OLD AND BUSTED: Is Paris Burning?

The New Hotness? Is Bavaria Burning? Suspect arrested over fire at Hitler’s ‘Eagle’s Nest’ retreat in Bavaria.

Police have arrested a 33-year-old German citizen after a fire ripped through Adolf Hitler’s former mountain retreat in Bavaria, leaving the historic Nazi meeting place – known as the Eagle’s Nest – largely destroyed.

About 200 firefighters were deployed on Friday night to tackle the blaze at the Nazi dictator’s remote, purpose-built Kehlsteinhaus residence, a protected building on the peak of Obersalzberg in southern Germany.

Flames rose high into the air as firefighters approached the scene to find the building “completely ablaze”, police said, adding that nobody was injured in the fire.

Lisa Maier, a police spokesperson, said firefighters struggled to tackle the blaze due to its location at an altitude of 1,834 metres (6,000ft).

The building, which was one of the few undamaged monuments of the Hitler era, was only accessible with “heavy breathing apparatus”, she said.

Built by the Nazis and formally inaugurated by Hitler on his birthday in 1939, the Eagle’s Nest has been preserved as a monument to “the insanity of the regime”, according to its website.

As Dan McLaughlin tweets, “A shame to lose a beautiful & important part of history, but obviously, if you’re going to lose the home of a major historical figure to vandals, Hitler’s is…not exactly the most important one to preserve.”

EVERYTOWN SHOULD CHOKE ON ITS OWN PROPAGANDA: ‘I’m Sorry, Dave, I’m Afraid I Can’t Give You The Gun-Related Information You’re Looking For.’

It’s possible we’re one step closer to a future “open the pod bay doors” moment, with a report that OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has allegedly just changed its “commerce policy” with respect to firearms.

Recently, we warned that an Everytown “white paper,” published on September 28, was demanding that AI companies censor and block access to AI-stored information when responding to queries related to firearms, even if the information is entirely lawful and accurate, and divert all such inquiries to local law enforcement.

We hardly expected that AI companies would capitulate so quickly.

Well, they’re run by lefty control freaks with contempt for normals.
