Uh-oh. If “Russian disinformation is growing in Germany…”

Then German state media disinformation providers are going to have to crank it up a notch. No prob. We’re on it already.

Russian disinformation is growing in Germany – Russia is flooding Germany with more disinformation than ever, officials warn. Analysts say this tactic is helping pro-Kremlin narratives increasingly seep into the country’s politics.

“We see that this strategy is gradually achieving its goals, and the public debate in Germany is increasingly shifting in a direction that serves the Kremlin’s interests.”

Even the Germans are puzzled by these results

And they normally blindly believe any survey they are presented with.

No sooner has Joe Biden stepped down to make way for Kamala Harris than the first effects are apparently already being felt. Initial polls show the Vice President ahead…

Of the ten Democratic candidates surveyed, she performed best against Trump. In addition, 65 percent of Democratic supporters surveyed supported Harris’ candidacy as the party’s frontrunner, doubling her score from the previous month.

Beer, bratwurst and conspiracy?

Who could ask for more?

Other than maybe a few half-naked dancing girls.

Beer, bratwurst and conspiracy: Inside a meeting of Germany’s far-right AfD – … They came for an evening of conversation with the Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD), Germany’s leading far-right party.

To one camp, this meeting represented a call for political change; to the other, a risk to German democracy. That vehement disagreement is one being played out across the nation as it heads towards regional elections in September.

After far-right gains in several European countries, most notably in the Netherlands and Italy, Germany may follow suit.

Haven’t had one of these in ages…

One of these fake animal sightings in the summer in Germany (search above for “Sommerloch” or “silly season”).

You know, these “scary” none-news news reports used as filler during summer vacation season (journalists are allowed to go on vacation here, it seems)? This time it’s a lion on the loose or something.

Germany: Suspected lioness on the loose outside Berlin – Residents of a neighborhood near the German capital have been told to stay indoors while authorities search for what they believe is a lioness on the loose.

It goes like this: Five Rentner (retirees) overthrough the German government.

Or plan to. Or at least think about maybe doing it or something.

Forgive them, judge. This took place (not) when that wacky “January 6 insurrection” fad was going around. German media just had to come up with something.

Five Germans go on trial over alleged far-right coup plot – Group accused of plotting to abduct minister and topple government in protest at Covid measures.

Not.

German of the day: Echt. That means genuine.

But there’s no fake news out there, right? Trust the media. The news experts.

Fake Hitler diaries to go on public display in Germany – Forged papers that caused a scandal when they were published as real in 1983 will be given to national archive.

There Is No Struggle

And there is no movement or threat. Certainly not of any importance. Nice try, though.

Talk about your manufactured fake news. It’s just another one of those routine anti-Faschist, anti-right-wing-terror rituals all leftist media cultures have to perform from time to time. It’s performance art, in other words.

Why Germany Is Struggling to Address the Reichsbürger Threat – Right-wing terror has been generally underestimated by German authorities.

PS: It’s just like back home. The danger of right-wing terror is growing! I’ve been watching it grow here in Germany for forty years. Yawn.

German State Media Want Their Own “Insurrection” So Bad

They can taste it. And they’re perfectly willing to make theirs even more ridiculous than that first way cool media construct in evil US-Amerika.

Admittedly, a hard thing to do but I wouldn’t putsch it past them. Enjoy, folks. Very entertaining. I coup watch them all day.

The bizarre far-right coup attempt in Germany, explained by an expert – Understanding the Reichsbürger, a QAnon-influenced radical movement that just tried to make a minor noble the new king of Germany.

This Is Particularly Shocking

Especially when you consider that there are only about thirty or forty black people living in Germany in the first place.

Black People in German Survey Report ‘Extensive’ Discrimination – Black people living in Germany face pervasive issues with racism and discrimination, according to a survey which marks the first wide-scale effort to tally the community’s experiences.

“The results of the Afrozensus indicate that anti-Black racism is widespread in Germany and anchored in institutions,” a press release of the report said on Tuesday. “There is no area of life in which discrimination and racism are not extensive problems.”

“On The Rise”

Just like racism, anti-Semitism, CO2, shark attacks and so much more, “social inequality” is on the rise in Germany.

Social inequality in Germany is on the rise – Germany’s poor are getting poorer, and the rich richer. A new government report has made clear how wide the country’s social divide is growing.

The odd thing about this is I can’t think of a time when social inequality and all the others weren’t on the rise. It’s all so very alarming. It sure is reassuring to know that this rise isn’t a classic journalistic device used to inflame and generate alarm to bring in higher ratings and increase advertising revenue for greater profit. Otherwise it would be hard to take headlines like these seriously.
