Radio Free Germany 2.0

I have expanded on the original idea for Radio Free Germany and started a new blog for that purpose. More information can be found at the About page on the new blog, but in a nutshell it is a project to do what little I can to fight against the slow erosion of rights in Germany. At the moment it is mainly setup to be an aggregate of posts that were originally posted by others, but compiled on the site and stored on a server that is physically located in the USA. My main goal there was to have a backup of posts and information that are out of reach of the BKA (German FBI), and that makes it harder for them to shut down Blogs and servers that are critical of the BKA. I will post other news and resources on the new blog as well, and I am not sure what other directions the new website will go.

The other main purpose for starting a new site was to keep D-USA a little less saturated with the situation in Germany. While I do have the occasional post on politics or religion on here, I try to keep D-USA on a lighter note. D-USA is mainly a means for me to share what is going on in my and Mrs. D-USA personal life, and to provide some light entertainment. The new website will also be a mix of German and English posts. I will usually post in English, just because after living here for 13 years I have a better skill at typing in English. But guest posts, and re-post of other blogs will be in whatever language they were originally posted in. For all I know the whole project may not take off, but at least I feel like I am doing something about the problem.
