If You Want to See the Future of America, Just Look at Germany
The situation in Germany this Christmas should be a wake-up call to every American city that has a growing Muslim population along with Democrats in control of its governing apparatus.
Overath, a town of 27,000 people in North-Rhine Westphalia near Cologne, recently announced this year’s Christmas market has been canceled. The security cost required to protect visitors from potential terrorist attacks exceeds the budget of the event organizer. The local city government refuses to step in and cover any of the expenses, according to Rheinische Post. Christians, or at least those who still profess to be such, seem all too ready for capitulation.
The European Conservative writes:
“The Overath market will not be held as ever more frequent stabbings, car attacks and bomb threats during the holiday period have made security too costly.”
Thomas Kolbe, in an article at Zero Hedge, notes that since 2015, when Angela Merkel embarked on a full-blown open-borders policy, Germany and the other European countries have been slowly committing national suicide.
“The mass influx of young men from predominantly Islamic countries has deeply shattered the population’s sense of identity” and security, he writes.
Of course we didn’t need Kolbe to tell us that. I predicted it in articles as far back as 2014 and did a deep dive on the topic in my 2017 book, Stealth Invasion, which got banned by Amazon a few years later. I was also blackballed from the mainstream media after publishing that book. Nobody wanted to hear the truth about what mass Islamic immigration means for Western civilization.
Now that it’s becoming more obvious, to the point where even mainstream politicians like Chancellor Friedrich Merz have begun speaking out about the changing face of German cities, I don’t hear any apologies coming my way from Amazon or anyone else.
Even after deadly Islamist attacks, including when Berlin’s most important city square was hit in 2016 with 12 victims, followed by the Solingen festival stabbing in 2023 with three dead, or the bombing plot at the Magdeburg Christmas market last year, Germany still refuses to confront militant Islam pressing into Europe.
The list of Islamist attacks in Germany and Europe is a long one. Kolbe notes that when traditional festivals like Christmas markets are only possible behind heavy police presence and concrete barriers to stop jihadist vehicle attacks, it shows how intimidation of secular Western society has become wildly successful.
The cancelation of this year’s Christmas market in Overath is just the latest scene in a decades-long motion picture horror show. High security costs to protect visitors from terrorism make it impossible to open. The same is true in Dresden and many other German cities.
One would think they’ve reached a tipping point, where people rise up and say, no more! We’re taking our country back!
But there is no sign of courage or serious public resistance in sight.
In Overath, Islamists have managed, without any real resistance, to push aside a piece of tradition and communal life.
The pathetic renaming of Christmas markets into so-called Winter Markets represents a submission to Islam. A needless capitulation. Of course, this is where the interests of the Islamists and the secularists intersect, as the godless left has always hated Christmas and sought to replace it with a generic holiday like “winter break” or some nonsense like that. We’ve seen the same transformation in our public schools in America over the last 30 years, where Easter/Pascha and Christmas have been renamed so as not to offend the non-Christian faiths or those with no faith at all.
Germany is trapped in an identity crisis and a cultural meltdown. It’s like they no longer even care. Can the U.S. be far behind in this process of de-Christianization?
New York City, with the election last week of a Marxist Muslim mayor, is on the same trajectory. As are many other American cities, like Minneapolis, Dearborn. Hamtramck, Seattle and so many others that live largely under the boot of Islam on the one hand, and the cultural Marxists on the other.
At what point does the West wake up? And will it be too late? That’s a question to ponder as we head into the Christian holiday of Christmas. Don’t take it for granted, because it’s definitely under attack on more than one front.
I expect the pressures of this pincer movement to crowd out Christian traditions to intensify in the years to come. I would love to hear your suggestions on what the proper Christian response should be, so leave your ideas in the comments below. But please don’t tell me that all of today’s Christian holidays are mere recreations of old pagan celebrations, as I think that misses the point of what’s happening all together.
