The Situation In Germany

Cotton requested that, until Germany treats the AfD as a “legitimate opposition party” and not as a “right-wing extremist organization,” Gabbard should direct the U.S. intelligence agencies to halt sharing intelligence with the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV).

Only three days after Senator Cotton's directive to halt sharing intelligence with the German BfV the agency is more or less retracting its propaganda classification towards the AfD party. It is believed that the BfV is just forestalling the outcome of the lawsuit filed by the AfD.


BERLIN [ABC News] -- Germany's domestic intelligence agency said Thursday it will await a court ruling before moving forward with plans to classify the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany party as a “ right-wing extremist ” movement, a step that could subject the party to broader surveillance and scrutiny of its activities.

The announced pause comes after the party, known as AfD, filed a lawsuit in the western city of Cologne against the move by the intelligence service and the party's supporters alleged a politically motivated crackdown.

German officials have denied that allegation and have faulted what they called the party's “ongoing agitation” against refugees and migrants.

The AfD’s co-leaders, Tino Chrupalla and Alice Weidel, responded in a joint statement saying the intelligence service’s decision Thursday was “a first important step” that would help “counter the accusation of right-wing extremism.”

In a social media post last week, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called on Germany to undo the classification, saying the move to give new powers to the spy agency to watch the opposition amounted to “tyranny in disguise.”

Today’s German Judicial System is Resorting to Nazi Persecution Tactics Against Political Dissidents Who Speak the Truth

Critique of the German government is absolutely verboten in the Federal Republic of Germany. Those who criticize any government policy face imprisonment (perversely) eventually followed by judicial prosecution!

I bring to your attention, two cases of German political prisoners who challenged government Corona (Covid) policies by speaking out publicly. For this “crime” they are confined for long periods in solitary confinement; they are sleep deprived, terrorized, humiliated, shackled, and strip searched – before and during trial.

These abusive, terrorist tactics serve two purposes: they are intended to “break” dissident citizens mentally and spiritually, and the abuse is intended to serve as a warning to would-b German political dissidents.

I know each of the two persecuted heroic truth tellers personally.

The case of Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, a respected attorney is much better known around the globe. Therefore, I will first focus on Johanna Findeisen, whom I interviewed for my five-episode documentary, Never Again is Now Global, which premiered January 2023

Johanna appears in Episode 3 in which she describes the horrific experience of her great-uncle, who was a political prisoner who survived several Nazi concentration camps including Dachau. He was one quarter Jewish… He married a survivor right after the war. Johanna describes how not until just before he died, was he willing to talk or write about what had happened and what he witnessed.

ADKq_NY-Y72AJSdeunWHSt01qoVSdQX_NH3g5bkrRa8DYlvk0xY_TEybvQGiSR5Yj5qczNvKwWMEj7KLXIhx6XzccpeaLuU6M-_nppFZPPl7o0jOj82kUg=s0-d-e1-ft


Johanna was a political candidate of “die Basis,” political party for Freiheit und Gesundheit (Freedom and Health) which was founded during the Anti-Lockdown demonstrations. Johanna recognized the parallels; namely, vehement government repression against free speech demonstrators.



ADKq_NYCRduJZTCLT8DW564KvPIMl9ZHdjlEBpSRJ7A1Zvhur7ef8NuPZ08g3jJY5GZtwsGXkJmSSukZoBewxOHSS6_h7iDeWl30rWQlYHU5UOz-KdPlhw=s0-d-e1-ft

Since May 2023, Johanna Findeisen, mother of three, has been in pre-trial prison under brutal, inhumane conditions.

The case against Johanna – as per her lawyers – began on July 1, 2022, when she met with the new Russian Consul General, Ivan Khotulev, at a memorial service for the victims of the most serious plane crash in the Federal Republic of Germany. It crashed in Uebelingen on Lake Constance. Among the 71 victims, were 49 Russian children.

On December 4, Johanna spoke at a demonstration in Baden-Baden on behalf of ‘die Basis’ party -- which is composed of diverse people, including health workers. The mainstream media describes die Basis as “conspiracy theorists… and “Querdenker” (lateral thinkers) which for Germans is a highly pejorative term. However, I define it as applying to “free thinkers” -- those who do not adhere to the party line… They are what we, in the U.S. refer to as “awake” not mesmerized by propaganda.

On Dec 5,2022 Johanna delivered a letter to the Russian Consul from an activist seeking to free Julian Assange.

On Dec. 7, Johanna’s house on Lake Constance was searched as part of “raids against Reich citizens”.

On May 22, 2023, Johanna was arrested under suspicion of membership in a terrorist organization and imprisoned by the Federal Public Prosecutor General.

Johanna Findeisen has been imprisoned since then, in pretrial detention in Frankfurt am Main together with eight other suspects of the “Reuss Group”. The charge is high treason! – which in Germany can be punished with life in prison – not less than ten years.

The preposterous claims which have not been confirmed by any evidence are as follows:

  • Johanna Findeisen personally attended a so-called “Reichsbürger” meeting.
  • She handed over €150,000 from her family’s assets for the procurement of weapons.
  • She contacted the Russian consul or involved him in any coup plans
Her lawyer confirmed that these unfounded claims have been disseminated in the media. However, after two years in pretrial detention, none of these charges have been substantiated by any evidence, confessions or judicial decisions.

This is how the “Democratic” Republic of Germany treats political dissidents:

According to credible reports from her defense team and confirmed by legal representatives, Johanna Findeisen has been subjected to detention conditions that likely qualify as “white torture” under international standards. These include:

Isolation: Little to no social contact with other inmates. Conversations with her lawyers are interrupted or restricted.

Sensory Deprivation: Bare, dimly lit solitary cell. Limited access to outdoor exercise or physical activity. Absence of visual or auditory stimulation (no colors, books, sounds).

Sleep Deprivation: Chronic sleep disturbance due to constant stress.Frequent night-time cell checks with lights turned on every 15–30 minutes. Screams from neighboring inmate cells.

Inedible Food: After long trial days, she was repeatedly given cold or spoiled meals. The food was sometimes inedible or failed to meet basic health standards.

Excessive Use of Restraints: Handcuffs reportedly applied so tightly that they caused painful pressure marks and bruises. Transported to court in a windowless, extremely confined compartment within a prison van causes nausea, disorientation, and panic due to lack of visibility and air circulation.

NONE of these measures are justifiable – inasmuch as there is no possibility of escape during transport within a prison van.

Humiliating Body Searches:
Johanna Findeisen has to undress and freeze naked. Despite fever.

In February 2024: Johanna returned from court with a fever. She was forced to strip naked, in a freezing cold waiting room; to bend over, and cough in front of an open outer door. The staff member who “inspected” her anus, was so heavily masked and camouflaged that it was unclear whether it was a man or woman.

This procedure is common when a prisoner is first admitted to prison to prevent smuggling forbidden objects. However, there is no medical or security-related justification for strip searches when a prisoner returns from court where she was continuously guarded by police officers.

  • This demeaning practice violates human rights and human dignity. Its purpose is to humiliate, demean, and instill helplessness.
International Legal Assessment:

According to multiple human rights standards, these reported conditions violate: Prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment, under:

Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR):

UN Convention Against Torture (CAT), Articles 1 & 16: Ban on any form of psychological or physical abuse, even without visible injury.

- UN Istanbul Protocol: Manual on Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.

The Istanbul Protocol Defines solitary confinement, sensory deprivation, systematic sleep interruption, and degrading searches as forms of psychological torture.

Johanna’s attorneys adhere to fact-based, unemotional rhetoric – as is the norm and practice of the legal profession when there is no jury to witness the proceedings. However, in cases involving an individual critic of State policy – the turf is an especially uneven playing field. I believe it is appropriate to express human emotion when state atrocities are committed.

The following Open letter to Johanna is from Jürgen Fliege,
a retired pastor, TV host, and anti-Corona restrictions protester

The letter expresses outrage and compassion by one human being for the plight of another. Therefore, I post it entirely.

Love Johanna, all night I thought all night I thought how I could help you, all night, because I do really care how you are doing, what they are doing with you, and what’s going on with you and what’s going on with your children, and, and, and, and, and ... all night.
And I am not alone with it, we are many!

You know, it makes no sense to shout loudly for help or to write to you that it is anything but an honest judiciary that is complicit in what you have had to endure, much more.

Having to strip with the expectation of violence, then stand naked and shiver in front of strangers, then having to turn around with your face to the wall, even more defenseless, and then exposing your bottom for inspection. Johanna, that goes to the core and will remain so all your life. That’s what I call abuse in normal life and torture in the political context! And your soul will save every image full of shame for all time: pants down, pants up, for all time.

Since when has our judiciary had license to abuse and torture? And who gave it to them? And who allows this to happen? The blacks? The Reds? The Greens? For the soul of a human being,it
is an officially covered rape of those under their protection!

What now? It makes no sense to take to the streets again, shouting or silently, hoping for an outcry from the righteous throughout the whole country. Forget it, that was once upon a time. Once upon a time there was a fairy tale of our rule of law.

But who am I writing this to, dear Johanna, who, like many of us who have had enough experience over the last five years to know that the rule of law is in danger of degenerating into a fairy tale. Once again, a kind of modern fascism has crept into the synchronized hearts and minds of our incited and fear-mongering people. Corona ordered - we followed. The law is already marching in lockstep with the rulers. It no longer stands by the little ones. Here and there, it has fallen into disrepair and decay and can be harnessed to the Berlin cart again and again.

At 6 o'clock in the morning they storm into our homes, confiscate, arrest, let us stew in prisons, muzzle free opinion and then shake with laughter at our horror all over the world. Johanna, dear, I am close to you. They wipe their asses with our complaints, to break even one single stake, one person, one soul out of this phalanx of prescribed popular fear - it would be a miracle. And in heaven the old joy would be there again, over just one, one who thinks, asks for forgiveness and repents. - But there is no one, not a single one! Forget it!

The scared citizens sedated by the corona war and climate change, no longer know themselves. And they certainly don't know the noble values from the Holy Scriptures that they keep trumpeting. They no longer know anything about repentance and conversion. They have never heard of it. Otherwise they would immediately understand the dream I had last night. I dreamt: at dawn, a long line of naked men and women with their arms propped up against your prison wall. They had shed all their clothes in solidarity with you, naked.

Because that is the last peaceful card, the last ace up the sleeve of the peace-lovers: making yourself vulnerable, showing your infinite vulnerability. Naked, like the biblical prophet Jeremiah once walked through the streets of Jerusalem; naked, like the man on the cross, naked to point out the humanity in people; naked to show injustice. And then also what happens to those who tolerate it - not through us, we do not hurt anyone, we do not degrade anyone - their self-degradation and its consequences are a law of fate.

It is so important for all of us, Johanna, that you have entrusted us with your story of abuse. It opens our eyes once again to where we have come. From so far away, so close, we squeeze your hands. Alas, we will not be able to bring the perpetrators and those responsible to justice any time soon. The crows don't peck each other's eyes out. The mustiness of recent years is gathering under the black and red gowns. We can rage, we can argue, we can talk, we can whisper, we can do what we want. As if they all had no soul, no dignity, just hearts made of wood, they seem so hardened to me.

They won't cry about themselves - that would be their chance to be softened by themselves and from the inside. But like this? -They will break. In such cases of comprehensive hardening, Jesus advises me and you to turn on your heel and go your own way with this wound. He says this so easily and doesn't think of you, who are trapped. - Yes, he is thinking of you too! For it is not an external path, it is the path that began with your destiny, with your birth: loving and allowing yourself to be loved, the path of dignity that can be taken immediately, no matter where you are and I am.

The great Bonhoeffer in his cell always comes to mind, but also the clear Michael Ballweg in Stammheim, who rediscovered his inner path in the prison cell. Walk the path, it will be noticeable. You will be a different person, you will stand up differently, your steps will be different, your head will no longer hang, more dignified, more determined, more relaxed. You have returned to the old path you were sent on and which is your destiny.

And who are you now, Johanna? You are the one whose dignity can no longer be taken away.

You are a child of God or of the universe. You have been sent to our earth, sent to skillfully uncover injustice and to suffer it.

You live what you were sent to do, so beautifully, so strongly, so weakly, so humanly. Johanna, God bless you."

Scandal In Germany: The Shocking Persecution of Dr. Reiner Füllmich Represents the New Nazi Germany

ADKq_NY0NpnbsUf5lZXvrAct-ayLM0DSu2duTLY-JkyQcnAirxdHMJPjxs38PyD2Dw6NLtDHXsr-jpzDK4MuyDFXjqO1i6z0yXKMCJTTjtj6e8pLrmExVg=s0-d-e1-ft

Dr. Fuellmich was sentenced to 3 years and 9 months in prison

On April 24th Presiding Judge Carsten Schindler and prosecutor Simon Phillip of the Göttingen court in Germany delivered the predetermined verdict for no proven crime.

The previous Göttingen lead prosecutor Reinicke, who had been asked to open an investigation of Fuellmich’s activities, found that there were no grounds upon which to investigate him. The prosecutor archived the case in June 2022.

But the State was determined to remove Reiner from public circulation because he posed a threat to the government by garnering public attention to the fraudulent, fearmongering propaganda.

Beginning in 2020, Reiner was among the early vocal critics who recognized that the draconian Corona (COVID-19) restrictions on personal freedom, fraudulent PCR tests that used to fake non-existing “Covid infection.” Those fake infection claims led to discriminatory exclusion of people from the public square. Reiner alerted the public to government unconstitutional overreach. Overreach that Reiner identified as “crimes against humanity” as defined at the Nuremberg Criminal Nazi Trials

Reiner organized the Corona Investigative Committee whose mission was to shed light on the premeditated, concealed details and nature of the crimes against humanity – which no court in the Western World is Willing to examine and expose.

He invited more than 150 scientists, doctors, legal experts, knowledgeable whistleblowers, and astute observers. (My first interview with Reiner was in March 2021, when I testified about The Roots of Evil. We met in Brussels and in Nuremberg where I delivered a speech about the significance of the Nuremberg Code on its 75th Anniversary.)

Reiner garnered hundreds of thousands of viewers to the Corona Committee video interviews, enlightening them with the truth. That is Reiner’s “crime” for which the German Secret Services –i.e. today’s version of Nazi Germany’s Gestapo -- were determined to put him out of public circulation because he posed a threat to the globally orchestrated fake “pandemic”.

ADKq_NYApmIcDf1DIhW-5w8zZqbFKBZ-ltnDhAAtobM0qDaffOor622Pu8fqPC1QVusSOqxYJxVxku63rBbQz4VM2gq6KDE3lt3HkooUdEmglW-b-KO4cw=s0-d-e1-ft

“Furthermore, beyond his disclosure of “Corona” crimes, “Fuellmich has looked deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole of the plutocrats‘ true crimes against humanity in the last few months of his investigative work. Internationally organized human trafficking, child trafficking, systematic and ritual child abuse, infanticide, organ trafficking, money laundering. Füllmich had – finally – tracked down the biggest crimes and the perpetrators in the background.

Was it a coincidence that the orchestrated kidnapping of the civil rights activist took place at precisely this time? Such a pugnacious lawyer has enormous potential to harm the rulers when he is free….”

Attorney Dr. Reiner Fuellmich sentenced to 3 years and 9 months

Even during his incarcerations -- as he was under extreme duress, Reiner issued a video statement deploring the Genocide in Gaza. Something NO Western government has done! Genocide is streaming on the internet in plain sight, but it is being ignored by Western governments – just as they had ignored the Holocaust! How tragic that the world has learned NOTHING… which is precisely why the genocidal forces have become emboldened!

So anxious was the German government to silence Reiner, they quickly appointed Simon Phillip John, a young, inexperienced prosecutor, transferred him from Hanover to Göttingen, and gave him the task that the seasoned prosecutor had previously deemed to be unjustified.

To prevent Reiner’s defense team from laying out the premeditated concocted “crimes” that they couldn’t prove, they curtailed the defense time and disallowed witnesses for the defense to take the stand. This “kangaroo court proceeding” interrupted and admonished Reiner during his final statement in his defense --at least 12 times. .

In the course of 51 hearings, what we have witnessed is nothing less than an egregious case of obstruction of justice —a criminal offense in Germany— which confirms the intent of the German secret services as stated in their dossier on Reiner Fuellmich.

This dossier was presented to the court by one of Fuellmich’s defense lawyers. It specified that Fuellmich was to be stopped “at all costs”;that “it is necessary to prepare a criminal case against Fuellmich, [including the] collaboration of prosecutors and suitable third parties”; and recommending “the recruitment and involvement of trusted persons amongst Fuellmich’s closest circle.”

The Persecution of Dr. Reiner Fuellmich: The Biggest Judicial Scandal Ever Seen in Germany, Global Research, April 23, 2025

Many have speculated – because evidence of collusion is difficult to obtain – that Judge Carsten Schindler, as well as prosecutor John are “following orders…”

For those old enough to recall, “following orders” was the defense used by every Nazi on trial at Nuremberg in 1947.

The shame is that Germany’s legal system, today, has, once again, assumed the role of enforcing unlawful State edicts. Reiner Fuellmich’s trial proceedings and verdict defied the rule of law. It was all based on unsubstantiated accusations from the outset.

The system that has now sentenced Dr. Fuellmich to the expected long prison sentence has also not been squeamish in its treatment of other critics of the abuses prevailing in the country. Critical statements [regarding government policies] are often punished more severely than mass rape and the most serious acts of violence”.

The German secret services, in collusion with prosecutor Simon Phillip John and Füllmich's accusers, orchestrated a chilling plan to neutralize him. A dossier presented to the court exposed their intent: to fabricate a criminal case, recruit trusted individuals from Füllmich's inner circle, and prevent him from gaining a "politically exposed position." This sinister strategy culminated in his abduction in Mexico on October 12, 2023. Lured to a German consulate under false pretences, and imprisoned in Rosdorf’s maximum-security prison.”

Persecution by the State: German secret service dossier reveals Dr. Reiner Füllmich must be stopped at all costsApril 22, 2025

For over 18 months he was unlawfully incarcerated in pre-trial detention in a maximum-security prison in Rosdorf – where he was in solitary confinement for six months. During his trial, before entering the court, he was body-searched and brought to the court and back to prison in shackles and handcuffs, escorted by armed security officers in armored vehicles, as if he were a serial killer!

Clearly, the abuse and inhumane mistreatment of both Johanna Findeisen and Reiner Fuellmich – as if they were mass murders or serial killers –demonstrates that Germany’s Judicial system is once again, complicit in the criminalization and elimination of political opponents – not to render justice – as the judiciary must in a democratic state.

Thank you all for reading about these personal heroes who risked their comfort and safety to speak out against injustice. Evil can only prevail if good people turn a blind eye.

“Silence in the face of evil is evil.
Not to speak is to speak.
Not to act is to act.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer

If a tidal wave of individuals would stand up and speak out against tyranny, then we will end this massive evil assault and preserve our humanity. The tyrants cannot imprison every one of us….

Never Give In, Never Give Up

Vera
 
The problem is that Fuellmich does appear to have privately spent a sizeable sum of the money from his organization. He claims that he transferred it to his private account to secure it against seizure, but a good part of that money is gone.

Even people who agree with him on everything (such as the German lawyer Holger Fischer) point out that what he did was indeed embezellment of funds.

The treatment in prison and the harassment of people is indeed becoming nazi-like in Germany.

Makes you wonder how far Germany has actually gone down the totalitarian root again? During Corona, it became apparent pretty quickly that totalitarian treatment was in full swing, when you kept hearing of stories (even often locally) that there were raids going on with big police/state forces busting private houses for sins like "having a party" (at least that is what you could hear as an "explanations"). Now after Corona, now and then, you keep hearing in mainstream news that this or that "Reichsbürger" group or gathering was just raided. How much of that "Reichsbürger" label is just a convenient justification to go after ANY person/group/group that is seen as "dangerous" because it expresses truthful things or even just thinks the "wrong things"? I suspect that what we officially hear of might just be the top of the iceberg.

On that note, it is concerning to hear that most if not all the young people that vent viral globally last year for singing "foreigners out" at a party (some with immigration background) seem to have disappeared:


I wouldn't be surprised if some of those people might actually be in prison now, although most of them probably tried to "get underground" because they were defamed. But who knows?
 
I think that labels like "Reichsbürger" are basically a mind control device to stop any critical thinking. Fortunately, previously used labels like "nazi" or even "conspiracy theory" have lost that power to a certain extent. So now all the bad people are "Reichsbürger".
 
concerning "rainer fuellmich" i would like to add this article for some additional information:




(please refrain from getting hung up by the heavily christian background of the article-author bob schlenker. he has some really good insight.)
 
Makes you wonder how far Germany has actually gone down the totalitarian root again?
I don't really wonder how far Europe and the West itself, as well as Germany, have descended back into this historical root. I have read about the paths of these processes and their maturation, like you.
It is necessary to turn well upside down in order to be able to imagine their misguided spirit, which justifies only their own standards, which are out of the norm. They are obviously enjoying it.
The treatment of the mother of 3 children, Johanna, also goes far beyond bullying. And yes, the iceberg only shows its nose, in exposure savvy revelations of this kind.
Thank you for your feedback
 
(please refrain from getting hung up by the heavily christian background of the article-author bob schlenker. he has some really good insight.)
I have to say that I found this interview of Fuellmich #21 posted by @Ursus Minor in the Romania thread very revealing because Georgescu exposes the UN elite in a very methodical way, that gives some merit to Fuellmich as an interviewer (logistics and courage) and then also with the covid thing that must have made some people so uncomfortable that the German secret service did this whole “intelligence” operation at the embassy in Mexico that ended with his imprisonment, which, in my opinion, is an outrage and not because it was him or because of his supposed accusations, but because as a German citizen anyone can be made an official pseudo-kidnapping just because you don't fit in.

And as for your Logo, well...thanks for making the warning because you have to look at it with tongs and I think it is more the cognitive bias of the presenters than what actually remains; yes, I admit that there are things that may look strange but at this point you have to assume that any kind of advertising is a spell and so one should pay attention with conscience, but not judge a book by its cover.

This is true. I guess what is of importance on all these matters would be first and foremost to put them in perspective.
And we may best gain some resemblance of a workable perspective, if we let the flow work.
So i,
aside from some "colour" or "angle" of someone who puts energy into some topic,
am doing my best to consider :-)

Sure enough, there is bias. And surely we all can not be free from it.
And if we count it in - we may get to experience some deeper insights.

Concerning Bob Schlenker and his work - i was (and am) thankful for what he did on the "sodomite gateway". This series gave me good inspirations when connecting it by recognizing different "shades" of how energies and manifestations work .
Like, we all use a different viewing angle "christian, muslim, buddhist and what not" - to catalyse what we experience into our present mental model.

Personally, i can not, for reasons of experience, take any of these people for real.
 
This post is a comment on the recent visit of newly selected German Chancellor Merz, his visit to Lithuania, a Russian perspective and a few flashbacks to history.

Merz warns of Russia threat, vows to defend NATO allies on Lithuania visit

Vilnius (AFP) – Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned Thursday that Russia threatened security in Europe as he visited Lithuania to mark the official formation of Germany's first permanent overseas military unit since World War II, aimed at bolstering NATO's eastern flank.
Issued on: 22/05/2025 - 08:09Modified: 22/05/2025 - 14:54

The decision to build up a 5,000-strong armoured brigade in Lithuania over the coming years came in response to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

"There is a threat to us all from Russia," Merz told reporters in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius.

The German deployment is aimed at deterring potential Russian aggression towards Lithuania and fellow Baltic countries Estonia and Latvia, former Soviet republics that have become NATO and EU members and fear they are increasingly in Moscow's crosshairs.

Merz said Germany was determined to defend the NATO territory, adding: "The security of our Baltic allies is also our security."

While Germany has joined multinational military missions, including in Afghanistan and Mali, a pacifist tradition stemming from its dark World War II history meant Berlin was generally reluctant to do more.

The establishment of a permanent brigade overseas is an unprecedented move for the Bundeswehr, as the German armed forces are known, in the post-war era.

Merz, who became chancellor this month, participated in a ceremony in the main square of Vilnius that officially marked the formation of the heavy combat unit, the 45th tank brigade, also known as the "Lithuania Brigade".

The brigade, to consist of around 4,800 troops and 200 civilian Bundeswehr employees, will be gradually deployed over the coming years and should reach full operational capability by 2027.

An advance party of around 400 Bundeswehr personnel are already in the country, according to the defence ministry.

"Anyone who challenges NATO must know that we are prepared. Anyone who threatens any ally must know that the entire alliance will jointly defend every inch of NATO territory," Merz said.

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda hailed what he called an "unbreakable force" of the alliance with Germany.

[...]

Bigger role​

Merz, who has vowed to build up Europe's "strongest conventional army" by ramping up defence spending, will be keen to use the trip to highlight that Berlin is taking on a bigger role on the international stage amid dizzying political upheavals.
[...]
Keep expanding NATO to make sure there is always a problem to solve.

From the TG channel of Elena Panina, there is a Russian perspective: Елена Панина
The Great European War is on the threshold

"[In Europe, the real Nazism is being revived, and there are plenty of examples of this. Including the speech of the new German Chancellor, Mr. Merz, that it was time for Germany to lead Europe again.
To say such words, well, you have to be very cynical. The militarization of Europe has been proclaimed as one of the main tasks for the second half of the decade. This is a very dangerous trend," he said (ТАСС ) Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on May 23 at a high-level conference dedicated to the historical South Russian lands.

Indeed, the spiral of History returns the European continent to the situation before the First and Second World Wars. The Fourth Reich, whose backbone Germany is once again called upon to become, is preparing for another "Drang nach Osten". Even the approximate date of the new war, 2029-2030, has been named. And who did? German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius (Елена Панина ) and the Inspector General of the Bundeswehr, Carsten Breuer (Елена Панина ).

However, the first violin in the European "orchestra", as in previous years, is played by Britain, which has managed to entangle the largest countries of the continent with its ties: Germany, France, Spain, Poland. Germany is also controlled by Britain, the United States and France through the "Chancellor Act", concluded before 2099. The new German Chancellor, former head of BlackRock Germany Friedrich Merz (Елена Панина ), is also like a native of London.

Given that six countries on the northern flank of NATO share a common border with Russia, the Baltic Sea region may become a hotbed of new tension. And the reason for the war seems to be Moscow's decisive response to blocking the passage of Russian warships and civilian vessels. A corresponding military mini-coalition has already been put together under the auspices of the NATO Baltic Sentry Operation, which began on January 14.

However, the Ukrainian Theater of Operations remains a key region in terms of preparations for a Major European War. The alignment of forces on the territory of the former Ukrainian SSR will ultimately determine the geopolitical positions of the warring parties, becoming the main factor that will either contribute to a Major War or help prevent it.

Trump's demand for NATO allies to increase military spending to 5% of GDP should also be borne in mind. It is unlikely that it is aimed at achieving "world peace." The North Atlantic Alliance was created for the war with the USSR (Russia), and its main purpose has not changed. There was only a desire to extend his area of responsibility to the Asia-Pacific region. At the same time, the United States remains in NATO and retains an active role in it.

Let's not forget that Washington has announced a record US military budget for fiscal year 2026 in the amount of more than $1 trillion. Europe is not far behind, with an EU military budget of €1 trillion by 2030.

Of course, not everything goes smoothly for the globalists. Europe is divided, and parties outside the globalist establishment are becoming more popular there (Елена Панина ), and in the context of an imminent economic crisis due to extremely expensive resources, centrifugal trends in the EU will increase. However, in the eyes of the ruling elite of the largest European countries, Britain, France, Germany and Poland, any crisis is just an excuse to remake the world through "turning the board over," whether it's a pandemic or a Major war. At the same time, the direction of their new expansion is sharply limited — only Russia and Belarus. Unlike the United States, which can deal with the Western Hemisphere: the Panama Canal, Greenland, Canada.

After 80 years of the Great Victory, we have to admit that the lessons of 1945 have been completely forgotten for Europe. The British forgot them right away — and began to prepare the "Unthinkable" plan (Елена Панина ) back at the end of the war. But the German elites have recently risen up and are once again dreaming of Ukraine as their colony.

In these circumstances, it is important for Russia to act preemptively and harshly. It is necessary to stop the preparation of the globalists for a Major European War now, so that we do not pay the price of 27 million lives of our people again. The Ukrainian Theater of operations and the positions gained in it are Russia's key assets for achieving peace in Europe for many years to come. And the better they are, the less chance the enemy has of unleashing another European massacre.

There is much about Germany history that is well buried. In the recent article, They are Burning the Books, one finds indications it is ongoing:
As one example, few people are aware that after World War II, Germany was looted to the bones by the "victors", to an extent few would imagine. It was possible to find literally hundreds of photos of German factories having all their machinery removed, loaded onto freight cars, and being sent to one country or another as "reparations". Every factory of significance in Germany was stripped to the bare walls, with all manufacturing machinery and assets removed. At the time (8 or 10 years ago), I didn't save any of the photos because there were so many and I assumed they would always be there. Not so. More recently, I wanted to write an article on these travesties and was surprised to find that all the pictures had been removed from the Internet. I had saved a few URLs, but those links were dead. I searched for hours with no success. I had friends in Western and Eastern European countries search for me, using their local search engines. Nothing. I abandoned Google and Bing, and tried Yandex, Baidu, and others, with the same result. It appeared that every photo of German factories being looted had been removed from the Internet.
I tried to address the above question of missing photos by machine translating a search string, "Germany factories removed after WWII", into Russian "Заводы в Германии были демонтированы после Второй мировой войны" and work it that way through Yandex. There was an image related to a video, that gave a scope of the operation if not actual pictures:

The above was just for the USSR controlled parts: 339,000 machines, 202,000 electromotors, 44,000 molds, 10,000 turbines, 3500 factories. But the there was more to it than mere machines. This article 11 Million Germans Were Murdered After WWII, mentions Gruesome Harvest: The Allied Attempt to Exterminate Germany after 1945 [_] mentioned along with other books mostly in German.

But that is history or?
[And "former" BlackRock employee:] German chancellor backs Nord Stream ban – FT, but Germany still needs energy: US firms explore reboot of Germany’s nuclear plants – Bild.
Germany’s energy crunch has taken a toll on its economy, now in its third straight year of recession. Nearly 200,000 companies shut down in 2024 – the highest figure since 2011, according to Creditreform. In April 2025, company insolvencies exceeded levels recorded during the 2008 financial crisis.

Fatih Birol, head of the International Energy Agency (IEA), told Bild he expects “a major nuclear comeback.”

From an economic perspective, he said, Germany will need “both storable renewables and nuclear energy.”
It would appear as if the destruction of Germany continues, or is there more to it?

A: No, Terry. There are no countries, only souls.

Q: (Laura) OK. I get it. They are being bought to make sure that they are bought so that they won't think or do anything on their own, or individually. In other words... (Jan) They are being shut up...

A: That is the goal, though not always realized.

Add to that 6,000 kms of railroad tracks and 2,000 locomotives, and it becomes clear why the Soviet zone (which later morphed into the G.D.R.) never had a chance of competing with capitalist West Germany economically let alone politically.

I understand that the US were not much interested in machines and factories of which they had of course plenty.

They were looking for rocket technology and the appropriation of patent files of which the US Field Intelligence Agency managed to bring home 145,000.
 
There was a mass stabbing just two days ago in Hamburg. The suspect is a 39-year old woman who is said to have been released from the psychiatric ward just one day before. She was also known to the police. Translation by DeepL:

Hamburg: A total of 18 injured after knife attack - perpetrator was known to the police

[24. 05. 2025]

A 39-year-old woman randomly stabbed travelers at Hamburg Central Station yesterday evening, injuring 18 people, four of them seriously. None of the victims are in mortal danger anymore. The perpetrator was known to the police as “mentally conspicuous”.

A 39-year-old German woman caused a major police and fire department operation at Hamburg Central Station early yesterday evening. She indiscriminately stabbed passengers and people waiting on a platform. According to media reports, a total of 18 people were injured in the attack on Friday evening. According to the hospitals treating the four seriously injured, their lives are no longer in danger.

Patrolling DB security staff and federal police officers were able to quickly overpower the woman and prevent anything worse from happening. Hamburg Central Station is a so-called “no-knife zone”, which has been in force for the entire Hamburg public transport system since December last year. The RND article on the crime states:

“Since October 1, 2023, knives have been banned in the central station area. According to the Federal Police, the transport hub was one of the most dangerous train stations in Germany in 2022. According to official information, the situation has since improved.”

A police spokesperson said in an X article a few hours after the crime that initial findings were available, “on the basis of which we are examining in particular whether the woman could have been in a state of mental emergency”. According to Bild, the woman is “known to be mentally ill”. She had “already had several stays in a psychiatric ward”.

Analyzed images from the surveillance cameras at the main station showed that the woman “acted alone on the platform and that there were no other accomplices”
, reports Bild. According to the media, the perpetrator is still in police custody, the police announced. The homicide squad has taken up the investigation.

The station is one of the busiest transport hubs in Germany.

Like with similar attacks, one cannot know if she truly acted alone or not. With time there will be more information. However, incidents like this one are becoming more and more common, unfortunately, and not only in Germany.

Interesting, yesterday I just thought about the Russian soul as in coming through, i.e. like when listening to Russian classical music. And this morning my thoughts went to your post and about how the C's said that Germany is a target with immigration as one of the main pillars for destabilisation.

And it made me think that Germany has been a target for a very long time, at least since the later 19th century (it is even a topic in one of the romance novels featuring a Scottish Duke family [The McKenzie series from Jennifer Ashley], with the head of them having much power in the British Empire at the time). The German soul has become quite corrupted since then, and we now see additional hights that haven't been present yet around the Second World War - like identity politics and cultural marxism, which is destroying our culture further.

The destruction and deformation of the German language is a prime example here. And it is not just deleting terms which are deemed racist etc. Since a few years one can also increasingly hear young adults talking a mix of English and German in the streets like it is a new trend (probably mostly driven by influencers on social media); and it is not just the familiar anglicisms we have here since decades. It's like a development of "Neusprech" (newspeak) that should reflect "diversity". (However, I've heard when talking to foreigners that impoverishment of language is not only affecting Germany.) So they've not only been stripping us of our economic resources and continue to do so but of our intellectual resources and cultural heritage too.

Russia has been targeted as well (think of the revolution from 1917); and with these two countries having been pitted against each other in the last more than 100 years. But Russia is keeping its own ground thus far, and they manage to keep their culture intact as far as I see; although there are influences, also from inside the counry, trying to corrupt and destroy.

To end this post, I think a big factor that contributes to the destruction of Germany and our culture is the guilt complex that is continued to be instilled in young people since the end of WW II - that youngsters are made to believe they are still responsible for what their grand- or great-grandparents did in the 1930ies and 40ies, or for whatever happend during that time. They believe it was their culture or "German-ness" in general that contributed to the development of these conditions (instead of ponerological processes - due to a lack of general knowledge about ponerology), and thus it needs to be shed in order to prevent an "ever again" (but I think we have a "once again" already).

Post war Germans mostly have a deep-seated longing to lose their national identity, that is why globalism, European unificationism, racial diversity and talking to each other in English is giving them some relief.

The German middle class has aways been open to foreign languages though. In the 19th century they were eager to talk in French to distinguish themselves from the common people. Centuries earlier you were venerated for being able to converse in Latin.

What it has come to nowadays is that there are English-speaking Germans working at German advertising agencies creating English slogans for German products.

Years ago DER SPIEGEL compiled a sobering overview Worst case ist keine Wurstkiste of English language commercials directed at the German public. Fourteen years later thanks to the mobile internet younger people will have less trouble understanding.
