They want us cowering in fear, isolated, looking out for our own necks. Which means we must do the opposite. Like how gazelle herds survive crossing rivers with lions and alligators lurking. Alone they are weak. Together they are strong. Everybody should declare "I am a right wing extremist." A montage video of grandmothers, children, multi-ethnics, corporate, laborer, a montage that is impossible to look like the face of anti-democratic hate. "Six-hundred funny people." That's how freedom prevails.
There's safety in numbers. Hiding away to protect oneself allows a pack of hungry predators to devour the prey, growing more and more voracious. Until there are no more prey left, picked off while on their solo fearful journeys, weak, cowering, until they meet their demise they only delayed by trying to hide. Own it. Like many own "deplorables" in the US. Turn it into a positive.
So true. But we can't count on everyone doing, so we need a strategy to fight this even if we're on our own.
They got us to shut up about our politics in the past because they shamed us, they got us to shut up with the corona, the lockdowns, and the vax because they made us afraid of being mocked and cancelled. And now that we're so on to them for both of these schemes, they want to destroy us completely. We need a really good strategy.
Hi Ryan, I agree. I’m not even sure what ALL of it means yet. Or maybe I question what it doesn’t mean? IT MEANS EVERYTHING RIGHT?!! Oh man were you right about the book you recommended, “ Behind The Green Mask” by Rosa Koire. You told me about it, I think? That was a few years ago. It’s in full swing here in the N.W., most cities, Lahaina! 🙈 Most have no idea. I’m working to spread the truth,… about everything. I love Substack & have learned so much in 4 years. And from smart readers like you. Any doubt in humanity has been eased by the words I read here.
We are strong people & our faith in God is even stronger.
Esther 4:14
“ Perhaps you were created for a time such as this. “
In Wa. state, our Board of Health voted & changed wording to make previous HIV quarantine camps, into pandemic camps. A
“ pandemic”, much like the fake Covid virus, is anything “ they” determine it to be. They have elaborated on this even more. Make sure and read “ non- compliance”. That’s where I’ll be. 😂 No fear, Do not Comply.
Indeed. That particular hatred of the immigrants just happens to have its own sordid history here in Europe. The gay killing and the wife beating are more distant and alien, so they aren't getting the coverage. And you will note the observation adult Pakistani men having sex with young girls has been reduced to "grooming gangs" and considered all but acceptable. They don't dwell on the realities of it.
And yet we still get the Queers for Palestine, RadFems for Undocumented Third World Men with no wives and a quite different view of the fairer sex. I mean, what do you do with them? Surely we have to let reality bite so they get the message.
It's an excellent interview even for folks who have carefully tracked the surveillance and censorship powers over decades. Fascinating pinpointed shift w State Dept leap to Atlantic Council after Trump's 2016 election took control from insider cabal.
Must watch 10 min riff it moves fast & covers alot from @ 27min
DHS made an American SS by tweaking definitions for cybersecurity.. Outward facing propaganda ops shifted to target Americans w NATO allies & pressured EU to pass censorship laws.. Time honored work around to legal obstacles NATO & NGO Mafia. ..Congress shall make no law K-Street pros can't backdoor & loophole... fantastic interview!
The transcript is available from several sites including Tucker Carlson. Another site, conservativewoman.co.uk, has published the transcript as a series of 5 articles.
> The democratic institutions are defending themselves in the name of protecting democracy.
Fun fact: if you strolled into just the right fragment of the Internet 10-15 years ago, you would have known this happened. It's the "I, robot" kind of a robot uprising, just without any robots. People who obey their legal mandates are merely bio-robots and are just as prone to Gone Horribly Right as actual AI-controlled robots.
We need to fix our systems. We need a trustworthy place to go and debate, problem solve, and error correct. These systems of government and 3 letter agencies are all captured.
Our systems are corrupted. We need to build new ones. Transparent ones. Decentralized ones. Trustworthy ones. Like this:
Unfortunately, it's not possible to build a political system free from corruption, especially if your society is corrupt. Corruption always finds a way. Fiddling with the dials on the machine is fruitless.
The only way to have a reasonably clean State is to get rid of it. Even then, a mostly homogeneous society with strong morality is your only chance to live free.
People overlook the homogeneous part all too readily. Only Western nations have opened up and attempted to cope with many cultures. At some level it must be understood it will fail given the label, multiculturalism. Multiple cultures in one place always means violence.
And yet I see no awareness of this basic historical observation. Even when ethnic mafias are seen to take over councils people seem oblivious.
We stop it, we deport illegals immediately. Withdraw all welfare for immigrants. End financial support for legal aid to asylum seekers; that is for natives, not foreigners. Get a list of those being funded from overseas who are working to promote open borders and try them for treason.
Once that is done you make an announcement. This is Country X. Here is how we do things here. If you cannot assimilate within two to three generations, we will repatriate you.
That is how you do it. Withdrawing welfare alone will change the game. The immigrants themselves tell us this.
We or better yet the politicians could learn something of life in a zoo .We don't put lions and lambs together in a zoo ,for simple reasons .The same goes for putting people of very different cultures together for simple reasons not to .
It seems that politics attracts the easily (not to say, enthusiastically) corrupted. The ratio of people who leave politics substantially richer than when they entered to those who don't must be 100's to 1, 1000's even. Donald Trump is probably one of those rare beasts who came out poorer.
Breath-takingly uninformed last sentence! President Trump seemed not to understand, let alone observe the principle of "blind trust" when it came to overseeing the operation of his holdings, even as he held the highest office in the land. He also never seemed to miss an opportunity to pad his companies' bottom lines, especially in the course of dealing with foreign nations, who seemed only too happy to play along by almost exclusively booking the services of the Trump hospitality operations. Making a buck was always Number One to Mr. Trump and he apparently saw no need to curtail that impulse when he became President of the United States.
Let’s see some actual cases and figures. They investigated every aspect of this guys life, made his tax returns public all while Nancy Pelosi and pals made themselves immune to IRS audits.
Just wondering what your reliable source might be. Hunter Biden?
We will all have been enslaved (passively) and the opportunity to do this or to make it make a difference will be long past before it happens, considering the rate at which things are moving. See the Mike Benz interview with Tucker Carlson.
The problem is not the system(s). The problem is the people. Every group of individuals gets the leader they deserve. The more authentic/aware/critical thinking etcetera those individuals each are, the less powerfull their leader is. Without sheepy people, selfish people no leader is necessary.
And please consider this before thinking an unequality in power is possible to fix anyway.
'Something that is not broken, cannot be fixed' they say
And, if it should be possible to fix, why would we, starting profoundly overthinking the theoretical concept of a society without presence of sheepy-, sellfish-, greedy-, mentally unhealthy people, in which, in my opinion, 'leaders' actually would not even exist at all.
“I've been describing over the course of this in order to have an internal mechanism to sensor anything that the eu, which is just a proxy for NATO deems to be disinformation. And you can bet with 65 elections around the globe this year, you can predict every single time what they're going to define disinformation as. So that's the main fight right now is dealing with the transatlantic flank attack from Europe.” -Benz
That's a fabulous quote!....and especially if it came from Mrs T.
I am not a German citizen but I recognise the signs here well enough. I have lived through a 50 year long period watching how 'progressively' every public and private part our culture has been captured by a virtually unchallengeable 'social justice’ clerisy.
The grim truth is that our post-war democratic pluralism is now just a farce. It has made problems for itself to which it has no credible solution. And so we must wait for some new political arrangements to emerge - whatever these may be.
Someone dug into history and posted that every major facist movement ( dictator controlled govenment) first removed the guns from the population. Can't remember all the countries but Germany in the 1930's was definately one of them.
Across western democracies, as the individual gained power (via the internet) to expose the "emperor's new clothes," and the ethical foundations of elite institutions collapse, the overriding concern becomes CONTROL.
There's nothing like a bogeyman & fostering fear and division to maintain CONTROL (if one's 'subjects' are conditioned to not think for themselves).
Ever since Covid, the (western) world seems one big franchise (remember all those „Covid expert panels“, who were all modeled identically?). You can see it in a myriad little things, for example how after the obviously stolen election in the U.S. there were suddenly many irregularities in the Berlin election (which now has to be repeated, partially, because of those irregularities).
It is really quite obvious that the ruling elite is one big club who is on one and the same information flow.
Ever since Covid? More evidence that it came from the same demented minds that found “yellow cake” and WMDs in Iraq, but gave sworn testimony that Hunter’s laptop was a hoax, planned the Covid control measures.
They are giving WHO power to make the process permanent like the Patriot Act made certain government was the biggest terrorist with undisciplined tentacles into every citizen’s privacy.
Absolutely...and that is my biggest fear: the lack of ability to develop even the smallest piece of awereness in, like, almost all other people except us.
I would not expect 388 comments on this fantastic piece here on substack, but 388 million comments would be more realistic to me when our utter existence appears to be at stake NOW
I think it’s our ability to self medicate. That also could lead to “ greater awareness”, but maybe more of the depressing kind. Or our addiction to gadgets & constant entertainment. We are looking to numb the reality we face. Not everyone, obviously, but a good majority. It still won’t make taking our guns away easy. Like I heard someone today say, “ we have more guns than feelings.” God please bless the U.S.A.
When you're up againt the Swamp and an entrenched political establishment, you kind of need a guy like Trump to confront it head on. A conventional playback won't work.
He is the great FU to the entrenched uniparty. We are learning quickly how unreasonably abused we are now. Most of us have been sick of it for decades, but just the same as the great pretending of Ulbricht and many others, some people have no idea, never learned and are now in a state of apathy. I hope President Trump will give the world a great shake up and wake up. He does need some well chosen guides and I pray for that to be
Biden is also a bully and he’s bullying YOU. And me and everyone else. He’s also spectacularly corrupt. I’ll take mean Tweets over enslavement any day.
Biden sometimes disappoints me, but has demonstrated at least several times that he's capable of acting as all politicians should; he responds in a positive manner to amassed public pressure, i.e.: our voices, when he's put a foot wrong. Not necessarily the definition of a bully.
I've heard that over and over again from lying neocon snakes like David Frum, but it's obvious Trump is risking a lot and has already lost a lot of money. I won't speculate on his motives.
Exactly. When the country needs to wake up and take decisive action, you need a nasty, cursing, swearing Drill Sergeant type to kick our asses out of bed. Not someone who worries about "hurting people's feelings". Think of Clint Eastwood in "Heartbreak Ridge". "Get out of bed!!!", "But Gunny, it's 5 in the morning!", "Oh yeah, well while you were getting your beauty sleep, Mr. I-Hate-America just popped you a new asshole in the middle of your forehead - GET MOVING!!!".
Because he has never actually come out against it, as far as I know. I suspect he knows now that this issue might be his "third rail," which is why he has quit bringing it up. But one problem Trump has is that he will never admit he is wrong about anything, or that perhaps he made a mistake.
Or perhaps as long as he doesn't admit it the Biden loving Democrats will still keep having the vaxxes. I did try and persuade some otherwise but they won't listen, they keep on being jabbed.
His claim that he “ saved millions” by getting the vax out fast may refer to quarantine camps that were set up to hold Covid “ positive” citizens. We may never know the truth about this. But, Wa. state has this and I know New York did too. Probably lots of states. Check out your Department of Health websites, & look under infectious disease control. A lot more businesses would have failed, obviously, if people were forced to quarantine, etc. This is a real thing, and still could happen. I had no idea the Department of Health. of Health had that power. ( even to utilize police & national guard, to force compliance) Do not comply.
Trump has demonstrated, on so many occasions, that his M.O. is squeezing as much as he can for himself out of the system, i.e.: the rest of us, and screaming like hell about how unfair it is, when the system pushes him back. The buck doesn't stop with him, except for those that he accumulates at every opportunity possible, legitimate or otherwise. Don't ever, without fail to your cost, mistake him for a public figure who'll ever take responsibility for anything, except perhaps for the fantasies created in his own imagination.
But he's likely one of those exceedingly rare politicians who came out poorer than when he went in. He needs to take lessons from the 10% Big Guy on how to do it.
you're just too arrogant and convinced of your own superiority to be able to see clearly... or to even WANT to see clearly. remember, the Stasi put plenty of "intelligent and sophisticated" people up against the wall in their day.
Yeah, it's all those, "Can't we all play nice?" TDS afflicted "Karens" who are obsessed with him not being "nice." we don't need nice, we need someone to start knocking heads. His opponents sure as hell aren't playing nice.
Yes. It's flabbergasting, for example, that the same people who send cluster bombs to Ukraine in contravention of international law accuse Trump of having a "flawed character." Trump on the campaign trail is full of harmless bluster. Meanwhile, the Democrats in power actually DO really bad things to real people.
RFK Jr. is a possibility. I disagree with a lot of his agenda (he’s way to cozy with the climate change catastrophizers) and his strident views on vaccines are off-putting (but he raises good points that must be debated in the open), but I sense that he is firmly on the side of traditional western Liberal democracy and personal freedoms. He is literally risking his life running for President. That’s why even HE is being characterized as a “right-wing extremist”. It’s nuts.
His campaign manager/daughter-in-law used to work for the CIA. He defended his father and uncle for using the FBI to go after MLK Jr. because "the politics demanded it."
Charismatic proxy politicians won't work. Rest assured, those types will tell you, "I'm right there with you!", but always end up diverted by their own personal interests. Rare is the politician, who stands up and hews to the real work of protecting the regular people. Look at Jim Jordan, who shows up for work in shirtsleeves and roars his defiance at the establishment. When the kids he coached needed his voice to stop the abuses they endured, he was nowhere to be seen. Or heard.
There's no substitute for people showing up; battles don't get battled, if nobody wants to show up. I have never been all that great at "showing up", but we (and I!) have no right to complain how bad things are being done to us, by the people we elected to government, and even some not elected, if we aren't out there, making them get to hate hearing the sound of all our voices.
The problem with JFK Jr., simply put, it that although he can clearly identify many of our most pressing problems, all of his solutions are just MORE big government. He, and many other well-meaning socialists have a Savior complex.
Agreed, but this is the perfect election for the US to find out if a third-party candidate could possibly be elected. Both the Dem and Rep. candidates are so awful. Neither party was willing or able to support something tolerable. Thus, a third option is necessary.
Unfortunately, our system has evolved to a point where the two parties have so much control over everything, even getting your message out to the electorate (the media having been completely co-opted by the establishment), that a third option sadly doesn’t have a chance. I applaud RFK Jr. for trying. And risking his life in doing so. (Biden refusing secret service protection to him is a transparent attempt to have him eliminated.) If he didn’t have the baggage of his past, his long-running (unfair) reputation of a vaccine nut, and (sadly) his unpleasant voice, he might have a better chance.
I agree 100%, except your view of him as a "vaccine nut". I think that he is asking very valid questions. It may be off-putting to many, but it is still a better stance than, say, being a pro-war neocon.
Omg. Better than Trump? Geeesh. No one else is blunt enough to speak out against the Marxists!!!
Kennedy is a climate change lunatic. Making China supply our energy needs is the goal!!!! That’s part of the great reset. Kennedy is an intelligence community asset protecting them.
Kennedy is Chinas dream candidate luring emotional people from both sides. They are promoting him on Tik Tok for a reason!!!!
RFK says a lot of the right things but you have to get past his abortion views, climate change beliefs & that he says that he wants to end fracking. He’s been pretty wobbly on these when pressed. Also - I don’t see his woke wife as First Lady material. She was quick to throw him under the bus to the msm when he was misquoted on a hitler reference.
hello non-fellow citizen. as long as you sit back looking for a “somebody” to fix “something” you’ll never get results. who am i to tell you what jefferson said about the tree of liberty so i won’t.
That kind of thinking is exactly how we got where we are. Trump Is The Answer! He’s not part of the f-ing cabal that has run our country in the ground. It’s not demonRat vs Republiturd. It’s freedom vs tyrannical “democracy.”
To suit their authoritarian ends, our Western 'leaders' have redefined democracy and created for themselves a new enemy: Us. The recent Tucker Carlson interview with Mike Benz lays it out, and I have no reason to doubt all that is revealed there.
I have listened to most of the Mike Benz interview. I will finish the last 15 minutes today. I'll probably listen to it again. It is one of the most information-packed interviews I've heard in awhile. It really puts the puzzle pieces together.
I've listened to it 4 times now(!) It makes sense of so much of what we learned from the Twitter files reporting and much else we've been seeing for some time now.
It also answers the obvious question: Why do all these 'leaders' use the same exact language to define their positions? Answer: They use language specifically created to comport with the legal frameworks they build to cloak their actions.
Shocking to think how deep this goes, and of the implications. The courts are our only defense now, it seems.
The more I read about it, the more I realize that I am, too, a Right-Wing Extremist™
And frankly I couldn't be more proud. Its a sad and dark world we seem to be living in, and frankly it looks like it will get much worse before it gets better, but I'm happy to know I'm on the right side of it
"In what follows, therefore, you must remember that references to “right-wing extremism” are nothing but smears for political opponents."
It is the same in the US, where each white person is called a racist three times before breakfast. After several years, your skin thickens and the insults lose all power. Or, given that the actual sources of our social problems are easy to identify, as long as you will be called a racist every day anyway, you resolve to become the very best racist you can possibly be.
In Canada our spy agency admitted yesterday they are surveying parental rights groups because they are potentially violent towards the alphabet people. God help us!
The racist epithet has lost its power. It's like Godwin's Law for being called a Nazi, but for being called a racist instead. It's so common place that at this point whoever trots it out first basically cedes the argument to the other side, effectively admitting that they have no real argument.
Easy to be labelled by your enemy. I didn't care much to bend over to get pharmacological agents injected into me during the covid plague era, but quicky I was labelled as anti "something". You know you have enemies when they label you so as to turn your friends and fellow citizens against you. Trust your government at your own risk, and life!
And who will silence or drive away the vile dissidents? An available sub-group. Who? The immigrants. Enthusiastically subjecting the dissidents to the desired level will get you a German passport. [What the powers that shouldn’t be will fail to anticipate?] When the dissidents are all silenced or driven out this poorly controlled mob of “new Germans” will turn on their controllers.
Too many voters have bought into the concept of tribalism, and support their "tribe" --aka their political party-- no matter what. They are incapable of independent thought.
It's so true. I was one of these programmed people. I remember one time hearing an unfamiliar issue. And I went to Google and typed, "what am I supposed to think about ______?"
I remember thinking that I didn't have time to research the topic myself, so I went to the internet to tell me what purported "experts" say.
It's embarrassing I was like that but it is important to look closely at this mentality to either crack it or evade it. I've been out of that crowd for awhile now and have learned quickly there's basically no way to pierce it in a quick interaction. But it is still possible. I'm saying this for your close friends and family who are under the spell. I was one of these jackasses.
A friend of mine went on a diatribe the other day about overpopulation/ climate change and how we should leave and give back the US to the Indians. After listening to this for a while, in a roundabout way I told her that well, when she dies, she'll be helping the cause. Her response?
"I don't plan on dying."
Or leaving the US. These are all things *others* should do.
The sad infants of the Internet age, cossetted zoo animals who imagine themselves as wild free-range beasts, are desperate to make some grand public righteous and radical gesture—as long as it doesn't interfere with their Amazon deliveries and binge watching.
It's probably for the best that they'll never realize they're dupes and puppets for people who hate them and that all the sugar-coated narratives they've swallowed have tricked them into thinking slavery is liberation.
A while back, I read a comment that stated most people aren't SUPPOSED to wake up. They're not able.
However, if a certain percentage DO wake up-- I think it was 20% to 30%-- they will be able to herd the "go along to get along" in the correct direction.
I translate that as: wake up those who are already on the road, let everyone else live in their fantasy. They will be herded later.
I think it's slowly happening. But.... it's not always who you think it is.
For example... we can't get any relatives on board. Can't get any of the smart set on board. However, I have a friend who was guilted into getting vaxxed who will never do it again. He's not a member of the smart set, but honestly, not sure if I want to be a member myself.
Your friend needs real problems. A bracing bout of starvation would do it. Or being abused just for being a woman, the norm in many parts of the world.
I suspect life is too cosy for many. They are kind of doubting Thomases. They forget how lucky we are and how rare civilization actually is.
Once you spend many years and many billions blasting out propaganda that declares: 1) all your political enemies are evil secret Hitlers; and 2) your nation and people and their history and traditions are illegitimate and based on bigotry and plunder, you fill enough people with hatred (self- and other-directed) and alienation that they become easy to manipulate and weaponize.
Everyone in the West who is university educated and managerial aspirant (and not explicitly conservative or religious) have been trained by their screens to believe that their future safety and prosperity depends upon obedience to their global-corporate masters and eliminationist hatred toward those who dissent. This is the new definition of Our Democracy™.
The postliberal technocratic Brave New World has arrived.
This struck me recently as odd: During nearly three years of Covid, as a German and as a historian, I learned more on the workings of fascism and the "Third Reich" than during school and university combined. And now, so close by, during nearly three years of "Traffic light" coalition, it's the same with the workings of socialism and the GDR. Especially telling how these phenomenons overlap, not only in time, but in the persons propagating the whole shit. Tells you a lot about totalitarianism in general and about your compatriots in special, lol.
Agree. One of the most shocking experiences of Covid has been seeing the people who supposedly know the most about 20th century history be completely impotent in recognizing totalitarianism as it happens in real time. Just boggling.
the goal of post-nazi education was the focus on “who”, not “what”. no curriculum ever taught along the lines of “the new fascism will call itself anti-fascism” but it was always “look, if he raises his arm and sais something antisemitic, he’s hitler reborn.”.
it was about focussing the public on legends instead of teaching method reconnaissance.
that’s how it was possible that globke became state secretary right after singing high about race laws.
germans are the most dumbed down sheep i’ve ever known relative to their education. and i’m german. it hurts.
Here they say Bidenomics is working, and publish little articles about how odd it is that so many don't seem to believe them. The proverbial, trite BIG LIE. Cars stretch for miles at food distribution sites, grocery bills are twice what they once were. Other metrics are horrendous.
“‘There are people out there who are not saying anything illegal but they have made themselves inconvenient anyway.’ ”
-------------------------------------
Geez. Don’t I know the feeling.
There’s no organized society anywhere on earth whose leaders don’t want to point their fingers at the variously inconvenient and scream witch! and hope the more convenient people can be made to agree.
How can we forget a past German leader whom we’re not to mention; who identified, demonized, dehumanized, brutalized & finally murdered millions who were characterized as the unclean enemy. These tyrants always need some group to pick on & blame for all their failures of leadership. The similarities are chilling.
One of the things that I've learned in American politics is that, in general, when Party X accuses Party Y of doing... SOMETHING, that something is what Party X is doing in reality.
So it would seem that the current government in Germany is admitting that they act like a criminal/mafia syndicate, that they are using "dark money," that they are using hatred and violence against those who disagree with them, that they use disinformation campaigns (lies/gaslighting) and that anyone who disagrees with them is essentially a criminal who has no rights.
It is easy to say "get out now." But where is there to go? There is nowhere to hide.
There are places to go. They aren't western liberal societies, but they aren't creating a new Gestapo either. Russia, India, Iran, Iceland, Hungary, Latin America, parts of Africa, parts of central and southern Asia too.
You will most likely need to learn a new language and adjust to a new culture. There isn't a back up Germany out there to retreat to, or a back up Europe or USA either.
If you want a germanic, western, liberal, industrialized democracy then you're going to have to save Germany from these tyrants.
At an evening of sketches, long ago at my first university, I recall an undergrad (to become a famous comedian) standing up at a stage podium to deliver, in cod-German accent, a speech about what "is now being done about people who'd served in the Nazi regime"; how the courts were working under new "focused legislation" to track down "these people" who are "everywhere"; how kindergartens, schools, colleges and universities were at last refining their recruitment and personnel policies to assist the state in recognising the "traits", often well-hidden, of "so-called" ex-Nazis; how businesses and local authorities and the media were winkling out "the guilty" at every level, working "fearlessly with discipline and efficient intelligence", to identify "the foulness in our midst...these people who infect our new Germany" with their "diseased sub-human thoughts". As the sketch continued the actor's initially sober voice grew heated. His words came faster, adjectives amplified and given deeper emphasis with rigid hand and then arm gestures. The sympathetic and virtuous figure who'd begun the speech had slowly transformed, growing grimmer, glistening, reddening, and in a grand finale, showing a face contorted into a mask of enthusiastic - almost joyful - rage; flecks of spittle reaching the front row of the audience; even a little foam at the mouth - near apoplexy, rage and hate personified "there will at last be a final solution to this problem!". The silence before the applause was deafening.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals."
-C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock: Essays on Theology (Making of Modern Theology)
That sounds so odd as I and several colleagues who were in the cancellation culture snare before it became popular had to watch former SS officers collecting their pension money from serving Germany under the third Reich. One particular SS retiree took great pleasure in an odd laugh he would make as he collected cash from the machine on the company campus. Of course this was in Bill Gates America and not on German soil but the German government was paying his pension.
The national socialist state survived long enough to start the war that destroyed it because opposition was suppressed and most opponents decided to go quiet in their own interests.
The German democratic state survived long enough for everyone to see what a failure communism is because opposition was suppressed and most opponents decided to go quiet in their own interests.
Now the federal Republic is going to suppress opposition, and ensure it is in the opponents best interests to go quiet.
What does anyone think they will do in the safe space thereby created for overweening government? It is not done because they wish go actually democratically deal with the wishes of the people.
And still, as with covid, there is (almost) nowhere the dissidents can go and live, whether quietly or as exile opposition.
Stalin and Hitler and their ilk actively encouraged enemies to leave. Idi Amin forced them to. At least in the early days and before absolute power was certain. Then it was the gulag and the death camp.
Global oligarchical collectivism makes emigration futile.
Uh, back in the States here, someone with whom I'm close was heard to say that going somewhere else would be a good option, but in Trudeau's parliamentary democracy up north, protesting truckers had their bank accounts shut down by their government. In sunny, faraway Australia, people were picked up on the streets and detained until they consented to receive unknowable biological substances injected into themselves, at which time they were presented with their very own "I'm Jabbed!" Ausweiss. When you stay home, meet like-minded people, write letters, protest and carry signs, have meetings and muck and grind it out on your own streets, it's your own home you're working to make be as it should. That may in the long run offer better potential outcomes than fleeing it all or praying for some charismatic, deeply flawed con-artist to make all of it right for you.
And the ten horns which thou sawest, are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but shall receive power as kings one hour after the beast. These have one design: and their strength and power they shall deliver to the beast — Revelation 17: 12-13
It's not a German phenomenon per se. It's happening across the entire West. Don't be blinded by thinking this is particularly German. It is vital to NATO that Germany be held in place. And the EU is nothing without NATO. It is a facade that would dissolve in one day without the military might of NATO behind it. These regimes in the West are all saying and doing the same thing ... liberal democracy, making the West safe for democracy, yada yada. Democracy is the codeword for protecting their grasp on power. Essentially, we are all living in the West under juntas. Their goal is complete control of the internet, by the way, to censor you into oblivion. To destroy your livelihood if necessary if you oppose them ... Why would they think twice about it? It is that simple. They are hysterically frightened of rightwing populism. These are regimes, these are juntas. They have their armies, their political police, their intelligence services, and their media are platforms for intelligence agency psy ops. That's what you're up against.
This is really scary, and I can see this coming to the US as the the push to remove Trump from ballots is the first step. Saving democracy by destroying democracy. I don't understand how people cannot see this, and how their policies, once put in place, could easily be used against them.
Here's a reason to laugh at these politicians right across the EU27 and UK. A known murderer from Albania did so in London, fled to Denmark, was captured, sent to UK prison, deported to Albania and... after 6 years of a life-sentence, was out. Exactly as predicted.
He went on to 'trade' cars, money, women and drugs across Belgium, Italy and more until a rival gang shot him dead whilst in Albania. In public.
This is not unique. At no point did this man ever have real EU28 / EU27 / UK documents. At no point did he have the right to stay in any European country. He inflicted real harm on everyone he met.
So, we the little people, should be frightened of the fools who would call themselves better than us. Yet real crime goes on all around us, sponsored by the very same fools.
The last time I just skimmed what the official procedure is in Germany for deportation, I could not even manage my default WTF cynical smile of disgust. Goes something like ... they give the guy a letter that says ... Now you have been a very naughty young man. We have told you repeatedly that you are not permitted to come in here. And you have come back now several times. So here is the final warning. You had better leave now or you are going to be in very big trouble. Yeah, like you say, guy who has been a hardened criminal since he was 14 ... his knees are shaking. Pathetic. Long time ago, Camille Paglia said in a video about this amazing weakness of the west, our overcivilized dying west ... she made the standard comparison to the fall of Rome ... and that (today) barbarians are once again massing on the frontiers, watching intently, for they have no such inhibtions as ours. They prize violence, conquest, plunder, subjugation. She got my attention.
Thank you for this Andrew. AND these fools have virtually ZERO change of being assaulted, robbed at knifepoit, raped etc. As a friend once said, once these people are in the club, they are set for life, their familes .... subject to none of our everyday fears or worries. There are no burglaries in Angel Merkel's "neighborhood". A great fantasy of mine is to imagine that the election comes and like 8% of the electorate turns out to vote. Would be interesting to see how they would "spin" that one :)
Sadly no. None of us did any 'business' - one member of the family became entangled romantically, and the rest is history. It was startling to see this level of criminality - not only this Albanian but his entire extended family. Nasty industrial scale crooks.
Romantically sounds like a sad state. These type with very rare exceptions have no concept of what being of complementary natures means.
That the reality of our complementarity comes from the only source, God, and His interior loving community nature is entirely lost.
This is why these types and South American piracy schooled in American gangsterism can use such truly misanthropic and unholy scourges like gender ideology for political leverage.
Faeser: "I would like to treat right-wing extremist networks in the same way as organised crime." What a relief! We have nothing to worry about! Crime is not punished in Germany at all! IMO one very real potential threat percolating beneath the surface in German society ... real "dissidents" ... are the immigrant "clans", i.e. organized crime families that have become firmly rooted in Germany . German law enforcement would not have the vaguest idea of how to combat them. Nor the will to do so. But if you don't pay your cable bill for the state propaganda ministry, or let off steam on Substack. Then you can go to jail.
Yeah, RICO was quite successful in the States. But who knows what they can do or who is helping who. I could well imagine though, that if the crime families in Germany were really being put under pressure, if their "soldiers" and bosses were being locked up with long sentences, we would know it. How? Like in Sweden, the clans in Germany would start waging outright war. They have ZERO fear of anything in Germany, including law enforcement. That's why they chose to settle in Germany, because it is a paradise for criminals. The thing to remember about the German press is that crime in the entire country has traditionally been extremely underreported. Keeps the taxpayers pacified.
You can pretty much replace "Germany" with "Sweden" for any of Eugyppius' articles dealing with german politics.
Currently, the Socialist Democrat party is advocating for some kind of pre-broadcast censorship, including rules for who would be allowed to have a pod or similar at all.
The reason for this is one man, Henrik Jönsson who's an entrepreneur from Lund, and who has been doing in-depth analyses of the current and historical consequences et cetera of the rule of the Socialist Democrat party.
Which they aren't used to and don't understand how to handle, except for censorship, deplatforming, and weaponising the courts against him.
And when one party has ruled a nation for almost three quarters of a century, at times with 50%+ of the vote, you better believe there's dirt to find - though in fairness to the party, 95% of the dirt is from post-1980s period.
eugyppius, what exactly do these "protectors of democracy" say the AfD would do if they won an election? Do they state that AfD would abolish elections, persecute opponents, prohibit the expression of viewpoints they disagree with? What, exactly? Do they ever specify?
No, very often they never say. In fact the AfD repeatedly complain that they're never even told by the political police why they are suspected of or classified as being right-wing extremists.
Mr. Eugyppius Man, have you not seen yet the Benz on Carlson´s X interview? AfD gets an honorable mention... Among others. Respectfully, Your avid reader, Tomasz.
Consider Democrat's accusations of Trump's 'insurrection.' Trump has never been charged for the crime of 'insurrection' let alone convicted. Yet various state legislators are removing him from their Presidential ballots on the basis of something he has neither been convicted nor charged with. The very definition of a 'thought crime.' It is incredible that these cases make it through any court without the judge asking where the conviction is. Instead, all of these cases end up at the U.S. Supreme Court. This is Lewis Carroll's famous fallacy: Sentence first, verdict afterwards.
Remember Margaret Thatcher's comment: "You can vote in socialism BUT you have to SHOOT your way out!"
Yup. Ideas so good that they have to be made mandatory.
Instructive scene from the classic 1953 WWII movie, Stalag 17. Anti-bullying 101:

“Six-hundred funny men”
They want us cowering in fear, isolated, looking out for our own necks. Which means we must do the opposite. Like how gazelle herds survive crossing rivers with lions and alligators lurking. Alone they are weak. Together they are strong. Everybody should declare "I am a right wing extremist." A montage video of grandmothers, children, multi-ethnics, corporate, laborer, a montage that is impossible to look like the face of anti-democratic hate. "Six-hundred funny people." That's how freedom prevails.
There's safety in numbers. Hiding away to protect oneself allows a pack of hungry predators to devour the prey, growing more and more voracious. Until there are no more prey left, picked off while on their solo fearful journeys, weak, cowering, until they meet their demise they only delayed by trying to hide. Own it. Like many own "deplorables" in the US. Turn it into a positive.
Stasi time - it’s hard to be positive when so many idiots don’t have a clue what’s happening
"Ich ben ein Rechtsextremistisch"
Better than a left wing extremist!
FIRE!
LGBFJB+
LOL!
Ultra Maga Forces Unite! Haha
“I am a right wing extremist”
So true. But we can't count on everyone doing, so we need a strategy to fight this even if we're on our own.
They got us to shut up about our politics in the past because they shamed us, they got us to shut up with the corona, the lockdowns, and the vax because they made us afraid of being mocked and cancelled. And now that we're so on to them for both of these schemes, they want to destroy us completely. We need a really good strategy.
Just like the death jabs!
Exactly. Voila...Jabracadabra!
Geez. I'm still pinching myself that I'm living at this time in history.
I've always known this is how it goes...but it's like having kids...you don't get it until it happens to you.
It's on us, and up to us...I hope it's in us.
Hi Ryan, I agree. I’m not even sure what ALL of it means yet. Or maybe I question what it doesn’t mean? IT MEANS EVERYTHING RIGHT?!! Oh man were you right about the book you recommended, “ Behind The Green Mask” by Rosa Koire. You told me about it, I think? That was a few years ago. It’s in full swing here in the N.W., most cities, Lahaina! 🙈 Most have no idea. I’m working to spread the truth,… about everything. I love Substack & have learned so much in 4 years. And from smart readers like you. Any doubt in humanity has been eased by the words I read here.
We are strong people & our faith in God is even stronger.
Esther 4:14
“ Perhaps you were created for a time such as this. “
In Wa. state, our Board of Health voted & changed wording to make previous HIV quarantine camps, into pandemic camps. A
“ pandemic”, much like the fake Covid virus, is anything “ they” determine it to be. They have elaborated on this even more. Make sure and read “ non- compliance”. That’s where I’ll be. 😂 No fear, Do not Comply.

Amen brother!
Indeed. That particular hatred of the immigrants just happens to have its own sordid history here in Europe. The gay killing and the wife beating are more distant and alien, so they aren't getting the coverage. And you will note the observation adult Pakistani men having sex with young girls has been reduced to "grooming gangs" and considered all but acceptable. They don't dwell on the realities of it.
And yet we still get the Queers for Palestine, RadFems for Undocumented Third World Men with no wives and a quite different view of the fairer sex. I mean, what do you do with them? Surely we have to let reality bite so they get the message.
Tuckers latest interview describes exactly what is going on. The democratic institutions are defending themselves in the name of protecting democracy.
https://tuckercarlson.com/uncensored-the-national-security-state-the-inversion-of-democracy/
It's an excellent interview even for folks who have carefully tracked the surveillance and censorship powers over decades. Fascinating pinpointed shift w State Dept leap to Atlantic Council after Trump's 2016 election took control from insider cabal.
Must watch 10 min riff it moves fast & covers alot from @ 27min
DHS made an American SS by tweaking definitions for cybersecurity.. Outward facing propaganda ops shifted to target Americans w NATO allies & pressured EU to pass censorship laws.. Time honored work around to legal obstacles NATO & NGO Mafia. ..Congress shall make no law K-Street pros can't backdoor & loophole... fantastic interview!
This is a must watch.
Absolutely. Watch, share, and bookmark.
This is absolutely must watch! 💯
The transcript is available from several sites including Tucker Carlson. Another site, conservativewoman.co.uk, has published the transcript as a series of 5 articles.
> The democratic institutions are defending themselves in the name of protecting democracy.
Fun fact: if you strolled into just the right fragment of the Internet 10-15 years ago, you would have known this happened. It's the "I, robot" kind of a robot uprising, just without any robots. People who obey their legal mandates are merely bio-robots and are just as prone to Gone Horribly Right as actual AI-controlled robots.
They seemed to have developed a workaround for the whole "vot(ing) in" problem as well. As per usual.
Don't worry the election will be "fortified".
Safe & effective too!
In order to live your life ,you must elect yourself .
Amen Joe!
Very good point!
How do we fix this? There are peaceful solutions.
We need to fix our systems. We need a trustworthy place to go and debate, problem solve, and error correct. These systems of government and 3 letter agencies are all captured.
Our systems are corrupted. We need to build new ones. Transparent ones. Decentralized ones. Trustworthy ones. Like this:
https://open.substack.com/pub/joshketry/p/how-to-fix-corrupt-government-in?r=7oa9d&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
Unfortunately, it's not possible to build a political system free from corruption, especially if your society is corrupt. Corruption always finds a way. Fiddling with the dials on the machine is fruitless.
The only way to have a reasonably clean State is to get rid of it. Even then, a mostly homogeneous society with strong morality is your only chance to live free.
People overlook the homogeneous part all too readily. Only Western nations have opened up and attempted to cope with many cultures. At some level it must be understood it will fail given the label, multiculturalism. Multiple cultures in one place always means violence.
And yet I see no awareness of this basic historical observation. Even when ethnic mafias are seen to take over councils people seem oblivious.
Fascinating idea that multiculturalism is incompatible with democracy. What do we do about immigration?
Adopt the culture or don't come. It's not about color of the person. Immigration needs to be controlled.
Immigration and migration is not the same .
We stop it, we deport illegals immediately. Withdraw all welfare for immigrants. End financial support for legal aid to asylum seekers; that is for natives, not foreigners. Get a list of those being funded from overseas who are working to promote open borders and try them for treason.
Once that is done you make an announcement. This is Country X. Here is how we do things here. If you cannot assimilate within two to three generations, we will repatriate you.
That is how you do it. Withdrawing welfare alone will change the game. The immigrants themselves tell us this.
We or better yet the politicians could learn something of life in a zoo .We don't put lions and lambs together in a zoo ,for simple reasons .The same goes for putting people of very different cultures together for simple reasons not to .
How about we go back to the consent of the governed?
Thank you Robbin!
It seems that politics attracts the easily (not to say, enthusiastically) corrupted. The ratio of people who leave politics substantially richer than when they entered to those who don't must be 100's to 1, 1000's even. Donald Trump is probably one of those rare beasts who came out poorer.
Breath-takingly uninformed last sentence! President Trump seemed not to understand, let alone observe the principle of "blind trust" when it came to overseeing the operation of his holdings, even as he held the highest office in the land. He also never seemed to miss an opportunity to pad his companies' bottom lines, especially in the course of dealing with foreign nations, who seemed only too happy to play along by almost exclusively booking the services of the Trump hospitality operations. Making a buck was always Number One to Mr. Trump and he apparently saw no need to curtail that impulse when he became President of the United States.
Let’s see some actual cases and figures. They investigated every aspect of this guys life, made his tax returns public all while Nancy Pelosi and pals made themselves immune to IRS audits.
Just wondering what your reliable source might be. Hunter Biden?
We will all have been enslaved (passively) and the opportunity to do this or to make it make a difference will be long past before it happens, considering the rate at which things are moving. See the Mike Benz interview with Tucker Carlson.
The problem is not the system(s). The problem is the people. Every group of individuals gets the leader they deserve. The more authentic/aware/critical thinking etcetera those individuals each are, the less powerfull their leader is. Without sheepy people, selfish people no leader is necessary.
And please consider this before thinking an unequality in power is possible to fix anyway.
'Something that is not broken, cannot be fixed' they say
And, if it should be possible to fix, why would we, starting profoundly overthinking the theoretical concept of a society without presence of sheepy-, sellfish-, greedy-, mentally unhealthy people, in which, in my opinion, 'leaders' actually would not even exist at all.
try reading charles eisenstein for some hope. in his first and completely unexpected foray into politics he's working with RFK Jr.
It has been written that no government has withstood a peaceful rising up of 3.5% of its population.
Best quote I've heard in a while.
“I've been describing over the course of this in order to have an internal mechanism to sensor anything that the eu, which is just a proxy for NATO deems to be disinformation. And you can bet with 65 elections around the globe this year, you can predict every single time what they're going to define disinformation as. So that's the main fight right now is dealing with the transatlantic flank attack from Europe.” -Benz

https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/the-end-of-democracy-what-im-describing
That's a fabulous quote!....and especially if it came from Mrs T.
I am not a German citizen but I recognise the signs here well enough. I have lived through a 50 year long period watching how 'progressively' every public and private part our culture has been captured by a virtually unchallengeable 'social justice’ clerisy.
The grim truth is that our post-war democratic pluralism is now just a farce. It has made problems for itself to which it has no credible solution. And so we must wait for some new political arrangements to emerge - whatever these may be.
Too bad the Germans gave up their guns. Maybe they can borrow some from the Swiss...
Someone dug into history and posted that every major facist movement ( dictator controlled govenment) first removed the guns from the population. Can't remember all the countries but Germany in the 1930's was definately one of them.
Challenge accepted
Across western democracies, as the individual gained power (via the internet) to expose the "emperor's new clothes," and the ethical foundations of elite institutions collapse, the overriding concern becomes CONTROL.
There's nothing like a bogeyman & fostering fear and division to maintain CONTROL (if one's 'subjects' are conditioned to not think for themselves).
The same playbook is being deployed all across the west. It's not hard to recognize the pattern. Once you see it, it cannot be unseen.
Ever since Covid, the (western) world seems one big franchise (remember all those „Covid expert panels“, who were all modeled identically?). You can see it in a myriad little things, for example how after the obviously stolen election in the U.S. there were suddenly many irregularities in the Berlin election (which now has to be repeated, partially, because of those irregularities).
It is really quite obvious that the ruling elite is one big club who is on one and the same information flow.
Well said! Precisely. They have been operating in lockstep.
So obvious. Beyond baffling that people don't see it.
Fear and conformism act like veils over the eyes.
One can't do baffling and seeing at the same time ,it's one or the other .
Exactly.
Consensus is a shortcut to chains.
They are afraid of us. This is why they’re coming down so hard and obviously throwing elections.
People are awakening and realize they ARE in a Matrix already.
Most of them go back to sleep, it is soooo convenient ...
Ever since Covid? More evidence that it came from the same demented minds that found “yellow cake” and WMDs in Iraq, but gave sworn testimony that Hunter’s laptop was a hoax, planned the Covid control measures.
They are giving WHO power to make the process permanent like the Patriot Act made certain government was the biggest terrorist with undisciplined tentacles into every citizen’s privacy.
It absolutely is. The Western Our Democracies do not belong to us, and are not remotely democratic.
People never learn do they?
Bondage is default.
History is clear on this.
Absolutely...and that is my biggest fear: the lack of ability to develop even the smallest piece of awereness in, like, almost all other people except us.
I would not expect 388 comments on this fantastic piece here on substack, but 388 million comments would be more realistic to me when our utter existence appears to be at stake NOW
Does our ability to mythologize hold us back or is it the key to greater awareness?
I think it’s our ability to self medicate. That also could lead to “ greater awareness”, but maybe more of the depressing kind. Or our addiction to gadgets & constant entertainment. We are looking to numb the reality we face. Not everyone, obviously, but a good majority. It still won’t make taking our guns away easy. Like I heard someone today say, “ we have more guns than feelings.” God please bless the U.S.A.
One would hope that we in the U.S. could find a better alternative than Trump, but so far it seems not.
When you're up againt the Swamp and an entrenched political establishment, you kind of need a guy like Trump to confront it head on. A conventional playback won't work.
Agree.
He is the great FU to the entrenched uniparty. We are learning quickly how unreasonably abused we are now. Most of us have been sick of it for decades, but just the same as the great pretending of Ulbricht and many others, some people have no idea, never learned and are now in a state of apathy. I hope President Trump will give the world a great shake up and wake up. He does need some well chosen guides and I pray for that to be
Be careful what you pray for, Rosemary. Or make the plan that you're praying for so detailed and all-encompassing that all eventualities are covered.
Trump is no leader. He is a bully who is only in it for himself.
Biden is also a bully and he’s bullying YOU. And me and everyone else. He’s also spectacularly corrupt. I’ll take mean Tweets over enslavement any day.
spot on Diana
Amen.
One can only be a politician if he,she is corrupt .Politics without corruption is not possible .
Biden sometimes disappoints me, but has demonstrated at least several times that he's capable of acting as all politicians should; he responds in a positive manner to amassed public pressure, i.e.: our voices, when he's put a foot wrong. Not necessarily the definition of a bully.
u will LOVE Michelle Obama !
You mean "Michael Robinson"?....
I want nothing to do with her husband.
I've heard that over and over again from lying neocon snakes like David Frum, but it's obvious Trump is risking a lot and has already lost a lot of money. I won't speculate on his motives.
please share some examples that he is in this for himself.
I would love to know
That's what we said in 2016 and 2020 but it seems like the Swamp uber alles in the U.S. as well as in Germany.
It's a big swamp...
why does the swamp exist? because the people have let it grow. delivery in line with order.
Big Government can't exist without the swamp.
And the swamp can't exist unless we let it.
The reptiles guarding us would die without the swamp .
Not a bad plan.
Exactly. When the country needs to wake up and take decisive action, you need a nasty, cursing, swearing Drill Sergeant type to kick our asses out of bed. Not someone who worries about "hurting people's feelings". Think of Clint Eastwood in "Heartbreak Ridge". "Get out of bed!!!", "But Gunny, it's 5 in the morning!", "Oh yeah, well while you were getting your beauty sleep, Mr. I-Hate-America just popped you a new asshole in the middle of your forehead - GET MOVING!!!".
I tried.
https://alphaandomegacloud.wordpress.com/2021/02/04/joe-biden-the-first-13-days/
Disagree!
Trump is just another Oligarch
and You are being played
You are right .It's amazing to me that in a nation like the U.S ,the best that can be found is Donald Trump ,the warp speed man .
hey, correct me if I'm wrong, but NO MSM accusation that Trump is a so-called "anti-vaxxxer".... why?....
Because he has never actually come out against it, as far as I know. I suspect he knows now that this issue might be his "third rail," which is why he has quit bringing it up. But one problem Trump has is that he will never admit he is wrong about anything, or that perhaps he made a mistake.
So he's finally graduated to being a 'proper' politician then?
Or perhaps as long as he doesn't admit it the Biden loving Democrats will still keep having the vaxxes. I did try and persuade some otherwise but they won't listen, they keep on being jabbed.
His claim that he “ saved millions” by getting the vax out fast may refer to quarantine camps that were set up to hold Covid “ positive” citizens. We may never know the truth about this. But, Wa. state has this and I know New York did too. Probably lots of states. Check out your Department of Health websites, & look under infectious disease control. A lot more businesses would have failed, obviously, if people were forced to quarantine, etc. This is a real thing, and still could happen. I had no idea the Department of Health. of Health had that power. ( even to utilize police & national guard, to force compliance) Do not comply.
Depending on someone like Trump to protect the integrity of your political system feels to me like a thought oxymoron.
Compared to his political opponents, Donald Trump is the equivalent of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin combined.
Precisely. He wants to destroy the political system that’s intent on destroying all that we have held dear for hundreds of years. #VoteTrunp!
Trump has demonstrated, on so many occasions, that his M.O. is squeezing as much as he can for himself out of the system, i.e.: the rest of us, and screaming like hell about how unfair it is, when the system pushes him back. The buck doesn't stop with him, except for those that he accumulates at every opportunity possible, legitimate or otherwise. Don't ever, without fail to your cost, mistake him for a public figure who'll ever take responsibility for anything, except perhaps for the fantasies created in his own imagination.
But he's likely one of those exceedingly rare politicians who came out poorer than when he went in. He needs to take lessons from the 10% Big Guy on how to do it.
you're just too arrogant and convinced of your own superiority to be able to see clearly... or to even WANT to see clearly. remember, the Stasi put plenty of "intelligent and sophisticated" people up against the wall in their day.
If you can find someone with a backbone who can stand up to marxism, please let me know. I'm tired of those who are "offended"by his personality.
Yeah, it's all those, "Can't we all play nice?" TDS afflicted "Karens" who are obsessed with him not being "nice." we don't need nice, we need someone to start knocking heads. His opponents sure as hell aren't playing nice.
We need someone who will insist laws are enforced, starting with illegal migration.
Yes. It's flabbergasting, for example, that the same people who send cluster bombs to Ukraine in contravention of international law accuse Trump of having a "flawed character." Trump on the campaign trail is full of harmless bluster. Meanwhile, the Democrats in power actually DO really bad things to real people.
You, sir, are 100% correct!
Bingo
EXACTLY.
RFK Jr. is a possibility. I disagree with a lot of his agenda (he’s way to cozy with the climate change catastrophizers) and his strident views on vaccines are off-putting (but he raises good points that must be debated in the open), but I sense that he is firmly on the side of traditional western Liberal democracy and personal freedoms. He is literally risking his life running for President. That’s why even HE is being characterized as a “right-wing extremist”. It’s nuts.
Never will have enough support.His wife is a Hollywood socialist.
His campaign manager/daughter-in-law used to work for the CIA. He defended his father and uncle for using the FBI to go after MLK Jr. because "the politics demanded it."
He ain't no friend to nobody.
Charismatic proxy politicians won't work. Rest assured, those types will tell you, "I'm right there with you!", but always end up diverted by their own personal interests. Rare is the politician, who stands up and hews to the real work of protecting the regular people. Look at Jim Jordan, who shows up for work in shirtsleeves and roars his defiance at the establishment. When the kids he coached needed his voice to stop the abuses they endured, he was nowhere to be seen. Or heard.
There's no substitute for people showing up; battles don't get battled, if nobody wants to show up. I have never been all that great at "showing up", but we (and I!) have no right to complain how bad things are being done to us, by the people we elected to government, and even some not elected, if we aren't out there, making them get to hate hearing the sound of all our voices.
We can strike a blow for liberty by showing up for a wretched dilettante princeling like RFK Jr.?
As the meme has it--oh honey no.
I don't know how a third party candidate can succeed in governing even if elected in our system.
If you can get a hold of a copy, watch the "Designated Survivor" Series. There is hope!
I like and respect RFK Jr as well, but agree that he is not right on everything.
Biggest problem with him running as a third party candidate is that he will likely split the vote the wrong way, much like Ross Perot did in 1992.
The problem with JFK Jr., simply put, it that although he can clearly identify many of our most pressing problems, all of his solutions are just MORE big government. He, and many other well-meaning socialists have a Savior complex.
Agreed.
I wish JFK Jr. well in his campaign for president, but he doesn't understand that the best way to help individual Americans is to leave them alone.
Agreed, but this is the perfect election for the US to find out if a third-party candidate could possibly be elected. Both the Dem and Rep. candidates are so awful. Neither party was willing or able to support something tolerable. Thus, a third option is necessary.
Unfortunately, our system has evolved to a point where the two parties have so much control over everything, even getting your message out to the electorate (the media having been completely co-opted by the establishment), that a third option sadly doesn’t have a chance. I applaud RFK Jr. for trying. And risking his life in doing so. (Biden refusing secret service protection to him is a transparent attempt to have him eliminated.) If he didn’t have the baggage of his past, his long-running (unfair) reputation of a vaccine nut, and (sadly) his unpleasant voice, he might have a better chance.
I agree 100%, except your view of him as a "vaccine nut". I think that he is asking very valid questions. It may be off-putting to many, but it is still a better stance than, say, being a pro-war neocon.
No, his vaccine views deserve discussion. But he is a climate nut.
I don’t think he is a vaccine nut. I’m saying he is portrayed that way and known to the average person that way. Unfairly .
He’s not a possibility. He is part of the system wake the f up.
You need to TM catastrophizers!
Lol. The rest are pro China globalists. Lol.
Omg. Better than Trump? Geeesh. No one else is blunt enough to speak out against the Marxists!!!
Kennedy is a climate change lunatic. Making China supply our energy needs is the goal!!!! That’s part of the great reset. Kennedy is an intelligence community asset protecting them.
Kennedy is Chinas dream candidate luring emotional people from both sides. They are promoting him on Tik Tok for a reason!!!!
RFK says a lot of the right things but you have to get past his abortion views, climate change beliefs & that he says that he wants to end fracking. He’s been pretty wobbly on these when pressed. Also - I don’t see his woke wife as First Lady material. She was quick to throw him under the bus to the msm when he was misquoted on a hitler reference.
I agree 100% on Kennedy.
hello non-fellow citizen. as long as you sit back looking for a “somebody” to fix “something” you’ll never get results. who am i to tell you what jefferson said about the tree of liberty so i won’t.
Agreed. A sad state of affairs, indeed.
That kind of thinking is exactly how we got where we are. Trump Is The Answer! He’s not part of the f-ing cabal that has run our country in the ground. It’s not demonRat vs Republiturd. It’s freedom vs tyrannical “democracy.”
u obviously are completely lost in every conceivable way.
To suit their authoritarian ends, our Western 'leaders' have redefined democracy and created for themselves a new enemy: Us. The recent Tucker Carlson interview with Mike Benz lays it out, and I have no reason to doubt all that is revealed there.
I have listened to most of the Mike Benz interview. I will finish the last 15 minutes today. I'll probably listen to it again. It is one of the most information-packed interviews I've heard in awhile. It really puts the puzzle pieces together.
I've listened to it 4 times now(!) It makes sense of so much of what we learned from the Twitter files reporting and much else we've been seeing for some time now.
It also answers the obvious question: Why do all these 'leaders' use the same exact language to define their positions? Answer: They use language specifically created to comport with the legal frameworks they build to cloak their actions.
Shocking to think how deep this goes, and of the implications. The courts are our only defense now, it seems.

The more I read about it, the more I realize that I am, too, a Right-Wing Extremist™
And frankly I couldn't be more proud. Its a sad and dark world we seem to be living in, and frankly it looks like it will get much worse before it gets better, but I'm happy to know I'm on the right side of it
I used to be a moderate. Now I'm a crazy person with a gun. I did not change, but the world sure has.
Yes. The world has changed, and so I have adapted.
"In what follows, therefore, you must remember that references to “right-wing extremism” are nothing but smears for political opponents."
It is the same in the US, where each white person is called a racist three times before breakfast. After several years, your skin thickens and the insults lose all power. Or, given that the actual sources of our social problems are easy to identify, as long as you will be called a racist every day anyway, you resolve to become the very best racist you can possibly be.
In Canada our spy agency admitted yesterday they are surveying parental rights groups because they are potentially violent towards the alphabet people. God help us!
The racist epithet has lost its power. It's like Godwin's Law for being called a Nazi, but for being called a racist instead. It's so common place that at this point whoever trots it out first basically cedes the argument to the other side, effectively admitting that they have no real argument.
Remember the prediction. Just now being called racist prompts people to say, no I'm not.
Soon it will be, so what?
Then it may well be, thanks for noticing.
Their constant hassling has an effect even on nice people.
The proper response is "go fuck yourself".
Yup. 100%.
"you resolve to become the very best racist you can possibly be"
This is what Walter Russell Mead pointed out in his Wall Street Journal column in 2016.
To paraphrase, he asserted that middle America had concluded, "Well, if I'm a 'racist,' I might as well make the most of it!"
Anybody who cherishes the classical liberal values that built the west is now a far right enemy of the state, or so it seems.
The current democratic party has abandoned their old virtuous ideals and is now the party for elite governance and genocide.
Both parties support elite governance and genocide. Politics is theater for slaves. Long since captured by the powerful.
BOOM

Easy to be labelled by your enemy. I didn't care much to bend over to get pharmacological agents injected into me during the covid plague era, but quicky I was labelled as anti "something". You know you have enemies when they label you so as to turn your friends and fellow citizens against you. Trust your government at your own risk, and life!
And who will silence or drive away the vile dissidents? An available sub-group. Who? The immigrants. Enthusiastically subjecting the dissidents to the desired level will get you a German passport. [What the powers that shouldn’t be will fail to anticipate?] When the dissidents are all silenced or driven out this poorly controlled mob of “new Germans” will turn on their controllers.
Yes. Another group of the power hungry who believe that history will not repeat itself.
Welcome to the club.
Welcome to sanity vs authoritarian socialism.
Too many voters in both the US and the EU openly support this kind of totalitarian rhetoric. It's chilling.
Too many voters have bought into the concept of tribalism, and support their "tribe" --aka their political party-- no matter what. They are incapable of independent thought.
It's so true. I was one of these programmed people. I remember one time hearing an unfamiliar issue. And I went to Google and typed, "what am I supposed to think about ______?"
I remember thinking that I didn't have time to research the topic myself, so I went to the internet to tell me what purported "experts" say.
It's embarrassing I was like that but it is important to look closely at this mentality to either crack it or evade it. I've been out of that crowd for awhile now and have learned quickly there's basically no way to pierce it in a quick interaction. But it is still possible. I'm saying this for your close friends and family who are under the spell. I was one of these jackasses.
Congratulations on waking up. It's a bit of a shock until one gets used to the light.
Nailed it.
This is true of every sorting label people use for themselves. Since the invention of thought.
They are emotionally Jr highers, the tribe above all.
The people you are referring to would support literally ANYTHING as long as it does not in the slightest inconvenience them personally.
I wish I could disagree with you, but I cannot.
A friend of mine went on a diatribe the other day about overpopulation/ climate change and how we should leave and give back the US to the Indians. After listening to this for a while, in a roundabout way I told her that well, when she dies, she'll be helping the cause. Her response?
"I don't plan on dying."
Or leaving the US. These are all things *others* should do.
She's insane.
Well said!
reminds me of Woody Allen, "I plan on living forever, and so far, my plan is working".
The sad infants of the Internet age, cossetted zoo animals who imagine themselves as wild free-range beasts, are desperate to make some grand public righteous and radical gesture—as long as it doesn't interfere with their Amazon deliveries and binge watching.
It's probably for the best that they'll never realize they're dupes and puppets for people who hate them and that all the sugar-coated narratives they've swallowed have tricked them into thinking slavery is liberation.
A while back, I read a comment that stated most people aren't SUPPOSED to wake up. They're not able.
However, if a certain percentage DO wake up-- I think it was 20% to 30%-- they will be able to herd the "go along to get along" in the correct direction.
I translate that as: wake up those who are already on the road, let everyone else live in their fantasy. They will be herded later.
5% to stand up and bring 15% to the dance floor is all it takes.
I think it's slowly happening. But.... it's not always who you think it is.
For example... we can't get any relatives on board. Can't get any of the smart set on board. However, I have a friend who was guilted into getting vaxxed who will never do it again. He's not a member of the smart set, but honestly, not sure if I want to be a member myself.
The experts agree; Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Pol Pot, Kim Jong.
But don't worry the kids are learning addition by trading one endless war for three.
Your friend needs real problems. A bracing bout of starvation would do it. Or being abused just for being a woman, the norm in many parts of the world.
I suspect life is too cosy for many. They are kind of doubting Thomases. They forget how lucky we are and how rare civilization actually is.
With friends like that, why have enemies? At least, you should try to find someone who can think...will make your life less stressful...
Generally, she's not like that. I put it under the "having a bad day" category.
That being said, there are topics I can't discuss with certain people. And... it's OK.
“They always have a plan until they get punched in the face.”
Your “friend” is a moron!
So she doesn't mind others dying for the tribe as long as she doesn't die for the tribe, hence a die a tribe. :)
Oh my, what a funny story. haha haha
Yes they are begging for it. I mean half the US will vote for the first president in history to be declared legally incompetent to stand trial.
Once you spend many years and many billions blasting out propaganda that declares: 1) all your political enemies are evil secret Hitlers; and 2) your nation and people and their history and traditions are illegitimate and based on bigotry and plunder, you fill enough people with hatred (self- and other-directed) and alienation that they become easy to manipulate and weaponize.
Everyone in the West who is university educated and managerial aspirant (and not explicitly conservative or religious) have been trained by their screens to believe that their future safety and prosperity depends upon obedience to their global-corporate masters and eliminationist hatred toward those who dissent. This is the new definition of Our Democracy™.
The postliberal technocratic Brave New World has arrived.
The masses are unpolitical. They will always support the popular and socially accepted narrative.
because they’re just plain dumb, lazy, or both. it’s the same people who got vaxxed. sad that the vax is not working properly.
Oh but it is working perfectly...;)
Absolutely! The Sacred Miracle Elixir is a huge success!
Brilliant!
This struck me recently as odd: During nearly three years of Covid, as a German and as a historian, I learned more on the workings of fascism and the "Third Reich" than during school and university combined. And now, so close by, during nearly three years of "Traffic light" coalition, it's the same with the workings of socialism and the GDR. Especially telling how these phenomenons overlap, not only in time, but in the persons propagating the whole shit. Tells you a lot about totalitarianism in general and about your compatriots in special, lol.
Agree. One of the most shocking experiences of Covid has been seeing the people who supposedly know the most about 20th century history be completely impotent in recognizing totalitarianism as it happens in real time. Just boggling.
the goal of post-nazi education was the focus on “who”, not “what”. no curriculum ever taught along the lines of “the new fascism will call itself anti-fascism” but it was always “look, if he raises his arm and sais something antisemitic, he’s hitler reborn.”.
it was about focussing the public on legends instead of teaching method reconnaissance.
that’s how it was possible that globke became state secretary right after singing high about race laws.
germans are the most dumbed down sheep i’ve ever known relative to their education. and i’m german. it hurts.
Agree. Shows you that there is a deep difference between learning and understanding. At university, it's a difference of 10:1, at least.
Their TVs are telling them it is the Best Germany of All Time. The oracle!
Here they say Bidenomics is working, and publish little articles about how odd it is that so many don't seem to believe them. The proverbial, trite BIG LIE. Cars stretch for miles at food distribution sites, grocery bills are twice what they once were. Other metrics are horrendous.
Bidenomics work about as well as Biden's brain.
What brain?

“‘There are people out there who are not saying anything illegal but they have made themselves inconvenient anyway.’ ”
-------------------------------------
Geez. Don’t I know the feeling.
There’s no organized society anywhere on earth whose leaders don’t want to point their fingers at the variously inconvenient and scream witch! and hope the more convenient people can be made to agree.
"That is not enough. I therefore want to amend the law to ensure that the potential threat is taken into account."
Pre-Crime. What will these people NOT do?!?
Yes, all those references to "potential". Until recently this was considered science fiction territory, à la Minority Report.
How can we forget a past German leader whom we’re not to mention; who identified, demonized, dehumanized, brutalized & finally murdered millions who were characterized as the unclean enemy. These tyrants always need some group to pick on & blame for all their failures of leadership. The similarities are chilling.
The Stasi civilian agents were turning in friends and family not that long ago.
Just swap out the words, "right wing extremists" for "Jews" and it's easy to see.
One of the things that I've learned in American politics is that, in general, when Party X accuses Party Y of doing... SOMETHING, that something is what Party X is doing in reality.
So it would seem that the current government in Germany is admitting that they act like a criminal/mafia syndicate, that they are using "dark money," that they are using hatred and violence against those who disagree with them, that they use disinformation campaigns (lies/gaslighting) and that anyone who disagrees with them is essentially a criminal who has no rights.
It is easy to say "get out now." But where is there to go? There is nowhere to hide.
There are places to go. They aren't western liberal societies, but they aren't creating a new Gestapo either. Russia, India, Iran, Iceland, Hungary, Latin America, parts of Africa, parts of central and southern Asia too.
You will most likely need to learn a new language and adjust to a new culture. There isn't a back up Germany out there to retreat to, or a back up Europe or USA either.
If you want a germanic, western, liberal, industrialized democracy then you're going to have to save Germany from these tyrants.
At an evening of sketches, long ago at my first university, I recall an undergrad (to become a famous comedian) standing up at a stage podium to deliver, in cod-German accent, a speech about what "is now being done about people who'd served in the Nazi regime"; how the courts were working under new "focused legislation" to track down "these people" who are "everywhere"; how kindergartens, schools, colleges and universities were at last refining their recruitment and personnel policies to assist the state in recognising the "traits", often well-hidden, of "so-called" ex-Nazis; how businesses and local authorities and the media were winkling out "the guilty" at every level, working "fearlessly with discipline and efficient intelligence", to identify "the foulness in our midst...these people who infect our new Germany" with their "diseased sub-human thoughts". As the sketch continued the actor's initially sober voice grew heated. His words came faster, adjectives amplified and given deeper emphasis with rigid hand and then arm gestures. The sympathetic and virtuous figure who'd begun the speech had slowly transformed, growing grimmer, glistening, reddening, and in a grand finale, showing a face contorted into a mask of enthusiastic - almost joyful - rage; flecks of spittle reaching the front row of the audience; even a little foam at the mouth - near apoplexy, rage and hate personified "there will at last be a final solution to this problem!". The silence before the applause was deafening.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals."
-C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock: Essays on Theology (Making of Modern Theology)
That sounds so odd as I and several colleagues who were in the cancellation culture snare before it became popular had to watch former SS officers collecting their pension money from serving Germany under the third Reich. One particular SS retiree took great pleasure in an odd laugh he would make as he collected cash from the machine on the company campus. Of course this was in Bill Gates America and not on German soil but the German government was paying his pension.
The national socialist state survived long enough to start the war that destroyed it because opposition was suppressed and most opponents decided to go quiet in their own interests.
The German democratic state survived long enough for everyone to see what a failure communism is because opposition was suppressed and most opponents decided to go quiet in their own interests.
Now the federal Republic is going to suppress opposition, and ensure it is in the opponents best interests to go quiet.
What does anyone think they will do in the safe space thereby created for overweening government? It is not done because they wish go actually democratically deal with the wishes of the people.
And still, as with covid, there is (almost) nowhere the dissidents can go and live, whether quietly or as exile opposition.
Stalin and Hitler and their ilk actively encouraged enemies to leave. Idi Amin forced them to. At least in the early days and before absolute power was certain. Then it was the gulag and the death camp.
Global oligarchical collectivism makes emigration futile.
Uh, back in the States here, someone with whom I'm close was heard to say that going somewhere else would be a good option, but in Trudeau's parliamentary democracy up north, protesting truckers had their bank accounts shut down by their government. In sunny, faraway Australia, people were picked up on the streets and detained until they consented to receive unknowable biological substances injected into themselves, at which time they were presented with their very own "I'm Jabbed!" Ausweiss. When you stay home, meet like-minded people, write letters, protest and carry signs, have meetings and muck and grind it out on your own streets, it's your own home you're working to make be as it should. That may in the long run offer better potential outcomes than fleeing it all or praying for some charismatic, deeply flawed con-artist to make all of it right for you.
I agree with you, but I also think a safety hatch would be great. Though the vast majority can't afford it.
And the places to go are the places demonized by the US gov, because the US demonizes countries whose rulers actually work for the people.
Oh, ouch! Didn't mean to pull off the band-aid....don't take it personally; pray for anything you wish and don't forget to vote.
Welcome to The New World Order. I believe this is the "beast system" of governance warned about in the book of Revelation.
And the ten horns which thou sawest, are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but shall receive power as kings one hour after the beast. These have one design: and their strength and power they shall deliver to the beast — Revelation 17: 12-13
It's fast approaching.
Yes it most certainly is
Now that's scary, actually.
It was intended to scare us ... like a parent would scare their children away from a rabid dog or hot coals
It's not a German phenomenon per se. It's happening across the entire West. Don't be blinded by thinking this is particularly German. It is vital to NATO that Germany be held in place. And the EU is nothing without NATO. It is a facade that would dissolve in one day without the military might of NATO behind it. These regimes in the West are all saying and doing the same thing ... liberal democracy, making the West safe for democracy, yada yada. Democracy is the codeword for protecting their grasp on power. Essentially, we are all living in the West under juntas. Their goal is complete control of the internet, by the way, to censor you into oblivion. To destroy your livelihood if necessary if you oppose them ... Why would they think twice about it? It is that simple. They are hysterically frightened of rightwing populism. These are regimes, these are juntas. They have their armies, their political police, their intelligence services, and their media are platforms for intelligence agency psy ops. That's what you're up against.
they are afraid of another this....https://www.fff.org/explore-freedom/article/unheralded-resisters-in-nazi-germany-the-edelweiss-pirates-part-1/
This is really scary, and I can see this coming to the US as the the push to remove Trump from ballots is the first step. Saving democracy by destroying democracy. I don't understand how people cannot see this, and how their policies, once put in place, could easily be used against them.
It’s already here and a has been since Obama took office and really started the ball rolling.
Every German who values freedom must vote for AfD in every election beginning immediately.
AND support fair elections!
What are those?
I understand outlawing the AFD as a party is being considered. There's probably no way of writing them in…
Here's a reason to laugh at these politicians right across the EU27 and UK. A known murderer from Albania did so in London, fled to Denmark, was captured, sent to UK prison, deported to Albania and... after 6 years of a life-sentence, was out. Exactly as predicted.
He went on to 'trade' cars, money, women and drugs across Belgium, Italy and more until a rival gang shot him dead whilst in Albania. In public.
This is not unique. At no point did this man ever have real EU28 / EU27 / UK documents. At no point did he have the right to stay in any European country. He inflicted real harm on everyone he met.
So, we the little people, should be frightened of the fools who would call themselves better than us. Yet real crime goes on all around us, sponsored by the very same fools.
The last time I just skimmed what the official procedure is in Germany for deportation, I could not even manage my default WTF cynical smile of disgust. Goes something like ... they give the guy a letter that says ... Now you have been a very naughty young man. We have told you repeatedly that you are not permitted to come in here. And you have come back now several times. So here is the final warning. You had better leave now or you are going to be in very big trouble. Yeah, like you say, guy who has been a hardened criminal since he was 14 ... his knees are shaking. Pathetic. Long time ago, Camille Paglia said in a video about this amazing weakness of the west, our overcivilized dying west ... she made the standard comparison to the fall of Rome ... and that (today) barbarians are once again massing on the frontiers, watching intently, for they have no such inhibtions as ours. They prize violence, conquest, plunder, subjugation. She got my attention.
It is undeniably scary. Our elites do not know what is about to be unleashed.
Yes. They do, and still they choose to release it. Then they call you crazy for opposing it.
Luciferian to the utmost.
Thank you for this Andrew. AND these fools have virtually ZERO change of being assaulted, robbed at knifepoit, raped etc. As a friend once said, once these people are in the club, they are set for life, their familes .... subject to none of our everyday fears or worries. There are no burglaries in Angel Merkel's "neighborhood". A great fantasy of mine is to imagine that the election comes and like 8% of the electorate turns out to vote. Would be interesting to see how they would "spin" that one :)
What if we could change that zero probability to near certainty instead?
Just how well did you know this black market cog? Did some contract work, maybe?
Sadly no. None of us did any 'business' - one member of the family became entangled romantically, and the rest is history. It was startling to see this level of criminality - not only this Albanian but his entire extended family. Nasty industrial scale crooks.
Romantically sounds like a sad state. These type with very rare exceptions have no concept of what being of complementary natures means.
That the reality of our complementarity comes from the only source, God, and His interior loving community nature is entirely lost.
This is why these types and South American piracy schooled in American gangsterism can use such truly misanthropic and unholy scourges like gender ideology for political leverage.
Faeser: "I would like to treat right-wing extremist networks in the same way as organised crime." What a relief! We have nothing to worry about! Crime is not punished in Germany at all! IMO one very real potential threat percolating beneath the surface in German society ... real "dissidents" ... are the immigrant "clans", i.e. organized crime families that have become firmly rooted in Germany . German law enforcement would not have the vaguest idea of how to combat them. Nor the will to do so. But if you don't pay your cable bill for the state propaganda ministry, or let off steam on Substack. Then you can go to jail.
She means RICO-like legislation (look up RICO). She got some American help here, maybe ...
Yeah, RICO was quite successful in the States. But who knows what they can do or who is helping who. I could well imagine though, that if the crime families in Germany were really being put under pressure, if their "soldiers" and bosses were being locked up with long sentences, we would know it. How? Like in Sweden, the clans in Germany would start waging outright war. They have ZERO fear of anything in Germany, including law enforcement. That's why they chose to settle in Germany, because it is a paradise for criminals. The thing to remember about the German press is that crime in the entire country has traditionally been extremely underreported. Keeps the taxpayers pacified.
You can pretty much replace "Germany" with "Sweden" for any of Eugyppius' articles dealing with german politics.
Currently, the Socialist Democrat party is advocating for some kind of pre-broadcast censorship, including rules for who would be allowed to have a pod or similar at all.
The reason for this is one man, Henrik Jönsson who's an entrepreneur from Lund, and who has been doing in-depth analyses of the current and historical consequences et cetera of the rule of the Socialist Democrat party.
Which they aren't used to and don't understand how to handle, except for censorship, deplatforming, and weaponising the courts against him.
And when one party has ruled a nation for almost three quarters of a century, at times with 50%+ of the vote, you better believe there's dirt to find - though in fairness to the party, 95% of the dirt is from post-1980s period.
Of course they will have the means to do it and will do it. Look at those faces. You don't think they're capable of it? Look up RICO.
eugyppius, what exactly do these "protectors of democracy" say the AfD would do if they won an election? Do they state that AfD would abolish elections, persecute opponents, prohibit the expression of viewpoints they disagree with? What, exactly? Do they ever specify?
Or is it all just empty fearmongering?
No, very often they never say. In fact the AfD repeatedly complain that they're never even told by the political police why they are suspected of or classified as being right-wing extremists.
Oh, they have been told all right... but they are thick-headed, and insist on continuing to erect their evil dogwhistle inflatable snowmen.
When did the inflatable snowman stop beating his wife?
Laughed out loud. Thank you for that.
Thought crime, as outlined by George Orwell has arrived.
Mr. Eugyppius Man, have you not seen yet the Benz on Carlson´s X interview? AfD gets an honorable mention... Among others. Respectfully, Your avid reader, Tomasz.
Yeah frightening and it's happening everywhere at once....
Sound familiar?
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them...

Consider Democrat's accusations of Trump's 'insurrection.' Trump has never been charged for the crime of 'insurrection' let alone convicted. Yet various state legislators are removing him from their Presidential ballots on the basis of something he has neither been convicted nor charged with. The very definition of a 'thought crime.' It is incredible that these cases make it through any court without the judge asking where the conviction is. Instead, all of these cases end up at the U.S. Supreme Court. This is Lewis Carroll's famous fallacy: Sentence first, verdict afterwards.
