I've heard it all from Obama, from London's Sadiq Khan, from Macron,
from Supreme Party Chairman Merkel – and other political elites or from
those lackeys mouthing them in concert, with a smugness which may not
come back to bite them with a nasty vengeance, but more likely you and
the general public in any population being led by the nose by those
you're still told to trust.
And you've heard it as well.
Regardless of who says it, the words are the same, nearly down to the
letter. The message always sadistically, cynically two-faced,
DoubleSpeak sowing and harvesting a collective schizoid confusion:
"The thing to do is carry on as always, don't be affected by any of
this, pick yourselves up and get on with your lives, your usual business
– show those terrorists, and party hardy! After all, statistically
you're going to be far more likely to die or to be injured in a bathtub
accident or on the freeway."
And then comes: "Terrorism has
become a part of living in a major city, you just have to accept that
and come to terms with it. We'll continue to look after your security
as always – after all, you're in the safest of places to be."
Well I have a problem with that sheer fallacy of the
bathtub-and-car-accident argument – because like those kids after the
London concert nail bomb, it's full of holes, you see.
An
accident – fatal or otherwise life-changing – results from an oversight,
a neglectful action or inaction, a chance slip, a carelessness, to name
a few. A bathtub (or a ladder) does not cherish an intention motivated
by a 1400 year old, world class politically religious ideology and
doctrine to murder you as kafir or as apostate. Nor does someone
running a red light one sunny morning, whether DUI or just recklessly
distracted taking a selfie, do so out of some plan – sudden or
long-hatched – to take you out, whatever it takes to do so.
It
doesn't matter whether "most" or moderate Muslims will quite probably
never visit such violence upon you, it begs the question, it avoids the
issue intentionally. Most bathtubs, ladders, cars or trucks will also
not take your life, "statistically speaking". If the mere act of
addressing this stark reality for what it is – or calling attention to
signs of a preventable act of terror – designates you as somehow
"racially profiling", as "xenophobic" or "singling out Islam and
Muslims", then tell me this: where are all the other ethnic terrorists
in our cities, where are all the Jewish and Catholic and Protestant and
Hindu and Buddhist ones carrying out massively promoted acts of terror,
with truck or bomb or AK-47 or machete in increasing regularity in
major cities and towns and neighborhoods throughout Western EUrope and
the UK, Austrailia, the U.S., Canada, and much elsewhere as well –
driven by a central doctrine steered on a global level with absolute
domination in mind? Where is their Shari'a, their jihad?
A
better argument if you will, still altogether wobbly and fallacious at
best, pathological at worst, would be to pose the jihadi in comparison
with some mental case like a the guy who walks into a McDonalds and
opens fire, or a Columbine scenario. That doesn't wash, and even the
German Red Army Faction (RAF) or the KKK fail in this dubious
comparison.
A female co-worker of mine, while driving her tour in
a company car had stopped at a light this last week on a typically street-empty,
quiet Sunday morning, and quite unexpectedly received the dubious blessing from one of Merkel's
Guests which had been hitherto unknown in that part of the city but concerning
the likes of which I have frequently posted articles or written about elsewhere in Berlin, or in West Germany, or in France or Sweden or the
UK.
As there are refugee-asylum facilities being established in
neighborhoods all over Berlin and all over Germany, with – quite aside
from the former police statistics now being reassessed and published
reflecting the reality which they'd been denying or playing down till
even they no longer could, on the enormity of the rise of crime among
the nearly exclusively Muslim flood of Merkel's unvetted New Settlers –
plenty of attacks, rapes, muggings, robberies or burglaries in their
wake, my co-worker, a mother of two young kids, got a good taste of
that.
(She began with the familiar and obligatory "I'm not xenophobic, but..." and I stopped her right there – not because she is so but because she already is not so and shouldn't have to justify – as Germans especially and now all EUropeans are demanded to do and Stockholm-Syndromatically expect of themselves: to justify stating the facts as they are and telling it like it is. Becaus in today's climate just doing that much alone makes either of us already politically-incorrect, and this above all for confronting others with their own uncertainty and indecision, and their own self-disempowerment in the face of daunting Regime propaganda and Chairman Merkel's Communisation of Germany politically and de-indigenation of its population. I told her to never bow to their game, "because you as a German are already fair game.")
So, not being "an intolerant xenophobic and hateful" native German, she got "approached", so to speak.
The middle-age guy of recognizably Arab description, with
the well-known formula (earlier used by Turkish versions in prior
decades as well) of: "Hey! Du ficki-ficki??" tore open her car door
and peered in at her. Beside the prospect of being molested or even
raped, she was aware of all that she had with her right there on the
front seat, which she decidedly could not afford to have stolen from her
should he then force her out of the car while his awaiting accomplices
cleaned everything out. It was a horror, whose frequency those of us
paying attention are well acquainted with by now. Acting clearly, she
stepped on the gas and drove through red and got the hell out of there.
On telling me this she added another shuddering concern, which turned
her into one of those now paying attention: a female co-worker of her
husband's had recently gotten the following treatment to Chairman
Merkel's tolerant policies: in the office rooms of the social
care-giving facility located in a district not far from the above
incident, this female colleague had just gone to use the restroom or go
check on something, leaving everything unattended. In the short time
she was away, all the handbags and such lying about had been absconded
with by someone who had just traipsed in there and helped himself. All,
everything. When she returned, finding her own purse gone, she reacted
in panic. She went out to her car: gone. Later, on getting home, she
found her domicile had been cleared out, of everything. She had lost
everything you can name. She went as soon as possible to her bank to
have her account blocked – too late, all her accounts were now empty.
All, everything. The insurance wanted to have nothing to do with her,
she "had been negectful"... So the #WelcomeRefugees Club did get something right: With Open Borders there really ARE more possibilities available.
Address this, talk about it, demonstrate or remonstrate about it – call
it by its name – and you're already a "Nazi". So people speak in low
tones or say nothing. Familiar?
And this you also don't get from a bathtub or a reckless driver.
