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).

And those are just the nice labels

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

Actually, when you stop to think about it, you’re right to insult us

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.

CAF cases spreading rapidly across Germany

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?

“Spying rules?”

Rules for spies?

Like a “friends don’t spy on friends” kinda rule?

German cabinet approves new spying rules – Germany’s cabinet approved new rules for its spies Wednesday to lift World War II-era restrictions on offensive cyber operations, sabotage, and espionage.

The changes augur a “revolution” in Berlin’s intelligence infrastructure, the German interior minister said, fueled by a growing perception across Europe that the threat of Russian sabotage and influence operations is increasing as Moscow’s battlefield position deteriorates.

When German public servants call in “sick”

They don’t mess around.

“Wenn schon denn schon.” If you’re going to do it, do it right.

Off sick for up to ten years: What lies behind Germany’s teacher shortage – At the start of the new school year, many German schools face an acute staffing crisis, with teachers missing in several subjects and lengthy sick leave further tightening an already tense situation.

Germany’s schools are facing a structural staffing crisis. More teachers have been hired and the federal states are trying to counter this by creating additional posts, recruiting lateral entrants and offering financial incentives.

“No path forward”

To the past.

Wind farms were yesterday.

Trump administration to pay German firm $1.2bn to halt US wind projects – German energy company RWE has said it will abandon its offshore wind projects in the US after reaching a $1.2bn (£892m) payout deal with President Donald Trump’s Department of the Interior (DoI).

RWE said that it will now reinvest the sum into conventional gas projects, including $900m (£669m) in a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal project in Louisiana.

“After careful consideration, it was determined there is no path forward to permit these projects in the US for the foreseeable future,” the company said in a statement.

That means freeloaders.

Germany’s new drug law is a case study in foreign freeloading – U.S. patients will bear even more of the global bill.

At the very moment President Donald J. Trump is demanding that wealthy nations pay their fair share for American medicines, Berlin moved the other way. Its new cost-containment law squeezes more savings from the American companies that discover these medicines and leaves U.S. patients bearing even more of the global bill.

The German parliament passed the law last month. It more than doubles the mandatory rebate that manufacturers pay on brand-name medicines, from 7% to 15.5%. It locks German list prices in place through 2030. And for the first time, it lets German insurers force patented, brand-name medicines into tender-style price competitions — a tactic Germany had reserved for generic drugs until now. Berlin called it a fix for its strained insurance system. In plain terms, it is a wealthy nation balancing its books on the backs of American patients.

Climate skepticism in Germany now “a mass phenomenon”

This must be addressed immediately!

Germany: As temperatures rise, so does climate skepticism – Some 98% of active climate scientists say climate change is happening, and is man-made. Nonetheless, a new study shows the number of climate-change skeptics in Germany has increased. Why is that?

Climate skeptics are no longer a small but noisy minority. They are now “a mass phenomenon,” according to researchers at Flensburg University.

In a study published in the scientific journal Global Environmental Change, authors Katharina Gies and Emanuel Deutschmann reported that between 2022 and 2023 there was a big jump in skeptical attitudes to climate change among the majority of the 3,074 people surveyed. Some 59% said they had more doubts about climate change in 2023 than they had had in the previous year.

That means unemployment.

Germany’s employment agency recorded a jump of 71,000 in monthly unemployment numbers, pushing the total to over 3 million.

EU’s biggest economy reports 6.4% overall unemployment rate.
