Germany descending into martial law over fear of Islamic State attack

Germany’s failed project of bringing in over one million Muslim refugees in the space of a year has seen an explosion of crime and widespread sex assaults. There was also a lone wolf knife attack by an Afghan immigrant on a train, for which the Islamic State claimed responsibility; a search of the jihadi’s room turned up an IS flag.

Add to that a suicide bombing outside a popular music festival by a Syrian refugee, and the mall massacre in Munich, during which a Muslim eyewitness heard the killer shouting “Allahu akbar.”

Now martial law is descending on Germany amid fears of an all-out war. The military will now team up with police for joint drills in preparation of an Islamic State attack. Military patrols may also be seen on streets to protect the public.

This is what Germany has come to, despite Angela Merkel’s famous statement, “We can do this.”

MAINZ, Germany — Germany is preparing to train troops to be deployed within its borders for the first time since World War II amid fears of terrorist attacks.

The country’s armed forces will hold joint drills with police early next year, officials confirmed.

Authorities stress that counterterrorism measures will primarily remain the responsibility of police.

However, the potential for large-scale attacks have made the use of German military assets “conceivable, even probable,” according to Lt. Gen. Martin Schelleis, the Bundeswehr’s chief of joint support services.

Plans to involve soldiers in counterterrorism operations — and the suggestion troops could also be used to beef up security in public places — have proved controversial in a country only seven decades removed from totalitarian rule that’s still grappling with guilt from the Nazi era.

A 2012 constitutional court ruling paved the way for the deployment of the Bundeswehr on German streets in the aftermath of an attack.

Until then, Germany’s constitution had allowed for domestic military missions only under special circumstances — such as natural disaster relief.

The restrictive legal framework was instituted as a result of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler’s abuse of state powers.

Schelleis suggested that a terrorist attack could qualify as “such a grave disaster” to allow the armed forces to support the police…

Remember Frank Zappa’s song, “It can’t happen here?”

Is having troops support the police really martial law?

Every couple generations, Germany goes off-the-rails, pursuing some ridiculous, utopian, ideological, social-engineering scheme.

And the reality always becomes oppression, statism, and usually, war

And the darnedest thing is, Germany’s wounds are entirely self-inflicted. Why does it not occur to anyone that the solution to their problems is simply to kick the Muslims out?

And tall fences have been erected entirely around Munich's Oktoberfest grounds.

Plus there will be hundreds of police patrolling the grounds during the fest.

These 'refugees' bring nothing but death and destruction.

Sometimes a little German Nationalism needs to be expressed.

They are very good at this sort of thing.

It will only work if they round up the invaders and send them packing.

My brother-in-law lived in Germany in the late 1970s, when Germany was faced with threats from the Baader-Meinhof Gang (a.k.a. Red Army Faction). He told me it was very common to see heavily armed troops, particularly at highway checkpoints.

I bet those troops are being prepared to protect the Moslems, not the Germans...

We have been used since 1980 or so as anyone who allowed a Muslim into America knew they hated Christians. Jefferson knew that in the late 18th century and early 1800’s.

Is Angela Merkel dead yet?

George Soros puppet Merkel has done to Germany what Hillary will CONTINUE to do to the United States; Undermine Christianity and obliterate Western culture by using Islamists as their foot soldiers.

WAKE UP, AMERICA.

Immediately after 9/11, there were US troops at all the major airports. I didn’t hear any claims of martial law, then.

“Humanitarian” considerations, no doubt.

How does Merkel get around with being tarred and feathered?
