#GDR #OTD 2001 – Death of Thomas Brasch, East German playwright who challenged invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968
Poem by Thomas Brasch, a playwright who emigrated from the GDR to West Germany in 1976
What I have, I do not want to lose, but Where I am, I do not want to stay, but Who I love, I do not want to leave, but Those I know, I do not want to see, but Where I live, I do not want to die, but Where I die, there I do not want to go: I want to stay where I have never been.

Brisante E-Mail des früheren Referatsleiters für Rechtsextremismus im Amt für Verfassungsschutz #Thüringen, über die heute @TAOnline berichtet. Auch uns @AfD_Thueringen wurde die Mail zugeschickt. Einige Anmerkungen dazu: (Thread)

thueringer-allgemeine.de/politik/streit…
Das u.a. für "Auswertung Rechtsextremismus" zuständige Fachreferat 52 soll VS-Chef Kramer bei Prüfung einzelner #AfD-bezogener Sachverhalte "bewusst außen vor gelassen" haben. Später soll er eine Einbindung ausdrücklich untersagt haben. "In höchstem Maße ungewöhnlich". (2/…)
Auch die öffentlichkeitswirksame Verkündung des "Prüffalls #AfD" soll entgegen der ausdrücklichen Empfehlung der Fachleute im zuständigen Referat 52 erfolgt sein. Noch 2 Tage vor der PK soll auch die Stabsstelle Controlling von der öffentlichen Verkündung abgeraten haben. (3/…)

I had no choice of "color" I was born this is me. poverty was my upbringing. My Mom , Aunts, Grandparents taught me to respect, fo be thankful, say please ,thank you. Not to lie, not steal, not to tease or call names.
I got "woppins" lots of woppins..

I can say who I turned out to be today is from what I learned by age 10 ( the hard way) .

As poor as We were, Single Mom three kids. The biggest thing I learned from my family. Is to never take pitty, to always be proud of what we have.
To never place yourself below anyone because your shoes have holes. Or come from second time around store. Usually the school bus driver would have the school donate me cloths and shoes. To stop the teasing. It would make Momma cry. I never let that bother me.

#History/#Art thread – From my recent trip to Madurai/Tirunelveli. On Jain sites (some with a rich history dating back to at least the 3rd cent. BCE), early Pandyan rock-cut cave temples (7th-8th cent. CE) & the amazing Vettuvan koil.

Pic: Mahavira (~8 cent CE), Kizhakuyilkudi
Before I start on the places, the history around all this is fascinating & splits opinion. Is it apt to call the script Tamili/Tamil Brahmi? Did it develop independently in the Tamil country/come with the Jain monks from the north? Were 8,000 Jains actually impaled in Madurai?>
>Were the Saivites overaggressive in promoting their faith? Shall only be happy to discuss on these separately (unless it gets too long/irrational). And I’m not posting every inscription from the places here, despite their importance. Again, shall be happy to discuss them.

1/ #German magazine .@DerSPIEGEL reports rising number of #xrw foreign fighters (2,500 now) joining Asow militia in #Ukraine to fight agst #Russia in current print issue.
2/ It is also reported Asow militia actively recruited openly during largest German #xrw concert in #Themar in July 2017. This shows how much underestimated the threat of #xrw foreign fighters compared to #jihadists is. Imagine outcry if #ISIS would openly recruit at a concert.
3/ And the issue is not new. German and other European #neonazis have for example fought in HOS militia in #Bosnian civil war. See this remarkable article featuring interviews with some of them. bit.ly/2yQrL8k
