The German government released their version of the producer price index for inflation, and they are reporting 30.9% inflation for products leaving German factories. [DETAILS HERE] That’s the highest rate of inflation since shortly after the second world war.
The inflation rate is being driven mostly by energy costs which are more than 80% higher than last year. However, each nation’s overall inflation rate is also driven by the amount of central bank spending they used during the COVID economic lockdowns. The more any govt spent on subsidies, the more money they printed, the more they devalued their money and subsequently, the higher their current rate of inflation.
Germany is the largest economy in the European Union. This level of inflation within Germany has major ramifications.
First, with this level of energy inflation Germany cannot afford to stop purchasing Russian energy products. There’s no way for Germany to join or increase western sanctions against oil and gas they need to stay sufficient. Germany is dependent on Russian energy.
Second, with Germany’s economy this vulnerable; and with Germany being so dependent on Russian energy; Germany will have to distance itself further from any Ukraine assistance. In the background of western voices already being upset with Germany for not providing more support for Ukraine, their economic vulnerability explains their unwillingness. The U.S. proxy war against Russia does not benefit Germany, at all.
Third, as a result of the first two points, Volodymyr Zelenskyy will be even more mad than he was yesterday. Additionally, the German position makes Biden more vulnerable because it forces the U.S. to take a bigger public footprint on the entire operation. This explains why the people in the background of the White House are saying Ron Klain needs to quickly extricate Biden from his unilateral focus on Ukraine.
If the White House doesn’t cut Zelenskyy loose soon, the anchor of fail Ukraine represents will further sink Biden. Sooner or later the White House, Administrative Deep State, Dept of State and Intelligence apparatus along with the total foreign policy establishment and all the politicians who benefit financially from their use of Ukraine, are going to have to give up.
With countries like Germany needing to back away, it becomes harder for the Biden administration to retain the false front around NATO as a justification for their intervention and money laundering operations.
Additionally, if the French election goes to Le Pen on Sunday, well, katybar the door – because it’s complete and total game over…. Ukraine will be cut loose and someone from the CIA will assassinate Zelenskyy on the way out, leaving a note on the nightstand that says, “Putin did it.”
GERMANY – German annual producer price inflation topped 30% in March, the country’s Federal Statistics Office said on Wednesday. That’s its highest level since the agency began collecting data 73 years ago.
The biggest culprit? Energy prices, which rose nearly 84% from the same month last year. “Mainly responsible for the high rise of energy prices were the strong price increases of natural gas… which was [up] 144.8% on March 2021,” the statistics office said in a statement.
It is one of first signs of the huge impact Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is having on the German economy, Europe’s biggest. Producer prices rose by nearly 5% between February and March alone.
Consumers should brace themselves. Factory gate inflation feeds into retail prices, and shoppers can expect to spend more on everything from furniture to meat, according to Wednesday’s figures.
German consumer price inflation is already at a 41-year high, hitting 7.3% last month. Energy prices were the main contributor, up almost 40% from the previous month. (read more)
Hahahahaha just, hahahahaha 🤣😂😂🤣🤣🥲
And, I do so with vast amounts of sincerity. Its very serious but if TPTB don’t give a fook, well, neither do I.
Don’t worry folks- FJB has the Easter Bunny to point him in the right direction.
Indeed DD!!😎
👉 Once that Reset Bull leaves the gate, there’s no telling how it’ll behave 👈
👍 Cue up some Creedance Clearwater Revival, “Looking Out My Backdoor” might even see an Easter Bunny dancing with JoeBama on the lawn with all the other happy creatures. 👌
“Once that Reset Bull leaves the gate, there’s no telling how it’ll behave”
Perfect. I will spread that, with due attribution.

Hahaha – indeed, that Reset Bull looks awesome on that spreadsheet and in the conference room presentation…but the map is never the territory
What I see happening next is a worldwide very deep recession. And the countries in the EU will continue to print more money to pay for all those free programs. Can’t have those Middle East Illegals not having free stuff or you would have major riots. It is going to get real interesting when the food shortages hit. How fast will the people turn on their WEF politicians. Who would have thought that it would take a Russian to save the west.
It is easy to print money. They are going to learn that it is impossible to print food or fuel. If it ain’t there, it can not be bought.
I have some Weimar Germany 1,000,000,000,000 ( 1 Trillion) Marks from 1923 !
Maybe they will finally be worth something? 🙂
You could make that 1923 DM a prize in a box of cracker jacks. That actually happened. Kids in America became “millionaires” by spending a nickle for C-jacks
And with the way the charge of racism is being hyper devalued, I wouldnt be surprised if you start finding race cards in your Cracker Jack box
Only as a collectors item maybe.
Otherwise currency, any currency, is poised to be absolutely worthless very soon.
Just look at Shanghai — starving people locked in their high-rise apartments. It’s a horrible future or no future for them. I’m truly worried for the people of the world because we all know the WEF believes you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet.
Germany is used to printing its Mark. That is one thing which led to the downfall of the Weimar Republic and the rise of Adolf Hitler.
You go…
No longer “TPTB” they have repeatedly shown themselves to be “TIIC” (The Idiots In Charge) and will soon be the Insane Idiots In Charge No More.
Touché, TIIC it is!
From your keyboard to God’s ear!
Yes. Pointed straight at the spring of European discontent. FJB
The only country in this proxy war against Putin is the USA deep state. We stand to lose everything and gain nothing.
“We stand to lose everything and gain nothing.”
So, you have figured out the globalists’ plan for us, heh?
So how much of the DeepState is George Soros? He did the Middle East to Europe to destroy them. He did South America to the USA to destroy them. Now he’s working to move Ukrainians out to surrounding countries. Is he one of the Nazi’s Putin speaks of?
“The U.S. proxy war against Russia does not benefit Germany, at all.” – Sundance.
The U.S. proxy war against Russia does not benefit America, at all not one wit!!!! There is no existential threat to America from Russia their population, economy and military are too small. The real existential threat to America are the ChiComs in China and corrupt ChiCom Joe and his corrupt immoral son Hunter are tied to them like puppets on strings!!! Hopefully the deep state will fail in their efforts to gin up the proxy war to destroy Putin! We need some wins/victories!!!
And let’s not forget the Clintons.
We get to use up old munitions so we can buy new fresh ones! Cui Bono?
Buy fresh munitions at 10x the old price!
What a deal!!
Chi bono? The neocons, the warmongers, the IC, the deep state, the Pentagon, last and least ChiCom Joe! All of whom don’t give a rat’s ass that We The People want! We don’t want anything to do with a proxy war in the Ukraine! No military equipment or aid, no military advisors and for the love of country no troops!
Did that in the “Gulf War” as well.
Thankfully, historically, Germans never over-react to inflation.
Giddyup.
so right! Weimar number 2
as Churchill said something like “the hun is either at your throat or grovelling at your feet ” such a sense o humor those jerries
Boom times for the wheelbarrow industry.
The German reaction is going to be incendiary – life with hyperinflation is burned into their cultural memory.
Hilda get the wheelbarrow out of the shed. Rouse!
Germany wants no part of this. They were quite happy with their pipeline deals with Russia. Germany is ruled by official communists unlike our unofficial situation. They have no problem with totalitarianism. The Germans and the EU are going to let O’biden hang us, but they want out.
Opinion polls in Europe, and especially Germany, consistently show a very large majority of the population views the US as the biggest threat to world peace. German politicians are, as everywhere, further leftwing than the general population.
US presence in Europe is viewed the same way as leftist politicians in the US view military bases in their districts or states. Simply as a source of outside money propping up the local economy. The US is the only country that tolerates gigantic trade deficits in manufactured goods. Germany in particular would never tolerate the massive imbalance the US has with Germany.
West Europe has a massive advantage in wealth, industry, and technology to deter Russia without any US presence. Only the willing disdain of the US government for the good of its own citizens lets Europe get away with this.
That industry will go right down the sinkhole the moment Germany puts a ban on Russian energy, as the German hierarchy says they absolutely will do as soon as next week. Industrialists are screaming at the top of their lungs, all shouting warnings. What a mess for them initiated by them. It seems most observers saw this coming. Most…except the Germans.
industrialists again screaming for Hit la
The U.S.A. is second or first equal with China.
I’m an American and I view the US as the biggest threat to world peace.
me too. why did we kill all those gooks in Nam? rag heads in Iraq? I’m asking, WHY.
As does much of the world.
Germany and France will hang UK out to dry as well. EU hasn’t forgiven us for voting to leave their extortion racket.
Merkel’s handiwork. She really loved living in East Germany.
Thank you for pointing that out – she was indeed a solid young commie her entire childhood, raised in the party
… And paying homage to the Stasi.
She’s no longer in charge. Her remit (open borders with a culture completely antithetical to Western cultures and mores) has been the shiv in the side of the European Union. I wonder what she’s up to now, behind the curtain, so to speak.
She wasn’t actually German in her familial background.
I would like to ask the Chancellor to help me with my German grammar: what is the correct past modal in the sentence: “we should not have laughed at Trump”. Thanks.
Nicht ist wahr, alles ist erlaubt.
Schadenfreude
Wirf hatten Trump nicht auslachen sollen.
“It’s easier to fool people than it is to convince them that they’ve been fooled.” Mark Twain
Exactly 💯 💯
Yes, but when fairies and Unicorn farts, run smack dab into REALITY and enlightened self interest,…people are forced to admit to themselves they have been fooled, and to vow “never again”.
The Globalists DO NOT have the control they THINK they have, and the control they would NEED to have, to actually carry out their fairytale nefarious plan.
Funny how falling, seems a lot like flying,…right up to the end.
These idiots are like Wily Coyote; they keep falling off the cliff, boom.
And they get back up, and do it AGAIN.
Hey… didn’t Putin build them a pipeline – that the Germans asked for – that they then refused to certify because it wasn’t locally owned through a German company.
Then they shut down 3 nuclear reactors on 12/31 because { Greta }. What about all that free wind and solar energy?
Yea.. sympathies.
You can buy people off by printing money, but you can’t print food.
Not yet.
Rice paper, soy ink.
Voila!
Russia wins again.
I am so praying that Le Pen wins, but the WEF, NATO, the US deep state with every intelligence branch and DOD, along with US NGO’s, Victoria Nuland, etc. are all going to be actively working and working to get Macron into office, no matter what they have to do. So, it is probably a done deal, but I will still pray.
The US needs to extricate itself, one way or another. They aren’t going to win this and are going to look like fools for all the money they spent on Ukraine for a fail. They need to calm Zelensky down, tell him the facts of life, and push him to the negotiating table.
Zelensky has no say in this. He is merely another puppet of the deep State Department. FJB and FBO.
If this US administration truly cared about the Ukrainian people, they would be pushing for negotiations and peace.
They are not.
Zelkrnskyy is useful fool who’s usefulness is running out. His country is about to become land bound and cur in half. Putin is the putting his napkin on and putting salt and pepper on that canary. FJB has been on the wrong end of every foreign policy decision his entire time in DC.
Now is the time for the EU to cut themselves off from their #1 supplier of energy.
Just think of how much that’ll help the citizens of their country.
/s off.
State department run by limp wristed queer computer nerds is losing to realpolitik? I’m shocked, shocked I tell you.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
The comments on this thread have been excellent but this one is superb.
Why didn’t the UN negotiate a truce when the first Russian troops crossed into Ukraine? What are they collecting billions for?
Why didn’t Biden try to negotiate a deal BEFORE Russia invaded Ukraine since he knew 3 months ahead of time what they were doing?
Total fail for the grifters – Biden, Victoria Nuland, Deep State and UN.
Things looked to me as Biden pushing Russia to attack and then they did and now they are flattening Ukraine. Now seems like he is doing all he can to drive us to WWIII.
Excellent questions and observations.
Perhaps those same questions and observations could apply to the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Because the state department wanted the war.
because the vaccines haven’t killed enough people yet. let’s see Russia killed about 30 million in WWII, Mao killed about 100 -200 million for some reason. the freaks in charge don’t like people so they come up with clever ways to get rid of us.
The Social Democratic Party of Germany is Marxist. The reality is they are more aligned with Putin/Russia than with America although they certainly are more encouraged with the O’biden regime than a Trump led America. O’biden and the Germans want the destruction of America. And that has to be why we are in this Ukraine mess.
Huh?
Ya think Merkel is glad she is out of the limelight.
Looking forward to the riots once the EU Credit Score System gets rolled out.
Time to bury these Socialist Governments and leaders.
The Germans are very receptive to following orders. They will embrace social credit scores.
Will be interesting. There is Berlin and then the rest of the country.
Don’t know about that.
The Canadians were VERY obediant, with two years of some of the most onerous of Covid mandates,….
But then they rose up, and said “ENOUGH” and refused to be intimidated,…
And, did NOT take kindly, toJustin freezing the accounts.
Just sayin, I would not make ANY blanket statements, regarding HOW a population will respond, as this War against the Globalists plays out.
Well stated…Trudeau was recently in Halifax Nova Scotia and the reception he received was quite something.
Very, very bad language.
Extremely appropriately however.
He is hated.
Two different law abiding folks stated to me today that watching him being assassinated would be fine by them.
I truly have never heard such utterances from these two individuals about anyone.
He is utterly loathed by a majority of the population.
His minority government is propped up by the Communists.
His true vote total in the last election was less than that of the THIRD place party.
Cheers!
good thing he has voting machines or he’d be out on his ass
Germany hasn’t supported the US on this from the start, but they’ve kept their mouth shut. The big change would be if they speak out against it.
They speak with their action.
This Scholz guy looks like a WEF clone. It seems they make these crooked politicians in a factory, probably in China.
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t President Trump mention something about this possibility to Angela Merkel?
Gave her a small white flag, lol.
My ground beef went from $1.99 to $2.99 a pound. That’s 50%. Who’s fooling who Joe?
$2.99 is cheap. I can get $ 3.99 occasionally for 3 or more lbs. That’s for chuck, not better stuff.
Inflation in the USA since Joe Stalin stole the peoples WH is well over 30%….. most business supplies/ materials I buy are over 100%+, other stuff like food is ~30-40% which happened immediately after foodstamp allotments were increased. Lightbulbs up 28%, soap is up ~32% base price per soap bar ( but it’s a new smaller size, so it’s actually up almost 60%.) Printer for the office is up 70%. Electrical supplies, certified meters etc… up 80%.
Those who actually take the time to read and really want to know what is coming, I can offer you this below.
https://eraoflight.com/2022/03/31/fiat-currencies-are-going-to-fail-spectacularly-lawrence-lepard/
Maybe this will inspire you to read the above.
Did I hear that Putin is going to make the Ruble gold backed?
while the ChiComs and Putin might LIKE to back a combined currency with gold they do not have the reserves put back to do so…they can make all the public proclamations they want but the struggle is in the actual doing
russia got enough Aurum….to get currency backed…
yes..very soon
Welcome to the New World Order!
Yippie, yea! We’re finally paying our fair share for those things we never really built.
FJB. FBO. FTNWO!
The “total fail” of this Biden administration in all aspects foreign and domestic has officially let Obama and Carter off the hook as “worst president ever”. Who’d of thought Carter would live to see that, least of all Jimmy C. himself ?
Angela Merkel did that stickers are needed.
Don’t worry folks Biden and his handlers are working hard to help the U.S. match that 30% and raise them another 10-15%. That’s why they are sending our SPR oil to Europe and doubling down on our own energy suicide.
Team JB/O should send the Vindman brothers to do their own dog…
So, probably the safest place for Zelenskyy would be Russia. 🙄 Funny.
Israel… after he lose war he will be there….
And Just today. The German government release aluminum borohydride into the air…now watch the fire.

Germany announced Wednesday that it plans to end oil imports from Russia by the end of the year and will then begin phasing out Russian gas imports, charting a path to energy independence from Moscow amid its ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
https://www.nationalreview.com/news/germany-to-cut-off-russian-oil-imports-by-year-end/
Once they set their mind to it, there’s nothing too stupid for German leadership.
LMAO. That’s great!
Ezekiel 38 vs 1
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2“Son of man, set your face against Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.a Prophesy against him 3and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.b 4I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws, and bring you out with all your army—your horses, your horsemen in full armor, and a great company armed with shields and bucklers, all brandishing their swords. 5Persia, Cush,c and Put will accompany them, all with shields and helmets, 6as well as Gomer with all its troops, and Beth-togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you.
“Gomer” in this verse is Germany.
That’s in reference to those nations attacking Israel. Germany involved.. ta privably because its become completely taken over by Muslims at that point
Germany has to do what is best for Germany. As our legitimate President Trump has said, the US has to put the US first. The only 2 administrations I recall putting us way down on the list were Obummer and OBiden’s. No more money or weapons for Ukraine, period.
Former Navy Chief Petty Officer and frequent talking head on MSNBC, Malcolm Nance,
is in Ukraine now and says that he is gung-ho ready to fight the Russians.
Yeah, go for it. Full blown idiot.
Kookoo.
Former Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Larry Nance has way more credibility.
He’s effectively a mercenary and a legitimate target for the Russians.
they just killed 6 foreign mercenaries….4 from UK and 2 from……..
If Stacy Abrams had a son hed look like….
what? I thought that was Stacy. sheesh
A burnt jelly donut?
They’ll put him on the front line. I’m afraid he is a dead man.
What are the odds the Rothschilds and Morgan Chase are the largest shareholders of that Russian gas and pipeline, and none of us can fathom the future end game?
How long before the German citizens and other European citizens start revolting, I wonder? Inflation is one thing but starvation is an entirely different animal and starvation is coming for the working class. That goes for America too. How much worse can it get before people start fighting back in a violent manner?
Wait for Beijing Biden’s 10 Million Illegals annually.
Then double it until the USA self-destructs.
Hmm. Highest rate of economic instability since Germany lay in ruins, under military occupation in the late 1940’s.
That was an opportunity for a new world order: Bretton Woods, the UN, the European Common Market(and prettified socialism), CIA on steroids and rapid federalization of all things political in the USA.
These SOB’s are trying to create the same uncertain situation via viruses and other crises, that existed just after WW2 to allow them to remake the international order in their twisted image but the readers of this site already know that.
Olaf is gonna have to build a lot more windmills to generate the electric power all those nuclear power plants did before Merkel shut them down!
According to London bookies Macron was around a 6 to 1 favorite. A Also worsening the issue is natural gas was over $8.00 the other day. 18 months ago 3.00. Pray and pray more.
Maybe Zelensky should start dropping hints as to exactly WHAT he has on the Biden Family Crime Syndicate. Hope he has a “Dead Man’s Switch” somewhere and that he actually deploys it soon. Julian Assange probably waited too long and we will probably never see any of the info that was supposedly forthcoming from John McAfee’s sudden “departure”…
Well isn’t this a fine mess that they have gotten us into. You would think someone could have seen this coming!!! /s
…Then again, maybe Zelenskyy has a deadmans switch in the form of back up copies of America’s carrying on’s in the Ukraine and should anything suspiciously befall him…Overnite express to Conservative news sites like Breitbart.
I am surprised they haven’t assassinated by now. It is the easiest way out of their own mess
Everyone that looked at this conflict objectively knew Russian energy was essential to Germany and that it was only the extent of the inflation numbers there that would determine how effective sanctions against Russia would be. With Germany effectively removed from the game it falls on France and less so Italy to shore up the Ponzi scheme that is the EU economy. Even more so with Great Britain intelligently leaving the EU. The state department now has a problem…with the media it beautified Zelkenskyy and anointed the Ukraune for its purely selfish reasons and now the have a dimwitted president and his keystone kops administration chained to them. Trump knew two things in this sphere…get the Germans off dependence on Russian energy and work to get Russia working with us against China. Knowing that FJB had been wrong about every foreign policy decision his entire time in DC we now see Europe’s strongest economy with historic inflation,addicted to Russia energy which hamstrings it from meeting allied objectives and France may well slam another door shut if La Penn wins. And Russia? Instead of moving towards the west it’s run to the arms of China while neutralizing Germany. F@ck Joe Biden and the rogue state department. Between Putin and Musk I hope their little world crashes around them.
In 2018, Donald Trump warned Germany about being 60% to 70% dependent upon Russian energy.
They laughed at him.
How come they stopped laughing 4 years later? Trump was right. Germany is screwed. Nato is screwed.
And I’m happy about it…. I agree with that Orthodox priest in Russia who said that current Western culture is cursed and malignant. The Russians Ive known through the years have been solid.
“Quick!! Send another 40 billion through Ukraine so Hunter can catch it on its way back through”
So obvious and disgusting
This does not bode well for all of those rich Asian immigrants in the swankier parts of my Commiefornia town. They only buy German luxury cars (which they can barely drive) and graduation date is coming up soon. What will they do when their children have to go off to college driving an American or Japanese car? Oh, the ignominy!
I guess the German method of doing inflation was not “corrected” like ours has been several times. I guess our true inflation is closer to theirs? I know the 5 dozen eggs we used to get for about $6 are now about $11.
Germany is a victim of their own hubris.
https://okaythennews.substack.com/p/trump-right-on-germanys-dependence?s=r
Trump warned them of dependency upon Russian energy, and Germany laughed at him.
Germany is no longer laughing.
So now the media can say ..SEE.. its not just the fake President of the United States. The rest of the Build Back Better Nations are having the same problem.
because of Ukraine
Build back better hit a BRIC
The German government went all in on green energy and got rid of their nuclear plants and coal plants. Energy costs are through the roof. The fix they are in is of their own doing.
Germany intends to double the inflation rate
Annalena Baerbock, the country’s foreign minister, said Germany is “completely phasing out” energy imports from Russia. “We will halve oil by the summer and will be at 0 by the end of the year, and then gas will follow,” she said, following a meeting with her Baltic counterparts.

sync: Fermenting cabbage, otherwise known as sauerkraut, generates gas, so, there’s that.
Glad someone is taking the full Monty plunge into the petroleum free experiment..
Should pull the legs out of the movement if the failure is spectacular enough.
Ah….but it won’t. They simply won’t be doing it correctly. Here….hold my beer…..
The FJB crew needs to quickly plan an exit strategy for the shitstorm they created! They need to create another shitstorm diversion. Wonder what’s next?
Maybe the plan is to not have an exit strategy.
