Tensions Rise in Germany Over Handling of Mass Sexual Assaults in Cologne
The Guardian reports:
A ferocious debate has erupted in Germany over the handling of mass sexual assaults and muggings carried out by groups of young males during New Year's Eve celebrations in Cologne, amid accusations of a police and media cover-up over fears of whipping up anti-foreigner sentiment in the wake of the migrant crisis.
About 100 complaints have now been made to police, two-thirds of which are linked to sexual assault, including two rapes. According to police and witnesses, the perpetrators were of north African and Arab appearance, although neither the identity nor origin of any of them has so far been established.
If you're not already feeling queasy enough be sure to read the link "Asian sex-grooming gangs in the UK" in the article. Apparently you can find similar stories from all over the UK, these sexual crimes against underage girls perpetrated by muslims are sickeningly common.
Conspiracy of Silence - or Sensationalist Reporting?
There are a number of marginal news sites posting stories out of Europe these days, mostly from Germany, Sweden, as well as other claims made regarding Finland and the UK. The claims all center around a huge increase in rapes by immigrants, outright take over of public train stations, and mass groping of women passing through the stations.
According to these reports, the incidents started in midsummer and continue to this day, but the local news organizations have refused to publish reports of these incidents even after arrests have been made. Often police are accused of withholding the news of any complaints or arrests for months.
The clear implication, more often implied than stated is that the national leaders who went public in their pledges to accept refugees from the middle east war zones as well as northern Africa are leaning on main stream news outlets to suppress news reports of these rapes and sexual assaults. This suppression, if it exists, also appears to extend to the US press.
The assaults aren't limited to European women, but also include women in the immigrant shelters, some as young as 16. The immigrant shelters population in Munich is 80% male. But not all the alleged perpetrators are migrants from the recent wave of mass migrations over the summer and fall. Some are earlier immigrants from North Africa who don't necessarily live in the camps.
Finally some reports are leaking into the western press in the US, such as this brief report in the New York Times about events on New Years Eve. That same event was reported by a couple of the British tabloids.
Many reports are in German, Here and Here. (Google Translate does well with these pages). Others are in English such as this one and this one.
Are any Soylentils living in the EU near refugee centers seeing these problems? Is it being reported? Is it being repressed? Or is the whole thing a made up issue by biased articles in fringe news sites?

Reputable sites have reported on this stuff, but not so much in English. The reports about the rape problems in Sweden are based on government reports and statistics. The summary in Wikipedia is brief but informative [wikipedia.org]. This is also the primary topic on the "talk" page that accompanies the article.
Regarding the latest incident in Köln: Around 1000 young men were wandering around in groups, surrounding women, groping them, and often robbing them while they were trying to defend themselves. Given that well over 100 women filed criminal complaints with the police, there is zero doubt that this happened. The news sites have even been entirely clear that the men involved were from "North Africa and the Middle East".
However, even the German news sites have suppressed the fact that a substantial proportion of these men were Syrian refugees recently admitted to the country. This goes entirely against the politics of welcoming the arrival of hundreds of thousands of Syrians. The information only emerged after someone got hold of an internal police report that had been suppressed. It just hit an English language site a few hours ago. [dw.com]
You know, if the immigrants want to be accepted, they could control their own people. Within the immigrant groups, make sure that someone keeps an eye on the trouble makers. This would help the rest of us believe that they actually care about integrating themselves into the West. But, no. Guess what happened instead? As a reaction to the attacks in Köln, "leading musmlims demand resignations" [www.welt.de], because it's all the fault of the police. And Lamya Kaddor, a Syrian scholar, states "the supposed ethnic or religious background of the attackers is not relevant" (article in German; those are my rough translations). Deny reality, deny responsibility, blame someone else. This is not how to win friends for the muslim community.
Everyone is somebody else's weirdo.

One missing piece of the puzzle is that you don't know the long history of Islam. [youtube.com] This is continuation of a war that will never end until everyone is Muslim, called Jihad. They don't want to integrate with you, they want to replace you via Hijrah [frontpagemag.com]
The other missing piece of the puzzle is that Zionists and their puppets want to pit their enemies against each other: [pastebin.com] the Muslims vs Euopean peoples, and they are doing this via pushing the migrant narrative. Read those links from said Zionists, and see for yourself.
The media is owned by the same people pushing the pro-immigration narrative. That's why it was suppressed. Time to wake up and smell the roses.
If I tell you that rich elites own all the media and centralized banking and are manipulating society for their benefit alone, people agree. If I tell you who those people are, people call me a racist Nazi. Fuck it, the name calling has lost its power. The truth is evident in the facts and actions like you see today. The little leftist man who is duped by the Globalists / Multiculturalists into suicidal political plays won't be able to ignore reality for too much longer. The end game is the genocide of European peoples, and some of us will not go quietly into the night.
This is why Poland has become so right wing. This is why Golden Dawn is rising in Greece. Once you wake up and accept the facts of your world everything starts to make sense.

Not a good idea as conscription ignores religion. And taxes go up. And tons of other things that will directly affect your quality of life.

If they can migrate to Europe, I can migrate out to Canada, Thailand, England, or somewhere else.

Maybe what is needed is some basic undercover police work. And then start deportations of people involved.
There is also different cultural norms here. Anyone coming over should get a pamphlet on how to behave per local customs. Yes, a lot of this behaviour can be eliminated through simple education. But for the real criminals and rapists, deportation.

You know, that's actually what I find totally puzzling about the whole incident. In general 2 can't keep a secret, and here were talking about a thousand offenders? Even if you believe the very worst of immigrants, it's kind of hard to believe that this could have been planned, and nobody with a bit of sense (or a wife) heard of the plans and blew the whistle. But in fact it's similarly hard to believe this could have been essentially a spontaneous group thing, either.
I really don't get it. The police are to blame for desastrous communication the days after the incident, but I don't blame them for not being prepared for anything like this to happen.

Mass provocation only takes a few well trained and well paid stooges. It doesn't always work, but sometimes it works beautifully. Case in point.
