Around 11,000 people in Dresden formed a human chain on Saturday to stop the neandrathal German neo-Nazis from staging a march - ostensibly to remember victims of the Allied air raid that raised the city 65 years ago.
The loser right-wing neo-Nazis, had gathered at Dresden’s Neustadt railway station thinking they could with impunity stage a rally. Other right-wing ding-bats from Scandinavia and [...] Continue Reading…

If one goes by the outstanding reviews from London’s newspaper critics, – notorious for their finicky and miserly reviews -then Barenboim and the Staatskapelle orchestra may well consider this London outing an impressive success.
In his last appearance in London, two years ago Barenboim played all of the Beethoven’s piano sonatas – back to back in eight concerts – considered by many [...] Continue Reading…

There was great fanfare, when the opening ceremonies began Friday night in Vancouver with a spectacle worthy of former Olympic games.
A glittering opening ceremony at ‘BC Place’ Stadium featured native North American first nations music and dance, followed by a procession of the athletes.
The fervor, glitter and exuberance which surround all opening ceremonies were thought to be in jeopardy and to become marred by [...] Continue Reading…

Erika Steinbach, the right-wing leader of ‘the expelled’ -or Germans driven from Eastern Europe after 1945 – has agreed with the Merkel government not to seek nomination to the board organising the planned ‘Expulsion Museum’ in Berlin.

A number of loan- guarantees set up by Germany seems, for the moment at least, to provide a solution to the Greek state budget deficit crisis.
Germany and France are both taking the lead in helping Greece as long as it sticks to a program to reduce the EU’s biggest single-member’s budget deficit ever.
EU officials have insisted that no ‘bailout’ was being discussed [...] Continue Reading…
