What is going on?
What always goes on... what has been going on with Lockheed for the F-104, and so many other things... large corporate political corruption. Don't you know the saying that it's easier to get a hungry dog past a butcher shop than a socialist politician past a stack of money? That is exactly what has been going on in Munich.
Microsoft made it's new European headquarters for this and that near Munich, gave the new socialist major the time of his life, and financed a really good looking professional report by accenture for the mayor to throw linux out without needing much further explanations. And who doesn't trust Accenture right, the jolly consulting company that was once one of the "big 5" under the name Andersen Consulting, but then had some serious problems when it turned out they were criminal as fuck, and they changed their name in Accenture and moved their "business focus" from the financial market and accountancy services to IT and HRM services, without really changing anything. But Andersen, known for the Enron scandal, convicted of fraud and obstruction of justice, succeeded in pushing the right knobs so that the Supreme Court reversed the conviction, and this is known as one of the funniest decisions the Supreme Court has ever made, reading that decision is like reading a comedy script.
So that very accenture made a Microsoft-sponsored study and dismissed the Munich Linux project so that the bribed politicians could have an alibi that looks believable.
Another serious problem is the German company SAP, one of the biggest companies in Germany, and developers and vendors of the well known instruments of job decimation and globalist oppression. They have been selling the same old crap over and over again. Big companies like SAP not because of the software, which sucks like you can't believe, but for the Accenture-effect... it allows big globalist companies to analyse what jobs to cut where, how to suck their workforce dry, and where to run for maximum lawlessness and exploitability. Well, SAP hasn't been doing so great. That is a structural problem, because once all the globalist creeps have their SAP, there are only going to be less of them needing to spend less money in order to earn more money, that's just the nature of ultra-capitalism. And SAP really needs a boost, and the problem is that they don't have the best developers, they are closed source and they don't have any products that run on Linux because they don't have the skills for that. So SAP, which is of course a popular cheerleader in the globalist team, has been pushing to move away from Linux for a very long time, pointing out the enormous benefits of saving on people versus saving on software licenses. As soon as the news came out that the mayor of Munich rejects any option that is based upon Linux, SAP published that they considerably raise their dividend.
And yes folks, now we've come to the bottom line: yet again, socialist politician wants to save on people instead of on software licenses and corrupt hardware deals. And why: because a socialist is cheaper to buy than a back alley prostitute, there are just more prostitutes in a socialist outfit to buy a blowjob from than hookers in a red light district.
The only thing Munich did wrong in those 15 years of Linux, is to be too ambitious by thinking they could make their own distro and maintain and service it with a small team. They should have gone for an OpenSuSE approach with independent service providers. The only other thing Munich did wrong, is have professional politicians, but yeah, that's what everybody does wrong, innit?
The CEO of KDE has offered Munich a complete solution, that would not cost at least 96 MILLION EUROS (which is the first reliable estimation of what it costs to migrate from Linux to Windows). But just like Lockheed preferred to pay 22 Million bucks to various German politicians to sell the F-104's that were so crappy that over 200 F-104's accidentally crashed killing over 110 German pilots, and forcing the Germany Luftwaffe to buy parallel airplane models just to have something that works in case of an actual military mission, leading to incredibly high extra costs, also this Munich software corruption deal will have a backlash in the end:
Lockheed came on the black list outside of the US (where the F-104 never made it, the US Navy and Airforce preferred designs based on Nazi scientist research, like for instance Alexander Lippisch etc, which were actually viable for pilots and actual combat duty), and Lockheed had to pull off their bribery tricks on a heavily reduced market (US, Canada, Australia, some other countries, most of then having cancelled their orders by now) for their next technical failure of an airplane, the F-35.
Lockheed over the years lost most of its civil aircraft market, most of its military aircraft market, and had to pull a rabbit out of a hat to sell the nonsensical F-35, which it could in a period of detente where the Eastern Block had fell and Russia had become capitalist. But now that tensions are building up again and there in actual threat of military intervention that couldn't be solved with the good old surplus F-4F's from the Vietnam war any more, there is a serious problem, and Trump needs to sell the tax payers on the idea of increasing the defence budget, because quite frankly, those ageing F-16's are the only thing the US has left that is a combat worthy airframe.
The very same thing will happen to Munich when the true consequences of the corruption that is taking place now become clear in the future.
Munich is not without problems. It is a city with a lot of expensive flair, made big with the money from an economy that boomed around the Quandt empire. Well, Johanna Quandt died in 2015 and it's not looking too good for the German auto industry, with Mercedes barely selling anything in Germany any more because stupid cars, BMW not doing great with the electric cars, VW group caught up in a money grabbing scheme they thought they could get away with at the expense of quality of cars and at the expense of the consumers, etc... which means that Munich is really starting to feel that they are not on top of the food chain in Germany any more. The focus of the German economy is shifting slowly, shifting to the North. Just like NRW was once the chicken with the golden eggs in Germany, and then everything broke together, that is starting to happen now to Bavaria. The former capital of West-Germany, Bonn, just south of Cologne, is now a sad story, it's basically a 75% Arabic enclave with the German CIA headquarters in the middle of it lol. All the former prestigious office buildings are vacant or dilapidated, German people have moved away, popular cultural events like rock festivals have been cancelled forever, the city center at night looks like Beirut. Negative consequences of political decisions can spread really fast. When that happens, in the wake thereof, there is always a panicky money-grabbing response from politicians, they want to grab everything they can while it's still there, regardless of consequences, and thereby, instead of stopping the decline, they accelerate it. That is what is happening in Munich, that is why the rich are moving away from Munich, that is why so many problematic elements are allowed to walk around freely in Munich... it's a typical socialist money-grabbing arena, and the population is going to pay a very dear price for it.
And just like Microsoft is making the software for the drugs traffickers in the US, the new fascinating market, they are preying on the weakened City of Munich, and have pushed the right buttons. Guess we'll know in 30 years or so how much money was shoved to whom under which table, and what the ultimate extent of the total damage was.
