Germany Prepares to Launch Social Media Gestapo: The End is Near
The news that the border-free Schengen Zone is unravelling is scary news for the 420 million citizens living within the passport-free zone.

Germany Was Never Denazified. That’s Why it’s Siding with Israel Today
Germany’s firm stance in support of genocide in Palestine raises the question: How come the country best known for its supposed reckoning with guilt for its past genocide is repeating such similar mistakes?
