“Von nichts gewusst …”

“Unbewusst” in der NSDAP, n-tv, 30. Juni 2007:
Die Schriftsteller Siegried Lenz und Martin Walser sowie der Kabarettist Dieter Hildebrandt waren nach “Focus”- Informationen in ihrer Jugend als Mitglieder der NSDAP registriert. Das Magazin beruft sich in dem Bericht auf Unterlagen aus der Zentralkartei der Partei im Bundesarchiv in Berlin. (…)
Hildebrandt und Walser sagten dem “Focus”, [...]

“Europe fiddling while Rome burned”

US’s former ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday, he was “very worried” about the well-being of Israel.
“We have fiddled away four years, in which Europe tried to persuade Iran to give up voluntarily,” he complained. “Iran in those four years mastered uranium conversion from solid to gas and [...]

Angela Merkel topless in Poland

A Polish magazine shows Chancellor Merkel breast-feeding the Kaczynski twins. While several German politicians have already denounced the image’s “tastelessness”, the alleged (!) comment coming from the Chancellor`s office is:
“Wrong cup size!”
Cannot be topped.

Ray Drake of Davids Medienkritik has more information on the “Groundbreaking CBN Report on Anti-Americanism in European Media” and more. Don`t miss it!

Breaking news! Positive pics of American soldiers

I have just been watching “Tagesschau” on German TV and I could hardly believe my eyes. They have shown positive pictures of American soldiers who helped liberating almost starved children in an Iraqi orphanage. Heart-breaking pictures. I was watching with tears in my eyes.
Of course, I know that American soldiers have been helping Iraqi children [...]

Me anti-American? NEVER.

You can show me pictures of Abu Ghraib every day and every night, you can talk about Guantanamo 24 hours 7 days a week, you can blame America for all the evil in the world - you won`t make me anti-American.
I will always see the white crosses and the white stars of David [...]

Freedom of speech in the US - unlimited

It always makes me laugh when Germans worry about freedom of speech in the US. I think by now it has become a running gag. Especially if you look at what Democrat Tom Lantos said about former German Chancellor Schroeder:
“I referred to him as a political prostitute, now that he is taking big cheques from [...]

“Europe´s Anti-American Agenda”

I was quite surprised getting two emails today telling me I was on American TV. But it is true. Just watch Dale Hurd`s great and at the same time saddening report on anti-Americanism in Europe on CBN News here (and -please!- ignore my German accent).
