Posted by Bavaria. Mulled wine. Fairy lights. Concrete blocks. And – behind the scenes – 5 men allegedly planning mass murder. German authorities quietly foiled an Islamist terror plot aimed at a Christmas market this week. Arrested: three Moroccans, one Egyptian, and one Syrian. Not online edgelords. Not keyboard jihad. Real surveillance, real logistics, real intent. Police say the group was already deep into operational planning – targets scoped, communications monitored, timing aligned with peak holiday crowds. The goal was familiar: maximum bodies, maximum symbolism, maximum panic. Germany didn’t announce this with sirens and speeches. It leaked out clinically. That’s not an accident. Officials know the pattern: Announce too loudly → riots, backlash, political fallout. Say too little → public distrust, conspiracy fuel. This wasn’t a border failure yesterday. It’s the compound interest of a decade of decisions – migration policy, asylum loopholes, intelligence overload, and a refusal to connect ideology to violence until someone’s already dead. The uncomfortable reality: Christmas markets aren’t soft targets by accident. They’re soft targets by design – open, crowded, symbolic, and politically untouchable. Happening next: – More armed police at markets – More “this doesn’t represent Islam” press lines – Zero serious policy reset Germany keeps stopping attacks… it just hasn’t figured out how to stop needing to.
