“Was ist Europa?”: Experte über die heute “größte Macht der Welt”
(18. März 2017)
„In dem Maße aber, in dem das Abendland, beleuchtet von griechischer Kultur, erfüllt vom Eindruck der gewaltigen Überlieferungen des Römischen Reichs, durch die germanische Kolonisation seine Räume erweiterte, dehnte sich räumlich jener Begriff, den wir heute Europa nennen. Ganz gleich ob nun deutsche Kaiser an der Unstrut oder auf dem Lechfeld die Einbrüche aus dem Osten abwehrten, oder Afrika in langen Kämpfen aus Spanien zurückgedrängt wurde, es war immer ein Kampf des werdenden Europas gegenüber einer ihm im tiefsten Wesen fremden Umwelt.
Wenn einst Rom seine unvergänglichen Verdienste an der Schöpfung und Verteidigung dieses Kontinents zukamen, dann übernahmen nunmehr auch Germanen die Verteidigung und den Schutz einer Völkerfamilie, die unter sich in der politischen Gestaltung und Zielsetzung noch so differenziert und auseinanderweichend sein mochte: im Gesamtbild aber doch eine blutmäßig und kulturell teils gleiche, teils sich ergänzende Einheit darstellt.”

In honoring our fallen we must also keep alive the reason that they fought and died for. John F. Kennedy: “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” We must never let our freedoms as Americans die. We cannot truly remember and honor those who fought and died for us and our way of life without remembering and honoring what they died for, lest it be in vain. I believe as Americans we have a duty to ensure that these freedoms remain for generations to come, to support and defend the U.S. Constitution and American founding principles.
Why I believe RFK Jr. will be the 2024 Democratic nominee
Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch recently used a statement in a lawsuit over the Title 42 public health order to give a scathing overview of how civil liberties were trampled during the COVID era.
The U.S., he wrote, may “have experienced the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country….Executive officials across the country issued emergency decrees on a breathtaking scale. Governors and local leaders imposed lockdown orders forcing people to remain in their homes. They shuttered businesses and schools, public and private. They closed churches even as they allowed casinos and other favored businesses to carry on. They threatened violators not just with civil penalties but with criminal sanctions too.”
Many on the left now condemning Kennedy as an “anti-vaxxer” might have no problem with these draconian actions. But guess what? Tens of millions of Americans did and still do.
Die schönsten Politiker-Zitate zur Impfpflicht
Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz:
„Wir haben keine Impfpflicht und wir wollen sie auch nicht einführen.“ (9.8.2021)
„Ich finde, es wäre falsch, wenn jetzt eine Debatte beginnt über Impfpflichten und ähnliches…“ (7.9.2021)
„Also erstens bin ich gegen eine Impfpflicht…“ (12.9.2021)
„Ich habe die ganze Zeit gesagt, dass ich für eine Impfpflicht bin, und ich bleibe dabei.“ (7.1.2022)
Karl Lauterbach:
………..
vae victis
Diese Worte werden vom römischen Geschichtsschreiber Livius (Ab urbe condita) dem Gallierkönig Brennus zugeschrieben, der nach dem Sieg über die Römer im Jahre 387 v. Chr. große Mengen an Gold als Lösegeld forderte und auf Beschwerden der Römer, dass die verwendeten Gewichte zum Abwiegen des Goldes zu schwer seien, noch zusätzlich sein Schwert auf die Waagschale warf und die vernichtend geschlagenen Römer mit dem Ausruf „vae victis → la!“ (wörtlich: „wehe den Besiegten!“) verhöhnte.[1]
Europe still lacks a unifying vision
This is not to say that strategic autonomy is a bad idea — or that the EU is doomed to geopolitical irrelevance. The prospect of a trade deal with Europe or the threat of EU sanctions can shape the behaviour of countries all over the world. But economic power and moral suasion are not always an adequate substitute for military might. (As Stalin once reportedly asked: “How many divisions has the pope?”)
“It always seems impossible until it‘s done.”

Volker Pispers in Münster: Die besten Zitate
(13.12.2008)
„Was meinen Sie, was hier los wäre, wenn viel mehr Menschen wüssten, was hier los ist?“
„Wenn zwei antreten, ist es eine Kampfkandidatur. Wenn nur einer antritt, ist es eine Wahl. Das ist Deutschland !“
Volket Pispers hat es damals schön formuliert: Mehr als eine Person bewirbt sich um einen Posten: KAMPFKANDIDATUR!!1!!!1 Eine Person bewirbt sich um einen Posten: Wahl.
I didn‘t think Biden would open with Ella Baker. Ella Baker, 1974: „You and I cannot be free in America or anywhere else where there is capitalism and imperialism.“
“It‘s not the fall that kills you; it‘s the sudden stop at the end.” ― Douglas Adams
Joseph Stalin: ‘It’s Not the People Who Vote That Count’
In lieu of a suitable source proving that Stalin uttered the quip, a number of similar quotes attributed to sources other than the Soviet dictator were offered up as possible progenitors:
“‘I care not who casts the votes of a nation, provided I can count them,’ Napoleon failed to remark.” — New York Times editorial (26 May 1880).
“There’s more to an election than mere votin’, my boy, for as an eminent American once said: ‘I care not who casts the votes of a nation if they’ll let me make the count.‘” — from Uncle Henry, a novel by George Creel, 1922.
“It’s not the voting that’s democracy, it’s the counting, Archie says.” — from Jumpers, a play by Tom Stoppard, 1972.
“Indeed, you won the elections, but I won the count.” — Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza (1896-1956), Guardian (London), 17 June 1977.
These other renderings proved, if nothing else, that the thought wasn’t necessarily original to Joseph Stalin, whether a variant uttered by him could be traced to a published source or not.
Did Hitler say the best way to control a people is to take ‚a little of their freedom at a time‘?
Besides there being no evidence that Hitler said or wrote these words, in „Mein Kampf“ or otherwise, it also represents the opposite of his actions.
Instead of small changes that slowly eroded the rights of the German people, Hitler made large changes over a short period. Within a month of rising to power in January 1933 as Germany’s chancellor, Hitler used the Reichstag Fire (the assembly location for parliament) as an excuse to issue a decree that overrode individual rights and authorized mass arrests. A month later, he passed the Enabling Act that granted him full power without having to consult other government representatives.
Did Winston Churchill Say ‘The Fascists of the Future Will Call Themselves Anti-Fascists?’
Similar quotes positing the idea that fascism would come to America disguised by a different name can be traced at least as far back as 1936 (although they weren’t attached to Churchill’s name until decades later). On 18 March 1936, for example, the Cincinnati Inquirer reported on words delivered by Norman Thomas, an American Presbyterian minister who was running for president as the Socialist Party of America’s candidate, at an informal luncheon: “Fascism is coming in the United States most probably, but it will not come under that name.”
Rudy Giuliani Says ‚Don‘t Quote Me On That‘ In Middle Of Live TV Interview
Giuliani was attempting to defend the president after the release of a 2016 audio in which Trump is heard speaking with Michael Cohen, who was his personal attorney at the time.
The two appeared to discuss buying the rights to the story of Karen McDougal, a Playboy model who claims she had an affair with Trump. Trump’s representatives at the time said they had “no knowledge of any of this.”
Giuliani had several other unusual moments in the interview.
