A nurse “died suddenly”:
Nurse Mélanie dies of stroke, age 33
November 16, 2023
Mélanie was 33 years old and had two young children. She was injected three times, so that she could keep her job as a nurse. She just succumbed to a stroke a few days ago. She was not overweight, was not a smoker, did not take oral contraceptives and also had no health impairment. In addition, she regularly practiced physical exercise in the gym. The connection with the injections is more than likely; it would be necessary to show intellectual dishonesty to doubt it. Today, Melanie leaves two young orphans. This is a new drama caused by these absolutely unprotective and very dangerous injections. The horror therefore continues due to the zealous and senseless application of the vile, criminal and cruel law of August 5, 2021, a law without any medical foundation and therefore diabolical. Who was able to design it, write it, have it voted on and vote on it?

Sudden death of controversial manager
November 15, 2023
We have just been informed that Franz Xaver Ohnesorg died suddenly last night at the age of 75. He was preparing for a farewell concert at the Ruhr Piano Festival in ten days’ time. Ohnesorg was a highly energetic, often abrasive executive whose career coups included running Carnegie Hall and the Berlin Philharmonic. He walked out on both jobs, and still bounced back. As young manager at the Munich Philharmonic he hired Sergiu Celibidache as music director. Next, he put the Cologne Philharmonie on the map. Hired by Isaac Stern to run Carnegie Hall, he fell out with virtually everyone in the building before phoning in his resignation from a cab on the way to Kennedy Airport. He flew to Berlin to look after the Philharmonic Orchestra in the transition years from Claudio Abbado to Simon Rattle. He departed pretty much overnight in 2005 to be artistic director of the Ruhr Piano Festival.

Killed in a “vaxxident”:
66-Year-old dies in accident
November 16, 2023
Tragic accident on Thursday in Tannhäuser Street: Shortly before 13:00, a man lost control of his vehicle due to a medical cause. He was probably already unconscious at this time. However, his vehicle continues to drive in the direction of the Parzen butchery. The Mercedes initially crashed into the barrier beacons of a construction site. Then he rammed the local road sign at the corner of Tannhäuser Street/Wotan Street. It gets carried away. The car continues to hurl in the direction of the sales room. "We only saw that a car was flying," a butcher shop saleswoman describes her impressions to our newspaper. "There was a huge bang, we thought he was going into the window.“ The car then roams through some bushes. It only comes to a stop at a small wall just before the butcher's building. "He was taken out of the car unconscious and resuscitated," says the saleswoman. The rescuers tried to resuscitate the 66-year-old first on the spot and then took him to the Bayreuth Clinic. They couldn't save him anymore. As the police headquarters announced in the afternoon, he died a short time later in the hospital.
