    After failing to prevent neo-Nazis from staging an annual pilgrimage to the birthplace of Adolf Hitler’s deputy Rudolf Hess, the Bavarian town of Wunsiedel decided to change tack this year.

    Residents and businesses pledged to pay 10 euros ($12.50) for every meter the neo-Nazis walked, and motivational signs were erected along the route of Saturday’s march.

    Inge Schuster, a spokeswoman for the town, said Tuesday that the stunt received “a great response,” raising more than 10,000 euros for the group EXIT-Deutschland that helps people leave the neo-Nazi scene.

    Hess was buried in Wunsiedel in 1987. Three years ago his remains were exhumed, cremated and scattered at sea.

    Effective immediately:
    All of Israel needs to be a closed military zone therefore all media prohibited. All cellphone service in east Jerusalem must be shut down immediately. Marshal law must take effect immediately. All law abiding israeli citizens must train and carry a firearm immediately for self defense.
    House to house searches and random personal searches must take effect immediately. All arab workers must be banned immediately from working within israel. All arab israeli owned or registered motor vehicles must be banned from the city streets immediately. Any violations of above will get a jail term including anyone in possession of a knife, a stone or any type of projectile.
    If ALL of the above don’t go in to force immediately Israeli citizens will lose their sense of security and will take the law in to their own hands which will lead to social unrest and disorder. Let your voice be heard now and request the government take above measures IMMEDIATELY!
