The Palestinian Health Ministry accused Israel on 7 August of preventing the entry of over a million desperately needed polio vaccines into the Gaza Strip.
“The Gaza Strip needs 1.3 million doses of polio vaccine … Israel is still refusing to allow vaccines into the Strip,” said Musa Abed, Director of Health Care at the ministry.
“The risk of the spread of the polio virus in the Gaza Strip still exists in light of the ongoing Israeli aggression and the deprivation of the population of public hygiene tools. Any delay in the supply of vaccines would exacerbate the already poor health conditions and have serious repercussions on the health of children and vulnerable groups such as the elderly and the sick,” Abed added.

Infectious diseases have been spreading rapidly across the Gaza Strip as a result of Israel’s genocidal war and the internal displacement of nearly two million Palestinians.
A video showing Israeli soldiers sexually assaulting a Palestinian prisoner from the Gaza Stirp in the notorious Israeli detention camp Sde Teiman leaked on August 7.
The footage from surveillance cameras, first aired by Israel’s Channel 12, shows a group of Israeli reservist soldiers picking a detainee out of more than 30 others, who are all laid on the ground blindfolded. The detainee is then taken to a corner.
“It is clear that they know about the surveillance cameras, and try to hide their act with shields,” the news channel said in a report. “The video contains documentation of the felony of the reservists: the act of sodomy in these circumstances.”
The report added that the detainee was bleeding and was taken to hospital after several hours, where his condition was described as “complex.”
“The injury was caused by the insertion of an object,” the channel said, quoting a medical report.
Following the arrest of nine soldiers for committing the sexual assault on July 29, Israeli right-wing protesters, including politicians, broke into two military bases in southern and central Israel. Israeli military prosecution claims it is still investigating the incident, but has not filed any charges against the accused.
A report released by the Israeli rights group B’Tselem on August 5 accused the Israeli military of following a systematic policy of prisoner torture since the start of the war on Gaza. The report detailed allegations that prisoners were subjected to arbitrary beatings, degrading and humiliating treatment and sleep deprivation as well as “the repeated use of sexual violence, in varying degrees of severity”.
The group said that the report was based on interviews with 55 Palestinians from Gaza, the West Bank and Israel detained in Israeli prisons since the October 7 Hamas-led surprise attack that set off the war, most of them without being tried.
“The testimonies clearly indicate a systematic, institutional policy focused on the continual abuse and torture of all Palestinian prisoners held by Israel,” the report said.
“The overall picture indicates abuse and torture carried out under orders, in utter defiance of Israel’s obligations both under domestic law and international law,” it added.
It’s worth noting that Israel has killed nearly 40,000 Palestinians since the start of the war on Gaza, with women and children making up the majority.
The leaked sexual assault footage and B’Tselem’s report attracted minimum attention from the mainstream media in the West, and no seriouse condemnation from Israel’s allies. It’s worth noting that Palestinian rights organizations and activists have been reporting similar information since the start of the war, to no avail.
The attack was set for June 1945, according to transcripts of interrogations of a senior Nazi official, declassified by the FSB
Adolf Hitler planned to use nuclear weapons against the USSR in June 1945, according to a transcript of testimony by Werner Waechter – a close associate of Nazi Germany’s propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.
The declassified document has been published by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB).
The unsealing of the testimony coincides with the 79th anniversary of the US nuclear bombing of Hiroshima, Japan at the end of World War II.
According to photocopies of the documents related to the case of the former Nazi official, the nuclear strikes were to be carried out using “very long-range bombers capable of bombing the military construction centers of the Soviet Union in the Urals.”
In his testimony in October 1945, Wachter told Soviet investigators that he had learned of the development of atomic weapons from an Nazi engineer in 1943, who told him that German scientists had “succeeded in splitting the atomic nucleus and that engineers were developing methods and techniques for the practical use of atomic energy as a means of warfare.”
In the late 1930s, German scientists had discovered the fission of uranium atoms and made major contributions to the foundations of atomic physics. Nazi Germany was the first country to launch a project focused on the creation of an atomic bomb.
Wachter also said that, in 1945, the editor of the secret government bulletin, Hans Hertel, told him that the German Ministry of Armaments was preparing to use an atomic bomb, which it planned to equip on board “aircraft of the latest design” that were stationed at an airfield near the town of Celle in north Germany.
While Wachter said he was unsure of the precise date for the planned nuclear strike, he believed June to be the most likely time for Hitler to deploy the new weapon, especially given that Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels had ordered the preparation of a special horoscope for the fuhrer for that month.
The Third Reich regularly used astrology as a means of propaganda to craft predictions of future events and disseminate them among the population.
As noted by the FSB, Hitler’s plans to use a nuclear weapon against the USSR were ultimately foiled in May 1945, when Soviet forces took Berlin and forced Nazi Germany to surrender.
While Germany was the first to attempt the creation of a nuclear weapon, the project was never finished.

The US, on the other hand, managed to develop the bomb by the end of the war and became the first and only country to ever use it in an armed conflict, infamously dropping two nuclear bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and August 9, 1945 – 79 years ago.
The strikes killed more than 200,000 people, mostly civilians.
Willkommen zum Nachtflug-Spezial mit Dr. Ralph Schöllhammer! Der Politik-Experte befasst sich dabei mit Themen wie der US-Wahl, den Unruhen in Großbritannien sowie den Nationalratswahlen in Österreich.

eXXpressTV/eXXpressTV
Während die reguläre Nachtflug-Sendung eine kurze Sommerpause macht, bleiben wir am Ball. Dr. Schöllhammer diskutiert die neuesten politischen Entwicklungen, reagiert auf Ihre Zuschriften und beleuchtet wichtige Themen. Heute geht es um die Vizepräsidentschaftswahl in den USA, die Unruhen in Großbritannien und den bevorstehenden Wahlkampf in Österreich
Lundi 29 juillet, un Rwandais de 17 ans a tué trois enfants et blessés grièvement dix autres personnes, dont huit enfants, dans un centre de loisirs de Southport, au Royaume-Uni.
La veillée d’hommage aux victimes organisée le lendemain du drame par les familles s’est rapidement transformée en émeutes, marquées par des affrontements avec la police, des véhicules incendiés, des jets de briques sur une mosquée de la ville et des commerces ethniques lapidés. La majorité des émeutiers portait des masques. Sur certaines vidéos partagées sur les réseaux sociaux, on peut les entendre crier : « Anglais jusqu’à la mort. » La police locale soupçonne les manifestants d’être des « soutiens » de l’English Defence League de Tommy Robinson. Les secours locaux ont indiqué avoir pris en charge « 39 patients au total, tous des officiers de police ». 27 d’entre eux ont été hospitalisés.
La réaction du Premier ministre britannique, le travailliste Keir Starmer, était hautement prévisible : « Ceux qui ont détourné la veillée des victimes avec de la violence et de la brutalité ont insulté la communauté dans son deuil. Ils subiront toute la force de la loi », a-t-il écrit sur X. Sa ministre de l’Intérieur, Yvette Cooper, a de son côté dénoncé des « scènes honteuses ». Elle s’est dite « consternée que la police puisse être la cible de violences [alors] qu’elle mène une enquête criminelle urgente ».
Un article de mars 2018 du Sunday Mirror rapporte qu’en toute impunité, un gang de Pakistanais a violé et prostitué jusqu’à 1 000 jeunes filles, la plupart d’origine européenne, en l’espace de plusieurs décennies dans la ville de Telford. Les abus se poursuivent encore en 2018, soit 40 ans après les débuts estimés du réseau, ciblant des victimes dès 11 ans
En juillet 2022, une commission d’enquête a conclu que la police et le Conseil municipal de la ville ont « ignoré » ces centaines de viols et abus en tous genres par crainte d’être accusés de racisme et, comme l’a souligné la BBC, « d’exacerber les tensions raciales » au Royaume-Uni en raison de l’origine extra-européenne des criminels impliqués dans ces faits.
Le chef de police adjoint du comté a déclaré à la commission : « Je voudrais dire que je suis désolé. Désolé pour les survivants et tous ceux qui sont touchés par l’exploitation sexuelle des enfants à Telford. Bien qu’aucune corruption n’ait été constatée, nos actions sont loin d’avoir apporté l’aide et la protection que vous auriez dû recevoir de notre part, c’était inacceptable, nous vous avons laissé tomber. Il est important que nous prenions maintenant le temps de réfléchir de manière critique et attentive au contexte du rapport et aux recommandations qui ont été faites. »
De son côté, le Conseil municipal de la ville a également présenté ses excuses.
Parmi les révélations de l’enquête, on apprend que ces divers crimes sexuels ont été commis dans plusieurs commerces de la région de Telford notamment des boîtes de nuit, des restaurants et des établissements de vente à emporter.
Les gangs de violeurs disposaient d’un bâtiment dédié depuis de nombreuses années, que le président de la commission d’enquête a dénommé « la maison du viol ».
Quant à la question taboue de l’origine ethnique des criminels, le rapport met en lumière des témoignages suggérant que les hommes de type pakistanais n’étaient pas ciblés dans le cadre des enquêtes parce que cela aurait été « trop politiquement incorrect ».
L’un des témoins a affirmé que la police avait « peur de poser des questions trop ciblées » en raison de l’origine ethnique des personnes impliquées, craignant d’être qualifiée de raciste. L’enquête a également révélé que des filles avaient été menacées de mort « dans plusieurs cas », ainsi que leur famille, par leurs bourreaux si elles tentaient de mettre un terme aux abus. Ce fut le cas d’une certaine Lucy Lowe, assassinée au mois d’août 2000 avec sa mère, sa sœur et son enfant à naître.
La même enquête indique également que des souffrances inutiles et même des décès d’enfants auraient pu être évités si la police avait « fait son travail le plus élémentaire » en agissant sur les signalements de tels crimes. Pendant des décennies, l’exploitation sexuelle des enfants a prospéré à Telford et n’a pas été contrôlée en raison de l’absence d’enquête sur les délinquants et de protection des enfants.
Les conclusions du rapport ont également mis l’accent sur le fait que les enseignants et les travailleurs sociaux étaient découragés de signaler les abus et que les agences impliquées avaient refusé de considéré les rapports d’exploitation d’enfants comme de la prostitution enfantine. À ce titre, le président de la commission a déclaré que la police avait « fermé les yeux et choisi de ne pas voir ce qui était évident ».
Cette situation d’inaction de la part de la police a ainsi contribué à « encourager » les agresseurs des années durant dans leurs prédations.
Neo-Nazi forces naively believe that, by using the border between Sumy and Kursk, they will be able to inflict harm on the Russians.
The recent Ukrainian attack on Russia’s Kursk region showed that the Kiev regime is beginning to focus its northern efforts outside the Kharkov-Belgorod friction zone. Since the beginning of the Russian military operation in Kharkov, the possibilities of land sabotage against the undisputed territory of the Russian Federation have decreased significantly, which is why the Ukrainians are having to update their military plans. Furthermore, there has been pressure from fanatical neo-Nazi militants for Kiev to attempt to capture the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant in order to blackmail the Russians in the disputed Zaporozhye oblast.
Kiev’s forces launched a land incursion against Kursk on August 6. The operation was a true strategic disaster, resulting in the rapid neutralization of enemy units by Russian forces. More than 260 Ukrainian soldiers were eliminated, in addition to 50 Western vehicles destroyed. Along the way, the Ukrainians murdered civilians, destroyed non-military infrastructure, vandalized Orthodox churches and even injured innocent children. No truly strategic objective was achieved by the Ukrainians, who are now leaving the operation absolutely defeated. There are still hostilities in regions close to the border, but the situation is reasonably under control.
It is curious to think what the reasons would be for the Kiev regime to launch an operation in Kursk precisely at a time when Ukrainian forces are seriously weakened on the battlefield. With a reduced number of weapons and personnel to confront the Russians, it does not seem to make any sense that there would be a large-scale effort to attack the Russians in a region outside the areas of territorial interest. Rationally, at this point, Kiev’s forces should be retreating from Donbass to relieve constant military pressure, build up reinforcements, replace personnel, receive aid and resume actions on the front lines – not trying to open another front in a region far from the areas of interest.
However, as we well know, rationality and strategic mentality are not the main factors in the Ukrainian military decision-making process. Being just a proxy and without any sovereignty, Ukraine is not able to choose what is best for itself, having only the obligation to continue fighting “until the last Ukrainian”. In this sense, for this suicidal struggle to be viable, it is necessary to continue with the only enabler of the war: military assistance from the West.
Western public opinion is increasingly less confident in any possibility of Ukrainian victory, which has been a problem as ordinary people no longer want to see their taxes spent uselessly on an endless war. So, Ukraine needs to be constantly renewing its war propaganda through maneuvers that promote “media hype”, making Westerners believe that it is “still worth” supporting the regime.
Until then, the focus of these propaganda attacks was the Russian region of Belgorod, but Moscow’s recent operation in Kharkov made it impossible for Ukrainian land incursions to continue. So, Kiev’s new strategy will certainly be to promote terror in the neighboring region, Kursk, using the Sumy border, where the Russians currently have no infantry positions.
Another possible scenario in these incursions is that the Ukrainians try to capture the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) in the future. Recently, pro-Ukraine militants have been posting open calls on social media for the bombing or seizing of the nuclear unit. Kiev could use this type of situation to try to blackmail the Russians about the ZNPP, proposing an “exchange” of plants.
Obviously, all these maneuvers will fail. Without sufficient military strength to carry out a prolonged attack and capture territory efficiently, Kiev will lose many men in land incursions and encourage the Russians to launch an offensive on Sumy. In the same sense, any nuclear provocation will be quickly neutralized, as Ukraine does not have the necessary military capacity to attack or capture KNPP.
In the end, this is just one of many suicidal and useless maneuvers by the Zelensky regime, the results of which will not bring any strategic benefit to the Ukrainian side. Even if Kursk suffers some damage in the near future, Russian victory is inevitable, with enemy provocations being just a kind of “transitory problem”, which will be quickly resolved.
It seems clear that the United States and its NATO allies wanted Russia to intervene militarily in Ukraine for the ulterior objective of inflicting a strategic defeat and thereby provoking regime change in Moscow.
It seems clear that the United States and its NATO allies wanted Russia to intervene militarily in Ukraine for the ulterior objective of inflicting a strategic defeat and thereby provoking regime change in Moscow.
The dramatic military escalation of U.S. and NATO involvement corroborates this view. The Western “noble narrative” about “defending Ukraine from Russian aggression” can be seen as merely a pretext.
Russian President Vladimir Putin justified the Special Military Operation that began on February 24, 2022, in the following words: “The purpose of this operation is to protect people who, for eight years now, have been facing humiliation and genocide perpetrated by the Kiev regime”.
One year later, knowing how right he was, Putin firmly reiterated: “They started the war.”
One can readily recall that the U.S. and NATO aid started with small arms, then heavy artillery, later tanks and armored vehicles. As the Ukrainian army wasn’t doing well on the front lines then there was a persistent talk about boosting Ukrainian air defenses and supplying the F-16 fighter jets.
Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin let the cat out of the bag when he spoke about “strategically defeating Russia”.
Since nothing like that objective eventuated and indeed Ukraine seems to be now rapidly losing the war, the Western public is beginning to hear “a nice story” about a possible peacemaker role of the U.S.
Thus, the Western media is reporting how presidential candidate Donald Trump held a recent phone call with the Kiev leader Vladimir Zelensky purportedly urging peace negotiations with Russia. The phrase was as follows: “Both sides will be able to come together and negotiate a deal that ends the violence and paves a path forward to prosperity.”
Still, the peacemaking process in Ukraine is not as simple as it is presented to the U.S. voters.
Incongruously, the Trump campaign is claiming the need for peace in Ukraine is real but the reason for it is the possibility of war in another place (that is, China).
What a “truly” peace-loving nation the United States is as it makes peace in one place to be ready for war in another part of the world!
So, apparently, the mantra of the U.S. and its European allies of “supporting Ukraine as long as it takes” may no longer be applied.
One of Trump’s powerful supporters, Eldridge Colby – possibly a future national security advisor to Trump – insists that China is the main threat to U.S. security and therefore peace must be made in Ukraine to prevent diverting resources for the presumed purpose of confronting China.
Only a few weeks ago, puzzled U.S. voters learned about stationing nukes in Germany. The justifications for placing short and medium range missiles which may be nuclear-tipped – reminiscent of the Cold War – somehow appears out of step with the touted end of war in Ukraine.
Back on 20 June, 2023, U.S. President Joe Biden stated publicly that Russia’s nuclear threat was “real.” Reading it, Americans presume instantly that the word “real” applied only to far away Ukraine and not the U.S. or Western Europe. After all, their way of thinking was: who would dare target the U.S.?
U.S. ruling elite deceived American public about confronting Russia in Ukraine
First, there was the usual “human rights and democracy” imperative. A lot of dubious claims (such as the Bucha Massacre, see this previous column) were made to discredit the Russian army for supposedly perpetrating human rights violations. There was, however, no reporting on well-documented conduct of genocide by the NATO-backed Kiev regime in the Donbass, Lugansk and Belgorod regions.
Many criticisms appear in the West about Russia’s democracy but nobody even mentions the glaring fact that Ukraine has an illegitimate president who cancelled elections in March and continues to rule by decree, propped up by Western patronage.
The fact that people are dying, getting wounded and suffer from extreme poverty in Ukraine seems utterly irrelevant to Western governments and their servile media. The highest-ranking military commanders like Lloyd Austin are enthusiastic about the war and yet are never questioned about the ulterior geopolitical motives.
After all, Austin (a former Raytheon executive) is a lobbyist for the military-industrial complex and has a vested interest in promoting war.
One pro-establishment lame assessment puts it the following way: “Although some may claim U.S. aid vanishes into a cesspool of unchecked Ukrainian corruption, one study has shown that 90 percent of Ukraine aid dollars are not actually sent to Ukraine after all. Rather, these funds stay in the U.S., where leading defense contractors have invested tens of billions in over 100 new industrial manufacturing facilities, creating thousands of jobs across at least 38 states directly, with vital subcomponents sourced from all 50 states.”
Those more curious among the U.S. public are told that the U.S. army allegedly suffers not a single military casualty during the war in Ukraine. Furthermore, it is pointed out that the United States is using only 5 percent of its national defense budget and less than 1 percent of total government spending in aiding Ukraine.
The American public was at first told about how “evil” President Putin was, then they heard non-stop foghorn condemnations of Russia’s Special Military Operation for allegedly being “unprovoked aggression”. But since the proxy is a losing prospect, there seems now to be attempts by the U.S. establishment to cast around for a peaceful exit from the mess that it created. This is where Trump comes in and his supposed talk about “negotiations”.
The problem is the deep propaganda hole that the U.S. and its NATO allies have dug for themselves. How to get out of that predicament?
On 26 March, 2022, President Biden, after speaking in Warsaw, sighed and said, unscripted: “For God’s sake, this man [Putin] cannot remain in power.” Later, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken being politically correct clarified Biden’s gaffe: “As you know, and as you have heard us say repeatedly, we do not have a strategy of regime change in Russia, or anywhere else, for that matter”. Apparently, Blinken wanted to forget about Vietnam, Chile, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria, to say the least.
In addition, on 24 February, 2022, during a White House press conference on the first day of Russia’s Special Military Operation, Biden said “sanctions were designed not to prevent invasion but to punish Russia after invading… so the people of Russia know what he [Putin] has brought on them. That is what this is all about.”
There is plenty of other evidence that the West wanted to make Putin move militarily into Ukraine for the objective of overthrowing him.
On 27 February, 2022, James Heappey, the-then British Minister for the Armed Forces, wrote in the Daily Telegraph: “His [Putin’s] failure must be complete; Ukrainian sovereignty must be restored, and the Russian people empowered to see how little he cares for them. In showing them that, Putin’s days as president will surely be numbered… He’ll lose power and he won’t get to choose his successor.”
On 1 March, 2022, a spokesperson for the-then British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the sanctions on Russia “we are introducing, that large parts of the world are introducing, are to bring down the Putin regime.”
How wrong have the Western elites been! The proxy war is an utter disaster for their regime-change plans. With factions of the imperialist elite viewing China as a more dangerous threat to their ambitions of global power, one anticipates that there will be a push to wind down the Ukraine debacle (as there was in Afghanistan in the summer of 2021 after 20 years of failure.)
Expect the Western media narrative to shift for preparing an exit
According to a poll in May 2023 for the Pew Research Center, the majority of U.S. adults had favorable views of Ukraine, as well as of the NATO, and had confidence in Ukraine’s leader, Vladimir Zelensky. At the same time, only a few had positive opinions of Russia or confidence in Putin. As many as 64 percent viewed Russia as an enemy to the United States, rather than as a competitor or partner.
U.S. public support for Ukraine has since waned. According to an April 2024 study, only 28 percent of Americans support increasing aid for Ukraine while in the most recent Economist/YouGov poll, 29 percent say the U.S. should decrease aid. Americans are also more likely to believe that Russia will be the eventual winner.
No doubt the realities of war fatigue have taken a toll on U.S. public forbearance, and, additionally, the supposed “noble narrative” of NATO involvement has worn threadbare.
However, as the disaster of the Ukraine proxy war looms larger, we will inevitably hear echoes of Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and so on. One can expect more U.S. media effort to persuade the American public that getting out of Ukraine is actually a good idea for the “sake of peace” and how such a magnanimous outcome will be “thanks” to the virtuous peacemaking influence of Washington.
The 1961 Berlin standoff between NATO and the Warsaw Pact countries is one of those pivotal moments that give us an insight into what preceded it and what has followed it right up to today.
The 1961 Berlin standoff between NATO and the Warsaw Pact countries is one of those pivotal moments that give us an insight into what preceded it and what has followed it right up to today.
The Battle of Berlin, we may recall, concluded on 2 May 1945, and the German Reich’s remaining troops unconditionally surrendered between 8 May 1945 (VE Day) and 11 May 1945, when over 600,000 Wehrmacht soldiers laid down their arms in Czechoslovakia. The situation, then, was that nothing short of nuclear war could stop the Red Army advancing all the way to the English Channel, and Hiroshima and Nagasaki were obliterated as American bluffs that there would be consequences for the Soviets, should they advance beyond the Elbe.
Stalin, as he smoked his pipe in far away Moscow, was not unaware of all these instances of American conniving. Italy was occupied solely by Western powers, bankrupt Greece, which foolishly wrote off Germany’s war-time reparations, was to suffer a horrific and totally avoidable civil war, fascist Spain was to be brought under the American umbrella and the French Army, which had been thoroughly trounced in 1940, was resurrected out of thin air and allowed occupy parts of Germany as a victorious power beholden to America.
Europe lay in ruins and the Americans launched their Marshall Plan, firstly, to keep the American economy, which the War rescued from the doldrums of the Depression, humming and, secondly, to allow Europe enjoy the crumbs of America’s new found prosperity as a means of making Communism anathema.
Although the world may have been at peace, America was not and her leaders remain as fixated on their goal of pushing the Soviets back from Berlin to well beyond Moscow, and the Russians remain as fixated on not being outflanked, as they were during the ’61 Berlin crisis, which arose because West Berlin was a pivotal NATO spy centre in the heart of East Germany.
Although the Berlin Crisis was the last major European political and military incident of the Cold War concerning the status of Berlin, and of post–World War II Germany, it was no means the last word on the matter and two famous speeches, one by POTUS JFK and the other by POTUS Ronald Reagan, are worth looking at to appreciate where we are and where we are going.
Civis Romanus Sum: Ich bin ein Berliner
Civis Romanus sum. I am a Roman. Such was the first memorable soundbite Jack Kennedy used in his famous Berlin address, and Ich bin ein Berliner, I am a Berliner, was the second. But, even though St Paul used Cicero’s famous retort on more than one occasion to evade crucifixion, it has to be stressed that the Romans were total and utter savages. Not only did they crucify Jesus but the X Fretensis and VI Ferrata legions, who were active in Greater Syria at the time, were so fond of tacking miscreants up that they often ran out of entire forests, never mind the wood for crosses to be found there.
And then there are Caesar’s Gallic wars, as well as Caesar’s self-serving spin on those acts of genocide. Caesar, who had no right to invade Gaul, slaughtered the Gauls in a text book genocide that would be familiar to any student of the United States of America, whose entire structure uses the rotten Roman Empire as its blueprint. If you go to Washington DC and cannot see the buildings that are modeled in Rome’s image and the hot air spouted by its politicians, who think they are Cicero returned from the dead, then you need both your eyes and ears tested.
And then we have Jack Kennedy’s Ich bin ein Berliner, I am a Berliner crap, which he spouted in 1963, a mere 18 years after the Battle of Berlin ended. If JFK had been referring to any of the combatants, who slugged it out on those streets during that battle, or any of the civilians, who had survived it, then his blarney might have made some sense. But no! He was saying that the residents of west Berlin in 1963 were the epitome of his American brand of democracy, freedom, Coca Cola, Disneyland and the San Fernando Valley’ s American way of life.
The truth of the matter is west Berlin in ’63 was a broken city, sustained only by the pfennigs the British, French and American troops, who occupied it, tossed to the locals, a good many of whom had moved there because Germany’s federal government made it an attractive option for students and hippies. The Federal Republic’s heart beat had moved elsewhere, to cities like Frankfurt, Munich and Cologne and well JFK and his hand-picked audience, who listened to his empty soundbites, knew it.
When JFK railed in that speech about democracy, freedom and progress, what he actually meant is that the American military occupation, which is ongoing in Germany to this day, would continue. When the former Hollywood actor POTUS Reagan made his famous speech on 12th June 1987 to an equally uncomprehending German audience, demanding that Gorbachev tear down some wall or other, he too meant that the American military occupation, which is ongoing to this day, would continue.
Not only does that occupation continue, but the Americans increasingly occupy what remains of the minds of most Germans. During the Cold War, which reached its peak at the time of the Berlin Crisis, Germans, particularly in Bavaria, were very opposed to their homeland being a parking lot for America’s nuclear arsenal on the very sound grounds that stationing such weapons of mass destruction there would necessitate a very robust Soviet nuclear response.
Though it was that fear of nuclear retaliation that led to the rise of the German Greens, the irony is that those CIA fifth columnists are now Germany’s chief cheerleaders for Armageddon. Given their rise to power, one has to wonder if there is any hope for Germany or, indeed, of the world this side of the Day of Judgment.
Germany allowed its American masters, together with Norway’s Quislings, to blow up their oil pipelines and thereby accentuate the self-deindustrialisation of their homeland. Post-war Germany, which once championed peace, now wants their American owners to station intermediate-range Tomahawk and SM-6 missiles, and even more hi tech hypersonic systems, on their home turf.
All very well, but as all of those put Moscow within range from Berlin, Putin and his chums cannot take any of that lying down. Whereas Stalin occupied the Baltics to stop Berlin outflanking Russia, it now seems Berlin is prepared not only to outflank Russia but to also go through the front door with its array of German-based American missiles.
The Berlin crisis is not over. Perhaps it could have been averted had Stalin overrun Finland and had Zhukov marched all the way to the English Channel. Who is to know? What we do know is that the High Command of the Russian Armed Forces are duty bound to protect, in good times and bad, the people of the Russian Federation no matter whether, as in the Berlin Crisis of ’61, that means de-escalation or, as it may mean in the months ahead, massive retaliation by wiping Berlin, the Greens and all of Germany off the global map once and forever.
Sie sparen an allem: Die finnischen Behörden wollen einigen Bürgern ihre Renten entziehen
Die finnische Regierung will die Renten für im Ausland lebende Bürger abschaffen, berichtet Salon Seudun Sanomat. Von dieser Maßnahme werden 24.000 Menschen betroffen sein.
„Die Regierung will die Zahlung von Renten im Ausland aus Spargründen abschaffen. Dem Gesetzentwurf zufolge werden durch die Aussetzung der Zahlung von Volksrenten an im Ausland lebende Menschen die Kosten für Volksrenten um etwa 38 Millionen Euro pro Jahr sinken“, heißt es in dem Artikel sagt.
