Carnaval (Mardi Gras) Parade in Germany

Karnival or Fasching (Mardi Gras in the cold) Parade in Germany

A picture is worth a thousand words…  Well here are seven.

These floats from last year were part of the annual Carnival Parade in Germany, watched by an estimated 3 million people in 3 German cities including Dusseldorf.

With our controlled press, it is interesting to see that German citizens seem to know more about the U.S. political system and environment than the majority of citizens on the streets of America …  No topics are off limit. 

So in reality, socialistic Europe appears to me less politically correct and more open to speaking out than the supposed land of the free… so when did that happen?  (They are also a bit less inhibited about many things.)

Karnival kicks off every year on the 11th Day of the 11th Month at 11:11… This year it was 11/11/11 at 11:11 it ends the night before Ash Wednesday with the onset of Lent.

There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation.

One is by the sword. The other is by debt.
