Deutsche Welle Firings Set Chilling Precedent for Free Speech in Germany

The headquarters of Deutsche Welle in Bonn, Germany Seven Arab and Muslim journalists have lost their jobs for the alleged “antisemitism” of criticizing Israel. The headquarters of Deutsche Welle in Bonn, Germany, LAST NOVEMBER, the German news outlet Südduetche Zeitung published a story examining instances of what it labeled “antisemitism” expressed by employees of the German government-funded news outlet Deutsche Welle (DW). One of the employees mentioned in the report was Maram Salem, a Palestinian from the Hebron area in the occupied West Bank who had been working for DW’s website since 2020. The report noted that during Israel’s bombing campaign targeting Gaza last May, Salem wrote on Facebook that she encrypts or deletes some of her posts because th...

There are no more shelters. Refugees are homeless, social welfare offices are at their limits. Employees and other helpers are hard to find. The refugee management of the governing mayor of Berlin, Franziska Giffey, has failed completely. Where are you sleeping tonight?” – “On the street,” a teenage girl who has fled Ukraine replies to me. Since Friday, there are no more quarters in Berlin. The capital is about to burst.

The crisis in Ukraine is not about Ukraine. It’s about Germany

An article by Mike Whitney dated 15 February 2022 reproduced from Global Research, with thanks. Although written before Russia commenced operations in Ukraine, it nevertheless is useful for drawing attention to US imperialism’s goading of Russia as a means of causing an irreparable rift between Russia and Germany in order to put paid to the NordStream 2 gas pipeline project. “The primordial interest of the United States, over which for centuries we have fought wars– the First, the Second and Cold Wars– has been the relationship between Germany and Russia, because united there, they’re the only force that could threaten us. And to make sure that that doesn’t happen” George Friedman, Stratfor CEO at The Chicago Council on Foreign Affairs. The Ukrainian crisis has n...

America Defeats Germany for the Third Time in a Century

BY MICHAEL HUDSON Photograph Source: Travis Wise – CC BY 2.0 How the MIC, OGAM and FIRE Sectors Conquered NATO My old boss Herman Kahn, with whom I worked at the Hudson Institute in the 1970s, had a set speech that he would give at public meetings. He said that back in high school in Los Angeles, his teachers would say what most liberals were saying in the 1940s and 50s: “Wars never solved anything.” It was as if they never changed anything – and therefore shouldn’t be fought. Herman disagreed, and made lists of all sorts of things that wars had solved in world history, or at least changed. He was right, and of course that is the aim of both sides in today’s New Cold War confrontation in Ukraine. The question to ask is what today’s New Cold War is trying to change ...

Air Force Told Mother of Drone Critic That ISIS Is After Her

BY LAUREN WALKER Former U.S. drone pilot Brandon Bryant is questioned as a witness by the NSA investigative committee in Berlin on October 15.AP/BERND VON JUTRCZENKA Former U.S. drone operator Brandon Bryant testified before the German Parliament about the role the U.S. air base in Ramstein, Germany, plays in the U.S. drone program. Hours later, Shadowproof reported, two American Air Force officers showed up at the house of Bryant's mother in Missoula, Montana, to inform her that she was on the "hit list" of the Islamic State militant group (ISIS), which Bryant's attorney is calling a clear sign of whistleblower intimidation. Bryant, now an outspoken critic of the U.S. drone program, left the Air Force after what he described as a moment of moral clarity. "We were hunt...

Democracy is as Fragile Now as it was During My Father’s Time in Weimar Germany

BY PATRICK COCKBURN Photograph Source: Daniel Lobo – CC BY 2.0 In Berlin in 1927, my father Claud Cockburn experienced a peculiarly depressing Christmas day when he shared his dinner with a dog. I was thinking about this last week as an antidote to gloom over the advance of the Omicron variant and the prospect of further restrictions on the way. Irritating complications hindering my family’s Christmas plans appeared trivial by comparison. After leaving university, Claud had won a travelling fellowship from Queen’s College, Oxford, which he believed would give him just enough money, when supplemented by meagre journalistic earnings, to live in Berlin for a couple of years. But as Christmas approached at the end of the first year, he realised that he had miscalculated...

The Origins of Germany’s Anti-Vaxxers

BY THOMAS KLIKAUER – CATHERINE LINK Photograph Source: 7C0 – CC BY 2.0 Germany’s anti-vaxxers have become more violent in recent months. In September 2021 the shooting of a petrol station attendant occurred. The young service station operator had simply asked an anti-vaxxer to wear a mask; in November 2021, anti-vaxxers sprayed the Nazi-like slogan Impfen Macht Frei at a local school in Germany’s south-western state of Baden-Württemberg. It was a rumination of cynical Nazi slogan Arbeit Macht Frei (work makes you free) placed on German concentration camps; in December 2021, anti-vaxxers held a Nazi-style torch rally at the house of a heath minister. Yet, German anti-vaxxers go back a long time. In many German...

Germany’s Traffic Light Coalition Blinks Green for NATO Hostility to Russia

By Finian Cunningham | Strategic Culture Foundation The new German coalition government headed up by Chancellor Olaf Scholz is only one week in power but already the signals are pointing to Berlin being more amenable to U.S.-led NATO hostility towards Russia. The “traffic light” coalition (based on party colours) comprises the Social Democrat Party led by Scholz in partnership with the Greens and pro-business Free Democrats. Scholz gave an inaugural address to the Bundestag this week as the new chancellor having replaced Angela Merkel of the Christian Democrats after her 16 years in power. Following Merkel’s reign, which was hallmarked by stability and her dominant personal style, all eyes will be on the new government in Berlin and its impact on transatlantic rela...
