Kinder Surprise: The downsides of adopting racially alien children

News from the small German town of Herdecke this past week has sent cognitive dissonances into overdrive after jousting reports finally settled on what many had dreaded. The stabbing of newly elected mayor Iris Stalzer was perpetrated by her own children (daughter, 17 and son, 15), who were adopted from Mali and Haiti respectively. In scenes reminiscent of a Quentin Tarantino film, the daughter had tied down the career-minded 57-year-old in the basement of their home and tortured her for hours with a makeshift blowtorch and 13 knife “punctures” to the lungs and torso. But in this disturbing case of pulp friction, it’s the epilogue that reveals who the real sociopaths are.

German authorities have decided not to issue an arrest warrant and instead are classifying the incident as “bodily harm.” While the daughter cools off in a psychiatric facility, it’s also come to light that the mother, after being airlifted to an intensive care unit, attempted to lie to investigators about the ordeal. The former lawyer apparently thought this would work just days after making several calls to police for help in dealing with knife threats from her daughter. Stalzer actually blames the authorities for not providing enough support to deal with her problematic daughter. In the old Germany it would be the woman who was sent to a psychiatric ward and the daughter sent to prison. Alas the Merkel-Merz era seems to have taken things all the way back to Weimar.

The current year is coincidentally somewhat of a marker for several past events that provide some reflective insight on the throes of our times. Precisely a century ago, Franz Boas’s notorious protégé Margaret Mead landed on Samoa and began her infamous study that would be later cited by legion cultural relativists and blank slaters despite its baseless anthropological integrity. 1925 was also the year that a certain obscure work would be published and ignored for years: Mein Kampf. It’s rather evident whose literature has ended up on the right side of history, but one has to question what it’s all worth when you end up on the wrong side of your African daughter’s knife blade.

Some might see a certain poetic justice to the summoned carnage – Goethe’s Die Wahlverwandtschaften (1809) comes to mind as a parallel for what befalls the tempting of fate and nature with such folly as blended families. Where some see tragedy others see karma, indeed at a time when the bleeding-heart liberals are now just plain bleeding – who would deny them the “Told you so” riposte? Those who dictate policy for the rest are the least deserving of immunity from public exposure of domestic abnormalities. Some of these masochists in the current zeitgeist may even revel in their public payment of these sanguine tithes.

This year is also the 500^th anniversary of Martin Luther’s marriage to Katharina von Bora, which was among the earliest for clergymen and an important precedent for clerical matrimony rights. The later adoption of Luther’s name by the Black American preachers is a rather sordid appropriation that took place merely because of MLK Senior’s pompous visit to the 1934 world Baptist congregation in Nazi Germany. That is where the similarities end, because while the Protestant reformer married a former nun and raised six children and four orphans, MLK Jr. is known to have abused scores of prostitutes and spread STIs more than the gospel. His files were sealed by a 50-year court order.

Mainstream German culture  is very much in fashionable agreement with its American equivalent, such that in 2020 a group of activists unofficially renamed Berlin’s Mohrenstraße station George Floyd Straße on account of some feigned racial sensitivity about the name Mohr. In reality this term is merely a cognate of Moor (cf. Mauritania), and is also a common German surname.

Feel good initiatives are one thing, but reality is another, and it appears that Black fatigue and the Schwarze Chroniken will be overlapping with ever greater regularity. Media this week reported on the Togolese asylum seeker in the small town of Neuffen who for two years has been smashing cars and exposing himself to children. In another case, a Ghanaian migrant stabbed a woman in front of her three young children, rendering her permanently paralyzed.

Of course, the much larger source of terror continues to be the Merkel-era migrant influx from the Muslim world. Bild reported this week that a Syrian 14-year-old was arrested following 200 criminal acts in several towns. He was only able to be arrested after turning 14, because German law is designed for German behaviour, and is thus limited in unprecedented ways. Last month two Syrians raped a 19-year-old Czech tourist in the city of Dresden, with the twist in the story being that the victim was male. The same fate befell a young Polish man in the city of Munich after the Afghan attackers pulled out their knives.

This year is also the 80^th anniversary of the Rape of Berlin – a largely forgotten atrocity perpetrated in the closing stages of WWII. But just as the United States has its Civil War re-enactors so too can Germany claim to now have a segment of its population who will emulate  what the Soviets did, albeit on a daily basis and countrywide.

Cynics of Germany’s refugee and migrant population will often sardonically refer to the newcomers as doctors and lawyers, which is one of the more charitable euphemisms, although ironically there are actually some ordained doctors among them. We know this because a Syrian born doctor was recently found guilty of raping a 14-year-old girl at his clinic in Bad Rothenfelde. In some Muslim countries physicians are not even allowed to look at female genitalia directly, meaning mirrors are employed to fool Allah, but such rules are undoubtedly suspended when dealing with infidels.

Some of the other euphemisms popularly used by the media and law enforcement include Südländer (southerners), Schutzsuchende (persons seeking protection) and Zugewanderte (newcomers). Perhaps the strangest has been the choice of some female activists and parliamentarians, who have accused the AfD of being biased against the new dark-haired Germans. The visage of a certain painter from Vienna puts such a color scheme into question, but also puts some European migrants in the cross-hairs of a synecdoche that works both ways. Years ago in the town of Hamelin, a Bosnian woman had told me that her kind referred to the more pallid Germans as Kukuruzni – a reference to raw corn. Since discretion is the better part of valor I decided not to ask why she herself had a peroxide hairdo that would make Geert Wilders blush. At any rate, when barbershop talk reaches the Bundestag it shows that the partisanship is pettier than ever.

Following the electoral humiliation of Olaf Scholz, the Christian Democratic Union is back in power, although such coalitions remain fragile and not much is expected to change policy-wise. Chancellor Friedrich Merz like predecessor Merkel has Polish ancestry, although it should be said that these are garden variety Slavs who have assimilated to Germanic masochism and seem to have brought only anti-Russian sentiment across the Oder. At a time when tax payers are being bled dry and the cost of living has been jacked up across the board, Merz is lavishing money on Zelensky and talking up war with Russia. For authentic based Poland vibes one needs to turn to figures like Gregor Braun, who extinguished the Polish parliament’s Hanukah candles, or Ewa Zajaczkowska, who in the European parliament told Ursula von der Leyen that she should “go to prison“ since she was “responsible for every rape caused by illegal migrants.“

Merz, who is the grandson of a Nazi, has tried to present himself as someone who is cracking down on immigration, but it’s impossible to take that seriously given he continues his Firewall policy of refusing to cooperate with the AfD. Meanwhile, Syrians are lapping up German citizenship rather than returning to post-Assad Syria. In the lead up to North Rhine-Westphalia’s elections last month, a remarkable seven candidates for the AfD were found dead. No patriotic German can feel too safe these days, but it’s hardly better for regular folk who have lost their social lives on account of security fears as well as basic financial security. Germans feel like hostages in their own country and yet its Merz’s other marquee issue that shows which hostages are of greater concern…

The Brandenburg Gate – October 7, 2025

The vast majority of Europe has now recognized the State of Palestine, for whatever that’s worth, and it’s really only the former Axis-occupied lands that hold out: Germany, Italy, Austria, Finland, the Baltics, the Netherlands and Belgium. Germany’s most loyal poltroon, Croatia under Prime Minister Plenkovic, is likely to echo its role from WWII and be Germany’s last remaining ally on this issue too.

Among all of the chaos transpiring in Germany, the position of the elites and political class has been to more or less double down on all of the policies that have led to the present crisis. This means more austerity, more arrest of thought criminals online and more antiracism propaganda. Some government sponsored initiatives have involved conditioning young women for interracial relations and miscegenation. It’s probably not even necessary given what is known about the wartime Rhineland Bastards – spawned under a completely different political paradigm. Western hyperindividualism combined with current proximity and demographics seem like a foregone conclusion.

Germany’s biggest cultural export in this century is probably supermodel Heidi Klum – who no doubt doubles as role model for German girls back home who dream of becoming a star in America. What’s fascinating about a woman with three black offspring is that she does not consider perennially dyeing her dark hair blonde to be colorist conflict of interest.

Having children that do not resemble oneself may be increasing in popularity, but according to sociobiology impresario Jean-Francois Gariepy its implications are quite profound. The concept of genetic distance was the HBD theme of the year for 2024, but many still seem unable to comprehend the central tenet. The level of effective relatedness between a parent and their child is a function of many genes they have in common with their spouse. In the homogeneous societies of yesteryear, parents had a level of genome commonality with their offspring that was above 90%. Infidelity was not even able to be noticed, such was the minimal level of variation in the group. Nowadays perhaps only someone half Ethiopian, half Danish could claim to have the base level 50% genetic concordance with each parent.

The reality for people who miscegenate is that this means that they are likely to be more genetically related to millions of strangers than their own offspring. How this affects child-rearing and long-term bonds is itself worthy of investigation, and yet the empirical research is virtually non-existent. This is the kind of issue that Germany’s Max Planck Society could be studying, but alas the Frank Salters are long gone (although he is still active in promoting an Anglo Australia). The corporate hierarchy went woke and the budget will go broke once the German tax base is no longer able to support the annual 2.15 billion euro subsidy.

Having recently communicated with some German residents contemplating leaving the country, high taxation was indeed the most common reason cited (including the covert taxation through utilities, groceries, inflation). Significant numbers of Eastern Europeans are beginning to return to their home countries, while ethnic Germans opt for Spain, the United States, Australia, New Zealand and even Uruguay.

One woman from the city of Stuttgart told me that Germany is a “sinking ship.” She identified migrants as benefitting from welfare and not working but was otherwise very politically correct. She disliked Merz simply because he “looks like a Nazi” and also thought the Iris Stalzer case could have happened to anyone with adopted children. When I pointed out that the girl essentially avoided any legal prosecution for attempted murder, she disagreed because she considered the temporary psychiatric internment as an adequate legal resolution and fully trusts the diagnoses made by appointed officials. Sinking ships usually submerge quite peacefully – perhaps comparison with the Hindenburg will prove to be a more accurate.

Another person I know who works as a rare fruit grower has decided to disassemble his greenhouses and move to the Dominican Republic. He also sticks to economic and bureaucratic rationales, which he deems sufficient to make his case rather than delving into crime and other social unpleasantries. Classic German minimalism and stoicism. With many decent, hardworking Germans leaving for good, the future looks like it will get even more erratic and polarizing for the homeland. Who could have predicted just a decade ago that Germany would have a world championship winning basketball team, but be closing down its breweries in record numbers? It’s a sobering reality indeed.*
