Q-and-A

 1.  What'd the EU say about Musk and Twitter at the WEF forum.....that sanctions may come if he does not shut down 'some' forms of speech?

What Věra Jourová mostly said....either he'd comply or they'd cut off Twitter access....IF they write this law. 

So what law?  Unknown, and anything that Twitter gets dragged into....you can expect most all newspapers, news networks (public and private)...to feel the same 'pain'.

I'd also offer....never once has she indicated what she wants to be shutdown or censored.  It seems to be mysterious in nature....if not shared among people.

Finally, with a simple VPN....you can defeat most of what they suggest, unless they want entire networks shutdown.  

It just sounds like a lot of intellectual BS....to protect people from propaganda.  

2.  This knife attack guy up in north Germany....just released prior to this train attack?

What the police say from the Hamburg region....he'd been held for some violent act, and then got released.  Based on how they describe the guy....I'd probably describe him as missing some mental abilities.  But typically....that's usually not enough to permanently hold a guy, unless the judge signs the papers.  I should note.....last year, he stabbed a guy.  Appears like he is mostly always violent in some way.

3.  Harsh article via WELT (by Jan Fleischhauer) on deportation efforts?

Well....what he pointed out....a number of German states are run by SPD, Green or Linke Party governments.  Their general policy is to delay deportation as much as possible.  

It is true....it's not a federal thing, here in Germany....deportation is handled 16 different ways.  Berlin trying to correct this with the fed?  No....they absolutely do not want the power to force deportation.

The tough part of this discussion....it's all being dragged out into public discussion once again, with some folks having to defend the lack of forced deportation (making it seem like a national problem).  

4.  Why is 'stateless Palestinian' uttered so much on public TV (ARD/ZDF)....concerning this knife guy on the train?

Well....some journalists are hyped-up to always say that  the Palestinians don't have a homeland.  I should add....the Hmong people fit into this idea....the Kurds fit....the Roma folks fit.  I would imagine in this frame of mind....the Scots of the UK might be homeless (if I were drunk enough), and maybe the Basque folks of Spain.  

But using the phrase would be like me saying 'short dwarfs' when the appropriate term would just be 'dwarfs' alone.
