#AfD is a party designated as a suspected #extremist organization by German #intelligence.

As the meeting evolved into a general gripe session, the AfD politicians told Samson, then 26, & several other #US diplomats that they feared #Germany’s government might ban their party, acc/to Mr. Paul & another person familiar with the conversation.

When Samuel Samson, a snr adviser at the #State Dept, sat down privately with #FarRight German lawmakers in an office just steps from the White House, he was breaking with history.

For 8 decades after WWII, the #US’ #ForeignPolicy establishment had usually steered clear of #Germany’s hard-right parties, seeking to ensure that they never seized power again. That changed under #Trump, leading last Sept to Samson’s meeting with Beatrix von Storch & Joachim Paul of Alternative for Germany, or #AfD.

April 18, 1929: On this date, Jean Jülich was born. At the age of 13 he joined the Edelweiß Pirates, an informal network of German youth with non-conformist to oppositional behaviors against the enforced social conformity of the Third Reich. Some Pirates engaged in active antifascist resistance, defacing Nazi posters, scrawling anti-Nazi graffiti, assassinating Nazi officials, & plotting to bomb the Cologne Gestapo headquarters. (1/7)

Americans, who pride themselves on freedom and democracy, are not allowed to leave the nation without permission.

Example: Americans cannot travel to #Germany without a passport, which is government permission to temporarily leave the country. Yet Americans say they are free.

None of the world governments offer true freedom. Only God offers true freedom, through Jesus Christ the Lord, who said:

My kingdom is not of this world.

#freedom #USA #Jesus

Wow, such democracy. Much freedom of movement.

Lichens indicate airquality and climateconditions. I found the #species below in #Jungfernheide #forest #Berlin. While #Parmelia #sulcata requires light, but is flexible, #Hypotrachyna #afrorevoluta needs warm, nitrogen-poor #environments and clean air. The latter is rareer in #Germany, but spreading eastward based on #globalwarming. D. Masson (2004) found it on #treetrunks and #branches.

Did you know Epstein's name & ancestors come from a town in #Germany?

It's even called Eppstein!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epstein

They even had "nobles" - the Lords of Eppstein.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lords_of…

Wonder if they were also pedos? But I guess back then it was a common thing for nobles to be...

Just some of that #Epstein- #Etymology - #Trivia 🤷

... und wann begreifen die #CDU Wähler dass die #Union nix für Arbeitnehmer übrig hat???

P.s. erst wird Care Arbeit als Luxusfreizeit benannt und nun streicht man die Krankenversicherung dieser Frauen - Arbeitsanreiz 🤮

Aber wählt ruhig weiter das zweit übelste für Euch.

.... und zur SPD fällt mir nur ein, ihr verkauft gerade Eure Seele - so kommt ihr nicht aus Eurem Tief raus.
