i would headline the lecture "The Rise and Fall of the German Empire", because like no head of state before, a.m. has ruined a respected, leading country in every aspect: economy, security, defence, finances, social security, and the immigration desaster. under her leadership, her party "Christian Democrats" took more socialist & libdem stands like greenies & socialists themselves - they even formed the "Great Coalition". a growing number of patriotic conservatives rejects support, as does her voters. she was STASI (code IM ERIKA) like president Gauck (code IM LARVE) and others. google search "angela merkel criticism" will debunker more details, as does the weekly chart for the popularity of politicians "Sonntagsfrage": Angela is freefalling bottomless. PEGIDA, the Dresden born citizen "movement against islamization of europe", has the slogan "Merkel muss weg" (Merkel has to leave). google it for infos beyond the lecture. angela merkel is a dangerous, power sticking trojan horse for german people interests, pretty much like obama is for gop voters. just my 2 cent - as a straight honest comment on an enthusiastic, biased lecture.
