The drama takes place in the near future: the discovery of cold fusion for energy production has fundamentally changed the country. The apocalyptic climate change menace has been replaced by the ideologically similar New Feminism, which is successfully established with the massive commitment of its champions and the effects of a newly discovered feminizing drug, HL2. However, due to its own shortcomings and initially unknown factors, the totalitarian power of the "Great Feminist Transformation (GFT)" begins to falter after many years of rule. But that's not all: there are "counter-revolutionaries" who are committed to destroying the drug, whatever the cost!
At the age of 19, Margarete flees from her violent master, is seduced by the historically famous advertising poster with the inscription "From maid to colonial lady" and is shipped by the German Women's Association to German South-West Africa in 1913 to marry a settler she does not know. She does not find the paradise she had hoped for, full of exotic animals and palm trees, but she bravely embraces the foreign world and the experiences that her new life brings. It is the story of ordinary people who experience incredible things in a faraway place. A story based on true events, which, against the backdrop of the genocide of the Herero and Nama peoples and both world wars, brings to light a hidden piece of German colonial history.

Enjoying time after a busy life with a good pension - that's the dream of us all. And we deserve it after all the hard work. However, for many people, their pension is no longer enough. There are reasons for this, as author Helmut Harter shows us in his book "The biggest sponsors of the German state are the working population and pensioners", and these are mainly due to political decisions: On the one hand, politicians are always happy to reach into the pension fund to finance extraneous benefits with the contributions of the compulsorily insured, such as German unification. On the other hand, not all working people are compulsorily insured, but only the middle and lower incomes. A plea for a solidary and transparent pension system!
Whether you were born in Berlin, moved here or are visiting for a while - you should know more about this city than the Kurfürstendamm, the Brandenburg Gate or Friedrichstrasse. Since its foundation, Berlin has experienced a varied and very special history - under the rule of the Hohenzollerns and Prussians, as the capital of the German Empire, in the turmoil of National Fascism and as a divided city. Now once again the capital of a united Germany, the metropolis presents itself with many preserved and new architectural masterpieces in various districts. The author lets his readers experience the past and present of Berlin through his notes as a tour guide and amateur photographer.
Memories change over time because they are constantly being reconstructed. This can also result in memories of experiences that never existed. The way the brain works does not differentiate between real and imagined content. Pseudo-memories arise particularly easily in psychotherapy through suggestive speculation about traumas suffered, such as sexual abuse. Those undergoing therapy are firmly convinced of the reality of these false memories. They suffer just as much as those who were really abused. They blame innocent people. Families are destroyed, livelihoods are threatened and there are only losers. It gets particularly bad when conspiracy theories of ritual abuse and victim programming are involved.
