That won’t work.

In its war against common sense.

Wind turbine taller than the Eiffel Tower aims to boost German electricity production – A wind turbine described by its developer as the world’s tallest now rises 365 meters (1,197 feet) above the sparsely populated landscape of eastern Germany, surpassing the height of the Eiffel Tower.

The colossal turbine has been built at an existing wind farm in Lusatia, southeast of Berlin. Once a major center of lignite mining, the region has increasingly turned to renewable energy in recent years. The prototype reached its full height this week and is due to be inaugurated in mid-November.

New?

There’s nothing new about socialists taking other people’s property.

Its number one on their time-honored tradition list.

Populism’s New Rallying Cry Is ‘Expropriation’ – Germany’s leftist party swept to victory in Berlin by vowing to confiscate and socialize housing.

After the German far right’s victory in regional elections earlier this month, the Sept. 20 vote in Berlin offered a startling rebuttal—but also a new set of political questions for Germany’s political system. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party scored a record high in the city, but the clear winner was the Left party and specifically Elif Eralp, its candidate for mayor. Having won an unprecedented 26 percent of votes, Eralp is now in position to lead coalition talks with Social Democrats and Greens to cobble together a left-of-center “red-red-green” government.

German of the day: Ernstes Signal

That means a serious signal.

46,000 Jobs Lost: German Corporations Lead the EU in Job Cuts — “a serious signal.”

In 2025, leading German corporations cut significantly more jobs worldwide than companies in France, Spain, or Italy. Workforces are shrinking dramatically, especially at large corporations.

The German economy is in crisis. One bankruptcy follows another. But things aren’t looking particularly rosy internationally either. Nevertheless, companies in Germany are cutting significantly more jobs than firms in Spain, France, or Italy.

Germany to save American climate data from Dr. Evil Himself

Although why all these tweaked versions of climate simulations (all incorrect, as usual) would interest anybody is rather mysterious.

Germany Is Building a Digital Noah’s Ark for US Climate Data – Wary of Trumpian tampering, scientists have taken matters into their own hands…

Under normal circumstances, the DKRZ’s mission is to provide computing power and storage to the German climate science community. But these new racks will serve a different and highly sensitive purpose: They will store backup versions of climate simulations from the other side of the Atlantic. The operation aims to ensure that essential work performed by US scientists for the next major U.N. climate assessment, due in 2029, cannot be meddled with or compromised by the administration of President Trump, which has slashed funding for climate research, buried scientific reports, removed references to human-caused warming from dozens of government websites, and sought to prevent satellites from collecting key climate data.

It’s just a phaseout Germany’s going through

Sooner or later they’ll figure out that this is bat shit crazy.

Germany sets out plan to phase out fossil fuels by 2045 – Germany has said it plans to phase out the use of coal, oil and gas by 2045, reaffirming a climate strategy focused on electrification.

“Our road map is intended to set an international example. I am sure that many other countries will follow.”

Muslim and young female voters working together for Berlin!

What could possibly go wrong?

Muslim, Young Female Vote Drives Far-Left Die Linke ‘Election Intifada’ in Berlin – Far-left Die Linke has won Berlin’s state election for the first time, taking 25.7 per cent of the vote after more than doubling its support since 2023, a result driven heavily by younger voters and the immigrant-origin electorate and accompanied by fresh controversy over the party’s increasingly radical Neukölln branch...

Election data show that Die Linke’s success was driven particularly by young voters and the immigrant vote. Infratest dimap found that 43 per cent of voters under 25 backed the party, while 49 per cent of those aged 25–34 did so. Among young women, the result was even more striking: 51 per cent of female voters under 25 chose Die Linke, compared with 34 per cent of young men. The Greens followed among young women with just 12 per cent.

According to separate research by Forschungsgruppe Wahlen, Die Linke received 51 per cent of the Muslim vote, twice its overall share and 36 percentage points more than among Muslim voters in the 2023 Berlin election.

German of the day: Enteignung

That means expropriation.

You know, like in Cuba? Or New York City?

Berlin election campaign centers around radical-left drive to seize properties – Following Sunday’s regional vote, a coalition of left-wing parties could move to expropriate apartment buildings as part of a plan to lower rents…

The Left party, which traces part of its history to East Germany’s communist party, is enjoying a political revival after winning a new wave of support from young voters mobilized by the far right’s rise. For its Berlin campaign, the party has taken inspiration from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, employing his focus on cost-of-living issues as a model.

“Elections still closed to foreigners” in Berlin?

I don’t understand.

How could elections not be closed to foreigners? In Berlin or anywhere else.

In cosmopolitan Berlin, elections still closed to foreigners – A quarter of Berlin residents will have no say in the German capital’s city-state election because they lack citizenship. That’s the highest proportion of residents excluded from the election yet, and many are unhappy.

My name is Mustafa…

And I’m a communist.

How Mustafa is taking on the far-right Eastern Germany – We followed Mustafa through the final weeks of his campaign for the Left in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. What matters to young people in Saxony-Anhalt?

When we first meet Mustafa, there are only a few weeks left until the state election in Saxony-Anhalt. He is a candidate for The Left (Die Linke), which, alongside the AfD, is one of the most popular parties among young people in Germany.

Hamas is a “militant group?”

I guess that’s one way you could put it.

Germany charges 7 suspected Hamas members over attack plot – Prosecutors say the suspects had moved beyond general preparations and were already pursuing a concrete plan for a deadly attack on Israeli or Jewish targets…

The men are accused of helping obtain guns and ammunition for an attack targeting representatives of Israel, Jewish people or people regarded as pro-Israel.

The plot allegedly became concrete by July 2025 and was intended to take place on the second anniversary of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel.

Prosecutors say that one of the suspects recorded a video claiming responsibility in advance and announcing the planned attack in the name of Hamas.
