Tuesday 13 July 2021, the Bavarian Prime Minister Dr. Markus Söder posts on the platform Facebook a sentence that is not only provocative, but also outrageous. In its blunt directness, the sentence reveals the distance from prudence, decency and democratic values.
In its diction, the sentence is strikingly close to an unspeakable sentence from yesterday. Citizens inside and outside the Free State cannot be indifferent to this. Just 365 days ago, a politician with this public diction would have been hounded out of office regardless of who he was.
The observer rubs his eyes in amazement and dismay at the cuddling old media, which used to be the fourth estate in the state. This does not bode well.
Don't take this as a whisper, but as a sober observation.
In the video you can see a commentary on Söder's sentence "Vaccination is the path to freedom" and also the development towards a republic of resentment.
Thank you for your Support of independent journalism in Germany.

REFERENDUM TO RECALL STATE PARLIAMENT
From October 14, 2021 to October 27, 2021, there will be a referendum in Bavaria with the aim of recalling the current Bavarian state parliament. Registration is possible in all municipalities in Bavaria. I think it would be good if as many people as possible used this opportunity to set an example and put an end to these presumptions - especially by Markus Söder.
Many thanks to you, Mr. Langemann and your team, for your very objective and clear journalistic work!
Great work, thank you!
Decisionism is a political and legal theory that places the decision and the decision-maker at the center of its considerations. It considers the content and justification of a decision to be less important than the decision itself. According to this theory, there can be no generally binding justifications for values or moral positions. Therefore, the decision of people for this or that action is ultimately arbitrary and cannot be justified by means of logical analysis or on the basis of ethical criteria.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dezisionismus
Decision becomes the hallmark of the system of injustice.
...today (31.7.2021) - on dlf - Jakob Maske, pediatrician and federal press spokesman of the DGKJ, publicly called it an impertinence of politics to put pressure on the Stiko in the decision-making process on vaccination recommendations for children and to politically anticipate the independent expert committees in this regard. At last! - in my opinion.
The discussion on "incidence", (the term is not used correctly and as defined anyway: New INCIDENTS, -not new infections- by definition) and other parameters to be taken into account are finally gaining a foothold...Not that the KBV had not already demanded this with the date of 28.10.2020...suddenly Spahn gives in here - does something else all the time and now all of a sudden the experts seem to have caught on after all...
Dlf-News today:... "Draft resolution for tomorrow's conference of health ministers. According to the draft, children and adolescents are to be vaccinated by family doctors and company doctors as well as in centers. In addition, the federal states want to offer all young adults at universities, vocational schools and schools."
...just bypassing the pediatricians...I can't think of anything else.
§ Section 240 (1) StGB reads:
Anyone who unlawfully coerces a person to act, tolerate or refrain from acting by force or by threatening them with a serious evil is liable to a custodial sentence not exceeding three years or a monetary penalty.
But the public prosecutors are bound by the instructions of the ministers of justice. Of course they don't investigate politicians!
An independent judiciary distinguishes a democracy or a constitutional state from an autocracy or dictatorship.
What is happening in the wake of coronavirus shows that it is not China that is coming closer to our (human) legal standards, but we Europeans who are adapting to Chinese customs. Things could not be going better for the Chinese leadership. Today, the French parliament has bid farewell to universal human rights and, by parliamentary resolution, declared all French citizens to be wards of the pharmaceutical lobby, who are forced by law into the status of chronically ill people who regularly require medical treatment by a doctor. This is the only way French citizens can still participate in social life. A state could hardly be more ruthless and dishonest in its treatment of its young people. Ultimately, all young people are being forced to be vaccinated against all reason and disregarding their individual risk situation in order to protect the aging president's wife. Incidentally, nothing else is going on in Baden-Württemberg with regard to the Kretschmann family. If that is not abuse of office, then what is?
If Europe accepts or even promotes such decisions, it subsequently legitimizes Brexit.
Dr. Assmann, you meant Madame President. This veritable lady whispers to her pupil what is politically correct in the state of the Grande Nation.
"Vaccination is the path to freedom" is embarrassingly reminiscent of "Work makes you free!"
If Mr. Langemann wants to have more success with his video contributions, he needs to shorten his videos to a maximum of 2 minutes, make a cut every 3 seconds, and instead of talking a lot, he should dance, grin, make lots of jokes and preferably not talk about politics, but about the latest Playstation games.
No, seriously, I like this sober style. Watch a video, even if it's longer than 2 minutes. Interesting analysis and a likeable speaker.
I loved the ending in the last third of this video with the "final bang" 🙂 🙂
There should be a real Club der Klaren Worte, a real political coffee where people can meet and discuss. (And drink coffee and listen to relaxed live jazz music).

We are being urged to "vaccinate" by all means (even if nobody admits this and everyone emphasizes "there is no obligation to vaccinate"), but there is less and less justification for the "little prick". A few days ago I read a report that there have been around 7,700 new infections in Israel (where, as far as I know, *only* BioNTech vaccine against Corona is being vaccinated) since May. Of these 7,700, about 3,000 (40%) had occurred in "fully vaccinated" people. There were only 72 "recovered" (those who acquired immunity to SARS-CoV-2 through a previous infection) among the new infections (less than 1%). If one now takes into account that approx. 60% of the Israeli population are fully vaccinated and approx. 9.1% have recovered, one can calculate an estimate of the effectiveness of the immunization by the vaccine and by the infection experienced. The result is that in Israel the effectiveness of the vaccination against the virus variants currently prevalent there is only approx. 33.3%, while immunization by the infection experienced is effective to approx. 89.8%. There doesn't seem to be much left of the "95% efficacy" claimed in the approval studies ... But perhaps the vaccine still helps against "severe courses" as claimed by the manufacturers. There was also a rather disappointing report on this from Israel: approx. 60% of the corona patients currently being treated in hospitals with severe courses have already been vaccinated twice (the same percentage as the proportion of fully vaccinated people in the population). This actually only leads to the conclusion that the vaccination does *not* protect against severe cases *at all* with the virus variants currently prevalent in Israel. Under these conditions, shouldn't we start to ask ourselves why we are still vaccinating at all (with an insufficiently tested vaccine that has a truly catastrophic side-effect profile compared to most "conventional vaccinations", as has now become apparent)?
I think it is high time to move away from the government narrative that "only vaccination can save us", as the above figures from Israel suggest the exact opposite. Rather, we should focus on the treatment of Covid-19 and finally approve the apparently most effective drug ivermectin (which has been proven for decades in the treatment of parasites and has very few side effects) for the treatment of Covid-19 outside of clinical trials, if necessary, even *against* the recommendations of the EMA and the WHO. Since the use of ivermectin for the treatment of Covid-19 in Indonesia was expressly banned by the local # government, the number of "corona deaths" there has increased 5-fold (!!!). Isn't that a more than clear sign of its effectiveness? The RKI should also adapt the treatment recommendations for Covid-19 to the so-called "Moerser Weg", because in the Bethanienkrankenhaus in Moers (where this treatment was developed) and in the clinics that have adopted this treatment method, the number of Covid-19 patients who died in hospital is drastically lower than in the clinics that follow the RKI's treatment recommendation. This has been the case since last year, but the RKI has apparently not yet seen any reason to adjust the treatment recommendations ...
We focus far too much on the (justifiably controversial) vaccination and far too little on the effective treatment of the disease.
Hello Mr. Ilse,
a nice and important comment - vaccination is not "without alternative", on the contrary, it is a malpractice - one should completely get away from the idea of "vaccinating" against coronaviruses and develop a treatment only for people who really have a problem with the infection, that is under 1%, because herd immunity already existed in some form before the so-called pandemic.
Yes, and there is nothing like natural immunity, which is free, a gift from nature, so to speak. Artificial treatment, however, also creates new artificial diseases, as can now be seen in "vaccinated" people. Natural immunity, which is also automatically effective against all kinds of variants, is completely uninteresting because it does not generate any profit.
As far as I know, the gene segments of the mRNA active substances are still based on the Wuhan sequence, i.e. every new "variant", provided it affects the spike protein, requires a new vaccination, a "booster" - that is the goal and that will be the mantra of the coming months.
In addition to the ivermectin you mentioned, the therapy recommended for severely ill patients includes the frowned upon hydroxychloroquine, Budenoside as cortisone (in the "cytokine storm"), zinc and vitamins D and C, which are important for immune defense. In addition, mechanical ventilation of the lungs, which are already damaged and very fragile due to the inflammation, should be avoided whenever possible.
This would actually be enough to get this "terrible pandemic" under control, but nobody wants that : vaccination is "without alternative" because all alternatives are ignored ! - I'm afraid that's the crux of the matter, and I believe that we need to familiarize ourselves with the idea that the world's population is the victim of a totalitarian agenda, even if this naturally leads to severe "cognitive dissonance", because what must not be, cannot be.
Therefore, as right and true and reasonable as your argument is, Mr. Ilse, I'm afraid you won't be able to solve the problem with rational reasons - I speak from my own experience. You know, in normal times every vaccination study with so many deaths would have to be stopped immediately, what are the politicians doing, they now want to attack the children as well.
Sapere aude, Mr. Ilse - trust your mind, your logic and your feelings, i.e. if something seems "Spanish" to you, ask questions and, the most difficult thing Kant wanted to tell us, have the courage to consider the impossible - this "pandemic" stinks to high heaven! And I can only recommend to everyone, no matter what threats, intimidation etc. are conveyed via the media, say no - freedom and physical integrity are inalienable and do not need to be regained through submission, allegiance and obedience - it is not Mrs. Merkel who is giving us back our freedom - freedom is an inherent human characteristic!
With this in mind, all the best
...I despair of the German mentality...dlf this morning: now the question is not "where is to blame?" and how do I manage the reconstruction, ensure clearing equipment, scarce building materials and manpower, but "who is to blame?" - and why would warnings not be taken seriously?
A lot of brain power is wasted on the health risks of eating in aluminum trays, coronaviruses lead to a paralysis of fear. And real dangers are no longer recognized - because they have been dulled by pseudo-hazard reports and bunjijumping...yes - and who is to blame, dear Michel?
Thank you for the very encouraging comments, which make you realize that you are not alone with your opinion, even if you have already been massively confronted with social defamation by people close to you.
That gives me hope. Thank you!!!
Hello Mr. Langemann,
I would love to write an intelligent comment on your video, if only to confirm and strengthen you in your work - unfortunately I don't have the words. You just feel like "smacking" certain people from the public sphere and sending them into quarantine for life so that their narratives don't "infect" even more people - the only pandemic that has been around since last year, by the way, and not just since then: stupidity. It should be clear to anyone in their right mind by now that this is not a real threat, let alone to the health of the population, because our immune system knows all about coronaviruses! Clever people have already drawn parallels with the Biderman Report - a list of psycho-manipulative measures to make people compliant, in the case of US soldiers, to literally "repole" them, probably a bit related to Stockholm syndrome. - The aim is the mass vaccination of healthy people - medically and scientifically without basis, ethically and legally a punitive act - by creating fear, intimidation, bullying ( according to "carrot and stick" ) and the other measures that are now also known and suffered by all. The 2nd goal of the so-called "vaccination" is the recording of data, the recording of the world's population, digitized control and surveillance.
What Macron allowed himself to do in France in his outrageous "speech" has already been implemented in Italy - compulsory vaccination for certain occupational groups, and the exclusion of the non-"vaccinated" from society, as announced (indirectly) by Macron, will soon take place in Germany too, if no one resists, because it is a concerted action, at least throughout Europe.
The Orwellian misuse of language is not new, Mr. Langemann, forgive me, but sometimes one gets the impression that you are "delayed" - I feel the same way, by the way. I refer you to the so-called "artistic action" at the end of last year at the Düsseldorf TV tower ( vaccination = freedom ) and also dear Mr. Söder had already publicly stated at that time that vaccination creates freedom - the perversion of values, which is currently being realized - so nothing new, sick society, gullible citizens, corrupt politics and heavily wealthy lobbyists and NGOs. - In addition: the vaccination is not a vaccination, the pandemic is a big fake, the measures are illegal, the "vaccination studies" are glossed over and scientifically worthless, the combination of active ingredients administered will make people ill, if not immediately, then in the long term, the nanoparticles do not remain in the arm, but accumulate throughout the body, spike proteins are found in the blood, they attach themselves to ACE2 receptors and the immune system, eager to destroy them, attacks the body ( e.g. the heart, s. Myocarditis in young people ) and / or leads to local inflammatory reactions with thrombosis, the adjuvants such as polysorbate 80 ( AstraZeneca ), nanoparticles and liposomes with PEG ( PfizerBionTech ) are designed to cross the blood-brain barrier, so that we just don't stay sane - bravo - vive la médecine - this is no longer medicine, but a global human experiment that is indeed worthy of a Nuremberg trial - as you can see, I'm still "warming up" - but where are the allies who will free us ? - I think aliens would have to come to earth to get us out of this mess!
Hello Mr. Oberste-Vorth,
I read the following report from New Zealand on another free news site today:
Next year we will be faced with the task of tracking people whose behavior suggests they may refuse to be vaccinated. From next year, vaccinations will be available to every citizen in New Zealand. We will be looking for those who have missed or canceled their vaccination appointment. Everyone will have the opportunity to be vaccinated at the end of the year and we will be looking for those who don't want one!
Minister Chris Hipkins.
I see the story of the "Erlkönig" as a synonym for all of this. How he flattered the boy, what he promised him. The flowers on the beach, the golden robe. How much he loves him, how his daughters cradle him and sing to him. But the boy becomes more and more frightened, his father tries to calm him down and explains that he sees "ghosts". And when the Erlkönig realizes that he is getting nowhere with the flattery, he consequently announces violence. When he arrives home, the boy is dead...
In the "Revolt of the Masses", Ortega y Gasset dealt with the phenomenon of the dictatorship of the proletariat - not the proletariat, mind you. The big mouth, the proudly celebrated incompetence, the denial of reality, the loss of all decency - this is now the dominant culture within large sections of the political class. This is bitter for all citizens - at the moment. But for me, at least when it takes on such proportions, it is also a sign of the advanced degeneration of the political class. In the new, very dynamic opposition movement, which is largely made up of people who have already achieved something in their lives and have both feet on the ground, it has found an elusive opponent. They are realists with ideals who no longer want to let the political class do its job and will no longer allow traditional practices to continue.

Perhaps there are still people in politics who (can) read. Hope dies last...
With glasses it might not have happened like this...
And also: Sarah Wagenknecht: "The self-righteous"...
Let me put it this way:
This is one of a few nicely made critical platforms that serves the critical but all too complacent, pleasurably cowardly, from a safe sofa perspective, caring, well-informed and sometimes critically fabulous educated citizen.
All this at all levels via doctors, virologists, hospitals, parents (- money),
Home office (... also quite nice), media, short-time work, compensation payments for companies
The only reason why the most obvious thing is not dared to do is out of dependency and to take advantage:
Show yourself and take to the streets !!!
This kind of seriously prepared free shirt-collar journalism
benefits in this sense just as much from the
cowardice of the German educated bourgeoisie and serves the comfortable, complaining attitude without
any impulse to react
except for ventilated, hot air.
Germany was, is and will remain such a country
by cowardly, brainless, consuming beneficiaries.
The poets, thinkers and revolutionaries are a legend, a hollow myth, until everyone, regardless of their political views, who knows better finally shows themselves on the street.
Otherwise, we don't deserve what is going on here any other way.
Everything is open and transparent for those who want to know.
Stop feeling sorry for yourselves, straighten yourselves out and take on the resistance of whatever kind.
Dear Mr. Bittner
Basically, I agree with you. There are still not enough people on the streets!
However, this is also resistance for the time being and is not yet a solution for the future. Hence my suggestion:
Taking to the streets and living what we want. For example, there is a platform that connects unvaccinated employers and jobseekers so that it is possible to be consistent and resign from work if vaccination is demanded. If the critical people in entire professional groups, such as doctors and nursing staff, even in retirement homes, or teachers, whether at schools, vocational colleges or universities, were to say just once: "That's enough!" then the pandemic would be over. A society does not function with suddenly only 40/50/60 or 70% of doctors, nurses, teachers... Refusing to work by resigning is possible if you have a plan B on how to get a new job tomorrow. Because getting fed up costs nine times as much money.
The octopus of manipulation, lies, taking advantage, corruption and lack of freedom has moved into all areas of society. If we create new structures by building what we want as an alternative to the "system" and living new values, only then will we have a chance of getting rid of the current system. We must also build the "lifeboats" for our society before we say to the broad mass of the population: Soring off board! Fear cannot be demonstrated away! We need new ways! We also need to build those who have already recognized that this ship will inevitably sink.
So let's demonstrate and build new structures alongside the old ones. If they are better, the people will come of their own accord! The system has less and less to offer. That's why it has to take such brutal action against us. It's starting to become obvious... They're scared too, the powerful. They need us! They can't do without us! Ha!
Self-empowerment is the way out of the crisis, in my view. Building alternatives to the system and people will come by themselves. This will be hard work: a new education system, a new monetary system, environmental protection instead of climate protection, new approaches to agriculture, nutrition, mobility, free media, a new healthcare system, learning what keeps us healthy, what makes us healthy... There is already a lot of knowledge and many approaches, but we have to make them sustainable so that people are willing to let go of their wooden plank and swim themselves to reach the lifeboat, metaphorically speaking.
Constructive resistance and self-empowerment. For me, these are ways out of the crisis. Let's tackle it!!!
thank you from Finland !!! unfortunately i've been waiting here (in FI) for 40 years for journalists of your caliber, but only now do i realize where even a country of "happy-go-lucky" people can drift off to without people like you. thank god it's not yet as bad as in my native bavaria and thanks to my age i probably won't have to experience it anymore. it can't be that ALL 68ers are already dead in D !!! in good bavarian terms, hops and malt are lost anyway. at least SAVE the CHILDREN !!!
The bad thing is that the '68ers were the pioneers of this madness!
Dear Mr. Langemann,
Thank you for your work. I would be interested to take a look at the editorial offices of the so-called quality media. Many politicians make statements like Söder's without comment.
Hello Sebastian,
Söder sits on the ZDF supervisory board. You will also find this on the ZDF website, albeit somewhat hidden.
Hello Sven, Dr. Markus Söder is a member of the Board of Directors of ZDF. A board of directors usually determines or monitors the organization of a corporation, including the financial system and financial control. In most cases, the Board of Directors also determines the management. This is for the precision of your comment. Thank you for being here. Yours sincerely, M.L.
Yes, everything comes to an end at some point. Hopefully soon. Thank you for the clear presentation of the derailed policy.
As long as people are in a vacation mood - as is currently the case - perception is close to zero. Now a little distraction from the damage caused by capricious weather. Those who are not affected are happy and all too quickly forget the bitter plight of those affected, wherever they are at the spa resort, and go back to their vacation routine. The next lockdowns are already waiting, whether corona or CO2 motivated, the corrupt authorities don't care. The people silently go along with everything and let them get away with it.
...and vote for their butchers again in September. Disgusting! I am ashamed!
It's not for nothing that he has been nicknamed "Södolf" since he started showing such authoritarian tendencies.
It is frightening how many of our representatives trample on the FDGO, and even more silently or even actively support it.
I don't recognize our country.
This has been simmering in the background for a long time..... It seems that many have been waiting, hoof to hoof, to finally let the S## off the leash again!
Dear Mr. Langemann,
As always, thank you for being there and doing such an excellent job. The content of your opinion piece needs no comment. But now for a bit of currant picking. As far as I know, the "big crunch" is just a way of solving the field equations of general relativity. In reality, our universe will expand forever, and even accelerate thanks to the positive cosmic constant ("dark energy"). I would therefore like to see the findings of the cosmologist or theoretical physicist they have in mind. So, unfortunately, we won't be able to push our political actors into the all-consuming hellfire of a "Big Crunch", the final meltdown, but will have to watch them slowly freeze to death...
Nevertheless, as good cosmic greetings as possible,
Tobias Tenhaef.
"...about risks and side effects, you eat up the package insert and kill your doctor or pharmacist..."
Politically, the risks and side effects of vaccination are simply being concealed in order to feed the crisis managers' narrative of success - and not the failure of the state.
For Mr. Söder, read the book "Machtverfall" by Robin Alexander. The fact that Mr. Spahn is toiling behind Mr. Laschet also only has his own power interests in mind.
The Papagai, (after the bombing raid on Hamburg, where everything was in ruins), who whispered: "Only minor material damage, only minor material damage..." when the aunt came out of the air raid shelter... Without (gallows) humor, one will hardly be able to cope with the shattering tragedy in NRW and RP.
The treason lies with Steinmeier in the field, not with Laschet.
With Mr. Söder, even the foundation of the analysis does not match reality. Fundamentally crooked remains crooked in the aftermath...
However, the elections will probably be decided by a majority of black-green...which means that nothing will change in the course...whether you like it or not...
Thank you, Mr. Langemann - we need more of your kind of brilliant journalism...
Thank you for your comments, Mr. Langemann.
Today, naturally healthy people are at risk. Today you have to be an artificially healthy person. Of course, you can still be a dangerous person, but you have made an effort to make yourself artificially healthy or prepare yourself for it.
Where do we go when we think like this????
Söder said in an interview with Der Spiegel:
We need to make a science-based policy! So far so good!
The question remains: Is the policy to date not based on science? Then the question remains, on what basis have decisions been made so far?
It would be very good if the policy were to be implemented so that politics becomes science-based. It is urgently needed!
Then there remains the desire to become aware of what science is. And which science is meant here?
Science has two sides: The natural sciences and the humanities. Are politicians aware of the latter?
The worst thing is that statements like Mr. S's are accepted by a large proportion of my family and friends. Along the lines of: this is about public health, it doesn't affect you, I don't care about my rights because I don't want to get C., etc.
I simply don't have the words.
Perhaps the majority of your family and acquaintances are not necessarily your friends in spirit.......... that is of course bitter.....
Interesting ! Now we are in Australia, Melbourne and it is exactly the same. We, as people who have kept ourselves healthy and successfully treated ourselves with natural remedies for decades, are seen as immoral and antisocial if we don't get vaccinated...we too will probably soon have to stay at home if we don't get vaccinated. Fundamental rights, freedom and democracy seem to be in decline
Mr. Söder is a stupid, insolent, self-important idiot. But there seem to be enough of them in Bavaria. Dr.L. Markus
Thank you for your work!
Unfortunately, you're not allowed to say anything anymore, not to friends or relatives. Unfortunately, because ARD and ZDF always report the truth, everyone is already stupid.
Thank you very much
"The freedom of the person is inviolable."
In my opinion, vaccination, yes or no, is therefore NOT the decision of politicians, the pharmaceutical industry and their investors. No, it is the decision of the individual, because the individual ultimately also bears the possible long-term risk of the vaccination.
The vote will be held on September 26. The election of the new German Bundestag.
Thank you, Mr. Langemann, for your outstanding critical and ideology-free journalism.
Old media, please free yourselves at last and resume your mission of being the fourth estate in a democracy!
Dear Hartmut,
Please do not believe that the BTW will really "settle the score". The current protagonists will continue because the majority obviously wants it that way...
If, according to Minister President Söder, vaccination is THE way to freedom, then a whole series of questions arise:
(1)
If Söder were right, this would mean that people who are unwilling or unable to be vaccinated against coronavirus would be permanently unfree. How does that fit in with our constitution?
(2)
As the vaccinations have to be repeated regularly, the entire population would be permanently dependent on the pharmaceutical industry, comparable to chronically ill people. What is the motivation behind this idea?
(3)
My wife and I live a healthy life, don't smoke, only drink alcohol very sporadically and do sport. My wife is even a fitness trainer. As we have already reported, we lived with a family member who had coronavirus for two weeks, not only without developing any symptoms, but we were also not infected, again as the authorities know. We are certainly not alone. How do politicians intend to deal with people like us? Permanently deprive us of our freedom because we live healthy lives and there is therefore no reason to take the undisputed risks of vaccination, e.g. the development of myocarditis, which have now been confirmed by the WHO?
(4)
Politicians usually play down risks. The best example is the risks of vaccination (see https://www.zdf.de/gesellschaft/markus-lanz/markus-lanz-vom-15-juli-2021-100.html), but also that of wind energy. On April 28, 2017, I pointed out the following connection in a letter to the editor:
"The dynamic pressure of mountains is likely to increase significantly....... Ultimately, the mass installation of wind turbines represents a large-scale experiment with the atmosphere, the consequences of which can only be speculated about. This large-scale experiment is being overshadowed by climate change. ..... I pointed out these connections in an official statement back in 2015. This statement was the only one not admitted in the legislative process."
We have known the result for a few days now. The rain-heavy thunderstorm clouds were accumulating on the mountains of Rhineland-Palatinate coming from the north, e.g. the Hunsrück, which is virtually blocked by 200 m high wind turbines. While mountains mainly deflect the flow, wind turbines are designed to slow down the wind. According to the law of continuity of fluid mechanics, rain clouds have no choice but to rise into cooler layers of air to avoid the artificial obstacles and will therefore rain more heavily. Can politicians explain why they artificially exaggerate some dangers, e.g. corona or CO2, while suppressing or downplaying other dangers such as the one explained? What is the motivation behind this conspicuous behavior?
(5)
If politicians want to combat these dangers, the following question arises: in an increasingly complex world, do they still have enough expertise to correctly interpret and analyze the dangers and draw the right conclusions?
(6)
When I started my PC this morning, a photo of a magnificent mountain landscape appeared along with the prompt: "Discover the world on your screen." What is the relationship between actions like this from Microsoft and the exaggerated perception of corona? Should the real world be forcefully shifted to the digital world in order to bring about a change in behavior and thus save the climate? Other dangers, such as sepsis, claim as many and often far younger victims than corona, often only because the population lacks knowledge about the first symptoms without politicians feeling even the slightest compulsion to act.
It would be really nice if politicians like Söder, Merkel & Co, but also the press and media, would face up to these questions instead of constantly reinforcing each other's delusions. Thank you!
Thank you very much for this contribution.
Many thanks to Dr. Roland Aßmann,
You seem to have already dealt extensively with this problem. What is your level of knowledge -> is there already something like an expert opinion?
However, there is not only fluid mechanics but also thermodynamics with the law of conservation of energy. And if you take a look at the electrical power fed in from wind energy and double it - because of the average efficiency of 50% - then you get an idea of how much kinetic energy is extracted from the wind currents. This is then no longer available to the weather system. A system where the saying is still used today that "even the flap of a butterfly's wings can have an influence on the further course of the weather".
Dear Mr. Matschke,
Your question is the subject of heated scientific debate. On the one hand, there are the scientists around Prof. Jacobson, Standford, who claim to have proven in a comprehensive study that we would only affect the global wind system by 0.007% at an altitude of up to 1000 m if we were to cover humanity's energy needs entirely from wind energy (see https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/2/4/816). There is every reason to doubt that this result is correct. If you compare the energy consumption of mankind with the average energy of the wind (according to meteorological literature approx. 1% of solar radiation at the upper edge of the atmosphere), you get about 1%. Its 50% efficiency was determined in the wind tunnel to be about one third (=33%). This would theoretically result in a loss of 3%. Germany consumes around 2% of global energy. We generate around 1/20 = 120 TWh of this via wind energy. Consequently, we generate around 1 per thousand of global energy consumption via wind energy. However, we only have about 0.7 per thousand of the earth's surface (357,000 km² out of 510 million km²). Consequently, Germany must have lost around 5% of its natural wind energy. For comparison: the IWR wind energy yield index fell by an average of 6.9% on the coast and 4.7% inland in the period from 2008 to 2016 inclusive (9 years). The calculation of the energy shares and the observation therefore correlate quite well.
It is therefore not surprising that other researchers, e.g. from Harvard or Max Planck, come to a completely different conclusion from the Stanford scientists. An article in the Harvard Gazette, published on October 4, 2018, therefore contains the decisive statement:
"For wind, we found that the average power density - meaning the rate of energy generation divided by the encompassing area of the wind plant - was up to 100 times lower than estimates by some leading energy experts," said Miller, who is the first author of both papers. "Most of these estimates failed to consider the turbine-atmosphere interaction. For an isolated wind turbine, interactions are not important at all, but once the wind farms are more than five to 10 kilometers deep, these interactions have a major impact on the power density."
Looking at the Hunsrück region with its 4400 km² area, the issue described above is likely to be drastically exacerbated once again, as if under a magnifying glass, given the reckless expansion of wind energy. Around 3.7 GW of wind energy were installed in Rhineland-Palatinate in 2020 (see https://www.fachagentur-windenergie.de/veroeffentlichungen/laenderinformationen/laenderinformationen-zur-windenergie/rheinland-pfalz/). A considerable proportion of this is certainly in the Hunsrück, as the red-green-yellow coalition only recently decided to expand the Palatinate Forest. If we apply an assumed 2 GW at 33% efficiency equal to 6 GW to an area of 4.4 billion km², we arrive at an energy loss of around 1.3 W/m² at the peak or 0.3 W/m² on average. That would be just under 10% of the natural wind potential. To speak of a negligible order of magnitude here is an expression of the naivety of an unworldly, esoterically inclined green electorate, which confidently makes the famous comparison with the butterfly in the Brazilian rainforest, which changes our weather, and in the same breath claims that wind energy cannot have any influence on our weather or climate.
Anyone who is aware of the geographical proximity of the incredibly intensive development of the Hunsrück with wind turbines (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGP65vQxIfc) and the proximity of the Ahr valley north of the Hunsrück (see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunsr%C3%BCck#/media/Datei:Hunsr%C3%BCck_-_Deutsche_Mittelgebirge,_Serie_A-de.png) will understand what I am talking about. It is presumptuous to believe that such a constellation had no influence on the prevailing direction of the storms at the time of the accident. Nevertheless, it can be assumed that this probable influence will once again be politically suppressed instead of being dealt with openly and impartially in a scientific investigation. This could quickly spell the end of wind energy in our country.

Sorry, of course 4.4 billion m² (= 4400 km²)!
Addendum:
This French map, albeit no longer dewy, shows the concentration of wind industry areas in Rhineland-Palatinate to the south and south-east of the Ahr valley: https://www.sig-gr.eu/de/cartes-thematiques/energie/energies_renouvelables/parcs-eoliens-gr.html
The following statement is also made here: "The majority of these turbines are located in the Eifel, Hunsrück and Rheinhessen. This is due to the fact that these regions have a high wind potential, which is confirmed by the data from the Rhineland-Palatinate Wind Atlas." The majority of wind turbines in Rhineland-Palatinate are therefore located in the disaster region.
The frightening thing for me is not Söder's sentence, because this sentence fits in seamlessly with many other Söder statements. The frightening thing is how unchallenged the sentence remains. Apart from Mr Langemann, there were very few needles in the mainstream haystack that criticized Söder. And that, in turn, will also be felt by Söder and allow him to live out his hubris further and more strongly.
I find the media reactions to the press conference by Spahn, Merkel and Wieler alarming. Almost everywhere it was headlined that Spahn and Merkel continue to rule out compulsory vaccination. Are all people deaf? The opposite has happened. I had this hermeneutic understanding at the age of 14. The "actually", "until further notice", "initially" came out of almost every sentence. Spahn's statement that unvaccinated people would soon no longer be invited to parties? The sentence was largely ignored. No back doors were left open, they were barn doors.
Pictures of a laughing, joking Laschet are now circulating not only on the internet, but also in the mainstream. The joking Laschet in the background while Steinmeier gives an anemic speech of consternation on the ruins of the suffering. People are outraged by Laschet's behavior. Me too, of course. Some are secretly pleased because Laschet's hypocrisy is now becoming obvious. I'm not happy because I know that two other people are most happy about it. And they are Baerbock and, above all, Söder. It wouldn't have happened to Söder. Because he is more empathetic? Quite the opposite. Söder only knows when the cameras are on and when they're not. Söder knows when it's showtime. The right mask for every occasion. Mostly Bavarian blue and white, then mourning black, then rainbow colors.
I would like to criticize your comment at least in certain points, Mr Langemann. But "unfortunately" you have spoken from my soul with every letter. Thank you for that.
Hello Mr. Lagemann, thank you for your work.
True words! Thank you for that.
Final bang, boom, everything gone - Mother Earth shakes
Thank you...the critics are growing. We must persevere and promote a united society.
Holding out is not enough! We must ALL, and by that I mean every single citizen, stand up and appear in Berlin on 01.08.!!!!!
We should also vote for "dieBasis" in the elections. Find out more about this new party! I think it's worth it.
P.S.: Thank you M.L. Respect!!!
Well, I'm glad that Mr. Söder is at least offering us the prospect of freedom. How generous!
Thank you
Langemann, a great man!
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
