(82,849 posts)President Trump seems to have an inexhaustible supply of misinformation at his stubby little fingertips. If he finds out about the Lindbergh Baby kidnapping, he'd blame it on Democrats.

(12,858 posts)There was a large 'squatters' movemrnt in Hamburg and West Berlin. IIRC there was a housing shortage and young people lived in abandoned or closed buildings. A major site of such protests was the Hafenstrasse area in Hamburg.
About the same time there were major on-going protests in Hamburg when a large housing area was demolished to build a theater complex for the near permanent performance of Les Miserables. When I first heard about the black bloc in the Seattle protests, I thought they had come from Germany.

(37,364 posts)how much these types of protests accomplish. I think local protests here have made points. To people looking in from outside, it may look chaotic and not goal directed. With that many countries participating, some education helps.

Guess which media 45 is calling fake news today.
