What is the current political situation in Germany?
The current political situation in Germany is very hard to describe. I hope you can understand all words and meanings, because I am a native German speaker.
The official version of Germany's political situation:
After world war 2, Germany was liberated by the USA, Great Britain and France. After a little time, Germany got his first democratic parliament and its constitution (it is a basic law, but the Germans believe, that it is a constitution). In 1990 the German Democratic Republic, which is the middle part of Germany joined the Federal Republic of Germany. The German Democratic Republic was in the soviet occupation area.
After the reunification of Germany the politics got very EU friendly. The parties are fighting against each other on every election, but since the end of WWII no party did a really good politic for the people in Germany. The people today in Germany are more and more disappointed from the politics. Most people see, that they don't really live in freedom.
This is the political situation that may be official in other countries except in Germany:
After the capitulation of the German Wehrmacht in 1945, USA, Great Britain and France occupied Germany. The eastern parts are occupied by the soviets. Because occupation is very expensive, the Allies gave Germany the currency "Deutsche Mark". The first law in Germany (until today) are the SHAEF laws. SHAEF is the Supreme Headquarter of Allied Expedition Forces. To make Germany look like a sovereign country, the SHAEF installed a government, a democratic parliament and a basic law for the federal republic of Germany.
Most people in Germany don't see the difference between a basic law OF a country and a basic law FOR a county. The official headline of Germany's basic law is "FOR" and called "Grundgesetz fuer die Bundesrepublik Deutschland". The word for (fuer) mean that it is a given law. In a sovereign republic, the people elect a constitution. There is a difference between a constitution and a basic law.
The FRG basic "constitution" court wrote in the dict 2BvF 1/73, that the German Reich still exists and the BRD is only a part of the Reich in a smaller area.
In 1990 the German Democratic Republic JOINED the Federal Republic of Germany and the capitalism. In reality, Germany is still NOT reunified until today, because east Prussia and the other east parts are still in polish administration. The Federal Republic of Germany which is not the successor of the German Reich had never the right to sign international right treaties.
Today, German people don't really know about their political situation. The USA is doing a camouflage dictatorship here and nearly all people believe, that they are living in a sovereign country with a sovereign government. I don't really know, but some people say, that there is a secret contract that every German chancellor has to sign before his swearing.
Most people are very disappointed about the politics and the democratic system. They are not asked about the EU, the Euro, the bank rescue money and the fascistic Lisbon treaty. But these people don't know that the government of the FRG has no chance to join another way, that may be better for the German people.
Most EU citizens don't have a blue passport. Nearly all have a red passport. In a German passport, the nationality is Deutsch, not Deutschland, not Bundesrepublik Deutschland. This fact alone shows, that the federal republic of Germany is an occupation construct of WWII.
If you don't believe this, you should look for SHAEF and for Adelaide institute on the Internet. For non German speaking people it is hard to discover the web for documents that prove that what I told you. Just look for 2BvF 1/73. Or maybe you have a German speaking friend who can look for all this.
All in all the political situation is not good for Germans. But as long as they don't know, they will only be disappointed and the consumption society will go on until the revelation comes.
The Leipzig Debate (German: Leipziger Disputation) was a theological disputation originally between Andreas Karlstadt and Johann Eck. Eck, a defender of Catholic doctrine, had challenged Karlstadt to a public debate concerning the doctrines of free will and grace. The Leipzig Debate took place at Pleissenburg Castle (now the location of the city hall) in Leipzig, and lasted from June to July 1519.
Martin Luther arrived in Leipzig and joined the debate in July 1519, at the invitation of Eck. Luther and Eck expanded the terms of the debate, to include matters such as purgatory, the sale of indulgences, the need for and methods of penance, and the legitimacy of papal authority.[1]
A joint verdict on the outcome of the debate was to be issued by the University of Erfurt and the University of Paris, but the theological faculty of Erfurt recused itself. The faculty in Paris delivered a negative verdict on Luther's writings in 1521, but made no direct reference to the debate in Leipzig itself.

What is Germany's second largest airlines after Lufthansa?
Earning their position as the second largest scheduled commercial airline in Germany is Air Berlin. Its origins are unique in that as an airline envisaged to fly from and to points in Germany and the European continent, the airline was registered in Miami, Florida, USA.
In addition to its stateside registration, Air Berlin's crew - Pilots, engineering crew, etc., were strictly limited to citizens of the United Kingdom, United States, Soviet Union, and France. This was not an aggressive form of nationalism or bias. It was due to a legal mandate from the cold war involving West Berlin's legal status. It was a requisite under the spoils of war that all air traffic to/from the city was restricted solely to the victors of World War II.
Further adding to Air Berlin's competitive stance, it is now a fully participating partner in the Oneworld Alliance - a consortia of airlines committed to offering passengers seamless connectivity between its partners, combined fare structures, and frequent flier fidelity recognition such as sharing of business class and first class lounges, upgrades and coordinated flight connecting times.
