Hello and a great morning to all of my Manhood Ball Recovering Brothers
“We all know the saying honesty is always the best policy” right? And that saying is usually impressed upon us as children to tell the truth no matter what, with one exception, our relationships within ourselves IE: we know beyond any shadow of any doubt that the massive land whale next to us face has been hit with the ugly axe just about one to many times, and all that caked on frosting called make up is not going to enhance anything on this beast except to draw attention to the mountainous mounds of flesh inbetween her ears called cheeks, and honestly you do not find anything about her attractive, but still we will tell ourselves that we dont want to hurt her feelings and in that moment we will undoubtably try to find something to say to her after we heave our guts out noticing that there is a french fry, thats probably a few weeks old, protruding out from the fleshy flabs of skin near her arm pit.
Again if you have a fetish for that kind of woman , more power to you, cause you gonna need all you can get to feed and fill the belly of that beast.
Both of the women I married were land whales, the first one not really when i met her , but by the time I left her she was 5’2″ bordering on 300 pounds, the second about four inches taller and 300+ pounds, there was always that 18 pounds that was constantly leaving then coming back, like she had a baby and didnt realize it everytime she stood on a scale. And in the minds of these “people” ( loosely used term), their weight gain was always my fault. I would constantly hear “why in the hell do you like candy so much, you know it only tempts me into EATING it”. So what do i do , I accommodated their fantasy and stopped bringing sweets
into the home. My 132 pound body could stand to loose a few pounds anyways right? So no more sweets, maybe that will help her dieting efforts, when the truth was if the bitch wouldve stopped downing gallons of ice cream before going to bed, or secretly in the middle of the night, she may have deflated down to a reasonable and attractive size, but instead I suffered, sacrificed, gave up for “her” cause. I wasnt being very honest or helpful with myself.
After my stint with being an EMT I decided I wanted to go and tryout 18 wheeler driving. Drove across the nation to Ohio and attended another school in which a person was schooled in the art of big rig driving. Within a month and you were on the road moving 80,000 pounds of freight back and forth across this nation one load at a time. I loved it, I traveled and saw most the states in the lower 48 including our nations capitol, “its this whole other country” . Something I had always wanted to go and take a peek at. I did that job for 6 months until my team driver decided he wanted to go solo, I was left without another driver and my kids were on the west coast and the company wanted to keep me on the east coast doing dedicated routes. I took their truck back to them and promptly returned home.
The bitch had been going to school to become an EKG technician, and i was fine with that , she would finally be able to help out with the expenses that up until that point had been left to me and her mother( thats another story for another time).
A month before i had left for Ohio I had gotten myself fixed, I had determined that I didnt want any more kids and was satisfied with my own decision and had it done despite the noisy protests from the bitching mouth.
Men make no mistake about this that is certain states a woman can destroy your unborn babies, get their tubes tied and cut with or without your permission, but you do not have those same rights, California laws require both partners to be in agreement before a man can decide to not have any more children if thats what he desires.
Back on topic sorry bout that. After I returned home I and the Bitch went to pick up our children from school, I decided to go down a certain raod that wouldve cut three miles off of the trip back home, but the Bitch literally asked me why i was going down the street I had chozen which was a route I had used many times previously before leaving to Ohio. I asked her why not take this street? Her reply was that that street went into a part of town she didnt want to be seen in since she was going to class now. But that just didnt make sense, so despite her I took the sensible route.
My trust in the bitch and my naivity prevented me from going into details as to the real reason why she didn’t want to be “seen with me”.
I would not understand that incident until after I left her.
Shortly after that incident the Bitch said she wanted to go and do studying with a fellow Male class mate, and when I protested she explained that he was gay and i had nothing to worry about, they were just going to study EKG s~~~. His name she said at the time was Arthur, no biggy until after we seperated she immediately had a new love interest whos name happened to be Art!!!!
My Manly Ball Recovering Friends throughout that relationship I had clues, there were tell tale signs, for instance, when she called me and asked me if I had had sex with anyone outside of her because her eye doctor was concerned for the clamidia he found in a viral test from her eyes. My immediate response was the truth, absolutely not, no way, why would I, I wouldn’t be unfaithful and havent been. But some how that STD got into her eye b~~~~, but my brain wouldn’t allow me to go where it naturally wanted to go, and accuse her. One of the many sayings thats true is hind sight is 20/20, but I think it is more 20/15, because things become more than just clear they become obviously, heinously, painfully clear.
I trusted her and in my denial tunnel vision, “my vagina” vision, I never considered that she would ever cheat on me, would never try to fond someone else to bed down with, based on this fallacy , that I would never cheat on her. Sometimes the truth is harder to bear then a fantasy, but in reality we must face it, draw away our own beliefs and consider this honest statement “anyone is capable of doing anything with everyone”, and here is the obvious things to observe, she tosses your hand off of her when you want sex, you go months without sex, she moves her mother in with you for moths on end, and continuously denys you sex based on the possiblity that her mother might hear you, or walk in on you. In your arguments she tells you exactly what and who she wants to have sex with, Big black man, another woman, your best friend, or she shoudve been born gay. These are indeed things she is using to hurt me , but they are truths about things she has already done or is planning on doing.
Even writing this stuff still hurts and draws emotions out of me that I have never shared before, not because of the truth of it all, or even her intent. What hurts me is the investment of my energy, time and finances the emotional abuses I put up with, the loss of my most treasured precious things on this planet, my relationship with my children, and sometimes facing that can be soo hard to do , but if i am to be honest with myself, the truth sits as it is, where it is and nothing anyone can do today will change any of those facts or undo the pain associated with those facts. So we either except those facts and move on or stay drenched in our woes.
But as I put clarity in the same basket with honesty, I understand this one thing, that although what was presented to me, was nothing but falsehood after falsehood one right after the other, was i supposed to have the gift of readiing the stupid bitches mind, was it my fault, this bitch and piece of trash could not be honest with me or with herself?
Was it my fault that she couldnt and didnt remain faithful…….. If I am to cling to “the best of policies” then the honest truth must win out every time.
Living with in a lie will only perpetuate that lie until you have deceived yourself into a state of such delusion that you cannot tell the difference between either.
I dont think that any man in this forum who has bitten at the bait of marriage ever goes into it thinking that within a few years Im going to divorce the nasty land whale bitch this person will eventually become.
The red pills efects force us into intraspection, to honestly look at how the things we missed sent us spiraling downward into the life sucking abyss called marriage, and male female relationships for us as men!
My young men MGTOW if i were you looking at all the destruction, dissatisfaction , and mental , emotional abuses that us older men have endured by the females of our species, I to would run away from this stinky pile of s~~~ and do just as you smart young men are doing. As raw and hard as this gets to express to you , it is not done for your entertainment, it is to do as the older men days long since passed would do with their youth, teach and instruct, so that you will become much stronger and better prepared for the life ahead of you, so our mistakes and trageties will not continue to be repeated, over and over and over again, these things, favors, nuggets of wisdom and knowledge we have aquired through our labors, trials, experiences and errors we share with you for the benefit of and to your sons for generations that follow you , if you and they make it that far !!!!Sincerely : Steve
Topic: Pussification
An almost 50-yo post-wall acquaintance of mine who is in the final stages of killing off her 3rd marriage spent the majority of last fall giving any of us brave enough (or interested enough) the blow-by-blow of sending her last child, a son, off to college.
Shopping for stuff for his dorm room….. Moving him….. Attending freshman orientation with him…. Taking a week’s worth of food to him every weekend…. And spending every weekend with him….. And going to college town and demanding school officials do something when he had roommate problems….
Bragging to me, I told her I wasn’t impressed in the least and that it was time for her to back out and time for him to man up and start living on his own and that as long as mommy is there to fight his battles, he’d remain hopelessly dependent (which is most likely the overall plan). That sent her into orbit but not as much as when I sent her a pair of scissors for Christmas and a nice card indicating that they are the perfect tool for cutting apron strings. She didn’t use them for that, but it did get me off her friends list on social media such that I care.
The new semester started last week. The son has moved back home, washed out after one semester. Not working, not looking for work and free to spend every waking hour with mommy who attends to his every need.
Guess women today are not content to merely wreck the lives of husbands, boyfriends and side c~~~s.
Topic: Follow up: a new life.
Now that I finally have some time to myself….
Hello everyone and happy new year!! I don’t know how to start …. but as the title suggests, I am living a new life..an independent life.. a mgtow life. And all thanks to this place..and this place only.
If you had asked a year earlier: “Do you plan to move out of your parents’ home soon?” I would have never replied… the thought of moving out scared me… as it scared almost everybody. To add to my troubles, I was really lacking self-confidence.
But being with you guys for a year has changed me. It helped me grow up…and like really ‘become a man’.
People always keep telling you to be a man, grow up….but how many of them do actually help you become one? Nada.
This place is like a true shine… turning boys into men…men that can face the world..and not some scared pussy-panderer or blue-pilled schmucks.
I’d have never got the job hadn’t I got my self-confidence back. And you guys helped me gain it back.
When I went to the interview, I had doubts..lots of it. I was like, “Am I really ready for this?” A typical me would have said no. Am I out of my mind? Leaving the comforts of my home to work 9 hours at a place for an average salary?
But I had your voices ringing in my ears…particularly Old Bill’s words: “I was working removing nuclear wastes when I was 21! If I can do it, why can’t you?”
Now its been a week since my joining..and yesterday I got my photo taken in a fine dress because they want their Best Employee of the month to look good. 🙂 I have Mr. Stealthy to thank for that. “Don’t follow the 9-5 schedule. Just focus and build it.”
I did build it. I think I earned this moment. All thanks to you guys.
My success might be insignificant in your lives, or anyone’s for that matter… but I tell my story just to illustrate how the seemingly bigoted racist sexist group called mgtow can change the life of a fatherless boy.
Thank you to each and everyone. Special thanks to old bill, stealthy, jan, sidecar, hitman, Dyd, etd, old sage, joller and some I can’t remember the names of.
A big hearty thanks to keymaster for making this place. I just wish you could have been sitting in an interview chair on national tv, telling your success story of how your product touched people’s lives and changed them for the better, but I think you won’t really like that, would you?
I’ll be infrequent. Work has taken a toll on my body. But I’ll always keep you guys in my mind, and I know that whatever challenge I face.. I will pass with flying colors.
Because I am a MAN, and I’m f~~~ing proud of it.
Peace.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Part I – Perspectives
Between 1939 and 1945, the US State Department and the Council on Foreign Relations developed a post-WWII economic plan – dominating a vast swath of the globe that came to be known as the “Grand Area” – comprising the Western Hemisphere, including the former British Empire, and much of the commercial and industrial centre of Europe as possible. Within this region, the United States was to hold unquestioned power with military and economic supremacy, while ensuring the limitation of any exercise of sovereignty by states that might interfere with these global designs. Far from a Pentagon pipedream, the “Grand Area” became and still is, concrete U.S. foreign policy, and its effects form the basis of modern-day Europe, although the capacity to implement these policies has been significantly diminished.
As Professor Noam Chomsky and other historians have observed, Washington’s plans to dominate the “Grand Area” led directly to a multitude of wars, proxy wars and later to the start of a Middle-East crises (which are for another post). Crucial was the development of an International Monetary Fund, which was intended for and continues to disrupt global economies for the benefit of the US dollar, the US based multinational corporations and the US military-industrial complex. There needed to be a balance of both military and economic structures within the Grand Design –one without the other would not exist for long. (By the way, it is not by chance that the EU is run by Germany and the IMF by France; this divide is implicit in promises made to both Germany and France post-war).
World War II was very beneficial for the U.S. economy. Industrial production virtually quadrupled, wartime spending ended the 1930’s Depression, which had not been ended before — and an enormous stimulus to the economy by the issue of fiat currency. As industrial expansion and population growth exceeded inflation the depreciation of the currency through printing was not readily felt. The technologies that were developed laid the bases for post-war economic growth. To enable confidence in the US dollar and enable international trade using a single currency – a partial gold standard was agreed at the Bretton Woods Conference, New Hampshire in July 1944.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF), the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), which today are part of the World Bank Group were (not coincidentally) born at the same time. (The IMF prints Special Drawings Rights or SDR’s termed by Rickards as ‘World Money’ – which can be created as needed to insure stable growth of international reserves. If SDR’s replace the US dollar as Reserve assets in world central banks, the U.S. dollar will lose Reserve status. SDR makes the IMF an International Central Bank.)
The United States, which controlled two thirds of the world’s gold, insisted that the Bretton Woods system rest on both gold and the US dollar. This meant that other countries would peg their currencies to the U.S. dollar, and—once convertibility was restored—would buy and sell U.S. dollars to keep market exchange rates within plus or minus 1% of parity. Thus, the U.S. dollar took over the role that gold had played under the gold standard in the international financial system. Although gold was still the basis for the system actual transactions would be conducted in U.S. dollars. The U.S. blueprint for international access to liquidity was to be policed by the new IMF.
The U.S. dollar now provided economic backing as the de-facto world reserve currency for trade settlements sanctioned under the new IMF regulations. (A little known fact is that the United States is the only country with veto power in the IMF with 15% of voting rights. This veto power will be given to the BRICS nations in 2017). It was then easier for Western Europe and Japan to facilitate trade with a monetary unit that was backed by gold, in-use globally and guaranteed by one of the two greatest military powers at the time. At the same time these countries were ‘protected’ as long as they paid the necessary political and economic tribute to Washington, never mind the partial sovereignty that was the necessary by-product of such a deal.
Once freedom of economic choice was quashed – willing or not – there was no practical escape from the enforced hegemony without running foul of the IMF. This meant that a steady supply of US dollars needed to be bought from the US Treasury by countries to effect trade and enabled the United States to sell its debt via dollars through the exchange mechanism while keeping the gold safe – or so it seemed at the time. In times of growth, the United States would use these countries to absorb inflation and conversely during periods of decline as a cushion against deflation. A conditional that did not sit well with participants traded with but were forced to accept the terms as part of post-war assistance.
On the 21st September 1949 The People’s Republic of China came into being. China was considered an asset that was ‘lost’ to the Western power structure of the day. This seemingly unrelated action halfway across the world will have major implications later, on the balance of global economic power.
The design of the Bretton Woods System was that nations could only enforce gold convertibility on the anchor currency—the United States’ dollar. Gold convertibility enforcement was not required, but instead, allowed. Nations could forgo converting dollars to gold, and instead hold dollars. Rather than full convertibility, it provided a fixed price for sales between central banks. However, there was still an open gold market. For the Bretton Woods system to remain workable, it would either have to alter the peg of the dollar to gold, or it would have to maintain the free market price for gold near the $35 per ounce value.
The greater the gap between free market gold prices and central bank gold prices, the greater the temptation to deal with internal economic issues by buying gold at the Bretton Woods price and selling it on the open market. This control was effected on the open market by the London Gold Pool on behalf of the U.S. Treasury.
Under the “London Gold Pool” arrangement, member banks provided a quota of gold into a central pool, with the Federal Reserve matching the combined contributions on a one to one basis. During a time of rising prices, the Bank of England, the agent, could draw on the gold from the pool and sell into the market to cap or lower prices. This was basically an illegal price suppression scheme of gold on the free market.
The United States set up the European Recovery Program (Marshall Plan) to provide large-scale financial and economic aid for rebuilding Europe largely through grants rather than loans. This included countries belonging to the Soviet bloc, e.g., Poland. Multinationals and global aid which originated from the US burgeoned.
From 1947 until 1958, the U.S. deliberately encouraged an outflow of dollars, and, from 1950 on, the United States ran a balance of payments deficit with the intent of providing liquidity for the international economy. Holding dollars became more valuable than gold because constant U.S. balance of payments deficits helped to keep the system liquid and fuel economic growth. From 1948 to 1954 the United States provided 16 Western European countries with USD $17 billion in grants. However it is to be understood that this system was in the U.S.’s interest in keeping economic competition under currency controls. It did not work as expected. Incurring such payment deficits also meant that, over time, the deficits would erode confidence in the dollar as the reserve currency created instability.
During the next thirty years, most Western European countries took full advantage of the redemption of US dollars for gold at the US Treasury.
Just like any other empire, the US dollar was an easy way for vassal states to replenish gold supplies. Gold was pegged at USD $36 an ounce – which was mildly inflationary at the time. It was also illegal for US citizens to own gold – which enabled the US Treasury a full monopoly of the metal domestically. As countries could possibly revert to trade via gold or handle balance of payments through gold, there was a rush for everyone to get their hot little hands on as much US gold as possible while the going was good.
Between 1944 and 1971 the United States’ gold reserves dwindled from 20,200 tonnes to 8133 tonnes as a result of gold repatriation and the price fix at the London Gold Pool and there a real danger of losing all Treasury gold within the next decade. In the first six months of 1971, gold assets of $22 billion fled the U.S. It can be seen that most of this gold above 8000 tonnes was accumulated during US interdiction in the European Theater of WWII.
http://www.24hgold.com/24hpmdata/articles/img/20130219ELS100.jpg

Gold’s price spiked in response to events such as the Cuban Missile Crisis, and other smaller events, to as high as $40/ounce. The Kennedy administration drafted a radical change of the tax system to spur more production capacity and thus encourage exports. This culminated with the 1963 tax cut program, designed to maintain the $35 peg with more gold infusion. The London Gold Pool was unsustainable as it was required to cap gold prices that would otherwise rise in the free market. Over 3,000 tons were lost by the US in the price suppression scheme..
This was unacceptable to the Federal Reserve – which actually owned the 8000 plus tonnes left with the US Treasury – not to say anything about how the economy would fare. (This gold is – by the way – the reason why the Federal Reserve, despite massive currency printing – is still solvent. Gold is still the real ‘shadow’ monetary base of the United States).
It was now apparent that the experiment to control world monetary policy through a pseudo-gold standard through Bretton-Woods had failed. It was not possible to artificially depress the gold price while gold was acting as an independent store of value set by world markets.
On 15 August 1971, Nixon issued Executive Order 11615 pursuant to the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970. He unilaterally did what a few good men knew to be a harbinger of death for the US dollar. Nixon declared the United States of America a non-participant of the Bretton Woods agreement of 1944. The US was off the gold standard – and so was every other country that was tied to the US dollar through Breton Woods, trade and investments. Just like that – a world fiat reserve currency and trade system were born. Almost immediately gold began its climb to a true market value of USD $850 from $41 within 7 years.

Bretton Woods had all of the world currencies pegged to the dollar and the dollar then pegged directly to gold. If the U.S. was running massive trade deficits, they could – in theory – just adjust the value of the currencies with respect to the dollar, and those deficits would disappear.
However, because of pegging to the dollar, this just would not work. To adjust the relative value of the dollar, you’d have to convince every other country in the world to adjust their currency at the same time to retain parity between all member nations, and this would not happen as it would de-stabilise international trade and possibly wipe out financial assets of other countries. (Something the EU and ECB would realise 40 years on).
Adjusting the value of the dollar with respect to gold would also not work since every other currency was pegged to the dollar and not to the value of gold.
Bretton Woods could have been salvaged if all currencies individually floated to gold traded freely in the marketplace, with the US Treasury very rich indeed at this point – and there would have been no need for repatriation. In hindsight we may wonder how this alternative escaped mention or implementation.
In fact – it had been proposed and rejected, for two reasons. Firstly, this would be then the end of US economic hegemony. Secondly, the economists at that time running Washington and Europe were from the Keynesian School of Economics – they had as much use for gold as MGTOW for females. This was a perfect opportunity to convert the unbelievers.
However in 1971 most countries could find an alternative rather than financing US debt through the buying of worthless fiat currency paper bills. It was also not clear if a revision to the Bretton Woods would be ratified. As monetary value is a confidence game – there needed to be an imperative for countries to continue use of the dollar. By the mid-1960s, the E.E.C. and Japan had become international economic powers. With total reserves exceeding those of the U.S., higher levels of growth and trade, and per capita income approaching that of the U.S., Europe and Japan were narrowing the gap between themselves and the United States and did not need the dollar.
The following is a comparison of the Dow to Gold. This is value of the Dow Jones Industrial Index (based on the currency in use) divided by the Gold Price. Note the stock market crashes, especially after Bretton Woods between 1973 – 1975 CE. Compare how the price of stocks revert close to the market gold price during crises periods. No matter the shorter term gains through other means – the intrinsic value of any market in the longer term is pegged naturally to the gold available to underwrite that market.
As the only real money – gold acts as the final arbiter of the stock market. The real value of any country’s wealth is in the amount of physical gold it holds in reserve.

There was an ongoing Cold War in Europe, The Vietnam War had just ended and South East Asia was starting to rebuild. China was also industrialising its economy at an incredible rate.. Plain common sense dictated the US needed Europe and Japan more than the other way around as a cushion against trade wars and actual military confrontation. If Europe decided to decouple from the US dollar there was nothing – short of a trade war with allies that could stop it. This would give the advantage in the regional conflict to the USSR and China – who were preaching the glories of communism to all and sundry and needed converts.
The consequences for the US economy had already started at the close of the 1960’s. The 1973–1974 bear market lasted between January 1973 and December 1974. Affecting all the major stock markets in the world, particularly the United Kingdom, it was one of the worst stock market downturns in modern history. The crash came after the collapse of the Bretton Woods system over the previous two years, with the associated ‘Nixon Shock’ and United States dollar devaluation (under the Smithsonian Agreement) to help curb the U.S. trade deficit. There were calls to reinstate the gold standard under President Reagan – which was rejected. The Keynesians had won again.
Republican Congressman the Hon. Ron Paul – in the brilliantly argued Minority Report of the U.S. Gold Commission in 1982 for the Reagan Administration (titled and published as ‘The Case for Gold’ in 1983) – said “… all the effort and planning imaginable cannot make paper money work. There is no way paper can be ‘improved’ as money. Whenever governments are granted power to purchase their own debt, they never fail to do so, eventually destroying the value of the currency. Political money always fails because free people eventually reject it. For short periods individual countries can tell their citizens to use paper, but only at the sacrifice of personal and economic liberty”.
The following is a comparison of USD to Gold in terms of purchasing power. Look what happens after 1971.

The possibility of an economy in recession – again – was something the US Government and their true masters– Wall Street and the Federal Reserve – could not afford – at any cost.
The United States used all its economic and military power to take possession of the world gold standard – and failed.
Something had to be done to ensure the U.S fiat-dollar stayed as the World Reserve Currency.

http://www.gold-eagle.com/article/lessons-london-gold-poolPoliticians and social media users are questioning the mass screening of migrants conducted by Cologne police on New Years’ Eve, slamming the tactic as “racial profiling,” but law enforcement officials have defended the screening, citing security concerns.
The Cologne police chief, Jurgen Mathies, rejected accusations of racial profiling saying, “there were by no means only North Africans who were checked.”
Yet, Green Party (Die Gruenen) leader Simone Peter has questioned the legality of the mass ID checks of migrants that were conducted on New Year’s Eve in Cologne.
“A question of proportionality and legitimacy arises when almost 1,000 people are being checked and some detained based on how they look like,” Peter told the Rheinische Post.
Her concerns were echoed by her colleague, Volker Beck, the party’s representative for migration.
“Police measures should be based on [the person’s] dangers or the behavior of a person, not their identity,” he said, noting that “so-called ‘racial profiling’ – meaning police action based only on the supposed ethnic group, religion, and national origin – would not be a legitimate method.” He stressed, however, that he should first hear from the police before making a final judgement.
The tightened security measures were put in place for this year’s New Year’s celebrations following the calamitous incidents of last year’s, when hundreds of Arab-looking men reportedly sexually harassed or abused hundreds of women in front of Cologne’s Cathedral and main railway station.
According to the latest official information cited by Die Welt, last year’s New Year’s violence in Cologne has resulted in 267 investigations against 333 suspects. However, prosecutors have dropped half of those proceedings, and only 30 perpetrators have been convicted, the outlet added.
To avoid a repeat this year, police launched identification checks on a massive scale at the main rail hub and beefed up police presence to some 1,700 officers in the area of the festivities.
Authorities took note of some 650 people’s ID’s, of which 98 percent were North Africans’, Mathies announced at a press conference on Sunday, adding that police had screened a total of 1,700 people and refused some 900 entrance to Cologne. The federal police said that 92 people had been temporarily detained, of which only 16 were ethnic Germans.
The mass ID checks did not sit well with some people on social media, however.
“The so-called “security concept” of police in Cologne was actually a racial profiling,” one person wrote.
“Well, dear police in Cologne. If you want to have some praise for your work, one should not resort to methods violating the constitution, such as racial profiling,” another message said.
Law enforcement in Cologne also faced criticism for calling the North Africans “Nafris [Nafros in English]” in one of its tweets.
Mathies apologized for the tweet saying it was a “working term” and wasn’t meant to be used in public. He tried to explain why police used it.
“The term [Nafri] has been in use internally by police since 2013 as a synonym for young men from Northern Africa, who have been attracting attention for years for their readiness to use violence and or committing criminal offences,” Mathies told reporters on Monday.
However, the police chief defended the mass screening of North Africans.
“There have been situations, similar to what we experienced last year,” he stressed, adding that, in general, the screening operation had been a success.
A Spokesperson for the German Interior Ministry has rejected allegations of racial profiling by police. Such methods “are in our view illegal and are neither practiced nor taught by the federal police,” Johannes Dimroth told reporters on Monday.
However, Dimroth did not clarify whether the tactics as applied in Cologne this year would be a “role model” for the future. “I cannot answer that question. But what I can say quite generally is that, self-evidently we take the view that the responsible authorities at the site adapt to the situation and measure each case individually.”
According to local federal police spokesperson Wolfgang Wurm, groups of migrants had teamed up in online messenger chats to plan a mass gathering in Cologne during the celebrations.
“On the basis of smartphone chats, we have found out that groups of investigation relevant persons have agreed to meet in Cologne on New Year’s Eve,” Wurm told Focus Online. The meeting had been set for around 10pm local time at the festival area in front of Cologne’s central railway station.
In 2016, Cologne’s police were accused of providing poor security for the New Year festivities in the city center, but after this year’s celebrations law enforcement received hundreds of emails and telephone calls thanking police for their activities, according to Mathies.
