25 May 2024: 3 German News Stories

 1.  Couple of days ago....up on the vacation isle of Sylt...where usually only well-to-do Germans go to vacation and hang-out....a couple of folks  gathered up at a 'pub'....probably had a few beers, and then got into antisocial behavior....uttering 'auslanders aus' (foreigners out).  The trouble is....this was on some video, and was seen by a lot of people.

Criminal charges now filed against the guests of the place?  Yeah.  

Almost all of the political folks have staked out a position on this via social media....against the right-wing radicals.

The odd thing?  Maybe it's just me....but the isle and 'pub'....aren't where working class Germans go (the typical people who affix themselves to the right-wing stuff).  These folks probably are well-to-do and never associated themselves with right-wing radicals.  

So on a drunken behavior game?  Well....I hate to suggest it....but yeah. And this turning into a top news item over five days?  Yeah....that's the other odd feature of this.  

2.  Putin's crew arresting generals?  If you follow the past week....there's been a trend building up.  At some point....I would imagine a coup will take place....which may collapse very easily, or successfully work.  

3.  German federal police (according to WELT) are holding security talks of some type with about 50 German companies that say they are being targeted by radical environmental movements/gangs/clubs. 

No one is saying the names of either the commercial operations or groups, but one might get the impression that 'threats' are being conveyed, and this might be dragged into court....with jail time for environmentalists.

On the weird index....yeah, this will turn into a pretty messy affair, if arrests are made and court sessions are staged.
