Zwei Drittel aller gewalttätigen Angriffe auf Politiker in 2025 gegen AfD-Repräsentanten. Politiker aller anderen Parteien wurden 62 Mal Opfer von gewalttätigen Attacken.

Neues aus der Bananenrepublik D! Wenn das den Tatsachen entspricht ist das ziemlich schlimm!

Kein Politiker einer gesetzlich zugelassenen, das Grundgesetz achtenden politischen Partei sollte Gewalttätern zum Opfer fallen! Völlig unakzeptabel!

"... Zwei von drei Gewalttaten gegen Politiker haben 2025 einen AfD-Repräsentanten getroffen. Das geht aus einer Antwort der Bundesregierung auf eine Kleine Anfrage des AfD-Bundestagsabgeordneten Martin Hess hervor. Demnach gab es 2025 insgesamt 121 gewalttätige Angriffe auf Mitglieder der AfD. Politiker aller anderen Parteien wurden 62 Mal Opfer von gewalttätigen Attacken. ..."

Who’s Funding and training the Aggressive Anti-ICE Tactics Used by Activists Like the fatally shot female driver?

Good question! Time for President Trump to follow the money trail and drain it!

"... the activist [female driver] shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis last week after the vehicle she was operating made contact with the agent, appears to have been following aggressive tactics promoted by the leftist-funded organizing group Defend the 612. ...

“MN ICE Watch,” an Instagram page, shared screenshots from a “de-arrest” primer, which gives agitators advice on how to prevent law enforcement officers from taking someone into custody. ...

The resources page also recommends a tactic of “following ICE vehicles while honking and blowing on whistles when they are sighted,” aiming to create “traffic jams and slowdowns.” ...

some of the Left’s dark money nonprofits appear to have bankrolled a nonprofit that has organized a fundraiser for Defend the 612. ...

an agitator and claimed that new evidence shows her “STALKING and IMPEDING a law enforcement operation over the course of the morning” of her death. ...

“This footage corroborates what DHS has stated all along—that this individual was impeding law enforcement and weaponized her vehicle in an attempt to kill or cause bodily harm to federal law enforcement,” ...

De-Arrest Primer

The “de-arrest” primer’s aggressive tactics have gained attention online. ...

“A de-arrest, aka an unarrest, is the act of freeing someone who has been seized by Law Enforcement Officers [LEO],” the primer states. “A de-arrest can look like physically removing an arrestee from LEOs’ grips, opening the door of a car, or pressuring LEOs to release and arrestee.”

The primer recommends hugging an arrestee with a secure grip; “pulling and pushing an officer off of an arrestee”; opening a car door to let the arrestee go free; and pressuring law enforcement to release arrestees by “totally surrounding the officers who have the arrestee or otherwise blocking them and/or their vehicle.” ..."

US State Department designates 4 groups in Europe affiliated with Antifa as foreign terrorist orgs

I suppose this is good news! So called Antifa groups have been causing trouble and crimes in several Western European countries (e.g. Germany) for at least 4-5 decades!

Hopefully, some Western European countries will follow suit and support the US effort!

"... There are four Antifa groups in Europe — one in Germany, two in Greece, and one in Italy — which have all been accused of organizing or carrying out bombings, shootings, and other politically motivated attacks.

The FTO and SDGT designations require U.S. financial institutions to freeze their assets and ban their members' entry into the U.S. The designations also allow the U.S. to criminally prosecute those under its jurisdiction who offer material support to FTOs or conspire to offer such support.

A group called Antifa Ost has been linked to attacks between 2018 and 2023 in Germany, with seven individuals with ties to the group charged by German prosecutors. ..."

Was the assassination of Charlie Kirk a horrific culmination of disturbing trends of the recent past?

It may well be the case!

E.g the many and severe riots that broke out after the death of the lifelong petty criminal and drug addict George Floyd were outrageous and unacceptable! 

E.g. when a high ranking U.S. Senator (Chuck Schumer) threatens two US Justices (Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch) with violence, then the Rubicon was crossed! I believe, Chuck Schumer was never officially admonished nor censored for his remarks! He half-heartedly apologized for it later.

"Over the past nine years, Americans have watched mobs topple, decapitate, and deface our statues. They have threatened our saints and desecrated our graves. Churches have been firebombed, torched, and stoned.

Activists, reporters, politicians, and judges have faced threats at their homes. Families have endured harassment, students and speakers have been assaulted, and ordinary citizens have been besieged while police stood by — or looked the other way.

Nine years of warning signs piled up. We ignored them. We sped past every flashing signal, comforting ourselves with America’s deep well of goodwill and tolerance for disruptive behavior. We closed our eyes and hoped the storm would blow over.

It wasn’t just statues and churches under attack — though history shows that when mobs destroy symbols of faith and culture, they soon target people next. Violence on campus offered some of the earliest and clearest warnings. By 2016 and 2017, speakers such as the Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro, provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, and the Claremont Institute’s Charles Murray required heavy police protection. Others were assaulted outright. ..."

Is the autor a nutty professor or a demagogue or both! I am afraid  a demagogue!

Among other things, this professor describes common historical, but crude practices of the 18th century as political violence. One may beg to differ!

Note this professor is apparently an Italian professor at a university in Italy, so why does he title this article "who we are?" I bet, he is a lefty (communist?) Italian professor.

The first several paragraphs are already a strange hodge podge:

"The day after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University, commentators repeated a familiar refrain: “This isn’t who we are as Americans.”

Others similarly weighed in. Whoopi Goldberg [???] on “The View” declared that Americans solve political disagreements peacefully: “This is not the way we do it.”

Yet other awful episodes come immediately to mind: President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed on Nov. 22, 1963. More recently, on June 14, 2025, Melissa Hortman, speaker emerita of the Minnesota House of Representatives, was shot and killed at her home, along with her husband and their golden retriever. ..."

The circumstances of the June 2025 killing and injuring of two Minnesota Democratic Party affiliated legislators by one man on the same day, I believe, are still under investigation. Not familiar with the details, it appears the suspect also killed the husband and a dog and may have also tried to kill the wife. The suspect also appeared to an employee of the Minnesota government.

The author continues:

"... Revolutionary violence as political theater

The years of the American Revolution were incubated in violence. One abominable practice used on political adversaries was tarring and feathering. It was a punishment imported from Europe and popularized by the Sons of Liberty in the late 1760s, Colonial activists who resisted British rule.

In seaport towns such as Boston and New York, mobs stripped political enemies, usually suspected loyalists – supporters of British rule – or officials representing the king, smeared them with hot tar, rolled them in feathers, and paraded them through the streets. ..."

Caveat: I did not read the whole article.

Charlie Kirk dead at 31 after assassination at an Utah university event as a speaker

R.I.P. One can disagree with others in politics, but not shoot them!

There seems to be still some confusion about the details of this assassination at this time.

Not least, many of the Dimocratic Party politicians need to lower their irresponsible and reckless rhetoric about Trump etc. Trump Derangement Syndrome most likely played a role in this assassination.

I don't claim to have known Charlie Kirk very well, but I have followed his opinion pieces/statements off and on for some years.

"The university confirmed that police have a suspect in custody. The campus has been closed and classes canceled until further notice.

"A single shot was fired on campus toward a visiting speaker. Police are investigating now, suspect in custody," the school confirmed in an emergency alert.

“We do know there was a shot fired from the top of the Losee Center,” UVU confirmed in an earlier statement. “Someone appeared to be at the top of that building or somewhere inside. ..."

Is the UnitedHealthcare CEO killer trying to plead insanity

Recent news reports of the killer's strange behavior in public definitely suggests that this killer (who shot his victim in the back) could be trying to go for a plea of "not guilty by reason of insanity" (NGRI).

I blogged here about the strange coincidence of Altoona, PA.

But is he insane or is he clever? If he is clever, I hope the jury is not falling for his insanity playbook.

I am not familiar with the case, but how did the killer find his victim in Manhattan?

How common is lethal violence against politicians?

The editor in chief of the Nikkei Asia hinted at it in his latest newsletter.

"Almost two years ago, in July 2022, former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot and killed while speaking at an election rally in the western prefecture of Nara. He was shot from behind, and when he turned around to see what was happening, he was repeatedly shot again, which proved fatal. ... 

In the same year of Abe's death, Imran Khan, a former Pakistani prime minister who remains popular, was also shot and wounded while leading a march on Islamabad to demand early elections. The country has a long history of political violence. Its first female prime minister, Benazir Bhutto, was assassinated after an election rally in 2007. ..."

Bad news! A mayor was also recently assassinated. When criminal gangs terrorize a country supported by criminal gangs in another country.

The historic irony of Shinzo Abe's assassination

Given the fact that violent attacks on top Japanese politicians are rare in Japan, but there was, for example, another assassination attempt on a Prime Minister in Japan.

In 1960, then Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi was assailed and stabbed several times with a knife. He survived. He also was the maternal grandfather of Shinzo Abe.

According to the Japan Times (see below), there were actually at least a dozen or more severe attacks on Japanese politicians since 1900. In 2007, the mayor of Nagasaki was shot by a "senior member of a crime organization". Thus, you wonder why the security detail of current and former politicians are apparently incapable of preventing a direct close proximity assassination attempt.

Die Linke - Reiche erschießen

Unglaublich! Die Mauer fiel und der Sozialismus ist in Westdeutschland eingewandert!

"Bei einer Strategiekonferenz der Linkspartei spricht eine Teilnehmerin davon, Reiche zu erschießen. Parteichef Riexinger distanziert sich nicht deutlich. Von der Partei heißt es nun, die Bemerkung sei „kein ernsthafter Vorschlag“ gewesen. ... Der Parteivorsitzende Bernd Riexinger, der auf der Bühne sitzt, reagiert nur mit einem einzigen Satz: „Ich möchte nur sagen: Wir erschießen sie nicht, wir setzen sie schon für nützliche Arbeit ein.“ Der Saal reagiert mit Beifall und Lachen. ... Die „gesellschaftlich nützliche Arbeit“ ist ein Begriff aus dem Universum sozialistischer Theorie, auch die SED setzte auf diese verpflichtende Arbeit. Die Partei betrachte „die gewissenhafte, ehrliche und gesellschaftlich nützliche Arbeit als Herzstück der sozialistischen Lebensweise“, heißt es etwa im Programm der SED von 1976. Auch im Strafvollzug der Stalin-Zeit spielte die Idee der Besserung und Umerziehung der Inhaftierten durch „gesellschaftlich nützliche Arbeit“ eine große Rolle."

On The Massive Violence Against The G20 Summit in Hamburg

Posted: 7/7/2017  Amended/Revised: 7/8/2017, 7/9/2017

Principles First

There is absolutely no excuse whatsoever for violent and destructive protests in a civilized society!

If one accepts for a moment the premise that civilization is only a thin veneer hiding an otherwise selfish and brutish nature of humans, then it is even more important to indict and jail violent and destructive protesters as swiftly as possible.

General Observation

Extreme violent and destructive street protests by a minority of militant and fanatical radicals committed in inner cities of Germany is nothing new. Those protests have been observed frequently since the 1960s or so. They don’t occur on a regular schedule, but perhaps more in waves with periods of peace in between.

The Excessive Leniency Of German Law Enforcement & Justice System

The widely used German term for excessive leniency displayed by German law enforcement and the justice system is “Kuschelstrafe” (something like cuddly punishment).

There is a strong and prevailing intellectual mainstream in Germany based dishonesty and self delusion: Criminals are not guilty, but society is; violence and destruction is excused like the end justifies the means and so on.

Who Are The Instigators?

Perhaps, it is not much more than a conspiracy theory of mine, but I suspect that these groups and their leaders receive financing and perhaps even other support from somewhere.

If you were able to follow the money trail and if you consider who would benefit the most from this kind of turmoil, the usual suspects come to mind: rogue country sponsors like Russia, Iran, North Korea or even China.

It is also possible, as suspected in Germany, that major, political parties in Germany are giving support to the organisers of these violent and destructive protesters.

Do Global Summit Meetings In One Location Still Make Sense
