“You are not the people, you are the past,” was the message to German critics of mass immigration on Germany’s public broadcaster ZDF’s NEO MAGAZIN ROYALE television programme.
The message was delivered in a video featuring a multi-ethnic crowd of disabled, gay and transgender people, as well as a Muslim woman wearing a face veil and a man wearing traditional Saudi headgear, all telling a crowd of Germans that they are “not Germany”.
The video opens with a crowd of angry-looking white Germans hitting against the windows of a bus to intimidate a frightened Arab child and his father, a policeman dragging the child out and hurling him to the ground. Led by the German comedian and television presenter’Jan Böhmermann, brightly dressed people rise from graves, forming a crowd to combat the beige-clad Germans who are wielding Donald Trump placards and signs reading “Refugees not welcome.”
Condemning the German crowd as “authoritarian nationalist dorks” and telling them “you are not the people, you are the past,” Böhmermann cautions that “true Germans are coming for you, you’d better run fast.”
Warning the beige-clad Germans that “10 million bicycle helmets are in sight” Böhmermann describes the lifestyle of “true Germans” to be one of cycling, recycling and eating kebab and muesli. In what is perhaps a jab at protests from senior members of Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union against pork being “quietly removed from menus” of public canteens, Böhmermann also declares that the “true Germans” eat vegan sausages.
Lambasting the crowd — which holds placards featuring politicians critical of mass immigration, such as Eurosceptic Alternative for Germany’s leader Frauke Petry, the Netherlands’ Geert Wilders and France’s Marine Le Pen — Böhmermann rejects their calls for “strong leaders, fences and walls”. He explains that this is because Germans are “liberal”, “compassionate”,“temperate” and “peaceful” as the crowd on his side — which features a dog, a woman wearing a niqab, a man wearing a Saudi Arabian headdress and an elderly white woman in a wheelchair pushed by an African man — advances on the Germans protesting against mass immigration.
Showing politicians considered to be right wing, such as Hungary’s Viktor Orbán and Russian leader Vladimir Putin, edited to be wearing Donald Trump’s hairstyle, Böhmermann warns against “maniacs with wicked hair” stating that Germany has “been there”, and that such politics resulted in Nazi Germany.
Employing similar tactics to Luke Montgomery, director of controversial left wing campaigns which feature foul-mouthed children, ZDF’s video shows a blonde child shouting profanities and yelling epithets at the beige-clad Germans.
As the young girl declares that because it’s 2016 “it is perfectly legal” for migrants to do “whatever the **** they want to do” because they are “******* human beings just like you and everyone else” the video shows the conservatively dressed Muslim man and the Jewish man smiling and shaking hands. There is also a white woman donning a purple hijab, a man dressed as a woman tearing his wig off, and even an elderly male Lutheran minister opening his robes to reveal lingerie and suspenders underneath.
As Böhmermann announces Germany is “open”, “multicultural” and “tolerant”, his crowd charges forward under a giant European Union flag shouting and hurling objects towards the white Germans, who flee as they are hit with food and books.
He lists what he says to be German values which includes “never forget”, referring to the Holocaust, and “diversity”. Bizarrely he also declares “freedom of speech” to be a German value despite the government’s policy of working with social media websites such as Facebook to censor criticism of migrants’ behaviour, and the obvious irony that the message of the video appears to be that critics of multiculturalism must be shut down.
Regardless of equipment, or radio and television usage, all residents in Germany must pay a blanket fee of €215.76 per annum which funds public broadcasters ZDF and Deutschlandradio, as well as the nine regional broadcasters of the ARD network.

The radical Islamic terrorist in the suicide vest is hiding behind them.

The radical Islamic terrorist in the suicide vest has as much claim to building 21st century Germany as any of the rest of that crowd.

Ah. But he doesn't want to build. He wants to destroy.

I would argue the same is true of the 'disabled, gay and transgender people, as well as a Muslim woman wearing a face veil and a man wearing traditional Saudi headgear'.

Isn't 'diverse culture' an oxymoron? Just askin'.

Some of us (I won't mention names) have been on the Internet for decades sharing ideas and concepts about the world around us. Most of us tell the truth and intend to describe problems and potential solutions as we have honour concerning basic principles about being free.

Thank you, Buckeroo. I haven't spent much time on here. I've been posting mostly on my Facebook account and getting on many different lists, I'm sure.
My Esophageal Cancer has returned and I'm not sure how long I can post here. I've told them to forget surgery. So, back to Radiation and Chem treatment. If things go to worse, as I've told my Pastor, at least, I won't have to put up with another election year. But, the Lord's Will will be done, of course.
Who is the good guy to vote for this year? If you can find one, let me know. I've lost my score card. Anyway, have a good night.

I wasn't aware you had an issue at all. I have been informed that most people can not repeat radiation or chemotherapy if they have already experienced it; these methods are a one shot deal and primarily based on invasive carcenogens. How many years has elapsed since your original chemo/radiation therapy?
My dead dawg Scruffy.

I think this nation is in serious trouble, and there are no contenders that would do us any good. The game seems to be rigged. I have heard it said that a people deserve the leaders they get, which might be debated, but the seriousness of our national position isn't. This might be a good time to not watch the news any longer.
