We’re hard at work in Leipzig, Germany, shooting a new TV show. My favorite sight in Leipzig is the former headquarters of the communist-era secret police, or Stasi. Like the USSR had the KGB, East Germany had the Stasi. This amazing museum smells like the musty files that it kept on its citizens. The old vinyl floor is yellowed, and the camera lenses actually look like buttons. During the final days of the regime, the apparatchiks shredded as many documents as possible, and then dissolved the shredded paper into big, mucky balls. Here’s a little peek at what happens when a government goes overboard in surveilling its own people.

Looks like America is heading toward a dictatorship. This is what happens when people don’t want to think for themselves and leave their life to a ego maniac to tell them what to think.
It’s amusing to hear Rick whispering inside the building. Of course, he always speaks quietly and respectfully on his blog videos, but here it makes us wonder if the walls have ears
Guten tag,
Thank goodness for freedom and liberty!
