It's a sin
Walter Mixa
As a regular reader of this column is one the topic of "abuse of wards in the Catholic Church" familiar for a long time . jumped Not just since the mainstream media are on the train.
meantime, however, accepts this Story proportions, which may be described only as a global. On behalf of the "education will" of the official Church was once again called our friend Mixa. Since some time ago, but following could read:
| Five former children in care in affidavits raise serious allegations against the Augsburg Bishop Walter Mixa: In the seventies and eighties, he allegedly struck her several times. (...) The diocese Augsburg called the accusations in a statement as "absurd, untrue and obviously invented with the intent to defame the bishop personally." The diocese denies the allegations "decided" and "expressly reserves the civil and criminal action" before. |
Strong stuff. When faced half a dozen your sworn officers (many are there now) so offensively going on, then you have probably have a lot in the rear. I mean, besides the "finding" that in general the sexual revolution is to blame for everything, as we in the last issue of the "Top Ten" could learn from you, Mr Mixa. Well, for once out with it :
| education and corporal punishment - like the Bishop Mixa of Augsburg by his own admission do not mix. The priest defended himself against accusations decided to have beaten children. "A priest must be nonviolent," he said. "That's what I've always held." |
Then the case would actually have to be clear. A few days later, however ...
| The Augsburg Bishop Walter Mixa not rule out that he has beaten in his time as parish priest Schrobenhausener children. It may be that he was 20 or 30 years spread in his time as pastor in Schrobenhausen "one or two slaps," Mixa said on Friday the Bild am Sonntag newspaper. (...) So far he had relevant allegations of victims always rejected strictly. |
you perceive. So much for
Mixas mantra "A priest must be nonviolent.
Walter Mixa
few years ago, in the edition dated 27/02/2007 , we dealt with before Mixa, where among other things, in view of his remarkable financial management. We remember that the man of God had been in 2003 in his capacity as chaplain to the German troops in Macedonia, and had tried on the occasion of a currency smuggling from a slush fund for a Macedonian colleagues. The story blew up, but made no particular news.
Against this background it is hardly surprising when one reads that appeared earlier the cash Mixa loved dealing with the big money, and here even then just not as took:
| Mixa is for information repeatedly (the "Augsburger Allgemeine") funds from the children's home carrier Catholic orphanage Foundation Schrobenhausen "not appropriate" have used. (...) As a parish pastor and Board of Trustees Chairman (1975 to 1996) should have Mixa antiques worth 70,000 marks acquired "is not statutory, including a bookcase, a Secretary and a engraving with a value of 43,000 marks. Some of the items have had their place in the rectory. |
's because I conceive? The man has money for years, which was intended for poor orphans, abused in luxury fittings for his office. And the orphans as icing also beaten. Your excuse for this mess I want to hear, man
| "In fact, it had probably several times financially uncertain assignments of equipment between the orphanage foundation and the church foundation," it said today in a written statement the Diocese of Augsburg. |
"Unclear assignment." . That's not enough, Master. Not at all. Therefore :
| The Augsburg Bishop Walter Mixa submitted his resignation. After matching information from the "Augsburger Allgemeine" and "Sueddeutsche Zeitung", the controversial Catholic priest said on Wednesday evening a letter to Pope Benedict XVI. In it the 68-year-old had offered his resignation from office in Augsburg, and as bishop of the military armed forces. (...) The chairman of the Bishops' Conference, Robert Zollitsch, Mixa was suggested that Wednesday, his office to sleep "temporarily" leave - a move that which is considered unique in the recent history of Catholicism in Germany. It is not unlikely that he was agreed with the Vatican. |
And if Papa Ratzinger already fed up by one of his most loyal terrier, then says, I think, everything. There is the fact that Ratzinger's resignation Mixas has not yet been adopted, whereas the comparable resignation of a Belgian bishop was signed within two hours, probably no more than a side note.
Jürgen Rüttgers
to this policy. More precisely, to Jürgen Rüttgers (or what you thought?). Just relax until the polls for the CDU in North Rhine-Westphalia a little of the scandal involving Rent-a-Prime Minister, we also discussed in detail here. Now is hot phase in the campaign, and which acts like a magnifying glass on all political revelations. Three guesses, who caught it this time : managed
| The present head of the North Rhine-Westphalia's Representation in Berlin, Tim Arnold (...) (in state elections in 2005) an initiative called "Voters for Change," the candidacy of former CDU opposition leader Jürgen Rüttgers support. Now put the 40-year-old as his teacher in a financial scandal. For Arnold helped in the early summer of 2005 NRW companies, won funds for the Rüttgers-election tax rates. Everything went on CDU accounts. This is confirmed by an email that Arnold the Rüttgers confidant Boris Berger said. |
So have researched the colleagues of http://www.wir-in-nrw-blog.de/. To summarize the short story: The head of a multi-billion dollar automotive supplier gave the CDU-canvassing of "voters for change" and wanted money for a donation receipt. Since these CDU initiative but not by the tax office was registered as a charity, was not. Then invited the donors their money back ultimately, what with Arnold unexpected - sparked creative forces - and illegal:
| The campaign contribution was recorded as an expense in the company. Arnold wrote to Berger literally: "You won the sum now as costs and not as a donation." In this case, companies like Hella KGaA Hueck & Co. does not sell donations to political parties or groups. North Rhine-Westphalia, the CDU itself has on its website out. |
Not that the CDU and its hawker would shave about:
| But this apparent violation of applicable laws of party funding is not everything. Arnold committed suicide in the email one more mistake and revealed that his voter initiative reckoning of a CDU-party account. He was loud, "Aachener Nachrichten" 2005 publicly insisted that the initiative "party independent and privately funded" was operating in the campaign. |
The question remains, what did Rüttgers and his minions like that the mites of the big donors from the business end of CDU accounts in Rüttgers election campaign fund, and landed the illegal settlement was devised as a cost of the voter initiative.
| Arnold, who was rewarded in 2006 by Rüttgers with the job as head of the NRW office in Berlin, gave this very clear information. He asked Berger in his email urgently "to ensure that all donations are included in this account at the Thanksgiving action." Donations? Thank you letter to the CDU? That sounds suspiciously like one of the NRW-CDU to Hesse outsourced covert campaign organization. |
For in Frankfurt is located near a conservative advertising professional, who with the support of Arnold the campaign account was charged. Berger is the way Boris Berger, the intimate friend of Rüttgers and current head of the State Chancellery, has with the Arnold ausbaldowert this lousy deal then.
way. If they are interested in to what sum it was the billionaire Unternemer: He wanted 3300, - € deposit.
Jürgen Rüttgers
The story about Arnold were dubious campaign financing is not all what is at Rüttgers dirt under carpet. A Dienstwagenäffäre threatened too. This time it's about the aforementioned bosom-friend Rüttgers Berger. You can read this then Sun :
| The current campaign strategists should be sweetened whereabouts in 2005 in the State Chancellery and the associated absence of a better-paid job in the private sector with a 40,000-euro company car. As mountains rose Accountants opposition came not to be illegally present to the government employees - will have been aware of the Rüttgers again nothing. Berger speaks today of a "blunder". |
Well, now it's getting tight for Rüttgers. Stupid excuses of the brand "knew nothing" he can afford is certainly not because of
| former CDU's chief financial officer Bernhard Herzog wrote to the operation and provided information on 27 June 2005 letter also CDU leader and Prime Minister Jürgen Rüttgers on the Auto-expensive gift to the campaign manager. Compared to "Spiegel Online" Rüttgers had now explained that he had received such a letter and never was shortly after the government takeover was busy with other things than with a company car. " The letter he had not received and a phone conversation with the CDU staff on 27 June at 10.20 clock had not existed, such as this in a note with the words "Dr. Dr. Berger had noted changes: Subject Rüttgers. |
Does this only for me to "know nothing"?
Fairly thin, this excuse. Not least, because even common sense tells you that without the consent of the Chief a company car as a gift to those closest to hardly conceivable.
Karl-Rudolf Korte
And because it's so beautiful, here's a farce about the self-proclaimed "workers' leader." On campaign posters, the CDU in NRW has to do nothing more than to once again warn of red socks. No wonder we have no responsibility after five years of government Positive to show.
There must be polished up its image. Little Helpers in the Garden of habilitation policy experts offer after all their good offices to :
| Professor Karl-Rudolf Korte is media compatible. The Duisburg political scientist writes monthly columns for his hometown newspaper WAZ, or technical discussions in the monthly magazine Cicero, commented on political events at his home station WDR and appears as a large choice of commentators for the ZDF. (...) Korte himself proposed in early summer 2005, the State Chancellery a sponsorship scheme for companies before, for scientific research in the vicinity of the new Prime Minister to finance. "So we do not need a temporary solution with party funds," the respected scientists wrote to the Politburo Manager Berger. CDU party funding? That should raise questions. |
Korte. The oh-so-independent professor, who is also in the conservative news channel "Phoenix" tells stories regularly. The man infected with Rüttgers under a blanket because "scientific research in the vicinity of the new Prime Minister" means nothing other than that Rüttgers should be represented as a pseudo-scientific Messiah
| was then hastily Korte the thing that was obvious vorbesprochen a long time. His colleague Martin Florack had a great interest, "his thesis on the initial phases of the MPs to make." Since he was already bound to September to the chair, so Korte, "we do not need a temporary solution with possible group's money." Such a financing model is thinking too Korte not only from one. It sounds as planned. If the CDU about paying for that Rüttgers was accompanied as a new MP from the start, scientifically? |
That is in plain text nothing else but that one of his Korte Charges feilbot to Rüttgers in the form of a thesis, so to speak, with scientific expertise, to issue a great testimony. Finally, even before Korte suggested to run this thing about the financing CDU donations, such that a donor money earmarked for the university gives doctoral work at the Lord Florack and dabbled his professor.
this did not, but to the detriment of Mr. Florack the final solution was not, because:
| Martin Florack moved into the State Chancellery, was given access to many government documents, participated in confidential meetings, was always Rüttgers close to it. And was paid by the state apparatus, work by contract: 50 000 € he received for his studies, which resulted in a 436-page paper with the statement, was the new Rüttgers Rau. (...) In return Boris Berger was allowed to compete as soon as honored guest lecturer at Korte's School. |
Perhaps we should mention that the dissertation was not published until today. A publication is not even planned.
is probably better that way.
Guido Westerwelle
After the scandalous comments of the last time, retained Mr. Westerwelle markedly. Is probably better that way, if in the opinion polls for election in NRW always herumdümpelt in the atmosphere of the five percent threshold.
But now you go back into the political life as foreign minister. Seriously. Maintained. Interviews with journalistic quality products to help here:
| Many a "Bravo" readers should clip in reading the current issue. For between photo-Love Story, Dr. Sommer and fashion tips laughs the Minister to the youth. "Only in 'Bravo' reveals policy-Star Guido Westerwelle, as he really is - at least promises the magazine. |
No, this is not a belated April Fool good people. Staring you here:
"Our foreign minister is really into Johnny Depp" . If I now use gagmäßig would then jump again, you do not make jokes about homosexuals. Then I suggest, however, at least, to let it be tantamount importance that the fields "Westerwelle" and "Depp" without a confession in the "Bravo" are not far apart.
| course, by the topic of sexuality in the interview. Although he had previously read "Dr. Sommer," but he had been informed elsewhere, said the foreign minister. "Since would be the 'Bravo' came too late. |
I can imagine. Because
| As a teenager he had for Suzi Quatro "in their leather gear" and raved for Abba. |
The Westerwelle is a Ledermaid. Then she saw the "enlightenment" to reflect that probably this:
Dieter Jasper
impostor can we have reported in this column, some say. How it looks, do conservative Voters a doctoral degree on the ballot as an intellectual template weighting. The old cliché of German subjects, that a "Dr." competence before the name suggests, you know.
The thought before the election probably Dieter Jasper in North Rhine-Westphalia, who wanted to bewitch his constituency in the Münsterland obviously with such a suffix.
How Dieter Jasper you do not know?
| The man recently became a nationally known, but the reason does not fit for a parliamentary deputies of the CDU. Who wants to stand tall in the press because he bought an ominous Ph.D., who in the academic world as much value is like a Rough Paper? |
bought the doctorate. To be precise,
| Local media said Jasper, in economics from the University of Muenster studied, he had met in 2003 in search of a not so strict doctoral regulations on the "Free University of depths' in Switzerland . He was looking for a light and part way possible to make the doctor because he still wanted to work for his father's company, tanks and apparatus Joseph Jasper GmbH & Co. KG in Hopsten. |
He has tried a most convenient route to a doctorate. Title for cash. When the case was uncovered, he claimed to be "set against fraudsters" to. That sounds a bit after that one will complain if they tried to walk through a rainstorm and still is soaked.
the rest stops Jaspers stupid excuse was also no further consideration, and he knew exactly which store he chooses because, as the "Free University depths"
| is known since 1985 as the title mill, which indiscriminately Doctor , professor and certificates in more than a dozen fields of issuing cash willing customers. Either in Switzerland or anywhere else in the world, she enjoys academic status. At this very special university, posing as Fernuni, there are no students and no permanent staff. Not even with their own Internet presence may decorate the self-appointed University .(...) At the post office address of the supposed educational institution is found only a mailbox. The University is a company under Swiss law, the accounts are not even recognized in Switzerland. Probably for this reason can be found on the website of the municipality depths not indicative of the higher education institution. |
should be noted that even before almost fifteen cases were known, where people were awarded their Teufener doctorate against big money, and in 2006 there was a Berlin parliament, Mario Czaja (CDU-Naturally), who landed on this shady letter box company a pseudo-doctor in the final sale. Since
but sackcloth and ashes announced, Mr. Jasper. I will now hear an apology, because abuse is entitled to § 132 of the Criminal Code may even impose prison.
| The parliamentarians Jasper sees no problem. "One should things into perspective. What's been happening? I've worn a track that I should not have been wearing" he told the local press. "But I've now been corrected." |
Oh. Well, then everything is clear.
Angela Merkel
other day was all of us sleeping pill Angela in America. Again. This time, however, no snoring next to the flesh-and-Obama, but in Hollywood Glamour. Since swarmed the mainstream media again:
| power meets Glamour: Chancellor Angela Merkel will meet during their U.S. trips in Hollywood with stars such as Bruce Willis and Nicole Kidman. (...) Merkel wants to explore opportunities in California for German artists, scientists and entrepreneurs. |
Aha. For German, Merkel wants to bask in the sun on Hollywood Boulevard in the glow of the stars. Are beautiful pictures in the "colorful" for those at home: Look, we are Angela on you and you with the demigods of the screen.
Well, because over here with the Glamour . I am after all the fuss Rüttgers now anyway so properly in "Red Carpet" mood.
| The names Nicole Kidman, Ashton Kutcher and Bruce Willis were (...) on the list of celebrities who were invited to a dinner, the mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa, was at the Getty Center Restaurant, where high in the hills above the city a few hours earlier, in honor of Merkel. The Stars also had promised but has not been released. Succinct comment from a staff member of the Getty Center: "Hey Baby, it's Hollywood!" |
Well. Celebrity you are until you can afford it, aufzukreuzen more than academic quarter hour late, superstar only if you can afford it, not even aufzurauschen. Sun
Who is it now appeared, the "most powerful woman in the world" to be able to watch the chewing?
Well, great. And to top it measures:
| But will the Wahlkalifornier and Germany world famous TV host Thomas Gottschalk (...). dangerous in a plaid suit |
And this drought inertia of B-celebrities in Hollywood knows no bad enough, the German mainstream press to rauszuhauen slimy headlines such as: "Merkel meets every VIP in Los Angeles" , "Angie goes to Hollywood" , "Knots Landing" , "Dr. Merkel discovered the Glamour" , "Glamour, Glamour and Merkel in California," .
And so on.
I kidding myself
Jürgen Rüttgers
Once again an election in North Rhine-Westphalia. Given the raft of scandals and minor scandals of the CDU itself there is almost forgets that this is also about tough issues. Education, energy, municipal finance, et cetera.
Mr Rüttgers, tell me what you plan in case another term as prime minister can do. What are the most urgent policy areas which tackled will have?
| Rüttgers wants to save the German songs. Instead of hip-hop to his countrymen back home belting out popular songs. |
What?
| "We want to develop with the State Music Council and the Choral Association NRW a comprehensive program to promote the German folk song," the Prime Minister announced in the "Ruhr Nachrichten" on. |
Verarschung, or what?
| Rüttgers why will the teachers continue to , Stop in the classroom to sing again more folk songs. Furthermore, the collaboration with publishers will be encouraged to "spread German songs targeted" - in books, CDs, or PC games. "Save the folk songs", the program called (...). So now the German is to be strengthened in a musical way. Jürgens Musikantenstadl. |
Rüttgers understands the words in an educational campaign, "Wandering is the miller's joy" can sing by heart.
is given me only one thing:
Joachim Meisner
And here it is, your moment of Zen:
Until next time!
"The Top Ten Conservative Idiots" will return.
