German intelligence warns of far-right mobilizing against refugees
Turkey's Daily Sabah ^ | September 27, 2015 | Agence France-Presse

Germany's domestic intelligence chief warned Sunday of a radicalization of right-wing groups amid a record influx of refugees, as xenophobic rallies and clashes shook several towns on the weekend.

"What we're seeing in connection with the refugee crisis is a mobilization on the street of right-wing extremists, but also of some left-wing extremists" who oppose them, said Hans-Georg Maassen on Deutschlandfunk public radio.

He added that for the past few years his service had witnessed a "radicalization" and "a greater willingness to use violence" by all extremist groups, including the far right and the anti-fascist far left.

Maassen spoke as Germany expects up to one million refugees this year, and after protests against refugee homes and clashes with police again rocked several towns on the weekend, mostly in the former communist East Germany.

Police and soldiers guarded two buses carrying about 100 refugees Saturday night to a shelter in the town of Niederau, in the eastern Saxony state, after right-wing protesters had rallied at the site, a former supermarket, since Friday.

More than 1,000 people also demonstrated against refugees in several towns in the eastern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Friday, including in coastal Stralsund where three people were wounded in clashes with counter-protesters.

In the eastern city of Leipzig, the right-wing rally "Offensive for Germany", organised by a local anti-Islam activist with about 400 marchers, sparked a larger left-wing counter-protest that police said drew more than 1,000 activists.

In the ensuing street clashes, the rival groups hurled rocks and fireworks at each other.

In the western city of Bremen unknown persons attempted to set fire to a tent set to house refugees from October.

This year alone has seen 22 arson attacks against would-be or existing refugee shelters, said Maassen, whose service is called the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

Whether there is truly organized opposition to the EU-sponsored invasion is debatable

But what the German Government IS saying: IF we have to start cracking heads against disgusted German citizens, it will be all their fault, because they are Nazis or skinheads.

Governments never consult its citizens about immigration policy. They aren’t allowed to know what it is, or how its made, and if they dare to question it they will be ignored, silenced, shouted down, mocked or denigrated. Or maybe they’ll sic the “domestic intelligence” secret police on them.

Wanting control of your borders, your culture, your country... these are the hallmarks of extremists. /s

You notice the German government considers its own citizens to be a security threat but a million foreigners can come rolling in and they don’t blink an eye.

Since they clearly aren’t serving the interests of their citizens, you have to assume that someone has made them a better offer. You have to wonder if the chancellor has an investment portfolio in a Saudi bank and a dossier in the Saudi intel chief’s bottom desk drawer.

Heck, the executives don't even bother to consult their legislatures anymore. I don't recall the US Congress voting on this issue, and I don't think the Bundestag voted on it either.

‘Clash of cultures’....what did they expect...that all of Germany's citizens would just simply stand by and let this influx of Muslims stand?

Whatever happens in these clashes among Germans.....it would not be happening apart from Merkel’s insistence that Germany become the temp-plate for Multi-Culturalism.

Merkel will sick the police on those opposing the Muslim Refugees as she did here last month....

Just a few words from some old, dead, wise guys:

--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--

Pathetic when the traitor Merkel gets the German police to protect the Muslim hordes.

Merkel now so cruel and evil, she’ll probably tell the German army to kill German citizens when it all kicks off, kill her own citizens to protect her new citizens.

B-tch needs to go. I’m told she’s doing this to impress the UN as she wants to be UN Secretary-General next year. As I commented on another thread, her Totalitarian Dictatorial and sadistic instinct against the whole of Europe’s peoples, imagine the UN with Merkel running it? The evil she’ll do, we’re really heading for the NWO then.

Germans need to follow the Finns, the Finns greeted the “poor refugees” with petrol bombs and entire towns of people blocking off the roads so they couldn’t get in.

“Poor refugees” don’t like Finland now as it’s “racist”

You can bet on it. Nothing else makes as much sense.

It’s getting to the point where you have to say, “Thank God for Football Hooligans.”

Instead of right and left wing “extremists”, maybe they are Germans that just want to keep their culture and country.

Which is suspiciously similar to what is going on over here in the U.S.

I didn’t realize she was so ruthless but I can see it now after thinking about it.

I think it’s good that you live in England. The Channel will stop many.

That sounds like America.

Anti-refugee rallies were located:

...In the eastern state of ‘Mecklenburg’-Western Pomerania towns on Friday... more than 1,000 people resulted in three casualties in clashes with counter-protesters.

...In the eastern city of ‘Leipzig’, the right-wing rally “Offensive for Germany”, organised by local anti-Islam activists with about 400 marchers, sparked a larger counter-protest that police said drew more than 1,000 activists.
