Who Are the Real Nazis? The German Government’s War on the AfD
It is characteristic of so-called parliamentary democracy in a country with a completely uniform and state-controlled press (or perhaps better described as a press fully controlled by the same forces that own and control the politicians) that it will bring the worst elements of the population to the top. When it is not the best, but only the majority, who make the decisions, it results in catastrophically poor governments, which we see today across most of Europe and not least in the United States. Mette Frederiksen’s regime is a good example of how the excrement is floating on the surface instead of being captured in the sewage treatment plant. But then Mette Frederiksen and her gang are almost geniuses by comparison to the government in our southern neighbor Germany, where total incompetence, abysmal ignorance, and a complete lack of intelligence and moral integrity seem to have been the criteria for selecting the country’s government.
This government systematically allowed the Americans to blow up Nord Stream, cutting us off from cheap energy supplies from Russia, while simultaneously shutting down the last nuclear power plants. Instead, they littered the entire country with hideous wind turbines, haphazardly placed across the landscape and at a density we cannot even imagine—interrupted only by enormous solar farms. All this unnecessary and harmful junk cannot, of course, provide the necessary cheap energy for an industrial society like Germany’s. Energy has become a very costly scarce commodity. That is why all the major companies are lining up to move production abroad, and since many of them are owned by American (read: Jewish) capital interests, it makes sense for them to head to America, where energy is still far cheaper. And that was, of course, also one of the purposes of blowing up Nord Stream. Industry must go “heim ins Reich”, i.e., to the U.S. Many small and medium-sized companies do not really have this option, so they are closing down in large numbers. Unemployment is skyrocketing. Prices are rising. It’s called deindustrialization, and that is precisely what “The Greens”—who aren’t green at all, they’re just ignorant fools—have been striving for all along. The introduction of Stone Age Marxism. It’s so good for the environment—and today, of course, especially for the climate. Where the money is supposed to come from, they haven’t really thought about that. And money is going to have to be spent. They’ve introduced “Bürgergeld” for all two-legged creatures without feathers who happen to be in Germany—a powerful magnet attracting even more hordes from the Middle East and Africa, and that, too, is one of the goals. Multicultural diversity in rainbow colors. As Alice Weidel, the AfD’s political spokesperson in the Bundestag, said from the podium: “You hate Germany!” And then there is, of course, the war in Ukraine—which will end up as a war in Germany, and which is hardly good for the environment (we won’t even mention the climate), which has cost over half a million Ukrainians their lives, and which will result in Ukraine’s demise as an independent state and make the otherwise fruitful cooperation between Russia and Germany impossible for generations to come. Meanwhile, retirees and the unemployed don’t know how to pay their heating bills and still be able to eat their fill.
As red-green governments always do, they just raise taxes—which are mainly paid by the people who already have nothing. The companies that could have footed part of the bill are now in America or have gone bankrupt. Higher taxes on transportation mean higher prices at Lidl—the only place Germans can now afford to shop. Higher taxes on agriculture (good for the climate, of course) also mean higher food prices.
And then there’s “values politics.” Woke through and through. The importance of gender-neutral language, on which thick handbooks have been published that everyone must follow. If the business community resists, the audacious ones are dragged through a shitstorm of epic proportions. And then, of course, there’s trans ideology and the importance of using the mentally ill’s self-chosen and self-invented pronouns. Truly an issue that goes over the heads of the starving and freezing Germans!
It’s therefore not at all surprising that Germans are flocking to Alternative für Deutschland, which is the only real opposition party. It sits in the polls between 25% and 35% of the vote if an election were held today. In eastern Germany, the AfD is becoming the largest party; the Greens and the Liberals are falling below the 5% threshold, and the Social Democrats are coming dangerously close. Faced with such figures, a democratic government should, of course, either radically change course or call an election. But of course, that is not what they do. Instead, they investigate whether they can ban Alternative für Deutschland. It must be “Nazi.” Alternatively, one could perhaps strip them of their party funding—as has been done with the NPD’s successor, Die Heimat. Now, I do believe that the very concept of banned parties is a troubling thing in a country that calls itself democratic, but when a party isn’t even banned, how can one deprive it of its basic rights? Similarly, there are proposals to strip state parliament member Björn Höcke of his civil rights so he cannot be elected to political office—by the voters! He, too, is accused of being a “Nazi.”
The Federal President shamelessly calls AfD voters “rats.” Does that remind you of anything? Dehumanizing opponents who, of course, like rats, must be exterminated—for what else do you do with rats? Forgive my naivety, but who exactly here are the Nazis? “Never again is now!” say the mobilized “anti-Nazis,” who are portrayed as if they represented the will of the people. Let’s say there were 100,000—there are probably about 70 million voters in Germany. They are the ones who manifest the will of the people at the ballot box. But of course, they are absolutely right. “Never again is now!” Not since 1933 have opposition parties represented in the Reichstag been banned, or inconvenient political opponents—in this case, about 30% of the German population—been labeled as vermin that ought to be gassed. The “Nazis” are firmly in the saddle today as the holders of governmental power. They should remember how things turned out for their predecessors.
