German teen interrograted for spreading “unconstitutional content” on social media Three police officers stormed a German high school last month and took a 16-year-old girl out of class to question her about a TikTok video she posted in which she called Germany her home and not just a place on a map. The incident occurred on Feb. 27 at the Richard Wossidlo High School in Ribnitz-Damgarten‚ Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. In an interview with the German news outlet Junge Freiheit‚ the mother of the student explained how her daughter had been suspected of spreading “unconstitutional content on social media.” The school principal had been made aware of her TikTok account and “informed the police about a possible criminal matter‚” Marcel Opitz‚ the press spokesman for Stralsund police station‚ told the site. The offensive content is understood to have been two posts. The first included a joke about how the Smurfs and Germany have something in common; they are both blue — an apparent reference to support for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party whose primary color is blue. The AfD is now a mainstream party across Germany and sits second in national polls‚ much to the irritation of the German political and media establishment.Introducing Next Level Foundational Energy from Dr. Jones Naturals starting at 30% off!

The second post saw the German teen seemingly innocuously refer to Germany as her home and not just a place on a map. That’s what we call a ✨police state✨ https://t.co/laAARvANNU— Eva Vlaardingerbroek (@EvaVlaar) March 15‚ 2024 The 16-year-old was subsequently apprehended at her school in front of classmates and given what the police explained to Junge Freiheit when asked what they described as a “risk of harm” talk by officers. “I am horrified‚” the girl’s mother said. “This is such violent‚ if I may say so‚ Stasis shit‚ I would never have believed what was done to my daughter here possible in my entire life. “My daughter posted a Smurfs video on TikTok a few months ago. It said that the Smurfs and Germany have something in common: The Smurfs are blue and so is Germany. That was probably a funny AfD advertising post. And then‚ she once posted that Germany is not a place‚ but a home.” The mother explained how‚ according to her daughter‚ “three police officers suddenly appeared in the classroom and picked her up‚” escorting her away “like she’s a criminal… That’s what made me so incredibly angry.” The girl was reportedly told by police that “for her own protection” she should “refrain from posting such posts in the future‚” but accepted that she had not committed a criminal offense. However‚ the state interior minister‚ Christian Pegel‚ said he had “no problems” with the police’s behavior of coming to the girl’s classroom and pulling her‚ saying their approach to the threat was “proportionate.” “I believe that proportionality was maintained‚” he stated. When the mother questioned the school principal and told him to contact her first if he thought there was a problem‚ he “told me that he wasn’t allowed to do that‚ he was told to inform the police immediately.” Both the school and its principal declined to issue a statement to the German press on the matter‚ but the issue has now been brought by the AfD to the state parliament. “This scandalous incident reveals that our schools are being used more and more to sniff out attitudes‚” said Enrico Schult‚ the party’s education policy spokesman. “If there was actually an order from the Ministry of Education about this‚ it must have political consequences. “A headmaster should stand in front of his students and at least take the parents into his confidence first‚ instead of calling three police officers because he receives an anonymous denunciation email about a student‚” he added.

By providing military aid to Kiev‚ the US has strained its own arsenals; the Congressionally approved money pot has run dry The US Defense Department has asked the nation’s  Congress to allocate at least $6.5 billion to replenish its stocks‚ which have been depleted after two years of constant weapon deliveries to Ukraine‚ according to a document seen by Bloomberg. The Pentagon alerted Congress that spending on replenishment was a high priority in the proposals it submitted last month‚ the outlet reported on Thursday. The shopping list reportedly includes a wide range of weapons‚ ammunition and critical components for the production of 155mm shells‚ HARM anti-radar missiles‚ Patriot interceptors‚ GMLRS rockets and anti-tank TOWs. While the Pentagon estimated the price of its immediate replenishment needs at $6.5 billion‚ multiple US media reports suggested earlier this week that the total deficit could be at least $10 billion. Unless the shortfall is compensated‚ the “ongoing hole” will put a strain on the US military‚ one source told Politico. Washington had provided more than $75 billion in cash and equipment for Ukraine’s war effort by the end of last year‚ far surpassing other Western donors‚ but the deliveries stopped after the Congressionally approved money pot ran dry.Winter Sun Plus is NOW 25% off!

The White House has requested over $60 billion in supplemental Ukraine assistance‚ but the Republican-controlled House has stonewalled repeated calls by US President Joe Biden to release the money. Biden has blamed US lawmakers for Kiev’s recent battlefield losses‚ including last month’s fall of Avdeevka to Russian forces. Despite running out of money‚ the White House has found enough “unanticipated savings” at the Pentagon to announce a new aid package valued at up to $300 million this week. The Pentagon still has the authority to send some $4 billion worth of aid to Ukraine‚ but Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has so far been reluctant to tap into that fund‚ with no assurances the money will be replaced by US lawmakers.

Amazingly‚ there was no indication of a problem and no emergency was ever declared during the flight Literally‚ not a day goes by without Boeing suffering some major incident‚ whether it is doors and tires falling off‚ runway excursions‚ engine fires‚ hydraulic leaks‚ pilot seats flailing around the cockpit and slamming the yoke and‚ OH YEAH‚ a “suicided” whistleblower who told a close friend if anything happened to him‚ it most certainly wasn’t suicide. Well‚ we can now add one more: a United Airlines flight – because it’s never American or Delta… always United – that took off from San Francisco International Airport Friday morning landed in Oregon with a missing external panel‚ abc7 reported citing to officials.

Once the plane reached the gate‚ an external panel was found to be missing‚ halting operations at the airport while a runway safety check was conducted‚ airport director Amber Judd told The NY Post.Survival Shield X-3 is BACK at the Infowars Store!

Airport staff searched for the missing panel on the airport premises‚ but were unable to locate it. “After finding no debris on the airfield‚ normal operations at MFR resumed a few minutes later‚” she said. United Airlines said it plans a “thorough examination” of the 25-year-old plane and will “perform all the needed repairs before it returns to service.” Who knows‚ maybe another whistleblower will “commit suicide” too. “We’ll also conduct an investigation to better understand how this damage occurred‚” the airline added. The Federal Aviation Administration will also investigate the incident‚ a spokesperson said. Incidents have plagued Boeing airplane in the past few weeks: on Monday‚ a United Airlines Flight heading from Sydney to San Francisco‚ was forced to turn around mid-flight due to a hydraulic leak. The Boeing 777-300 plane‚ which was carrying 167 passengers and 16 crew member‚ landed safely back in Sydney. Hours earlier‚ a Boeing 787 Dreamliner en route Sydney to Auckland‚ New Zealand experienced a technical issue that resulted in injuries to 50 passengers.

One might assume that two unpopular wars are enough for any president‚ but not necessarily so... The United States is stoking tensions with China over Taiwan‚ which is internationally-recognized as a province of the People’s Republic of China. With this fall’s presidential election fast approaching‚ President Joe Biden is presiding over two major US-backed wars. In the Donbass‚ the United States supports Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an increasingly quixotic proxy conflict against one of the world’s foremost military powers. In occupied Gaza‚ the US provides limitless military aid as Israel engages in an operation against mostly unarmed Palestinians that has been deemed plausibly genocidal by the International Court of Justice. One might assume that two unpopular wars are enough for any president. Not so‚ say analysts Steve Poikonen and Jim Kavanagh‚ who joined Sputnik’s The Critical Hour program on Friday to discuss Biden’s recent act of saber rattling thousands of miles away from the United States. “‘Taiwan confirms presence of US special forces‚’” said host Garland Nixon‚ reading the headline of a story reported by RT. “‘US special forces are stationed on some of Taiwan’s outlying islands.’ Well‚ one of the groups of islands is called the Kinmen Islands – they’re a little over a mile from the Chinese [mainland] shore – as the US runs right up to Russia’s border‚ as there’s a disaster in the Middle East.”Our fan-favorite Turbo Force Plus is now 40% off! See for yourself the delicious one-of-a-kind energy boost infowarriors CRAVE! “These lunatics in the Biden administration are doubling down‚ tripling down‚” he claimed. “If there isn’t enough trouble‚ they’re coming right up to China’s border and looking for trouble.” “Taiwan is a province of the People’s Republic of China‚” noted Kavanagh‚ who maintains a substack site at thepolemicist.net. “That is the stance of the international [community]‚ of the UN‚ it’s the stance – the official stance – of the United States government… This is as if China put a permanent presence of Chinese special forces troops on Long Island. I mean‚ this is crazy.” “If they don’t think the Chinese are going to be PO’d about this‚ I mean‚ anybody would be‚” he added. “They are de-facto trying to create‚ posit and position Taiwan as an independent country‚ and that is against the entire one-China policy that’s supposed to have been in place since 1972 when Nixon went to China.” Former President Richard Nixon’s engagement with the People’s Republic of China brought an end to decades of US-led embargo on the country. Gradually‚ other countries warmed to the Communist-led government as well as international organizations recognized the PRC instead of breakaway leadership in Taiwan. China emerged as a major economic power as Western countries moved manufacturing there to take advantage of cheap labor costs. But emerging Chinese influence – the Asian country now leads the world in Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) – has startled the United States. US relations with China have deteriorated in the years since former US President Barack Obama announced a “pivot to Asia” in an attempt to out-compete Beijing. More recently‚ observers worry war will break out as the United States seeks to guard its global hegemonic status. “This is putting the American people on a trajectory towards war with China‚ and they [the Biden administration] seem to want it‚” warned Kavanagh. “What are they going to get from it? Really‚ think for 10 seconds about it. It’s going to be a disaster for everybody.” Meanwhile‚ Poikonen noted recent reports that a US Army restructuring will re-position America’s armed forces to fight a large-scale conflict in the Eastern Hemisphere. The effort will create at least three new task forces dedicated to combat in the Pacific region. News of the restructuring follows a $75 million US weapons package for authorities in Taiwan that will allow the island’s armed forces to integrate with foreign military technology. “The level of delusion that you have to be operating under or the misplaced loyalty you’re putting into your drone programs and things of that nature – it is counterintuitive to anything other than a nationwide suicide mission‚” said Poikonen. “We’ve known that there are US soldiers in Taiwan since they talked about sending training officers‚” he added. “That’s what they originally said about Vietnam. ‘Oh‚ we’re just sending some guys over to do a little bit of training. It’s okay‚ they’re going to be in a supervisory role‚ or an advisory capacity.’ That’s how all of these conflicts usually start.” Alex Jones Warns – Beware the Ides of March

Republican Voters Against Trump to deploy a series of anti-Trump ads on streaming platforms‚ billboards‚ radio‚ digital media An anti-Trump neoconservative cabal is raising $50 million in a campaign to keep open-border‚ spendthrift Democrats in power this November. Republican Voters Against Trump (RVAT)‚ headed by Bill Kristol ally and GOP strategist Sarah Longwell‚ will use the money to deploy a series of anti-Trump ads on streaming platforms‚ billboards‚ radio and digital media‚ The Hill reports. The ads will run in the battleground states of Arizona‚ Georgia‚ Michigan‚ Nevada‚ Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Longwell believes the anti-Trump coalition built up in 2020 was one of the determining factors in that contest‚ and that expanding the demographic in 2024 could be a determining factor in whether Trump returns to the White House.“Former Republicans and Republican-leaning voters hold the key to 2024‚ and reaching them with credible‚ relatable messengers is essential to re-creating the anti-Trump coalition that made the difference in 2020‚” Longwell‚ the president of the group’s Republican Accountability PAC‚ said in a Tuesday statement. -The HillWinter Sun Plus is NOW 25% off! Boost your natural defenses with this powerful vitamin D3 and K formula! “It establishes a permission structure that says that — whatever their complaints about Joe Biden — Donald Trump is too dangerous and too unhinged to ever be president again. Who better to make this case than the voters who used to support him?” Longwell continued. The rubenesque Longwell and Kristol are behind “Republicans for Ukraine‚” which was launched last August and exists to convince congressional Republicans to protect Ukraine’s borders‚ as opposed to America’s. In order to sell the Ukraine support‚ the group planned to similarly launch ads online‚ on billboards‚ and on nationwide television. “It was alarming in the focus groups to see so many Republican voters talk about Ukraine or [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky in disparaging terms‚” said Longwell. “But we also knew‚ running focus groups‚ that there were plenty of people who still kind of had the belief that we should be supporting Ukraine‚ that it was important to stand up against invading forces.“ Important to stand up against invading forces?
