Mass Migration, Brutalization, and Moral Decay

Alice Weidel is the federal co-leader of the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany) and the leader of the AfD faction in the Bundestag. Ms. Weidel delivered the following speech recently on the floor of the Bundestag.

Now that hers is the most popular party in Germany, she seems to feel emboldened in her sardonic broadsides directed at Chancellor Merz and the CDU, as well as the leaders of the SPD (Social Democrats).

Many thanks to Brunhilde for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling:

In her remarks in the Bundestag, Alice Weidel discusses a horrific situation in Nuremberg, where girls as young as thirteen were first hooked on hard drugs such as crystal meth. After they were addicted, the girls were pimped out by the criminals who addicted them, this being the only way they could get their fix.

The following report provides details on the appalling circumstances of the young prostitutes in Nuremberg. Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from Junge Freiheit:

Forced into prostitution with drugs? Migrants allegedly abused girls

May 22, 2026

In Nuremberg, a migrant gang allegedly systematically hooked girls on drugs and prostituted them. The police are investigating with a special squad. The youngest victim is reportedly 13 years old.

The police have initiated an investigation into a group of criminal migrants who allegedly exploited several girls. The police have established a special squad named “Kajal” to investigate the group. “There is suspicion that, in this context, sexual attacks and rapes have also occurred,” said the spokesman for the Middle Franconia police headquarters, Andreas Gramlich, to the Nürnberger Nachrichten. The youngest victim of the migrant gang, made up of men from Syria, North Africa, and Pakistan, is reportedly 13 years old.

The authorities believe that the suspects repeatedly approached girls on Nelson Mandela Square near the Nuremberg Central Train Station with gifts such as clothing and cosmetics, and later with hard drugs such as crystal meth to get them addicted. After the girls became addicted to the drugs, they reportedly could only get them through being sexually trafficked. As the Nürnberger Nachrichten reported, the police now reportedly have identified at least ten suspects. A 23-year-old is reportedly already in custody, two men are on the run, and another 18-year-old is under investigation.

Youth Welfare Office is concerned over the extent of drugs and prostitution

As of now, the police see no clear, identifiable group structure but are sure that a connection exists between the alleged persons involved. Police spokesman Gramlich describes the sequence of events and stressed that the victims apparently “went voluntarily into the apartments with them”, but that there was no recognizable organized structure on the perpetrators’ side. He promised that his authorities would follow the case “thoroughly”. The goal is “to shed light on the entire dark picture.” They currently believe that Nelson Mandela Square served as the meeting place.

The Nuremberg Youth Welfare Office spoke of the cases as representing “a new dimension.” Problems at large train stations are not unique to Nuremberg, stressed the deputy chief of the Youth Welfare Office, Frank Schmidt. But it is new that young girls are so openly prostituting themselves for drugs. “The city has a shortage of care for young people using risky drugs. The waiting lists are too long, the services are too few,” Schmidt laments.

Two of the girls involved have now been placed in establishments outside of Bavaria. Nelson Mandela Square in Nuremberg and the neighboring Celtis park have for years been considered places with rampant drug criminality.

Cutting Out the Middleman

Strictly speaking, young Henry Novak was killed last December by a dagger wielded by a Sikh named Vickrum Digwa, but a case can be made that he was murdered by officers of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, using young Vickrum as their proxy. Yesterday in Sheffield city center, it seems that officers of the South Yorkshire Police may have cut out the middleman and brought murder in-house.

I’m referring to an incident that occurred during a “Raise the Colours” protest in Sheffield. A young man with a Union Jack across his shoulders was violently hurled against a metal bollard by a police officer. The horrific assault was recorded on a number of cell phone videos, with this one perhaps providing the clearest view. The bollard was upright and bolted to the concrete, and can be seen at the far left of the screen cap at the top of this post before it was struck by the victim’s head. After the policeman did his job, you can see the same bollard tilted to the left at a significant angle.

There are widespread rumors that the young protester is dead. If this turns out to be the case, the immediate future for the UK in terms of public order becomes increasingly murky. Just think of the collective image that white Britons will carry in their minds after yesterday’s events in Sheffield — a patriotic English lad, wrapped in the flag, being hurled to his death at the hands of the South Yorkshire Police.

I have no idea of what comes next.

New U.S. Counterterrorism Strategy Comes Up Way Short

The following report by Clare Lopez was published earlier this month by Sharia TipSheet.

New U.S. Counterterrorism Strategy Comes Up Way Short

by Clare M. Lopez

The White House 2026 U.S. Counterterrorism Strategy

Some very real and current terrorism threats seem to be either missing or somehow downgraded in this new document. Islamic terror, for example, is cited on page 5 as “Legacy Islamist Terrorists”, although Al-Qa’eda and the Islamic State are named briefly and specifically later on. In what seems a glaring omission, in the Regional Breakdown of Counterterrorism threats, neither Iran nor its terror proxies are mentioned at all, even as the documented presence of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Force hit teams inside the U.S. remains unresolved and the extensive network of Hizballah operatives gets no mention at all. Neither is the role of the FBI in the domestic counterterrorism mission mentioned while DHS gets only cursory mention.

Between the Mountains and the Gantries

All the recent headlines about Belfast have brought to mind the following poem by Louis MacNeice. It has nothing to do with the current turmoil in Northern Ireland, but I offer it here as a window into life in Ulster in the years just before the Easter Rising, and during the Great War.

The gantries referred to in the first line are those of the shipbuilding yards of Belfast, most notably the Great Gantry in the Harland and Wolff shipyard, where the Titanic was built.

Louis MacNeice was born in Belfast in 1907, but the family moved to Carrickfergus not long after his birth. His father was an Anglican clergyman, and the family had Unionist sympathies. Young Louis was sent to boarding school in Dorset in 1917, which is reflected in the final stanza of the poem:

Carrickfergus

by Louis MacNeice

I was born in Belfast between the mountain and the gantries
To the hooting of lost sirens and the clang of trams:
Thence to Smoky Carrick in County Antrim
Where the bottle-neck harbour collects the mud which jams

The little boats beneath the Norman castle,
The pier shining with lumps of crystal salt;
The Scotch Quarter was a line of residential houses
But the Irish Quarter was a slum for the blind and halt.

The brook ran yellow from the factory stinking of chlorine,
The yarn-mill called its funeral cry at noon;
Our lights looked over the Lough to the lights of Bangor
Under the peacock aura of a drowning moon.

The Norman walled this town against the country
To stop his ears to the yelping of his slave
And built a church in the form of a cross but denoting
The List of Christ on the cross, in the angle of the nave.

I was the rector’s son, born to the Anglican order,
Banned for ever from the candles of the Irish poor;
The Chichesters knelt in marble at the end of a transept
With ruffs about their necks, their portion sure.

The war came and a huge camp of soldiers
Grew from the ground in sight of our house with long
Dummies hanging from gibbets for bayonet practice
And the sentry’s challenge echoing all day long.

I went to school in Dorset, the world of parents
Contracted into a puppet world of sons
Far from the mill girls, the smell of porter, the salt mines
And the soldiers with their guns.

Migrants are the Real Victims of the Belfast Beheading Attack

If you believe The Times, that is:

After Belfast riots, migrants live in fear of the next attack

Families sleep with packed bags and fire extinguishers beside their beds as addresses circulate online in a city locals say was primed for disorder

As a counterpoint, how long will it be before we see this headline?

After Belfast knife jihad, Catholics and Protestants live in fear of the next attack

Families sleep with hurling sticks beside their beds as local asylum seekers hunt down the kuffar

I won’t hold my breath.

When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.

— Koran 8:12 (Shakir translation)

Culturally Enriched in the Restroom

A Moroccan culture-enricher in the Spanish city of Dénia followed an autistic 17-year-old girl to the restroom of a pizzeria and had his way with her.

Note that the restaurant in question was a “kebab pizzeria”, i.e. a halal restaurant. I had halal pizza once when I was in Denmark, and it was nasty stuff. I’m not sure why anyone would voluntarily walk into such a place and eat the pizza, but that’s what this family did.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from Información:

Arrested for sexual assault against a minor with autism in the restroom of a pizzeria in Dénia

The man arrested by police was identified by the victim, who was with her family eating in the restaurant when she was assaulted in the bathroom.

by P. Cerrado
May 20, 2026

The National Police have arrested a 36-year-old man of Moroccan origin in Dénia, accused of sexually attacking a 17-year-old autistic minor in the restroom of a kebab pizzeria in Dénia, according to what this daily has confirmed from sources close to the case.

The incident occurred on the afternoon of last May 1 in a pizzeria in Dénia, but the minor said nothing to her family until they arrived at their residence, located in another municipality of Marina Alta. The 17-year-old minor went with her parents to a Civil Guard station to file a complaint for sexual assault with penetration. She claimed that it was not a consensual relationship and that she froze after telling him no and attempting to push him away.

According to the complaint, the minor was with her family in the establishment when they were approached by a man in his 30s, who began a conversation with them. He told them that he was of Belgian nationality but had spent ten years living in Dénia. The man gained their confidence and even gave them his phone number.

At a certain moment, the minor went into the establishment’s restroom. She claims that there was a knock on the door, but she did not open it, and when she was leaving, she met the man who had said he was from Belgium. According to the claimant, he lunged at her and began to kiss her on the mouth. He lowered his pants and began to touch her in her intimate parts with his hands. The victim claims that he also inserted his penis into her anus and believes that he ejaculated.

Paralyzed

The minor also said that the attacker was taking photos with his mobile phone when they were in the restroom, and the man wrote down his telephone number. Once the incident was over, the minor left the restroom but said nothing to her family because she was very afraid and was paralyzed with fear.

Her father was surprised by the time it had taken her to come back from the restroom and asked her if anything had occurred, but the minor indicated to him that she had become ill and had been vomiting. Nevertheless, once back home, she told her parents what happened, and they went to file a complaint. After communicating the facts to the Civil Guard, judicial protocol was activated, and the minor was examined at the Dénia hospital by a forensic doctor.

The sexual assault investigation was taken up by the National Police since it had occurred in Dénia, and the agents succeeded in identifying the attacker, who was recognized by the victim and her family from photographs.

Belfast Update

Both the victim and the perpetrator in yesterday’s knife jihad attack in Belfast have been named. The victim (who lost one of his eyes) is named Stephen Ogilvie. The Sudanese perpetrator is named Hadi Alodid.

According to The Telegraph:

Belfast Victim in Coma After ‘Unprovoked Attack’

The Belfast knife attack victim is in a coma after being repeatedly stabbed in an unprovoked assault, The Telegraph understands.

Stephen Ogilvie, 44, suffered knife wounds to his face, neck and back during the attack on Monday night.

The victim, who is originally from Rathcoole, Newtownabbey, is disabled and has schizophrenia. He lost his left eye and remains in a critical condition in hospital, with relatives by his bedside.

Mr Ogilvie’s family, who have condemned the riots that erupted following the attack, said his life had been saved by passers-by who tackled the knifeman with a hurling stick.

Hadi Alodid, 30, is accused of attempted murder, possessing a knife and threatening to kill an NHS radiographer on the same day. He appeared at Laganside magistrates’ court today, where he was remanded into custody.

I recommend scrolling down in the Telegraph story and reading the live feed updates (the earliest entries are at the bottom) to get a sense of how events are unfolding. It sounds like things have really kicked off in Belfast.

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

Up until the advent of mass migration into Northern Ireland, which is relatively recent, the principal ethnic conflict in Belfast was between Protestants and Catholics, Unionists vs. Republicans. The Protestants are the descendants of Scots who were settled in the northern part of Ireland by the British about four hundred years ago, whereas the Catholics are from native Irish stock. Those Scots who moved on from Ireland to North America and settled parts of Appalachia are generally known as Scots-Irish.

I gloss the victim’s surname Ogilvie as Scottish (correct me if I’m wrong on that), which would mean he probably has a Unionist/Protestant background. As a matter of interest, the hero with the hurling stick is named Maitiu Mag Tighearnan, which looks very Irish Gaelic to me. Maitiú is the Irish form of Matthew, and Tighearnán is generally anglicized as Tiernan. I don’t know about Mag.

Does that mean a Proddy was saved from beheading by a Popish fellow? If so, what does it portend for Catholic-Protestant relations in Ulster?

Beheading Thwarted in Belfast

As you all know by now, a Sudanese culture-enricher attempted to behead a man last night in the middle of Kinnaird Street in Belfast. The victim managed to survive the attack, thanks to the heroic actions of a bystander named Maitiu Mag Tighearnan who whacked the mujahid upside the head with a hurling stick:

Asked on social media why he had intervened and whether he had waited for the police, he said: “Mate, I just landed there by chance. Cops were called before I even got out to protect a young lad. As if waiting on cops was my first thought.”

A GoFundMe has been set up for Mr. Tighearnan. I hope the police don’t arrest him for carrying an unregistered hurling stick.

The victim was badly wounded, and is now in the hospital. His eyes were reportedly severely damaged.

The entire incident was recorded on someone’s cell phone. All the versions of the video in the mainstream media have been severely pixellated, but the original footage may be found in multiple places on X, such as (WARNING: GRAPHIC) this one.

The as-yet-unnamed mujahid was originally said to be Somali, but that has since been corrected to Sudanese. He travelled from Africa to Paris, and thence to Dublin, where he took a bus to Belfast. He then claimed asylum, and was given leave to remain in the UK.

Then for some reason his knife became enraged and went looking for infidel blood.

My favorite line from the various news reports is this one: “Police have said there is no evidence that the attack was terror-related.”

Well… There’s always this:

If you encounter the disbelievers in a battle, strike off their heads. Take them as captives when they are defeated. Then you may set them free as a favor to them, with or without a ransom, when the battle is over.

— Koran 47:4 (Muhammad Sarwar translation)

And also this:

When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.

— Koran 8:12 (Shakir translation)

But all that has nothing to do with terrorism. Notwithstanding the fact that the victim and the bystanders were terrified. And I can guarantee you that it also has nothing to do with Islam.

My guess is that the guy is a loony. They usually are. He may well have shouted “Allahu Akhbar!”, as loonies are wont to do when they try to behead people. It means “I have a history of psychological problems” in Arabic.

There have been calls for a mass protest this evening in Belfast. Political and religious leaders have, of course, condemned such plans, calling for calm and forbearance on the part of the populace. Evening is just beginning in Belfast as I write this, so we’ll have to wait and see what happens.

Now for some excerpts from the news. Firstly, from the Telegraph:

The suspect in an apparent attempted beheading in Belfast is an asylum seeker, the chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland has said.

A man in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after the victim suffered “significant injuries” to his face, neck and back on Monday night.

PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher said the suspect is believed to have travelled from Sudan to Paris, and then from Paris to Dublin, on unknown dates, before taking a bus to Belfast in February 2023.

He immediately claimed asylum and was given leave to remain in the UK in September 2023, Mr Boutcher said.

Police have said there is no evidence that the attack was terror-related.

Footage shared on social media — which is too graphic to publish — appears to show the knifeman pinning the man to the ground before repeatedly stabbing him in the head.

The injured man, a resident of the area in his 40s, is being treated in hospital, where his condition is described as serious.

And from the redoubtable Daily Mail:
