Angela Merkel caught on hot mic griping to Facebook CEO over anti-immigrant posts
CNBC ^ | 09/28/15 | Javier E. David

Posted on 09/28/2015 4:40:02 PM PDT by Enlightened1

German Chancellor Angela Merkel was overheard confronting Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg over incendiary posts on the social network, Bloomberg reported on Sunday, amid complaints from her government about anti-immigrant posts in the midst of Europe's refugee crisis.

On the sidelines of a United Nations luncheon on Saturday, Merkel was caught on a hot mic pressing Zuckerberg about social media posts about the wave of Syrian refugees entering Germany, the publication reported.

The Facebook CEO was overheard responding that "we need to do some work" on curtailing anti-immigrant posts about the refugee crisis. "Are you working on this?" Merkel asked in English, to which Zuckerberg replied in the affirmative before the transmission was disrupted.

In recent weeks, hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees have washed up on Europe's shores, seeking asylum from the raging civil war in their homeland. As Europe's largest economy, Germany has sheltered the majority of them, leading to widespread objections within the country.

Earlier this month, Facebook vowed to clean up what it deemed was racist content on the German version of its website. At the time, the social network said it would partner with a non profit group to oversee hate postings.

The news here isn’t that Merkel asked Zuckerberg to censor anti-immigration posts on Facebook. It’s that Zuckerberg agreed to do it.

EXACTLY!!

The 4Ds of liberal debate tactics are all designed to eliminate opposing arguments rather than engage them to prove the validity of their own
Deride: A liberal’s first defense is to express contempt for your opinion through mockery

Distract: When a liberal realizes they are losing the argument they always change the subject.

Deny: Once you have them cornered and there is no out for them so that their defeat is inescapable, their next defense is to deny that the facts are truthful or even matter.

Demonize: at the end of the argument when a liberal has been thoroughly defeated he will turn to demonizing his opponent.

Can't let small matters like peoples' true feelings and basic reality get in the way of the narrative.

I have heard the same story in regards to the American public that whatever is taking place now, never could have happen here. And guess what, ID DID. There is a slight chance that the next elections may be able to undo some of the damage which already has been done, but I wouldn’t hold my breath and count on it.

As anyone familiar with Alexander Tyler knows, right now we are just about at stage number seven...from apathy to dependency and only one step away from dependency back in to bondage. And rest assured the socialists as well as many so called republicans in our government work relentlessly to make it happen. Most of it done under the guise “We the government are here to help you” Whenever you hear those words run like hell.

“Das Leben der Anderen”, (”The Lives of Others”) by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, is an exceptionally brilliant film.

Absolute masterpiece. Stunning acting from Sebastian Koch and Martina Gedeck.

Martina Gedeck, also wonderful in “Der Baader Meinhof Komplex” (”The Baader Meinhof Complex”).

Do you like German and Austrian cinema?

I recommend “Paradies: Glaube” (”Paradise: Faith”) by Ulrich Seidl, a jaw-dropping performance by a wonderful Austrian actress named Maria Hofstätter....obviously it’s an Austrian film.

Born in 1954 in west Germany, the family migrated to East Germany. She was part of the youth movement....not a soldier in the East German Army. It was the path to a good education.

I’m real disappointed in her. Never would have thought she’d turn out this way. I wonder what the Germans think of her now?

“At the time, the social network said it would partner with a non profit group to oversee hate postings.”

Yeah the non-profit group, called Netz gegen Nazis (Network Against Nazis) is headed by an ex-Stasi agent Anetta Kahane....I’m NOT joking here, Merkel of course is ex-Stasi herself, recruited at University in the East.

Anyhow Anetta Kahane is not only an ugly b-tch, she’s also a total Leftist nutter. She was Stasi from 1974-1982 and her codename was “Victoria”.

So a quarter of a Century after German Reunification, ALL Germans are now being monitored by ex-Stasi agents, great huh?

Fines of up to 5000 Euros and possible prison for posting anti-migrant and anti-Muslim Horde invasion comments.

And the very name Netz gegen Nazis, Network Against Nazis falls in with Mad Merkel, who basically has accused EVERYONE of being a Nazi who speaks out against the invited Muslim horde....even children are being called “collaborators”

In Merkel’s twisted mind being a Commie and Stasi is just magnificent and perfectly okay....but being a Nazi - even if you’re NOT - well that’s the most awful thing in the universe.

Germany hasn’t had free speech for Merkel’s entire 10 years, they even have a list of words that might land you in court....especially words like:

Leitkultur....meaning Germany’s predominant culture, so don’t dare say the Muslim hordes have to adhere to German Leitkultur or that’ll get you in trouble.

Verdorbenes Kultur....meaning the decadent culture of the 1920s Weimar Republic, where anything went, bestiality and filthy pimps pimping girls as young as 8 for sex, not to mention S&M whores literally advertising their “business” on street corners....using Verdorbenes Kultur can get you into trouble.

Volksgemeinschaft, which means that a country puts its OWN citizens before others who aren’t citizens....this can get you into trouble as well.

The Leftists really loathe these words and phrases.

Germans are rapidly turning against her, trust me.

Merkel won’t be Chancellor by Spring, she’ll be dumped.

And the Leftists say that we’re ALL the same. Yes, obviously civilised people the world over are EXACTLY the same as those African savages in that picture.

WTF?!
