A German intellectual

tries to re-invent history and attacks Israel with a bad poem.

Israel-Iran History, Holocaust Perverted in Grass’s Poem

I read Grass' A Tin Drum many years ago. I now fear that the years haven't been kind to him. Mind you, that was before the world found out about his sympathies during the 2nd World War...

Press Distorts Papal Trip Before It Begins

The media is predicting the Pope's reception in the various countries, and perhaps more creating a response than reporting a response.

" So begins the news coverage prior to the Pope’s trip. I don’t have a problem with journalists reporting facts, but when they’re reporting (or rather predicting) facts before anything has even happened, I do take issue with the reporting. Isn’t it interesting how you can have so many seemingly diverse publications all singing the same note"

Consumerism starts here

Empty trash. Buy milk. Forge history.

"To trace the great arcs of civilization, historians tap the humble list"

But not consumerism as a religion. I think that's a product of the 20th century...

Once again

a European country, much older and certainly more mature than the West, is exhibiting great foresight and care for the future of the human race.

Germany: Nuclear power plants to close by 2022

Don't count on anything like this happening in the West any time soon. Concern for the future is left to those who have had a past. We've barely existed in history compared to Europe...

German bishops’ conference confirms it sent file to Rome on Bishop Mixa

Interestingly, the article seems to equate 'homosexual advances' to sexual abuse. I don't know what was in the document, but if this is the case, it doesn't bode well for a lot of people out there as any advance could now be construed as sexual abuse. It's like any type of physical event is now considered abuse. I've read of accusations of 'physical abuse' from teachers that are actually instances of common assault, but are now reported as 'abuse'. Nothing gets abused as much as language...

TV Movie Portrays Dark Side of Scientology

"A new German TV movie tells the story of a man whose family life was destroyed after joining the Church of Scientology. The drama, which is based on a true story, was filmed in secret to prevent the organization taking legal action against the project."

(I assume that is his dog in that one photo. He'd best keep a close on it for the next while: Scientologists killed USA court judge's dog)

Berlin District Posts Warning About Scientology

"A poster denouncing Scientology has gone up on a public kiosk outside the Scientology headquarters in Berlin. Local officials warn that Scientology may be "undemocratic" -- part of an ongoing battle between Berlin and the guardians of L. Ron Hubbard's belief system."

Infiltrating government offices, in numerous countries, with volunteers and your own CIA-wannabes, Scientology's OSA, is a good way to get a country to keep you on its suspect list. The exception is the U.S., there they are so paranoid about appearing to suppress a 'religion' that they'll let criminals get away with anything in the name of religion.
