This is the last of four reports on Germany in crisis. The preceding parts of this series are here, here, and here.
DRESDEN—When Friedrich Merz is formally named Germany’s next chancellor on May 6, it will be a significant event and a nonevent all at once. The war-mongering Merz will lead the Federal Republic down a path we — joining what seems a majority of German voters — must all oppose.
Merz, pouncing immediately after the much-watched elections in February, has already made the nation’s future direction clear. The date we need to think about is not May 6. It is March 18, when a vote in the Bundestag confirmed what was by then bitterly evident: Germany’s postwar democracy is failing; a sequestered elite in Berlin now proposes to set the nation’s course irrespective of voters’ preferences.
March 18, a Tuesday, was the day the German parliament removed a constitutional limit on government debt. This marked more, far more, than an adjustment in Germany’s famously austere fiscal regime. It was the day lawmakers approved, in effect if not on paper, new defense spending of €1 trillion ($1.3 trillion). This was the day the Federal Republic voted to remilitarize. It was the day those purporting to lead Germany decisively repudiated a political tradition worth defending and determined to return to another tradition — one the nation seems, regrettably, never able to leave entirely behind.
The particulars of the 512 to 206 vote are plain enough. The law on federal borrowing, in place since the 2008 financial crisis, is very strict: It limits debt to 0.35% of GDP — roughly a tenth of what the European Union allows members. But Berlin has been restive within this limit for years. It was an internecine fight over the “debt brake,” as it is called, that caused the collapse last autumn of the none-too-sturdy coalition led by the wayward Olaf Scholz. The Bundestag vote removes the brake on public borrowing allocated to military spending above 1% of GDP. As is widely acknowledged, this formula implies that expenditures could exceed the €1 trillion commonly cited.
While the Germans have been near to neurotic about official debt since the hyperinflation of the Weimar days a century ago, the Bundestag has voted Germany past this paranoia in favor of another one. The nation’s neoliberal “centrists” — who now declare themselves very other than the center of anything — have just told Germans, Europeans, and the rest of the world that Germany will now drop the Social Democratic standard the nation has long held high in the service of a wartime economy with its very own military-industrial complex.
It is well to understand this as a political disaster whose import extends far beyond the Federal Republic. Indeed, it appears to mark the end of an era across the West. And it is a blow to anyone entertaining hope that we might achieve an orderly world beyond the rules-based disorder that now blights humanity.
The authors of this transformation are those parties that have negotiated a new coalition in the weeks since the Bundestag vote: Merz’s Christian Democratic Union and the Christian Social Union, the CDU’s traditional partner, will enter into an odd-but-not-so-odd alliance with the Social Democrats, the SPD. The Grünen also voted for expanded military spending, but the Greens, along with the SPD, were roundly discredited in the elections of Feb. 23 and will not serve in the new government. I have met not a single German who will miss them.
All of these parties carry on incessantly about the authoritarianism of their opponents — this as they join to inflict an era of centrist authoritarianism on Germany’s 83 million people. They are more or less hostile to prevailing concerns among voters — the questions that moved the percentages in favor of the opposition in the elections. These include the Scholz government’s calamitous management of the economy, a too-liberal immigration policy (which has hit the former East German states hardest), Berlin’s undue deference to Brussels technocrats, Germany’s participation in America’s proxy war in Ukraine and, not least, the severe breach in Germany’s relations with the Russian Federation.
Russophobia has been evident for years among Berlin’s governing elites — if not in the business class and elsewhere. This, too, now takes a turn in the most wrong direction. There is only one argument, too obvious to name, for rearming a nation that has famously restricted its military profile for the past eight decades. Merz rushed through the March 18 vote with uninhibited crudity — evidently to preclude substantive debate. He will now lead a government of compulsively anti–Russian ideologues who will tilt Germany disturbingly in the direction of the aggressions of the two world wars and the divisive hawkery of the Cold War decades.
This is now on paper. After weeks of negotiation, the conservative CDU and the nominally-but-no-longer Social-Democratic Party, the SPD, made public their coalition agreement on April 9. Here is an extract from the section headed “Foreign and defense policy”:
Our security is under greater threat today than at any time since the end of the Cold War. The greatest and most direct threat comes from Russia, which is now in its fourth year of waging a brutal war of aggression against Ukraine in violation of international law and is continuing to arm itself on a massive scale. Vladimir Putin’s quest for power is directed against the rules-based international order….
We will create all the conditions necessary for the Bundeswehr to be able to fully perform the task of national and alliance defense. Our aim is for the Bundeswehr to make a key contribution to NATO’s deterrence and defense capability and to become a role model among our allies….
We will provide Ukraine with comprehensive support so that it can effectively defend itself against the Russian aggressor and assert itself in negotiations….
There is some code in this passage, easily enough legible. The new coalition is preparing the German public, along with the rest of the world, for the deployment of German troops abroad for the first time since World War II. As noted in the first piece in this series, the Bundeswehr began moving an armored brigade into Lithuania on April 1, a week before the coalition disclosed the terms of its accord. This is the front end of the new German military posture: There is likely to be much more of this to come.
There is also the notion of Germany as a role model for the rest of Europe. This comes straight from Merz’s side of the coalition, in my read, given his ambition to carry not only Germany’s banner but also the Continent’s. There is, indeed, a power vacuum in Europe, made more evident since the Trump administration signaled its lapsing interest in the security umbrella under which the United States has long allowed Europeans to shelter. Merz and his new political partners are right about this.
But how hopelessly unimaginative do Germany’s neoliberal elites prove as they propose a new purpose for the Federal Republic and those they wish to follow it. What is this other than old wine in old bottles?
In my read, those purporting to lead Germany have so thoroughly and for so long suffused public space with the tropes of Cold War paranoia that they can no longer change direction without discrediting themselves. They have, as the saying goes, no reverse gear. Or to reference the observation of a friend I quoted in the previous piece in this series, the entrenched German leadership has been speaking the language of the victor so long it knows no other — this even as the victor grows tired of speaking it.
German voters are equally weary of hearing it, if the elections and various polls conducted since can be taken as any guide. But Merz and his people show little interest in the electorate’s preferences. The running theme among them is that Germany and the rest of Europe should be prepared to wage war against Russia within five years. You hear this regularly now. Johann Wadephul, an arch-conservative Bundestag member who is expected to serve as Merz’s foreign minister, has a telling explanation for the German public’s resistance to any such prospect. They are “repressing” the reality of the Russian threat, he said at a think tank conference a few days before the new coalition issued its accord last month. They are “in denial.”
Wadephul spoke after errant members of the CDU and the Social Democrats dared to suggest publicly that the Federal Republic should, after all, consider resuming trade relations with Russia, so reviving the energy contracts severed as part of the U.S.–imposed sanctions regime against the Russian Federation. “The most acute threat to us — to our lives, to the legal system, but also to the physical lives of all people in Europe — is now Russia,” Wadephul told his apparently sympathetic audience. “They do not want to accept it.”
As political argument, this is as lame as I have seen in many years.
Russians have paid close attention to these choppy political waters since the recent Bundestag vote, to state what will surely be obvious. And no one has made Moscow’s distress plainer than Maria Zakharova, the articulate, ever-incisive spokesperson at the Foreign Ministry. I quote at length her statement, delivered two days after the Bundestag vote, for the weight of history she brings to this momentous shift in Berlin’s geopolitical thinking:
March 18, 2025, marks a significant date…. To put it plainly, this decision signifies the country’s transition onto a path of accelerated militarisation.
Does this not evoke a sense of déjà vu?…. The haste and unprincipled manner in which this decision was adopted serve as a vivid testament to the reckless anti–Russian course pursued by ruling circles in the Federal Republic of Germany.
There is another reason. The absence of resources — the resource base that existed until Berlin ceased using Russian energy resources under U.S. orders — denies Germans the capacity to develop at the pace they anticipated and upon which their economy was structured. The internal economic collapse leaves them no alternative but to revert to a historically tested approach…. They appear, however, to have forgotten the consequences: the absolute collapse of the nation. This has occurred repeatedly. Yet, evidently, their rewriting of history is taking its toll. They have forgotten it.
How can one not recall the well-known thesis regarding the ingrained desire for historical revanchism within the genetic makeup of German political elites? Alas, such tendencies, once every century, override common sense and even the instinct of self-preservation. Is this not so?
I have to say straightaway that Zakharova is carelessly wrong to assign this new turn to Germany’s genetic makeup. She makes what is known as a national character argument: The Germans are doing this because they are German and this is what Germans do. There is no circumstance under which this insidious line of reasoning is defensible. I am surprised Zakharova does not know better.
But she is right as rain in her analysis of the strategy Merz and his partners in another unpopular coalition are deploying in defense of their hold on power. As many German economists will tell you, there is no reconciling Russophobia and the sanctions regime that accompanies it with any kind of economic recovery. A new military-industrial complex — the dismantling of the social welfare apparatus and the accumulation of national debt its collateral consequences — is in this dimension a cynical attempt to revive GDP growth without resorting to its traditional sources.
Curiously enough, Zakharova also echoes an honorable tradition in postwar German historiography, the leading exponent of which was a leftist scholar named Hans–Ulrich Wehler (1931–2014). Wehler held that Germany tends to turn repeatedly to aggression abroad in response to various sorts of domestic turmoil — class struggle and the disruptions of industrialization prior to World War I, the chaos of the Weimar years. Now, amid a mounting animus toward Berlin’s entrenched neoliberals, the nation appears again to follow the pattern Wehler identified.
He identified a phenomenon he called “social imperialism,” an imperialism turned inward that governing elites use to control political, social and economic antagonisms. In this connection, German friends remind me of Kaiser Wilhelm’s most famous pronouncement, delivered in 1914 to reconcile animosities between Social Democrats and the Reich’s loyalists: “I no longer know any parties. I know only Germans.”
There is no talking of “only Germans” now. The election results made this plain in statistics. The parties that advanced most impressively were those in opposition to the so-called centrists: Alternative für Deutschland doubled its share of the vote, to 21%, immediately making it the No. 2 party in the Bundestag. Die Linke, The Left, and Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht, BSW, also grew, although their numbers are smaller. These gains were yet more marked in the former East Germany.
Here is Karl–Jürgen Müller, a historian by training and a close student of the polls, in Current Concerns, a twice-monthly journal published simultaneously in German as Zeit–Fragen and in French as Horizons et débats:
Voter turnout was higher than it had been for almost 40 years: 82.5 per cent. More “dissatisfied” citizens voted. But it can also be put another way: More and more citizens not only want a different policy, they are also expressing this — this time with their vote…. Or: Many young voters aged 18–24 voted for Die Linke or the AfD: 25 per cent for Die Linke and 22 per cent for the AfD. Together, that is almost half of all young voters….
These three [opposition] parties, often marginalised by the majority of West German power elites and media, together achieved an absolute majority of votes in East Germany: 54.7 per cent.
Reflecting the now-chronic volatility of German politics, the nation has effectively continued to vote since the February elections. Merz and his Christian Democrats have steadily lost support even before he is named chancellor. And a series of polls conducted in early April show that AfD now ranks as Germany’s No. 1 political party. This marks an historic shift in power away from the nation’s traditional parties. Many analysts say it reflects widespread disapproval among voters as they watched the CDU negotiate yet another going-nowhere coalition with the Social Democrats.
To one or another degree, Germans are stunned by the AfD’s rise to the top. But let us be clear as to why. The thought that the now-undeniable prominence of a rightist party signals some kind of Nazi revival in Germany is beyond preposterous. You can read all about this in The New York Times and other Western media, but you cannot find it while walking around in Germany.
AfD was founded a dozen years ago by Euroskeptics opposed to the anti-democratic intrusions of Brussels technocrats and to a runaway influx of immigrants. It is “nationalist” insofar as it favors German sovereignty and “pro–Russian” insofar as it considers the breach of interdependent relations with the Russian Federation ruinous. As the party gained adherents it attracted various far-right elements — this cannot be disputed — but these are best understood as the fringe of a once-fringe party. No, Germans are startled by AfD’s arrival as their leading political party because it suggests the major parties’ long grip on power is slipping or has, indeed, just slipped. And they are stunned twice over as the centrist parties block it from the government by way of an openly undemocratic “firewall” that is likely to remain in place regardless of AfD’s standing with the public.
Germany’s domestic intelligence service indicated Friday, May 2, that it is considering steps officially to classify AfD as “extremist” and so outlaw it entirely. Let’s take just a sec to get this straight. German citizens are to be protected from a party that enjoys more support among them than any other? How ridiculous is the Merz clique going to get? The neoliberal authoritarians who control Berlin are now down to erecting barricades to keep out the hordes commonly known as voters.
Germans are once again a nation divided, to put the point too mildly. There is no mistaking this when you are among them. As so often over the past two centuries, they share few things but for an uncertainty as to their identity. In Gordon Craig’s terms, the terms he derived from Ferdinand Freiligrath, the poet of the 1840s democracy movement, the nation once again finds itself Hamlet. The ruling elite’s authoritarianism and Russophobia meet an evident impulse to reconstruct bottom-up forms of democracy and to resign the Federal Republic from the East–West animosities of the past — and the arriving present, alas. The lost man of Europe is still lost.
Maria Zakharova, in her comment on the Bundestag vote, said something that caught my eye for its insight into what is happening on the ground in Germany, away from the cameras and the mainstream media’s attention. “German citizens,” she observed, “still have an opportunity to question their own authorities: What have they conceived, and into what adventurism are they attempting to drag the European Continent?”
I do not know how Zakharova comes by her certainty on this question, given her daily duties at the Foreign Ministry in Moscow. But it is precisely what I found as I traveled among Germans — in the West, yes, but emphatically in the old German Democratic Republic. There remains an opportunity, and many Germans are looking for it.

Dresden sits hard by the Elbe. It was on the river’s opposite banks on Apr. 25, 1945, that Allied and Red Army soldiers stared at one another, eventually crossing it in one of the great encounters of World War II’s concluding days. My excitement on seeing the Elbe for the first time, during my recent reporting travels, will always remain with me.
The stone buildings that survived the infamous firebombing of Dresden in February 1945 are charred black, giving the city the look of an eternal memorial to the 25,000 lives lost over those two dreadful nights. One of these is a church called Frauenkirche, a splendidly proportioned Baroque specimen that was burned badly. Reconstructed in the 1990s, it is now crowded with tourists daily.
As I stood in line to enter the church one bright, blustery day, there was a man off to the right selling the usual cellophane-wrapped prints one sees at tourist sites the Western world over. My companion pointed to one that, with no picturesque image, was simply some lines inscribed in Fraktur, the old German script.
“You had better let me translate this for you,” my companion said. She wore an amused smile as she spoke. And then her impromptu translation: “It is not enough to have no ideas. You must also be incapable of executing any.”
I instantly burst into a sort of baffled laughter. What supremely ironic sensibility had produced this? How many levels of meaning did I have to plumb? Why was this on offer outside a solemn site that has become a symbol of post–Cold War reconciliation?
I looked at the man sitting in a folding canvas chair beside his rack of wares. He was somewhere in his 50s or 60s, graying blond hair, toothy smile. He might have been a carpenter or a clerk or a teacher, and, for all I know, he was one or another of these. Our eyes met. And as my amusement tipped into uncontrolled guffaws, he burst into laughter with me. He seemed to think I understood, or he wanted me to understand: It was one or the other.
I bought the hand-lettered sheet, good paper under a beige matte board, for €10. It is a small treasure.
An ordinary afternoon in a square in central Dresden, the mirthful man and his bins of prints, one artfully lettered piece mixed in with quaint images of townhouses, church spires, cobblestone streets: I have thought often since that day of the scene outside the Frauenkirche. And over time I have come to understand. This is how the people of the old East Germany address the people of the old West Germany. They speak with irony and disdain — piercing sarcasm and bitter humor an habitual resort. You hear in them what I came to read in the phrases rendered in Fraktur: You hear reproach, you hear refusal, you hear an independent intelligence, you hear truths you do not hear elsewhere.
There are commonly accepted ways to measure the inequalities between the two halves of the reconstituted Federal Republic. Wages are lower in the former German Democratic Republic than in the west, by 25%. Unemployment in the east is higher than in the west — by a third. Good jobs are scarcer in the old GDR, as most of the strong, powerful industries that earned Germany its success — steel, autos, machinery, chemicals, electronics — are in the western half. As those who live in the old GDR will readily explain, most senior positions in the eastern half — in the now-privatized enterprises, the universities, the banks, and so on — are held by Germans from the west.
In this way “reunification” is not quite the word for what happened on Oct. 3, 1990: Better to say it effectively turned East Germany into a colony of West Germany. Resentment, an obvious consequence, is easily legible in the Feb. 23 results. In the eastern states the three opposition parties mentioned earlier — AfD, Die Linke, BSW — easily outperformed the mainstream parties as measured against the previous elections. There are some protest voters in the numbers, as many of the German with whom I spoke — not all, I must add — told me. But protest is not all there is to read into the results. Voters in the old GDR are also more ardent than in the west as they search for a new national direction.
I come again to questions of identity and consciousness. East Germans were never subjected to those fateful Americanization programs the postwar Federal Republic endured during the Cold War years. There was no unmooring as occurred among West Germans. This different experience has born profound consequences. East Germans were not, so to say, separated from themselves as West Germans were; their identities were by comparison undisturbed. As those in the eastern states often explain, they developed an abiding distrust of authority during the GDR years. But a paradox here: It was in their resistance to the East German state that East German people preserved who they were, what it was that made them German. And it is this distrust and resistance that informs their views and attitudes today toward Berlin and the west of Germany — their disdain, their refusals. More than one easterner told me they view the centrist regime in Berlin as another dictatorship.
An hour’s drive east of Dresden, across vast flat stretches of what were once collective farms, you come to a town in Saxony called Bautzen. The French commonly speak of la France profonde, “deep France,” literally — the untouched France of the old villages and farms. Bautzen, it seems useful to say, lies in what we can think of as deep Deutscheland. You find in the place and its people another idea of Germany — alive and well enough, precisely the Germany the neoliberal centrists in Berlin appear determined to extinguish.
Bautzen, with a population of 38,000, has a varied history. It traces its beginning to the early 11th century and is pleased today to display its origins in the Middle Ages. (If you like Medieval towers, this is your place: A dozen of them still mark out the town’s perimeters.) The Third Reich operated a concentration camp there, part of the Groß–Rosen network. The Red Army liberated the Bautzen subcamp on Apr. 20, 1945, five days before Soviet troops met the Allies at the Elbe. From 1952 until the fall of the Berlin Wall, the East German Stasi used the former camp as a notorious prison nicknamed Gelbes Elend, “Yellow Misery,” for the color of its walls.
During the GDR days the people of Bautzen began what they called “Monday night demonstrations” at Gelbes Elend. At their largest these weekly occasions attracted up to 5,000 people, and they had a standard slogan. “We are the people” can be fully understood only in its historical context. The GDR advanced itself as “the people’s democracy,” or “the people’s republic.” The words chanted at the protests outside the Stasi prison on Mondays were a pointed reply, the stress in the phrase falling in translation on the first word: “We are the people.”
At the end of my visit to Bautzen, I met for dinner with some of those who led those demonstrations. We gathered at a cavern-like restaurant that had long ago been a monastery. The waiters wore monks’ robes and the menu featured (for better or worse) Medieval dishes. The beer (for the better) was also from an old recipe — a rich red brew served in crude clay steins. I do not know whether our hosts intended this, but Mönchshof zu Bautzen, as the place was called, was faintly suggestive of their project. This was to rediscover what it means to be authentically German — not in any kind of nativist or reactionary fashion, but as self-preservation, a defense against the neoliberalism Berlin sponsors.
The Monday demonstrations spread widely during the GDR decades and were six-figures large in Dresden, Leipzig, and other cities. They continue now, if on a much smaller scale. And the slogan at all of them is a straight carryover: “We are the people” is still in its way a response to the pretensions of power in Berlin. Working through an interpreter, I asked those ranged around our table, an assemblage of rough-hewn boards, what their politics were. “AfD? Die Linke? Sahra Wagenknecht’s BSW?” The last is a left-populist breakaway from The Left.
“We take no interest in the political parties, none of them,” one of my hosts said. “We don’t think in terms of ‘left’ and ‘right,’ either. We come together on the basis of facts. We’re trying to build what you would call ‘a people’s movement.’”
The phrase — how to say this? — did not instill confidence. To an American ear “a people’s movement” suggested I was at a table of dreamers in one of who knows how many towns reunification had served badly. When I mentioned this to Karl–Jürgen Müller, the student of German politics quoted earlier, he replied, “You’re looking at the tip of an iceberg. Beneath the surface there’s a lot more of this.”
This seemed the case as the evening went on and those assembled told me of the conferences and congresses they organize regularly with other communities. In the back of the notebook I used that evening I find a well-produced accordion brochure announcing a “Kongress Frieden und Dialog,” a Congress for Peace and Dialogue,” in Liebstedt, a Thuringian town near Weimar, 260 kilometers distant.
I had heard the same frustration with Germany’s traditional party politics many times in the course of my reporting. I do not mean to suggest any kind of imminent nationwide insurgency. What I saw at ground level seemed to me nascent, a suggestion and no more of a possible future. As we drove back from Bautzen to Dresden I thought of something Dirk Pohlmann, the broadcast journalist and documentarian, had said when we spoke in Potsdam. “We’re sitting atop a tectonic shift,” he told me. “The Greens are done. The Free Democrats [among the other big losers in February] are done. The major parties are weak. People are looking for unities on questions of right and wrong. ‘Left’ and ‘right’ have nothing to do with this.”
“Maybe” is my view on this question.
Pohlmann and those I met in Bautzen explained another mystery — the strange “voter migration” evident in the February election results: Social Democrats jumping to AfD, Christian Democrats crossing over to Die Linke and BSW, Die Linke voters going over to AfD. It seemed indecipherable as analyses of the results first came out — Germany as a kind of madhouse of wanderers. But after my time in Bautzen I twigged: Yes, it is a nation of wanderers, but it is also one of seekers. “We’re all looking for our country,” Dirk had said. It was too early in my sojourn among Germans, and I hadn’t understood this truest of things then.

Zakharova is correct. Large populations with a distinct culture behave in certain ways. You, indeed, lend credence to Z.’s statement following this erroneous declaration.
You are a good observer and interpreter of the obvious, but cannot venture and use more complex psychological structures and analysis; and certainly not spiritual sickness. C. G. Jung did and analysis of the German People’s Collective Consciousness, The Nazi Party, and most importantly, Adolph Hitler. In the 1930’s. Jung’s insights into the human psyche in many dimensions is one of the most profound in human history. He is a buddha, a notable exception and exemplary figure who can see and analyze beyond the sensate.
I would recommend you extend your range, and become more familiar with Jung, The Buddha, and like beyond 5 senses. Along the way, you should focus your attention on Russian Civilization and Orthodoxy, which overlaps the above studies.
>Bautzen, with a population of 38,000, has a varied history.
Only an idiot would go to Bautzen and pontificate about what’s important for Germany’s future — let’s see what Wikipedia says about the demography of Bautzen:
In 2011 Bautzen had an extremely small number of foreigners, less than 2% — this changed after 2015, but it was still less than 5%.
All the money bullshit that Lawrence spends a lot of time on can be easily fixed — what cannot be so easily fixed is the demographic catastrophe that is overwhelming Germany today — you have to spend time in the larger cities to see how the country is filling up with third world racial trash, people who fill welfare rolls, fill the schools with their stupid kids, and fill the streets with their Sperrmüll — they are also the reason rent and health insurance costs have risen so dramatically in recent years — this is the more important issue — it’s also the reason the Verfassungsschutz recently declared the AfD ‘gesichert rechtsextreme’, claiming it was due to ‘ethnischem Volksbegriff’:
Got that? — if you don’t think a Somali who now has German citizenship is quite as German as Bismarck, then in the view of the media and ruling political elite you are ‘gesichert rechtsextreme’, and your political party can be banned.
This is by far the biggest problem facing Germany today.
Merz takes his order directly from his former bosses at Blackrock. He is so unpopular that even today he couldn’t get enough votes in the mock “parliament” called the bundestag to become chancellor.
They had to vote again until he got the right numbers of vote.
And the clowns in the bundestag are not the German citizens, they are the privileged parasitic class, most of them “elected” through fraud during the last rigged “elections”.
Merz’ agenda is to destroy what is left of Germany and Europe. He is the German Starmer (who took a big slap in his face in the last local elections https://expose-news.com/2025/05/04/the-uk-is-ready-for-change/).
The problem is that Germans are famous for being the worst kind of sheeple. There is a reason why they started with the fraudulent PCR test and face diapering there during the covid coup.
Basically, Germans will do nothing and run to the chute like sheep.
This is the country where a famous international lawyer just spent illegally 18 month in a high security prison for allegedly not repaying a loan (in fact he is innocent), being persecuted, tortured, shackled, confined, isolated and almost stabbed and finally sentenced to 2 more years and a half to jail for a crime he never committed.
I am talking about Reiner Fuellmich and all that happens in almost complete media silence from both mainstream and alt-media and he was totally ignored by all political parties including AfD who did nothing to help him.
Now that they have become the next target of the German new Stasi , maybe they will get it (first they came for x and I did nothing).

Germany is a totalitarian police state and under the Jewish puppet Merz, it is going to become worse.
This is the same in all European countries under Brussels yoke and actually the exact same under Trump’s regime.
They are building the global tyranny they promised they will and people keep sleeping.
Germany self-destructed by its own philosophically inept hands over the course of a century, although the tentacles of the Hebrew octopus likely worked some magic in the background of events in Berlin as early as 1842, when Karl Marx (grandson of a rabbi) was still incubating his ‘Communist Manifesto.’ Here is our attempt to explain how it all began:

Note that to view the article, simply SCROLL DOWN; no sign-in is necessary.
All serious governments are “authoritarian” as the postwar world understands the term.
“Democracy” is just smokescreen.
“Democracy” is simply the shortest path from a pro-native autocracy (e.g. NS Germany) and a globalist, anti-nation autocracy (todays’ Germany).
If the nation was actually given a choice, they would obviously choose the autocracy that works for them (e.g., NS or AfD) not the one that views them as tax donkeys and cattle (Mertz).
You were doing fine before this drivel.
“National character” i,e, genetics, is a thing and it does matter.
The marked characterists of my own people, the English, are very different from those of the French, separated by a mere 25 miles of water.
To not know this is astonishing.

I agree with you a great deal. This is all about basic Germanic character. In this case, it I most specifically about the WASP (Wealthy Anglo-Saxon Protestant) imperial culture using the Federal Republic of Germany in a new way that is the old Germanic way.
All Germanic tribes but the Franks enter world history as nothing more than pirates, vikings. The own raise and work milk cows and goats and chickens. But the men were pirates, on ships using rivers and oceans and lakes, and on horseback. They made their livings by attacking other peoples and slaughtering them to take their stuff and then also selling survivors into slavery. That is what the film Norseman shows well for those with eyes to see. The only law of moral philosophy that ruled among pagan Germanic peoples was Might Makes Right.
Germanic peoples are perhaps then best understood as European Mongols. And they are unique among all Indo-European peoples in that regard.
What civilized Germans is being Catholicized. Being some heretical form of Christianity obviously did not do the trick as the clear majority of Goth elites in the early 5th century were Arian heretics and not Norse pagans. It took Latin Mass Catholicism, which because of Latin began reining the Germanic brain in matters of religion and thus ‘philosophy’ and morality.
The Reformation undid that very quickly as The Peasants War and The 30 Years War and the Anglo-Saxon Puritans all attest very horrifically.
So what we had in the 20th century was WASP empire acting to prove to Continental Germans that WASP is RIGHT because of greater might. WW2 ‘proved’ that, and naturally the Federal Republic of Germany became a lapdog serving that which had proven mightier. That service used to be given in the form of Germany the FDR being fiscally responsible and slowly committing cultural and even genetic suicide. But now the WASP empire, which is Anglo-Zionism, wants Germany to again become a warrior nation so that Germans may die for WASP empire.
So, absolutely what we see going on is explained not just well but essentially throughly by Germanic character that is bred from the marrow bone.
Either Germany reconverts to Latin Mass Christianity, or else Germany will die a suicide before long.
The same Fate awaits England and France and Spain and Italy, etc.

Gosh, by that time, Vladimir Jewtin’s “full-scale invasion” should be within a 100 miles of Odessa. LOL
.. ever since Merkel let in half the Middle East.
I don’t know … the AfD, just like the NSDAP, is run by a gay Zionist, isn’t it? LOL
Actually, IIRC, the AfD was originally founded in opposition to the euro (rather than the EU itself) as a result of the economic crises of 2008-2011. They were probably always opposed to immigration, too, I’m sure, but that only became their #1 issue after Merkel opened the floodgates a few years later.
Auf dem Land gibt es noch Deutsche, in den Staedten kaum. Dirk Pohlman gets it almost right. However, many Germans are no longer “looking for our(their) country”, they have in fact rediscovered it and found that it no longer belongs to them. I suspect many who voted against the main stream parties are not looking for a country but for a Volk. The election result probably indicated that Germans are split as to wether or not Tin Nguyen, Emre Akbas, citizens or not, Hochdeutsch sprecher oder nicht, are now or ever will be Deutsche.
Lenin famously complained you cannot have a revolution in Germany because
the Germans would patiently wait for their ration cards for red cloth 😋
You are not going to like the Germans 😬 when they snap out of their
National Masochism, which is as certain as the amen in church
(alternatively, they may simply die – either way the Jews and “Europeans”
will have to work for themselves again).
How was it different for other peoples? Might is Right is how it always works and has always worked even among the so called traditionally “civilized” people around the World.
It always leaves me with a sense of both amusement and contempt when someone purports to speak authoritatively about Hitler, yet they display that they have read so little about him that they are incapable of simply spelling correctly his five-letter, two-syllable first name.
The AfD in Germany & Reform in the UK are now the most popular parties, but it’s too late. The AfD will be banned and one way or another Starmer will figure out a way to do the same to Reform. Last summer the UK voters had their chance to put Reform in power but blew it by voting Liebour, just as German voters blew their chance weeks ago to put AfD in power but voted for the usual EU/WEF/Ziowhores.
Once again the cattle wake up only when they see the brass hammer.
“My spirit will rise from the grave and the world will see I was right.”
Funny thing is how Merz has embraced SED which shows how far adrift of Adenauer-Kohl Era Merkel has shifted CDU
It was Germany that forced Maastricht Criteria on EU and Schauble who was hardline on Schuldenbremse
Now with Rose Ladson in Brussels and Merz in Berlin the Criteria have been disabled so Debt can explode to US levels. Unless Germany agrees to EU Debt Increases EU will not permit Berlin to use the debt ceiling increase Merz forced through on 18 March since it breaches Maastricht Criteria
Faeser used Haldenzwang resignation to direct Government Department laughingly called BfV to produce report obstructing CDU cooperation with AfD especially in East and thus reinforcing SPD power even though it has only 15% votes and is dead in East
This is Weimar chicanery
Democracy is dead when great wealth inequality exists – that was basis of Social Democracy that high taxation on rich would curtail tendency to oligarchy
Everyone’s a historical revanchist … until they’re wiped out from history altogether.
I got news for you: The AfD also consists of the usual Ziowhores: https://www.timesofisrael.com/yair-netanyahu-is-now-the-poster-boy-for-a-german-far-right-politician/
The leader of the AfD is a neoliberal Lesbian whose girl-friend is from Sri Lanka.
The jews have destroyed the West spiritually through their control of the media. They have destroyed it racially through their promotion of non-white immigration.
Now is the logical moment to destroy it physically.
So…
I’m with Merz.
Let the games begin!
NUCLEAR WAR NOW!
the iq map you cite is bs. chinas average is not as stated – chinese fake all stats. finland iq is 110, highest in europe – same as japan. iq is literally falling in all the white countries with the mass non white immigration
I look upon him as a tragic figure, and an outgrowth of German neuroses, Collective Consciousness that needed desperate mending, and a man with profound mental problems
People like you seem to never access a BREADTH of information on Hitler and other historerotica, preferring to reinforce their opinions by drilling down on historical third hand documents, the physical and kinetic world at THAT time only, and a pre/confirmation bias. IOW, you approach, in all likelihood, the subject with limited tools [knowledge base, life experience, wider analysis, and a focus on ideas, Inner Consciousness, and what is UNSEEN].
How and why do you think people act? From what? What drives them? It is the Inner Self, The Ego, and the totality of the person. This is obviously beyond you, who will I trust, bore us with repetitions of the typical boiler plate.
And yes, Hitler did invade Russia because he wanted the resources and the access of untermensch slave labor. All attempts to blame Russia for the German-Russo hostilities are pathetic apologetics. What does “really know” actually mean, anyway? Make an attempt to answer this question, if you please.
See my past comments.
Just as in the past, this is the fucking jews tricking two White nations into killing each other, again!
Their target this time, is to destroy Russia, so it can be broken up, and robbed of it’s resources, and the strategy, as always, is to use White on White warfare, to kill millions of Whites, bankrupt their national treasuries, and make trillions on the wartime profiteering loan rackets!
It’s also been their long held strategy to ALWAYS keep Germany and Russia from uniting, because they would dominate Europe and most of Eurasia if they did.
If Whites do not wake-up to this ruse being performed before them, we will be ruined!
And with all the mud people injected into Europe, may never recover.
Once again, sloppy thinking, analysis, illogic, and another brain whose contains got drained out with the snot from various sneezes. I have followed the events in Germany closely. I had lived in German Switzerland for 5 years.
AfD will be a MAJORITY part [over 50%] eventually. It is number one in the polls and rising. The Court for the Protection of the Constitution has made so many errors and broken laws, that their determination of AfD as “extremist” will not survive the court challenge, nor the will of the people.
You waste mine and other’s time with half-baked, superficial, and peripheral junk masquerading as if you actually knew something about Deutschland.
Next time opine on something you know about, like the line of undergarments marketed by the Kardashians. Ignorant schmuck.
How awful! The founder of Coors beer spelled his name Adolph. I prefer this guy over the destroyer of the German people. I can feel the little girl hero worship of the tool of Zion, connotatively in your words.
Jones is an alternative spelling of Johns. In Britain names such as Davidson, Richardson, and Johnson are typical of Scotland and the North of England. In the Midlands of England, Davids, Richards, and Johns were preferred. The Welsh, being neighbours of the English midlanders, adopted several surnames of the latter form. Williams is another example.
So you’re wrong, old boy.
Any government that actually does anything is ‘authoritarian’, and the governments that sit on the status quo and do nothing are called ‘democratic’. No results, no problem. Who does it benefit? Maybe that’s why the elites after thousands of years of ‘totality’ agreed to have elections.Democracies were bumpy at the beginning but they eventually figured out how to manage it. I wonder if they can keep it up…
Hitler was a useful idiot like Azov, Zelensky, ISIS, Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood and on and on.
Uneducated, uncouth, homeless bums (nor anyone for that matter) don’t become leaders of countries without the gatekeepers making the magic doors open.
They got what they wanted; the destruction of Europe, the expansion of communism and Israel.
And now they are finishing off Europe, America and the West.
The target has now switched to China. They want to gain power over these people and loot their corporations…
Problem that they’re not democrats, banks take orders from the Party, they’re all ethnic Chinese and they’re all men (apart from one).
Hitler was a cog, a gear in a larger machine, gear wheel. He fit the bill, was nudged, and fed lots of straw for his ruminant stomachs. The REAL leaders in the City of London, clapped their hands with glee, as they always plan decades ahead.
Nothing special about Nazis – they were German mainstream with much the same foreign policy as under Kaiser Bill.
It was the basis of German psyche which is why it is so evident today in Berlin and its current attitudes towards Rusdia or towards BreXit or support for genocide and use of military force to crush civilians
We don’t need nuclear war, just get the jews out of power and keep them out.
While I’m sure you are right, I still think they want to get Russia first, and also “handle” Iran, before they go after the Big Dog China.
As an aside- I don’t think they will be successful with Russia, Iran, or China.
Same for many western European countries.
Right👌👍
Do you believe the Chinese will allow this to happen to them as well?
If they can’t look and see what they’ve done to all these other countries and learn from it, then that will prove to be ignorance on the part of China, Russia, and Iran both. It shouldn’t even be this easy for these mfers to do this to every country on earth that has had some success. But the leadership in all these nations are allowing it because they are braindead stupid…
It’s like they lack any common sense to look through history and see that the same scum wrecked every nation that allowed them to. XI can see what happened to America, and compare it to what it use to be before it ended up the way it did. Now all they have to do is ask themselves a lot of important questions. And warn the hats that if they try to push their nation wrecking BS on them, there will be severe consequences. That’s all these three have to do or they can sit back, and end up like everybody else. Have their nations flooded with hordes of people who don’t belong there, seeing negros appearing in their commercials, or even worse black men being promoted in sexual situations with their women. They have to ask themselves if all of this is worth it or do they grow a pair and tell these Nation destroys to back off? It’s not like they have a military they can challenge them. Once America is fully finished all they’ll have is money and brides. But I can’t imagine the Chinese being tricked into being blackmailed.
wrong. Study Bolshevism and the power and influence it had and still has in Europe, Britain and the USA. Especially the power they had in the twenties and thirties. You will come to a different conclusion than–Hitler started WW2.
Re “To one or another degree, Germans are stunned by the AfD’s rise to the top.”
Huh??
This sentence presupposes that there is some group of “Germans” who are not voters. Or didn’t vote for the AfD. And this group of “Germans,” whoever they are, are more German than all the others—especially those who are in the set of Germans who voted AfD.
Lawrence’s Venn diagram of “Germans” here is absurd.
It might be truer to say that real “Germans” are stunned at the stupidity of the traditional parties.
>Same for many western European countries.
To some extent — but Germany and France are the most extreme — other European countries are more realistic and open about empirically analyzing the effects of migration, and drawing appropriate conclusions, which are then often reflected in policy changes — e.g. years ago a Danish study concluded that ‘immigrants from richer countries have a positive fiscal impact, while immigrants from poorer countries have a large negative one’ (by ‘immigrants from richer countries’ they mean primarily Whites from the EU, and ‘immigrants from poorer countries’ means non-Europeans, i.e. non-whites), and a more recent study about the Netherlands found the same.
Before you “recommend” actions to others, you should be able to demonstrate that you’ve practiced or accomplished them yourself. I know you’ve not become intimately knowledgeable about Jung or Buddha/Buddhism, or even Germany/Germans, because I have and I am. That’s why I know you’re trying to make it by faking it.
> Jung’s insights into the human psyche in many dimensions is one of the most profound in human history.
False. He studied his subjects as a scientist and did not participate fully himself. I had his entire “collected works” and read much of it.
> He is a buddha
Not hardly. You say such a thing because you don’t know what a buddha (enlightened one) is. In fact, you don’t have the foggiest idea. I can’t see a connection to “Russian Civilization and Orthodoxy,” either.
Thank you, Zumbuddi, for ‘disagreeing.’ If I had access to those buttons, I would have done the same and left it at that. 🙂
Re “Voters in the old GDR are also more ardent than in the west as they search for a new national direction.”
Last year I had an opportunity to speak to quite a few Germans in Erfurt, Leipzig, and Luebeck—people who were eager to discuss with me their memories of the old DDR, their experiences in navigating the various types of walls in addition to The Wall. One elderly woman spoke to me for at least a half hour of the efforts she had made, after moving to Berlin, to remain in contact with and visit family who were still living in the DDR. She stated that very few who moved west made this effort.
I speak fluent German and had no need of a translator.
The former DDR-ers are fully cognizant of course of the shortcomings and authoritarian outlines of the old DDR.
But they said that their history and political education made them far more politically savvy than the “naive” and easily manipulated Wessis.
Their awareness of their “colonial” status within the BRD—the many ways that they and their economy got screwed by Wessis and the BRD and continue to bear the burden of this inequality (just one instance: in the way their pensions are calculated)— is a factor in their political consciousness.
Lawrence is wandering in the fog when it starts babbling about Germans looking for themselves and Germany.
Totally misses the elephant in the room.
Ahem, the Germans know who they are.
Eighty years of gaslighting have taken their toll but far more so in the West than the East.
In the East the problem is stated out loud: An invasion of non-Germans—non-Europeans—is occurring, wrecking our society, our culture, our politics, and our country. The cheeky Ukrainian refugees are not helping anyone, either.
The first thing is that the US doesn’t have the military power that it did in 2003 and the second is that US debt is now out of control (they’re issuing new debt to pay interest on old debt).
In these circumstances the Chinese really don’t need to do anything apart from watch the “rules based” US New World Order implode. However, it would be useful if they could launch some tradable currency to replace the dollar and euro.
Rubbish regarding Hitler, the only statesman who improved the lives of his Volk while the democracies were still mired in the Great Depression.
The other major point regarding the attack on the SOVIET UNION, NOT RUSSIA! has been debated herein ad infinitum, and the posting in this thread is simply a case of My mind is made up don’t confuse me with facts. It explains why the mass media gets away with propagating all those lies about Germany and the wars.
Rubbish!
Thanks for informing us that Merz is a Blackrock guy. French president Macron is a “former” Rothschild bank employee.
At some point the German populace is going to learn that the Holocaust is a hoax. No wonder they’re put in jail for discussing the evidence.

{wrong.}
No: Right.
This is what poster [Poupon Marx] wrote: {And yes, Hitler did invade Russia because he wanted the resources and the access of untermensch slave labor.}
He didn’t write that Hitler started WW2: Ron Unz has several articles that discuss who was really responsible for WW2, and British — as usual — were a major instigator.
But Hitler was not innocent either.
Aside from who was responsioble for WW2, Hitler had his eye on the vast, practically limitless, rich farmlands of West USSR — Ukraine region, Novorossya — for a very long time. Hitler invaded USSR and caused the deaths of 25-30 million Soviet soldiers and civilians. Overwhelmingly Slavs, and of those Slavs overwhelmingly Russians.
Bolsheviks didn’t write Mein Kampf: Hitler did.
Published in 1925, wherein Hitler discusses Lebensraum in the East at length.
There are no Bolsheviks in Russia today: yet Germans — Slav/Russian hating Nazis at the core — are sending Leopard tanks and German cruise missiles to Russia to kill Russian soldiers and murder Russian civilians.
By their UkroZioNazi pupils.
Why? because Germans HATE Slavs.
Correct. Not many are capable of of this level of analysis.
It is simplistic to say that Britain helped instigate WW2. if you will do some reading you will find it was the Bolsheviks who got Britain into the war. The Polish Bolsheviks got the ball rolling when they massacred over 50,000 German nationals in the Danzig corridor after first ensuring they had a mutual support treaty. The British Bolsheviks then declared war on Germany. Oddly Britain had plans to attack Russia but that changed with Bolshevik interference.
Hitler was aware that Stalin was going to attack Eastern Europe and had plans to go all the way to Germany. he struck first.
It took two years of steady propaganda for the Bolsheviks to get the USA into the war. The average American was against it and even sympathized with Germany.
It is a vile calumny to say Germans hate Slavs. Germany is an advanced civilization; they do not hate irrationally. You are projecting.
He improved their lives so much they died by the millions while their cities were burning infernos of hell. Then they lost 1/3 of German territory and the entire Eastern part of Germany.
Hitler was just a tool whether he knew it or not.
Germany lost. Germans lost. Europe lost. The West lost. Communism, Jews and Israel won.
What a genius!
>you have to spend time in the larger cities …
In diesen Bundesländern ist Mohammed der beliebteste Vorname
In Berlin, Hamburg, and Bremen the most common name given to newborn males is Mohammed — it’s the 2nd most common in Hessen — in Nordrhein-Westfalen it’s the 3rd most common.
I am no fan of fat-cat industrialists drooling at the possibility of war-profiteering. But I will say that wanting to re-arm exists in Japan too. Both Japan and Germany were emasculated by the U.S. in 1945; Japan even more explicitly so: the constitutional “peace clause”, Article 9. So in the mix with everything else swirling around is a normal and understandable desire — on the part of Germany as with Japan — to be a “normal” wholly sovereign nation with the right to fund its own military as it sees fit. Abe Shinzo had been on track to formally push for the revision of Article 9.
Bolshevism won, underhandedly and was content to let the West crow that it won.
>access of untermensch slave labor
This isn’t the topic here, but inevitably all kinds of nonsense appears in the comments whenever Germany is the topic — but your suggestion is particularly idiotic.
More plausible reasons for Hitler’s decision to attack the Soviet Union are:
• He thought he could do so successfully — Hitler was impressed by the quick victory in the West — he thought the Wehrmacht was vastly superior, and the Red Army could be defeated in a matter of weeks, with acceptable losses.
• After the Great Purge of the 1930s, Hitler saw the Soviet Union as held together more by fear and tyranny than by loyalty and ideological conviction on the part of the population — he felt once it was clear the Red Army was being defeated, morale would collapse.
• Hitler did not trust Stalin, and saw Jüdischer Bolschewismus as alien and a threat to the traditional Christian West (das Abendland).
• By eliminating the Soviet Union, Hitler thought England would be forced to accept German hegemony on the continent, and decide to make peace.
He didn’t need ‘access of untermensch slave labor’ badly enough to start a war.
Excellent comment, John Trout. “Avery” has been an Unz commenter since I have been — at least 10 years. Always a pro-Russian communist–the favorite bottom line of Communists is “Germans hate Slavs,” which has never been true. The truth is “Slavs hate Germans”, primarily bc Germans almost always best them in any competition. Like Jews, Slavs call this “hate.” You are right to point out that it is a LIE and an infamy to accuse Germans falsely based on Mein Kampf, part 2 without quoting, in context, the passages that characters like Avery, Poupon Marx (Little Marx), etc. rely on to “back” their infamies.
An intelligent discussion with these communists is not possible bc of their reliance on the lie, on deception. WE should never let lies go by without a correction, so thank you for your active participation in this important endeavor.
Germany is just repeating what UK and France did long before. Seems they didn’t learn from others’ mistakes. So are Germans really that smart? Could their IQ results be fake? I mean real life is the test, not some desktop test.
Spain is also heading rapidly toward demographic disaster:
There’s nothing rational about this — it has nothing to do with IQ — it reflects a population that has been purposely atomized, and is therefore focused on personal rather than national well-being, plus the effect of moralizing media propaganda, especially anti-racism and racial egalitarianism.
How pathetic, Carolyn. You have a mind like a child, which has been obvious for some years here and on The Occidental Observer. Your hero worship of Adolphony takes on a grotesque nature as well as comic in your adulation of the singularity of the person who destroyed Germany, and lowered its Consciousness to the vilest level.
Today, as programmed and taught in German schools, German superiority is reinforced institutional, informally, and colloquially. Only – as Jung said – a people with deep seated inferiority would do. I have spent more time in Germany and central Europe than you. I had many German friends, in Germany and German Schweiz.
Today, one cannot find Russians who hate Germans, denigrate them, or otherwise express animus toward them, but ONLY the ideology and governments that have tried to destroy them for over 200 years.
Because you are not very intelligent, well read, cosmopolitan, or even adequately curious I once again reproach myself for spending time replying to shoo fly you.
Who said he did? Certainly he foresaw the huge advantage of millions of Slavs working to buttress the Turd Reich. Or are you too stupid to see this in plain sight? Why not just expose your thoughts that Germans are too humane and Christian to exploit, massacre innocents, and barbarous slaughter populations that were “inconvenient” to their pagan gods of conquest and dominance?

You are it seems another closet sub-concious German supremacist that just can’t resist the Nazi call of the Superior, like Peter Sellers’ reflexive Nazi erect penis salute “Heil”. People like you and Carolunk Yeager [“My name means hunter in German”], are the excreta of German culture, which Jung recognized, identified, exposited in the 1930s. Only people with complexes and deep doubts of their inferiority expectorate this vomit.
Let’s talk about the superiority of German versus Slavic Culture in toto, so that I can humiliate you some more. Go for it.

You and others like you are too shallow to have perceived that I have commented profusely on the situation in Germany, in all aspects, and the prospects for its salvation and restoration of a civilized, decent society. This is the result of much study and investment. The present AfD, led by Alice Weidel co-chaired by Tino Crupalla, and a roster of superior, common sense and well accomplished professionals made it possible for me to love Germany again. It is people like you and Caroline, and a few others, that misunderstand the essence of greatness in Geman culture, the good, rather than the egoistic, compensatory actions of inferiority.

And Bessent is an “ex” Soros employee
100%. But I’ve said the same thing about the Ukraine! As the saying goes “Being America’s enemy is dangerous, being it’s friend is deadly!”
I actually think that the Russians (Putin being in charge for two decades) and the Chinese (Xi too) a ARE quite aware of what is going on. I think that’s why they are working together, being incredibly patient and methodical, and playing long game, instead of getting sucked into the nonsense.
They both preach family, masculinity, and strength to their own people, they openly and loudly renounce, everything The West has come to represent: perversion, homosexuality, feminism, mind destroying fads in social media, ignorant consumerism, and irresponsible banking and financial schemes that gut an economy.
Most notably- Russia did not fight the Ukraine war the way the west wanted him to. He didn’t try to blitzkrieg it and over extend himself, and he didn’t get sucked into every attempt at getting him to grossly escalate either, and boy did they try!
I do believe that BRICS, coupled with the SCO, is indication that the forces opposed to western hegemony have gotten wise. Russia modified their economy to be sanction proof, which has worked. They also fought a long, plodding war, sucking the west into emptying their weapons stores to absurd levels, i.e. shockingly low levels, while also throwing Billions into the Ukrainian black hole of corruption and greed.
Another smart thing about the way Putin and the Russians have gone about this- They understand that all the propaganda in the world, will not prevent western populations from getting tired of a conflict! Why? Because we always get tired of them, because they all last so goddamned long. Putin knew that western resolve would wane, and he was right.
Russia and China have worked hand in hand to befuddle and tire the west. Plus, the slow plodding Ukrainian affair, has prevented the west from pivoting to China like they want.
The stupid Europeans are STILL trying to “win” in the Ukraine! (this defies all logic, reason, common sense, and any knowledge of the history of warfare) As the Russians are out performing the west on the battlefield, out-producing the entire western world for munitions and armaments, and out-recruiting all of them as well.
Basically, Russia pulled “the west’s” punk card, and is snickering in their faces.
Germany is falling apart, the Uk is falling apart, France is a joke, Poland is more frustrated with Ukrainian immigrants than they are with Russia, and the US wants to wash it’s hands of this mess, and focus on other things- Like first Iran, and then China… but they are bogged down in this goddamned Ukrainian shitshow!
North Korea is getting in on the action, China is just buying Russian and Iranian energy, while they outpace us in the production of everything: ships, planes, guns, missiles, artillery shells, etc., etc. Iran is probably going to be forced to get a nuke, because just like NK, they know it’s the only way to be safe, and left alone by the west.
So, China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, parts of Africa, Brazil, India, and most of the global south, are figuring it out, and forming block, and the West….? Still promoting faggotry, hegemony, “sanctions”, and trying to dominate the rest of the world, and losing their grip, with each passing day.
The chessboard is set, and anybody with eyes can see that the west is losing. Maybe not today, tomorrow, next year, or within our lifetimes, but it’s coming….
Nigga, heil Hitla
{ “Avery” has been an Unz commenter since I have been — at least 10 years}
True.
{Always a pro-Russian communist}
True: I am pro-Russian — see below.
False: Not pro-Communist.
Although, Communism had its benefits, alongside with its very bad and evil attributes.
Here is one for youse Hitler apologists: Communist indoctrination of East Europe’s populations — 1945 to 1991 — inoculated them against the very virulent SorosaVirus. Western Europe, which was supposedly “liberated” by Anglo-Americans, has been completely infested by the SorosaVirus, which is running rampant, and devastating its populations.
East Germany is the birthplace/powerbase of AfD, the party that is as true to German (healthy) nationalism as is possible in 2025. East Germany is also the least Islamized*.
Hungary, Poland, et. al. ….are being threatened and terrorized by SorosaCommisars of Brussels, yet are putting up a healthy resistance to the efforts to de-Europeanize, de-Nationalize, de-Christianize, and Islamize them — like they did to Germany, France, et.al.
{the passages that characters like Avery, Poupon Marx (Little Marx), etc. rely on to “back” their infamies.}
Typical of Hitler-groupies: when unable to counter my posts with rational arguments, they invariably resort to personal insults: my name in quotes, “infamous characters”.
You are being too kind.

Why I am pro-Russian.
I am of Armenian ancestry.
Armenian Apostolic Church Christian.
Originally from Armenia SSR.
I have lived under Communist rule: have first hand experience.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
I am also pro-America, my adopted homeland.
(not to be confused with supporting American Imperialist foreign policy)
Armenians historically have had close and good relations with fellow Orthodox Christian Russians.
Same with originally Zoroastrian, and now (Shia) Muslim, Iranians: genetic cousins.
Huge numbers of Armenia SSR men were KIA and WIA fighting Nazi invaders of USSR.
Turks had assembled a huge invasion army on the border of USSR/Armenia SSR during the Battler of Stalingrad in 1942. They were expecting a Nazi victory there, upon which they would invade USSR/Armenia SSR and race to Baku, and meet Nazi panzers there – to grab the oil fields of Baku. If heroic Red Army had not crushed and wiped out Paulus’s invading Nazi 6th army in Stalingrad, Turks would have invaded Armenia SSR and massacred every last Armenian: there would be no Armenia today.
During WW1 Kaiser’s Germany was allies with genocidal Turks.
[In 2015, German President Joachim Gauck acknowledged Germany’s “co-responsibility” for the Armenian genocide, while a book published in the same year by the journalist Jürgen Gottschlich detailed the political collusion of Turkey’s most important European ally in the First World War, which provided military advice and training for the Ottoman Empire throughout the Wilhelmine period. But the new GN-STAT report is the first to detail the sheer extent of the material support provided by Mauser and Krupp.]*
Talaat Pasha, one of the organizers of the Armenian Genocide – and almost certainly a crypto Jew – was hiding in Germany under an assumed name, fleeing Turkey after the war. Armenian operatives found him there, and sent an assassin, Armenian national hero Soghomon Tehlirian. After killing Taalat, Tehlirian did not run away. He stood there with pistol in hand, awaiting German police. A trial was held. An honorable German court, moved by his story of why he had carried out the assassination, found him not guilty and freed him. Justifiable homicide.
Aren’t you glad you asked, “Carolyn Yeager”?

Your comment #60 is composed entirely of ad hominems toward me, and you can’t even support them! You’re a disgrace.
You accuse everyone who likes/favors Hitler & the Third Reich, especially if they are a female, of a teenagerish “hero-worship” or as weak-minded cultists. Since that’s your automatic response every time, one cannot put much store in it. Your own extremist language, quoted below, puts your identity in question:
Does any knowledgeable person believe that?
You tell us that Carl Jung knows all about the German psyche and is critical of it. Well, how about giving book & page number(s) for that insight about Hitler? Why would we trust your word?
There is also your empty boasting:
Even if that were true, the majority of Germans today are German-haters themselves — we can know this by how they vote. They are no doubt the friends you speak of. Then you admit to “hating” the “ideology and governments” of Germany over the last 200 years (!) for wishing to destroy their Russian neighbor all that time!
Finally, you brag that YOU are “cosmopolitan” while I am not. My God, Jews were famously described as the cosmopolitans since the 1920s. Are you a Jew? It’s not a stretch to believe, and I am in fact coming round to that view.
You say I’m not very intelligent, yet I have three websites that I created and maintained since the first one in 2007, with millions of intelligent words written by me in thousands of postings, plus hundreds of podcasts. What do you have? A few comments on free discussion sites?
I wrote about AfD regularly since 2015 and kept my readers up to date. https://carolynyeager.net/search/node/AfD Here is one of the first from 2015 (https://carolynyeager.net/out-force-dresden-pegida-after-attack-france) to the last in 2023 (https://carolynyeager.net/germanys-afd-party-polling-record-levels-gains-two-district-wide-victories-recent-elections).
All the above, and more, is why I know you are a poseur, an anonymous character that is a common occurence on sites like this one. You need to be called out. Why does it so often fall to me?
Germany had a very strong army during the Cold War.
Eastern Germany isn ‘t the birthplace of the AfD. The party was founded by a bunch of neoliberal professors from West Germany.
“Hitler-groupies” are unable to counter your posts? You’re dreaming. In addition, the use of “Hitler-groupies” is exactly that: an insult–name-calling–instead of a rational argument.
And what do you give as “personal insults”?
Really lame. “Avery” looks and sounds like a screen name, so why wouldn’t I question it? It’s only smart. Is Avery your first or last name? It doesn’t sound Armenian to me, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t. It could be a little bit modified from the original?
I never called you or Little Marx “infamous characters,” but wrote that the claim so often in use of “Germans hate Slavs” was “an infamy taken from Mein Kampf part 2 [passages taken out of context], passages that characters like Avery, Poupon Marx (Little Marx), etc. rely on to “back” their infamies” against Hitler. There is no way you can turn it into “infamous characters,” sorry.
But I appreciate Avery’s comment #66, explaining his background. And I believe he’s telling the truth as he sees it. However …
From my perspective, in 2015 the “Federal Republic of Germany” had been an occupied nation since 1945 and “President Gauck” was a enemy of real Deutschland. So I don’t know what he was referring to, and give no credence to it.
To the extent that the AfD party can help to release Germany from this occupation, I am for it. German independence, I am for. Closer ties with Russia, I am not especially for. I would like to see growth and cooperation among the so-called “far right” parties in Western Europe, but not to the extent of giving up any German independence. I want the Deutschmark restored. German unification has never fully taken hold; it’s complicated, and that shows what the influence of Soviet Russia, even Putin’s Russia, can do to divide Germans. It’s harmful.
The destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines was as much an attack on Germany as it was an attack on Russia. German industries flourished with the inexpensive gas from Russia. There were many business and cultural exchanges between Russia and Germany and even between Russia and France. All stopped with the destruction of the pipelines.
The climate destabilisation apocalypse will get ’em first.
That was my experience, too. I lived in Germany (Cologne) for nearly fifteen years and also speak German fluently. From what I saw, the typical Ossi was a lot more based than the typical Wessi. The latter were basically just like our own White liberals in the US.
I take your point, John, and I don’t disagree with what you say. What the U.S. did in destroying Nord Stream was a crime, a very serious international crime. Unfortunately, no one can punish them for it. I certainly can’t, lol, nor can you. International Courts can’t because they’re dominated by the dominant powers, ie United States! But even as bad as that is, America is still an over-all positive force in the world … over and above it’s government. I believe Donald Trump is a positive force. I know you do not agree with that but you would be hard put to find someone better, or to weigh him in the balance w/other leaders (Putin?) and find him coming up short.
It is our beliefs we need to examine and change, more than our leaders. For example: our toleration for Lies, including in our own personal lives, that we rationalize every day of our lives. An AI ‘expert’ said these “Large memory” computers have already learned rationalize, just like we do. If that’s the case, what good are they going to be for us? THERE IS NO WAY OUT EXCEPT THROUGH GOD/KNOWLEDGE, not man’s knowledge. It is possible to distinguish between them.
Tell the mothers whose children were blown to bits by our bombs in Palestine how the US is “overall” a force for good. Or the half million iraqi civilians whose death due to the US invasion were, according to SecState Albright, “worth it.”
What the Hell is wrong with you?
Fuck your murderous lying country and willfully blind people like you.
Germany arrests ‘King Peter’: Self-declared monarch Peter Fitzek led a far-right group which opposes the country’s constitutional order. White people are not allowed to have their king or white society but Arabs Blacks Indians Chinese are allowed to form race base society communities and gangs but as soon as white people form their communities they’re arrested and broken up because the Bankers want white people replaced by none whites. From a commentator on RT. If you advocate for God and Nationalism in Europe, non-elected EU Jews will put you in prison. From another commentator on RT. These alien kikes like I’ve said before have to be dealt with ruthlessly. These filthy heeb’s think we are going to rule the World like a giant fiefdom. Even though the kike is a ghettoite shit that had no real people in Europe or anywhere else for that matter say 500 years ago and before. Like I’ve said before they are pure parasites.
They made their livings by attacking other peoples and slaughtering them (the Germans and other Europeans) to take their stuff and then also selling survivors into slavery. Sounds like your asiatic peoples throughout history. Jew boy you certainly don’t know the history of the Egyptians, Mesopotamians, Semitic arabs like you kike, or the Huns, Mongols etc. That’s all these asiatic peoples did for thousands of years kike was engage in rape, rapine, enslave, steal, usurp, slaughter, etc, and your filthy kind is still doing it today. I know your fuckin kinds history and the african niggers also better then you know it. So F-off moron.

News from Reiner Fuellmich who keep being ignored by most media and alt-media:
The Atrocious Conviction of Reiner Fuëllmich

Dr. Reiner Fuellmich’s newest Statement
https://drreinerfuellmich.substack.com/p/dr-reiner-fuellmichs-newest-statement
There he explains in a relatively short way how the Domestic Intelligence Service, the CPA fabricated false charges, enrolled members of the Corona committee and kidnapped him in Mexico to have him tried by corrupt judges and prosecutors in a kangaroo court in Germany.
He also explains how his former ‘associates’ Fischer, Templin and Hoffmann stole the proceed of the sales of his houses in Germany (1.3 million) and still keep his money.
The CPA is now going after AfD. They think they can since so few people and media react.
