In that viral video, a man addressing the German parliament supposedly predicted something ominous will happen on September 24th.

But this seems to be a total misunderstanding.

I found a source that says the video is from late last February, and is actually a reference to the Russian invasion of Ukraine which had occurred a few days earlier, on February 24th.

In a slip of the tongue, the German speaker in the video said “September 24th.” But if you read the rest of what he said, it’s obvious he meant “February 24th.”

The video has since been misinterpreted and gone viral, but allegedly the following quote from a Forbes article translates what was actually said (in German) in the viral video:
___________________

[Begin quotation from Forbes article dated Feb. 27, 2022]

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Sunday (Feb 27) opened his extraordinary speech to the German Bundestag with this sentence:

“The 24th of February, 2022, marked a change in the history of our continent.”

... Following Scholz’s Sunday speech... Friedrich Merz, the German opposition leader... also spoke... Merz began with the same grave sense of marking the moment:

“This 24th September, 2022, is going to be a day which we will remember and we’re going to say about this day in the future that I remember where I was when I got the news of the war in Ukraine.”

Yes, you read that right. In his intensity, Merz misspoke – he actually said “September” instead of “February.”...

Well, that changes stuff. Now I have to come up with another “end of the world” scenario.
