Many Leftists still insist that there are no “No-Go Zones” in Europe, and that only racist, bigoted “Islamophobes” think otherwise. Will they now denounce Merkel for her sudden adoption of “Islamophobia,” and demand she retract on pain of political ruin? And will she jump to do their bidding? Grab some popcorn and pull up a chair.
“‘You have to call it by name’: Merkel publicly admits ‘no-go areas’ in Germany,” RT, February 27, 2018:
“No-go areas” do exist in Germany, Angela Merkel admitted in an interview, adding that the arrival of “so many refugees” in the country “has raised multiple questions.”
Speaking with RTL, Merkel acknowledged that there are areas in Germany where people cannot feel safe. She also made it clear that it’s time for the authorities to do something in order to ensure public safety.
“It’s always a point to me that [ensuring] domestic security is the state’s obligation, the state has the monopoly of power, the state has to make sure that people have the right to it whenever they meet and move in a public space,” Merkel argued.
She then took aim at “no-go areas,” which gained notoriety all across Europe during the refugee influx that reached its peak in 2015. Merkel bluntly dismissed the claim that ‘no-go areas’ are non-existent in Germany, stressing instead that “there are such spaces, and you have to call that by name and you have to do something about it.”
Merkel, who is steps away from her official fourth term as the Germany chancellor, said her government had a “tough time” in the past. She then referred to harsh criticism over her “open-door policy” and her reluctance to set an upper limit for the new refugee arrivals: “Of course, the arrival of so many refugees has raised multiple questions.”…
While the chancellor refrained from touching upon the subject of rising violent crime among refugees, her interview came several weeks after a government-sponsored study showed a drastic increase in violent crime committed by male migrants aged 14 to 30. The massive influx of asylum seekers led to a spike in violent criminal acts, the study, which was conducted by a group of criminologists and forensic experts, stated. The review was conducted at the request of the German Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth….

It everywhere always ends up like this: “Somebody must do something.”
Why don’t we forbid the word ‘somebody’ and replace it everywhere with ‘you’.
If anybody catches sight of somebody, grab him somewhere and hit him on the head with something.

What a beautiful, warmhearted woman that Merkel is. Perhaps Trump can convince her to visit us and help straighten out our immigration issues. Let’s hope.

Everyone makes easily fixed minor mistakes.
Some make mistakes which are more difficult to fix.
Merkel made a huge, irreversible mistake.
Phil Copson says
“…Merkel made a huge, irreversible mistake.”
Leaving your umbrella in the taxi is a mistake – inflicting irreversible damage on European civilisation is a deliberate act of sabotage by a thoroughly stupid, vindictive ego-maniac.
Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” or watching “The Forbidden Planet” provides the parallel: Mass-immigration is the self-constructed machine with which she has released “The Monster From The Id”, and her suppressed fantasies of destruction are now becoming real and breaking down the walls.
The punishment for all these public-sector parasites whose lives are dedicated to enriching themselves with other peoples’ money whilst inflicting as much damage as they can, should be to have all their ill-gained gains confiscated, and to be sent to live out their lives on their own in a flat in one of the disaster-zones they have created – frightened to go out during the day, and terrified every night that someone will break in and attack them.
She and the rest of her irresponsible playmates have organised this for other people – and if they believe this to be the right future for others, then what possible objection can they have to sharing it themselves
Guy Forester says
In addition to living in the disaster zone she helped create, Merkel and her co-conspirators should be made to clean the trash out of the streets every day.
tomparry says
Yes just the trash alone is increadable, just visit any 3rd world country and you will see citizens who have no concept of putting trash in a nearby trash can!!!!!!!!
Save Europe says
I’d be satisfied with her having a Ceaucescu ‘moment.’
gravenimage says
The worst thing is I’m not convinced Merkel is bent on trying to fix her mistake now.
PRCS says
The worst thing? That she knows she can’t.

Nice! Close the stable doors after the horse has bolted. Too little too late.
Gjallarhornet says
To the people who call us ‘racists’ for the fact that we for a long, long time have pointed out the problems … without thousands of people like us doing so and massive amount of pressure … there would have been NO admission from Merkel, nothing. Not a word. Same for Sweden. The latest now is to admit there are ‘some problems’*. Minor admission of course, but without all the criticism from people like us … NOTHING would have been said. Or done. And the insecurity would mount even more.
So there you go – pressure works.
*On Youtube there is a discussion between Douglas Murray and a female Swedish official, that indeed confirms what this is where they are now.

mortimer says
The Germans are such EXTREME DENIAL that they have not found a CLEAR TRANSLATION of the English term ‘NO-GO ZONE’ and so they say in German ‘NO-GO AREA’, because they are UNWILLING to think unkind thoughts about the MISOGYNISTIC SUPREMACISTS who want to wreck Germany and enslave all the Germans.
mortimer says
correction The Germans are IN such EXTREME DENIAL …
Guy Forester says
You might be on to something in the original. It seems the EU bureaucrats would like everyone (except the blessed “migrants”) to reject and forget their culture, race, and religion and embrace the new EU vision of what it means to be European. Whatever that is. It appears to me that per Merkel’s actions, Germans should deny being German, and Germany should deny being Germany so the favored migrants can feel “at home” and do as they do “at home.”
It is one thing to use race, religion, culture, ethnicity or national origin to harm or demonize some one as opposed to seeing these as attributes of you and your home country. Unfortunately, the widespread and unchecked influx of these unvetted migrants has led to the Europeans being preyed upon specifically based upon race, religion, culture, and national origin.
John Hawk says
Merkel didn’t have a migrant policy in the first place, just a mushy belief in the benefits of multiculturalism and her wishful thinking about the nature of Islam. What she has guaranteed is social strife and possible civil war.
Save Europe says
Respectfully, disagree. In 2010 ish she made a speech saying multiculturalism had failed in Germany. She’s too busy being bought off by the likes of Soros.
gravenimage says
True, Save Europe. Eight years ago, I actually considered her one of the saner European leaders. How things change…
Westman says
It seems her East German experience, much like Obama’s Kenya experience, distorted her thinking. We tend to project our perception of society, gained as a youngster, onto everyone until we get a few shocks.
Neither Merkel or Obama(?) believed a great many Muslims, who seem to be moderate in warm interactions, could have hidden jihad agendas that will surface later. Merkel is just now getting schooled about the treachery of Islam.
Save Europe says
This changed my opinion of her several years ago –
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u2HHgY59lGI
No Muzzies Here says
She must regret the actions she took at Obama’s orders, now that he is no longer in power and can no longer punish her for disobeying his order to let millions of his coreligionists into Germany and Europe.
Guy Forester says
I doubt that she did this on BHO’s orders. I suspect they both did this from the orders of those paying them out of the OPEC and/or OIC.
Note that BHO did bow to the King of KSA when given a gold medal. He went out of his way to make sure Iran got a plane load of cash. Wonder what his “commission” was or if he got a take on the “exchange rate.”
Carolyne says
I don’t know about Merkel, but Obama did it because he is a Muslim and it is his Islamic duty to destroy the infidel countries.
StellaSaidSo says
Both Merkel and Obama are globalists and leftists.
Savvy Kafir says
I always figured Obama was a closet atheist; but if he’s not a Muslim & a dedicated Islamist, he might as well be.
Elizabeth Lawson says
How proud must mad Merkel be, now that she has recognized one of her finest achievements, No Go Areas in the country that she governed so wisely and well – resoundingly NOT!
Segzy says
I have watched/read several analysis, write ups, condemnation, etc of the Liberal leaders of the West, among whom Merkel stands out, but the prevalent assumption among us(JW readers and ilk) is that the Liberal leaders are, stupid, ignorant, foolish, etc.
Have we ever stop to ask, are they really stupid! Or, are we getting the situation twisted, even worse, is this where they would rather have us(thinking they are stuoid).
The possibility that, in reality, they are very aware of the evil inherent in Islam is not far fetched.
Do these folks, Liberal leaders, have an end, in mind. Is there a bigger plan towards which the thorny beast of Islam is harnessed?
Communism? Globalism? Socialism? And all other ‘ism’?
Where will this game ends, what is their end and will this end be some utopia or comeuppance of their disdain for common sense, in their application of Islam as a means to this end.
Lotta questions and lotta uncertainty, when one takes peak at the larger picture.
Islam appears to be a well-fitting tool in the hand of the devil and cohort, it might as well be a means to an end, in their view
StellaSaidSo says
‘…a bigger plan…the larger picture…’
You are right, Segzy. The Muslim invasion is a means to an end. It is intended by the globalists to create a level of social chaos which requires a solution – a solution which will be implemented in the form of totalitarian control. The repressions which we see now are just the beginning.
gravenimage says
Stella, many fools who support Muslim immigration just believe they are “needy refugees” who are not dangerous to us at ll.
StellaSaidSo says
I was not referring to the ill-informed fellow travellers. I was referring to the elites who run the show.
eduardo odraude says
I don’t buy that what’s happening with Islam is controlled by globalists who understand Islam and are using it. No, the sources and wells of ignorance about Islam are numerous and deep in society, including among the globalists. Ignorance of Islam is incredibly widespread and comes from 1) disinterest 2) fear 3) Islam’s reign of terror, which even in majority non-Muslim nations induces self-censorship by most of those who are not ignorant of Islam. 4) Islam’s doctrine is camouflaged by the disorder of the Qur’an, which means understanding Islam in depth can be challenging and require also a knowledge of the Hadith and of what the top Muslim Qur’an interpreters, such as Ibn Kathir, say about each verse. 5) The huge amount of disinformation about Islam makes it hard for most people to find their way to a secure knowledge of the subject. Disinformation also convinces many there is nothing to worry about, and with that conviction, many lose all further interest in learning about the religion.
StellaSaidSo says
‘I don’t buy…’
You need to do some research, Eduardo. The role of the globalists in driving the current catastrophe is no secret. They are quite open about their goals.
eduardo odraude says
StellaSaidSo, they are driving part of the catastrophe, but that does not mean they know what Islam is. It means that for the most part they do not know what Islam is.
StellaSaidSo says
They don’t need to know ‘what Islam is’. They only need to know that it is an effective weapon in the realisation of their vision for our future.
gravenimage says
Agreed. Eduardo.
StellaSaidSo says
‘Agreed’
If you were better informed you would disagree.
gravenimage says
Dear Stella, with all respect, I still consider Islam a threat–I don’t believe Muslims are just being used by the West.
Walter Sieruk says
The German government authorities allowing Islamic “No go zones” in parts of Germany is nothing but appeasement and will be viewed as weakness of the part of the German, and other Westerners. This will only made those Muslims more arrogant and more demanding.

The thing I can think of asking Is “Why is she saying now?”
Sarah says
““It’s always a point to me that [ensuring] domestic security is the state’s obligation, the state has the monopoly of power, the state has to make sure that people have the right to it whenever they meet and move in a public space,” Merkel argued.”
I cannot believe this. Seriously, to see that evil old piece of work come out with that statement.
YOU ARE THE STATE, Madam Merkel.
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, Madam Merkel
YOU CAUSED ALL OF THIS, SINGLEHANDEDLY, Madam Merkel.
You are the Chancellor. Don’t go trying to put the blame on the Police or any respective federal security agency. IT IS YOUR POLICY that caused this. And not just in Germany of course – but you dragged ALL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION into this, without even so much as a polite ‘Hey guys, do you think we should let these people in?’
She’s nothing more than yet another greasy, sleazy Politician. She has destroyed Europe all for her own interests and now, is trying desperately to backpeddle solely to hang onto power- all the while yet still not admitting any actual responsibility or fault.
She can choke on her lies for all I care.The name Angela Merkel is going down in history alongside Adolf Hitler for her accountability in destroying not just Germany but Europe as well.
Guy Forester says
For those of you asking why Merkel is doing this now:
Merkel recognizes that she is about to lose an election. She is hoping to pull votes from those of her own party or the main traditional “other party” that have awakened to the peril they have been placed in by this poor excuse for a leader.
PEOPLE OF GERMANY, DO NOT TAKE THE BAIT!
Merkel has no intention of changing plans or direction, other than to look like she is slowing things down.
Vote this witch out. Tell her to take the broom with her that she flew in on. If the door does not hit her a$$ on the way out, put a foot there to make sure she keeps going.

“You have to call it by name”: Merkel publicly admits “no-go areas” in Germany
…………………………..
Things must be obvious to every German if Merkel is actually admitting this…
More:
“It’s always a point to me that [ensuring] domestic security is the state’s obligation, the state has the monopoly of power, the state has to make sure that people have the right to it whenever they meet and move in a public space,” Merkel argued.
…………………………..
Does it matter that this danger is due to Merkel’s own policies?
Guy Forester says
The scary part is that in the EU, “the state has the monopoly of power”. The government has no fear of the citizens for a good reason. They are powerless.
The UK is a wonderful example as well. A soldier, in UNIFORM gets beheaded by a jihadi. What is the response, armed citizens or colleagues coming to the rescue? No, out come the smart phones to video this. What are the soldiers told to do? DO NOT wear uniforms in public!
How do you think that episode would have ended in Texas or Switzerland?
gravenimage says
Yes–very disturbing.
And a Jihadist who beheaded a woman at a food processing plant in Oklahoma–and was trying to behead another victim–was shot by a company executive:
“Oklahoma: Muslim guilty of beheading coworker…”

MFritz says
Merkel’s strategy is to avoid decisions, never admit the full truth and wait until someone else can be blamed. Besides, the new (old) coalition is ready and for another four years nobody will stop her.
And I don’t see the German people (yet) hitting the streets to demonstrate her out of office.
CPH says
Merkel’s comments are nowhere to be found in the mainstream press. Therefore, they did not occur ….like the so-called no go areas she supposedly admits to. Everyone can continue listening to their ipods, taking selfies, and joining twittermobs to denounce islamophobes. There is nothing to worry about. Except what right-wing facscists are doing.
Ray Jarman says
It is like the theorem of giving a monkey enough time it could possible write a Shakespeare like play or one can fool some of the people most of the time but one can’t fool all of the people all of the time. Merkel is still a fool most of the time and why the Germans voted for her the last time is beyond belief and thank heaven that a judge has ruled that AfD’s Jen Spahn was not guilty of any hate crime and can mount formable campaign against her.

Yes you have to call it by name.
Merkel is a Quisling politician who has betrayed her own people and her own country.
Treason
Robert John Bennett says
No major website or media outlet in Germany has mentioned this story. You can find a German YouTube video of Merkel admitting that there are no-go zones in Germany, but 99.99% of Germans know nothing of this remark, because it has simply not been reported in Germany.
Wellington says
Merkel is a disaster.
For Germany. For Europe. For the West. For mankind.
The sin upon her head forever.
PRCS says
I still don’t know if she perpetrated this out of a sincere, but erroneous belief that Muslims–from Muslim nations–would assimilate into German and other essentially Christian cultures or–as some have asserted–it was the result of some repressed fantasies and spite.
StellaSaidSo says
Merkel is a globalist. She ‘perpetrated this’ out of her sincere belief in the need to destroy nation states in order to implement the globalist vision of ‘One World’ government.
PRCS says
Has she actually said that?
gravenimage says
Merkel has spoken in favor of globalism, but has always been pretty vague on the details that I have seen.
PRCS says
That’s why I try to not put words in other’s mouths.
Would be good if her actual thinking on this could be pinned down.
Did she create this mess to further “globalism” or with the misguided belief that Muslims–especially those from Shari’ah compliant nations–would integrate, assimilate and acculturate into German and other essentially Christian nations and contribute to social services longevity?
I just don’t know.
StellaSaidSo says
‘Would be good if her actual thinking on this could be pinned down’.
It has been. Repeatedly. In words and deeds. But you have to understand the globalist agenda in order to recognise Merkel’s lockstep compliance with it.
