A sea of tents sprawls over the US American airbase Ramstein (Germany, state of Rhineland-Palatinate) to host at least 20,000 Afghans; more likely 34,000 already. About a thousand arrivals land every day and the troops have moved a 5,000 of them to their nearby military base 'Rhine Ordnance Barracks.' The US works feverishly to expand its capacity there to host even 6,000 of them. And while many conservatives have dropped the ball in their obsession to exploit any failure of the Biden administration, the uneasy question who can be rescued, correctly identified and who can not remains unanswered. Commentator after commentator shows compassion with that 50% of women that will have to live under the Taliban despite the Pew Research finding that 99% of those very women want to live under shariah law. Everybody feels heartless asking how the other 1% can be identified so we don't import the very Taliban we once set out to fight. And now with the sprawling camp smack in the middle of Europe nobody knows how to get some of the "rescued" back home again. sources: https://www.tichyseinblick.de/daili-es-sentials/manche-us-fluechtlinge-aus-afghanistan-bleiben-in-deutschland/ https://www.tichyseinblick.de/kolumnen/knauss-kontert/afghanen-in-ramstein-deutschland-hinter-der-fichte/ [about the Court of Justice ruling*]https://www.zeit.de/gesellschaft/zeitgeschehen/2021-09/europaeischer-gerichtshof-asylantrag-minderjaehrige-fluechtlinge-eltern-nachzug-urteil https://www.bild.de/regional/hamburg/hamburg-aktuell/nordoestlich-von-hamburg-frau-23-in-ahrensburger-fluechtlingsheim-getoetet-77606234.bild.html https://www.bz-berlin.de/berlin/charlottenburg-wilmersdorf/messer-attacke-auf-gaertnerin-afghane-29-zunaechst-schuldfaehig [parliamentary correspondence on the number of army and foreign office cooperators 'Ortskraefte']https://dserver.bundestag.de/btd/19/054/1905454.pdf [thumb, Ramstein air base] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:C-130_and_Ramstein_AB_Control_Tower.jpg maps: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/Deutschland_politisch_2010.png/620px-Deutschland_politisch_2010.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/56/Germany_in_the_European_Union_on_the_globe_%28Europe_centered%29.svg/620px-Germany_in_the_European_Union_on_the_globe_%28Europe_centered%29.svg.png *CAVEAT: I didn't see an English source for the court ruling. ZEIT, a major German newspaper, does just write 'European court of justice' (europaeischer Gerichtshof) which could be wildly interpreted as any court in Europe. Without context, such as in this article, the expression is about the EU Court of Justice. But given that I cannot find an English source immediately chances are that ZEIT could have made a mistake. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKgS_xao03w

Police officers made a visit at Björn Höcke's home. The opposition leader in the parliament of the state of Thuringen is accused of having posted hate on social media. What is there to search in a home when the "crime" is committed on the internet? The officers just want to see if Björn Höcke's words were his own words and not maybe ... lock a squirrel! It is a classic example of intimidation and government overreach in Merkel's "best Germany we ever had." (note: That was her last election campaign slogan.) sources [consider the use of any of the innumerous online translation tools to verify what I say.]: https://www.op-online.de/politik/volksverhetzung-staatsanwaltschaft-thueringen-hausdurchsuchung-bjoern-hoecke-rechtsextremismus-zr-90657547.html https://www.faz.net/aktuell/politik/volksverhetzung-polizei-durchsucht-haus-von-bjoern-hoecke-17354609.html ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4LCbAMGnGw

People hate the media. Media dishonesty has accelerated considerably in the West since around 2015. The well-deserved loss of trust has made some jump onto the irrational assumption that whatever sounds the most remote from their media's explanation is the reality. This "logic" has absurd side effects such as the mainstream media still remaining the compass and the necessity to mirror their inconsistency whenever they knot their narrative into pretzel. At present, the need of finding a standpoint that looks - at first glance - like the most remote one from that of Western media, a variety of political influencers have blindly trusted Russian media. The irony is big, literally, since Russian propaganda is infamous for its absurd level of inconsistency. Konstantin Kisin gave an interview to Brandon O'Neill (Instagram: burntoakboy) for 'spiked.' For my video I slapped some illustrations on some audio excerpts.

As Europe boils over in the face of aggressive anti-Covid policies, more and more nations add pain to injury and roll out vaccine mandates. Olaf Scholz, the prospective Chancellor of Germany, has already stated his support for this. But what are the justifications for it? How do unvaccinated people affect others? And more importantly are these externalities, the effects of the citizens' decisions on others, big enough to warrant government interference? In my video I look at the heart of the controversy.
