Angela Merkel Is Time's Person Of 2015, Followed By ISIS Leader Al-Baghdadi And Donald Trump
When Time magazine announced the short list of its Persons of the Year for 2015, there was some consternation that the winner could be ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi or, maybe even worse according to the US press, Donald Trump. Instead, according to the just announced final results, the two gentlemen are in positions #2 and #3 respectively, with the winner being Germany's iron chancellor, Angela Merkel, whose position however in the aftermath of Europe's historic refugee crisis, has been downgraded from "iron" to quite shaky in recent weeks.
Here is Time's logic:
Europe’s most powerful leader is a refugee from a time and place where her power would have been unimaginable. The German Democratic Republic, where Angela Merkel grew up, was neither democratic nor a republic; it was an Orwellian horror show, where the Iron Curtain found literal expression in the form of the Berlin Wall. The shy daughter of a Lutheran minister, Merkel slipped into politics as a divorced Protestant in a largely Catholic party, a woman in a frat house, an Ossi in the newly unified Germany of the 1990s where easterners were still aliens. No other major Western leader grew up in a stockade, which gave Merkel a rare perspective on the lure of freedom and the risks people will take to taste it.
Her political style was not to have one; no flair, no flourishes, no charisma, just a survivor’s sharp sense of power and a scientist’s devotion to data. Even after Merkel became Germany’s Chancellor in 2005, and then commanded the world’s fourth largest economy, she remained resolutely dull—the better to be underestimated time and again. German pundits called her Merkelvellian when she outsmarted, isolated or just outlasted anyone who might mount a challenge to her. Ever cautious, she proudly practiced what Willy Brandt once called Die Politik der kleinen Schritte (the politics of baby steps), or as we call it in the U.S., leading from behind.
Then came 2015. Not once or twice but three times this year there has been reason to wonder whether Europe could continue to exist, not culturally or geographically but as a historic experiment in ambitious statecraft. Merkel had already emerged as the indispensable player in managing Europe’s serial debt crises; she also led the West’s response to Vladimir Putin’s creeping theft of Ukraine. But now the prospect of Greek bankruptcy threatened the very existence of the euro zone. The migrant and refugee crisis challenged the principle of open borders. And finally, the carnage in Paris revived the reflex to slam doors, build walls and trust no one.
Each time Merkel stepped in. Germany would bail Greece out, on her strict terms. It would welcome refugees as casualties of radical Islamist savagery, not carriers of it. And it would deploy troops abroad in the fight against ISIS. Germany has spent the past 70 years testing antidotes to its toxically nationalist, militarist, genocidal past. Merkel brandished a different set of values—humanity, generosity, tolerance—to demonstrate how Germany’s great strength could be used to save, rather than destroy. It is rare to see a leader in the process of shedding an old and haunting national identity. “If we now have to start apologizing for showing a friendly face in response to emergency situations,” she said, “then that’s not my country.”
And so this time, the woman who trained as a quantum chemist did not run the tests and do the lab work; she made her stand. The blowback has come fast and from all sides. Donald Trump called Merkel “insane” and called the refugees “one of the great Trojan horses.” German protesters called her a traitor, a whore; her allies warned of a popular revolt, and her opponents warned of economic collapse and cultural suicide. The conservative Die Welt published a leaked intelligence report warning about the challenge of assimilating a million migrants: “We are importing Islamic extremism, Arab anti-Semitism, national and ethnic conflicts of other people as well as a different understanding of society and law.” Her approval ratings dropped more than 20 points, even as she broadcast her faith in her people: “Wir schaffen das,” she has said over and over. “We can do this.”
At a moment when much of the world is once more engaged in a furious debate about the balance between safety and freedom, the Chancellor is asking a great deal of the German people, and by their example, the rest of us as well. To be welcoming. To be unafraid. To believe that great civilizations build bridges, not walls, and that wars are won both on and off the battlefield. By viewing the refugees as victims to be rescued rather than invaders to be repelled, the woman raised behind the Iron Curtain gambled on freedom. The pastor’s daughter wielded mercy like a weapon. You can agree with her or not, but she is not taking the easy road. Leaders are tested only when people don’t want to follow. For asking more of her country than most politicians would dare, for standing firm against tyranny as well as expedience and for providing steadfast moral leadership in a world where it is in short supply, Angela Merkel is TIME’s Person of the Year.
Congratulations Angela (as well as Abu al-Baghdadi and Donald Trump), and now we wonder if the German premier will go on to achieve the glorious attained by other such Time person of the year award winners as Adolf Hitler...

Joseph Stalin:

Nikita Khrushchev

and Ayatullah Khomeini

god damn shitty highlights on the merkel cover. what is that, paint by the numbers?
The (un)Holy Trinity - Merkel, al Baghdadi and Erdogan.
Why not just give the award to the pedophile prophet Muhammad himself?
He already got his Nobel peace price.
Got the Hitler edition.....gonna put it up on Ebay someday.
I'll make a killing......hopefully 6 million.
rumor is that isreal will take 5,999,999 refugees next year.....
Yes, the media has really been wall-to-wall Merkel and Al-Baghdadi. @_@
They should have cut to the chase and picked the ISIS leader.
They haven't picked a commie in a while, so that probably tipped the balance to Merkel.
And i actually agree with Trump on this. She's completely fucked up Germany.
Do people still even read this waste of paper propaganda shit?
No
egg xactly. they must get a big fucking chuckle out of this.
OY VEY IT'S ANODDA SHOAH
The ba dum tss rang in my head as soon as I read your comment lol
Larry Curly & Mo
then why can Israel build a wall? Mr. Netanyahu TEAR DOWN THAT WALL!
Why no mention Hitler was Time's man of the year,...twice?
Time is a POS and should be boycotted.
Problem is almost nobody buys it anyway.
Like much of the MSM it survives only because it receives direct or indirect subsidies from the government.
ZH does a disservice by bringing any attention to TIME.
yum. i'd hit that.
Me too. With a baseball bat.
Just awesome...
these great people of 2015...
What a time to be alive!
Your photo modification is Soooooo much better than the government/mainstream media's that on would think that they are intentionally making it obvious that their photos are fakes.
LOL
Jeez. Who beat her with an ugly stick?
That's just the askenazi blood, younger she looked even worse, before age mandated some sexual interest. Hard to imagine...
Is Time hiring? I've heard of employers letting employees drink the last few hours of the day; but I've never heard of one letting you come to work high, and stay high all day...I wonder if the drugs are supplied by the company or if it's "bring your own"?
Folks, you know Time is doing this for the Shock Value; because if they can't offer "Shock Value", the majority of the press has NO VALUE!
I'm surprised they didn't go with the ISIS leader; San Bern probably cost him the spot...Time want's to sell magazines and that would just alienate way too many people...maybe next year..especially if Russia kills the guy...
they should have had her pose like Hitler on the 1932 cover...
this is bullshit. I want to see hot German babes drunk out of their minds in traditional garb when I go to Oktoberfest, not muslims. sorry.
My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do... www.wallstreet34.com
All you have to do is sell out your country, your people and open up the gates for millions of thirdworlders and you too can be Time's person of the year.
Currently Europe's most dangerous person.
maybe the most dangerous person IN europe. however, the most dangerous person TO europe is nobomba.
Not to mention to us as well...
"the most dangerous person TO europe is nobomba."
True. If Germany and the other vassals had anything resembling a pair, nobomba would be irrelevant for Europe and those idiots could self destruct in peace and quiet.
TIME is like FED chairbitches and politicians. They always got it completely backwards.
It is Time to call TIME irrelevant which it has been for some time!
Merkel is the epitome of the European equivalent of the Puppet POTUS.
Deutchland is NOT for Germans any longer - she will be major figure in the NWO
Angela Merkel that sainted bitch opening up the gates to the scrum of the ME who will clean her toilets for peanuts. Low wages and no inflation forever in Germany...let's see how that works out for them. Time Mag, what a rag.
Frump of the Year!
Someone should call time on Time as those 3 stooges are ZATO Puppets; Even though DeTrump only took the money.
don't you mean "man of the year" ?
No sure. As the years go by she looks more and more like Edith Bunker.
Just looked up who Edith Bunker was Philo and although i see a resemblance i think Merkel looks more like Archie in drag.
Strong like East German bull!
Invented free shit sitzgreig
Merkel completely fails in her duty to act in the best interests of the German people by taking in more refugees than Germany can cope with, refusing to cap the number of refugees, bringing in diseases and wrecking the core of the EU in the process....and TIME gives her an award?..almost as funny as Barry's peace prize!
or Saudi Arabi heading the UN Human Rights commission.
Of course Merkel fails the German people.
The TIME man of the year issue these days is to reward whoever has done the most to advance the NWO and in this Merkel richly deserves the prize since she is willing to betray the German people and do the US Zionazi Deep State bidding.
Its also meant to push the strong woman meme hoping some of this will rub off on how Hillary is perceived, Hillary of course being the odds on NWO candidate and is slated to take over from Obama in 2017.
Since Trump is behaving like a loose cannon from the NWO point of view, there is of course NO way he would have been selected... improving his popularity will only make things awkward when Hillary wins anyway regardless of any preelection polls which might show Trump winning. No reason to get the US sheeple's hopes up...
who is pulling her strings though. all of her decisions are against the majority of germans. her propaganda campaign run through zdf and ard (neuvo pravda) speks not to any issues but attempts to demonize anyone with a contrary opinion. she respects no democratic ideals and wants only an EU which her masters at the controls.
she is a despot a tyrant and a commited socialist.
"God" is pulling her strings...she's Catholic...Catholic Charities LOVES to import the biggest losers into countries...Omaha Nebraska was a sleepy, livable, Midwestern Town...now it is a GANG INFESTED NIGHTMARE....Catholic Charities "imported" 1000's of Black MUSLIM Africans from war torn Sudan and other SHITHOLE African nations...thanks a lot!
PS. Catholic Charities is also pushing for the 100,000 Syrians in the USA.
"WBRZ has learned Catholic Charities helped the [Syrian] refugee who settled in Baton Rouge, but said the immigrant left for another state after a couple of days, and they don’t know where the refugee went since they don’t track them."
http://theamericanmirror.com/syrian-refugee-group-admits-we-dont-track-t...
>the state had a black homicide rate of 34.4 per 100,000 people, double the national average of black victimization.
>Omaha (and particularly its black [Sudanese] neighborhoods...) accounted for almost half of all recorded homicides in Nebraska

Something similar happened to Minneapolis, but instead with Somalis. I can't remember who the charity was for sure, but was possibly the same. People were upset because once the charity got them over here, they didn't follow through with support to integrate, get jobs, etc.
I'm glad in its rush to lay laurels at the feet of our new uberlord masters, Time writers didn't bother to ask, whence democracy?
Hey, fucktards, I stopped reading your shit in 1986! That's right, EONS ago!! LMAO. Had the great pleasure of babysitting one of your assignment writers and later read his piece and saw that what he had written up in his piece bore ZERO resemblance to the shit I witnessed on the ground. That was my first inkling you fuckers were rigging the game. How right I was!!!!!
Rot in hell, every single last one of you elitist whores.
Don't hold back. Please tell us what you really think.
You cannot make this shit up.
Although she is well deserving of a Laternenorden.
Time Mag. is not even good for use as ass wipe!
Adolph Hitler graced that cover in the 30's
I thought I remembered that. Time sure can pick the winners.
Let's face it guys, she only got this because she is a HOTTIE. No one should win this 'prestigious honor', based on looks alone. I am calling foul.
Ohh, that fat stupid bitch is responsible for fucking up all Europe. No nice words for her. But I understands that globalists must love her for what she has done to Germans and western europe this year.
Fuck you Angela.
Viktor Orban is the person who deserves the prize of peoplez of Europe: http://www.politico.eu/list/politico-28/viktor-orban/
Outside Times hq theres an old tramp wandering round with a bottle of cheap booze and shit stains down the back of his pants. Hes singing loudly and occassionally cries.
This man has more credibility as a human being and his only fault which would differentiate him from the fucks inside is his lack of access to a word processor.
^- nobel peace prize
v- time person of yr
bigger joke?
Merkel has been a faithful US serf and must be rewarded for that. She got the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Obama in 2011 and now this honor. Can you get more Orwellian?
What about the real bastard winners of time person of the year? Hitler and stalin pale in comparison to churchill, obama, Bush, bernake, Clinton and Kissenger
What happened to Putin?
If anything he has been the most active political,economical AND military figure this year,not to mention actually getting shit done regardless of adjective or moral evaluations
Putin ain't got time for time. Angela got time to lay around licking her balls for times artist to sketch her.
Three cheers for "the Donald". The Victor Laszlow our time. He's a bulwark against the Muslim evilhood. He single handedly brought the focus back to Mulsim terrorist and away from a gun debate dictated by Obama's propoganda machine, the media.
TIME'S time is up or else it needs to change its name to SLIME.
Talk about a cry for attention:
Time headline = "look at me! PLEASE LOOK AT ME!!!"
What clinched the Award for Merkel was her resolution in the face of the German Backlash not to charge the NSA/ZATO Spooks who were all over her under-garments.
TIME announced the selection from their 450sf basement office headquarters somewhere in Queens.
she's a freaking weak link, paying Turkey 3bln euros to prevent influx of mussie, migrants, are you f***ing kidding me??? If you are a dirty rat bag smelly mussie, you are most welcome in germany and recieve asylum status and get all the benefits of the social wellfare, hell you don't have to do much, just be that stinky little rat with a beard and a pack of 4 kids, and you're Angela's best friend. Over 2 mln already on well already on payroll by german society, and still 1 mln + to come 2016-17, all good in the hood bro. Big-time migration crsis, influx of drugs, high crime rates, defunct military with beer bellies . The only good job for Angela is to host Octoberfest party. When I think Germany I see BMW. When I think Angela - I see retarded sold out whore and mussie host master. Freaking old bitch.
I don't know much German language but I understand "kaput". Merkel is kaput.
BS. Merkel was brought into the East German Government by de Maziere, the son of her father's friend. Kohl adopted her and she succeeded him. In ger Government today the Interior Minister, former Defence Minister is de Maziere, cousin of the man who brought her into the last GDR Government.
She was a Stasi IM "Erica" and the US has the files.
She is the Leonid Brezhnev of German politics watching everything stagnate and decay so long as she stays in power.
If the GDR was not a "republic" then neither is the USA - it was as much a "republic" as the BRD or France or Italy. It was a Soviet satellite just as the BRD is a US satellite with full control of mail, telecomms, and media through the secret treaties of May 1949 still apparently in force.
The BRD is an Occupied territory by 60,000 US personnel whereas the GDR is simply an Annexation as Austria was in 1936. There was no plebiscite when the BRD annexed the GDR and deindustrialised the country, but Merkel and Gauck emerged after Gauck had spent several hours alone with his own Stasi File when he ran the Gauck Commission.
It's not an award. It's acknowledgement of the most influential person of the year.
Hitler was indeed a worthy choice.
I shared the "award" in 2006.
Me Too!
Merkel is West German but her father was "Red Kasner" and took her into the GDR
Merkel would have been a decent choice a couple years ago, mostly due to a stronger German economy and not letting Greece totally collapse - but now? This past year she has been weak and the German people are being overrun with immigrants that they do not want.
While there is not much to praise in Hitler. Still. Hitler made history. Merkel is Obama's golf cart driver. She's a freaking bellboy.
Indeed Hitler is still making history,Merkel is Adolf Hitlers Hair and his biological Daughter .She is the result of Adolf sperm and some lady in the Nazi top science laboratory.She is Pure Arien. You can research it, it is controversial subject and no one talked about it on mainstream ofcoarse.
But...
She is not Obama's golf cart driver on contrary he is.
At the end of the day, she's still unfuckable.
Time? What the hell is a Time?
Now that is just plain funny.
Humor !
Who the heck reads that POS rag?
I read it every time I go to the dentist.
Its the same November 28, 1982 issue (getting a little dog-eared).
Time to read something else
I liked Time's cover image, they really are the most awful flatterers.
Irrefutable evidence of the decadence, decline and inevitable failure of proletariat-dominated democracies, their irreversible unstoppable slide into coercive-collectivist-anti-individual socialism, ie
the obomination in the USA,
merkel in Germany,
Hollande in France,
etc, etc.
Meanwhile Russia, a traditional autocracy, has Putin, ie big brain and big balls.
"Germany's iron chancellor," - ROTFLMAO
"iron"????? LAPDOG for the USSA more like it.
<<< iron chancellor
<<< usa lapdog
Time is still published? Cacncelled my subscription MANY years ago. Get on board folks.
Angela Merkel, really? What is wrong with the morons who decide this? The honor of being most influential in 2015 surely belongs to the Syrian/Afghan/Iraqi/Libyan refugees and, by extension, to the people that fished them out of the Meditearrean. Not much of what happened in the world in 2015 world would have, if not for them.
Syrian army are the folks who were able to defend the Syrian land for 4 years from murders who were sent there by Merkel's masters. Now tell me how that bitch can be important... she's only doing what is being told, fuck.
I am sure Merkel will be remembered for a long time... so well deserved. There are not so many traitors who support invasion and destruction of their own country.
Ah Time Magazine, the same magazine that named Stalin and Hitler men of the year. Merkel should be proud.
She flooded Germany and Europe with waves of migrants, was the big driver of pushing austerity down the rest of Europe's throats (therby killing competetion) and knew very well that VW was cooking the emissions.
Yeah, some person of the year alright. TIME btw was too chicken to appoinnt OBL as person of the year in 2001.
Shouldn't that be Merkel, Man of the year?
Is "al Bagdadi" even a real person?
Hitler was 1938 Times person of the year, we see a pattern.
The propaganda continues...
Hitler was ‘Man of the Year’ 1938 in Time Magazine, Jan. 2, 1939

can't be anyone still buying/reading that crock of shit. They must be getting bailout money from the government council of propaganda. I think we are becoming China.
With Uncle Joe Stalin and Onkel Adolf..."Erika" STASI code-named Merkill is right up there with the other old favorites that set the planet on fire.
Hug a refugee before he decides to become a terrorist "asset" and waste you.
Merkle rhymes with Erkle, but Erkle is more intelligent so I guess there is no comparison.
Stalin was the best thing that happened to our - russian, history!
Bernie Sanders won the Time reader's poll with double the votes of the number two. TIME magazine is mainstream media crap.
Iron? I think "Ol' Leadpants" suits her better.
Yes, she will go down as the person who ruined Germany. That's very influential.
I do see a trend here: Top three are the leader of Germany, leader of ISIS, and next leader of the US.
WTF!?!? Bunch of racists. Shoulda been White Lifes Don't Matter
Only harlots can succeed in politics
She is a harlot to America (ahem Obomination that causes desolation)
