Q-and-A

 1.  What 'encouraged' people around Europe (not just Germany) to look at alternate news sources, involving differing views and aspects, and bringing potential propaganda into their living room?

I would suggest in the past twenty years....a theme by the original news 'crowd' of one message or a single interpretation of events....led people to be more skeptical and asking for a alternate view of matters.

Social media fell into play....offering a 'vehicle' to deliver it to your front doorstep.

As much as the original team wants to correct this and put the fake news or alternate news out of business....they would have to correct the one message syndrome.  Without the correction or telling both sides of a story....this correction business will fall flat.

2.  Will fighter jets ever be 'gifted' from NATO countries to the Ukraine?

On my betting agenda, this would be a one-in-ten-thousand situation.  I think most every country sees this as a problem, and encourages Ukraine into crossing the border into Russia, thus escalating the war.  So, this will end up as a high-chat situation but no one will ever deliver fighter jets to the Ukraine.

3.  How did the CDU Party gain votes in the Berlin election from this past Sunday?

Well....it's interesting to look at the graphic chart.  The right-of-center CDU got votes from literally all five alternate parties.

60k voters from 2021's election for the SPD.....crossed the line and voted CDU.  From the Green Party?  17k.  From the Linke Party, 11k.  

Analysts suggest a sour view from the general public of the city....over how things have progressed in the past 18 months.

4.  Is there a QAnon Party organizing in Germany?

Well....RBB (public TV for Berlin) suggests that a initial party meeting is up on the schedule in the Falkensee area.

However, the group is trying to say this meeting is purely social in nature.  

If you asked me on interest in Germany in the 'cult-like' group....I'd say it's less than 2,000 people over the entire country.  It wouldn't shock me if 200 folks showed up at the party meeting, and half were journalists from the public TV networks....acting as fake interested parties.

5.  All of these 450-odd ballots found in the post office in Berlin....to be counted now....were mail-in situations?

Yes.  These were people who were going to be on vacation, or in a hospital, or unable to vote on that Sunday.  So they asked for a early ballot, and mailed it via the postal system. 

I should add....no one at this point thinks any of this 450-odd ballot thing is a fraud.
