Fear of Terrorism Puts the Dampers on Oktoberfest
Gates of Vienna ^ | 7 Oct, 2016 | Baron Bodissey

Posted on 10/08/2016 7:48:40 AM PDT by MtnClimber

All public gatherings in Germany are now considered likely targets for Islamic terrorists. The annual Oktoberfest in Munich is possibly the most well-known and iconic of German festivals, which makes it the favored goal for suicide bombers and “amok” killers. Security has been increased dramatically, but attendance at the festival has dropped by half.

It’s not mentioned in the news story below, but there are reports that sexual assaults have increased dramatically even as attendance has decreased.

Germany has become a Dhimmi state.

It may appear so now, but the jury is still out...

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling


It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy -- willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.

I remember one time during Oktoberfest in the little town my wife and I first lived in called Auringen, near Wiesbaden. He dad came over one day and he brought back the biggest damned bier mugs I’d ever seen to the house after being out to the center of town.

I still have the mug. Binding Bier..... it is at least a 1 liter size or more.

"Germany has become a Dhimmi state.

If German men are so intimidated by Muslim Jihadists that they are hiding under their beds instead of attending Oktoberfest, then, yes, Germany has indeed become a Dhimmi state.

Thinking on it that’s less than a ‘40’.....probably closer to 1.5 or 2 liters.

If you check out the weather reports from the first four days....it was dismal. Most people reported crowds for that first weekend as “weak” but blamed it on rain and cooler temperatures. Things improved for the rest of the fest.

I do agree that this entry-point business probably made a bad impression on folks. Toss in the no-backpack rule and the younger crowd probably was hesitant.

Hmmm... this was never a problem in the past, what changed? Oh, yes, you begged millions of backwards cult followers into your country, people who have about 30% of their ranks bent on your country’s death and destruction!

Hurry, you need to bring in another wave or people might think you are xenophobic and you will go to liberal hell! /s

An ironic side note is that here in Abu Dhabi, UAE they are having a big Oktoberfest at one of the venues in the tourist area on Yaz Island (where the F1 track is located). I’m talking Ompah band from Nuremberg, DJ, lots of beer and partying. A couple of the guys I work with went and had a great time.

I’ve never understood that. Why would you want all of your beer for the day in one single glass?

The muzzards have won. They don’t have to blow things up. All they have to do is breed. And they can do it with 4 wives. And soon polygamy will become legal de jure, not de facto as it is now.
