How Much Does A Dishwasher Make At Red Lobster

Panikmache, Peinlichkeit oder politisches Kalkül?

who this morning took a look at the cover of Berliner Morgenpost was confronted with the following headline:

terror threat: Islamists raid on Berlin in

runs in similar reports from other German newspapers. In the course of the article was heard, then, that had been made on the basis of evidence of foreign intelligence services (including Russia) in a total of 27 objects house searches. Exlizit is mentioned that no explosives were found and there would be no urgent need for suspicion, so that no warrants had been sought, but for the following items were seized:

  1. outdoor clothing
  2. to support
  3. backpack
  4. Army Trousers
  5. Softwair weapons
  6. knife
  7. vest
  8. sniper literature
  9. book with 39 ways to Jihad
  10. disk

announced also the Senator for the Interior, that it no concrete plans to attack these people are. At the same time, however, heavily armed security personnel patrolled on relevant objects, such as the new central train station.

Apart from the question of what should align security officers with automatic weapons against a suicide bomber at all (especially after a successful Stop automatic weapons are of course extremely helpful), is one for the cause of the suspicion that something important here is either concealed or there is a harassment of the authorities, because if in addition to other previously legally purchasable objects even outdoor clothing and backpacks for Terror threat will be confiscated, it is obvious that something is in the so-called rule of law out of hand. All this action is not only embarrassing, but corresponds closely to the idea of \u200b\u200b Wolfgang Schäuble ( CDU) of preventive state: You look just to even know if you find something. Afterwards, the victim may indeed prove his innocence. Or - Attention conspiracy theory! - You just wanted to direct the ongoing coalition negotiations zwsichen CDU and FDP in the right direction?

Such immature actions of the authorities is certainly not in themselves such that strengthen confidence in them.
