Hehe. Achse des Guten has this today:


Central council without Jews

A board member told me that half of his Jewish community wanted to vote for the AfD. The Central Council of Jews called for a fight against this party. Find the mistake.

A few days ago I met an old friend who was a board member in a Jewish community in Germany. I keep further details to myself because I know about the rigidity and vindictiveness of the members of the “Central Council of Jews in Germany”. We talked about the situation of his congregation, about the decline in membership, the emigration of young people who are tired of being used as decorations for state funeral and memorial events, while in truth nothing is being done for them. The Central Council used the money paid by the Federal Government for itself and its self-image, for the maintenance of its apparatus and its functionaries. The mood in his community is desolate, said my friend, one does not expect anything good from the established parties. About half of the members would vote for the AfD on September 26th.

Meanwhile, the “Central Council of Jews in Germany” feels obliged to call for the fight against this very party. His latest statement after the federal election calls for "banishing the AfD from the Bundestag and from all state parliaments." We do not want to dwell on little things like the one that reveals an embarrassing lack of understanding of democracy, "banishing a democratically elected party from parliaments." " to want. Amusing choice of words: the ban, in Hebrew cherem, actually existed in Judaism, it was pronounced by rabbis and boards against apostates, lawbreakers and heretics. Today, in the age of many pluralistic communities, it is ineffective. The Central Council, programmed entirely for rigid centralism, has evidently not yet understood this.

He would then also have to "banish" a considerable part of the members of his communities, because the AfD is elected by many German Jews. They see it as the only party that names and addresses their most existential problem: the threat to German Jews from militant Muslims. There are still around 9,300 Jewish children in Germany, and the trend is falling, thanks to the inability of the highly endowed Central Council to secure a future for the communities under its control. These few thousand young Jews face half a million to a whole million young Muslims, in schoolyards, in local transport, in public spaces. Without bodyguards and armored limousines, as the Central Council officials claim for their protection. If it goes on like this, the Central Council's problem with the AfD will be superfluous because there are no longer any Jews in Germany who could vote for this party. And the Central Council is allowed to devote itself entirely to its perceived task: to be the mouthpiece of the federal government, to sit on its feet for further instructions.

Earlier today I heard a professor in German history telling about the creation of the State Germany- Among other things, he mentioned the predecessor who was a loose trade agreement between Prussia and 25 other states this was in 1867.

What he did not mentioned and which I would like to know is:

Where does the word Deutsch come from ?

German: ethnic name given in areas of mixed population to inhabitants speaking German rather than a Slavic language, from German Deutsch German (Middle High German tiu(t)sch, Old High German diutisk, from diot, deot, ‘people’, ‘nation’, from a Germanic root theudo).
Theudo also refers to Teutons (Teutonen), and then there's the Teutoburg and the Teutoburger Wald (forest), where the Romans have been beaten repeatedly
"..eu.."´spoken like "ewe" in english sounds " ..oi.." in german.
Angles and Saxons were also germanic tribes.

Austrian blogger Andreas Unterberger writes:

Since Austria is economically highly dependent on what is going on in Germany without being able to influence them, it can now only hope after the elections: firstly, that Germany will soon get a functioning government, secondly, and even more so, that this government recognizes the dangers the German ship is heading towards and threatens to crash.

Above all, it would be necessary to have the courage to change fashionable but wrong decisions again. The most important of these concerns above all energy. We are permanently confronted with a global and dramatic energy shortage, which has been significantly exacerbated by Germany's previous policies.

The steep rise in electricity and gas prices is the forerunner of a great crash. The gas supplies are sinking in almost all storage facilities. And in more and more third world countries, power shutdowns due to a lack of energy are already increasing.

The causes of this development are not evil conspiracies in Russia. These are above all the revival of the world economy after two years of disaster, the sustained growth of the world population, the legitimate claim of underdeveloped peoples to participate in global prosperity and the simultaneous politically motivated restriction of more and more types of energy generation, especially in Germany.

If Europe's previous economic leader, in addition to this global crisis, turns off both nuclear and coal-fired power plants in the next few years, if more and more cars are powered by electricity, then this can never be compensated for by solar panels and windmills.

It is not just about defending the current level, it is also about enormous challenges for the billions of people from all over East and South Asia, it is about major new investments that must be decided now. In the steel and automotive industries, for example, they will all migrate from Germany and Europe without a secure energy base. The situation is even more dramatic for the chemical industry: By 2045, it expects an energy requirement that corresponds to Germany's entire current consumption. All of Germany, mind you, and not just today's chemical consumption!

So far no signs of intellectual healing in Germany. Maybe people have to get it really hard and brutal in the face and hit the bottom of reality soaking with blood in order to come to their senses again. We have real big problems now with stabile power and hetaing, the costs are exploding, and no, that is not just the evil Russians, that is home-made, and ideologically commanded.
Dämliche Trottel.

Oh dear, got drugged again, Catfish? Be patient, that too will pass, then you feel better again.

[Catfish]

Oh dear, maybe read something else than populist blogs like "Achgut"?

I know whom I can read at the Achse and whom not, they are a mixed bag.

But you, Catfish, specifically implied that Henryk Broder does Nazi stuff and talks their interests. And that is a malicious lie of you. You are not the first doing that, and you are not any less wrong than your left and politically correct predecessors. But if it is against an opponent of the left and politically correct Zeitgeist, anything goes, eh? No rules attached...?

What about PI News? The current populist "ZEITGEIST" is to please the right wing because ordinary life seems so boring. Conspiracy theories everwhere. It's hip to be right wing, to please the AfD, to be against immigration no matter what exactly, and generally to use right wing fake news to discredit neutral media and rational thinking and common sense, and especially science, with some cloudy misguided nationalism as an Ersatz for pride or whatever some people miss in their life.

Broder mixes some truth with massive bullsh!t and provocation, and he's clever with this, i'll give you that. Some people still see through the bullsh!t but Broder gets more attention than he deserves.

Yes he used to have some good points too, but he is getting more off his trolley with the years passing.

I forgot. Not complying with the lefty Zeitgeist and the left leaning establishment opinion = Nazi.

And the TAZ not liking him? What a loss. You forgot Claudia Roth, she does not like him, too. And all the many others of her likes.

The left and the Islamophiles and the Merkel halflings. Who does not agree with their marvellous socialist agenda, is a Nazi, a racist, an Islamophobe and God knows what. Hamed- Abdel-Samadh? Islamophobe. Seyran Ates? Islamophobe. Ralph Giordano? Racist. Ayaan Hirsi Ali? Islamophobe AND racist. Bassam Tibi? Stupid. Necla Kelek? Stupid, racist and islamophobe. They all seed hate and racism, becasue they do not believe in stupid illusions and uneducated lies, but know the topics by their biographies and professions way much better than the do-gooders.

Yeah, sure. All Nazis. Ask the commie-paper TAZ. They know it.

After 8 days in which the Greens, FDP, SPD and CDU/CSU talked in all possible 1-on-1 combination to see what is possible, the kingmaking small parties Greens and FDP will start negotiations for a 3-party coalition with the SPD.


If they overplay their cards, there is still a chance for ANOTHER 4 years of big coalition of SPD and CDU.


Meanwhile energy prices over here become unaffordable, and coal has a come-back, an expensive one. The last three of once 25 nuclear powerplants nevertheless should be switched off next year. With no replacement for their then missing capacities.



Not just a wrong sequence of steps (first abandon nuclear, then start to realise alternatives in sufficient capacity). Also the wrong goal (end of nuclear power), embedded in a context of even bigger misled, unrealistic goals (climate policy, EU "Green Deal").


That the wind did not blow enough and the sun did not shine sufficient this year, is nobody's fault, and could not have been taken into account preemptively. Impossible to forsee that. Absolutely. How could one imagine that in advance...?



This is what you get if the superminds of the planned economy elite has its ways. We better get used to it, they will not voluntarily go away after having marched on the seats of power since my school days. And there are still some functional things left that can be broken, and other home-made crisis could be so much further deepened.


It aint not broken until it is all and completely broken. Take a bigger hammer, if you get impatient.

Bombastic news: EON,one of Germany leading energy providers, has stopped offering contracts to new gas customers. It says the market situation forces the ocmoany to no longer accept new customers for gas supply.



EON provides energy to 21 million Germans, that is roughly one quarter of the German total population.


While this still is not the beginning of Ragnarök, it shows where the voyage is heading if the super-dooper-mega stupid german energy policies do not get fundamentally corrected at the very basic root level already. I mean I know no other industrialised country that affords such a maximum incompetent energy policy, as Germany - for nothing but ideology and intellectual stupidity and in total denial of the international realities all around.



Vollpfosten.



And no, it will not get better next years, "after corona". Coropna we will ge tiver with, but the insane energy policies will worsten. And wantedly so.



VOLL-PFOS-TEN.
