| Angela Merkel in the DDR |
Angie was 35 when the Berlin Wall fell. She grew up in Communist East Germany, was member of the Communist Party’s youth group the Free German Youth (FDJ, from the German initials), graduated from Karl-Marx University in Leipzig, and worked as a physicist in East Germany. She was 35 when the wall fell. I’ve wondered if her outlook may have some basis in growing up in the Warsaw Pact. Old Hickory’s Weblog
Today I thought I’d write you about this dream I had on the lines of “The Manchurian Candidate”…
(Distant Trombone – Dissolve)
Just before the fall of the Iron Curtain, Markus Wolf, the great, East German, spymaster, the one who ruined Willy Brandt, the model of John Le Carré’s, “Karla”, who upon seeing his system and his life’s work falling apart, in order to take revenge, created the “Doomsday Weapon”, a deadly mole, a fatal poison, that he infiltrated from the dying DDR into the heart of the West German political apparatus in order to destroy the entire capitalist system… The mole’s name…. Angela Merkel.…
At first I thought it was a joke, but now I’m not sure…

Mr. Seaton, Please…..you provide a link to Markus Wolf and that link contradicts your assertion “the model of John Le Carré’s, “Karla”,” ; From the link: “However, the writer (LeCarre) has repeatedly denied this, and did so once again when interviewed on the occasion of Wolf’s death.[8]
And “Another le Carré character, who in fact comes even closer than Karla, is Fiedler in The Spy Who Came In From The Cold. He is depicted as a German Jew who spent World War II in exile and came back to gain a senior position in East Germany’s Intelligence Service.”
It’s why dreams are to be seen as the minds method of amusing itself during periods of non-rationality.
Karla’s character was far too close to that of Wolf’s for most persons to readily accept Le Carré’s denials.
Hey, I used to wonder if Dick Cheney was actually in the pay of the PRC, myself.
Conspiracy think away. Heaven forbid that an author knows of what he has written.
