We are seeking volunteers to assist us with our research efforts in Germany Our goal is to monitor political trends in modern Europe, particularly Germany, as well as to study history and philosophy.
Our number one need here is translators to translate parts of our web into German. We can also use writers and researchers.
As Europe unites, it will become a global power equal to the United States. The center of Europe is Germany. Today, Germany is in a stronger position in Europe than at any other time in the past 500 years. The power of today's Germany is not as apparent as it might be due to the deliberate effort of German leaders to understate this power as a result of the legacy of the two World Wars. We believe it is important to monitor Germany in order to understand the future of modern Europe.
