Germany is planning to urge its citizens to stockpile food, water and other supplies in the event of a catastrophe or armed attack.
According to a report by German broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW), citing the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung newspaper, the move would be the first of its kind since the end of the Cold War.
The proposal is reportedly contained in a government civil-defense-strategy document, which says that people should stock 10 days worth of food and a sufficient supply of water, energy, money and medicine that would allow them to stay put long enough for the government to respond.
The mood in Germany has been unsettled recently following a number of horrific incidents. In the latest violence, on July 24, a Syrian suicide bomber injured 15 people at a music festival in the central German town of Ansbach. The same day, a Syrian refugee killed a woman and injured two others with a machete in Reutlingen. Just days previous, an ISIS-inspired attacker was shot dead after stabbing several people on a train in the south of the country.
The huge influx of refugees — Germany accepted more than a million last year — has sparked fears among many Germans that terrorists have entered the country under the guise of seeking asylum.
And they are
calling for European govts to take in more refugees knowing what could happen
if only a small percentage of the refugees are terrorists in disguise. And many
would even call for more refugees to prove that they are not afraid, to prove
that they are doing the right thing, to prove that they are simply stupid
beyond redemption. This is an inevitable trend of event that would lead to the
destruction and an end to the European civilization, the destruction of Europe
as a modern, orderly and peaceful place to live and to work in.
Only Donald
Trump is sensible enough to know what the hell is going on and how to stop it,
to save America.

2016 US Presidential Nominee Donald Trump went on to build TRUMP ORGANISATION and now has a net worth of about US$10 BILLIONS.
DeleteIn 2007, 30 years after Trump said those words, another aspiring Presidential candidate then (albeit from a dot, oops, country which is more than 50% smaller than New York city (alone, let alone the entire US) from a state fund managing more than US$100 billion shared his "investment wisdom":
Delete"If you take care of the downside (in an investment), the upside takes care of itself."
"His" sovereign fund, under his vice-chairmanship went on an "investment binge" at the heights of the boom before the 2009 GFC ........ (billionaire Quek Leng Beng is well-known to be a SHREWD bottom fisher but someboLEE thought he had "better idea" and did the opposite (buy (almost) HIGH(est) sell (almost) low(est)))?
DeleteNew billionaire PR then in 2008 Jim Roger was so "worried" he said "it pains his heart to see ...... (the red dot) doing this ......"
The rest is history .......? (it was reported in 2009 many billions and billions were "wiped out" in troubled bank investment ........"
It is so ironical?
DeleteThe previous credential (to qualify as candidate) was to manage big fund (at least 100 million)?
But one chap lost billions and billions (albeit managing a more than US$100 billion fund, more than 1,000 times the minimum criteria)?
The job was to safe guard national reserve (from a potential rogue govt)?
DeleteBut when on record someboLEE had lost billions and billions of national reserve under his watch as vice-chair (in "potentially troubled" investments even lay person might not go near with a 10-million feet pole?), he is considered "very-qualified?
Dunno what to say except repeat 梁婆婆's words: "真的是伤脑筋喔"
The point IS:
DeleteIf the role of an EP is to foremost safeguard national reserve, is having managed a fund worth at least US$100 million (or mb twice) that far far more important than having a proven (prudent investment) track record?
Should someone responsible for having lost billions (even) qualify ?
If the role is (seriously) to "protect" national reserve, should not a criteria mandating a good investment track record the PARAMOUNT QUINTESSENTIAL PREREQUISITE than just merely having managed more than US $100 million but possibly lost billions (in buy almost near highest sell almost near lowest investments during 2008/2009)?
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump is not stupid!

ReplyDeleteYes! Donald Trump will be voted into office!!
If they called you a rogue, even losing $1 is bad, and deserving to be called a rogue.
ReplyDeleteIf they said you are the best, even losing billions is no rogue.
Technically, sinkieland's DPRK "lookalike" who arguably (and not withstanding that he) lost billions managing sinkieland's (former) iconic national shipping line within the first few years at the helm (and now in foreign hands (soon)) IRONICALLY could qualify as an EP candidate on the basis of having managed at least more than US$100 million company in assets?
DeleteThe fact that sinkieland's iconic national shipping line (built by GKS, the old guards and the PG) was lost merely a few years under his LEEDERSHIP might not "matter" under the (previous) EP qualifying criteria?
"真的是伤脑筋喔"?
Is the changes to protect the reserves or to ensure minority representation?

All we know about Trump is that the oligarchs;
who sent America’s jobs overseas,
who flooded the country with difficult-to-assimilate immigrants,
who destroyed public education,
who bailed out Wall Street and the “banks too big to fail,”
who sacrificed American homeowners and retirees living on a fixed income,
who intend to privatize both Social Security and Medicare,
(Oligarchs) who have given the public killer cops, relentless violations of privacy, the largest prison poplulation in the world, and destroyed the US Constitution in order to increase executive power over the American people, are violently opposed to Trump.
This opposition should tell us that Trump is the person we want in the Oval Office.

ReplyDeleteSunnis are world champion moron and crackpot, and all have an illusion that they can conquer the world by fucking white women, by hijabing then shout discrimination, by bombing then feign victim using 99.99% muslims good, 0.01% bad.
ReplyDeleteAs if the white man believe in them.
They are just dogs and pawns of Jews and anglo elites, just like gay, blacks and feminist.
Sunnis are loser who act macho. Without Jews, they are just piece of trash. When Sunni give Serbia trouble, Milosevic quell rebellion which cause death in Sabrenica. Sunni can only watch hopelessly their macho turn into cowardice, delivering their own head to Serbian.
Then Jews in USA cloak, bomb Serbia into submission.
In fact, no one can behave like a mad dog like Sunni. Imagine Chinese killing people shouting Confucius hu Akbar. Soon, Chinese will be genocided. But Jews keep bailing out Sunni.
Chinese have figure out that the best way against USA is to modernize. Sunni think they can solve problem memorizing koran.
Sunni got so deprave because their elites, the pervert Al Saud has prostituted to the Jews.

And hijab babes act bravado freedom fighter by crying discrimination when boss ask them take it down. They think white man so STUPID, and everyone fear them.
The only moron is Muslims.
They are hopeless people.
Moving forward, these people full of ego is going to suffer all sorts of insults, and humiliation. They are stupid and ostrich. Chinese long know the game of white man. The strength of white man lies in modernization.
To beat white man you need to modernized.
Sunni, think that the weakness of white man is they are too good to tolerant people shouting discrimination. And the strength of Islam is they can shout discrimination.
Someone said India is screwing China? In Singapore maybe. Ask them to go back and reflect on the 1962 war and how they fled with their tails between their legs. Can't even take on Pakistan want to take on China? By talking big perhaps.
ReplyDeleteNo one can take on China now, especially near her door step. The USA military now is facing a dilemma whether to hit China today or later, which is even far more difficult.
ReplyDeleteChina play the game of white man-- modernization. White man knows their strength is their military-industry complex. Unfortunately the rise of global judeo-anglo stateless supranational elites has strip mine their industry.
White man want to bring their industry back but side effects are serious. To lower their salary of worker is one choice. But that will be talent flow back to China, and USA lost more high tech industry.
The problem is China is able to keep her engineers even at low wages level. If China salary is higher the reverse brain drain afflicting white man will even be more serious. And if China revalue her currency to give people high pay, what happen is her nominal GDP will overshoot USA, which is an unpalatable event for white elites.
But keeping China at low wage level will see uSA industry keep hollowing out.
Free trade as a ricardian benefit is only a anormally and not universal case. It is good when you are a strong party, such as USA.
But USA vs China, USA is a weak party. And her best choice will be to stop all free trade with China.

ReplyDeleteModernity is a double edged sword. With it comes atomisation and lost of tradition which results in a lost of in group loyalty. Which is happening in Europe. Also modernity which promotes female education has lowered birthrates to the point that they are not sustainable. This results in migration which will doom the host country.
Israel is the only modern country in the world that has an above replacement birthrate. If a society is not sustainable then it is not good. I'd advocate for returning to the old ways.

Hmmm... I sense that your headline (Trump) has got people talking about Trump and there's no response to the 95% of your article talking about Germany.
ReplyDeleteI'll respond on the latter since it looks to me pretty ominous. Why would Germany tell it's citizens to stock up on emergency rations? The answer on the surface must be obvious - Germany is indicating that there's an unprecedented risk of unrest. So what's this unrest? It could be war, riots or insurgency.
The last, insurgency, I would rate most unlikely. So we are left with war or riots.
For war, I can only think of Russia. And war could include the whole of American-aligned-Europe against Russia.
For riots, I can think of something pretty obvious. Germany probably needs to do an about-turn on the refugee problem, but with such a large refugee population already in their country, they could face an uprising. This word uprising is normally used as indicating a population's uprising, but with the refugees and foreign citizens already entrenched, I find it appropriate to use the word uprising since there's such a huge proportion of the foreigners and their citizen-sponsors occupying that country.
As in the case of war, such an uprising might not be occurring in Germany alone. Many of the other EU states are facing the same refugee problem and therefore might be intending to make the same about-turn in concert with Germany.
I would be watching closely to see if other EU countries also tell their citizens to stock up on emergency rations. If this happens, then Singapore will be wise to do the similar.
I better stock up my mee sian mai hum.

In the 1980s, Paul Volcker raised interest rate to double digits to tame the inflation monster?
ReplyDeleteThat was after Nixon abandon the Gold peg in the 1970s?
QE1, 2, 3 in 2009 to 2013 is aka Nixon Gold Peg Abandonment Saga II?
So luck is likely and always play some part in history?

ReplyDeleteSooner or later, the FED has to do it?
Either do it soon with moderation or later like Paul Volcker in the 1980s?

ReplyDeleteIt is not about India dealing directly with China. It is the danger of coordinated attacks on all fronts all at the same time.
China can anytime take on any enemies on a one to one fight. But it will be a nightmare to deal with enemies at all fronts. Recent US diplomatic efforts are shifting to countries bordering Xinjiang.
Human labor work force is history. No human can win robotics. And China engineers and laborers are getting more expensive for a simple reason. Food and shelter is getting more expensive. Even medical and transport are also more expensive.
This is the exact Singapore problem (restructuring) and there is no solution to it even until now. Now this problem is transferred or will transfer to China as its labor cost gets more expensive compared to robots. It is simple maths as this problem will be magnified 1000 times or more. Either way China moves to replace its labor workforce with robotics will also have drastic consequences as its population is 1.4 billion. But not to replace it will also make it lose competitiveness.
How? It is getting clearer the advantage enjoyed 30 years ago may become a poison in next 30 years.
How to find money and food to fund and feed 1.4 billion populations if robots take over? The only way is to cut dead weight.... This thought is scary to even imagine.
Stop being daft and listen to the western narrative like the gospel truth. With 1.4 billion population, China is short of labour, labour too expensive? Why so naive?
ReplyDeleteChina got a big problem to find enough jobs for the billions of workers just like India. Automation, computerisation and robotics would create more jobless problems for India and China. Stop reading rubbish with thinking, use your head to think.
So easy to create jobs for more than a billion people population?
China can anytime take on any enemies on a one to one fight. But it will be a nightmare to deal with enemies at all fronts

The modern warfare changed the equation.
If any nation get into war as part of alliance, please get ready to lost one or two cities and embrace the death of millions people. Whole economy would been destroyed.
In the past, these nations can take a free ride on the war campaign against other nation.
For instance, Russia would make sure that every alliance nations (nato) get what they deserved - a NUKE attack.
If Australia or Canada get into alliance with US and attack Russia,
Russia would nuke Australia and Canada too.
Some people can think out of the box but it is of wrong box.
ReplyDeleteAll along it is all about the No.1 against No.2.
India and the rest are just a pawn. India make it or not, US is not of concern now YET.
The day India rises same as China, it will be the same scenario where US will side Pakistan which it once did and will also aid Blanga. India will face the same problem same like China and the rest of the world who will progress from stages to stages of growth. It is unavoidable.
The more the population (and the longer they live due to advance in medical science) the more the burden the country has to carry in future. Somemore China has this one child policy which created a big gap.
I think a lot of countries learn this hard truth the hard way. Maybe some knew though but there isnt much they can do. This includes Singapore, they did try hard though but productivity still goes negative same like the rest. They tried to put in alot of cheap labor enmass (3 million only) but then it brought in more problems which even today it cannot resolve totally. Somemore it even created political headaches which resulted in the retirement of a lot of cabinet ministers.
It is a double edge sword which is sharp at both ends all depending on what is your stage of growth?
The start of nuke war game has never changed any equation up till this day.
ReplyDeleteThat is the reason Russia (soviet) and US have stockpiles of more than 5000 warheads each. China has only 300.
Either side knows clearly there is no winner at all for nuke wargames (at least in theory).
Somemore the other sides has so much more which is why they will never used nukes.
However, it will be a different scenario for convectional warfare for all other fronts. They are not fighting as allies (something like 1991 gulf war - some countries are though). But the reason for China scenario is all about fighting for resources. India, China, Vietnam, Japan, Indo, pinoy all just want land or resources and nation rights....Common interest made them "allies" though which US is exploiting to it quite well.
