Situation report from Germany.
In recent weeks, several remarkable events have taken place in Germany. The rioting that took place in Berlin and Cologne on New Year's Eve is almost not worth talking about anymore. German citizens watched the video sequences in their homes the next day with paralyzed surrender. These are common things around here, but the migrants still managed to put a shovel on it.
Something has changed very much in the tolerance of the Germans: they no longer growl so loudly when it comes to sexual violence or the mass abuse of women, but the discontent is palpable in all segments; visible and audible.
Why was it necessary to import migrants?
Why was it necessary to shut down the nuclear reactors? Why was it necessary to enter the Ukrainian war financially, with weapons deliveries and training?
Why didn't the government take steps to identify the culprits after cutting the country's energy umbilical cord? Why do we need to import the much more expensive American gas? How do we pay for all this?
Such and similar questions are asked when homeowners are forced to switch to energy-saving heating techniques.
So it's no wonder that now, when Chancellor Scholz visited the affected areas due to the large floods in northern Germany, he received an unfriendly welcome from the population, to say the least. People shouted from the side of the road and from the windows
"Get out of the way so we can continue working here!"
“Boo! Get out!” (Booh! Verschwinde!)
"Just go back home, go home!" (Fahr wieder Heim, nach Hause!)
"Criminal! Traitors!” (Verbrecher! Volksverräter!)
Finally, the chancellor left without speaking to the locals.
At the same time, "German Economy Minister Robert Habeck was harassed by hundreds of people at a ferry port in Schleswig-Holstein, an action organized by many local farmers," the same portal reported on January 5. The protest broke out due to the withdrawal of the state subsidy. The enraged crowd of a few hundred people prevented the Green Party vice chancellor from moving freely in the port, and in Hungarian they did not let him get off the ferry. They stopped the pier, and then the ferry that was about to dock was attacked by 25-30 people. The police also needed to deploy pepper spray.
Barely a few hours had passed and the media had already forged a political advantage for the government forces from this "spontaneous movement organized by local farmers", as they announced that it was all organized by the AfD, which wanted to cause political chaos, and this action is anyway typical of the "far-right anti-Semitic" party...
The adjectives "far-right" and "anti-Semitic" are used for a reason: the SPD and the Greens want to compensate for their rapid loss of popularity (not to mention the FDP, which has fallen below 5%), while the AfD has forecasts of well over 20%, and in fact, the country in its eastern provinces, their popularity is generally above 30%. It is no wonder, then, that at the suggestion of the governing parties, the party's activities, including telephone conversations, were put under surveillance.
The Hungarian Soros blog was also not idle: after a long silence, they managed to come up with this winning headline. Photo: Screenshot.
But what else happened at the same time as the above?
In a speech at the FDP's traditional Epiphany meeting (Dreikönigstreffen) in Stuttgart over the weekend, party chairman Christian Lindner condemned the farmers' movement, accusing them of disturbing the country's peace, which he said was not allowed democratic country .
It should be noted - and it is not unimportant - that during his speech, the people sitting in the gallery expressed their displeasure and interrupted the party president's speech by shouting.
As you know, it is hidden in the souls that things did not go like this during Chancellor Kohl's time, so the current government coalition has a basic interest in destroying the former chancellor's nimbus.
And there was no better occasion for this than the funeral of former finance minister Schäuble (who was also Kohl's right-hand man). Chancellor Kohl's "former savior" was not invited to the event, as reported by the t-online Nachrichten für Deutschland news portal on 01/06/2024:
"Offenbar wurde Merkel nicht von der Familie Schäuble eingeladen, wie die Bild berichtet." Auch Bundespräsident Frank-Walter Steinmeier (SPD) sei nicht eingeladen worden, war ebenfalls nicht dabei.” (Merkel was apparently not invited by Schäuble's family, as reported by Bild. Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier (SPD) was also not invited and did not attend the event.)
As an explanation, the unexpected breakdown of the former friendship between Helmut Kohl and Schäuble, the chancellor's tax scandal and the so-called Due to the "Spenden Affair" (problems surrounding one of the CDU's donors),
so that finally, after the denunciation rich in details, the reader gets a rather negative image of Helmut Kohl, the dreamer of the European Union.
In this way, the current neoliberal government coalition can soon deviate more courageously from the path once marked by Kohl.
I am writing these lines on January 9, today the farmers' march is causing more and more blockades. In some grocery stores, fresh produce arrives late or not at all, although this can still be overcome. But the oiled mainstream media's anti-agrarian blockade comments have already appeared - well timed. Because the German media is impartial...
People on the street are given a voice, of course, primarily those who lament that they won't be able to visit the sick mother or that they won't be able to take the child to kindergarten because of the blockade. However, the farmers' messages are clear:
"If we go broke, there will be no food on your table!" or "Your fridge will be empty!" or "You can only buy foreign goods!".
However, none of this is of interest to the German citizen, who seems to be suffering from tube vision and is only busy with his own problem. At least that's what the media reports show. Of course, they don't mention when sympathizers of the Last Generation (green activists) or Die Linke (leftist party) protested in the streets and caused traffic jams.
The media was silent then, because they are leftists... they can only and exclusively be right!
