The German Ship of Fools on the Rocks in Hamburg
Gates of Vienna ^ | 7 Jul, 2017 | Baron Bodissey

Below is a commentary piece on today’s G-20 satellite events in Hamburg, from Cicero.de. Many thanks to Egri Nök for the translation:

Grit your teeth and carry on!

by Alexander Marguier July 7, 2017

Riots of the left extremist scene overshadow the G20 summit. The police in Hamburg asked for reinforcements from other countries. But it is the state that has let it go this far.

Did anyone in all seriousness believe that the G20 summit in Hamburg would pass off peacefully? Then that would have been just as naïve as the opposite case would have been an unparalleled irresponsibility: to hold this event in the Hanse city in spite of considerable security concerns. But it seems that the government wanted it like that, apparently; the date, shortly before the elections, is a swell opportunity to stage yourself as a world-class agent with pose. So whether it was stupidity, or the usual German hubris: the motto of the planners was a determined “Grit your teeth and carry on!” The citizens will have to put up with a bit of collateral damage. Thank you for your understanding!

HMS Germany, Ship of Fools

Fortunately, there is always someone to pay for the party — you can rely on the taxpayer. And when a protest under the peaceful moniker “Welcome to Hell” gets just a little bit out of hand, then surely it was the fault of the police officers who forgot their good manners. That’s the way things are on the Ship of Fools HMS Germany, where every protest is “political” as long as the “activist” can just scribble his phrase on his banner — like “sink capitalism” and all that.

Maybe Germany is looking for a situation so they can enforce very strict laws on their uncontrollable population? Then extend those laws throughout the EU where ever there is dissent or an unwillingness to follow EU dictates?

What else makes any sense? This chaos was expected in Hamburg.

The german leadership are not fools, they are traitors deliberately destroying their nation and citizens, ie the native german people.

I was watching this stuff on TV today, and I wondered how many of these protesters do anything with their personal time and money to improve the lives of underprivileged people in their communities - or to improve ‘the world’ in any way.

They seem to just throw rocks, set things on fire, disrupt the lives of law-abiding people, and practice general destruction.

Whoever is funding and ‘inspiring’ them is hopelessly backward and juvenile.

Just like the leftists here. They think our accomplishments and prosperity must have been stolen from the poor countries of the world and they think we should be taken down to the same level. It would never occur to them that our prosperity could be available to every country if they would adopt Western Values and work ethic. Not every person will adopt these values, just like here, but that is their choice.

“At least 196 police officers injured in G-20 protests”

They would be better off if they would just go ahead and shoot a Commie or two. The rest of them would disappear and all in all fewer people would be injured.

The “Ship of Fools” is not just for Hamburg or the G-20.

It’s a “World Party”

Looks like they need to spray Prozac on the crowd or puke gas if more effective.

If the police opened up with one round of live fire, these punks would crap their pants and disappear forever.
