Sad and tragic:
“Firefighters across the Belgian capital of Brussels are expected to be escorted by police officers during New Year’s Eve celebrations due to the high level of danger involved when operating in the city.
The new policy is largely designed to mitigate the violence against firefighters in the EU capital that was seen last year and will require that police escort the firefighters to and from incidents for their protection”
The cause for the “state of war” in once peaceful Brussels is not identified in the Breitbart article. But its cause is clear. Jihadists took advantage of globalist open-door immigration policies and infiltrated refugee streams. The New York Times reported about Brussels:
Around the world, this city of great, if often ramshackle, charm has become Exhibit A in the case against immigration, particularly when it involves large numbers of Muslims.
Donald J. Trump called the Belgian capital “a hellhole,” while Lubomir Zaoralek, the foreign minister of the Czech Republic, recently cited the city to explain why his and other Eastern European countries had steadfastly resisted a plan by the European Union to spread Syrian and other Muslim refugees around the Continent under a quota system.
“All the people in the Czech Republic and in other countries see what happened in Molenbeek,” he told a security conference in Slovakia over the weekend, referring to the Brussels borough where many of those involved in the attacks in Paris on Nov. 13 and in Brussels on March 22 grew up.”
Public sector union police SLFP representative Eric Labourdette commented about the state of Brussels:
“The politicians would not have taken action if they did not fear incidents. But removing the bins from the streets to avoid fires is of no use. And the next step, what will it be? Will we remove the cars, the bus shelters? “
Politicians should be managing their borders to prevent the chaos Brussels now finds itself in. While accusations fly, the reality about the politicians is that they created a “hellhole” for emergency services and citizens, and the situation will only get worse. They opened their borders indiscriminately. But note that it isn’t the politicians who may be kissing their wives and children goodbye as they go for war duty against Islamic supremacist thugs; it’s emergency service personnel and, of course, the public that must face the dangers.
And here is an additional dilemma that Western countries face, thanks again to globalists who are playing Russian roulette with the lives of their citizens, paid for by their tax dollars:
“You can bomb Raqqa, and you may consider that to be war, but you’re not going to bomb Molenbeek or Schaerbeek or St.-Denis, unless you’re ready for civil war,” said François Heisbourg, president of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, referring to heavily Muslim areas of Brussels and Paris.
“‘State of War’: Police to Escort Brussels Firefighters on NYE Due to Violence,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, December 31, 2019:
Firefighters across the Belgian capital of Brussels are expected to be escorted by police officers during New Year’s Eve celebrations due to the high level of danger involved when operating in the city.
The new policy is largely designed to mitigate the violence against firefighters in the EU capital that was seen last year and will require that police escort the firefighters to and from incidents for their protection, La Libre reports.
While the measures are designed to protect firefighters in the line of duty, not all are happy about the need for police protection.
Public sector union SLFP representative Eric Labourdette commented on the move, saying: “We are going to have to escort firefighters who are going to rescue people. Is that normal? Not at all! We are in Belgium, not in a state of war! Politicians must, at some point, ask how we are arriving at such a situation, having to escort our rescuers.”
“The politicians would not have taken action if they did not fear incidents. But removing the bins from the streets to avoid fires is of no use. And the next step, what will it be? Will we remove the cars, the bus shelters? The real problem is the lax approach to the behaviour of these young people who, last year, did not hesitate to trash everything in their path and to take it to the emergency services,” he added.
Labourdette went on to add that firefighters had been recently trained on how to react against aggression from the public but questioned why they should have to in the first place. “‘Is it normal to be here?’ I ask our politicians again. Soon, we will have to intervene to save lives while wearing bulletproof vests,” he said…..

Thank you EU – Thank you Merkel ! Pics from Berlin were private fireworks were not allowed : https://www.welt.de/vermischtes/video204690266/Verbotszone-in-Berlin-Hier-wird-Krieg-gemacht-Video.html
Happy New year anyway
Westman says
Muslims Shooting guns into the air, aiming firework rockets at buildings, and the Berlin police stand watching with their faces covered. There is neither respect for unbelievers by these Muslim scoff laws or by the police – who are being tested by Islamic aggression and found weak. What chaos will a weak-willed Berlin administration watch in 2020, hoping it will go away?
ToBeFrank says
The so called Islamophobes told you that this would happen and you labelled them with derogatory titles; so now enjoy your creation.
tim gallagher says
I agree with your comment, ToBeFrank, except that I’m pretty sure the political types who have created this revolting situation probably will be safely tucked away in some affluent area of Belgium where they don’t have to “enjoy” any of this chaos they have caused. The average person will have to live amongst the violence and chaos that the elite types have so stupidly created.
Warmac9999 says
Maybe they will be tucked away, but their grandchildren won’t. One can only hope they live long enough to see their folly – preferably at the end of a blade.
tim gallagher says
I agree, Warmac9999, I also hope these fools, or, maybe, they are traitors who do actually know how they are destroying countries like Belgium, do come to realise the folly of what they have done. I don’t want them to be slaughtered by the Muslims they have let into the country, but I would love hear them at least show some shame and apologise for the idiotic policies they have presided over. I doubt whether we will ever hear any apologies though, because I suspect these types of clowns are far too arrogant to admit how wrong they have been. I just can’t believe that everyone hasn’t woken up to the endless trouble Muslims bring to all our countries by now.

The refugee welcome committee must be enjoying this
Student of History says
Sooner than you think coming to an area near you if you live in Europe or parts of the US or even Australia.
Thank the globalists who are communists hell-bent on creating civil wars in western society so they can impose their one world communist government that they have engineered people are going to beg for.
Or…
. . . rebrand islam and IDEOLOGY and remove any who profess(ed) following it out of your lands. Then you won’t have this coming to an area near you. But don’t forget to get rid of all the globalists too, or they will soon try again.

I hope the US will be a rather different case from Europe, for two reasons: the First and Second Amendments. Europe lacks both, unfortunately.
Michael Copeland says
“We are in Belgium, not in a state of war!”
Allow us to explain, M. Labourdette. You ARE in the Realm of War, Dar al Harb, according to Islamic teaching. You are the enemy of the muslim: the Koran says so. Your country’s system of government is anathema to Islam, something that muslims are instructed to fight against in order to impose Sharia, as Sharia4Belgium have made clear.
The problem is that your Dear Leaders are not doing anything to counter this: they facilitate it.
tim gallagher says
A very good explanation of the situation, Michael. Muslims always have values that are totally incompatible with and antagonistic toward our western values. It is so unbelievably stupid to keep letting them into our countries. We are bound to end up with the same foreseeable problems everywhere. Belgium is just an example of what all our countries can expect to face in the future if they keep accepting Muslim migrants and “refugees”.
Steve B says
But it’s a Breitbart article and therefore can be dismissed…
James Lincoln says
Steve B,
According to Wikipedia:
“In April 2016, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that the “outlet (Breitbart) has undergone a noticeable shift toward embracing ideas on the extremist fringe of the conservative right” and was using “racist”, “anti-Muslim” and “anti-immigrant ideas…”
If the SPLC is against something, it probably deserves another look – with an open mind…
eduardo odraude says
Steve B,
Don’t like Breitbart? Then what about the New York Times:
“Around the world, this city [Brussels] of great, if often ramshackle, charm has become Exhibit A in the case against immigration, particularly when it involves large numbers of Muslims.”

Eduardo, I think Steve was referring to how Leftists see Breitbart.

Look at your future America
Just Venting says
What future? We have been there since 9/11/2001. Unfortunately, our leadership has been more like Neville than Winston or Franklin. Instead of naming, facing, and eliminating the attackers, we were told to take a vacation and/or go shopping. People like Phil Haney got fired for pointing out who was doing the attacking.
BTW, what happened to the brave Belgians that fought the invading Germans in WWI and WW2 rather than roll over and play dead? Come to think of it, I could ask that about the US, England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway.
Warmac9999 says
That was when war was really. Now it is an internet game – until it becomes real once again. The Gods of the Copybook Headings.

Brussels: Police escort firefighters during New Year’s Eve celebrations due to “state of war” conditions
………………….
Why is the capital of peaceful Belgium in “state of war” conditions? Only because they have allowed the invasions of millions of Muslims.
Belgium does not keep official statistics on religion, but these stats give some idea: 70% of the population of Brussels is of foreign origin, and of those about 36% are of non-European backgrounds, mostly Moroccan, Turkish, and Sub-Saharan African. One can guess that this means a *lot* of Muslims.
Tavish says
How about the Belgian police do their job and arrest those who do cause problems when firefighters do go out to send the message that criminality will not be tolerated? Then they wouldn’t have to do this….Europe is creating its own no go zones which will devastate the economies in terms of tourism and investment collapse.
Rufolino says
Can’t imagine the cost to France of the damage to tourism. It has to be immense, but there is little talk about it. I suppose even that would be Islamophobic.
Tom says
It’s too late locking the barn door after the horses have bolted. The EU has destroyed Europe and those who made the decision to allow mass migration of muslims should be held accountable when the inevitable breakup if the EU occurs. Just as the UN should be defunded for their Compact on Migration that is intended to swamp the west with third world, mostly muslim, migrants.

Don;t surrender yet–I hope patriotic Europeans *stand up*.
