(The body of the Hessian finance minister was so badly mutilated on the tracks, that there was difficulty identifying the body)
We are currently experiencing what is perhaps the greatest crisis since the foundation of Federal Republic of Germany. The events are coming thick and fast, and emergency laws are being passed to mitigate the consequences of the pandemic for our economy.
Among the many news reports, one particularly shocked me: Yesterday Thomas Schäfer took his own life.
The Hessian Finance Minister was known for being a man of action. He was regarded as level-headed and reliable. He was an experienced politician who took his responsibilities very seriously. Now, in the Corona crisis, Thomas Schäfer played a central role in the state government as a crisis manager.
This man has now taken his own life.
In a farewell letter he explained the reasons for his suicide. He was desperate and saw no way out. He could no longer bear the current situation in Germany. The concern that he would not be able to meet the expectations of the population had crushed him, reported Prime Minister Bouffier. (1)
What’s happening? Never before in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany has a minister ended his life because he cannot bear the responsibility. That shows how dramatic the situation is.
Thomas Schäfer leaves behind a wife and two children who now have to cope with this terrible loss. My deepest sympathy goes to them.
We must look ahead and tackle the problems. That is why I have added a small quote from the “Glass Bead Game” by Hermann Hesse to this funeral announcement. Let us use the crisis to rise above ourselves.
God doesn’t send desperation to kill us. He sends it to bring new life into us.
echoes of the WWII suicide of a Jewish leader when asked to turn over the list of orphans in Warsaw.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Czerniaków Realizing that deportation meant death, Czerniaków went to plead for the orphans. When he failed, he returned to his office at 26/28 Grzybowska Street and killed himself by taking a cyanide capsule. He left a suicide note to his wife, reading “They demand me to kill children of my nation with my own hands. I have nothing to do but to die,” and one to his fellow members of the Council, explaining: “I can no longer bear all this.
I dont buy it that this minister commited suicide! Nobody even mentions this possibility, thats how apathic the population is.
He is killed in the old fashion secret service way with a note next to him for example.
Killed because he didnt comply!
The merkelscum and all the rest of this sorospuppets brought that virus over us.
Its their last evil trick because they are on the loosing end!
Hope when the people find out they all WILL BE HANGED PUBLICLY!!
