Five German News Stories

 1.  In my local area (Wiesbaden)....city officials late yesterday (24th) put out a warning NOT to go to any of the city emergency rooms because of a limited staff, high sickness rate, etc....UNLESS you are in a dire emergency.  

2.  New incoming ARD (public TV, Channel One) chief says: "We don't talk to each other anymore."

Tom Buhrow also said: "The idea that we must agree at some point?  No, you don't have to."

Several suggestions that he's going to reform ARD/ZDF in some fashion.  

3.  Some piece on N-TV this AM....suggesting that various people within the Kremlin circle have kept problems out of the sight of Putin, and he may not be in full view of what's going on in the country.

4.  'Last Generation' activists had some kind of plan to disrupt the Christmas eve service (to have been broadcasted via ARD).  Cops 'knew' of the interruption-event (begs questions how).

ARD and the church instead...had a pre-practice event staged on Friday, and taped it.  That was what was used for the Saturday evening TV showing.  Activists arrived at the church in question.....to find it closed on Saturday evening.  

The odds that their cellphones and e-mails/chats are being monitored?  I'd give it a 99-percent possibility.  I don't think the activists are smart enough to realize the amount of open 'talking' they are doing or the possibility of undercover agents within their group.  

5.  This 69-year-old French guy who wounded three and killed three in Paris....in the Muslim community....has been referred to a mental ward.  A lot of destruction from riots yesterday (Sat).
