With "The Dark Monk," Potzsch returns to Schongau in the winter of 1648.
A terrible fever plagues the good villagers, the the young daughter
Simon cannot do much more than his quack father to halt its deadly
spread. A band of murderous thieves lurks in the woods, cutting off
Schongau from its lifeline of trade to the rest of Bavaria. And on top
of everything else, somebody has poisoned the beloved village priest.
These are, as they say, dark days. It's fitting that a Dark Monk be heavily involved.
What
ensues is a dizzying treasure hunt for Templar treasure, buried
somewhere in Bavaria, sandwiched in between Kuisl's manhunt against the
hidden robbers and, ultimately, the search for religious truth in a land
riven by the Reformation. The Bavaria of 1648 was a land where
Catholics and Protestants were never far from deadly violence, and when
fighting over some of the most precious treasures in Christendom, you
can be sure that nobody will hold anything back.

The Dark Monk
The 17th century in the Alps abounds with poverty and superstition and a person remains in the same social class into which he was born.
Interesting and sad.

MEDIA TIES ROMNEY TO TRUMP, IGNORES OBAMA-SHARPTON CONNECTION
As I mentioned in my piece this morning examining the organized narrative the media built over the weekend to aid Obama and damage Romney, the primary push was going to be to tie Romney to Donald Trump. Because Trump is still pushing the discredited “birther” conspiracy surrounding Obama’s place of birth, the corrupt media feels it can hurt our likely GOP nominee by either tying him to a “racist extremist” or by threatening him with this distraction until he backs down and repudiates Trump.
It’s an old and obvious trick and just a few minutes ago the basement-rated CNN assumed its favorite position – shilling for Obama — with this. Note the chryon: Romney supporter under fire for “birther” comments.The rationale behind the media drawing a direct line from Romney to Trump is that Romney has met with Trump, accepted his endorsement, and won’t distance himself from the famous billionaire.
But as is always the case, the media’s double standard is a glaring one. After all, Al Sharpton is a proud and open Obama supporter, Obama has met with Sharpton, and Obama hasn’t distanced himself from the MSNBC’ racial demagogue – who just this weekend made headlines with this: Republicans Want To ‘Wipe Out Innocent People’ Like ‘Hitler’s Germany’.
And this is the least of the hateful, racially divisive things Sharpton says on a disturbingly regular basis.
