You post the same messages in multiple topics. You are nothing more but a spammer.

Okay, I’ve gently asked you @haze99 before along with @muck and now we’re getting reports from some about the constant spam.

@haze99: while you aren’t breaking any forums rules, please keep certain contents for specific topics otherwise you’re only going to p*ss off the community.

Hopefully you won’t ignore this one more time. Post whatever you please in the right topic and once is good enough.

Thanks.

Two news from Germany …

The German government has extended a formal invitation to Harvard University to establish a "campus in exile" here. (Source)

And it has delivered on its pledge to abolish the right of asylum seekers to bring their families to Germany. (Source)

Preliminary figures published last week show the first month of Merz's Chancellorship will see migration to Germany cut by 45%.

Imagine being so terrible at your job that a leftist magazine calls you out for it.

Annalena Baerbock has been the worst FM in the history of this country. In 2022, after she'd dropped all pacifist rhetorics and advocated standing up to Russia, I nourished a flicker of hope for some pragmatism on her part. But she was just awful, leaving the tax payer to suffer a huge bill and the after effects of hopelessly naïve politics. Now

A Berlin district court has told the German government to stop denying entry to asylum seekers arriving from other European countries. The government says it will ignore the court order as a mere case-by-case-decision, claiming it is in the right and that higher instance rulings will prove that. The Union of Federal Police Officers agrees. (Source)

Merz's coalition partners, who're queasy about regulating immigration, have yet to respond to this confrontational course. Of course, German media are already painting Merz as a Trump clone who defies court orders.

Another stabbing spree, this time in Munich, and again by a young woman with a history of schizophrenia. Several people have been injured. The assailant, a 30-year-old Bulgarian national, was shot dead by a cop. (Source)

Recently, the Minister of the Chancellery (basically Merz's chief of staff) said in a talk show that a database for potentially dangerous people with mental illnesses should be created to improve the flow of information; they nearly crucified him in the media, accusing him of borrowing from the Nazi's democide against the mentally ill.

The stats are here for the first month of Germany's new border regime: 36.5% fewer asylum seekers. (Source)

Overall, immigration has been lowered by 42.3%. Finally, a step into the right direction.

Germany has deported a 75-year-old Turkish female felon today. In 2022, the woman had caused the death of another Turkish-born elderly woman whilst the pair was quarantined in a hospital with Covid-19. Feeling "annoyed" by the other patient's breathing apparatus, she simply turned it off twice, killing the victim. After her conviction for manslaughter, the regional government decided to order the woman's removal from Germany, a decision upheld in court today.

The presiding judge noted that the defendant had completely failed to integrate herself in Germany, being unable to speak German after 46 years in the country, and showing no remorse nor respect for values other than her own. Responding to her lawyer's claims that she should not be deported due to her old age, the judge noted that the defendant has family members and a second residence in Turkey, and upheld the deportation order.

So many things wrong on so many levels …

The hospital should've been in the dock as well, by the way. Like stated, the defendant had turned the victim's breathing apparatus off twice. The first time it was noted by the night nurse, who simply cautioned the defendant not to do it again (!).

As personal commentary … Would anyone here want to live permanently in another country without being able to speak the local language? Don't get me wrong, maybe I also wouldn't bother to learn another language if my company sent me abroad for half a year, or something like that. But permanently? That'd be a horrendous experience in my books.

The Parallelgesellschaft (parallel society) at it's best. They simply don't need to speak the local language the most time. But I'd say at least it's a generational issue which is way more common with eldery people than with younger folks.
