Wie die Epstein-Files zeigen, wollte der Finanzier und Sexualstraftäter 2009 die deutsche Privatbank Sal. Oppenheim kaufen. Sein Ziel: Eine eigene Bank in Europa, um Geschäfte abseits der von ihm verhassten US-Behörden zu führen.
#AfD und #Trump: Es ist kompliziert.

In den neu veröffentlichten Epstein-Files sind unbestätigte (!) Hinweise an das FBI gegen Trump, Epstein, Maxwell & co. Die Anschuldigungen sind nichts für schwache Nerven. Die Seiten waren kurz nach der Veröffentlichung nicht mehr abrufbar, sind aber wieder online: www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Doch 2025 ist der Verkauf von Benzin und Diesel in Deutschland um etwa 1% gestiegen. Der Straßenverkehr verursachte damit erstmals etwa genauso viele Treibhausgase wie die gesamte Industrie.

Was könnte schief gehen?! „Im Vergleich zu 2024 ist die Bevölkerung im vergangenen Jahr um rund 100.000 Einwohner zurückgegangen. Laut dem Statistischen Bundesamt lag dies insbesondere an der rückläufigen Zuwanderung nach Deutschland.“

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a 'hell no.' We cannot give one more penny to Trump's ICE while its masked, poorly trained agents terrorize people across this country. It's time for the Senate to step up and stop ICE's violence."

But at least some. Anyway: even so it’s only Jan., 2026 turns out to be a very hard year for the SF-business-model.

The most suprising fact in this is, that Russia is no longer able to defend its fleet (even so it‘s vital for Putins war economy). The attacs in Mediterran Sea led to an overstretching of Russias chain of military vessels …
