... Employees at a discount supermarket chain in Germany found 95 kilograms (210 pounds) of cocaine stashed inside crates of bananas, police announced on Monday.

The drugs are reported to have a street value of around 7 million ($7.8 million).

Police did not name the supermarket in question, but said the drugs turned up in several cities around the western state of North-Rhine Westphalia.

How did cocaine end up among bananas?

Bricks of cocaine were first discovered by workers at two of the discount chain's stores in Mnchengladbach on September 10.

Later that day, cocaine was also found at the chain's stores in the nearby cities of Duisburg, Krefeld, Viersen, Heinsberg and Neuss.

"The investigators are working on the assumption that the food discounter was not the correct recipient for the delivery, but received the goods in error," Mnchengladbach police said in a statement. ...

Peice of bananas just quadrupled!

"How did cocaine end up among bananas?"

You would have predicted apples? What fruit do you think would be the most likely to hide cocaine?

Since cocaine is not inherent to Germany it was likely brought in by criminals and outsiders (invaders) just like fentanyl etc in USA. We allow an invasion of criminal enterprise trash and this is inevitable result. It is aided and abetted by devious politicians who see it as in their financial political interest to divide and import.

This is why many in Europe see leaders like Viktor Orban as being more favorable to citizens than globalist elites willing to destroy their national cultural values but never affected.

Robson extolling the virtues of Orban the petty thug tyrant.

The only people who call Viktor Orban a thug are the leftist globalist elites who make and always create wars, and make money off of cheap labor, and who want illegal immigrants voting. Never ever allow leftist elites to control your politics or nation because they will always steal your freedom and make life hell for average citizens, just as those like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are doing to America. They take what was yours (like your national treasury, Ft Knox, and freedom) and give it to cronies in big business and foreigners.

If you are supporting Victor Orban you are not supporting American style democracy.

You cannot do both.

AWWWWWWW... sorry to read this... Don Jr is touring Eastern Europe... he mistook Berlin for Belgrade... apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

BUT on a more serious note... how the eff did that thing get past our borders and into Germany? (JK)

I suspect more drugs come into developed nations via shipping ports packed in with ordinary this and that's than human mules risking life and limb crossing border wastelands. Big biz loves pointing at grubs rather than having their shipments inspected... and passing the cost to consumers.

That's beyond hilarious hehehe. That's what the rich elites that want and do control you, your media and broken mind want you to think. They want you paying for their foreign wars and foreign invaders. No thanks.

In addition to dominating parliament, Orban has restructured the Hungarian judiciary, reducing its independence and installing judges sympathetic to his administration.

At the same time, the government has passed laws limiting freedom of speech and cracking down on independent media.

Allies of Orban, meanwhile, have created a pervasive conservative media ecosystem that dominates the airwaves and generally echoes the positions of the Orban government."

'

"Since returning to power in 2010, Orban has unceasingly attacked media pluralism and independence. After public broadcasting was turned into a propaganda organ, many private media were taken over or silenced," according to the organization Reporters Without Borders.

"The ruling party, Fidesz, has seized de facto control of 80% of the country's media through political-economic maneuvers and the purchase of news organizations by friendly oligarchs."

The prime minister's many critics argue he is an autocrat who has turned his country of 10 million people in the heart of Europe into a near-dictatorship.

Orban has also been widely criticized for appointing friends and relatives to positions of authority and for turning a blind eye to corruption among senior leaders."

Why Trump wants to be Orban... or Putin or Kim or Xi, his beloved dictators.

And Bobson is just fine with that; the rule of oligarchs.

Russia is not a foreign war. They have invaded our country with propaganda and captured one of our political parties, and installed a puppet in the white house. They're at war with us and your party has chosen their side.

Robson #11: That is like saying you cannot be pro-democracy but anti-Hitler, because, nominally, Hitler was democratically first elected. Ridiculous and offensive comment Robson.

"That's what the rich elites that want and do control you, your media and broken mind want you to think."

lol. You speak of a "broken mind". Have you ever actually read any of the crazy crap you have written?

In Hungary elections are "free" but not fair.

Citizens CAN cast votes, and the votes ARE accurately counted, but the structure of the system and his control of the media ensures that his political party, Fidesz, consistently wins representation that far exceeds its share of the votes.

The revised constitution, which went into effect in 2012, wrote Hungarian nationalism and Christianity into the country's laws and helped cement Fidesz's political dominance. A new electoral system was put in place that allowed the party to retain more than two-thirds of the body's seats in the 2014 elections despite earning 44.5% of the votes cast.

THAT'S what Robson and his fellow maga maroons want to try and do here.

It's no wonder Robson has a thing for authoritarian dictators. It's exactly what maga is trying to do here. But of course he has to agree anyway. No matter what he actually thinks. (Assuming he does think.) Because Dear Leader has already spoken on this. So there is no going back now.

That's actually his full legal name!

He had it changed when he joined the new Trump Cult... he was Bahai before that; Amity Hope Abdul Robson.

My belief is simple, straight forward and consistent. We need leaders who unabashedly put our USA independence, freedom and Constitution first. Instead we have Democrats who always want more war and Americans outrageously paying always.

Trump doesn't do that. Trump never does that.

Yet you will vote for him, because you've convinced yourself that a sh-- sandwich tastes as good as ham.

One listens to a highly privileged Kamala Harris use her standard double talk and it sounds like some 18 yo freshman trying to summarize her first socialism class using the most fog inducing and complex silliness and incomprehensible statements.

She talks and always says nothing. She is one of the few national politicians of any party that are absolutely so clueless as to represent a dire global threat. She knows nothing.
