It’s the little unsavoury details that make a big unsavoury difference.
Germany’s Nord Stream grudge – The looming trial could undermine support for Ukraine…
The first of the Nord Stream criminal trials will start on 26 October in Hamburg. It will expose many unsavoury details. The prosecutors might ask questions such as: who ordered the attacks? What did President Volodymyr Zelensky know? When did he know it? The attack left Germany in a perma-energy crisis.
That means long-range or deep-strike missiles.
Inside Germany’s roughly $14 billion plan to deter Russia with a new arsenal of deep-strike missiles – The German government expects it will need almost €12 billion — roughly $14 billion — to build a new arsenal of long-range weapons aimed at deterring Russia.
The weapons would give German forces the ability to hit military targets hundreds or even thousands of kilometers behind the front — including command centers, airfields, missile launchers, and supply hubs.
Internal documents call the effort a top priority for both Germany and NATO.
That means Berlin was yesterday.
Germany news: Berlin losing its appeal for many Germans – Fewer than a third of Germans find their capital city “fascinating”, a sharp fall from 20 years ago, a survey has found.
More Germans think Berlin ‘lacks charisma’ than those who find it ‘fascinating,’ according to a survey.
That means secret weapons depot.
Secret Weapons Depot Discovered Near Berlin – According to reports from WDR, NDR, and SZ, security authorities have discovered a hideout containing two loaded weapons on the outskirts of Berlin. Authorities believe it was a depot used by Russian agents for potential attacks.
It must have been like a scene from a spy thriller when German officials made an explosive discovery in late summer of last year in a wooded area on the state border between Brandenburg and Berlin. According to reports from WDR, NDR, and the Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ), they found a professionally constructed hideout containing two loaded firearms in the capital’s affluent suburban belt.
That’s easy. Wind = wind. Hose = pants. So if you put the two together you get…
Tornado!
Germany news: Powerful storms damage homes, leave 1 dead – Germany is grappling with the impacts of damaging storms after a prolonged dry spell.
Cashes in on being Germany’s most dangerous politician.
Election Campaign Hype on eBay: 1,000 Euros for a Siegmund Autograph on the “Spiegel” Cover – Election-campaign frenzy at the online auction site eBay! There, a private seller sold an autograph by AfD lead candidate Ulrich Siegmund (35) for the state election (September 6) in Saxony-Anhalt on an issue of Der Spiegel titled “Germany’s Most Dangerous Man.” Highest bid: 1,010 euros!
A total of 43 bids were placed. In the listing, the seller assured buyers: “You are bidding on an original, hand-signed (not a copy or print) autograph by Ulrich Siegmund on a Spiegel issue. I hope you enjoy bidding!” Beneath the AfD politician’s signature is the date from last Saturday (August 15, 26).
Calling AfD voters the n-word (nazis) is the most popular pastime of the German Mind Police these days.
This makes it easier for the established parties to maintain their “firewall” in order to protect themselves from competition, i.e. from having to do what the voters want them to do (see migration, energy, bureaucracy, etc.).
Germany’s AfD is labeled far right, populist or extremist – Right wing, far right, fascist: Many terms are being thrown around in the debate about the AfD. What do they mean, and how appropriate are they when discussing the Af
If I were you, I would insult us too
Germany rethinks law protecting politicians from insults – Criminal investigations of people who have referred to Merz as “Pinocchio” and “Lying Fritz” have prompted calls for reform across the political divide.
Germany’s political parties have converged on an unusual point of agreement: A law penalizing citizens for insulting politicians needs to change, following controversial investigations of people who mocked Chancellor Friedrich Merz as “Pinocchio” and “Lying Fritz.”
But while politicians across the spectrum agree the law needs fixing — they just can’t agree how, or when, to change it.
And keep fallin’.

The recent outbreak of CAF (Climate Action Fatigue) is still spreading across the Federal Republic of Germany.
Media authorities are highly concerned and have intensified their efforts to get German minds back under control. Unnamed sources say they may even have to call for the mandatory use of face masks.
In Germany record heat meets climate action fatigue – For the German government climate action does not seem to be a priority — despite record temperatures, heat-related deaths and drought. Why don’t more people take to the streets in protest?
