Description
Diese Unterführung - der GLEIMTUNNEL - verbindet Ost und Westberlin. Den Bezirk Prenzlauer Berg mit dem Bezirk Wedding. Diese Unterführung habe ich extra als Negativ hochgeladen weil dieser Teil von Berlin auch negativ vorbelastet ist. Oben auf der Brücke sind die Grenzsoldaten der DDR mit Autos die Grenze abgefahren und mit Hunden abgelaufen. Sie war ein Teil des Todesstreifen der Berliner Mauer.
Das Bild ist aus meinem Album : Wege
==============================================================
This underpass - the GLEIM TUNNEL - connects East and West Berlin. The Prenzlauer Berg district with the district of Wedding. This underpass I have uploaded specially as negative because this part of Berlin is also biased negatively. Up on the bridge, the East German border guards are the border with dogs expired and with cars departed. She was part of the death strip of the Berlin Wall.
The image is from my album: Ways

I have just been watching a doco called 'A Wall In Berlin'. Fascinating.

without never experiencing the wall, it is not easy to realize how imposing it was to the people. I often thought about the wall back when it was a reality very poetic capture

An excellent work. Also an excellent reminder of what can again happen at the whim of Russia and the United States, and/or of the U.N., an organization who in their efforts to establish a "New World Order"--a warm, fuzzy, and IMAGINARY place for all to live in "peace and harmony"--the closest reality, not quite so pretty as the one they wish to dupe the world into believing is possible, is only able to be accomplished by a global, totalitarian politico-economic system such as those of the former U.S.S.R. or the present Chinese and North Korean governments. Two days ago I spoke to a young man from Bulgaria in his late twenties or early thirties here, just outside of Washington, D.C. who, when I mentioned the "old Eastern bloc" countries and the Confederation of Independent States--their current euphemistic appellation--he gave me a blank stare and told me he knew nothing of these "things", I was taken completely by surprise and was quite disturbed that this was true. Apparently, thanks possibly to the U.N.'s "Global Education Standards" and "Global Teaching Standards", the subject of "History" in today's educational curriculum has been very much "altered", to put it politely--apparently not to include such subjects as "The Iron Curtain", Marxism, and Communism--totalitarian rule of a disarmed population; a government in which whose people are the SLAVES of that government--"SUBJECTS" instead of "CITIZENS--with NO "inalienable rights" guaranteed by a living and irrefutable CONSTITUTION, and no government "OF the People, BY the People, and most importantly NOT FOR the People, something once true here in the U.S.--BUT NOW NO MORE. To those U.S. "citizens" who would refute the reality of this current state of the Nation, I would say to them "Wake up and see your NEW REALITY." This great Country, once a Republic, and made sound by the laws put forth in its CONSTITUTION, is being destroyed from within--the only way it could be--by precedent law, and UNJUST AND ARBITRARY laws made by UNJUST men, certainly NOT with the best interests of the populace in mind, but only the advancement of the lawmakers' own political agendas, not to mention the padding of their own pocketbooks--and is following in the wake of the demise of the Greek and Roman Empires to name but two. With the death of the Nation once known as "The United States of America", the last bastion of true freedom on this planet, dies the hope of Freedom of all the Peoples of the world. Julisonne has photographed and communicated a reminder of the past, and what is soon to become reality once more as soon as the people of the world--mainly in America--are stripped of their ability to fight back against oppressive government; that is, by attempting to usurp their private ownership of firearms, in America by the repeal of the Second Amendment to the U.S. CONSTITUTION--the only thing that guarantees the maintenance of the rest of its Amendments, those giving its People, once CITIZENS but currently and rapidly becoming SUBJECTS, and ultimately SLAVES to a global totalitarian government their "inalienable rights"; the same fate which will befall the rest of the people reading this, if indeed Renderosity allows what i have written to be published. I wish all the Peoples of this planet luck-you're all going to need it. Remember this quote from Mao Tse Tung: "Power comes at the point of a gun." Especially you who live in countries that have already taken away your right to own a weapon, take note of this sad fact: When a People loses the ability to keep their government in check, by force if necessary, they lose any "freedom" they may have had at one time. One last but sobering thought: Don't you think it rather odd that the gun prohibition mandated in both Australia and Great Britain both came after the massacres of innocent school children? I believe the recent school shooting in Connecticut in the United States was a ploy at achieving the same result. "That couldn't possibly be!", you say? "No one could be so cold and heartless as to plan such a heinous, despicable, and EVIL crime!" Well, ladies and gentlemen, I beg to differ. Think about it: Do you REALLY think that these occurrences are coincidence? Don't insult your intelligence. There are, as is evidenced EVERY DAY around the world, people who have absolutely NO regard for human life be it man, woman, or child. In fact, the reality is that some actually ENJOY killing, and the gender, age, race, or color of their victims makes not one bit of difference in their enjoyment of their bizarre, perverted, and evil "hobby"--yes, "hobby", ladies and gentlemen. Don't deceive yourselves: people like this exist everywhere on the face of this Earth. And some of them are even heads of states. Remember Idi Amin? Or Pol Pot? I hope so. If not, look them up on the Internet. Yes, I believe these were all planned by people just like that--as they discussed it calmly, possibly with a drink in hand in rather opulent surroundings--certainly not by the individuals who committed the crimes themselves--in what is known here in the States as "GUN FREE ZONES"--areas where shooting anyone, including innocent young children is like shooting fish in a barrel. You see, criminals and other evildoers--some of them the lawmakers themselves-- simply laugh at laws--and at the people who follow them. It is only the law-abiding individuals who follow them. And it is these people the government seeks out to confiscate their firearms, thereby eliminating threats to themselves, and eliminating resistance and opposition to their goals. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. But then, I am a law-abiding person, and not a power-hungry politician. I truly seek peace with my fellow man. To me life is sacred. Does it make sense to you...?
