Hysterical mass demonstrations against the “deportation AfD”

You know. That tired old German ritual of “fighting the Nazis of 1933 today?”

Certainly is a convenient backdrop if you’re a government quietly approving a law that would ease dual citizenship in the background. The public debate of which would otherwise be quite controversial. It almost seems as if these protests are being used as a distraction. It almost seems as if the whole thing was planned.

Germany’s parliament approves easing dual citizenship – German lawmakers have voted in favor of changing the law, which would open up the possibility of dual citizenship to swaths of the population. The bill would also reduce the time needed to qualify for naturalization.

Clearly Orchestrated Turmoil

The German government, i.e. the established parties in Germany, wants to pull a “ban Trump” number on the competition.

It’s quite simple, really. The AfD is getting too many votes and it looks like this will continue to be the case. Talk of banning the party is increasingly in the air.

Just study this latest embarrassingly heavy-handed move. German Gutmenschen (goody-two-shoes, virtue-signalling “correct” thinkers), already loudly vocal against the AfD, are being told by the powers that be (see state media) to somehow be even more against them, this due to an alleged “mass deportation” meeting that probably never took place. Or, if it did, most certainly not in the way it’s being spun. In other words, although you all already knew that the AfD was anti-uncontrolled immigration, you must now show your moral outrage about finding out that the AfD is anti-uncontrolled immigration – and hit the streets in protest. And sheeple being sheeple, they’ve done exactly as they’ve been told.

Turmoil in Germany over neo-Nazi mass deportation meeting – Revelation that members of AfD met with extremists to discuss removing asylum seekers has sparked days of protests.

German of the day: “Wie kommt es zu dem extremen Winterwetter?”

That means: “What causes the extreme winter weather?”

In January. In Germany.

This was a real question asked and addressed by Germany’s ARD state TV channel. And they were serious. It wasn’t meant to be a joke. But it certainly is.

“Climate crisis” hysteria has brought us to the point where perfectly natural seasonal weather is now seen as a threat in need of an explanation and a solution.

Germans are growing glummer?

Thank goodness!

Maybe everything is finally getting back to normal.

Austrians happiest in EU, while Germans grow glummer – Despite the pandemic and war, most Europeans reported they were quite satisfied with their lives in a 2022 survey. Austria came out top, while Germany and Bulgaria brought up the rear.

On a scale of 1 to 10, Austrians rated their overall life satisfaction at 7.9, putting them ahead of Finland, Poland and Romania, each scoring 7.7. The EU average, calculated using survey data from each of the 27 member states gathered in 2022, was 7.1.

German of the day: Hupkonzert

That means horn concert.

Horn concert wakes up the capital: Thousands of farmers demonstrate in Berlin.

Before the planned protest demonstration by farmers at the Brandenburg Gate, participants with their tractors headed toward Berlin city center on Monday morning. Loud honking could be heard in several parts of the city in the early morning hours and also during the night.

The BSW Party

With an emphasis on the BS.

Leftist remarketing tricks still work (socialist BS is the gift that keeps on giving).

The new and improved “Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance – Reason and Justice” (BSW) party, here to “save democracy,” is polling at “up to” 14% of the vote in Germany. This means, of course, it might get 4% of the vote in an actual election, which isn’t enough to be elected, but still.

New German leftist party could take up to 14% of vote, poll shows – A leftist politician who quit Germany’s Left party and this week set up her own could win as much as 14% of the vote in national elections, dealing heavy blows to both conservatives and the far right, a new poll has found.

Stay tuned…

They won’t be able to deport him.

Because, well, it will be against the law. After twisting the law on it’s head. Because, well, we live in the Age of No Consequences.

Germany seeks Cologne Cathedral attack suspect’s deportation – Authorities are seeking to expel the 25-year-old arrested on suspicion of planning a New Year’s Eve attack on the historic cathedral. The Tajik national was arrested along with three others, but they were later released.

Worthless currency?

You mean like the euro?

Or are you talking about the dollar?

Why are Germans hoarding billions of useless deutsche marks?

As everything seems to be getting more expensive through inflation, many Germans have a secret stash of cash at home. They’re holding on to their long-expired currency instead of exchanging it. What are they waiting for? …

Though these marks can no longer be used, they can be traded for euros.

German of the day: Bahnstreik

That means railway strike.

Pro tip: When you’re the guy giving the order to strike, make sure you catch the last train back to your headquarters in Berlin before the strike begins.

More German of the day: Dumm gelaufen. That means shit happens.

Train drivers’ strike – GDL boss Weselsky misses last train to Berlin.

Claus Weselsky has a problem: due to the train drivers’ strike, the head of the train drivers’ union (GDL) said he missed the last train to Berlin on Tuesday evening.

Courts in Frankfurt rejected the injunction issued by Deutsche Bahn against the strike action on Tuesday evening but after that, things went less well for the union leader, as the hearing lasted longer than initially expected.
