Clearly Orchestrated Turmoil

January 19, 2024 By in Habitudes, Helections, Helplessness, Hideology Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

The German government, i.e. the established parties in Germany, wants to pull a “ban Trump” number on the competition.

It’s quite simple, really. The AfD is getting too many votes and it looks like this will continue to be the case. Talk of banning the party is increasingly in the air.

Just study this latest embarrassingly heavy-handed move. German Gutmenschen (goody-two-shoes, virtue-signalling “correct” thinkers), already loudly vocal against the AfD, are being told by the powers that be (see state media) to somehow be even more against them, this due to an alleged “mass deportation” meeting that probably never took place. Or, if it did, most certainly not in the way it’s being spun. In other words, although you all already knew that the AfD was anti-uncontrolled immigration, you must now show your moral outrage about finding out that the AfD is anti-uncontrolled immigration – and hit the streets in protest. And sheeple being sheeple, they’ve done exactly as they’ve been told.

Turmoil in Germany over neo-Nazi mass deportation meeting – Revelation that members of AfD met with extremists to discuss removing asylum seekers has sparked days of protests.

The BSW Party

With an emphasis on the BS.

Leftist remarketing tricks still work (socialist BS is the gift that keeps on giving).

The new and improved “Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance – Reason and Justice” (BSW) party, here to “save democracy,” is polling at “up to” 14% of the vote in Germany. This means, of course, it might get 4% of the vote in an actual election, which isn’t enough to be elected, but still.

New German leftist party could take up to 14% of vote, poll shows – A leftist politician who quit Germany’s Left party and this week set up her own could win as much as 14% of the vote in national elections, dealing heavy blows to both conservatives and the far right, a new poll has found.

It’s about time somebody started asking these questions

Although, it may already be too late, Germany.

Germany’s CDU questions Islam’s place in society – Muslims, migration, and nuclear energy all get fresh focus in a new CDU manifesto. The draft has already drawn widespread criticism.

The new color scheme a few months back was only a cosmetic step. Now, Germany’s center-right Christian Democrats are going under the hood. For the first time since 2007, the party that ruled Germany for most of the republic’s young history has revamped its party program.

Its leaders hope this is their ticket to returning to power, which they lost in 2021. In establishing what the CDU now stands for, the draft reflects ideological differences at the very top. Chairman Friedrich Merz needed three attempts to become party leader, rebuffed by a skeptical Angela Merkel when she was still chancellor and a powerful force in the party. With her gone and Merz in charge since early last year, he is seeking a different path…

Gone are the days of recognizing that “Islam now belongs to Germany, too” as the CDU’s Christian Wulff said when he served as Germany’s president during an early Merkel government. The new draft manifesto adds a key caveat: Muslims belong to Germany so long as they “share our values.”

What’s left of the Left?

Not much. The little that is left of the Left is falling apart. Right and left, so-to-speak.

More power to you, lady.

German hard-left icon set to start a new populist party – The new party would further scramble Germany’s fracturing political landscape — and likely peel away support from the far right.

Sahra Wagenknecht, the longtime face of The Left, which has roots in East Germany’s Communist Party, says her new faction will represent the large swath of the German electorate that is deeply frustrated with mainstream politics.

This is what the “conservative” opposition in Germany wants (thanks again, Angela Merkel)

They clearly want to increase the popularity of the far-right AfD (Alternative for Germany).

It has to be what they want. Otherwise they would propose aggressive measures against Germany’s “immigrant dystopia,” like the AfD is doing – and eating what used to be their lunch.

The “traffic light” coalition currently in power makes no secret about having no intention of doing anything about the migrant meltdown, but of course no one here even expects them to do anything (see the Banana Republic of US-Amerika for a similar situation near you).

German far-right party surges on immigrant ‘dystopia’ – Alternative for Germany is stoking anti-migrant sentiment in the town of Görlitz — and nationwide.

Nationally it (the AfD) is polling at nearly 22 per cent, ahead of all three parties in chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition: the Social Democrats, Greens and liberal Free Democrats.

Go Green, Go Broke

I know, it doesn’t ryhme as well as with “woke” but it’s OK. They’re woke too.

We’ll see for how much longer, though.

Nearly two-thirds of Germans want new government, poll says – A survey shows nearly two-thirds of voters want to pull the plug on Germany’s ruling coalition. The poll comes immediately after figures that show most Germans are unhappy with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his government.

As many as 64% of Germans who answered in the survey released on Saturday said a change of government would make the country a better place…

Pollsters also asked about the so-called “traffic light” coalition of center-left Social Democrats (SPD), the Greens, and the neoliberal Free Democrats (FDP). Voters were asked how it measured up against Chancellor Angela Merkel’s “Grand Coalition” of conservative Christian Democrats/Christian Socialists (CDU/CSU) and the SPD.

And who is shifting them there?

The “Nazi” name-calling strategy doesn’t seem to be working anymore (see the photo – get it?), all ye established, fat and sassy German political parties and media manipulators.

You might have to finally consider giving the German electorate what it actually wants. An end to mass illegal immigration, for example, or affordable energy. To name just two.

AfD: German voters shift toward far right – The AfD continues to gain ground in opinion polls amid high dissatisfaction with the government. Support for ending the taboo on cooperating with the populists is growing.

The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has received another boost in the polls: If federal elections were held this week, the populist party would win 21% of the vote, putting it firmly in second place behind the center-right bloc of Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU), which remain the strongest force at 27%, despite taking some small losses.

That is according to the latest edition of the representative “Deutschlandtrend” survey, for which pollster infratest reached out to 1,297 eligible voters via phone or email between July 31 and August 2.

As in the previous months’ surveys, Germany’s center-left government again failed to win a majority. Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democratic Party (SPD), the largest party in the three-way coalition, would garner 17% — down from 25.7% when it came to power in the last general election in 2021.

German Of The Day: Horrorszenario

That means horror scenario.

Horror Scenario – Germany Prepares for Possible Re-Election of Donald Trump.

Berlin is preparing for the possibility that Donald Trump could beat Joe Biden in the next election. That outcome would likely be a disaster for Ukraine, NATO and the looming climate crisis. Diplomats have begun establishing contacts with the former president’s camp to avoid being blindsided as they were in 2016.

“The Germans are bad, very bad.”

First We Take Ostelsheim

Then we take Berlin.

A Syrian who arrived in Germany as a refugee in 2015 has been elected as the mayor of a village in the south-west of the country.

Ryyan Alshebl, 29, who is a member of the German Greens but stood as a non-party candidate, won an absolute majority in Sunday’s mayoral election in Ostelsheim, a small municipality of about 2,500 inhabitants in the state of Baden-Württemberg.

Dysfunctional Elections?

Oh brother. The Germans (Berliners) are copying US-Amerika again.

Only they got it all wrong, as usual. They’re actually trying to undue the damage done by rerunning the failed election. They’re actually trying to get an honest and fair result, in other words. Amateurs. They’ll never play in our league. When it comes to Banana Republicism, Americans will continue to lead the world.

Berlin holds court-ordered rerun of chaotic state election – The city of Berlin on Sunday is holding a court-ordered rerun of a chaotic 2021 state election that was marred by severe glitches at many polling stations that led to hours-long lines as some polling places ran out of ballot papers or received ones for the wrong district.

Berliners have long been frustrated by the German capital’s notoriously dysfunctional ways, which have been defying clichés of German efficiency for years and have made the city the laughing stock of the rest of the country.
