1. Weather guy hyping up next week....snowfall in the region (central Germany), and temps near zero (32 F). Yeah, we typically don't get snowfall in November. I got the shovel out and restocked the salt bucket.
2. My village (4k residents) is undergoing a massive optic-fiber project. The company who bought the contract....signed up a Albanian crew (probably 40 guys) to rip up pavement, and run the fiber....all the way into each house.
So they did my house back in mid-August. This past week....they came to certify my 'quarter' as complete and operational. Well....the test phase failed. From my 'quarter'....according to the guy I was dealing with...around 100 houses failed. This meant that they had to re-visit....re-dig, and probably run new fiber.
The phone company guy was all positive that they'd have us hooked-up and running by June. I'm not that positive at present.
3. BSW Party dissolving away? This week....the party met and kinda dissolved their boss's name (Wagenknecht) from the party name. They are carefully easing her out.
If you ask me....when the Linke Party (far-left) voters left to BSW....it was a calculated gamble....thinking they could bring BSW to 5-to-8 percent of the vote (that failed, with 4-percent).
My prediction? By spring of 2027....I think BSW and Linke will have a talk and unify in some way....bringing the combined vote tally to around 15-percent....almost equal to the SPD Party.
4. Magdeburg is apparently going to deny the permit to operate a Christmas-fest operation...due to security concerns.
5. 11.5-billion Euro....amount that Germany has scheduled to 'give' Ukraine for aid.
6. Opening day of Magdeburg terror-attacker on trial...basically took 2 minutes for Abdulmohsen to openly confesses to his horrific crime. Then...things got weird.
He basically suggests that he has no real memory of the attack. Then he rambles on for about 90 minutes....discussing Voltaire as the first European critic of Islam, then he brings up alleged manipulation of citizens by the media, then he gets into a 'chat' about the definition of Enlightenment, then he got onto the topic of persecution of Muslims who turn their backs on the religion.
At some point.....he even suggests that former Chancellor Angela Merkel "sold out Germany." I hate to suggest it....but around AfD folks...probably 99-percent agree with the guy on that. Oddly, he doesn't detail how exactly the sell-out was manipulated.
Conspiracy theory chatter? Yeah, that came as well. He says the trial against him is some kind of major police scandal. "The police are hiding the truth," is uttered.
At some point...he uttered the idea that the SPD, CDU, and Green Party's as anti-German parties (yeah, stuff that a AfD guy would chat on it).
Basically....reading over the whole summary....the guy is a nut-case. Trying to say he can face justice....will be laughed at.
Script for a 4-star movie? I think you could easily build a 6-hour mini-series out of his life-story.
7. I read through a Focus piece this AM....on climate change. Discussion....without a radical change of course, the North and Baltic Seas of Germany are doomed to be uninhabitable as early as 2050.
Lot of hype....lot of BS....but you should get serious and start moving folks within 2 or 3 miles of coast....to somewhere else in Germany....making this zone 'forbidden' for humans.
Eventually...all these juveniles getting the new dose of reality....will believe it, and mandate entire coastal region as unlivable.
