This is an excellent and thoughtful essay by Alexander Maistrovoy, a Russian jewish emigre author. It examines in more detail the glaring questions raised in our short piece from Sunday, 'Refugees' Harass Women in Russian Nightclub, Are Promptly Beaten and Sent to Prison, which went viral and generated a huge number of comments. A very intelligent read. Highly recommended.
In
my correspondence regarding the events in Cologne, an editor of a
Russian newspaper asked me a natural, but discouraging question; “Where
were the German men?”, he inquired of me, perplexed.
Indeed, for
us who grew up in Soviet Russia, it would be inconceivable that some
drunk young people could publicly mock and harass girls on New Year’s
Eve in the very center of Moscow or Saint Petersburg. If they dared to
do this, they wouldn’t survive until the morning, they would become
“martyrs” and would have their way with 72 virgins in a completely
different realm.
Ethical codes, embedded in us on a genetic level,
would demand that we intervene on behalf of the women. Especially, in a
situation where normal adult men were more numerous than the rapists,
and the rapists themselves were not terrorists, cyborgs or aliens, but
mere street punks.
As it turned out in Germany, Sweden, Austria —
these codes were fatally violated. A great number of strong healthy men,
having heard the girls screaming and crying, and having seen the crimes
being committed, didn’t do anything to save the victims. In rare cases,
the girls were defended by migrants from Eastern Europe or Third World
countries.
But this is only the first question in a long line of
simple questions. We could expect that women, having learned about the
abuse of girls the next day, would be in a fury. Since there is an
inherent instinct in every normal woman to rescue a child or to protect a
girl from an abuse, rape or harassment.
Again, genetic codes didn’t work.
We
heard women blaming the victims and defending the rapists. We heard
Henriette Reker, the mayor of Cologne, who claimed that “there’s always
the possibility of keeping a certain distance of more than an arm’s
length”; Claudia Roth from the Green Party, who accused an “organized
mob” on the Internet of“calling for a hunt on non-white people”. We
learned about dozens of female journalists who concealed the truth
because the rapists were “refugees”. Feminists? We didn’t hear their
voices. As we haven’t heard their voices in Sweden, Norway and England,
where thousands of girls had long ago been turned into “white meat”.
Instead,
all we hear is a subtle mumble, like that of the expert Irmgard
Kopetzky, who states that “sexual violence is an issue for people of all
ethnic origins”.“Figures show the majority of people carrying out sex
attacks in Germany do not come from an immigrant background”, according
to her.
Andrea den Boer, from the University of Kent, sees roots
of the problem in that“the sex ratio alteration in the young adult
population looking also to be abnormal at about 114 boys of that age for
every 100 girls (SIC)”. Really?
In China, Armenia, Azerbaijan
there are also many more boys than girls. Has anyone heard about
something similar happening in Beijing, Erevan or Baku? Why, during the
revolutions in Romania, Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova, were there no
cases of gang rape of girls during demonstrations, as it happened in
Tahrir Square?
The wider Pandora’s box is opened, the more
questions arise. What about politicians? Have any of them, left or
right, called it the way they saw it? No.
“Sexual harassment is
not automatically binding to migration and immigration,” Swedish Prime
Minister Stefan Löfven told in Davos. Sure! According to the report by
Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (BRÅ) 20 years before, in
1996, the highest rates of rape convictions were for individuals born in
North Africa and Iraq. They were convicted of rape at rates of 17.5
times the native Swedish rate respectively.
We are speaking about a
commonplace situation, typical for the patriarchal Muslim world — for
Iraqis, Afghans or Somalis — where a non-Muslim woman is nothing more
than a sexual object, an easy and natural prey, a whore.
Coptic
women in Egypt are constantly subject to harassment just because they
are Christians. The Civil war in Lebanon took place not least because of
the mass rape of Christian women by Palestinians. How much more for
European women accustomed to their free dress code and not protected by
families.
If “refugees” ever dared to do the same at home — in
Algeria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia — with Muslim girls, they would
be buried alive. There are strict and oppressive laws of clan vengeance
and no one dares to harass a woman from another clan or tribe without
bearing an inevitable cruel punishment. European women have no
protection from their families or even the state, with the latter taking
the side of the perpetrator. That is why they are doomed.
Why are
western politicians paralyzed by fear? Why do only leaders of Eastern
Europe dare to tell the truth, such as: Miloš Zeman and Bohuslav
Sobotka, the President and Prime Minister of the Czech Republic,
Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor
Orbán? The issue is not about right or left ideology. Zeman, Sobotka and
Fico are Socialists. The issue is about a healthy, normal perception of
the world based on genuine European values.
Why did it occur that
they were the only leaders who could give both a courageous and
adequate response to the reality of this situation? These small
countries, squeezed between millstones of formerly great empires, having
survived Soviet despotism, now know the value of freedom and dignity.
They were vaccinated against universalist ideologies. Yet it is curious
that Czech Republic and Slovakia are the only countries that accept
genuine refugees facing a terrible fate — Christians and Yazidis from
Iraq, but not mature and aggressive young men heading to Europe for an
easy life and “white meat”.
What has happened to the world, when
men, women, politicians, and the elite betray their daughters and
children in order to please newcomers with their baser instincts and a
cult of male power?
The answer is sad — the culture of
postmodernism has managed to do what couldn’t be achieved even by the
Communist propaganda machine. It has degraded the instinct of
self-preservation, natural reactions embedded in humans on a genetic
level, the ability to feel compassion and protect a victim – a woman, a
girl, a child. An abstract ideology has suppressed the mind and senses.
I
left USSR as a hater of Soviet totalitarianism. Now I realize that the
cultural totalitarianism of political correctness has turned out to be
much more poisonous.
The Soviet regime dictated harsh rules and
established censorship. However people remained normal human beings.
They laughed at authorities, composed jokes about Brezhnev, made
satirical films in spite of the censorship, and learned to read
newspapers between the lines. This primarily referred to the
intelligentsia.
Cultural totalitarianism succeeded much more. It
affirmed a relentless self-censorship, turned people into sterile
zombies, and exterminated basic senses of responsibility and dignity. It
changed the very nature of man, and indeed, it was a unique experiment
on their own people.
… There is a small carnivorous animal in
Siberia – a stoat. It hunts rabbits and hares, which are significantly
heavier, faster and stronger. It doesn’t creep, doesn’t sit in ambush
and doesn’t catch its prey on the run. It performs a hypnotic dance of
death in front of it — with wriggles, acrobatic leaps and somersaults.
The stoat dazzles the prey and, gradually approaching it, then it grabs
its throat. The rabbit dies from shock. Why does the prey allow the
stoat to dazzle and kill it without resisting? Biologists are unable to
solve the riddle of the stoat’s hypnotic dance.
Western elites
have foredoomed their own people by means of somersaults and acrobatic
tricks with the same fate of the unfortunate rabbit.
The hypnotic dance of death is gaining momentum…
The media is instigating a race war on the behest of communist in the Democratic Party. One has to ask who's racist?
Why do the state and local governments confiscate the assets of citizens but refuse to do so for illegal invaders?
Trump needs to stop that. Change the formula to subtract funding based on how many children are enrolled in government schools without proof of citizenship.
100 years ago they came here to work and build America, now they come here with a hand out, demanding the benefits that America offers without contribution.
