Oktoberfest may be AXED due to Putin gas crisis, and Bavarian breweries told to stop making BEER as it's revealed Germans must pay £1,000-a-year 'gas surcharge' ON TOP of bills and Hanover turns off hot water

Germany could be forced to scrap Oktoberfest celebrations and its famous Christmas markets as officials desperately search for ways to save energy after Russia began throttling gas supplies to Europe. Hanover yesterday became the first major city on the continent to announce it will turn off all hot water in public buildings to conserve energy, while Berlin has begun dimming streetlights and Augsburg has turned off public water fountains.

Did beer production in Bavaria stop during the 30 Years War or the 2 World Wars? Time to stock up on candles, oil lamps, wood and coal.

If Germans not getting beer doesn’t make them want to hang Klaus and the rest of the NWO crooks then nothing will.

I figured the Germans would have shut down Oktoberfest by now in order to not offend all of their Muzzie refugees.

You can either sacrifice to Gaia, or you can have a modern economy.

Choose.

When it comes to the sciences and music yes. But outside that for the past 200 years the Germans have been a plague on the West.

Germans cancel a Fest?! WTH is going on? Germans love their Fests especially Oktoberfest. The Bavarians are a much more conservative lot than the rest of German so I don’t think they’ll go for shutting down Oktoberfest for this crap.

Attempts to isolate Moscow are placing the West in a stupid position, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told the Sputnik radio station on Wednesday.

“The isolation of Russia, announced by the West, has turned into the West’s self-isolation from the rest of the world,” she pointed out. “No matter what happens, and no matter how they intimidate others, or what guidelines they send out, or what conditions they set, or how they run after various countries’ presidents and ministers, they are only placing themselves in an increasingly stupid position and pushing themselves deeper into a dead end,” the Russian diplomat emphasized.

According to her, the Western elite don’t have any diplomatic or political tools left to turn things around.

“I understand that they may have viewed it as their endgame. Perhaps, they did raise the stakes to the extent that they had to go all in, and even gamble on things that don’t exist, namely, their reputation,” Zakharova pointed out. “They bet everything but their gamble failed to pay off. And now, they are unable to comprehend that their bet is starting to go against them more and more with each passing day, affecting the economic and political situation, leading governments to fall, causing a deep political crisis and a brutal internal political divide in the US,”

Once all the Germans were warlike and mean
But that couldn’t happen again
We taught them a lesson in 1918
And they’ve hardly bothered us since then

Click bait title (in the original article) - Beer is not mentioned anywhere in the article except for the title and one “publication/editor added” photo...

But, I can imagine this going to that extreme...
