[QUOTE=MisterBitcoin;450703]Dietz-Werner Streck died, called the "german Columbo".
There is only an german wikipedia entry: [URL]https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietz-Werner_Steck[/URL]

He was a well known movie actor, e.g."Tatort"[/QUOTE]

I thought Peter Falk was the German Columbo. :) (He and the series were hugely popular there - the fact that his last name could be a German name didn't hurt.)

I recall Tatort from various sojourns in German-speaking parts of Europe - is the series continuing with other principals?

Quite probably one of the most influential, if least applauded, of the 20th century. He was 111

Udo Ulkotte is dead
 

Udo Ulkotte died on a heart attack.
He is a german rascist, and I´m happy about it. Strange, but...he was an A**hole. Trying to "make rascism great again".

He did do at least one useful public service before he died, which was to [url=http://www.infowars.com/leading-german-journalist-cia-media-pushing-for-world-war/]publicize the role of the CIA and American 'Deep State'[/url] in controlling the dominant propaganda narratives peddled by the major western newsmedia. A**hole or not, for that I thank him.

"infowars.com" and "leading german journalist".
Leading...ok.
RT Video...ok

It might be FAKE news. Here in Germany are Fake-News a huge problem. A lot of stupid people (e.g. Neonazis, AfD´ler and "I´m not a Nazi, but...") belive this bulls***.
Like "Refugee gains 3,000 Euro/Month" "Chemtrails" "NWO=New World Order"
Mostly bulls***.
Some persons are really dangerous, when they believe these story´s, see Mario Rönsch. He a weapon dealer, now. He believes these conspiracy theorems are true and the NWO wants to kill the humanity.......

About your article. I have no idea about the background. But CIA is doing a lot of stuff we don´t want to know...

RIP "USA"

Mary Tyler Moore , 80, American TV actress best known for her roles as Mary Richards and Laura Petrie on "The Dick Van Dyke Show".
IMHO, as Mary Richards on "The Mary Tyler Show", she was in one of the most hilarious scenes ever recorded in the episode about Chuckles the clown's death. At the funeral, when everyone is listening to the tributes to Chuckles, she starts choking, trying to hold back her laughter.
As George Carlin once said, "The best laughs are the repressed ones."
"a little song. a little dance, a little seltzer in you pants."

Couple of well-known actors, one from movies, the other from American TV (at least that is what she is best-remembered for, more so than her earlier leading-lady days in movies):
