7 Oct 2026: Germany: 8 Stories

 1.  Saxony-Anhalt: State parliament done....led by AfD Party and BSW Party.  CDU....almost non-existent.  Greens declare they are the absolute opposition to AfD.

2.  This Siberia-Crisis chatter with the plague....getting hyped in Germany to some degree.  

3.  "Day of Rage" declared by SPD Party against AfD Party.  News folks helping the agenda, but probably 50-percent of public aren't buying into the protest agenda.

4.  INSA poll (newest)...puts CDU-CSU at 17.5-percent.  SPD at 14.5 percent.  Together....they equal strength of AfD Party.  

If you divided the CDU-CSU up....CDU by itself would be around 14-percent (among 15 states).  

5.  Russian Chief Prosecutor....announced that there are Nazi elements in the Baltic area....encompassing Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.  To be honest, I generally include Sweden and Finland in the area as well.

BS?  Well...giving Putin the announcement....it'd open the door for drafting another 300k to 500k Russian guys for the Army and forward deploy them.  US/NATO reacting?  Yeah....but none of this really occurring in the next six months.

6.  France riots?  Continuing.

Classes cancelled for about 900 schools throughout France....mostly all highly urbanized areas.  Arrested on Tuesday: 488 activists/students.

7.  EU talking of bumping-up membership: Montenegro (likely to be entered by early 2028), Albania (has potential for 2028 as well), North Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia/Herzegovina, Ukraine (2028 possibility), Moldovia (2028 likely), Georgia (least likely of the eight).

German enthusiasm for the eight?  Marginal.  

8.  BND former chief (Germany's CIA)....under investigation.  What seems to be key to the BS....after he retired....he wanted consulting work to enlarge his retirement.  So he had all this history and insider knowledge to 'market'.  The problem here....if you start digging into consultant work....there's probably 10,000 former police, politicians, news media folks, etc....who market themselves with insider info. If you watch ARD/ZDF (the public TV folks)....they use such folks to hype a agenda that the networks market.
