The one constant in an ever-changing universe is the hypocrisy within the positions of the left-wing ideology.
In an earlier reference, Germany demanded the EU stay united in the Paris Climate Treaty until President Trump withdrew; then, immediately Germany went solo and said they would not adhere to the communal climate dictates they previously demanded.
In the most recent example Angela Merkel goes rogue and orders 30 million doses of COVID vaccine from pharmaceutical company Pfizer. Outside the EU plan for their collective distribution.
“It is known that Germany has placed an order for 30 million doses of the anti-Covid vaccine, bilaterally, with Pfizer and BioNtech”, which will add to the quota of 55.8 million destined for the country. in the distribution of the 300 million doses ordered by the European Union
The spokesman for the German health ministry, Jens Spahn, said in response to a question during the government press conference in Berlin. (link)
Ultimately, each leader should act according to their own nations’ best interests; that’s the essential underpinning of nationalism. However, it is a little beyond hypocritical for Germany to lead the collectivist argument while selectively picking and choosing which of those “greater good” demands they individually choose to adhere to. I digress…
Let them fight for it.
Especially given that I don’t want it.
Never trust the Germans. Especially when they have an autocratic leader.
As if Merkel was a nationalist.
It’s either for all the illegals; or proof that it’s poison.
Now she’ll still be in office on January 21, it would be lovely if we could make sure that the same can be said about the actual patriot.

Maybe Merkel owes FAVORS to people.
“Maybe”?
Maybe she owns stock.
Is Fauxi on the list, I wonder?
FYI: Pfizer is an American company listed on the NYSE. Anyone can own it, anyone can short it.
However, it is a little beyond hypocritical for Germany to lead the collectivist argument while selectively picking and choosing which of those “greater good” demands they individually choose to adhere to
Maybe so….but it is also historically accurate.
Meanwhile, Great Britain reportedly gives up concessions like fishing rights on the Brexit break, ridiculous.
As Scott Adams continually says, pointing out hypocrisy is worthless because it doesn’t move the needle of public opinion. He’s tried to explain why – and his explanations make no sense to me personally – but the fact is he’s correct. No reveal of hypocrisy changes a measurable number of minds. Adams is a persuasion expert. He’s made me feel every time I read about some leftist’s hypocrisy that it’s infuriating but a waste of our time to point it out to their followers.
Because they feel justified. It’s like people pointing out that Christians support Trump but he’s not a perfect Christian. Meanwhile the left makes us live up to our own rules, but they don’t live by others.
All vassal states of the EU are equal. One remains more equal than others.
A vaccine for an illness with a 99.5 percent recovery rate for the majority of people is stupid. The SCAMdemic needs to end.
It only makes sense for the elderly and maybe those with dangerous comorbidities. There’s not enough money in that, though, and not enough curtailment of freedom.
BINGO!!! Winner, winner, chicken dinner!!!

(Merkel…was her father a member of the Hitler Youth?)
Merkel was born Angela Dorothea Kasner in 1954, in Hamburg, West Germany, the daughter of Horst Kasner (1926–2011; né Kaźmierczak),[18][19] a Lutheran pastor and a native of Berlin, and his wife Herlind (1928–2019; née Jentzsch), born in Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland), a teacher of English and Latin. She has two younger siblings, Marcus Kasner, a physicist, and Irene Kasner, an occupational therapist. In her childhood and youth, Merkel was known among her peers by the nickname “Kasi”, derived from her last name Kasner.[20]
Merkel is of German and Polish descent. Her paternal grandfather, Ludwik Kasner, was a German policeman of Polish ethnicity, who had taken part in Poland’s struggle for independence in the early 20th century.[21] He married Merkel’s grandmother Margarethe, a German from Berlin, and relocated to her hometown where he worked in the police. In 1930, they Germanized the Polish name Kaźmierczak to Kasner.[22][23][24][25] Merkel’s maternal grandparents were the Danzig politician Willi Jentzsch, and Gertrud Alma née Drange, a daughter of the city clerk of Elbing (now Elbląg, Poland) Emil Drange. Since the mid 1990s, Merkel has publicly mentioned her Polish heritage on several occasions and described herself as a quarter Polish, but her Polish roots became better known as a result of a 2013 biography.[26]
Religion played a key role in the Kasner family’s migration from West Germany to East Germany.[27] Merkel’s paternal grandfather was originally Catholic but the entire family converted to Lutheranism during the childhood of her father,[23] who later studied Lutheran theology in Heidelberg and Hamburg. In 1954, when Angela was just three months old, her father received a pastorate at the church in Quitzow [de] (a quarter of Perleberg in Brandenburg), which was then in East Germany. The family moved to Templin and Merkel grew up in the countryside 90 km (56 mi) north of East Berlin.[28]
In 1968, Merkel joined the Free German Youth (FDJ), the official communist youth movement sponsored by the ruling Marxist–Leninist Socialist Unity Party of Germany.[29][30][31] Membership was nominally voluntary, but those who did not join found it difficult to gain admission to higher education.[32] She did not participate in the secular coming of age ceremony Jugendweihe, however, which was common in East Germany. Instead, she was confirmed.[33]
During this time, she participated in several compulsory courses on Marxism-Leninism with her grades only being regarded as “sufficient”.[34] Merkel later said that “Life in the GDR was sometimes almost comfortable in a certain way, because there were some things one simply couldn’t influence.”
Was Angela Merkel A Stasi Informer? Some say, “Ja”
https://adarapress.com/2015/10/19/was-angela-merkel-a-stasi-informer-some-say-ja/
Merkel is admitting there are significantly more people living in Germany than they are publicly reporting. Europe is awash with undocumented immigrants to the point the governments do not even know who is living within their borders.
It’s not like her offspring will have to suffer the destruction of Western Europe she’s wrought. Theresa May, Macron, Merkel. Globalists tend to be childless. They have no skin in the game. Kamala Harris is another.
Won’t it be ironic if the nation that brought about the Nuremburg trials decides to force all their citizens to be vaccinated. And it’s likely to happen too!
You may not mean to but you are identifying the United States.
Never forget that dear Angela was a card carrying member of the German Communist Youth Organization. That organization made the Hitler Youth look civil and humane, in comparison. Communism she practiced had nothing to with being a form of economics as it did being a form of repressive government. If there is one lesson I learned when stationed in Germany, the East Germans could do repression really well.
There is an interesting point of History along those lines. After WWII, Stalin made a major issue of neutralizing Germany by removing “the leadership of Prussian (East Germany)”. The Soviets even went 1 better and converted the Prussians to being “communists”. The Prussians and East Germans are still “communists” today.
Germany is consistent among EU countries in having one of the lowest, often the lowest, opinions of the US.
I wholeheartedly disagree with Patton’s assessment of the German people. Probably just saw them loaded up on meth and so full of energy.
considering Nazism began in Munich of West Germany, maybe our soldiers should have stopped at the rhine and let the people of West Germany suffer the fate those of east and Mittel Germany
This is no digression. Leftists are hypocrites.
maybe next time there’s a gulf crisis Merkel cn send her soldiers to die for oil
IDGAF either way, as long as we don’t send any Americans to the Middle East. I’m sure the see eye ay is already cooking up the next bogus “Assad gassed his people again” crock of shlt. That way Obama Administration retreads can push for the US to re-start trying to topple Assad.
Moderna, Pfizer and BioNTech injections contain petroleum based polyethylene glycol, which is also used as automotive antifreeze, for those whose doctors recommend additional cold weather protection.
I don’t think so.

Funny, though.
Hey Tangled, are you going to the rally in D.C. on the 6th?
No current plans…I may try St Paul, if there is a push there.
It’s also used as a laxative, lol.
I wonder if Angela Merkel is aware of what the Pfizer vaccine can do?
“And I am not a lone nut in considering this or contemplating the possibility. Dr. Mike Yeadon and Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg both warn that the Pfizer vaccine will likely impair our ability to procreate.
* This link no longer takes you directly to the above article as WordPress has since suspended Health and Money News for violation of “Terms of Service.”Dr. Mike Yeadon and Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg are not some fringe medics with pet theories forged in fevered imaginations.
Dr. Yeadon was former Head of Research and vice-president at Pfizer and Dr. Wodarg is an MD, PhD, epidemiologist, lung specialist and former Chairman of the Health Committee of the Council of Europe.
Professor Sir John Bell top UK Covid advisor and member of SAGE startled his interviewer when he said:
“Germany first” would actually be “Deutschland über alles“, now wouldn’t it?
COVID VACCINE OVERDOSE PUTS 8 CARE HOME WORKERS IN HOSPITAL IN NORTHERN GERMANY
5 times the dose
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9093049/Vaccine-overdose-puts-German-care-workers-hospital.html
The incident came after some German districts declined to use vaccines received over the weekend on suspicion that cold conditions were interrupted during delivery.
No nation has friends only interests.
Charles de Gaulle
More evidence the E.U. is the latest attemp at German hegemony over Europe.
I don’t know about you, but if Angela Merkel wants to take 30 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine I’m OK with it.
Let the Socialist countries have it. Research is underway to show the vaccine kills sperm!
I work as mental health professional and was offered frontline workers’ first in line for vaccine status. No thanks. The vaccines will be given through the county health department with the assistance of the national guard. I live in southern middle TN.
Forgot to mention we do not see clients in the building. It’s all phone calls.
Angela Merkel does the snake dance. Before you watch, just know that what has been seen cannot be unseen.
Looks like she was on drugs there or somethin..
Looks like propaganda to me. The goal of the propaganda is anyones guess, but the globalists are diabolical so it is evil whatever it is and yes, Merkel is a globalist. This has ZERO to do with “Germany First”
Bibi had it right
So the total will vaccinate half the German population. I suspect half will refuse.
The vaccine is immoral in that it is tested on the cloned cell line of an aborted fetus.
It also puts an rna strand into your immune cells that was created in the cells of monkeys.
A Christian or animal rights person would refuse.
As well as people believing in natural health more than Big Pharma.
There is nothing wrong with Merkel here. There is everything wrong with those who believed, like naive children, the story of “we are equal nations in EU”.
By the way, Merkel also placed an order for 1 Million illegal migrants in 2015, also in total disregard of EU treaties which say such decisions cannot be taken solely by a country. That, by the way, was what pushed Brexit vote over 50%.
Pfizer is also partnering with a Chinese company.
