“How could these anarchists have tricked security personnel and climbed the Reichstag dome in full mountaineering gear?”
See the shocking video or something, but only first after the obligatory short commercial break.
Repeat after me time and time and time again, preferably in your sleep: “The people want a future without atomic power.” And we, as in they, as you know, are the people, after all. And they always know what’s best for us.
“Die Menschen wollen eine Zukunft ohne Atomkraft.”
Observing Hermann 
I happened to be riding my bike near there when all of that happened yesterday at the Reichstag (I’m on vacation in Hermannland). It was a joke. There were Greenpeace guys walking around calmly handing out pamphlets — meanwhile the hundred of so regular security and the special Polizei stood around or talked to the people out front. I talked to one of the green-shirted Greenpeace guys auf Deutsch about the Aktion. I asked him how they did it and I told him that I found it funny that the two guys hanging down were talking on their Handys (Mr. Demille, I’m ready for my close-up now).
A bunch of guys climbed up on the firetruck and sat on the ladder. I was standing near them when all of a sudden the leader nodded and they all got off and walked away quickly in different directions. If those dudes had tried that shit in New York, I can tell you that they would not have climbed down under their own power. The firefighters themselves would have pulled them off and bundled them up for the police. Amazing.
