Black American in Germany learning US history from German public TV. That wasn't on my bingo card. Your reactions to this are so wholesome in their obviously genuine outrage.
Yeah because America doesn't want to tell anyone about the terrible things they've done. The great thing about Die Anstalt and lots of other German Satire is that they don't keep a secret. They'll happily talk about Germanys shortcomings and criticise politicians.
Germans, if interested in History, are interested in History, not in German History. Every Countys History is connected to the History of the whole World, so if you want to understand the Past, the Present and the Future you have to abondon the thought of national History.
The saddest part is that Mossadek just wanted to "decollonize" the oil and gas companies in Iran. Nothing would had hindered the US or Great Britain from buying that oil and gas from the open market. So basically that didn't all happen because they couldn't get these resources, but because they now had to pay a fair price for it.
Sadly it's about the usual greed of world powers and western markets. Human life doesn't mean anything to them as long as they don't need to "waste" a single Dollar/Euro etc.
well, this was a very serious topic presented in a funny way. The question was: why is america seen as the bad guy in more and more countries? we're the good guys, leader of the free world and stuff. Why does nobody believe us any more when we tell em? 1) Well, you made a claim. You have been weighed. You have been measured. And you have absolutely Been found wanting. Welcome to the New World. God save you, if it is right that He should do so. 2) Actions have consequences. Play stupid games...win stupid prizes. What we have seen in this clip is that America favors short term solutions for problems without ever thinking about the long term impact. This is like playing poker when the rest of the world is playing chess. and not just chess, 4d chess. This is called realpolitics. It's basically asking: what can we do to solve this problem RIGHT NOW? Who can we use? That is why america does not have any friends. let that one sink in. america may be germany's friend, but germany is not america's friend. they are just - more or less - temporary allies that can be used to further america's goals. does "Coalition of the willing" ring a bell? 3)history repeats itself. what happened with Mossadeq in Iran the us government tried to do again in venezuela. And again, it was all about the oil. And of course the power to dictate who the people can and cannot elect. the venezuelan people can't just elect a socialist president without us approval. the nerve, how dare they!
@@emanymton5789 he venezuelan people can't just ele.... they tried, and the usa said no! and then screams glorious victory, i came to this world and knew day 1 the worst thing and best thing to happen to the world is the usa, we learn what not to do and we get protection, you get glory and taxwaste XD (suffer the wrath of a century... after this war with mommy ruzzia, righty?)
@@emanymton5789 I’ve never met a german that would consider the US their ally ngl. I guess thanks for the raisin bombers, but we all know you just didn’t want us to become commies and you wanted a nicely far away theatre for the war with the soviets. And yes. We may be “friends” because quite often, our ideals align, but the apart from the most naive goody two shoes, I can’t imagine any person declaring real friendship with the US, when it’s international politics have always been the least refined, stupid, aggressive, openly careless, etc.. Now nothing against the people. But I personally and most others I know would consider the USA somewhat of a hypercapitalistic China, that only somewhat works as a “democracy”(that voting system) because it doesn’t have 1.4 billion people. Sorry, but You’re writing Human Resources with a small h and an all caps “OIL”. As you said. They were found lacking. But it doesn’t matter who I ask (politically speaking). Doesn’t matter if its a social democrat or or the christian union or even the Afd guys from my hometown… All across the spectrum, be they radicalised or not I’ve seen people unite in their view of the USA as a country. Those who love the US tend to be radicalised idiots without their own opinion that tend to come back after living in the US for exactly as long as they don’t need to go to the hospital. Funnily enough: true story. Stories actually. And that within a 40 meter radius around my house… When you ask them about the people in the US you get a lot of different opinions though. Positive and negative. Of course you have to distinguish between country and people and most people kinda feel bad for the US citizens. But hey. Find happiness wherever you want. I don’t care. And I actually don’t really care in general. But the insinuation that the USA is Germany’s friend beyond political banter and trade, culture and probably five million other more or less valid reasons is preposterous. Yes we share commonalities. No, our countries ideal’s don’t fit together at all. Or rather they do, but the methodology of reaching these goals is so vastly different, that friends is an overstatement.
Yeah I also was wondering why he was so surprised but I think it is due to the fact that everyone outside of America can just watch the news realize whats going on while they just see two lunatics screaming at each other with all sorts of profanities unable to get across what really actually happened. Also I realized that my 12 year old me was probably looking exactly the same the first time I read about it :DD
@@witthyhumpleton3514 Maybe, but i think the problem is, that the American voting system doesn't really allow small parties to become bigger, so you'll be forever stuck with two parties, that a lot of people dont agree with. And of course, should one of the 2 parties ever become unpopular (for whatever reason), you have lost democracy. Edit: That is in the current political system/voting system in America. I'm not saying a system with few parties can't be democratic.
@@Marcel-yu2fw Well I know what you mean, and I fundamentally agree with the criticism of the US political system and it's parties. What I said however was meant in a different way, I am asking to disconnect, to some degree, the idea of parties from democracy in the first place. Parties are nothing more than arbitrarily established groups of interests or values that try to represent a core philosophy, this happens with people in any situation, political or not. You can have a system with 1 party that is very democratic, or a system with 12 parties that is highly undemocratic. In the end what I care more about is the structure of how people can vote for their local representatives, how those representatives have power to interact with the government above them, how much of it is handled via direct democracy, representative democracy and random selection processes, how to keep money out of the system for campaigning. These are much more important to wether a country has a functioning democracy or not, in my view, and consequently you could have a state with one party, or to put it in better terms, without a party at all, whereby people vote for representatives of local areas, the entire country or state, and random selection of eligible members of society who interact and counterbalance each other, and I would absolutely consider this a democracy, in fact, pretty utopian even, as it would take away from any party political polemic and populist nonsense to try and gain votes for a particular party. In turn, you can easily imagine a country with many many poltitically motivated groups, funded by larger industries to represent their interests or lobby against others, a strange system of voting that elects leaders who then elect representatives who then vote on who decides who shall be voted into a council that then elects the head of state from a pre-selected list of candidates which is based on rules some arbitrary but complicated rotation for each party decideds, or perhaps another gremium votes on these which will be influenced by think tanks and so forth. The former system sounds much closer to the average citizen and democratic, while the second is basically a farce to pretend the voters opinion matters. I only point this out because I find that often times people think having political parties is a prerequisite to a functioning democracy, or has necessarily to do with being a democracy in the first place, forgetting that poltics and views can be expressed without the direct existence of political parties as well.
I´m from germany and know "Die Anstalt" very well. They have good research and directly after the clip you just watched came a number explaining the german role in this events. I don´t like it, but we are guilty too.
@@UL1999 as long as u were able to vote and voted for the ruling party or didnt vote at all, all actions of the ruling goverment are your fault as a citizen in a democracy
Hey James you have to take into account that formats like "Die Anstalt" und die "Heute Show" are produced by public TV, not private channels. There are several more formats in the area of satyre produced and broadcasted on public channels, thats a european tradition, like more or less precise news in the news shows and not only opinions like on the american bradcasts (like Fox-News et altera) Adiitional there is a big educational problem in the US. Most of the highlighted parts are part of the subjects "Geschichte=History" "Gesellschaftskunde=Social Studies" and so on. First the subjects are not reduced to the own backyard but worldwide, second a bit of critical selfreflection would be great for the us society. Its always funny to see your reaction if something all the wolrd was hardly knowing since decades, is now revealed by opened files, and you americans can't still believe it. And believe me the the worst files wouldn't be revealed either it's just the top of an iceberg, and what can't be deneid anymore as everyone except the american public allready knows. It has to do with the priorities in the us society : NFL, NBA, NHA, NRA, WWC, WWF, Nascar,... there is no place for real life anymore (politics, econmy, ecology,...)
I don't think our public broadcast is unbiased. I think there is no difference in strength of bias between them and private braodcast. The difference is, that all of public broadcast has the same bias. I've also always said, that politicians control our news, just like James said.
@@timwatz2330 If they are neutral, than I'm a dolphin. They broadcast enough scientific unproven or questionable content without any form of critique. I absolutely agree with you.
German society is not that different. Most people here are superficial too. The topics discussed or portrayed by Die Anstalt are topics that should be broadcasted on the news and not just at the late evening when most people lie in bed. Where are the critical news we need to a time where most people can watch them? I saw a video of FUNK about gender ideology, that is scientifically questionable at best without them giving any critiques about that topic.
@@fuselpeter5393 Don't forget about how Kurzgesagt is a multimillion dollar bussiness, sponsored by multibillionaire "Philanthropists", producing propaganda for extremely wealthy individuals. See the latest video from "The Hated One" on UA-cam.
@@timwatz2330 It wouldn't surprise me if they are part of the national broadcast system here in germany funded by taxes. Most of their content isn't that inaccurate tho I would say. They are just people and can make failures too, but they have to adress them later. I don't know so much about them..
How many times do you see Germans in the comment section saying others are Nazis or whatever for them knowing their Basic Laws ect... to often... not even the Anstalt makes them realize that we aint stupid. So, how to calm the citizens who get it? ... comedy...
TBF, the joke that lawyers are evil is more like a German inside joke than anything else. Mostly because the lawyers are the only one that know enough about the law to abuse loopholes in laws. XD
One thing i like about Germany is, that you can openly criticize everything. I kinda got in touch through some distant family members in the US how different they are when it comes to US-Stuff and how shocked they were when i showed them german shows like that. America has stuff like that too, but a way softer- it seems. Anyways, my family kinda liked it because it is so brutally open and the humor dark and dry. I was surprised that they agreed also a lot to the things that were said in these shows from Germany. And i love that those shows do the same to Germany and all other States/countries. Its kinda always good to learn, laugh and get shocked.
The main reason, why American politicians did all of this, Die Anstalt missed. Either because they don't want you to know or because it's so obscure, they didn't think about it. Ever since America got rid of the gold standard, the Dollar's value has been entirely based on the oil trade in the middle east. This is because to keep the american economy and the Dollar powerful in the rest of the world, The American Government instated, that every barrel of oil in the middle east, has to be bought using the Dollar. This is so that all other countries, who want to buy oil from that region, first have to buy $Dollars$ from the U.S. of A. , wich allows America, to pay their debt with U.S. bonds, keeping up the Dollars value and the U.S. Government in power. This is called the "Petrodollar". Whoever tries to trade oil without the Dollar, will find themselves living a shorter life than expected. USA is doing this, so you can live in a "thriving" economy, that is built on debt. All of this is because America's economy is less productive, than the market it consumes.
@@itsmyboardwhotalk If you want an oversimplified explanation, that lacks all of th information necessary to understand why America has to wage war in the middle east, yes it is because of oil, but more importantly it is about the value of the Dollar.
@@timwatz2330the (monetary) value of something is an integral part of itself. the petrodollar is a consequence out of the fact that oil exits. so if they say its because of the oil they are right, because without oil it would have been different. the petrodollar and the consens of washington or already maddisons plans are political strategies in interplay with the dominant ideology (capitalism and liberalism (referring to the scientific term liberalism and not to the american term)). so your structure is wrong ;) and thats why they didnt talk about it in this special version of the show about it, but they discuss it on many other subjects in fact thats maybe the subject they talk the most about. wagner (the guy with the dark hair) started his career with it.
@@itsmyboardwhotalk No, my structure isn't wrong. The driving reason behind the interventions is the value of the Dollar, not the price of oil. But I think that such discussion is not very relevant because it's really just semantics. I just wanted to provide additional context, so that people can better understand the reason why American politicians are so interested in oil from foreign countries, when they've got all the oil they need at home, because it certainly did not make sense to me, before I learned about the petrodollar.
@@timwatz2330 yeah I got that :) but as I said they talk about this in almost every single show, and specially klaus von wagner started his career with this subject and made great satirical shows about it. the reason why they do not talk here about it is because they follow the main structure of the literature.
Pispers and this video basically tell the exact same story, the exact same events are described on the same timeline. They just put the emphasis on slightly different things. Glad you enjoyed it!
@@partikelsmusic My comment was in no way meant as a criticism of either. There is also quite some time between them, so we indeed have more information now. As I said, both pieces focus on different aspects, and I think that's really important, because it is a very multi faceted history.
„Whatever is right can be achieved through the irresistible power of awakened and informed public opinion. Our object, therefore, is not to enquire whether a thing can be done, but whether it ought to be done, to so exert the forces of publicity that public opinion will compel it be done." - William Randolph Hearst
Since the gold standard was lifted, the value of the dollar greatly depends on it being used to trade oil. So whenever somone thinks about trading oil for something other than dollar, thats a threat to americas economy.
sorry, although I am a native English speaker (bilingual German/English), I have problems understanding your comments. How about taking some lessons in Englsh pronunciation? The "innerneg" e.g.? What I did understand was that in the US everything is about money - monetary profit for people that are already rich - that's more than obvious. Die Anstalt is really great! The US is portraid exactly how it is. I know, I have worked for the Army here in Germany and know how these military people tend to think. Seems as if the US governments, no matter if democrats or republicans, like meddling in wars, sorry to say. They argue that they want to spread democracy although the US voting system is everything other than democratic. BTW German TV is not dependent on any kind of commercials.
James, you reacted to Volker Pispers. Ths is just a rerun of the same story. And, no, it's not politics of the US to make everyone like the US, it is about making other countries oppose each other to serve american interests. This is a simplifiction, though.
Hey James, the Canadian law was about local culture and language, not opinions/freedom of speech. But it's of course still pretty ridiculous. Basically imagine you are a content creator in New Orleans and you have to cover Jazz or local food just because you live here, even if you usually talk about let's say chemistry. This of course raises the question what counts as Canadian culture, and which creators are large enough for the rule to apply. And it doesn't make sense on a global platform like UA-cam. If you are Swedish and want to talk about Florida or Floridian talking about Sweden you can do that. Germany solved the issue of not having enough of certain types of content in German by simply sponsoring a bunch of channels to make it instead of bothering creators who don't care.
In 1913 Canada banned all languages but English and French. The USA followed in 1917-18. The Soviets under Lenin did the same in Russia, banning dozends of languages making everyone speak one language and bow to one flag... like in Canada and the USA. It was calledthe Babel-Proclamation and declared the German language a "War-Crime". Thats America.
There is a saying: "Just give em what they want or they'll send their huge army and get it". I think Volker Pispers coined that phrase. I might be wrong tho.
Fun fact: When I was a child of maybe 12-14 years my Mom went for a second job, cleaning an office after work. I went along quite often. It was always boring af, but I remember a few things. There was a huge painting in a gold frame of some guy with amoustache in a uniform on the wall and when I asked the boss who that guy was he proudly said it was Saddam Hussein, his president. Then there were showcases with glass tops and it were some cnc machined metal parts. Conclusion: They were all arrested, because these were parts for rockets.
9/11 Inside Job? No, it seems it was just department jurisdictions, vanity and incompetence. Shooting down passenger planes isn't really something we do casually, just because they go off course. (Heck, even the Russians in the cold war let a private plane land on the red square instead of shooting it down). Especially since the more common terrorist approach was to hijack planes for hostage purposes, giving weight to their demands and proclamations. In Germany, there was actually a debate about an air safety guideline ( § 14 Abs. 3 LuftSiG) that would allow the miltary to shoot down civil planes. The Constitutional Court ruled it unconstitutional to make a law allowing to kill plane passengers in exchange for potential victims on the ground. It dehumanizes and violates their constitutional guarantee to be treated with dignity. This guarantee exists independent on how long they might still have to live. I don't know about the exact US laws, but I strongly suspect that any officer having to decide whether to kill civilians would want to make sure he's doing the right thing - quite possibly longer than it did take. Especially since that was basically the first time in US history and US soil. And so far, the only time...
I love how the elderly generation here makes the joke "its the 6th lesson for me too". Well today studends have to stay until 8th lesson every day. Someone even hast 9 or 10 lessons in one day.
The USA ore better the republican Government have messed up so much.. Start your search with the gunboat diplomacy in 1853..there are so much faults in history. Japan 1853, Paraguay 1859 Venezuela 1899, Kuba 1900, 1902 and 1959, Argentinia 1936, Iran 1953, Irak 1990 and so on..But don`t forget: The UDSSR wasn`t better..
00:38:55 There wasn't even a Situation to let them handle. They had a running and working democracy and just wanted to use their own ressources for their own people. The situations came after the first "intervention".
Great stuff.. It's not often you see an American on YT being able to reflect open minded on their own countries actions as you do, much love and insta sub for that alone.. 1 thing though: I wouldn't call the 2 wars in Iraq and the past 9/11 "intervention" in Afghanistan "micro wars" - they have been full scale wars with years and years of occupation / military presence tied to them.
Calling 9/11 unprovoked after CIA financing of terrorism and murder is also off. It's certainly a horrendous, out of scale and unfathomable response but there was some instigation
16:25 Both Homeini and Sadaam were trained by CIA. There was a rebellion brewing against Shah and Khomeini, who was in the USA at the time was sent to lead it .... but he didn't want to be the puppet. Saddam was given weaponry (including chemical weapons) by the USA to fight Iran ... and then he didn't want to be a puppet anymore ... hence the gulf wars
Hi James, however, that's how all smart people think who can honestly and healthily observe world events, especially with regard to their American aggressive politics, without being blinded by false patriotism and phrases. Grüße aus Dresden
12:00 No, because the USA, and western countries in general, profit of having lesser developed countries as trading partners. It is basically how capitalism works.
this made my day until now. stumbled upon this. and it makes me smile so hard seeing somebody making the "die-anstalt-experience" :) greetz from germany. we have many stuff like this :D
World War II was the first war in which oil as a resource could be decisive for/against loosing the war. For this reason since then, the United States has been looking for oil wells all over the world or has gained access to oil by more or less reasonable means. The oil wells on the territory of the NATO countries are far too small to supply NATO with enough oil. Ironically, the USSR never had this exact problem.
About this Canadian bill (afaik know it's not law yet): They already have (very old) legislation in place that says a certain percentage of what you see on TV must show actual Canadian footage. This was intended to make sure Canada stays independent and preserves its cultural identity and isn't overrun by foreign media. What they now want to do is expand this legislation to the internet. In my opinion that's bullshit because the internet is by definition a global thing and there is no exclusively Canadian corner of the internet. But it would mean that especially streaming services like Netflix and also UA-cam would have to ensure that a Canadian user gets shown a certain percentage of Canadian content. They want to put the responsibility for this on the individual content creators and not the platform. So let's say an artist would have to film a percentage of their music videos in Canada to be able to show their stuff to Canadian viewers. At first they wanted it to also apply to small content creators but have since changed it to only apply to corporations.
If you watched Volker Pispers and this, you should take a look at another episode of „Die Anstalt“ as well, one that takes a look at how the US systematically seeks to dismantle the near east. Name: Die Anstalt: Der große Plan der USA, für den Nahen Osten! Ran: 20.10.2015
Mossadegh wanted to nationalize Iran's Oil that was pumped by Anglo Iranian Company (later BP). Iran didn't have the technology to get the oil and was stripped from it for pennies while it was worth millions.
No it’s not the goal to make others to live the american way of live - that’s only the way the business people try to cover their operations and now China learned from them and in the underground there is a cruel lot going on and we never know it. It’s a play to get rich and powerful Love from Austria 🇦🇹
Imagine, buddy. You’re a very well informed and curious human being. Always looking for new infos. And yet, you were not aware of the cia issue. Now think about all them people not even caring about anything happening outside their own state 😂😂
9:50 No, was not an inside job - too many people would be in on it to keep it as a secret. But the adminstration from Bush actually just reacted slower and it was totally something new. I remember flying before and after and also the new created hysteria about it. So in fact it was a lucky shot by Al Quaida and they never repeated it in that magnitude. But for the Taliban to actually win the war after 20 years - that is a boost into islamic morale more than a single terroristic act.
Imagine there´re groups in germany saying we have no speech of freedom, and then you see this. This is a show payed by tax payers, plot twist: the people who are complaining are mostly complaining about the facts they can´t demonstrate against jews and can´t watch hardcore porn in free Tv in the morning past 6 AM
About the "mustard gas" bit: I think it is making fun of a wishy-washy stance on the export of "dual-use" (civilian and military) goods and repurposing of civilian goods for military use, mustard being harmless, but mustard gas being a chemical weapon.
I wouldn't call em the villain, but they deff are not the good guy either. I'm not so sure what they are exactly, Darth Vader or Palpatine. Germany however is Grand Moff Tarkin, that's for sure.
🤔 Interesting question. You can’t “force” others to adopt another view on what never might have been their priorities unless it be a threat to lots of others. But that could be solely a political decision based on greed. That would just be risking too many lives.
It's somewhat difficult to see him going from believing in Santa to finding out why the Middle East hates the US. And that's just the tip of the tip of the iceberg.
This Episode is banned from VODs outside UA-cam etc. in Germany btw. Also at 20:34, That's where federated platforms like Mastodon step in. Kinda like twitter, but you can run you own instance at home and auth at others instances. follow, share, etc. no advertising algorythms, just people tooting. and it is open source, so nobody can fuck with the code you are running without you knowing (if you review the code you run yourself that is). no elon, no ads. just people expressing themselves :)
That is the issue with mastodon, Anon Musq has not have had the time to clean out yet. But he will send someone doing it whilst he himself is dealing with the disgusting remainders and waste of Suckingbirds Fratzenbuch empire. However, things are turning to the better and we all can watch it live.
Hey James ... you really wonder why we Germans know a meme saying: "This country found oil - the USA must bring them freedom/democracy!"? 🦅 _Armed Bald Eagle_ Remember how Volker Pispers already explained all that much more verbosely. Please search for images of a T-shirt back print named "USA Freedom Tour".
Ah, so you made your further research on German satire. The way you react is very interesting and honest. It would be interesting to see how different Germans react on German satire, too. I would guess, mainly precociously telling themselve "I know, why don't 'they' (anybody else) get it?" ... Like me now :-)
Oil ? Wait, lets have a look if the US government was a little bit concerned about its good old friend germany who made some business with russian gas. Did the US appreciate the building of North Stream 2? And then, in a good moment because of the ukraine war, before North Stream 2 was taken in service, north stream 1 was sabotated...we dont know who it was ..think about it and have a look at Seymour Hersh
Regarding 9/11: I've seen a report that highlighted the examination on that topic by a material scientist. He came to the conclusion that the steel of the planes melted in the heat of the fire and crawled it's way through the floor to the next one beneath. There the sprinkler systems were still running. And when molten aluminum drips into water the heat splits up the water molecules apart into hydrogen and oxygen. That mixture exploded. Always a major problem and major concern when handling molten aluminum, there are several accidents documented when that happened. Always a major catastrophe. Seems to me way more plausible than an inside job.
Nope. This explanation is Bullshit. If you wann See a building that went down like this, you can watch the earthquake in Mexiko City in the 80s. I think, that it was in the 80s, but it could be later. Ich kann das auf Englisch nicht erklären. Wenn ein Gebäude zusammenstürzt und Stockwerk auf Stockwerk fällt, dann ist die vertikale stahlkonstruktion zerstört, aber die horizontale Stahlkonstruktion nimmt nur wenig Schaden und müsste am Boden noch vorhanden sein. Das ganze verdammte Gebäude ist aber pulverisiert worden. Es steckt nicht genügend Energie in der mechanischen Energie, die das Gebäude aufgrund seiner Höhe aufbringen würde. Genauso wenig wäre in dem geschmolzene Aluminium genügend Energie vorhanden, um den gesamten Turm zu pulverisieren. Es gibt eine sehr schöne Analyse zum 11.September von einem deutschen Physiker, namens DR. Heinz Pommer. Die Idee, die er hat, klingt sehr plausibel. Auch wenn sie im ersten Moment etwas gewagt klingt.
@@marcelkamps7103 Unsinn, es geht nicht um die Energie des Aluminiums. Wasserstoffexplosion -- schon mal gehört? Eine solche hat das Stahlbetondach von Tschernobyl buchstäblich in die Luft gejagt, und dieselbe chemische Energie hat die Twin Towers zum Einsturz gebracht. Flüssiges Aluminium zersetzt Wasser chemisch in seine Bestandteile, und diese reagieren anschließend wieder per Knallgasexplosion wieder zu Wasser (weil ja noch genügend glühendes Zeugs von oben nachtropft), dafür gibt es mehr als genug dokumentierte Fälle. Hast du einen Link zur Analyse von Heinz Pommer?
@@Tiriondil Es gibt aber nur dann eine knallgasreaktion, wenn du eine unter Druck stehende Kammer hast, die sich füllt, wie in einem dichten Reaktor. Hier hat es aber keinen Überdruck gegeben und genügend Sauerstoff in der Umgebung, sodass sich kein Wasserstoff irgendwo anreichern kann und dann explodiert. Selbst wenn es eine solche Explosion gegeben hat, dann würde sie nur im Bereich des Einschlagslochs stattfinden. Das wäre bei weitem nicht genug, um den gesamten Turm zu pulverisieren. Die Idee mit dem Wasserstoff würde erklären, warum der obere Teil des Turms gebrochen ist und letztlich fällt. Sie erklärt aber nicht, warum der Rest des Turms ohne Widerstand nachgibt und am Ende nur Staub übrig bleibt.
@@marcelkamps7103 Nein, du brauchst keinen Druck dafür. Eine 5%ige Sättigung reicht dafür prinzipiell aus. Und trifft glühendes Aluminium auf Wasser (im Fall von 9/11 sogar weißglühend!), passiert noch eine zusätzliche Reaktion: Trifft Aluminiumschmelze auf Wasser, so wird die physikalische Explosion durch eine stark exotherme chemische Reaktion verstärkt: 2 Al + 3 H_2_O --> Al_2_O_3 + 3 H_2 Die Energiefreisetzung bei dieser Reaktion beträgt über 5 MJ/kg, sie wird durch einen Lichtblitz sichtbar.

This episode was amazing (yours, and the original anstalt episode, too), but I don't know if you know all the nouances there - I know I often miss quite a little in english and american comedy and my english isn't bad... So the most important thing you need to know is, german political comedy is mostly quite biased to the left and the german lefts are traditionally somewhat biased against the US. This doesn't mean they lie, but there, too, are infos left out. For example the coup in iran everything begun with, and you read it on wikipedia yourself, was not a US only thing. The British had biiiig part in it as well as did "the clergy", meaning islamic key figures within iran. Die Anstalt doesn't even mention one word of that. Still it did happen and the US had a major hand in it... What they also didn't mention (at least in this scene, I think they had it in another scene of the episode) is, that Germany ALSO supplied Irak with weapons components and substances Irak refined into Combat Gasses. Hussein later used those gasses not only against the Iran, but also against Kurds on his own territory resulting in tousands dead.
You didn't get the point. The whole point is that the US was supplying all of his enemies but antagonized them and essentially created their own problems with their meddling
Claus von Wagner and Max Uthoff from "Die Anstalt" literally explain in this short instalment more or less the same as Volker Pispers did in his "Histroy of Terrorism". Just a bit more compact.
That's all satyre - that does not mean there are wrong though. They're cracking a lot of good jokes, but when you want to laugh you realize that's some messed up shit and it's true so you start choking on it instead.
Everytime I watch "Die Anstalt" I always laugh, until I realize, all of that is true and I can't believe, that such things were really done. For this I like to pay my Rundfunkbeitrag.
Die Anstalt ist the most satiric and funny and sad, because its true! show we have. Some sence are on the index (forbidden). Sry for bad english, im German.
Hey Bray; Fun Fact: all of our new High Tech Military armored personnel carrier called "Puma (17.000.000€)" Doesnt work, lol. Send us some Bradleys pls!
Let me put it this way: America has troops and even nukes stationed in a variety of countries around the world, including Germany, where I happen to live. Would you feel comfortabel with having someone elses nukes in your backyard but not giving you full control over them? In the case of germany, we are even obliged to deliver the nukes to russia. Of course only with fighter bombers that are required to get licensed to to so. By the states, of course. In other words: we also have to buy the required jets form the US. That is a type of allie, one can only love (or get nuked by, e.g once some president like Trump has a bad day, or some general has a bad dream and reassigns Germany to the "axis of evil").
The CIA didn't "accidentally" release the information. Information most people in Europe already knew or suspected anyway, certainly the people of Iran (the historic Persia) did. So many decades had passed that the files had been declassified in compliance with laws about secret services.
I'm sure you won't see this but jic. The information freedom act states that all secret files have to be made public 50 years after they were created (paraphrasing) and second, we do "know" how the planes made it so far in. First, they were mostly just normal flights following their normal routes ftmp, up till like 20 minutes before they were supposed to land. Second, cause somebody in the Cia was wrong about how serious the threat was and essentially labeled it as a non issue.
9:37 It looks as if they let it happen on purpose. In 1999 I was in the German Army and got some insider information on bombing Serbia. This was about Oil also - Oil from the caspian basin (in this time the oil from the persian gulf was considered to last for about 70 years, if that's true then the oil from the caspian basin would last for a further 200 years) - and they wanted to get rid of russian influence on the balkan to have the option for a pipeline through the black see to the mediterean. Other options were a pipeline to the persian gulf and a pipeline to the indian sea. And my source said "And if you have a brief look on the map then you know, where the Americans will make war in the next years." The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq was planned in this time already and 9-1-1 was the trigger. And if Germany and others would have relieved the US in Iraq, there would have been war in Iran from about 2005 on...

Yeah because America doesn't want to tell anyone about the terrible things they've done. The great thing about Die Anstalt and lots of other German Satire is that they don't keep a secret. They'll happily talk about Germanys shortcomings and criticise politicians.
Germans tell each other facts and then laugh about it, because it's the truth that someone spoke out. that's basically german humor.
LIfe is a joke. Beware of people who are always smiling. They understand the pointe.
Nicht wirklich, das witzige daran ist eher die Art und Weise wie die absurden Fakten rüber gebracht werden, gepaart mit ein paar Memes.
Germans, if interested in History, are interested in History, not in German History. Every Countys History is connected to the History of the whole World, so if you want to understand the Past, the Present and the Future you have to abondon the thought of national History.

The saddest part is that Mossadek just wanted to "decollonize" the oil and gas companies in Iran.
Nothing would had hindered the US or Great Britain from buying that oil and gas from the open market.
So basically that didn't all happen because they couldn't get these resources, but because they now had to pay a fair price for it.
Sadly it's about the usual greed of world powers and western markets. Human life doesn't mean anything to them as long as they don't need to "waste" a single Dollar/Euro etc.
What I came for: German humor
What I got: US history class
(I'm not complaining!)
well, this was a very serious topic presented in a funny way. The question was: why is america seen as the bad guy in more and more countries? we're the good guys, leader of the free world and stuff. Why does nobody believe us any more when we tell em? 1) Well, you made a claim.
You have been weighed.
You have been measured.
And you have absolutely
Been found wanting.
Welcome to the New World. God save you, if it is right that He should do so.
2) Actions have consequences. Play stupid games...win stupid prizes. What we have seen in this clip is that America favors short term solutions for problems without ever thinking about the long term impact. This is like playing poker when the rest of the world is playing chess. and not just chess, 4d chess. This is called realpolitics. It's basically asking: what can we do to solve this problem RIGHT NOW? Who can we use? That is why america does not have any friends. let that one sink in. america may be germany's friend, but germany is not america's friend. they are just - more or less - temporary allies that can be used to further america's goals. does "Coalition of the willing" ring a bell?
3)history repeats itself. what happened with Mossadeq in Iran the us government tried to do again in venezuela. And again, it was all about the oil. And of course the power to dictate who the people can and cannot elect. the venezuelan people can't just elect a socialist president without us approval. the nerve, how dare they!

I guess thanks for the raisin bombers, but we all know you just didn’t want us to become commies and you wanted a nicely far away theatre for the war with the soviets.
And yes. We may be “friends” because quite often, our ideals align, but the apart from the most naive goody two shoes, I can’t imagine any person declaring real friendship with the US, when it’s international politics have always been the least refined, stupid, aggressive, openly careless, etc..
Now nothing against the people. But I personally and most others I know would consider the USA somewhat of a hypercapitalistic China, that only somewhat works as a “democracy”(that voting system) because it doesn’t have 1.4 billion people.
Sorry, but You’re writing Human Resources with a small h and an all caps “OIL”.
As you said. They were found lacking. But it doesn’t matter who I ask (politically speaking). Doesn’t matter if its a social democrat or or the christian union or even the Afd guys from my hometown…
All across the spectrum, be they radicalised or not I’ve seen people unite in their view of the USA as a country. Those who love the US tend to be radicalised idiots without their own opinion that tend to come back after living in the US for exactly as long as they don’t need to go to the hospital. Funnily enough: true story. Stories actually. And that within a 40 meter radius around my house…
When you ask them about the people in the US you get a lot of different opinions though.
Positive and negative. Of course you have to distinguish between country and people and most people kinda feel bad for the US citizens. But hey.
Find happiness wherever you want. I don’t care.
And I actually don’t really care in general.
But the insinuation that the USA is Germany’s friend beyond political banter and trade, culture and probably five million other more or less valid reasons is preposterous.
Yes we share commonalities.
No, our countries ideal’s don’t fit together at all.
Or rather they do, but the methodology of reaching these goals is so vastly different, that friends is an overstatement.

Dude, Murica and "Democracy"? You can only choose between 2 Parties. Where in the name of Herodot is that democracy?
and those two party is a right and a far right wing party .... there is nothing else
Well technically speaking the number of parties isn't inherently related to how democratic a country is.
@@witthyhumpleton3514 Maybe, but i think the problem is, that the American voting system doesn't really allow small parties to become bigger, so you'll be forever stuck with two parties, that a lot of people dont agree with. And of course, should one of the 2 parties ever become unpopular (for whatever reason), you have lost democracy.
Edit: That is in the current political system/voting system in America. I'm not saying a system with few parties can't be democratic.
@@Marcel-yu2fw Well I know what you mean, and I fundamentally agree with the criticism of the US political system and it's parties.
What I said however was meant in a different way, I am asking to disconnect, to some degree, the idea of parties from democracy in the first place.
Parties are nothing more than arbitrarily established groups of interests or values that try to represent a core philosophy, this happens with people in any situation, political or not.
You can have a system with 1 party that is very democratic, or a system with 12 parties that is highly undemocratic.
In the end what I care more about is the structure of how people can vote for their local representatives, how those representatives have power to interact with the government above them, how much of it is handled via direct democracy, representative democracy and random selection processes, how to keep money out of the system for campaigning.
These are much more important to wether a country has a functioning democracy or not, in my view, and consequently you could have a state with one party, or to put it in better terms, without a party at all, whereby people vote for representatives of local areas, the entire country or state, and random selection of eligible members of society who interact and counterbalance each other, and I would absolutely consider this a democracy, in fact, pretty utopian even, as it would take away from any party political polemic and populist nonsense to try and gain votes for a particular party.
In turn, you can easily imagine a country with many many poltitically motivated groups, funded by larger industries to represent their interests or lobby against others, a strange system of voting that elects leaders who then elect representatives who then vote on who decides who shall be voted into a council that then elects the head of state from a pre-selected list of candidates which is based on rules some arbitrary but complicated rotation for each party decideds, or perhaps another gremium votes on these which will be influenced by think tanks and so forth.
The former system sounds much closer to the average citizen and democratic, while the second is basically a farce to pretend the voters opinion matters.
I only point this out because I find that often times people think having political parties is a prerequisite to a functioning democracy, or has necessarily to do with being a democracy in the first place, forgetting that poltics and views can be expressed without the direct existence of political parties as well.
Yeah and we have 5 Partie and All make the same politics. So you have no choice.

Hey James you have to take into account that formats like "Die Anstalt" und die "Heute Show" are produced by public TV, not private channels. There are several more formats in the area of satyre produced and broadcasted on public channels, thats a european tradition, like more or less precise news in the news shows and not only opinions like on the american bradcasts (like Fox-News et altera) Adiitional there is a big educational problem in the US. Most of the highlighted parts are part of the subjects "Geschichte=History" "Gesellschaftskunde=Social Studies" and so on.
First the subjects are not reduced to the own backyard but worldwide, second a bit of critical selfreflection would be great for the us society.
Its always funny to see your reaction if something all the wolrd was hardly knowing since decades, is now revealed by opened files, and you americans can't still believe it. And believe me the the worst files wouldn't be revealed either it's just the top of an iceberg, and what can't be deneid anymore as everyone except the american public allready knows. It has to do with the priorities in the us society : NFL, NBA, NHA, NRA, WWC, WWF, Nascar,... there is no place for real life anymore (politics, econmy, ecology,...)
I don't think our public broadcast is unbiased. I think there is no difference in strength of bias between them and private braodcast. The difference is, that all of public broadcast has the same bias. I've also always said, that politicians control our news, just like James said.
@@timwatz2330 If they are neutral, than I'm a dolphin. They broadcast enough scientific unproven or questionable content without any form of critique. I absolutely agree with you.
German society is not that different. Most people here are superficial too. The topics discussed or portrayed by Die Anstalt are topics that should be broadcasted on the news and not just at the late evening when most people lie in bed. Where are the critical news we need to a time where most people can watch them? I saw a video of FUNK about gender ideology, that is scientifically questionable at best without them giving any critiques about that topic.

America has stuff like that too, but a way softer- it seems.
Anyways, my family kinda liked it because it is so brutally open and the humor dark and dry. I was surprised that they agreed also a lot to the things that were said in these shows from Germany.

The main reason, why American politicians did all of this, Die Anstalt missed. Either because they don't want you to know or because it's so obscure, they didn't think about it. Ever since America got rid of the gold standard, the Dollar's value has been entirely based on the oil trade in the middle east. This is because to keep the american economy and the Dollar powerful in the rest of the world, The American Government instated, that every barrel of oil in the middle east, has to be bought using the Dollar. This is so that all other countries, who want to buy oil from that region, first have to buy $Dollars$ from the U.S. of A. , wich allows America, to pay their debt with U.S. bonds, keeping up the Dollars value and the U.S. Government in power. This is called the "Petrodollar".
Whoever tries to trade oil without the Dollar, will find themselves living a shorter life than expected.
USA is doing this, so you can live in a "thriving" economy, that is built on debt. All of this is because America's economy is less productive, than the market it consumes.
so the main reason is oil?
@@itsmyboardwhotalk If you want an oversimplified explanation, that lacks all of th information necessary to understand why America has to wage war in the middle east, yes it is because of oil, but more importantly it is about the value of the Dollar.
@@timwatz2330the (monetary) value of something is an integral part of itself. the petrodollar is a consequence out of the fact that oil exits.
so if they say its because of the oil they are right, because without oil it would have been different.
the petrodollar and the consens of washington or already maddisons plans are political strategies in interplay with the dominant ideology (capitalism and liberalism (referring to the scientific term liberalism and not to the american term)).
so your structure is wrong ;) and thats why they didnt talk about it in this special version of the show about it, but they discuss it on many other subjects in fact thats maybe the subject they talk the most about. wagner (the guy with the dark hair) started his career with it.
@@itsmyboardwhotalk No, my structure isn't wrong. The driving reason behind the interventions is the value of the Dollar, not the price of oil. But I think that such discussion is not very relevant because it's really just semantics.
I just wanted to provide additional context, so that people can better understand the reason why American politicians are so interested in oil from foreign countries, when they've got all the oil they need at home, because it certainly did not make sense to me, before I learned about the petrodollar.
@@timwatz2330 yeah I got that :)
but as I said they talk about this in almost every single show, and specially klaus von wagner started his career with this subject and made great satirical shows about it. the reason why they do not talk here about it is because they follow the main structure of the literature.

Since the gold standard was lifted, the value of the dollar greatly depends on it being used to trade oil. So whenever somone thinks about trading oil for something other than dollar, thats a threat to americas economy.
sorry, although I am a native English speaker (bilingual German/English), I have problems understanding your comments. How about taking some lessons in Englsh pronunciation? The "innerneg" e.g.? What I did understand was that in the US everything is about money - monetary profit for people that are already rich - that's more than obvious. Die Anstalt is really great! The US is portraid exactly how it is. I know, I have worked for the Army here in Germany and know how these military people tend to think. Seems as if the US governments, no matter if democrats or republicans, like meddling in wars, sorry to say. They argue that they want to spread democracy although the US voting system is everything other than democratic. BTW German TV is not dependent on any kind of commercials.
James, you reacted to Volker Pispers. Ths is just a rerun of the same story.
And, no, it's not politics of the US to make everyone like the US, it is about making other countries oppose each other to serve american interests. This is a simplifiction, though.
Hey James, the Canadian law was about local culture and language, not opinions/freedom of speech. But it's of course still pretty ridiculous. Basically imagine you are a content creator in New Orleans and you have to cover Jazz or local food just because you live here, even if you usually talk about let's say chemistry.
This of course raises the question what counts as Canadian culture, and which creators are large enough for the rule to apply. And it doesn't make sense on a global platform like UA-cam. If you are Swedish and want to talk about Florida or Floridian talking about Sweden you can do that.
Germany solved the issue of not having enough of certain types of content in German by simply sponsoring a bunch of channels to make it instead of bothering creators who don't care.
In 1913 Canada banned all languages but English and French. The USA followed in 1917-18. The Soviets under Lenin did the same in Russia, banning dozends of languages making everyone speak one language and bow to one flag... like in Canada and the USA.

There was a huge painting in a gold frame of some guy with amoustache in a uniform on the wall and when I asked the boss who that guy was he proudly said it was Saddam Hussein, his president.
Then there were showcases with glass tops and it were some cnc machined metal parts.
Conclusion: They were all arrested, because these were parts for rockets.
9/11 Inside Job? No, it seems it was just department jurisdictions, vanity and incompetence. Shooting down passenger planes isn't really something we do casually, just because they go off course. (Heck, even the Russians in the cold war let a private plane land on the red square instead of shooting it down). Especially since the more common terrorist approach was to hijack planes for hostage purposes, giving weight to their demands and proclamations.
In Germany, there was actually a debate about an air safety guideline ( § 14 Abs. 3 LuftSiG) that would allow the miltary to shoot down civil planes. The Constitutional Court ruled it unconstitutional to make a law allowing to kill plane passengers in exchange for potential victims on the ground. It dehumanizes and violates their constitutional guarantee to be treated with dignity. This guarantee exists independent on how long they might still have to live.
I don't know about the exact US laws, but I strongly suspect that any officer having to decide whether to kill civilians would want to make sure he's doing the right thing - quite possibly longer than it did take. Especially since that was basically the first time in US history and US soil. And so far, the only time...

Calling 9/11 unprovoked after CIA financing of terrorism and murder is also off.

Canadian government tells UA-cam what channels they are allowed to monetize.
Nope, that does not sound very believable
I also would like to see the source for this.
World War II was the first war in which oil as a resource could be decisive for/against loosing the war. For this reason since then, the United States has been looking for oil wells all over the world or has gained access to oil by more or less reasonable means. The oil wells on the territory of the NATO countries are far too small to supply NATO with enough oil. Ironically, the USSR never had this exact problem.
About this Canadian bill (afaik know it's not law yet): They already have (very old) legislation in place that says a certain percentage of what you see on TV must show actual Canadian footage. This was intended to make sure Canada stays independent and preserves its cultural identity and isn't overrun by foreign media. What they now want to do is expand this legislation to the internet. In my opinion that's bullshit because the internet is by definition a global thing and there is no exclusively Canadian corner of the internet. But it would mean that especially streaming services like Netflix and also UA-cam would have to ensure that a Canadian user gets shown a certain percentage of Canadian content. They want to put the responsibility for this on the individual content creators and not the platform. So let's say an artist would have to film a percentage of their music videos in Canada to be able to show their stuff to Canadian viewers. At first they wanted it to also apply to small content creators but have since changed it to only apply to corporations.

9:50 No, was not an inside job - too many people would be in on it to keep it as a secret. But the adminstration from Bush actually just reacted slower and it was totally something new. I remember flying before and after and also the new created hysteria about it. So in fact it was a lucky shot by Al Quaida and they never repeated it in that magnitude. But for the Taliban to actually win the war after 20 years - that is a boost into islamic morale more than a single terroristic act.

I wouldn't call em the villain, but they deff are not the good guy either. I'm not so sure what they are exactly, Darth Vader or Palpatine. Germany however is Grand Moff Tarkin, that's for sure.
🤔 Interesting question. You can’t “force” others to adopt another view on what never might have been their priorities unless it be a threat to lots of others. But that could be solely a political decision based on greed. That would just be risking too many lives.
It's somewhat difficult to see him going from believing in Santa to finding out why the Middle East hates the US.
And that's just the tip of the tip of the iceberg.
This Episode is banned from VODs outside UA-cam etc. in Germany btw.
Also at 20:34, That's where federated platforms like Mastodon step in. Kinda like twitter, but you can run you own instance at home and auth at others instances. follow, share, etc. no advertising algorythms, just people tooting. and it is open source, so nobody can fuck with the code you are running without you knowing (if you review the code you run yourself that is). no elon, no ads. just people expressing themselves :)
That is the issue with mastodon, Anon Musq has not have had the time to clean out yet. But he will send someone doing it whilst he himself is dealing with the disgusting remainders and waste of Suckingbirds Fratzenbuch empire.
However, things are turning to the better and we all can watch it live.
Hey James ... you really wonder why we Germans know a meme saying: "This country found oil - the USA must bring them freedom/democracy!"? 🦅 _Armed Bald Eagle_
Remember how Volker Pispers already explained all that much more verbosely.
Please search for images of a T-shirt back print named "USA Freedom Tour".
Ah, so you made your further research on German satire. The way you react is very interesting and honest. It would be interesting to see how different Germans react on German satire, too. I would guess, mainly precociously telling themselve "I know, why don't 'they' (anybody else) get it?" ... Like me now :-)
Oil ? Wait, lets have a look if the US government was a little bit concerned about its good old friend germany who made some business with russian gas. Did the US appreciate the building of North Stream 2? And then, in a good moment because of the ukraine war, before North Stream 2 was taken in service, north stream 1 was sabotated...we dont know who it was ..think about it and have a look at Seymour Hersh
Something similar to that happened to Libya. Including the embargo.
"America is the Homelander of the world" love it, so on point, totally gonna use that going forward
As a American you should know, that they have to open the papers after a periode of time according to your law.
35:03 did you ignore or didnt catch the the US sponsored AL QAIDA
they talk the same issue that volker Pispers did , that you have watched already
a bit simplified and focused on iran/iraq/afghanistan but yeah, they do
Look for Daniele Ganser to see more about your America, He write a Book "Imperium USA "
Regarding 9/11: I've seen a report that highlighted the examination on that topic by a material scientist. He came to the conclusion that the steel of the planes melted in the heat of the fire and crawled it's way through the floor to the next one beneath. There the sprinkler systems were still running. And when molten aluminum drips into water the heat splits up the water molecules apart into hydrogen and oxygen. That mixture exploded. Always a major problem and major concern when handling molten aluminum, there are several accidents documented when that happened. Always a major catastrophe. Seems to me way more plausible than an inside job.
Nope. This explanation is Bullshit. If you wann See a building that went down like this, you can watch the earthquake in Mexiko City in the 80s. I think, that it was in the 80s, but it could be later.
Ich kann das auf Englisch nicht erklären. Wenn ein Gebäude zusammenstürzt und Stockwerk auf Stockwerk fällt, dann ist die vertikale stahlkonstruktion zerstört, aber die horizontale Stahlkonstruktion nimmt nur wenig Schaden und müsste am Boden noch vorhanden sein. Das ganze verdammte Gebäude ist aber pulverisiert worden. Es steckt nicht genügend Energie in der mechanischen Energie, die das Gebäude aufgrund seiner Höhe aufbringen würde. Genauso wenig wäre in dem geschmolzene Aluminium genügend Energie vorhanden, um den gesamten Turm zu pulverisieren.
Es gibt eine sehr schöne Analyse zum 11.September von einem deutschen Physiker, namens DR. Heinz Pommer.
Die Idee, die er hat, klingt sehr plausibel. Auch wenn sie im ersten Moment etwas gewagt klingt.
@@marcelkamps7103 Unsinn, es geht nicht um die Energie des Aluminiums. Wasserstoffexplosion -- schon mal gehört? Eine solche hat das Stahlbetondach von Tschernobyl buchstäblich in die Luft gejagt, und dieselbe chemische Energie hat die Twin Towers zum Einsturz gebracht. Flüssiges Aluminium zersetzt Wasser chemisch in seine Bestandteile, und diese reagieren anschließend wieder per Knallgasexplosion wieder zu Wasser (weil ja noch genügend glühendes Zeugs von oben nachtropft), dafür gibt es mehr als genug dokumentierte Fälle. Hast du einen Link zur Analyse von Heinz Pommer?
@@Tiriondil Es gibt aber nur dann eine knallgasreaktion, wenn du eine unter Druck stehende Kammer hast, die sich füllt, wie in einem dichten Reaktor.
Hier hat es aber keinen Überdruck gegeben und genügend Sauerstoff in der Umgebung, sodass sich kein Wasserstoff irgendwo anreichern kann und dann explodiert.
Selbst wenn es eine solche Explosion gegeben hat, dann würde sie nur im Bereich des Einschlagslochs stattfinden. Das wäre bei weitem nicht genug, um den gesamten Turm zu pulverisieren.
Die Idee mit dem Wasserstoff würde erklären, warum der obere Teil des Turms gebrochen ist und letztlich fällt. Sie erklärt aber nicht, warum der Rest des Turms ohne Widerstand nachgibt und am Ende nur Staub übrig bleibt.
@@Tiriondil ua-cam.com/video/WDuwNdzrSG0/v-deo.html
Gucken ob das nicht gelöscht wird.
@@marcelkamps7103 Nein, du brauchst keinen Druck dafür. Eine 5%ige Sättigung reicht dafür prinzipiell aus. Und trifft glühendes Aluminium auf Wasser (im Fall von 9/11 sogar weißglühend!), passiert noch eine zusätzliche Reaktion:
Trifft Aluminiumschmelze auf Wasser, so wird die physikalische Explosion durch eine stark exotherme chemische Reaktion verstärkt: 2 Al + 3 H_2_O --> Al_2_O_3 + 3 H_2
Die Energiefreisetzung bei dieser Reaktion beträgt über 5 MJ/kg, sie wird durch einen Lichtblitz sichtbar.

James,
you are great.
This episode was amazing (yours, and the original anstalt episode, too), but I don't know if you know all the nouances there - I know I often miss quite a little in english and american comedy and my english isn't bad...
So the most important thing you need to know is, german political comedy is mostly quite biased to the left and the german lefts are traditionally somewhat biased against the US.
This doesn't mean they lie, but there, too, are infos left out. For example the coup in iran everything begun with, and you read it on wikipedia yourself, was not a US only thing.
The British had biiiig part in it as well as did "the clergy", meaning islamic key figures within iran.
Die Anstalt doesn't even mention one word of that.
Still it did happen and the US had a major hand in it...
What they also didn't mention (at least in this scene, I think they had it in another scene of the episode) is, that Germany ALSO supplied Irak with weapons components and substances Irak refined into Combat Gasses. Hussein later used those gasses not only against the Iran, but also against Kurds on his own territory resulting in tousands dead.
One interesting thing to google in connection to this whole story is "Operation Ajax"
You didn't get the point. The whole point is that the US was supplying all of his enemies but antagonized them and essentially created their own problems with their meddling
Claus von Wagner and Max Uthoff from "Die Anstalt" literally explain in this short instalment more or less the same as Volker Pispers did in his "Histroy of Terrorism". Just a bit more compact.
Well, USA is not a solid Block. But, you have the aircraft carrier and some more toys like...
That's all satyre - that does not mean there are wrong though.
They're cracking a lot of good jokes, but when you want to laugh you realize that's some messed up shit and it's true so you start choking on it instead.
Everytime I watch "Die Anstalt" I always laugh, until I realize, all of that is true and I can't believe, that such things were really done.
For this I like to pay my Rundfunkbeitrag.
9:20 people reported hearing series of explosions before the towers went down pointing to a controlled demolition
"DIe ANstalt" is one REALLY well done educational satirical show.
Did you watch the blade-movies?
"You're human?"
"Barely, I'm a lawyer."
Die Anstalt ist the most satiric and funny and sad, because its true! show we have. Some sence are on the index (forbidden). Sry for bad english, im German.
Passt
13:00 I see the US as the Eric Cartman of the world
Hey Bray; Fun Fact: all of our new High Tech Military armored personnel carrier called "Puma (17.000.000€)" Doesnt work, lol. Send us some Bradleys pls!
5:00 If you get hit by a bus the same thing happens if you are religeous or not. The peolpe that loved us will miss us, nothing more nothing less.
Let me put it this way: America has troops and even nukes stationed in a variety of countries around the world, including Germany, where I happen to live.
Would you feel comfortabel with having someone elses nukes in your backyard but not giving you full control over them?
In the case of germany, we are even obliged to deliver the nukes to russia. Of course only with fighter bombers that are required to get licensed to to so. By the states, of course. In other words: we also have to buy the required jets form the US. That is a type of allie, one can only love (or get nuked by, e.g once some president like Trump has a bad day, or some general has a bad dream and reassigns Germany to the "axis of evil").
it was ( among others) about providing the british fleet with cheep and enough oil.
But- suddenly Chevron had their ressources too....
The CIA didn't "accidentally" release the information. Information most people in Europe already knew or suspected anyway, certainly the people of Iran (the historic Persia) did. So many decades had passed that the files had been declassified in compliance with laws about secret services.
I'm sure you won't see this but jic. The information freedom act states that all secret files have to be made public 50 years after they were created (paraphrasing) and second, we do "know" how the planes made it so far in. First, they were mostly just normal flights following their normal routes ftmp, up till like 20 minutes before they were supposed to land. Second, cause somebody in the Cia was wrong about how serious the threat was and essentially labeled it as a non issue.
First 2 Airplanes i woud say woundt but the one ine the Pentagon wich destroyed data they were forced to open just 2 weeks later mhmhmhhmhm
Those old episodes are genious. Unthinkable nowadays
Gee… so wie are enemies since everybody „craves“ oil. 😂
Dude.... this video will never finish ^^
9:37 It looks as if they let it happen on purpose. In 1999 I was in the German Army and got some insider information on bombing Serbia. This was about Oil also - Oil from the caspian basin (in this time the oil from the persian gulf was considered to last for about 70 years, if that's true then the oil from the caspian basin would last for a further 200 years) - and they wanted to get rid of russian influence on the balkan to have the option for a pipeline through the black see to the mediterean. Other options were a pipeline to the persian gulf and a pipeline to the indian sea. And my source said "And if you have a brief look on the map then you know, where the Americans will make war in the next years." The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq was planned in this time already and 9-1-1 was the trigger. And if Germany and others would have relieved the US in Iraq, there would have been war in Iran from about 2005 on...
Hey brother been enjoying your videos, thanks! Can you please post the link to the video you are reacting to? Id like to save these
The maximum money give it, your delivered both sides.
The US have their problems, but the support for the Ukraine is impressive! 👍
You think this whole Ukraine story is so much different to what you just saw? Or is it just my irony detector that's broken? 🙃
Ukraine is not oil but black earth. Again it's the same reason
"western values" in this is always oil , they say it sarcasticly xD
so when they say "tehy have western values" they mean .. they have oil !!!
it is nearly common knowlegde in Germany - see what you ve done in Latin and South America...
Yes, Chile for example.
