Sorry, this I need to post here in German Language for my Friends in Germany

​Ich poste das hier mal fuer meine Freunde in Deutschland denn wenn ich an die Entwicklungen in Deutschland denke übertrifft das fast schon Heine’s Visionen.  Mir jedenfalls blieb der Geist vor Ehrfurcht stehen. “Terror: Abstimmung, Urteil und Diskussion!”

Ferdinand von Schirach hat ein "Theaterstück" geschrieben (Titel "Terror - Ihr Urteil" frei nach dem Motto “Das Fernseh-Gericht tagt” und weil Terror sich zur Zeit einfach geil verkauft drückt er ordentlich auf die Terrordrüse) Ferdinands Opus tingelt seit 2015 in deutschen Theatern herum und wurde bald 500 mal aufgeführt. Es hat den Fall zum Inhalt dass ein Fliegermajor der Bundesluftwaffe vor Gericht steht, weil er trotz gegenteiligem Befehl und im Angesicht des BVG-Urteils, das verbietet ein Flugzeug abzuschießen, um dadurch den Tod von anderen  Menschen  zu vermeiden, der dadurch zu entstehen droht, dass das Flugzeug von Terroristen entführt zur Crashlandung z.B. in einem vollbesetzen Fußballstadion gezwungen wird. 

Der Plot des Stückes ist, dass am Ende der Thatervorstellung, die eine hanebüchene Gerichtsverhandlung zeigt, die Zuschauer, quasi als Schöffen zu entscheiden haben, das Urteil "schuldig" oder "nicht schuldig" per Abstimmung mit Mehrheitswirkung zu fällen, das der Richter dann nur noch verkündet. Bezeichnender Weise ließen die Textscheißer den einleitenden Satz "Im Namen des Volkes" bei der "Urteilsverkündung" dann doch lieber weg; aber wer hat das schon bemerkt?

Seitdem das Stück tingelt, hat sich gezeigt, dass die Mehrheit von anfänglich 57 zu 43 % für unschuldig mit Ausstrahlung des Films  am Montagabend im ARD (s. dort) bis zur Mehrheit von 86 zu 14 %  gestiegen ist. D.h. vier Fünftel der Deutschen scheißen auf unsere Verfassung und auf deren, mindestens in ihr existierendes emanzipatorische Menschenbild. Der Ferdinand ist Jurist und ich bin ziemlich sicher genau das wollte Ferdinand wohl auch zum Ausdruck bringen: Das heute schon wieder die spießbürgerlichen Vollidioten auf die Verfassung scheissen. Genau das erlebe ich mit “Redakteuren”, die sich wie Wächter der politischen Korrektheit gebärden. 

In der anschließenden "Diskussion" bei dem bürgerlichen Vollidioten, Pseudojournalisten und Frank Plasberg ("Hart aber fair") konnte sich Baum, so er nicht abgewürgt wurde,  auf das Höflichste den Mund fusselig reden, dass diese Entscheidung Verfassungsbruch darstelle. 

Ein ehemaliger Kampfflieger und Jung (ehemaliger Bundesverteidigungsminister) manipulierten mit Plasberg vorneweg das Publikum, genau wie der Film selbst schon wieder ein Stück weiter auf den Weg zurück in den Faschismus und das meine ich todernst: Über Pegida sich beschweren und dann im Deutschen Fernsehen die wenigen Errungenschaften des Nachkriegsdeutschland (= Art. 1 und 2 GG) quasi abschaffen, weil die Volksseele verängstigt durch die Medien und die herrschende Politik kocht und Wahnsinn als gerechte Vernunft ausgibt ist zwar Irrsin, hat aber Methode.

Kant wird explizit desavouiert zugunsten angeblich angelsächsischem Rechtsverständnisses  (der Wahl des "kleineren Übels" als Richtschnur), der Jungspund von Fliegermajor nimmt für seine Entscheidung zu schießen, die blanke Vernunft - und das gegen Kant!!!! - für sich in Anspruch, während Produzent und Regisseur des Films im Begleitinterview betonen, dass sie im Film die "Emotionalisierung des Textes" noch der Vorlage gegenüber bewusst auf die Spitze getrieben haben.

Ich erspare mir die Diskussion aller abstrusen Einzelheiten  dieses unappetitlichen Textes und seiner filmischen Umsetzung. Ich bin ja kein Jurist aber die meisten in meiner Familie sind, denken agieren wie Juristen, also etwas Urteilsvermögen mabe ich dann doch. Noch dazu kommt: Dieser Text wird inzwischen allenthalben öffentlich als Pflichtlektüre  für alle Schulen schon empfohlen.

Here because it is about the National finals of endurance of young horses which is organised by the Equestrian Society of Uzès (HUS) and it seems to be a lot of fun foe all participants, they are all smiling when they pass by...

The rider must develop inner awareness and mental balance as well as physical balance and fitness in order to be able to face all challenges. The best riders are like dancers: fluid, supple, strong, with a sense of rhythm, tempo, precision, and soft focus. Natural born riders have the “feel,” an inner quiet, a stillness, and intuition.

If there is a problem with the horse, the rider needs to look inside. Veteran riders know that most of the existing problems come from the rider/trainer and their failure to creatively train while staying quiet and unmoved, never getting angry. The horse is rarely at fault.

Endurance riding is an equestrian sport based on controlled long-distance races. It is one of the international competitions recognized by the FEI (Fédération équestre internationale). There are endurance rides right now in Uzes, South of France till Sunday the 9. October. The longest distance are 45 km, so not such extreme distances of up to 160 km. 

Endurance riding is one of the seven world equestrian disciplines approved by the International Equestrian Federation and is therefore present at the World Equestrian Games. There are several types of endurance events that are differentiated by the number of kilometres. 

This event is the national showcase for young horses from all over France. It was set up 14 years ago and started with just 40 horses. This year there were over 400. It is designed to pin point potential elite horses and influence their early training so that they are brought in a controlled and well planned manner. I understand it has become a successful a commercial event which was not the original intention and many horses are for sale.

Because so many horses are Arab horses in endurance championships there is kind of cultural conflict between Western countries and the Gulf States as Qatar, the UAE and Bahrain are frequently involved in cases of doping and horse deaths in tests. The problem persists because of the inability of the International Equestrian Federation to set up clearer standards.

Germany has gone with its migration policy a very special path of wide-open doors.  In a kind of  moral complacency Germans begin to look down to their European neighbours. The image of the I-know-it-all is back: Hungarians are racists, Czechs are nationalists and Poland are Christian fundamentalists, Slovaks are philistines, Danes are right-wing populists, French are cowards because they fear Le Pen and Britons are egoists. 

Following the twaddles of German politicians and media pundits I can clearly see more and more bad clichés about its European neighbours like we are back in the darkest days of nationalism 100 years ago. What is disturbing is  that in all this ecstasy of the German “Welcome-culture” a trend of arrogant complacency is dominating every discussion: all others who are skeptical, cautious or worried are being degraded. Particularly Hungarian and Brits are getting the full blast of the “New German Virtue & Pride” in the form of malice.

Our European neighbours were touched by the German Goals - first on its stance to migrations, then stunned, finally angry and now horrified. Germany is completely isolated with his attitude, but wanted to impose its will on all other EU partners: even in Brussels this assessment is beginning to be solidified. 

German attitude of its  I-know-it-all awakens unpleasant memories of the past. Just that it comes  this time under the guise of moral presumptuousness. It a frightening lowering of people, as if the Hungarians are not a cultural nation, but a dumb gang hating foreigners, or as if Brits are not for decades an open multi-cultural society, but would like to fill  the Channel Tunnel with concrete, and if as Pols did not mastered impressively tremendous upheavals , but a nation of conservative stubborn ultra catholics.

We command, you obey

That more and more German politicians run up and down the country with a “Rescuers Candle” of peoples helper around the country and denigrate it neighbouring people, is a bitter irony of the current craze virtue. If now politicians in Berlin also openly threaten with blackmail, that if not immediately all doors are opened by other members they Berlin would cut EU funds, then this is the lowest  point of an attitude, which allegedly wants good evil but brings evil. You could also announce the same by shouting: We command, you obey, but immediately.

The fact is that Angela Merkel is with her “welcome-come" policy in Europe basically insulated. The truth behind this is simple: the majority of Europeans do not want uncontrolled mass immigration of millions of Muslims. Disqualifying this position as immoral fails to recognise that there is also a moral responsibility for protecting the own weak, the own culture, the own security, the own freedom, the own stability of our societies in order not being silenced under a barrage of laments about “discrimination”.

The European neighbours make Germany this charge: who abruptly enforces a Muslim mass immigration, risks that the statics of Europe  tilts, involving attacks on social systems, with the burden on the entire continent for generations to come as heavy integration conflicts are happen over decades. That may be seen as exaggerated, but the anxious demand is legitimate for the simple fact that especially the socially weaker Europeans will have to endure social conflicts in their neighbourhoods, in their schools, in their backyards. If  Germans now want to impose their dogma without a fair, open debate, then you do not have to wonder about resistance.

Is Germany unwillingly entering special ways to disintegrate Europe?

In Berlin, however, the political Nomenklatura around Merkel is acting as not two opinions on this mass migration is allowed. Only “to save”. This is a precept. So you establish a totalitarianism of good and discredits anyone who disagrees for misanthrope. But this is the opposite of the plural, human political culture that Europe represents. 

So, if Merkel - with best intentions - conveyed a uncontrolled mass migration that affects deeply many neighbours which is lasting and dangerous, by not asking her neighbours beforehand then she is somewhat reckless with Europe. This too is a moral issue. It is time to rise from the high horse of morality and to join the bottom of realpolitik. Germany in the guise of alls-gooders is not a likeable country. We should talk to each other again as rushing over one another more.
