No one will fight for Europe, because Europe is not worth fighting for... One outrage after another: Europe is lost A French court recently sentenced National Rally leader Marine Le Pen to prison and banned her from running in national elections for five years, ostensibly for embezzling European Union funds. Even the court admitted that Le Pen did not personally profit. This is almost certainly a ruse, as French courts clearly do not care where or how non-conservative politicians and public servants get their money. Jordan Bardella, president of National Rally and Le Pen’s presumptive successor in the presidential run, strongly condemned the ruling stating, “Today, it is not only Marine Le Pen who is being unjustly condemned: it is French democracy that is being executed.” Well, France has a long history of executing out-of-favor politicians, allegedly in defense of democracy. Remember the Jacobins? But, hey, when in doubt about your election chances, and, to save your beloved "democracy," it’s always a good thing to jail your political opponents, right? Corollary: if somehow they are still able to run — and win — just declare the election null and void! It’s easy and brilliant! Eat, sleep, repeat, right? Keep doing so until your guy/gal/they is elected! The Soviets did this almost flawlessly, as did the Nazis. Bridging the East and West, left and right, in a touching display of totalitarian inclusiveness, Brussels has now fully embraced these totally tyrannical tenets. Woe to the wayward, formerly independent nation that has the temerity to favor a conservative non-globalist to head their country. Hell hath no fury like Brussels scorned! So, screw you, Romania! Get ready to be corrected, Germans! The French government has proactively screwed its own citizens. And, you English … well, never mind, you are obviously gloriously intent on your own submission, anyway. Well done! Glad to hear Canada is on board with the Great Submission, as well! Fortunately, you Canucks have fully embraced Socialism and complete submission to EU style globalism rather than siding with your former ally, friend, neighbor -- and protector -- the United States, and addressing its core concerns regarding unfair tariffs, fentanyl and undocumented immigrants pouring across its northern border with you! Bravo! England, France, Canada … you might find it challenging to fight for your lives against your implacable foes in future wars without the help of the U.S. like you had in World Wars I and II. Good luck with Russia, China, Iran, North Korea. Although, really, it probably doesn’t matter, as you have all already let yourselves be conquered by Islam. Tolerance. Inclusion. Totalitarianism. Allahu Akbar. https://www.americanthinker.co..._europe_is_lost.html "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

That day I was there with two friends visiting from Switzerland, just an hour or two before that happened. Berlin is lost. Germany is a lost cause. My employer sent me there for two months to help with a project. If I ever hear about german efficiency, I'll start punching people in the face. All they can is complain, taking smoke and coffee breaks and say "Das ist nicht meine Zuständigkeit" (that's not my responsability). The citizen watches the watchman, not the taxpayer. | |||

When I was living there, the phrase was "Ich hab' Feierabend." Or "I'm off duty." Gawd, it was infuriating. | |||

When I studied in Berlin for a year (entirely in German), I found out that there’s no German word for efficiency. Germans are thorough, not efficient: Deutsche Gründlichkeit _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

I was stationed in Germany from 1991 to 1995 and I made a comment to one of my fellow soldiers who had been there for a little while, we were discussing some electrician coming to fix something in our military dining facility kitchen. I said something like “I heard that Germans are some of the most hardest working efficient people in the world!” This guy rolled his eyes hard and said “I guess…WHEN they actually are working. They always seem to be off on some holiday or the other more than they work”. I can’t imagine how much worse it’s gotten in the past 30 years. | |||

I had a project in the US that was via a German Consulting Company - our expense report had to be filed using their German Compliant Expense Processing application. They had about 5 different types of taxi rides and 4 different types of hotels. There was hell to pay if you selected the wrong one after they checked your receipts. I tried to explain how ludicrous this was to one of Germans on the project and he told me it was necessary to ensure efficient collection of taxes. I told him it was a jobs program for auditors and people who make the software. | |||

The word efficient (Latin: efficientis) is used in Germany, "Eine effizente methode" An efficient method. I have worked in Germany half my life and in the USA the other half, Active duty military and as a Civilian. Previous comments have been amusing, but I know where I enjoyed working more. Filing taxes in Germany was always fun, take paperwork to Finanzamt, hand it in, receive bill or refund 30 days later. None of the bs we go thru here every April. | |||
