Truth Stranger than Fiction--Again?

I've read about these attacks in several online sources.  I heard about them on the radio.  Apparently, on New Year's Eve, in three or four German cities, as well as some in Finland, the Netherlands, and Belgium, hundreds of women were robbed, sexually molested/groped ("They touched us all over!"), and even raped.  More than 500 complaints were filed in Cologne alone.  And, the attackers/rapists were purportedly all "Middle Eastern men," in each of the cities.  Were city and national gov't officials trying to keep the lid on this?  I only heard of it because of protests launched over the weekend, German citizens of Leipzig engaged in large demonstrations against "refugees" and "immigrants."

Now, what is most puzzling was a statement released by a Belgian gov't official.  Belgium is going to offer classes, yes classes!, for male refugees and immigrants from the Middle East to teach them how to behave toward women in the West.  Wait a minute!!!!!!  What kind of a culture are they coming from if it is fine for men to grope, sexually assault, and rape women--whether or not women are "infidels?"  Isn't this a logical extension of the excuses made for the attacks on Charlie Hebdo?  "They're only reacting to cartoons of Muhammad, which is forbidden in their culture?"

Almost as disturbing is the virtual silence of the US LameStream media.  I haven't seen a single peep about this in either of the Detroit newspapers.  Maybe it was hiding back on page 11 or 12?  Maybe it's been reported in other newspapers.  Still, I didn't see anything here.  And this happened when--New Year's Eve!!!!!!  That's why the protest, in part, the lengthy lack of response by the German (and I suppose, Finnish, Dutch, Belgian, and who knows what other) governments.

Maybe this is all a bad dream, that none of this is true......

BTW, how did Angela Merkel receive the "Person of the Year" Award??????  Maybe the same way Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize?

An interesting editorial in a Detroit newspaper called what Establishment Republicans in Wash DC do "pragmatic."  I prefer "selling out."  The lack of action by Establishment Republicans is blamed not on their sell-out, but on "ideological newcomers," which I suppose means the Tea Partiers and others who promised they'd try to fix the massive mess in DC.  Of course, a number of the Establishment Republicans also promised they'd try to fix the massive mess in DC, but they were lying.  They merely mouthed the words in order to get elected, to defeat popular opponents making the pledge.  They had no intention of bucking the same old business as usual.  I guess I don't understand, unless we must accept that the LameStreams are in the hands, not just of Democrats, but of the Establishment.  That, I think, is to the detriment of the US and its citizens.

A great headline in the other Detroit newspaper was, "Heck of a job, Governor."  Of course, it was very facetious and was aimed at Gov Snyder's woeful efforts regarding the Flint water crisis.  Some folks claim the government's actions were/are criminal.  I won't go that far, but it does go a long way to justify criticism of big gov't--by Dems or by Reps.  Yep, those emergency managers, Governor, have really done bang up jobs!  What's that Detroit Public Schools deficit now, say, compared to when the first EM took over?  Can we keep going?  Of course we can, but it's getting late.
