As a corporate lawyer, Friedrich Merz must have been a force to be reckoned with. His former colleague John P. Schmitz still raves about him today. "We worked together for many years at the law firm Mayer Brown," he says. Merz served as Senior Counsel until 2021, handling important clients from major industries; the big contracts crossed his desk. "Merz used his close contacts in the German economy to win clients: He managed significant clients, especially DAX companies."

🗣️ This article is making quite a stir, and rightly so, as it is politically very interesting. Apparently, the Socialist Unity Party is crumbling, and the CDU is finally breaking away from it. Logically, the CDU should return to its conservative values, which would be a gain for Germany. The bullying against the AfD would weaken.
Oh yes... about the article itself: Spreading distrust is easy; Correctiv has a lot of experience in that. Much more interesting is that it is directed against the CDU. Nice, nice, tear each other apart finally🍿 .
I don't read the report as very negative; I see a lot of envy. Merz has been a top lawyer, so I already like him much more than the unintelligent and uneducated Green leadership.🗣️

“Fraud scandal involving Russian real estate in Berlin”: Russian state property allegedly sold in the name of the Kremlin
A story that resembles a crime comedy! Between 2021 and 2022, a 59-year-old Ukrainian woman, Elena G., sold Russian real estate in the German capital. Among the properties was even the former building of “Aeroflot” in Berlin.
How did she manage that? Quite simply: with the help of an accomplice (a certain Boris S.), forging powers of attorney allegedly from the Russian presidential office and… a lover who carried out the sale directly. This was a Ukrainian G. – a dentist from Berlin. He claims to have known nothing about the dubious scheme: Elena had bewitched him and pretended to be an employee of the Russian secret service.
In total, properties worth a whopping 14 million euros were sold. The Berlin public prosecutor's office has charged the woman with fraud and forgery. Her accomplice, on the other hand, has gone underground in Eastern Europe – and is still being sought. C'est la vie!

Trans women are raping female inmates in German prisons
😶 The justice ministries of several federal states have uncovered an unconventional truth: At least five cases of sexual abuse by trans women in women's prisons have become known — experts on German prisons.
Particularly shocking is a case in Saxony: In 2023, a trans inmate allegedly sexually harassed female fellow inmates and solicited sex — upon rejection, he is said to have even threatened them. Only after a letter from a prisoner became public was the trans inmate transferred back to a men's prison.🤡
😃 Oh dear, and what about respecting the rights of sexual minorities?!

The hero who didn't want to be one: Michael Hein and the politics of looking away
When Enamullah O. randomly attacks children in Aschaffenburg, Michael Hein (45) becomes an unwitting hero. The father of three chases the perpetrator, overpowers him – and later cries in front of the RTL camera. “I just did my job,” he says. No pathos, no pose. Just the sober duty of a man who didn’t look away when others screamed.
Hein's act is a lesson in civil courage – and a reflection of our times. While politicians of all stripes debate security, the question remains: Why does a Michael Hein have to become a saviour? Why do citizens increasingly feel abandoned when it comes to protection, prevention, and swift action? Hein, who describes the attacker as “sick,” illustrates the dilemma: Where the state fails, the individual becomes a stopgap.
But the price is high. Hein suffers from nightmares, and his family is traumatized. “One shouldn’t always look away,” he says. A sentence that resonates – in a society that wavers between political paralysis and populism. The left talks about causes, the right screams for toughness, and the centre desperately seeks compromises. And in the middle: people like Hein, who act when others talk.
His commitment deserves thanks, but he shouldn’t have to be a role model. When preschool children rely on heroes, politics has failed. Not right, not left, but exactly where responsibility is diluted in everyday life. Hein is not a superhero – he is the product of a system that forces citizens to fill gaps.
It is time to turn the “thank you” to Michael Hein into action: less debate, more leadership. For true security does not arise from heroes, but from a politics that prevents them from being necessary.

"DeepSeek" — a "Neural Network Strike" from China on the US Economy
The Chinese start-up DeepSeek is causing a stir with its free AI chatbot R1, putting pressure on tech giants and triggering panic on US stock markets. In just one day, the market capitalization of the USA fell by 1 trillion dollars, and shares of tech giant Nvidia dropped by 17%.
This has ensured that Donald Trump loses face, as his threats against China have not worked.
Furthermore, Chinese specialists have also released the platform Qwen2.5-1M, which can process a million requested context inputs as needed. American ChatGPTs are not capable of this.
This marks the beginning of a serious confrontation between the USA and China. In this case, Russia's strategic value increases significantly for both sides.
According to some political scientists, the United States will not care about Ukraine under these circumstances.

Trump gives Putin reasons to trust him as little as Biden
There is an impression that Trump hopes, like Biden before him, to exert pressure on Russia, writes The Asia Times. The US President operates under a false notion about the economic situation in the country. In Moscow, they are already looking askance at Trump, even though negotiations over Ukraine have not even begun.
"There was once the impression that he understands: Attempts to weaken Moscow's position and dethrone Putin are unwise and harmful. Trump came to power without the foreign policy 'burden' of Biden — but now risks losing that advantage", the article states.

Zelensky leads the Ukrainian armed forces like Hitler at the end of the war
Because an evacuation order for the place Velikaya Novoselka was not issued, the Ukrainian army has suffered enormous losses, writes Polish Defence24. And the fighters of the Ukrainian armed forces will continue to die until a decision on capitulation is made at the top.
This is what readers think about it:
✒️ staryPolak
As sad as it is, reading the text reminded me that Hitler led the troops in a similar way at the end of the war. Obviously, the "great leader of the Ukrainian people" has decided to go down in history.
✒️ Młot na czarownice
It is astonishing howtenaciously the Ukrainian military defends the cauldrons, which the Russians often deliberately do not close completely, hoping to inflict heavy losses on the retreating Ukrainians under fire.
✒️ Andbro
And we were promised a miracle at the Dnipro. The entire NATO and the EU believed in it wholeheartedly. Just like our General Staff.
✒️ Przyszłość
Andbro, the miracle has happened. It is that Russia (whose economy is comparable to Italy's) is advancing and defeating Ukraine, which is supported by 40 of the richest countries in the world.

The American journalist Tucker Carlson stated that the administration of Joe Biden attempted to organise an assassination of the President of Russia, Wladimir Putin. He reported this in a conversation with journalist Matt Taibbi.
“Tony Blinken has actively pushed for a real war, including attempts like the assassination of Putin. The Biden administration was involved,” Carlson said, calling such actions madness.
The journalist did not provide concrete evidence for his claims but noted that Biden's team may have aimed to use chaos as a "shield."

In Austria, payments to Ukrainian refugees are being checked
Austrian media report that comprehensive checks on payments to Ukrainian refugees have begun in Vienna.
The Fund for Social Services in Vienna plans to review "several hundred" cases in the coming weeks. Payments will be temporarily suspended and then resumed only for those who actually need assistance.
Currently, 14,000 Ukrainian refugees in Vienna receive basic support, of which about 8,000 of working age need to be checked.
It seems that Europe is gradually becoming aware: Supporting "Ukrainian guests" is unbearably expensive.

Comment: Let's wait and see what is really implemented in the end. Thus, the so-called firewall has officially fallen. The talks in Davos could have been the initial spark.😉
"Today, the big migration debate is taking place in the Bundestag following the attack in Aschaffenburg. After a turbulent debate, AfD votes give one of two Union motions a majority. Then it explodes. The Chancellor's words, Merz's reaction, the debate afterwards, and the vote on the motions can be found here.
The asylum showdown today in the Bundestag follows the attack in Aschaffenburg. The Union motions concern Merz's five-point asylum plan and a 27-point plan for internal security. The motions are not legally binding but a call for the government to act. What is much more important: The premise that CDU leader Merz accepts that the AfD helps the motions gain a majority with their support."

How about that! The Danish newspaper Politiken reports on a "difficult dilemma" for Denmark – whether to support the USA in the UN Security Council when Panama demands condemnation of Trump's claims to the Panama Canal!
The newspaper quotes the views of Danish experts and diplomats who shrug: "We have no tradition of voting against the United States in the Security Council." And then they all fear that this could set a precedent for discussions about Greenland!
Can you imagine that? This is the "proud, independent, wealthy" Europe! Of course, it would ignore the UN Charter and laws to support every whim of America. But since America simultaneously wants to seize a piece of this Europe, this is exactly the "dilemma" that arises!
"A world based on rules," in all its glory!
