Germany's inflation rate climbs to 7.9% in August

germany
Germany's annual consumer inflation rate stood at 7.9% this August, in line with market forecasts, according to official data released on Tuesday.

The first reading for the month marked a rise from July's figure of 7.5%, a jump driven by increasing prices of energy products and food.

Energy prices surged 35.6% year-on-year in August, slightly lower than July's 35.7%.

Household energy costs were up 46.4% as heating oil prices more than doubled with a 111.5% annual rise and natural gas prices climbed 83.8%.

Comment: Things are heating up it seems, or should we say cooling down: And more on rising inflation:

Mollie Hemingway: 'A country has not survived with two standards of justice'

Mollie Hemingway
Speaking to a crowd at the National Conservatism Conference on Monday, The Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway addressed the two-tiered system of justice the United States is currently facing today.

Focusing on federal law enforcement agencies, Hemingway recounted how the Department of Justice has been "fully weaponized" to "persecute political opponents."

Hemingway noted the usage of the Department of Justice to go after concerned parents late last fall, attempts to restore election security, or the numerous attempts to go after former President Donald Trump.

Comment: There are so many other examples not even mentioned in this article about the two standards of justice we've all seen happening in the US since the current administration stepped in. Biden's latest speech shows that the rhetoric is only increasing.

Elon Musk's Twitter buyout deal APPROVED by shareholders

elon musk
On Tuesday, Twitter's shareholders voted to approve Elon Musk's $44 billion buyout deal that was set in motion earlier this year.

According to The Verge, sources yesterday had suggested that a vast majority of shareholders were set to approve of the bid, with the required majority being locked in before Tuesday's meeting.

The vote comes as Musk is locked in a legal battle with the social media platform over an attempt to terminate the deal, after Musk sought data that confirmed that the number of Twitter accounts that are automated bot accounts is less than 5 percent.

During a Facebook broadcast on Tuesday night, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell claimed the FBI had been "weaponized" against him when they executed a lawful search warrant to seize his phone.

According to a copy of a subpoena uploaded by Lindell, his cell phone was taken by federal agents Tuesday as part of a warrant seeking records related to the "authorization or lack of authorization to damage or modify any Dominion computerized voting system." The investigation was also related to "any attempted misappropriation, theft, conversion, transfer, or exfiltration of any proprietary hardware, software or other data" related to the voting machines.

The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Comment: Despite the above article coming from the usual liberally biased perspective, this isn't just another MAGA person getting his just desserts. This is a targeted campaign by the FBI to harass and intimidate the opposition to the Democrats. This latest FBI raid is one of many in recent days.

Queen Elizabeth - The last of a true constitutional monarchy?

Queen Elizabeth

Monarchy is the oldest form of government in the United Kingdom. Right up to the very last few days, Queen Elizabeth embodied the dignity of the British people and fulfilled her role as the impartial guardian of the people. In reality, the British monarchy represents the Head of State. The British Monarchy is known as a constitutional monarchy; they yielded the ability to make and pass legislation to the elected Parliament. Once upon a time, Parliament was to represent the people. But ever since the rise of Marxism during the 19th century, Parliament no longer represents the people. It has devolved into not much more than a food fight in a high school cafeteria. Members hurl insults at one another, and the respect for civility has oddly flipped from Parliament back to the Monarchy.

Although The Sovereign no longer has a political or executive role, they play an essential part in the life of the nation. Queen Elizabeth has been the impartial Sovereign, and now she is replaced with her son, King Charles III, who is by no means neutral and has become an activist for Klaus Schwab and pushing forward his Great Reset, which is his version of Marxism 3.0.

I remember having a conversation with former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and how rising from the name-calling in Parliament, she would meet with the Queen that was perhaps the moment of rising above the chaos to the world of dignity and respect. As Head of State, Queen Elizabeth undertook constitutional and representational duties that are over one thousand years of tradition, which are now coming to an end with Charles III. Instead of being impartial, he is the new activist destined to ensure a new dark age for Britain.

Germany's power grid faces collapse as millions stock up on inefficient electric heaters for the winter

Maybe they ran out of firewood to buy.

A few weeks after we reported that google searches for "firewood" exploded in Germany, ground zero of what is sure to be a very cold winter...

... the country whose electric grid will be crippled for the foreseeable future after Russia's decision to halt nat gas supplies via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, is now facing another crisis. According to Reuters, Germans could overload their power grid as they switch to inefficient electric heaters in an attempt to avoid gas shortages this winter, utilities warned in an article published on Sunday.

Fearing the worst, German households have been stocking up on electric fan heaters, including portable devices, sales figures show, amid fears that Russia could cut or further limit gas supplies in the wake of its war in Ukraine.

The managing director of the German association of energy and water utilities, BDEW, told daily Handelsblatt that customers could be left with even heftier power bills if they do not use the devices sparingly.

Thousands of religious and right-wing activists marched through Serbia's capital on Sunday, calling for authorities to ban EuroPride, which is scheduled for next weekend despite being cancelled by the government.

The protesters - who carried a massive Serbian flag - included groups who also shouted slogans backing Serbia's long-term ally Russia and nationalistic and far-right causes.

"They want to desecrate the sanctity of marriage and the family and impose an unnatural union as a substitute for marriage," the head of the Serbian Orthodox Church; Patriarch Porfirije, told the crowd, adding that EuroPride threatens traditional family values.


Comment: Those aren't 'far-right' views, they're conservative.

UK: 1000s of critical hospital appointments cancelled, foodbanks closed 'as a mark of respect' for Queen's funeral

NHS hospital uk
© Phil Rees/AlamyThe Aneurin Bevan health board in Gwent was among the first to confirm the cancellation of planned appointments, including cancer treatments.
The Queen's funeral has led to the cancellations of thousands of hospital appointments, funerals, theatre performances and the closure of museums, supermarkets and even food banks.

Several NHS trusts, including Bedfordshire hospitals and Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals, and the Aneurin Bevan health board in Gwent were among the first to confirm the cancellation of planned appointments on Monday.

Emergency, urgent and cancer services will still go ahead in these areas and others but only a reduced routine service will run.


Comment: That's good of them. Meanwhile life saving appointments, like cancer screening will be cancelled; the same screenings that were cancelled en masse during lockdowns that led to an unsurmountable backlog and missed diagnoses, that has already resulted in the deaths of thousands.


Comment: Is this what the Queen would have wanted? The Queen said herself that she lived her life for her country, because it was her duty, and so wouldn't it be a more fitting tribute to make an extra effort that day to be of service to others?

Warmongering Finnish PM says sanctions must hit 'ordinary Russians'

Sanna Marin has proposed widening measures because the visa facilitation ban is "not enough"

Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin said on Tuesday that EU sanctions, including the full suspension of a visa facilitation agreement with Russia, are "not enough." She suggested that ordinary Russians should feel pressure in their everyday lives.

"We must be ready to take more sanctions because the more impact we [have] with sanctions, the more expensive it will become for Russia to continue this war," Marin told the European Parliament.

It's not the first time Marin has suggested moves against the ordinary Russian population since the conflict in Ukraine began. It's "not right" that Russians "can live a normal life, travel in Europe, be tourists," Marin told the state broadcaster Yle on August 8. That statement was echoed the next day by Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, who tweeted that "visiting Europe is a privilege, not a human right."

Comment: Party animal Marin is hardly qualified to be pontificating about foreign relations, regardless of the office she has managed to acquire.

"I just keep trying to disrupt wherever I can," Norris said. "And now that I'm in this position, I have so many opportunities to do that."

The school official claims she uses her time at work to advance her ideological objectives.
