Last month we posted a confrontation between a German woman named Inge Steinmetz and a member of the Lügenpresse — a progressive journalist, in other words.

The video below shows Ms. Steinmetz’ remarks at a rally in Chemnitz, in which she discusses the dignity of the German people — or, more accurately, the violation of that dignity by the relentless cultural enrichment.

Many thanks to MissPiggy for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:

Video transcript:

00:00 “Human dignity shall be inviolable”. I received the invitation to speak at

00:05 this event here rather late and got the news even later about this theme.

00:11 I had no idea where to start. I’m used to writing spontaneously,

00:18 ideas that just occur to me, intuitively from the heart.

00:23 Usually at night, when my concerns for our country rob me of sleep.

00:27 I write short texts emphasizing a particular theme. What should I do?

00:37 Turn down the invitation? I had to think about what dignity meant.

00:43 Well, at least for me. I think the word dignity is related to respect and esteem.

00:51 I had to think of aging in dignity and grace. I love old things.

00:57 And when something ages with dignity, then it become more valuable.

01:03 I like, for example, older fabrics made from natural material which age

01:12 with dignity though time. The fading colors become even more beautiful, are

01:16 pleasant to the touch, and softer with age. This came to mind, but human dignity?

01:24 I was born in 1954, the same year as Merkel. It was a time when things

01:33 weren’t going so well for us as Germans. My mother bought me a doll’s pram

01:37 for one mark from the junk handler who would come by once in a while. I still

01:43 have it, but I couldn’t tell you why. I can’t really remember my early childhood.

01:49 I know that we, we were five children at home and for Christmas we received

01:56 a paper plate with nuts and an apple dwarf. We also received a handmade

02:00 Norwegian sweater, that my mother could make so well.

02:06 And Santa made sure we received some kind of toy.

02:12 I only had one doll, but when I look at the little black and white photographs

02:20 with those jagged edges, then I see a happy child. I was born in a

02:24 good time period, when everything continued to get better and nicer.

02:29 We lost our parents too early. We were all around 20 years old and

02:36 still had to care for our youngest sister, it became clear to me we had lived

02:40 in a kind of golden cage. I had a protected childhood, could choose the career I

02:47 wanted and marry the man I chose. I can’t remember when I first saw the film

02:59 “Desert Flower” which is based on a true story. I was around 50 years old.

03:07 I remember it well. How horrified I was, that Waris, a 14-year-old Muslim girl from

03:15 Somalia was to be forcibly married to an old man who paid for her.

03:25 I remember, watching and sobbing, when as a grown woman and

03:32 famous fashion model, she explained how she was brutally circumcised as a little girl.

03:41 If I remember well, until that point in time I had never heard of child marriages,

03:48 forced marriages or female genital mutilation. The world just fell apart for me,

03:56 the idea that something like this actually exists, and I freely admit I was very happy

04:03 that this kind of world was far, far, away. It wasn’t a part of Germany.

04:10 Then 2015 came. The borders were left open for anyone who could write

04:19 the word asylum, or just said it. With these people came child marriages,

04:24 which meant forced marriages and female genital mutilation, too.

04:31 The unimaginable for me or my intact world has now arrived Germany.

04:38 Now this little woman that concentrated on her own family became politically interested.

04:47 I could not, no, I will not sit back and watch something like this becoming accepted,

04:53 tolerated or even deemed as legal from our courts.

05:02 Even ex-federal justice minister [Heiko] Maas said that there should be exceptional

05:08 cases for child marriages. Especially when children are born into such relationships.

05:17 He justifies his statement by saying that these girls would have no right to financial

05:22 support because their marriages would not be recognized as legal. What a farce!

05:29 These girls could sue for financial support from their parents, which would act as a

05:38 deterrent for parents selling their children into forced marriages.

05:44 Evil is removed by the root and shouldn’t be given any nourishment, Mr. Maas.

05:49 A court in Bamberg has now officially recognized child marriages.

05:54 With this kind of judgement, the sharia has its foot in the door in Germany.

06:01 How is it possible in Germany that pedophiles and men who marry their

06:08 first, second, third or fourth child bride aren’t charge with child abuse?

06:15 The daily abuse, the rape of a child is now recognized as legal.

06:23 And what about the dignity of these children? Where is their right to a

06:29 protected childhood? An education? The freedom to choose a partner?

06:36 In Germany, you must be 18 years old to legally get a tattoo, and 16 years old with

06:43 the expressed permission of the parents. For circumcised boys, a procedure that has

06:48 enormous effects on the body, the German court system is starting to take action.

06:57 The serious consequences caused by these procedures done on the affected children

07:05 are criticised by various associations of doctors and the Child Protection

07:09 group MOGIS. All of this is happening under the smokescreen of religious freedom.

07:16 Shouldn’t our law be protecting the weakest in our society, the children?

07:23 Our country has now been taken over by things I had no clue about.

07:30 This includes the rape of grown men, yes, now we have that too.

07:37 Sex with animals, mass rapes…all of this which was unknown to me and far,

07:46 far away —now belongs to Germany.

07:50 When I read daily about what’s happening in this country, well OK, not in the

07:54 mainstream media because you can’t find it, because that doesn’t fit the narrative.

07:58 What I see, is that the dignity of the people is being used like a doormat.

08:04 I never had anything to do with “Women’s Lib”, and now appear to be the greatest

08:11 champion of women’s rights. All those people, especially women, who just

08:15 a couple months ago were screaming “me too” everywhere and were supporting

08:19 actresses who after decades came forward with their alleged sexual assault

08:23 stories, by men they knew and could have easily reported. Those are the same people

08:38 who couldn’t care less about the dignity of these women and children.

08:43 Those forced into marriage and who are abused in these so-called marriages.

08:49 What also does not matter to them is the safety of women who are sexually

08:55 assaulted on the streets of Germany on a daily basis by foreign men,

08:59 from unknown countries and of unknown identity — or should I say identities.

09:09 Apparently the dignity of older people is also worthless. Those who have worked

09:15 hard their entire lives and still can’t live on those hard-earned pensions.

09:21 Oh, and what about the dignity of those who are still working every day and can’t

09:27 find affordable places to live anymore? The longer I think about human dignity

09:32 the greater the abyss widens. We have a wonderful constitution, from the first article

09:40 about the human dignity that is allegedly inviolable to the last article, number 146,

09:52 which says these basic laws are valid for all German people and shall cease the day

10:02 on which a constitution freely adopted by the German people takes effect.

10:11 Until that day, the only way our constitution makes sense is when it is strictly applied.

10:18 With no loopholes opened in the name of tolerance for the intolerant.

10:26 We should not let our constitution be undermined by politicians for whom the right

10:30 to a dignified life doesn’t matter, unless it is their own lives — because they
