What has happened so far:

Tehran: Riots and demonstrations have been ongoing for days in Iran and Persia, and now the heir to the throne of the last Shah is calling on the military to join the rebels:

It is probably becoming more likely by the minute that the mullah regime will fall and Persia will rise again.

The people would deserve it; the French have caused enough damage with the installation of the mullahs for more than 46 years now. What the Tagesschau text fails to mention is that Khomeini was previously in exile in France because he had been banished from Persia in 1964, precisely because he wanted to establish a ‘theocracy’. In 1978, he arrived in France via detours in Turkey and Iraq. Both Turkey and Iraq had no use for this Islamic holy warrior and all the trouble he brought with him, and wanted to get rid of him as quickly as possible. So he ended up in the province of Neauphle-le-Château, in the middle of nowhere in France, but immediately became the darling of all Western media. Needless to say, those media outlets were biased against the Shah at the time and later never uttered a word about Iran, which was unjust.

In 1990, this distinguished gentleman published a book: Tahrirolvasyleh, fourth edition, Qom, Iran, 1990. Its content: sex with infants is acceptable as long as the man ‘only’ rubs his p***s between their legs and does not penetrate them. The book was and is not available in the West, there are no known translations, and what can be found about the book is heavily censored. But I can still remember that it was already in the media in the 1990s. That’s the only reason I know about it at all.

What a disgusting pervert, may he rot in hell.

If Persia really does get rid of this diabolical regime – congratulations, I wholeheartedly wish you well.

My advice: condemn Islam, become Christians or go back to Zoroastrianism, anything is better than what you have now. Christianity is my number one choice, because even if you don’t believe in it, you can lead a good life in an orderly manner without being bothered.

Only Christianity brings about religious freedom, including freedom from any religion.

Berlin: Power outage since 3 January 2026 following a suspected terrorist attack by the so-called Vulkangruppe (Volcano Group), with up to 50,000 households without power, plus more than 2,000 businesses. The situation is expected to last until Thursday, 8 January 2026, when the power supply in the capital of the Federal Republic is expected to be restored.

The radical left-wing Vulkangruppe is suspected because they have claimed responsibility:

And these are not unknown figures; they are precisely the mates of Elon Musk who sabotaged his brand-new Tesla factory in 2024, which the local TAZ newspaper actually thought was totally great and fine, but unfortunately had to lament that it was illegal. The article can no longer be accessed, but a screenshot from the Google search should serve the purpose:

I don’t give a damn whether these birds are led from Beijing, Moscow or Amelingen an der Our, they are led from somewhere. And they are not democratic forces, nor are they pro-Germany. The fact that they have been able to wreak havoc in the republic for years and that the judiciary always looks the other way and can never investigate anything speaks volumes.

This CBS report from about 10 months ago, accessed on 5 January 2026, shows the state of freedom of information, freedom of expression and freedom of the press in Germany:

Just look at how much fun these prosecutors have kicking down the doors of German citizens at 6 a.m. and confiscating all their technical devices, such as mobile phones and laptops, simply because they post something they don’t like, even if it is based on facts and is true. They can’t contain their schadenfreude.

They are nothing but scoundrels. When it comes to real terrorism from the left or Muslims, where real people suffer real harm, they do nothing to nothing. They simply don’t investigate when it’s leftists; when it’s Muslims, the perpetrators are declared crazy, put in the loony bin, and then released a year later.

The Vulkangruppe has been active in Germany since at least 2011 and receives funds directly from the federal government via NGOs, regardless of what they do.

The THW sent 1,700 emergency power generators to Ukraine, the German Armed Forces sent several field kitchens, and preppers were all right-wing extremists and Nazis. In the meantime, so-called refugees are being accommodated at taxpayers‘ expense in the best hotels on the other side of the city, Berliners can book double rooms for 70 euros per night, and probably not even that.

This system is sick, just sick.

But what you have to blame the Berliners themselves for is their voting behaviour: they knew, at least since the disaster in the Ahr Valley, what those in power think of their citizens, namely nothing to absolutely nothing. That they regard citizens as voting and tax cattle, to be looked down on with contempt at best.

Nevertheless, Berliners voted as they did, namely for the CDU and otherwise for the Left and/or the Greens, but not with their heads, because that would have meant voting for the AfD and thus the Nazis. So they voted to feel good about themselves because they thought they would never have to bear the consequences themselves.

Now they have to. I wish them a happy awakening.

Caracas: Venezuelan leader Maduro was picked up by the US from Caracas on 3 January 2026, along with his wife. According to the mainstream media and Wikipedia, this was a kidnapping, and they have a fact that cannot be entirely denied.

It is not proper to pick up incumbent heads of state and put them on trial elsewhere. But the US can do it, and Maduro previously risked talking big and has now lost.

It is important to note that this ruler was communist in nature, meaning that his closest allies were Cuba and China, and to some extent Russia. His predecessor, Chávez, completely expropriated US oil companies such as USL from 2005 onwards, i.e. had them ‘nationalised’, a process that was completed in 2008. Since then, not a single penny has been invested in maintaining the infrastructure, let alone in development. Instead, the prisons were emptied in the direction of the US and everything possible was financed with ever-decreasing income from the extremely lucrative oil industry.

When Maduro was not re-elected, he simply retained power and brutally suppressed the uprisings against him. They simply drove armoured vehicles into the protesters.

I personally know four people who fled to Portugal to escape the regime, all of whom suffered significant personal losses that led them to do so.

And in this case, my fugitive also fled. Best regards to Petra.

Incidentally, Guaidó did not manage to form a transitional regime, although he would currently be the legitimate president of Venezuela.

How should one classify this? Maduro is anything but the legitimate president of Venezuela, involved in every crime imaginable, and his wife is no better. The best opposition figure, current winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, without her own power base, the best opposition figure, also somehow, um…

And today is 5 January 2026.
