But not, you’ll note, at the Muslim migrants who committed a huge number of sex assaults on New Year’s Eve. It is clear that there is a new protected class in Germany, as in Britain and elsewhere, and those who oppose this invasion are branded “right-wing” and shot with water cannon.
“German police fire water cannons at PEGIDA protesters in Cologne,” RT, January 9, 2016 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
German police have used water cannons to disperse PEGIDA demonstrators in Cologne. The anti-immigration movement were rallying against a rash of assaults on women, blamed on migrants in the city on New Year’s Eve.
Over a thousand supporters of the far-right movement took part in the protest in the center of the western German city on Saturday. They chanted “expulsion,” while waving German flags and other banners inscribed with slogans such as “Rapefugees not welcome.”
“Merkel must go” was another popular rallying cry with the demonstrators. The far-right supporters are infuriated with German Chancellor Angela Merkel for her soft stance on refugees, and statements that the country could accept over a million asylum seekers.
Scuffles between the police and PEGIDA supporters started after the demonstrators hurled firecrackers and beer bottles at law enforcers. When they continued to throw projectiles, police deployed two water cannons and used pepper spray to disperse the group. Supporters of the anti-immigration movement were then herded towards an area near the city’s station.
The police in Cologne could also be seen making a number of arrests of those supporting the PEGIDA movement. A police spokeswoman said the PEGIDA protest had attracted some 1,700 people, half of whom she described as coming from the “hooligan scene,” Reuters reported….

They certainly are a privileged and protected group, the Muslims. Here in the US our federal government has their protection as its highest priority, so says Barack Obama and his rabid little lap dog, Loretta Lynch.
jewdog says
We’ve seen this before: a government more intent on protecting foreign enemies than its own people. Back when, the people formed the Continental Congress and established a government designed to protect them instead.
jihad3tracker says
GERMANY IS SINKING INTO NON-REVERSIBLE CHAOS EVEN FASTER THAN I PREDICTED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO.
AND REMEMBER, OF COURSE, THAT ANGELA MERKEL IS TIME MAGAZINE’S PERSON OF THE YEAR FOR 2015.
If you want to launch a wee bit of retributive justice on the Multicultural Fools who think that publishing a “well respected” magazine like Time gives them some sort of importance, Google the author of the long article justifying choosing Merkel, and send along an email to whatever comment option is available there.

Well she wouldn’t be the first German leader who’s actions lead to Germany’s downfall
Solomon says
“Well she wouldn’t be the first German leader whose actions lead to Germany’s downfall”
She also wouldn’t be the first German Führer to receive Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year.” Angela has far more in common with Adolf than she knows.
Guest says
I don’t believe this report. Pegida are not ‘far right’ but just middle of the ground people who don’t want the truly extreme right wing, islam, to take over Europe.
I have listened to all their speeches since they started.
Also, they have a strong policy of not being violent and co-operating with police. Throwing things at police is totally against their policy.
I’ll try and find out more and post translations.
SuperSwede says
To the European media, every party or movement that is not leftist is “far right”. You want to sing the national anthem on national holidays? You’re far right! Or even worse: perhaps a patriot or nationalist!
The situation here is ridiculous.
Ginger says
Agree. The BBC and MSM in the UK persist in calling PEGIDA extreme right and publishing pictures of a small minority who look like thugs.. The BBC is still reporting that the NYE attackers are “alleged” to have been migrants.
Salome says
I heard a broadcast from Al Jazeera (of all things), saying that there was also a counter-demonstration, and that fireworks and bottles ‘were thrown’, but not by whom. Still called PEGIDA ‘far right’, of course.
Sile Draper says
Here in the UK the BBC used to be held up as beacon of truth and integrity. Those times have passed. We have ceased to watch BBC news as we know just how biased it is.
ECAW says
Yeah, I watched a report by the BBC last night. There was a silly girl saying “Over there are the far right PEGIDA. Behind me are an anti-fascist group”.
My head hurts this morning…but the wall came off worst.
Creole Gumbo says
Right you are. It is the same thing happening with the Tea Party here. If you oppose the far left then of course you constitute the far right.
Jihadophobic says
Correct: Islam is the most Right Wing of all, yet they are protected. “Right Wing” means controls in the social sphere: what people do in private and public is controlled, who they marry, what they think, what they wear etc. Left wing means economic controls. Islam’s Sharia is pure Right Wing politics.
Myxlplik says
I know, I’ve carefully poured over all of the photos I can find & the “journalists” tend to zoom in on some guy with a tattoo, but never the hundreds of German Grannies in the background.
David A says
Islam is far left totalitarian state controls everything. Far right is libertarian.
SoCalMike says
Far Right is simply a Leftist code word that means Bad Guy or Bad Guys.
It’s an all purpose smear word the Left use to smear anyone who dares challenge the Party or the Party Line.
Don McKellar says
There better be elections and there better be elections fast in Germany.
Hugh says
Don;
From what I read the next federal election in Germany … that is … for Chancellor is late 2017.
But also from what I read … Elections can be held earlier under certain conditions, for instance if a government loses a confidence motion.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_German_federal_election
Don McKellar says
By late 2017 the country will be in the midst of a civil war.
She made the insane claim that all the “migrants” there only for economic reasons would have to be leave in a year. It will be a nightmare trying to do that. As I responded in another thread to your researched link, the confidence motion needs to happen right now. Every day increases the future tragedy as this madwoman seeks to destroy Germany.
Deception from the political class says
In reply to Don McKellar, the political class in all western nations want to use diversion and lies and deceptions to erase the perception of the problem. Here in Australia they say they will deport “dual nationals” who are terrorists…yeah but that is about 5% of the terrorists. what about the others? In Germany, Merkel will say we will deport the rapists…but the other 950,000 can stay. They then do their raping in the next generation. These people believe that anyone who is not a muslim is filthy..and yet Merkel wants to import them into a western country. The definition of insanity is Angela Merkel.
John Johness says
Looks like the police in Cologne can control a demonstration better than they can protect their own women. They must be proud.
At least Reuters and AAP are picking up the story – AAP “The number of women coming forward with assault allegations after a night of sex attacks and thefts in Cologne has risen to 379, a police statement says.”
The press’s culpability in this cover up was, and still is, astounding. the TV news services are not even running this.
Scott M says
Excellent assessment – “Looks like the police in Cologne can control a demonstration better than they can protect their own women”.
So true. and with the social media censorship that is now going on in Germany, that place is going to be totalitarian hell very soon – if not already. This disease will spread to other countries – just watch the politicians try and copy Merkel – I think someone will try to assassinate her. What she has done is THAT bad.
Hugh says
To any and all German commenters …
Deutschland, Deutschland über alles !
Good to hear the Crusader flag was flown. Someone gets it. This is a holy war.
Onward Christian Soldiers and Teutonic Knights.
We “crusaders” here in the US stand with you in spirit, Germany. I wish we could stand with you in person. Maybe someday soon we will.

Jack Holan says
At some point all divisions of German Society will be negatively affected by the Savages. After the families of Police, Firemen and Politicians are impacted there will be a more Universal call for the expulsion of Single 18-50Year Old Men.
Westman says
Only “half” the demonstrators were “hooligans” is a direct acknowledgement by authorities that the makeup of demonstrators is changing toward “moderate” citizens. In the past they were all “hooligans”. With modern communications the illusion, that aristocratic “leaders” are wiser than the people, cannot be maintained.
The earthquake has already happened; the tsunami, unseen, is moving on its way to drown the career of every politician who supported uncontrolled migration.
RichardL says
Hi Westman, I am from Germany and one of the first 350 members of the AfD and have supported PEGIDA from day one. The hooligans (HOGESA( are a problem as they do not represent the middle-German values that PEGIDA represents. They also waved flags that in some of the federal states are outlawed.
Having said that, I have right from the start start said that Merkel will be the worst chancellor since Hitler. She is like Hillary Clinton: no values, just wants to rule.
Thjis will not end well. It never does in Germany.
salim says
Disgusting action by the German authorities. But the same happened in the UK (Rotherham) with hundreds of victims and no body was punished. Also it has been happening in Sweden and Norway and covered up. And we don’t know what else happened and was not reported.
The rot is everywhere in the once great Europe.
Guest says
Don’t let this demonstration form your opinion of Pegida, because it looks like Pegida was not in charge here. HOGESA (Hooligans gegen Salafisten) should not allowed at these demonstrations and real Pegida people need to take full control and throw out any racists and violent idiots, as they do in Dresden.
This is my translation from Selberdenker’s article on PI: http://www.pi-news.net/2016/01/koeln-jaegers-neuer-bock/#more-498222
“Cologne: Jaeger’s New Blunder
It began so hopefully: thousands of participants at a resistance demonstration against the government – of all things in the left crony-metropolis Cologne! The end was again catastrophical. Pegida Dresden has now shown for over a year how it’s done – Hogesa has apparently still not got it.
Some questions about this day in Cologne:
Why did one allow Hogesa to lead the demonstration, thus forming its image and ultimately destroying that image? Even in Hogesa there are some good people who get it and who have some relationship with the Hooligans – where the hell were they?
Why were there German imperial war flags (Reichskriegsflaggen) right next to the speakers, why the advertisements for the REPs, despite the ban? Why was that permitted?
Why did some people have their faces covered, after the police had banned it several times? Why were police orders not followed?
Where did the firecrackers come from? Was it idiots or was it our enemies (inside or outside the demo)? At least some of the participants were certainly not supporting the cause.
Where were the internal stewards? They completely failed!
The police leadership was also not interested in de-escalation. They aimed to prematurely end an unwanted demonstration in Cologne! Tear gas was also recklessly shot at thousands of peaceful citizens. One saw disabled people, elderly people and women protecting their eyes. Here escalation was desired – ruthlessly.
There were so many people on the street, it started so well – and it has ended so badly. Ordinary citizens were scared off again today. Who achieved their goal here?
The police also allowed maximum action against German patriots and against simple citizens with legitimate concerns. One picture of today imprints itself: water cannons and tear gas pushing back German flags [ie the modern tricolour].
One question was called at the police a thousand times and remains unanswered:
“Where were you on New Year’s Eve?”
Losers, irresponsible endangerers of the population and dividers govern our country. NRW Interior Minister Jäger has committed another blunder today!
Today was a bad day. However, this is far, far from over!”
Guest says
PS, I’ve posted this without Selberdenker’s permission, because time seems of the essence. Selberdenker, if you read this and would like to change anything about the translation, go ahead and make any changes.
Salome says
Here’s AFP’s take on it: ‘Chanting “Merkel out” and waving placards with slogans like “Rapefugees not welcome”, xenophobic German PEGIDA members have vented their fury in a volatile protest against migrants after mass sexual assaults on New Year’s Eve.’ It would appear to be xenophobic to protest about mass sexual assaults by foreigners. Mein Gott!
Mockingjay says
This cannot be happening.
All I can think about is what a ball the ‘rapugees’ must be having over this one. They must be laughing their freakin’ heads off.
European authorities showing they are very willing to brutalize their own population, to get them ‘back in line’ while doing next to nothing – and then lying about it – when muslims cross every line there is in western society. Even now, I think a grand total of some 29 rapugees or so have been arrested over Cologne so far. There were 1000 or more of them on that square! And there were many, many more incidents in many, many more cities.
Its all just so immensely perverted, its getting increasingly harder to believe that this is really happening.
Hope says
Mockingjay, I feel that way every day now, the feeling that all of this seems unreal, that it can’t really be happening. When you consider the scale of it and how many formerly civilized countries are being destroyed, how many innocent lives are being sacrificed, and you look at the lies being told by the media and by government officials, it reads like a bad futuristic apocalypse novel. It is beyond scary that so many people on the Left are so pathologically devoted to the ideology of multiculturalism that they will literally end up dying for it.
Joaquin Veyron says
Maybe, me, as a German I can comment on this article a little bit.
I was not present in Cologne, but I followed up on German news channels.
I think, although I can and support the anger of my compatriots, this demonstration today in Cologne was more ore less a self-goal. It started off with excellent speeches – also by Tommy Robinson, but the rally went bad when they started marching through the city and parts of the hooligan scene who also were present indeed started hurling bottles and even fire crackers at the police.
This was not only useless but also stupid and was detrimental to promoting the ideas of this anti-Islamization movement to the general German public.
Although almost 100 % of Pegida demonstrations in Dresden are perfectly peaceful and civilized, it was a mistake not to exclude the hooligans who are provoked easily. So, the reaction of the police, I have to admit, was justified.
Germany is – believe it or not – a state of rule of law. Pegida wants to protect the German constitution not weaken it!!
EYESOPEN says
How do you know that the “hooligans” aren’t – in part or in toto – paid thugs used to force a government “response” against legitimate demonstrators?
DFD says
Joaquin Veyron says
Germany is – believe it or not – a state of rule of law. Pegida wants to protect the German constitution not weaken it!! ————–
Try tell that to the Muslims. Rule of law is applied, perhaps ‘overapplied’ to Germans, and Swedes, and English, and and and …. But not to the Muslims. They are excused from it. Even protected from it.
I am afraid, the European peoples will have to become peaceful. I don’t think there’s another way. Unfortuinately. It’s good to want peace and to be peaceful, but if the Muslims insist on war – not in words/declarations, taqyia that is, but by their actions – you’d better fight.
Unless you know of another option.
DFD says
sorry, typo……
What I meant to say was: “…..the European peoples will have to become LESS peaceful…
Correction applied.
nicu says
It is not the first time that peaceful people are attacked by the police in germany !
If 7000 Kurds do a rally – they run away , but shoot German people blind with water throwers ! ( Stuttgart 21 )
anna says
i don t understand, we vote people who give us laws who are against us? So, whay are they there? it doesn t matter that the guvernment has power, army, nuclear bomb, we, the mass can decide, or they can kill or prison all of people from the country who not agree with their political correctness?
Pong says
I explain it to you, fast and simple. People elect the government in the system of “vulgar democracy” – one person = one vote. Most people are stupid and uninformed. As a result – very few people through the party system decide who will govern the country. It is done on the basis “what I will get from it”.
The only way to change the politics, is to change the system. It isn’t difficult, but no government will change a system, which brought it to power.
Germanicus says
If you want to see forceful, fast, efficient police action, try standing up to Muslim thuggery (or any other thugs, for that matter). You will quickly feel the jackboots on your throat while the thugs are treated with kid gloves.
It is quite amazing what can be achieved where there is real political and cultural WILL.
vlparker says
Only 1700 protesters? Should have been at least 10 times that many.
Porky The Crusader says
Should have been 50 Millions.
Hans says
Pegida is not far right but at this Demo also real Nazis wanted to join and also the Hooligans from HOGESA who also had Nazi members-IMPORTANT:HOGESA was founded by a guy who was on the pay list for german secret police VERFASSUNGSSCHUTZ!!!
Also there are some people(Pegida Demonstrators) who sayed to the police:Stop him!He throwed the firecracker(from the PEgida Demo)than run away…the poice answered:We didnt know-he showed a PRESS LICENCE!!!
So a guy with a PRESS LICENCE throwed a firecracker to the police and then run away-so it looks like the Pegida people had thrown it!
But we had a lot of leftwing Reporters-when leftwingers attack the Police they only show pictures when the police fight back-never the attackes of the leftwingers!thats not journalism-thats propaganda,right?
guest says
Thanks Hans. Can you post a link to this press licence statement for those of us who speak German? This is important.
Roy Mears says
Until those in government that think Islam and freedom are compatible, are removed, it will only get worse. Islam is not a religion or a race, what it is, is a death cult. You know we are in trouble when even the MSM is giving air time to Muslim terror instead of burying it. Every news cast lately has a minimum of three to four accounts of Muslim wrongdoing. Wake up world war has been declared on our way of life and it is time to respond in kind. Obama Merkel and Trudeau will destroy the free world if not removed and soon.

German police fire water cannons at anti- “rapefugee” protesters in Cologne
……………………..
As noted, they sure as hell weren’t firing water cannons at *Muslim assailants* robbing, molesting, and raping women in Cologne.
And how insane is that picture above? Not only are police wielding a water cannon, but they are all in helmets and riot gear–while the Pergida demonstrators I can see are “armed” with nothing but signs and banners.
Madness.
ECAW says
The police show that they won’t protect native women and then cover up the fact. Vigilante groups form to protect women. The state and Muslims and leftists respond. Vigilante groups turn into militias. And so we drift inexorably toward Europe wide civil war.
Ther are only three possible outcomes,harmonious coexistence, eventual subjugation or civil war…and one of those isn’t a possibility.

“Shocking” video shows Muslim migrants shooting guns and hurling fireworks in Berlin. Looks like something out of a war zone. It’s shocking only to people in denial of Muslim culture and mentality. To anyone else it’s expected conduct.
Why has the liberal media not shown the full story, concentrating on those nasty ‘neo nazis’ who provoke the peaceable Muslim ‘refugees’?
And one has to ask ‘where did they get the guns?’

I’m sure every Muslim they recruited for the police force since 9/11 in their ‘outreach’ programs was working that day! And loving every minute of blasting anti-Islamization protesters in the back as they were walking peacefully (as we can see in all of the photos published) with water cannons and pepper spray. In fact, maybe that has something to do with how police let the rape, molestations, beatings, and firework attacks go on and on and on, yet a week later they are out in force to attack the protesters against those attacks. (Muslim/leftist alliance in the police force.) Food for thought. There is evidence suggesting this goes on, as they always made Tommy Robinson deal with Muslim police officers when harassing/persecuting him.

“To All Women Everywhere: A Sincere Apology. On Behalf Of All Men
We were wrong.
Woman do not need us say it to be who you are:
…we need to say it for our healing and redemption to begin.
We were wrong.
We have mistreated you.
For centuries, we have not regarded you as the givers of life.
The bearers of children: of us.
…of our children.
Of nursing us when we were young, of giving life to us when we were but cells in your womb.
In spite of this, we emerged from your body, and treated you badly.
As sex objects, as our slaves.
As inferior creatures when in fact the opposite was the truth.
We owe life to you, and yet too many times; for hundreds of years we have taken life from you.
In little pieces.
Each time we raped you, we tried to show that we are superior.
Each time we spit on you, we tried to deny your place in this cosmos.
Each time we denied you the power you showed the you deserved, we tried to pull ourselves up by our own boot laces.
Each time we tore life and sex from you, it was an attempt at defining our own pathetic “power”.
We were wrong.
Each time we made you feel inferior, telling you where your place was; through position, compensation, and sexual dominance, we assumed our lordship over you, and tried to be stronger than you…
wiser than you…
bigger than you.
We were wrong.
We acknowledge that as a society realizes the true position of women, it will thrive.
As men exercise male dominance, society will suffer.
We acknowledge that you are our very source of life, and we are sorry for assuming dominance over you.
We were wrong.
In touching, taking, and lusting without respect, we were represented by a thousand men,
and we were wrong.
In trying to cover up what happened to way too many of you, at the hands of way too many of us. In men who represented us as men the world over, taking from you once again that which did not belong to us.
You have a right to be who you are. To dress how you choose. To bare your body as you desire. To mate with whom you will. To nurse your babies as you see fit. To be who you are in all of your individual and collective beauty.
We as men do not have a right to touch, to look, to feel, to fuck, unless you decide that is to be so.
Unless it is with respect.
We are sorry.
We were wrong:
to take,
to touch,
to rape,
to molest.
We were wrong to subject you to the home when your place was the seat of power; to subject you to inferior positions when we should have been listening to you.
We were wrong.
Accept our pleas for forgiveness as men.
Many of us as men know the truth, and desire to begin our relationships anew with you.
You are power.
You are beauty.
We acknowledge this.
And we acknowledge that you do not need us to say it
for it to be the truth.
WE
WERE
WRONG.”

Yes, the new protected class is called muslim “rape-fugees”. They listen to the call of prayer every evening before their next rape.
Mark A says
Interesting how Reuters automatically labels PEGIDA as “far right”, a term clearly meant to be derogatory.
Perhaps we should all adopt the term in protest.
Mark A says
If the PEGIDA protesters are described by Cologne police as “coming from the hooligan scene” I wonder how the police are describing the mob of 1000+ “asylum seekers” who caused all the hooligan scenes on New Years Eve,
SuchindranathAiyerS says
Just like India. The Polizei are chastising the anti-rape protesters, while Henriette and Angela are mulling how best to compensate Moslems who are roughed up for committing their religion which is mistakenly defined as crime in non Sharia law.
Steve says
Germany is performing reverse racism. “All the refugees are nice” is equally stupid as “All refugees are evil”.
Merkels general invitation starts to show its effects. Rapefugees start to enthusiastically “integrate” themselfes into German Ladies….
The Police is ordered to attack Protesters, and somehow its easy to waterjet entire Groups of them, but among the molesters they are looking for individual evildoers, instead of bringing them all to Justice. Some for sexual assaults, and the rest for shielding them. I consider that a Crime too. It nicely shows the coward nature of these Assholes, always moving in Packs.
Call me a racist, but the muslims just dont feel like integrating, they want to take over and nobody (who could do something about it) seems to care.
Germany is going to repeat its history with roles reversed, this time the Muslim migrants claim to be the “Master Race”, and the Germans will be the hunted. I really hope it doesnt take another incident like new years eve to make them aware of the fatal mistake that was made. But Carneval in Germany 2016 will be Hell on earth.
Merkel has reached her goal, she will have her place in the Historybooks. But how will this crazy Lady be remembered?
Joystick says
It has begun. Rapefugees enthusiastically “integrate” themselfes into German girls, and the Police waterjets the Protesters.
What the hell is going on?
What needs to happen, to make People wake up?
I do not consider myself a racist, but i am sick of the primitive, testosterone loaded Muslim Cowards that always move in Packs. Shielding a crime is a crime. I have no idea why the Police is trying to pick individual molesters, since the whole group has comitted a crime.
On Pegida activists, they are not remotely as selective.
Shame on Merkel, this crazy Lady is putting Europe into dire straits.
