They clearly want to increase the popularity of the far-right AfD (Alternative for Germany).
It has to be what they want. Otherwise they would propose aggressive measures against Germany’s “immigrant dystopia,” like the AfD is doing – and eating what used to be their lunch.
The “traffic light” coalition currently in power makes no secret about having no intention of doing anything about the migrant meltdown, but of course no one here even expects them to do anything (see the Banana Republic of US-Amerika for a similar situation near you).
German far-right party surges on immigrant ‘dystopia’ – Alternative for Germany is stoking anti-migrant sentiment in the town of Görlitz — and nationwide.
Nationally it (the AfD) is polling at nearly 22 per cent, ahead of all three parties in chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition: the Social Democrats, Greens and liberal Free Democrats.
Everybody knows that German border guards don’t Czech very thoroughly.
Germany will impose checks on borders with Poland and Czech Republic, official says – The government is under increasing pressure to stem the flow of asylum seekers.
These “temporary controls at selected border crossings” will begin “within the next days,” the official added.
For one thing, Germany practically never deports anyone. More than 300,000 foreigners who are obliged to leave the country are still here. And “the word is out.”
Then you also get paid once you get here. You get free healthcare and a free place to live. What’s not to like? Unless you’re a German taxpayer who gets nothing, nothing other than the next tax increase and unaffordable rents, if she can find a place to rent at all.
Here are the current asylum seeker salaries now available throughtout Europe:
Tigst Assefa shatters the women’s marathon world record by more than 2 minutes in Berlin – Tigst Assefa broke the women’s world record by more than two minutes Sunday at the Berlin Marathon, as Eliud Kipchoge won the men’s race for the fifth time but couldn’t break his own record.
Ethiopian runner Assefa, the winner in Berlin a year ago, ran the race in 2 hours, 11 minutes, 53 seconds to break the previous women’s record of 2:14:04 set by Kenya’s Brigid Kosgei at the Chicago Marathon in 2019.
The only problem with policies to ban these is that CO2 isn’t a pollutant.
Politicians are “driven by ideology, not facts?” No kidding. If only we could develop a car that runs on ideology. The world would never run out of fuel.
German firm to sue EU over ban on polluting cars.
E-fuel maker Lühmann says the plan to phase out diesel and petrol cars across the European Union by 2035 is “driven by ideology, not facts.” The company wants to ramp up sales of greener synthetic fuels.
The weather is not your fault. The climate (weather over time) is not your fault either. Yes, the climate is changing. It is changing because it has never not changed. But no, the “pollutant” CO2, anthropogenic or otherwise, is not driving this change. It is driving plant growth. The narrative you are being led to believe is false. The causes for climate change are all natural. Natural, although not yet fully understood.
How do we know this? We know this because of the historical records our ancestors have left behind and the physical evidence Nature gives us from the vast, pre-industrial past. What we are experiencing has all happened before, only usually much worse. This is why we don’t need to worry about slowing down or stopping the changes we have been conditioned to fret about. These changes can’t be stopped and we can’t “save the planet” because it doesn’t need to be saved. We only need to worry about how we can best adapt to these changes, something humankind has been doing for countless millennia already.
But, huh? How could the rest of the world have reached a different consensus if CO2 isn’t a threat? Because consensus is a political, not a scientific term and those who profit from it also control public opinion. “They” are the aggregate of the professions, groups, institutions and industries that profits financially or in any other way from the CO2 narrative. And they manipulate the public very effectively by exploiting at least three well-known human weaknesses. The first is fear. Fear is easily planted and maintained in the minds of the dis-, mis- and uninformed. Those who plant it know that short of any real and present danger, we humans will find something to worry about ourselves. We look for things to fear, in other words, and our false narrative beneficiaries are here to help us find them. The second is our need to conform. Being firmly rooted in social hierarchies and strongly influenced by group dynamics, we have a primal need to belong. This need is so great that we are willing to deny our own reason to avoid the ban of social outcast. The third weakness is our anthropocentrism. We innately feel that human beings are the center of the universe and are somehow in control of Nature. We are neither, of course, and this leads to hubris, narcissism, ruinous decision-making and ultimate failure. We lack humility, in other words.
Humility is a good thing, however. And this book is an exercise in humility. It aims to offer those who feel uncomfortable with the arrogant CO2 Climate Crisis consensus of our age a chance to step back and doubt. It is a modest collection of well-documented facts and logical observations (most taken from the books listed in the bibliography) that will hopefully help you choose to refuse. Choose to refuse the bias and the hard sell. Refuse the fear mongering. Refuse the indoctrination and the religious fervor.
Remember that only the individual thinks. Only the individual reasons. You don’t have to take part in this mob psychology – or mass delusion, mass hysteria, mass psychogenic illness, mass formation psychosis, etc., if you prefer calling it that. This is what is currently plaguing our planet, not CO2. Just say no and step away. To choose isn’t hard to do. So, without much ado, may the skepticism be with you.
German housing prices show sharpest drop since 2000 year over year, statistics office says – German housing prices fell by the most since records began in the second quarter as high interest rates and rising materials costs took their toll on the property market in Europe’s largest economy, government data showed on Friday.
Residential property prices fell by 9.9% year-on-year, the steepest decline since the start of data collection in 2000, the federal statistics office said. Prices fell by 1.5% on the quarter, with steeper declines in larger cities than in more sparsely populated areas.
The Green obsession with doing without is in full nighttime bloom.
Germany passes law to make energy savings compulsory – Germany’s lower house of parliament on Thursday passed a bill to make saving energy compulsory in all economic sectors, a move intended to help fight climate change and curb use of imported fossil fuels.
The Energy Efficiency Act, introduced by the Greens-led economy ministry, includes regulation for energy savings in public buildings, industry and fast-growing data centres across Germany, with the goal of a 26.5% cut by 2030 from 2008.
Spurred by fears that persistently low Russian gas supplies could lead to shortages, the German government introduced some initial energy-saving measures last year, including banning heating for private swimming pools and encouraging people to work from home.
Go ahead and cry for me, Argentina. We can cry together, if you want.
Germany Joins Argentina as Only G-20 Member Facing GDP Drop – Germany faces the only contraction in any Group of 20 economy aside from Argentina this year, according to the OECD, which cut its outlook through 2024.
The euro-zone country will suffer a 0.2% drop in gross domestic product in 2023 — down from a previous projection for stagnation, the Paris-based organization said in new forecasts published Tuesday. It will then grow only 0.9% in 2024, down from 1.3% anticipated in June.
Now it’s US-Amerika‘s turn (some call it The Banana Republic).
Germany went from envy of the world to the worst-performing major developed economy. What happened?
For most of this century, Germany racked up one economic success after another, dominating global markets for high-end products like luxury cars and industrial machinery, selling so much to the rest of the world that half the economy ran on exports.
Jobs were plentiful, the government’s financial coffers grew as other European countries drowned in debt, and books were written about what other countries could learn from Germany.
No longer. Now, Germany is the world’s worst-performing major developed economy, with both the International Monetary Fund and European Union expecting it to shrink this year.
