Long and heavy rainfalls have flooded Germany over the weekend. The most affected areas are the states Rhineland-Palatinate and North-Rhine Westphalia (NRW). 170 deaths have been confirmed, but many people are still missing. Naturally the politicization of the events is slow because even the most reckless players have an incentive not to appear too reckless and unconcerned about the plight of the people on the ground. But slowly media articles dribble down suggesting that this flood is a manifestation of the omnipresent man-made climate change. The New York Times offers additional humidity in warmer air as a reasoning. German magazine Focus expects ‘permanent rain and droughts’ to come. Both. Not much effort goes into sorting the logic out and to educate the public. In fact the New York Times mentioned explanation was crammed into a single sentence. Their readers are supposed to do all the education on their own.

120 “N”GOs Beg Government For Money
Because 200 million Euro tax money ain’t enough, 120 “N”GOs wrote an open letter to the Family Minister Franziska Giffey (Yes, that’s a thing and, yes, NGOs are supposedly part of her responsibility.). The letter reveals a lot about their mindset and gives me the opportunity to talk about the German deep state. A maze of innumerable “projects” and “initiatives” cross-fund each other so that nobody can ultimately tell what way the money goes. Rumors have it that they often make it into the hands of antifa and comparable terror groups that metastasize all around the world.

Sea Watch Captain Carola Rackete – Lock Her Up?
Alerted to medical predicaments of her passengers, Captain Carola Rackete navigated her ship into an Italian harbour without permission. Italien authorities have arrested her. She had consciously broken the law, but could she have avoided it? Probably not at that stage. But what let up to the situation? And what role in the big picture does she play? Should she still be punished for it? I confess that I don’t hold all the answers. An open talk.
