Straight Line of the Day: What Can You Do When the Speechcrime Police Come to Your Door?

Germany’s ‘Speechcrime’ Raids Are a Chilling Sign of Things To Come
The European Conservative | 25 Jun, 2025 | Lauren Smith

At around 6 a.m. this morning, hundreds of people across Germany awoke to police officers at their door. Their only ‘crime’ is to have openly made critical or offensive comments on the internet, many about specific politicians.

…

Suspects have had their tablets, laptops, and phones confiscated, and their homes searched. This operation has been taking place annually for several years now, to enforce paragraph 188 of the German criminal code. This was amended in 2021 to make it a criminal offence to insult a political figure, punishable by a maximum sentence of three years in prison.

According to the BKA, there were 10,732 crimes related to online hate speech last year—that’s an increase of roughly 34% since 2023. Compared to 2021, the numbers have quadrupled. Naturally, the vast majority of the posts being targeted by police come from the right wing of the political spectrum.

From a different source:

A national scandal has erupted when the details of the cases became public, such as the case of a pensioner, Stefan Niehoff, having his house raided over calling former Economic Minister Robert Habeck an “idiot.”

…

In another case, someone criticized CDU leader Friedrich Merz as “drunken.”

Could we call in Ethel Merz to testify? Lucy to do some splainin’?

It is unclear who was targeted in the latest raids and what statements they made.

[[ “Who was targeted?” “Shut up, Klink.” “Yes, sir, shutting up.” ]]

…

As an example of the type of raids going on, last year, a 14-year-old German boy had his house raided for posting a banned hashtag on TikTok, which translated to “Everything for Germany.”

Well, I guess “Everything for IMAO” won’t be playing for drunken German idiots anymore.

Straight Line of the Day: Oh, Boy! A New Vacation Resort in North Korea! What’ll You Find There?

DismallyWorld:

North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un to Open Gigantic Beachfront Resort to Boost Tourism
Gateway Pundit | June 27, 2025 | Jim Hᴏft

North Korean “Supreme Leader” Kim Jong Un officially inaugurated the Wonsan‑Kalma coastal resort on June 24 — a lavish project covering over 2.5 miles of beach, outfitted with hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, and a water park.

Framed by state media as the “first step” toward a domestic tourism boom, the facility is set to open its doors to North Koreans on July 1, with purported capacity for up to 20,000 visitors per year.

With foreign tourists still largely banned—only select Russian visitors are tentatively scheduled starting July 7, according to AP….

Reports of the exact scale vary from about 7,000 to 20,000 rooms, which could make the resort — called Wonsan Kalma —one of the largest single-entity-owned beach resorts on the planet.

The dream for Kim: a world-class megatourism project displaying his totalitarian power to the world and at home…

Well, as they say in North Korea, “Kalma’s a Beach!”

“Have you seen me?”
