A farce, this “protest movement” at the East Side Gallery. And a well-written article, this is. But sorry, I don’t have the time or the energy to translate it today.

Hoff The Wall
David Hasselhoff himself, “adored by fans in Germany after his 1989 performance of his song Looking for Freedom on top of the Berlin Wall,” is mad as hell and isn’t going to take it anymore and will now sign a petition opposing the further removal of remnants of the wall at Berlin’s East Side Gallery.
But that’s not the interesting part of this article, I find. The following line is:
He once complained that his role in the reunification of East and West Germany had been overlooked following the fall of the Berlin Wall.
His role in the reunification of East and West Germany? I don’t get it. David Hasselhoff’s roles are always overlooked. That’s just what he does. That’s his trademark, so-to-speak. So let’s move on and overlook his latest role here while we’re at it, too.
“How can you tear down the wall that signifies freedom, perseverance and the sacrifice of human life?”
Remove 20 Meters?
Of a 1.3-kilometer stretch of the Berlin Wall?
And you can still find 300 people who care?
The real issue: This is being done to build a road to a new luxury condominium so, well, the yuppie scum must be behind it again.
“Does culture no longer have any value?”
Angry Radical Femen Women Showing Their Feminist Thingies All Over The Place These Days
Even in Berlin, of all places. And I, for one, find it shocking and disgraceful.
But on the other hand… If this is the only way to unite young women in their striving for the democratic principles of social awareness, political activism and social development, who am I to stand in their way?
„Wir als Frauen erobern die Hoheit über unsere Körper zurück und setzen sie für politische Ziele ein.“
Climate Activists Unable To Curtail Their Toxic Emissions After Latest Failed Climate Talks
Mad as hell about the latest failed United Nations climate talks held at Doha (that’s number 18 now, I believe), climate activists and environmentalists everywhere have begun emitting huge amounts of angry hot air in a desperate attempt to vent their frantic frustration at this latest “betrayal” to, uh, reality.
Cursing, wailing, spitting and hissing sounds have been registered all over our globally warmed up globe, punctuated by regular reports of urgent pouting and stomping noises.
One group of activists is open to reason, however, having pledged instead to collectively hold their breaths until turning blue in the face together.
“It has long been evident that the United Nations talks were at best a partial solution to the planetary climate change problem, and at worst an expensive sideshow.”
PS: Thanks for the way cool CO2 gas mask link, A.K.
When Will The Hurt Feelings Ever End?
Germany has decided to take precautionary measures and will now be closing its embassies in Muslim countries after word got out that Bettina Wulff is currently planning to produce a Muhammad film.
“We have intensified security precautions everywhere in the region, and in some cases increased security personnel too.”
Germans Finally Manage To Bring Muslims And Jews Together
To protest against restrictions on circumcision, that is. They’ll be getting together in Berlin to holler and shout and raise hell this Sunday, for instance. Warms your heart, don’t it?
When it comes to “flagrant interference” in religion, Germans may indeed have a long and proven track record and all, but as expected, they have clearly bitten off more than they can chew this time with their latest perfectly pointless and completely unnecessary stab at this ancient Jewish and Muslim practice.
They’re backpeddling as fast as they can, of course, but it’s too little too late and now everybody has hurt feelings and, well, that’s what you get for fixing things that ain’t broken.
“Gut gemeint ist leider nicht unbedingt gut gemacht.”
Capitalists To Pay For Occupy Cleanup
Sure, hauling away 300 cubic meters of garbage, hunting down all the rats and fixing up the green areas sounds like lots of fun and all, but somebody is going to have to pay for it, too. And it won’t be the occupants this time.
Yet another vicious blow to capitalism or something.
„Wer Schaden anrichtet, muss ihn auch begleichen.“
Occupy Camp Frankfurt Was Not For Nothing
Or so we are told. The movement has now merely become “invisible.”
Not even the most vehement anti-capitalist protesters can believe, I mean live, in this Dreck (crap) forever.
That is why German Police have now put up barricades around Camp Occupy (next to the European Central Bank headquarters) and are helping to carry out the last remaining activists for reintegration into that heartless, bourgeois world of showers, warm meals/beds and regular working hours (or at least that is their sincere hope).
But the movement will live on or something, albeit in a new “invisible” form. And I only find this appropriate as the movement’s arguments have been invisible from day one.
297 Tage existierte dieser utopische Zwergstaat im Zentrum der deutschen Finanzindustrie.
Where Have All The Occupiers Gone?
Wo sind sie geblieben?
Remember when an occupy camp used to be an occupy camp? When a man was a man and a woman was a woman and the occupy movement was a joke? Oh sure, it still is, but who cares anymore?
Now, at least for the occupy camp in front of the European Central Bank in Franfurt, “garbage, rats, social distress and addiction problems have pushed the captitalism protests into the background.”
We will yet overcome or something.
Müll und Ratten sowie soziale und Suchtprobleme haben den kapitalismuskritischen Protest längst in den Hintergrund gedrängt.
