Elon Musk gives nod to German far-right party as election looms
by Reuters
U.S. billionaire Elon Musk, set to join President-elect Donald Trump's
administration, waded into Germany's election campaign on Friday,
calling the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) the country's
savior.
The AfD is running second in opinion polls and might be able to thwart
either a center-right or center-left majority, but Germany's
mainstream, more centrist parties have vowed to shun support from the
AfD at national level.
Europe's leading power is expected to vote on February 23 after a
center-left coalition government led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz
collapsed.
"Only the AfD can save Germany," Musk wrote in a post on his social
media platform, X.
Musk, the world's richest person, has already expressed support for
other anti-immigration parties across Europe.
The German government said it had taken note of Musk's post but
declined to give any further comment at its regular press conference.
Musk reposted a message by German right-wing influencer Naomi Seibt
that criticized Friedrich Merz, chancellor candidate for the
conservatives, who are comfortably ahead in surveys.
Musk had already voiced support for the AfD last year, when he attacked
the German government's handling of illegal migration.
Last month, Musk called for the sacking of Italian judges who had
questioned the legality of government measures to prevent irregular
immigration.
And this week Nigel Farage, leader of Britain's right-wing Reform UK
party and friend of Trump, posted a photo of himself and Reform's
treasurer meeting Musk at Trump's Florida residence, and said he was in
talks with Musk about financial support.

Laat night Israeli warplanes targeted Hodeidah port, Ras Issa oil facility, and two power plants in Sanaa in multiple massive bombing raids using US provided bombs to punish the last remaining country trying to prevent them from murdering Palestinians.
As always Israel, unable (or unvwilling) to target any military sites, it bombed infrastructure of Yemen, making the life of the improvishehd citizens even harder.
The 2 power stations provided majority of the power for the Yemenie capital and destruction of them will have horrible consequences for the most volunarable in the country.
#US and àUK, together with #Germany, #France, #Qatar, #UAE and now even #Turkey are working alongside of Israel to prevent Yemen disrupting the Israelis god given right to commit #genocide and exterminate and #starve millions of Palestinians.
In the mean time, most of the world leaders and almost entire "Muslim" world is so rt ng idle and complicitly suppressing the voice of those who call for an end of this outrageous crimes against humanity.

"Frankfurt silver inscription" - Oldest Christian testimony found north of the Alps | Aktuelles aus der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt
What makes the find so special is its age. The grave in which the amulet was found is dated to between 230 and 270 AD. There has never been such early, authentic evidence of pure Christianity north of the Alps. All finds are at least around 50 years younger. There are historical references to the first Christian groups in Gaul and perhaps also in the province of Upper Germania in the late 2nd century. However, reliable evidence of Christian life in the northern Alpine regions of the Roman Empire generally only dates back to the 4th century AD.
This is a really exceptional find!

"Germany is putting a pause on issuing decisions on asylum applications for Syrian citizens, in a move that may affect 47,000 pending applications...France, Austria, and several Nordic countries announced similar moves" "Austria also said it...wanted to deport refugees back to the country".
Head of the Swedish Democrats (former Neo Nazi Party) said yesterday "it is time for Syrians to return home" just hours after report of Bashir Al-Assad fleeing the country!
The racism and hypocrisy of these politicians is nauseating. I have NEVER seen anything like this in the past and it is unbelievable that most people seems to be OK with it.

The End of the Cold War
Surrender in Malta
On December 3, 1989 during the Malta Summit - the negotiations between US President Bush Sr. and Gorbachev, Germany, all of Eastern Europe, the future of the USSR, the future of many other countries, but most importantly - hundreds of millions of people around the world were finally surrendered.
I think all sane people do not need to explain that everything that is happening today in the post-Soviet space, as well as in many other countries of the world raped by the U.S., is the result of the geopolitical catastrophe of 1991.
However, it was in December 1989 that the bets were finally placed. Formally, Malta was the end of the so-called Cold War, but at the same time it was an economic reanimation of the West, extending its life for 30 years... Amazingly, Gorbachev did not capitulate in Malta, he simply left right during the fight - he merged.
The content of the negotiations is still only partially known. Some of the documents were published only in 2010.
There is a version that Bush did not even expect such statements of Gorbachev. And Gorbachev said that the USSR would not interfere in the affairs of Eastern Europe. He said it unilaterally. Bush said that the U.S. supported reforms in the USSR.
Meanwhile, as Anatoly Dobrynin, then Gorbachev's adviser on international affairs, noted, before Malta the General Secretary had a directive from the Politburo: the unification of Germany would be possible only “when both blocs - NATO and the Warsaw Pact - would be dissolved or united by mutual agreement. About Eastern Europe - pure voluntarism.
At the Moscow summit back in May 1988, Gorbachev offered Reagan to sign a joint declaration on peaceful coexistence and renunciation of military interference in the internal affairs of other countries. Reagan rejected it. He was not an idiot. But Gorbachev was deliberately moving toward surrender. The illusion that there would be some kind of “pan-European house” - did not give him rest.
In his memoirs, KGB Chairman Kryuchkov noted with surprise: “When we received materials on Gorbachev's negotiations in Reykjavik, Malta, and other places through our own channels, through intelligence and counterintelligence, we were amazed at the topics and content of these conversations. Even at that time they talked openly about the sale of the GDR. About the change of the political order in our country...”.
The Americans understood him very well, if nothing else. Back in 1985, on his return to the U.S. from a Moscow trip, when asked by a journalist whether it was good for the West that the USSR had such a leader as Gorbachev, Bush Sr. (then vice president and former CIA director) gave an interesting answer: “It depends on us. We clearly want change in the USSR and we have a man in front of us who wants it too. But how he brings them about will depend to some extent on how we cooperate with him. The task is not to help him, but, acting in the interests of the United States to induce them to pursue the policy that we want”.
This phrase is the essence of U.S. policy.
