Nobody wants to host Climate Woodstock anymore!

Not even Germany. Ouch.

Gimme a C! Gimme an L! Gimme an I

Germany seeks to avoid becoming next UN climate host by accident – Australia and Turkey both want to host the COP31, and if neither back down the talks will be held in Germany.

“We would have to, but we do not want to.”

We can’t defend our own country…

From drones. It’s illegal or something here in Germany.

So we’ll send our drone-defense experts to help some other country. Keeps them busy.

German Luftwaffe dispatches drone-defense experts to help Belgium – The German military has sent specialists to Belgium to help authorities there combat drones following sightings near crucial military facilities, including those housing nuclear weapons.

The Bundeswehr announced the move in a press release late Thursday. According to the military, first units of the Luftwaffe – Germany’s air force – have already arrived in Belgium, where they are investigating the situation on the ground and coordinating with the Belgian armed forces. Further German forces would “soon follow,” the military said.

German of the day: Betrug

That means fraud.

Not just any fraud in this case. German fraud.

5 Southern California suspects arrested for German fraud scheme that stole over €300 million from victims – Five Southern California residents were arrested for their alleged roles in a fraud scheme that stole over €300 million from victims in Germany.

The suspects are accused of creating a scheme that targeted their victims with millions of recurring debit and credit card charges that hit below €50 (around $57 USD) to avoid any detection or suspicion.

The charges were linked to fake or non-existent companies and used fictitious websites that were only accessible via direct links or URLs, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Germany: Are we allowed to say we feel unsafe yet?

The Media Brain Police still haven’t given the official OK.

Germany: Survey shows every other person feels unsafe – The monthly Deutschlandtrend survey has looked into the debate about the perception of urban space in Germany. It found that the number of people who no longer feel safe in public has risen.

A statement on migration and public safety by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has been polarizing Germany for weeks. In mid-October, Merz said that the federal government is correcting previous failures in migration policy and making progress, “but of course we still have this problem with our “Stadtbild” [lit. cityscape, a reference to urban spaces], which is why the Federal Minister of the Interior is now working to make it possible to carry out repatriations on a very large scale.”

It’s well known that Germans are really into work-life-balance these days…

But this is getting out of hand.

German nurse gets life in jail after murdering 10 to reduce workload – A palliative care nurse in Germany has been sentenced to life in prison after he was convicted of the murder of 10 patients and the attempted murder of 27 others.

Prosecutors alleged that the man, who has not been publicly named, injected his mostly elderly patients with painkillers or sedatives in an effort to ease his workload during shifts overnight.

“Muslim Interactive” banned in Germany

Banning Islamist organizations doesn’t seem to be all that difficult. Although the next one will just pop up a few hours later.

But banning other forms of Muslim interaction in Germany has proven to be practically impossible.

Germany news: Interior Ministry bans ‘Muslim Interactive’ – The Interior Ministry has also searched the premises of other Islamist organizations in Hamburg, Berlin and Hesse. Meanwhile, the foreign minister has caused an uproar with comments on Syria.

“In the near future”

Is still pretty far away.

If at all. At least in Germany it always is.

Friedrich Merz says Syrians no longer have reason for asylum in Germany – Chancellor suggests deportations could begin ‘in the near future’ as government seeks to counter rise of AfD…

Merz said late on Tuesday that he expected many of the more than 1 million Syrians living in Germany would voluntarily return home.

“There are now no longer any grounds for asylum in Germany, and therefore we can also begin with repatriations,” he said. Those who refused to return could face deportation “in the near future.”

Don’t blame it on your voluntary dependency on Russian energy

You already had the highest energy prices before the war in Ukraine began.

Blame it on your self-inflicted Green Energiewende (energy turnaround). Turn off all your nuclear power plants and find out.

Germany’s heating bills have tripled since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – Germany has faced a significant increase in heating costs since 2021, after deciding to end its reliance on Russia as a key energy supplier over its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Germans are facing a 82% increase in heating costs since 2021, when the country decided to cut ties with Russia following its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

German of the day: Selbstmordattentat

That means suicide attack.

Suicide bombing planned in Berlin?: 22-year-old Syrian arrested on suspicion of terrorism – Special forces arrested a suspected IS sympathizer in Berlin on Saturday. Investigators found material suitable for constructing explosive devices in his possession.
