The Jackboot Comes Down Hard on Germany
Gates of Vienna ^ | 13 Jul, 2016 | Baron Bodissey/Nash Montana

Posted on 07/13/2016 4:03:24 PM PDT by MtnClimber

For several months the German police have been sporadically raiding the homes of people suspected of criticizing immigration on social media. Today the crackdown intensified considerably: sixty residences were raided. Note that Bavaria was once again the focus of police action — it must really be a hotbed of resistance against the Bundesrepublik’s policy on “refugees”.

Many thanks to Nash Montana for translating this article from Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, and to Egri Nök for the hat tip:

Germany: First nationwide raid against hate posts on the internet

Because hate on the Internet is rising, the BKA (Bundeskriminalamt, Federal Criminal Police Office) wants to set an example: this morning sixty apartments were searched nationwide. One emphasis is on Bavaria — that’s where the accusations weigh especially heavily.

On Wednesday, in their first nationwide operation to fight against hate crime on the Internet, the police searched the homes of sixty accused in fourteen states, among them eleven suspects from Berlin. The goal is to counter rapidly accelerating “verbal radicalism” and related criminal offenses on the net, the BKA explains in Wiesbaden. The supposed anonymity of the Internet lowers inhibitions about writing hate speech.

The government of Germany punishing free speech? Again? Last time that happened was the 1930’s under the National Socialist (a.k.a.)Nazi party headed up by a man named Adolph Hitler. Now they call free speech hate speech if the socialists disagree with the beliefs of right wing German citizens. Man, the left wing is just so very evil and hateful. The hate crime is punishing citizens for free speech.

Unbelievable, isn’t it?

If Hillary wins, wonder how long before that starts happening here?

We need to be aware that the groups/people being targeted were proclaiming NAZI or National Socialism sympathies with Antisemitism as well as Anti-Muslim Internet posts.

At least that is partially how the police are framing this.

NAZISM is in fact illegal in Germany.

Either way, this is how a Government takes full control.

From the article; they are encouraging people to turn in those that make this statements.

The irony here is off the charts.

Replace “criticizing immigration on social media” with “jewish” and the article becomes a trip down memory lane.

People criticizing the totalitarianism of islam are criticizing Merkel’s ideology too. Better to take down your enemies for how they disagree with someone else than for how they disagree with you.

Somewhere in Amsterdam there’s a little girl in an attic crawl space making anti-muslim tweets.

I completely agree.

These so-called radicals will simply drop the NAZI antisemitism and focus on the Muslims.

At least that is what they should do.

Well, for one they would not have been Muslims from the region in question so they wouldn’t have been acting like them

Please don’t compare 19th century American indigenous people’s, pagans though many may have been, with Muslim refugees. It gives far too little credit to the character and conduct of the one and far too much to the other.

I had to read that first line 4 times. This REALLY is going on? Are they for real?

It's quite real. It's happened already in Denmark, Belgium that EU subjects have been made to answer in court for criticizing "immigration", aka The Invasion and Conquest of Europe.

It was just a few months ago Chancellor Merkel was in New York and secured an audience w/ Zuckerberg of Facebook and Merkel received assurances that Facebook would comply with German speech codes and assist the government in identifying and prosecuting German users of FB.

IIRC, Twitter and Google are also on board with FB in acting as the intel-gathering arm in the government enforcement of European speech codes.

I'm amazed at some of the stuff Europeans still post online, virtually all of them are subject to arrest at any time.
Only sheer numbers protect them for now but as the news spreads, the lights will continue to be snuffed out all across Europe.

That's profound and poetic.

And chilling as Hell.

That is unreal, I had no idea about that. I knew about the law with the Nazis in Germany, you can’t bring that up but giving an OPINION on immigration? That is unbelievable. No wonder the left here wants the USA to be like Europe, that’s flat out fascism.

That is unreal and enraging. After all the men and women who gave their lives to rid Europe of fascism and these damn pukes bring it BACK? And not only that: They allow the modern day version of the Nazis to invade the country and rape the women? Merkel seems to have no issue allowing that does she, but just giving an OPINION on immigration gets prosecuted? What the hell?
