Germany Strikes Blow Against ISIS
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 12 Sep 2014 | John Semmens

Posted on 09/15/2014 1:20:40 PM PDT by John Semmens

The German Government has decided to strike back against the ISIS reign of terror in Iraq and Syria by revoking its access to civic amenities.

Included in the ban would be the total loss of privileges to use public facilities such as meeting rooms at libraries, ramadas at public parks, and participation in public parades. In addition, security personnel at sporting events will be instructed to deny admittance to anyone wearing Isis symbols including hats, t-shirts or other garb with the organization’s insignia.

Defense minister Thomas de Mazière, characterized the restrictions as “a measured response. We want to give them the chance to feel the bite of these penalties and see if it reforms their behavior before considering more aggressive actions.”

Maybe I don’t understand, but that doesn’t qualify as striking a ‘blow’ to isis in my book.

“We did not want to go to the extreme of permitting beer vendors to over-foam the beer served to them, as this might have reflected poorly on the German beer vending industry.”

This isn’t satire....just a few points removed from the truth...

I assumed satire and looked for the source right off. Europe is as paralyzed as we are.

The thing that saddens me when I read this blog is that the satire so darned close to truth that only a couple of weeks of progressive “devolution” separate them.

“The ISIS flag joins a growing list of banned flags, including the American flag, the Gadsden flag, the Confederate battle flag and the NASCAR checkered flag.”

We would know they are really getting tough when they cancel passports like the Brits.

We know that if it weren’t satire, Germany would be striking a bow against ISIL.

“US President Barack Obama said in a statement ‘Germany’s bold and responsible approach to the ISIS issue shows the world that a tough but equitable response can be put forth by the adults in this world.’”

“President Obama also mentioned a new strategy his administration will be instituting in the days to come. The president said ‘I have instructed the NSA to stop monitoring all electronic communications between members of ISIS. As Edward Snowden revealed, when the NSA monitors an entity, that entity starts to believe it is important. Therefore, if we stop monitoring ISIS communications, it will show ISIS we do not consider them to be important. And thus, they will cease to be a concern.’”

To Germany’s credit, there are reports that some of their special forces personnel (along with the U.S.) are already on the ground in northern Iraq:

I think the presence of Kommando Spezialkräfte (KSK) will strike more fear in the hearts of ISIS fighters than the loss of the library cards.

Whenever you hear that more Americans are being sent to Iraq to protect our embassy and the airport, many of them are actually SF being sent to assist the Peshmerga.
