What a relief!

I was really worried for a while there that the Berlin Film Festival was going to say it supports right-wing extremism.

But now it’s official. The Berlin Film Festival says it stands against right-wing extremism. Whew. Thank goodness. You just never know these days.

What a clown show.

“Members of the AfD were elected to the Bundestag and the Berlin House of Representatives in the last elections. Accordingly, they are also represented in political cultural committees and other bodies. That is a fact, and we have to accept it as such,” the festival said. “Both the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media and the Berlin Senate receive invitation quotas for the Berlinale, which are allocated to the democratically elected members of all parties in the Bundestag and House of Representatives. It was against this background that the AfD representatives were invited to the Berlinale.”

Let’s make the AfD stronger!

Similar to the way the dirty tricks played on Donald Trump in the Banana Republic only make him more popular, German anti-AfD protests are only increasing its popularity.

Anyone paying attention here sees this for what it is: An orchestrated attempt by the established parties and their state media hacks to either 1) weaken the far-right party at the polls or 2) foster the atmosphere in which they can attempt to ban the party. You know. If you can’t beat them, ban them?

Germans Protest Far-right AfD for Third Straight Week Amid Its Spike in Popularity – After a meeting took place to discuss ‘re-migration’ of immigrants from Germany, protesters have taken to the streets to voice their opposition to the rising far-right nationalism in Germany. Chancellor Olaf Scholz applauded the demonstrations.

“On the rise”

Always on the rise. For as long as I or anyone else here can remember, on the rise.

Right-wing extremism. It’s always on the rise. Everywhere, but in Germany in particular. Geez. You’d think they would have finally risen to the top by now already. Good thing these warnings are not a classic political/journalistic device used to generate alarm for votes and higher ratings.

Germany’s Scholz says dark neo-Nazi networks are on the rise – Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Saturday voiced concern over the rise of extreme-right tendencies in his country 79 years after the Auschwitz extermination camp was liberated.

It’s not an “on the rise” problem in Germany. It’s an “on the run” problem. The established political parties are slowly getting choked to death. Or, more accurately, slowly choking themselves to death.

Everybody’s doing it!

Just look at all the “ban Trump” moves in The Banana Republic.

“Germans seeking to ban democracy to save democracy.” They’re planning the banning of the AfD. Why? Because their ranks keep growing with disguntled voters from the established parties that refuse to give these voters what they want. An end to the migrant madness, for example. The Germans have this saying: “Wer nicht hören will, muss fühlen.” That means “he who will not hear must feel.” It’s clear that the established parties’ necessary pain threshold has not yet been reached but try to avoid this pain they must.

The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”

“We must finally start deporting people on a grand scale”

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) said this months ago. He has always been ahead of his time, I guess.

That’s why the current fabricated frenzy about the AfD party allegedly planning the same thing doesn’t make much sense. But Scholz is a social democratic (socialist) goody-two-shoes kinda guy so the mass deportation he is demanding must be a nicer and more “social” kind. If he says “we have to deport people more often and faster,” nobody cares. That it’s all talk and no walk and none of these deportations will ever take place in Germany is another story altogether.

Funny what a few months and the continued success of of the AfD at the polls can make. But nothing has been orchestrated here, folks. Just move along please.

Wir müssen endlich im großen Stil abschieben.”

Clearly Orchestrated Turmoil

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.

German of the day: “Wer nicht hören will, muss fühlen”

That means those who refuse to listen shall feel the consequences.

The established, traditional political parties in Germany are still refusing to listen to the electorate. Their voters have had it. With the migrant madness, for one thing. And with crazy Green utopia (highest energy prices in Europe and climbing), for another. And if these parties won’t listen, then voters have no other choice but to vote for a party that will.

Alice Weidel’s hard-right politics is winning over Germans.

Our Berlin bureau chief sits down with the increasingly popular co-leader of the Alternative for Germany, the furthest-right of the country’s seven main political parties.

The Berlin Airlift

Only this time the planes would be leaving Berlin. And headed toward Rwanda.

Or was it Wakanda? Anyway, good luck with that. You’re going to need it.

CDU seeks to win back German voters with its own Rwanda asylum plan – Official says party favours sending refugees to third countries such as Rwanda for application processing.

“If we did this and kept it up consequently for four, six, eight weeks, we would see the numbers [claiming asylum] reduce dramatically.”

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.”
