It seems to me the Germans, inventors of machine printing, display a lot
of defects associated with Printed Misinfo, starting with "authoritative"
versions of the Bible, but no stopping there.
A really Guud Example of what I write is the name Königsberg,
the Teutonic Order's name for Twangste, a camp on a Riverbank
in Pagan Prussia (Yea, those Prussians agin!).
Königsberg means "Kings Mountain" in the Official German of the time
being promulgated by the Teutonic Order, and it is a TOTAL LIE:
Printed Mis/Disinfo. There is nothing like a Mountain anywhere
near the place, and the Teutonic Knights knew it (they'd at least
seen Norway).
So *STET* on calling it Kaliningrad!
I'd even suggest that it's is a Prime Place to put the USMC
on the ground there in a Joint Operation with Russia to provide
some real security in a demilitarized Yurp.
