German Chancellor Angela Merkel told a gathering of young members of her conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party this weekend that the “multikulti” concept – where people of different backgrounds would live together happily – does not work in Germany.
At “the beginning of the 1960s our country called the foreign workers to come to Germany and now they live in our country,” said Ms. Merkel at the event in Potsdam, near Berlin. “We kidded ourselves a while. We said: ‘They won’t stay, [after some time] they will be gone,’ but this isn’t reality. And of course, the approach [to build] a multicultural [society] and to live side by side and to enjoy each other … has failed, utterly failed.”
The crowd gathered in Potsdam greeted the above remark, delivered from the podium with fervor by Ms. Merkel, with a standing ovation. And her comments come just days after a study by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation think tank (which is affiliated with the center-left Social Democratic Party) found that more than 30 percent of people believed Germany was “overrun by foreigners” who had come to Germany chiefly for its social benefits.
The study also found that 13 percent of Germans would welcome a “Führer” – a German word for leader that is explicitly associated with Adolf Hitler – to run the country “with a firm hand.”

Example: 97 percent of world supplier of rare earth metals now choked the supply down, becoming a world monetary power through flooding the market while artificially keeping the yuan under valued, military spending escalating at a rate of 20 percent per year, and negotiating with hostile countries giving nuclear secrets e.g. Pakistani reactors. That is the short list. What do you think?

Hello, I’m starting a business targeting debt consolidation and bankruptcy lawyers, the service that I will be providing is bringing them clients. I will network out and bring in clients to the law firms that I’m working with. The law firm only pays if the client does business with them and they don’t pay me until they get paid! My question is, how much do I charge them for such a service and is this a good niche to target? I want it to be fair on both ends so that way I can keep them fed with new clients so they can stay continuously busy on what their good at and grow their firm while at the same time turning a profit for myself and growing my business. So what percent of the revenue generated would a law firm be willing to payout for such a service and is that the best niche to target? Thank you so much for you advice!

Aren’t 30 percent of kids in welfare? I don’t think they are politically affiliated with any party. Also, I thought poor people in general don’t vote. What’s going?
