Alice Weidel, Leader Of Germany's AfD calls Brussels ‘openly corrupt’

 

 

Alice Weidel, co-leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party which is currently battling attempts by political rivals to have it banned as a threat to democraxy, says Germany is digging its own grave. Her words came during an interview Weidel gave to Hungary’s Patriot Extra program, covered by Mandiner.

According to the nationalist politician, the European Union has “completely degenerated,” does not represent nation states or sovereign peoples, and has now become a machine run by overpaid bureaucrats that only causes harm.

Weidel says Germany’s economic decline is rooted in domestic decisions. High energy prices, mass immigration, the green transition, and the phase-out of nuclear power have made German industry uncompetitive, especially the  motor industry, which she says is being deliberately destroyed by Brussels regulations.

“All the bad rules were made in Brussels,” she said, emphasizing that the ban on internal combustion engines and environmental sanctions benefit China and American companies, not European workers. According to Weidel, Germany and Europe need a free market where everyone can produce and buy what they want.

Weidel also said the German government was playing politics against the population, lying to people, and doing the opposite of what it promised, adding "European bureaucrats make decisions that harm citizens, but benefit a narrow circle of elites. Instead of developing its own industry, Germany is forced to buy American weapons for Ukraine, which proves the weakness of the EU.

"Nobody needs the conflict in Ukraine, the war only worsens the crisis in Europe. Brussels is acting in the interests of the United States, not the European nations."

Weidel also spoke of her belief that the EU has become a tool of globalists, and its leadership ignores democratic principles. If the trend continues, the European Union will collapse, either because of internal contradictions or because of the growing resistance of countries like Hungary.

Last Week We Reported Ukrainian Leader Zelensky Would Be Ousted Soon, Now We're Hearing His Fall Could Be Imminent

 

In spite of US President's U - turn on sending arms to Ukraine after halting deliveries only a few weeks ago, it appears that the Zelensky regime is facing collapse, as boh the Ukrainian people are sick of war and death and his European allies are turning against him due to the way he has sabotages peace moves instigated by the USA and Turkey. 

The idea that Zelensky united Ukraine is laughable. His government is generally hated, as they have thrown hundreds of thousands of young (and latterly not so young) Ukrainians to their deaths, while his neo - Nazi backers  have got fat by siphoning off money from the billions of dollars sent there from the USA and Europe. Possibly Zelensky is the only world leader more despised by his own people than Keir Starmer. But if he makes a move towards peace to end the suffering of the people, he would surely be killed by his neo Nazi bosses in Kiev who want the war to go on forever.

The coup de grace that finally shattered the west's glossy image of the Ukrainian president comes in the wake of a controversial law that has allowed him to seize power over independent anti-corruption agencies.  

Politico (Europe) just ran an article entitled: “Ukraine’s insidious enemy: Its own leadership.”

The website writes: “After gutting two key anti-corruption agencies (NABU and SAPO), Kyiv’s democratic backsliding has finally caught the world’s attention.”

It then goes on to refer to “the country’s own semi-autocratic leadership.”

According to Politico, opposition members and NGOs have been “long warning about this” as Zelensky and his neo - Nazi backer seizes more and more power while intimidating critics, suppressing free speech, and branding his critics as Russian agents.

Pressure is also coming from the mass media, including the extremely influential Kyiv Independent, which just ran an editorial entitled: “Zelensky just betrayed Ukraine’s democracy — and everyone fighting for it.”

The Kyiv Independent has been a strong suporter of Zelensky throughout the war. The paper wrote that they warned about anti-democratic backsliding, and that it was now happening:

A parliamentary vote, led by President Volodymyr Zelensky’s lawmakers, today took away the independence of Ukraine’s key anti-corruption bodies — the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO). Zelensky signed it into law the same day.

Under the new law, the prosecutor general, a notoriously non-independent figure, will now oversee anti-corruption investigations — in a complete overturn of the system that was set up to be independent from other law enforcement bodies.

In reality, it means that Zelensky’s office will be able to stop anyboy investigating his various dealings with foreign billionaires.

While Western corporate media have been shameless cheerleadersfor Zelensky's efforts to prolong the war to the financial benefit of his corrupt regime and its supporters, independent journalists on the ground have reported for years now concerning the unrest and disdain within large segments of the population due to his forced closure of churches and persecution of clergy, cancelling elections, kidnapping young men off the streets for military service and the arrest or disappearance of critical journalists (such as Gonzalo Lira, arrested and "died" in prison).

Even the US and NATO leaders have admitted that much of the aid provided has been lost to the massive corruption among Zelensky and his cronies.

The people of Ukraine know what's going on and, had elections been held, would have replaced this incompetent fascist long ago.

Western leaders Still Want To Let Ukraine Join NATO Though Even They Must Know It Would Start WW3
‘When are you going to let us use the Storm Shadow?’ a maimed Ukrainian soldier is reported to have asked Boris Johnson during the former Prime Minister's most recent visit to Ukraine. The young man was referring to the Storm Shadw missiles donated to the Ukie was effort by the UK. His comment was prompted by the mass murderer Zelensky's latest idiotic whine about the US /UK / NATO refusal to sanction the use of such missiles to strike targets deep within Russian territory.

Storm Shadow for Ukraine? Starmers Says Yes, Uncle Sam Says No
Ukraine's President Zelensky, after meeting UK Prime Minister and current warmonger in chief 'Sir' Keir SStürmer has ben relying on Britain to lead the charge of the Allies to be first to supply Kiev with weapons enabling then to strike targets deep within Russian territory. It is true Starmer has said he wants the UK to 'lead he world' in giving the Ukies the support they need to start World War Three and several other policies whivh can only result in the destruction of civilised society.

Risk of a nuclear incident at the Kursk nuclear power plant,’ because of Ukie drone strikes warns IAEA“There is a risk of a nuclear incident at the Kursk nuclear power plant,” said Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) following his visit on Tuesday (27 August) to the facility in Kurchatov, close to the Russian border and the area curenly occupied by Ukrainian troops. He added that he had been shown evidence of damage caused by Ukie drone strikes during his visit to the plant.

If You're Afraid Of Nuclear War You're Not Supporting Ukraine Enough Is Zelensky's Latest Message
The follow up to Elon Musk's refusal to open his Starlink satellite network for the benefit of Ukrainian military leaders as they fantasise about attacking Crimea and driving out the Russian occupying force this past week showcases how completely unhinged and dangerous the Ukrainian government's desire to escalate the war has become.

Will Commodities Be The New Reserve Currency As The Death Knell Of The Dollar Sounds?
Many respected economists and market analysts who favour the free markets approach concur that we are heading towards a new economic reality that will see the collapse of the US$ as the default reserve currency, to be replaced not by any other fiat currency such as the Euro or the Renminbi, but by a system in which  commodities are the primary denominator of value. Should this turn out to be the case we can expect an acceleration of the shift in geopolitical power from west to East.

We The Good Guys Versus They The Bad Guys Reporting Does Not Make Sense For The Ukraine Crisis
Mainstream media reporting of the conflict in Ukraine has disappointed. Perhaps I was naive to suppose that lessons might have been learned from the hits their print sales and online traffic rates took as a result of their handling the COVID pandemic But instead of focusing on the most obviously newsworthy aspect of the build up to and escalation of the war, Russia’s view of NATO expansion into Ukraine and even further to Georgia and Kazakhstan, news reports have simply demonised Russia and portrayed Ukraine as the good guys.

Europe's Depleted Gas Storage Might Not Get Refilled Ahead Of Next Winter
While mainstream news reporting of the conflict in Ukraine continues to pump out a torrent of anri - Russia, pro - war propaganda the catastropic effects of this war that could so easily have been avoided are not mentioned. Well why would warmongering governments admit they have inflicted an energy crisis, food shortages and soaring living costs on their people for no good reason ...

Russia Just Sent out a Message NATO Should Better Listen To
The key paragraph from the latest official Russian naval doctrine is that Putin and his military advisers have sent a clear message that NATO encroachment is unacceptable. To be honest, there is nothing earth shattering in this, The Daily Stirrer and many other alternative media news and analysis sites have been warning for about two years that Obama's foreign policy was making conflict inevitable.

Trump's Latest Actions Trigger 'Threat To Democracy' Warnings From His Undemocratic Opponents.

 Since Donald Trump 'triggered' hypersensitive liberals and progressives (aka communist seditionists,) by activating the California National Guard against the protest of the governor, and then bringing in US Marines – both of which his critics argue are unconstitutional – is certainly provocative and possibly, in part at least, a theatrical stunt by the president to show who is in charge fotr the benefit of Governors in Democrat run states who think they can derail the Trump presidency. The street protests in Los Angeles were the result of his ordering a crackdown on illegal immigrants to the state, where for decades a far left state government has been actively encouraging illegal immigration.. You could be forgiven for thinking he deliberately provoked the alleged “rebellion” in order to humiliate California leaders.

It is worth noting that The Appeals Court ruled today that Trumps use of the California National Guard was legal, which is a bit inconvenient for those who would brand him a tyrannical dictator. In fact his action against illegal immigrats in California was a response to the state government's refusing to enforce federal law, and encouraging lawless among minority communities. 

Added to that, from the moment Trump announced his intention to run again for president, the Democrat Nomination Committee mobilised prosecutors, judges, the left media et al in a lawfare campaign against him. That is where the real threat to democracy  in the USA resides. Fortunately the American public saw through it.  

Trump is currently attacking California Democrat controlled state legislature on several fronts, shrewdly judging that the extremist Governor Gavin Newsom among all Democrat politocians was most likely to react unreasonably. Newsom duly obliged by orchestrating the pro - immigration riots that disrupted Los Angeles and other cities a couple of weeks ago. He is stripping the state of its powers under the Clean Power Act to impose tougher pollution rules than federal levels. He has signed an order blocking California’s plan to phase out petrol cars by 2035, and another stopping it capping nitrogen oxide emissions. He now is threatening to withhold federal disaster aid for wildfires.

Trump, in typical style called Newsom  “Governor Newscum” and added : “You know, hatred is never a good thing in politics. When you don’t like somebody, you don’t respect somebody, it’s harder for that person to get money if you’re on top.”

*

The end of American democracy comes not when we allow a Donald Trump to get away with process violations, but when we allow anyone to do so.

But the elites have been more than happy to live with that sort of thing, as long as it was Democrats doing it. As long as the ship was going to the way they wanted it to go.

Donald Trump has done some things that are not acceptable. The California Guard thing is not one of them, but others are. But if you call him out on those things, and ignore Democrats when they do so, then you are not aprincipled son of liberty, you are a partisan and a hack.

People who claim Trump's efforts to return the USA to the rule of law, which several of his predecessors have actvely sought to dismantle by politicising the judiciary, police and military, are engaging in overdramatization to the point of paranoia. 

First, asa mentioned above, an appeals court has ruled that the Federal Executive retains the right to use the National Guard to maintain order based on the fact that the LA violence sought to disrupt immigration officials from executing their statutory obligation to detain and deport those illegally in the US. Immigration is the purview of the Federal government, and California was actually obstructing the enforcement of the law. 

 Secondly, Progressives and those in a fever of Trump Derangement Syndrome should look far more carefully at Britain and the Grooming scandal, as well as efforts to stifle citizen dissent by prosecuting people who express opinions the political class doesn't like. Totally innocent people have been subjected to Gestapo-like raids and put in jail after summary trials for trying to discuss in public forums the former and for highligting the anti - Semitism of pro Hamas demonstrators protesting against Israel's actions in Gaza. 

Finally, the Net Zero thing is one grand scam. A close examination of the science suggests there are many questions about the impact of man made greenhouse emissions on the climate. Meanwhile, the British government has adopted suicidal policies that hurt the economy and citizens without any democratic consultation and under the leadership of a crazed 'hair on fire' Energy Minister. People face prosection for pointing out these unwelcome truths too.

Meanwhile, in sync with the UK, California haa adopted radical laws on emissions that negatively impact not only on itself, but on other U.S. states. This makes it a Federal issue. Finally,Demented Democrat President Biden's decision to allow 14 million people to walk into the US without identity, security or health checks, was the true blow to democracy and the rule of law. I am no MAGA fan, but on the issue of immigration and Climate Change, Trump is is cleaning up the mess created by his predecessor and the Governonr of California, which is to enforce the law.

*

Another point that goes largely unremarked, despite the fact that any comment or statement that falls short of condemning Trump as a madman, tyrant, fascist and crook is immediately branded 'far right'  but it is Trump that has moved the Republican Party left in many ways.

The most obvious example are the tariffs. It wasn't too long ago that economic protectionism and high tariffs were the preference of the political left and trade unions in order to protect the local workforce and avoid them being undercut by cheaper labour in the global market.

But another area where Trump's Republican Party is in stark contrast to Reagan's is the rejection of state rights. The Republican Party used to stand for taking control from the federal government and placing it as local as possible. I happen to agree that Newsome is a terrible governor and successive Democrat governors have had a devastating impact on California, but surely a Republican President should defend the right of Californians to elect terrible leaders if that is their choice.

We are not witnessing the death of democracy in America. We're witnessing a hissy fit by Newsom a privileged member of the liberal elite who cannot accept that Trump won the presidency by defeating a truly hopeless candidate after four years of rule by a demented geriatric, and is unhinged by the end of the liberal consensus.

The Demise Of Dollar Hegemony: Russia Breaks Wall Streets's Oil-Price Monopoly In a move that went almost completely unreported in mainstream media, Russia has recently opened a market for the trading of physical and 'paper' oil (futures) in Moscow in Roubles.

The Martyrng Of Marine Le Pen Will Only Serve To Accelerate The Rise Of Europe's Right

Marine Le Pen’s conviction for misuse of EU funds and subsequent five year ban ban from all politics including the democratic contest to become the French president (in which she has been consistently leading polls,) has polarised Europe, redefining the political narrative in the battle for the cultural and political heart of Europe. The verdict, making her ineligible to seek political office for five years, rules her out of the 2027 French presidential race, a contest for whih she was conidered the front runner, and will cement claims by her party, the right wing National Rally, that it faces judicial and political persecution in a system weighted in favour of the elite and is always subject to interference by the corrupt EU bureaucracy in Brussels.

“Today it is not only Marine Le Pen who was unjustly condemned: it was French democracy that was killed,” Giorgia Meloni, the Eurosceptic and populist prime minister of Italy, said.

While most of Europe's prominent left wing politicians were quick tio jump on the threat to democracy bandwagon, at least one pointed out that the conviction could backfire on the establihment by allowing Mme. Le Pen to present herself as a political martyr, and thus strengthen support for her party and her bid for the presidency one French conservative pointed out.

 https://imagenes.20minutos.es/files/image_1920_1080/uploads/imagenes/2024/09/25/la-primera-ministra-italiana-giorgia-meloni-y-el-ceo-de-tesla-elon-musk.jpeg

                                     Giorgia Meloni and Elon Musk, pictured at an awards ceremony in New York last year, have both expressed support for Marine Le Pen
Picture: FILIPPO ATTILI/US PALAZZO CHIGI/EPA

The French court's action has quickly been linked to the ruling by Romania’s constitutional court to cancel and postpone presidential elections last year that looked within the reach of the radical nationalist right, albeit in different circumstances, amid claims of Russian interference in the electoral process.

Even among French mainstream conservative Republicans party, however, there is the belief that the judgment is more about blocking a radical candidate and anti-establishment contender for power than a simple, black-and-white criminal case.

“The democratic destiny of our nation [is] confiscated by an outrageous judicial cabal,” Éric Ciotti, a former president of the party, said. “The favoured candidate in the presidential election prevented from running. This is not a simple dysfunction. It is a system to capture power that systematically throws aside any candidate that is too far to the right and who has a chance of winning.”

The narrative will add credibility to National Rally’s argument that the French political system is rigged against them after the party was locked out of power by tactical voting in parliamentary elections last year.

“…enabling her to pose as a political martyr…” says an opponent. There is no question that she is a political martyr. This conversion of fact to “misinformation” seems to be a common left wing and globalist tactic. The state must suppress evidence that mRNA vaccines cause harm, in case it causes vaccine hesitancy (amongst those who believe they cause harm because of that evidence). The state must hide strong evidence against Neodarwinism so as not to encourage the “Creationists” (ie all who believe there is strong evidence against Neodarwinism). The State must jail those who expose rape gangs (to prevent the public believing there are rape gangs). The must censor all news from Russia (whilst Russians retain access to ours) in case people believe Western censorship to be a far right talking point.

And all these acts which rob us of our freedoms are being implenented to protect our freedoms and save us from wicked people who pose a threat to democracy by standing as candidates opposed to the establishment in democratic elections.

Unfortunately the sneering sarcasm was misplaced but served to reveal the man in charge of energy policy does not know the difference between energy and electricity.

The True Cost Of The Green Energy Boom Is Now Being Realized
For four decades we have been fed a constant stream of propaganda assuring us that green energy was the only way forward if we wanted to secure supplies of the energy essential to a modern society while preventing the environmental catastrophes that would be the inevitable consequence of climate change caused by the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emitted by human industrial, commercial and social activity. ...

Debunked: The Great Renewable Green Delusion
The war in Ukraine has not caused the global energy crisis of early 2022 byt merely exacerbated it. Currently the nations currently in conflict with Russia over its incursion into Ukraine are those which are most dependent for their energy needs on Russian oil and gas. And now their loonytoons 'net zero' green energy policies have failed they are biting the hand that feeds them.

When Boris Johnson revealed the UK Government plans for achieving 'net zero' carbon emissions by 2050 it emerged the much teased clean, green replacement for gas boilers as our main source of domestic heating is to be heat pumps. The Daily Stirrer counters the pseudo-scientific bollocks and reveals this 'new technology has been around for a hundred years.

German Elections: Integrity Of The Result Questioned After Anti - Establishment BSW Party Conveniently Fails By 14000 Votes To Win Seats

 

Globalist wet liberal Friedrich Merz looks set to be the next chancellor of Germany after his Christian Democrats (CDU), along with its Bavarian sister party (CSU), won Sunday’s federal election with 28.6 percent, comfortably ahead of the ani - immigration party AfD which seured second place thus breaking the traditional German duopoly as the Social Democrats crashed to only 16% of the vote.

The CDU/CSU did not win enough votes for an oversall majority and it is likely to form another Grand Coalition with the Social Democrats although the to parties have little common ground on policy and share only a desire born of fear for their own positions, to keep AfD out of government.

The election delivered the anticipated political shake-up as the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) made historic gains, the Free Democratic Party (FDP) crashed out of parliament, and the newly founded left-wing, anti-immigration BSW agonizingly fell just short of the 5 percent threshold to win seats in the Bundestag. Had BSW made it into the Bundestag that would have changed the picture because it would take seats from the SDP and leave Merz needing a third coalition member. The CSU, somewhat more conservative than the CDU who are a bunch of political grifters and will do anything to hold on to power.

CDU will not work with AfD and so would only have the far left Linke and the loony left Greens available to complete the triumvirate, but the CSU will not work with the Greens so a ruling coalition without AfD would not have been possible.

With just 14,000 votes, the election result could have been radically different. The German voting system only applies if a party scores 5 percent of the vote, and if they fail to achieve that, millions of votes can be flushed down the drain and those voters get no representation at all. While most countries have some kind of voter hurdle in Europe, Germany’s is exceptionally high.

The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) came incredibly close to wielding power, scoring 4.972 percent of the vote. In all of Germany, they were short 14,000 votes. 

German democracy only applies if a party scores 5 percent of the vote, and if they fail to achieve that, millions of votes can be flushed down the drain and those voters get no representation at all. While most countries have some kind of voter hurdle in Europe, Germany’s is exceptionally high.

The result means that the composition of parliament is vastly different than it would have been if the party was included. 

If BSW had made it into parliament, the CDU would have had to find a third coalition partner, as the SPD would not have been enough to secure a majority. With a two-party coalition, not only is it easier for the CDU to form a government but that government is also likely to be far more stable than a three-party coalition. The AfD and BSW would have also taken a third of all seats, which would have given them a blocking minority, and would have enabled them to push back in certain areas.

The AfD has doubled its vote since 2021, but is still falling short of its own ambitions. It is no longer a phenomenon confined to the former communist state of East Germany, winning over many working-class voters from the SPD, increasingly including those in West Germany, and many first-time voters. 

Campaigning as a fairly standard Right-wing populist party (not 'far right' as it has been dubbed in mainstream media all over Europe,) the leftward drift of legacy parties has given the working class voter nowhere else to look for a party that addresses their concerns. To be excluded  again from Government by the ‘firewall’, it will only become more popular as the face of the real opposition to the miserable status quo. We can easily anticipate the fate of whatever national coalition forms; similar coalitions at the state level have led to political gridlock

German democracy only applies if a party scores 5 percent of the vote, and if they fail to achieve that, millions of votes can be flushed down the drain and those voters get no representation at all. While most countries have some kind of voter hurdle in Europe, Germany’s is exceptionally high.

So far BSW leader, Sahra Wagenknecht has stated that it would not be the end of her party regardless of whether the BSW makes it into parliament or not; however, she has signaled she may withdraw from politics.

However, BSW MEP Fabio de Masi is already raising questions about the election outcome and hinting at jiggery pokery in the vote count, writing on X: “I fear this election will still keep Courts busy.”

“A legal round is not out of the question. Proceedings first in the Bundestag, then in the Federal Constitutional Court. The question is, are there electoral errors and are they relevant to the mandate?” wrote Masi.

 This could develop into a hugely entertaining mess. Nobody can hear the fat lady singing, in fact it seems certain she hasn't even entered the building yet. Get the snacks and beer ready.

And the case that the 50 million climate refugees that were predicted tTo descend on the west, having been displaced by rising sea levels are apparently all hiding under Harry Potter's Cloak of Invisibility is ignored.

After German Thought Police Raid Homes For ‘Racist Memes,' Elon Musk responds: ‘Thank The Lord That America Has Freedom Of Speech’

 

After American TV news magazine “60 Minutes” screened a special on German hate speech laws which featured police raids on citizens across the country a backlash was triggered that could causer a potential diplomatic fallout between the U.S. and Germany and certainly led to a meltdown on certain parts  of social media

The 60 Minutes  program, made by American news network CBS, prompted Elon Musk to respond to the shocking clips of police state tactics being used by the increasingly authoritarian, far left ruling coalition, writing: “Thank the Lord that America has freedom of speech.”

 


US Vice President J D Vance and German leader Reichsfuher Scheev Von Palpatine (picture credit: RMX news )

Despite widespread criticism of Germany’s slide towards becoming an authoritarian police state, despite government claims that they are defending democracy, is little different from the Nazis in the 1930s, the police, legal authorities and the interior ministry show no signs of eassing back with raids against individuals posting “hate speech,” “insults,’ or “racist memes.”

Now German politicians are also jumping on the bandwagon after simply snivelling the usuak politically correct cliches whenever the topic of immigration was rased for years. With the AfD, party soaring in polls and the election a few days away, a top member of the Free Democrats (FDP), the party which made the election necessary by resigning from the ruling coalition because of extremist policies demanded by their partners, Wolfgang Kubicki, stating on X: “Anyone who can still sleep peacefully in the face of such images has not understood the value of freedom of opinion for the democratic community. Freedom of opinion is the basis of freedom in general. These searches undermine confidence in the validity of the Basic Law. We will ensure that the next Bundestag prevents such authoritarian excesses.”

However, the house raids may also result in diplomatic fallout between the U.S. and Germany.

“Insulting someone is not a crime, and criminalizing speech is going to put a real strain on European-US relationships. This is Orwellian, and everyone in Europe and the US must reject this lunacy,” wrote Vice President JD Vance.”

The 60 minutes special  also features German prosecutors laughing over the house searches conducted in Germany, with one German X user, Marc A. Wilms, writing: “This shows how quickly we have landed in Orwellian conditions. By the way, these gentlemen are having a lot of fun with the fact that people are shocked when their mobile phones are taken away during a house search.

Despite criticism for Germany’s slide towards an authoritarian police state, the police authorities and the interior ministry show no signs of slowing down with raids against individuals posting “hate speech,” “insults,’ or “racist memes.”

Now, German politicians are also chiming in, with a top member of the Free Democrats (FDP), MP Wolfgang Kubicki, stating on X: “Anyone who can still sleep peacefully in the face of such images has not understood the value of freedom of opinion for the democratic community.

“Insulting someone is not a crime, and criminalizing speech is going to put a real strain on European-US relationships. This is Orwellian, and everyone in Europe and the US must reject this lunacy,” wrote Vice President JD Vance.

Musk has also issued more than one tweet in the wake of the CBS special.

He also reposted other segments of the 60 Minutes special, including a post from John LeFevre, where he wrote: “Calling a rapist is more offensive than being a rapist in Germany. And 60 Minutes is ok with this…”

The video also features German prosecutors who have a laugh over the house searches conducted in Germany, with one German X user, Marc A. Wilms, writing: “This shows how quickly we have landed in Orwellian conditions. By the way, these gentlemen are having a lot of fun with the fact that people are shocked when their mobile phones are taken away during a house search. ‘Even if they are not punished further, just taking it away is punishment in itself! Hehe!’ From a program that aired on US TV.”

One of the main points raised over and over again in the backlash against the authoritarian policy is whether an “insult” is a crime. In the show, German prosecutors tell CBS, without a hint of embarrassment that “insulting” a member of a protected minority or a politician is a crime, and even reposting an insult is a crime.

Hehe!’ From a program that aired on US TV.”

One of the main points is whether an “insult” is a crime. German prosecutors tell CBS that “insulting” someone or a politician is a crime, and even reposting an insult is a crime.

Notably, hundreds of people, if not thousands , have had their homes searched and their internet enabled devices seized, as well as being threatened with prosecution, for “insulting” politicians. Among the insults included calling Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock the “worst foreign minister.” In another case, a man had his home raided when he called Economics Minister Robert Habeck an “idiot.”

However, when those same insults and worse are directed at members of the centre - right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, surprise, surprise, it is not then a prosecutable offense .

Just a few months ago, for instance, a federal court in Cologne’s found that extremist threats against the AfD constituted “freedom of expression.”

“Break down their doors and gates, slap them in the face. Vomit in their faces. I don’t give a sh*t,” said public figure Peter Fischer to German state television channel RTL. Despite his comments being a blatant incitement to violence violence against the party and its supporters, the court claimed the violent statements from Fischer, the former president of the Eintracht Frankfurt football club, are protected speech under German law. 

All we can say it is seems Naziism is back with a vengange in Germany. Deutschland, Deutschland Uber Alles and all that.

Shock! Horror! V P Vance Tells Europeans They Have More To Fear From Their Own Leaders Than Russia Or China

 US Vice President J.D. Vance has shocked European leaders when he accused them of “criminalising” free speech, opening the immigration floodgates and brutally clamping down on dissent during in his address to the Munich Security Conference.  The US vice president also denounced the pariah status placed upon the popular AfD party, which the three parties involved in Germany's authoritarian ruling coalition, the more-socialist-than-Karl-Marx Social Democrats, the crazier-than-Howard Hughes Greens and the more inept than Mr. Bean FDP have tried to pass laws imposing a ban on the party taking part in democratic elections and even criminalising involvement with it.

“Democracy rests on the sacred principle that the voice of the people matters. There’s no room for firewalls,” he said, referencing a pledge by mainstream German parties not to work with or form governments with the party.

“The organisers of this very conference have banned lawmakers representing populist parties on both the left and the right from participating in these conversations,” he added, referring to the MSC this year barring politicians from the AfD politicians and the Left-populist Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance.

During his speech, Vance lectured European governments over free speech and mass immigration, accusing them of hostility to the idea that “somebody with an alternative viewpoint might express a different opinion or, God forbid, vote a different way, or even worse, win an election”.

The address was met with an angry rebuke from Boris Pistorius, the German defence minister, who labelled it “unacceptable”.

Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, also rebuffed Mr Vance’s remarks as highly unusual, adding that Germany had a firewall against extreme right-wing parties for a good reason, citing its National Socialist past.

“The organisers of this very conference have banned lawmakers representing populist parties on both the left and the right from participating in these conversations,” he added, referring to the MSC this year barring politicians from the AfD politicians and the Left-populist Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance.

After addressing the conference Mr Vance met Ms Weidel after snubbing the opportunity to meet Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, German media reported.

During his speech, he lectured European governments over free speech and mass migration, accusing them of hostility to the idea that “somebody with an alternative viewpoint might express a different opinion or, God forbid, vote a different way, or even worse, win an election”.

The address was met with an angry rebuke from Boris Pistorius, the German defence minister, who labelled it “unacceptable”.

Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, also rebuffed Mr Vance’s remarks as highly unusual, adding that Germany had a firewall against extreme right-wing parties for a good reason, citing its National Socialist past. German's are notoriously immune to irony, as was demonstrated by Scholz's remarks after his party has spent most of the last year trying to have the AfD banned because they are a threat to the authoritarian government he leads.

The U.S Vice President took his culture war with Europe even further, warning that its greatest threat came not from China or Russia but from within as he delivered a blistering attack on what he said was the continent's retreat from its traditional values.

Vance said free speech and democratic institutions were being eroded in an address to the Munich Security Conference.

He accused European politicians of forcing people to shut down social media accounts and urged leaders to do more to stem illegal immigration, reserving particular scorn for America's closest ally, citing the case of a British man arrested after praying near an abortion clinic.

'Europe faces many challenges, but the crisis this continent faces right now, the crisis I believe we all face together, is one of our own making,' he said.

'If you're running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you, nor, for that matter, is there anything that you can do for the American people who elected me and elected President Trump.'

If his audience of European VIPs had expected Vance to discuss the future of the war in Ukraine, outlining Donald Trump's peace plan, they were in for a shock. Some shifted in their seats as he attacked European politicians head on, particularly over their enthusiasm for censorship and loathing of free speech, telling his audience: "Free speech, I fear, is in retreat and in the interests of comedy, my friends, but also in the interest of truth. I will admit that sometimes the loudest voices for censorship have come not from within Europe, but from within my own country, where the prior administration threatened and bullied social media companies to censor so-called misinformation. Misinformation, like, for example, the idea that coronavirus had likely leaked from a laboratory in China. Our own government encouraged private companies to silence people who dared to utter what turned out to be an obvious truth.

"So I come here today not just with an observation, but with an offer. And just as the Biden administration seemed desperate to silence people for speaking their minds, so the Trump administration will do precisely the opposite, and I hope that we can work together on that."
