Five German News Stories

 1.  Excellent piece via Focus this AM....talking about the Last Generation environmental activists.  Strongly recommend a read.

FDP Party individual who is also a psychologist....sat through a 4.5-hour seminar sponsored by the activist, and basically described the situation as a brain-washing episode.

Activists are taught that their actions 'fulfill' happiness.

In some ways, they've developed into a cult-like status.

2.  Some chatter going on about the Russian T-14 'super-tank', which might be soon deployed into the Ukraine war-front.  

Mid-summer last year, the production business had finished roughly 20 of these new generation tanks.  There was hype that over 2,000 of the tanks would be delivered by the mid-2030s.  

3.  There was a brief piece on N-TV news this AM....that around 60-percent of clinics in Germany are heavily into debt, and could possibly face bankruptcy in 2023.  Health Ministry taking some actions, but it may be too late.  Covid basically hyped-up the financial issues they were already facing.   

4.  If you pick up a Tuesday WELT, there's a piece discussing the number of Islamist threats in Germany (520 in number).  The Federal Police say it's lower than in previous years.  It does outnumber right-wing or left-wing extremists that they are currently monitoring.

5.  Poll done and reported via WELT....on German public opinion about immigration and asylum.  Roughly two-out-of-three Germans are pretty skeptical over the current program allowing asylum.  They aren't saying anything seriously negative....just that the current program isn't functioning as advertised.
