Update December 14th: More demonstrations expected tomorrow, here.
Invasion of Europe breaking news….
“Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West” marched in Dresden earlier this week.
A day after the Obama Administration announced it is “welcoming”9,000 Syrian Muslims to the US, Germans are expressing their anger loud and clear about the influx of Muslim asylum seekers. Germany is planning to take up to 20,000 Syrians in the coming months. Demonstrations of this size must be shaking up the European Union. In October it was Cologne.
BERLIN/NUREMBERG (Reuters) – Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday condemned anti-Muslim demonstrations centered on the eastern city of Dresden, saying there was “no place in Germany” for hatred of Muslims or any other minority.
In a speech at a party congress of her Bavarian allies in Nuremberg, Merkel also denounced an attack on buildings in a nearby town being turned into refuge for asylum-seekers. The structures were set on fire and daubed with swastikas.
“It is unbearable when homes of asylum-seekers are defiled, when people try to make radical slogans,” Merkel said, adding that everyone coming to Germany had the right to be treated decently.
Earlier on Friday, Merkel’s spokeswoman Christiane Wirtz said: “In the name of the government and the chancellor I can say quite clearly that there is no place in Germany for religious hatred, no matter which religion people belong to.”
“There is no place for Islamophobia, anti-Semitism or any form of xenophobia or racism,” Wirtz said of the growing Monday evening marches in Dresden under the motto PEGIDA, standing for “Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West”.

The latest PEGIDA march on Monday drew up to 10,000 people and almost as many counter-demonstrators. The organizers, who began two months ago with a few hundred people, say they are not against immigrants but want to protest against Islamic extremism and the influx of asylum-seekers.
Update January 2, 2015:Hereis where 164 of them have gone so far in the last couple of months.
Yesterday we learned that the Obama Administration committed the United Statesto take 9,000 Syrian (mostly Muslim) refugeesin FY 2015 which is already two months underway, and place them throughout America at some of their 180 cities where federal contractors are waiting to sign them up for social services, give them employment counseling, take care of their health needs and sign the children up for school.
Here is a mapof where they could be placed. Is your city on it?
See the legend on the right hand side of the map. Those are the initials for the nine major contractors:
What you should do isgo to this list of federal refugee contractors (listed by city) and call them. And, by the way, don’t assume that if your city doesn’t have a colored dot you are off the hook. They can place them within a hundred miles of a contractor’s office. When you call, ask how many Syrians are coming to your town? Then contact your local newspaper, your local elected officials and your representatives in Washington and let them know what you think!
Direct your ire at refuge contractors and elected officials at all levels of government, not at the refugees who are only taking advantage of a good deal.
Please send us anything you learn and send links to news stories about their arrival.
Update December 12th: There are two other news accounts of this story you should see. First, at Investor’s Business Daily: “US Vetting 9,000 Syrian Refugees To Weed Out Jihadists Before Granting Asylum.” And, at World Net Daily: “U.N. sending thousands of Muslims to America.” As of right now there are 975 comments to the WND article.
Anne Richard, Asst. Secretary of State went to that UN meeting in Geneva this week (we mentioned the “pledging conference” here) and dropped the bomb. The UN has picked our Syrians for us, and if the war ended tomorrow, you can be sure that once the pipeline is flowing it won’t stop for years! Security is a big concern and apparently the reason for the delay, but we are taking them anyway!
Anne Richard Asst. Sec. of State for Population, Refugees and Migration: We take the refugees the UN picks for us.
The U.S. government intends to dramatically accelerate efforts to resettle refugees from the Syrian civil war and is preparing for a “surge” of thousands in each of the next few years, State Department officials announced this week.
[….]
They have some catching up to do: The United States has so far accepted only 300 of the more than 3.2 million refugees who have fled Syria since the war began almost four years ago.
The United States is the world leader in refugee resettlement, accepting 70,000 displaced people a year, more than all other countries combined.
[….]
But the U.S. has come under criticism from aid groups for its pace in taking in refugees from the Syrian war, which is by far the largest refugee crisis of recent years.
[….]
U.S. officials say the resettlement program has moved slowly because the United Nations refugee agency, which they look to for referrals, didn’t begin making recommendations until late last year. And the United States takes 18 to 24 months on average to carefully vet each applicant to make sure he or she poses no security risk.
In this next section note that we will take those “persecuted by their government.” Christians are not persecuted by the government in Syria, but the Sunni Muslims are. There is no doubt the majority of Syrians to be admitted to the US will be Muslims because it would be unlikely there would be a “security risk” with the Christians.
The State Department will resettle only the small minority who are in the most dire need, including the very young, ailing and elderly, and people who have been persecuted by their government. Even so, applicants have to be screened by counter-terrorism agencies, the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security in a process that is more selective than what is used for anyone else who wants to enter the United States.
[….]
The screening has become more rigorous since 2009, when authorities were alarmed to discover that two members of Al Qaeda had entered the country posing as Iraqi refugees.That concern has been sharpened by worries that fighters from the Islamic State militant group may try to enter the United States, refugee advocates said.
On Tuesday, Anne C. Richard, assistant secretary of State for population, refugees and migration, said at a U.N. meeting in Geneva that the Obama administration was going to step up its efforts because the refugee outflow had swelled “to a mass exodus.”
She said that the department is considering 9,000 resettlement applications and that “we expect admissions from Syria to surge in 2015 and beyond.”[Surge beyond 9,000? Most likely as the contractors*** are agitating for at least 15,000!—ed]
[….]
At the Geneva meeting, 28 countries agreed to take in 66,000 refugees. But that was far short of the 300,000 Syrians that officials at the U.N. refugee agency believe need to be resettled.
Everyone reading this page from an already over-loaded resettlement city (or a prospective new one!), must contact your Member of Congress or US Senators and speak up NOW! The chickens probably won’t listen, but give them an earful anyway!
***Contractors lobbying for Syrians to add to their collection:
Every “welcoming” community that is either in bed now with the federal refugee resettlement program or contemplating snuggling up, should pay close attention! Your state and local taxpayers are on the hook for interpreters every time an immigrant has a problem—in the school system, the health department and in the criminal justice system, most anywhere! Just yesterday we wrote about Yer and Zitor was it Zar and Yar in Denver who need a Burmese interpreter to face the court on possible homicide charges. Who do you think pays for that—you do (not Washington)!
Gatsas had previously ordered the Obama Dept. of Education Civil Rights Office to clear out for making inflammatory claims. I’m guessing they hold a grudge.
I do feel sorry for Manchester because whenever they first got into the refugee welcoming business they were either snookered or not told a thing about it until the refugees arrived. Mayor Gatsas, to his great credit, has tried to slow the flow to the over-loaded city, but it may be too late—they already have 81 languages spoken in the school district!
Here is the latest from the Union Leader (hat tip: Paul). No Dinka interpreter, sorry Manchester, that violent student is all yours!
MANCHESTER — District officials entered into an agreement with the federal Office for Civil Rights to return a student to school who had been slated for an expulsion hearing for assaulting another student.
The move has drawn strong criticism from at least two members of the school board’s Conduct Committee, which had voted unanimously to hold an expedited expulsion hearing for the student.
“The committee was blind-sided. This action does not support safety in our schools,” Ward 2 board member Debra Gagnon Langton, longtime chairman of the Conduct Committee, said at a Nov. 24 meeting. “I really think we need to vote on this. This is a violation of the public trust.”
Superintendent Debra Livingston replied that any discussion of the matter should take place in nonpublic session since it involved student privacy.
The complaint rests on the allegation that the district did not provide a Dinka interpreter to communicate to the student or his parents concerning his suspension.
Dinka is spoken by people from South Sudan.
[….]
As for the issue of language interpreters in the schools, Livingston said, “There are 81 languages spoken in the district. It’s very difficult to find someone who can translate all documents. What we’re trying to do is provide translation to as many students as possible.”
[….]
This isn’t the first time the district has drawn the attention of the OCR. Earlier this year, the civil rights agency entered an agreement with the district under which it would take concrete steps to boost the enrollment of black and Hispanic students in advanced high school courses. [Whether they deserve to be in those classes or not?—ed]
In August 2012, Mayor Ted Gatsas asked local representatives of the OCR to leave the City Hall chamber during a presentation in which they claimed that discrimination was a problem for minority students in the district. Gatsas accused the group of making unfounded and inflammatory claims.
We have a huge archive on Manchester, NH, click hereto read the sad tale of an overloaded city trying to extricate itself from the feds and the entrenched contractors.
Remember that kerfuffle over the summer regarding nearby Dover, NH. That was about spreading some of Manchester’s overload to surrounding small towns and cities. Dover temporarily dodged a bullet when a public outcry erupted.
Where is Mark Steyn? Wouldn’t he have fun with the idea of a school district having to have a ‘Dinka man’ on call?
Seems they are Burmese refugees arrested on a possible homicide charge, but there is so little news on the arrest that happened last week, that we think there must be more to the story. The victim is believed to be an Asian and we know that the court has to find a Burmese interpreter, and that is about all we know.
Back in 2009 we learned about Burmese and Bhutanese resettlement in Denver when the refugees were regularly being attacked by thugs after being placed in low-income neighborhoods. http://www.denverpost.com/ci_14053322
If you see more on the case, please let us know.
Here is a local Denver blog referencing the case. Westword (hat tip ‘pungentpeppers’):
Thus far, authorities have been stingy with information about a homicide that took place late this past Thursday night. The victim has yet to be identified, and while two men — Zar Yar and Yer Zit — have reportedly been arrested in connection with the crime, no photos or additional details have been shared. Here’s what we know thus far.Thus far, authorities have been stingy with information about a homicide that took place late this past Thursday night.

[….]
….. law enforcers weren’t sure if a crime had been committed. But yesterday, CBS4 divulged that Zar Yar and Yer Zit had been taken into custody in relation to the death, which it defined as a homicide.
Nothing more about the suspects has surfaced beyond the station’s revelation that an advisement in the case had been put off until today to allow the court to find a “Burmese interpreter.”
We know a lot of Burmese of all sorts (and Bhutanese) have been resettled in Denver. Reporters should check the resettlement contractors there for more on Yar and Zit.
Also, keep in mind that taxpayers in “welcoming” communities must pay for interpreters for refugees facing legal charges.
Here is some contact information for resettlement contractors in Denver. Somebody knows Yar and Zit. Why there are two offices for the Lutherans is beyond me, but keep in mind this is the same Lutheran outfit wanting to set up shop in Wyoming, here.
