25 December 2023: Five German News Stories

 1.  Some top-level Focus news piece...'Zombie Deer Virus'.  You can read the piece here.

The basic story....some US researchers have discovered this 'wasted-virus' where deer in the Yellowstone Park are showing a pretty harsh decline in a period of a couple of months, and they think the 'mad-cow' like virus could spread to humans. 

The odds of this being man-made and dumped in the park?  Well...no facts but it's odd how it just appeared, and this is a pretty remote part of the US.  

German worry?  Plenty of deer running around in Germany, and maybe it's being passed around?

2.  Koln police say the planned Jihadist terror attack (planning stopped)....was supposed to be at the Koln Cathedral. 

3.  Poll done by ARD TV (public TV folks) says 41-percent of Germans expect a worse economic situation in 2024.

4.  The president of the German military reservist association has openly said that the current numbers need to be tripled over the next decade.

5.  Lot of flood chatter across various areas of Germany this AM (Christmas).
