Angela Merkel & A Fourth Term ( Archived) (45)

The Migration Period was a time of widespread migrations of peoples, notably the Germanic tribes and the Huns, within or into Europe in the middle of the first millennium AD. It has also been termed in English by the German loanword Völkerwanderung and—from the Roman and Greek perspective—the Barbarian Invasions. Many of the migrations were movements of Germanic, Hunnic, Slavic, and other peoples into the territory of the then Roman Empire with or without accompanying invasions or war.

Scientific consensus[citation needed] established time frames for the Migration Period as beginning with the invasion of Europe by the Huns in 375, and ending with the conquest of Italy by the Lombards in 568. Various factors contributed to this phenomenon, and the role and significance of each one is still very much discussed among experts on the subject. Starting in 382, the Roman Empire and individual tribes made treaties regarding their settlement in its territory. The Franks, a Germanic tribe which would later found Francia—a predecessor of modern France and Germany—settled in the Roman Empire and were given a task of securing the northeastern Gaul border. Western Roman rule was first violated with the Crossing of the Rhine and the following invasions of the Vandals and Suebi. With wars ensuing between various tribes, as well as local populations in the Western Roman Empire, more and more power was transferred to Germanic and Roman militaries.

There are contradicting opinions whether the fall of the Western Roman Empire was a result or cause of tribes getting on the move. The Eastern Roman Empire was less affected by migrations and survived until the Fall of Constantinople in 1453. In the modern period, the Migration Period was increasingly described with a rather negative connotation and tribes' contribution to the fall of Rome was more and more underlined. In place of the fallen Western Rome, Barbarian kingdoms arose in the 5th and 6th centuries and came to decisively shape European culture of the upcoming Middle Ages..........

Some of my student's have houses and apartments in Germany. Plus, I have several friends (Latvian and German) in key cities. The stories they share are sooo alarming!

During the main invasion of immigrants, the government forced home owners to give their housing to the immigrants if the property was not actively occupied. In other words, all vacant rentals were confiscated by the government with forced compliance.

Does that sound fair????

We can NOT be classifying these people in the traditional scientific method of Positive Classification! (ie. The refugees are human and need shelter. We are good humans, so we must accept responsibility for caring for them. Anyone who objects is 'bad'.//..which is an application of a 'moral' onto a logical modal proposition.)

The invading nation uses a Dichotomy method of classification. You either are or you aren't.
And, if you recall, what does their book say about those who "aren't"?

Aesop's fable about the Viper rings true. The farmer brought the near frozen snake into his house to warm by the fire. When the snake became coherent of his surroundings, it began to attack the farmer's children.

Why should we be surprised when the snake awakes and bites us? It either is a snake or it isn't.
A viper never changes its skin.

Angela Merkel is doing her Job well. She was a lawyer in the DDR and even though she came from the communist DDR she is relatively conservative and somewhat liberal too .You showed that she was marching with her comrade (former DDR) she didn't have any choice that time. What communist tells you to do...you have to follow. DDR was worst no one can voice their own opinion. Merkel is very powerful lady like Thatcher of UK BUT she doesn't misused her position as a Chancellor. I am German and I can speak for it.

who told you such quatsch?

At school, she learned to speak Russian fluently, and was awarded prizes for her proficiency in Russian and Mathematics. Merkel was educated at Karl Marx University, Leipzig, where she studied physics from 1973 to 1978. While a student, she participated in the reconstruction of the ruin of the Moritzbastei, a project students initiated to create their own club and recreation facility on campus. Such an initiative was unprecedented in the GDR of that period, and initially resisted by the University; however, with backing of the local leadership of the SED party, the project was allowed to proceed.

Near the end of her studies, Merkel sought an assistant professorship at an engineering school. As a condition for getting the job, Merkel was told she would need to agree to report on her colleagues to officers of the Ministry for State Security (Stasi). Merkel declined, using the excuse that she could not keep secrets well enough to be an effective spy. Merkel worked and studied at the Central Institute for Physical Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences in Berlin-Adlershof from 1978 to 1990. After being awarded a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) for her thesis on quantum chemistry in 1986, she worked as a researcher and published several papers. In 1986 she was able to travel freely to West-Germany to participate at a congress; she also participated in a multi-week language course in Donetsk.WIKI
