Is Nazism On The Rise In Germany? Reichburger Movement Rejects Government, Attacking Police
International Business Times ^ | 25 October 2016 | Marcy Kreiter

Posted on 10/28/2016 9:43:06 AM PDT by Lorianne

Officials in the German region of Bavaria are asking for increased surveillance of the Reichsburger — Reich Citizens — movement, whose members do not recognize the authority of the German state, following two attacks on police this week.

Germany’s domestic intelligence services estimate 100 active members in the far-right movement although there may be a few hundred more hangers-on. This week’s attacks left a 32-year-old police officer dead.

Bavarian officials said the government has shifted too much focus to Islamic terrorists, neglecting right-wing groups, amid rising xenophobia, anti-foreigner sentiment and increased neo-Nazi propaganda.

“Bavaria has not previously witnessed such a brutal attack on the state by the Reichsbürger,” the New York Times quoted Joachim Herrmann, Bavaria’s interior minister, as saying. “We will keep an even more intense watch on the movement.”

Herrmann warned the Reichburger movement should not be dismissed as an “association of crackpots.”

The Reichsburger movement claims there hasn’t been a legitimate German government since Adolf Hitler, and the country’s borders should be returned to their pre-World War II status. Members carry homemade identity cards proclaiming they are citizens of the “kingdom of Germany.”

Reich isn’t used in the Federal Republic because of its association with Nazism and the German defeat in World War II.

The NAZI’s were FOR BIG GOVERNMENT.

The movement against government is the opposite of being a nazi.

The real Nazi movement is in Ukraine. They’re the government, Svoboda party, Pravi Sektor paramilitary, marches and parades in the streets with Nazi insignia, etc.

Of course, it has nothing to do with the invaders.

They’re worried about a mere 100 malcontents?

They should be concerned about the 1 million Muslims!

They seem to be Germans who resent the government policy of putting Muslim invaders first.

Anyone is a “Nazi” who disagrees with the government.

I am too far away from Bavaria to know if this is
primarily

A. a Nazi uprising, or
instead

B. regular German citizens wanting to repatriate/expel the Islamic invaders to get their own country back

I do also realize that an innocent and patriotic upswelling for B could possibly get derailed into another A.

But it is also correct that Germany’s ruling elite is selling out the nation to the enemy Islamic invasion ... millions already inside Germany’s borders, either they are returned to their own countries (the places they’ve already taken over this way, by just moving in en masse and then creating terror within their ‘host’ countries until they eventually seize control)...

The Nazis are already in power in Germany under a different name.

No kidding. Maybe Merkel can send a smooth talking corporal to keep an eye on these troublemakers.

You are wrong, it wasn’t hundreds of thousands Germans in Government jobs that setup the Death Camps, rounded up all the Jews, and put them into the gas chambers, it was ONE NAZI named Hans Schulzenburger that did everything, you see the NAZIs believed in limited government so much that Hans did all the bad things all by himself...

Oh and I have some oceanfront property in Wyoming for sale...

Interested?

NAZI = National Socialism

IN-NAZI = International Socialism

Merkel is an IN-NAZI , those opposing her just want their country back
