The German politician with the strength of Margaret Thatcher
Conservative Woman UK ^ | 9 Feb 2024 | Kathy Gyngell

Posted on 02/11/2024 6:01:08 AM PST by Rummyfan

ON MONDAY, in Committee Room Ten at the House of Commons, we were treated to hearing the remarkable German MEP, Christine Anderson. She was the guest of Andrew Bridgen on an international panel he had drawn together to discuss the World Health Organization power grab and how to save our sovereignty.

I had high expectations of this quite unusual politician who emerged as a key warrior for freedom and truth as lockdowns and vaccinations were imposed throughout Europe, and I was not disappointed. Her strength of purpose, her intelligence and vision, so apparent in her interventions in the European Parliament, were fully on display. I was left with one overriding impression: the first politician I have witnessed since Margaret Thatcher with a comparable charisma, moral strength and fearlessness.

Christine Margarete Anderson (born 29 July 1968) has served as a Member of the European Parliament only since 2019 yet she is already a household name across the continent. Though a member of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) and not its leader, she has become its face. She is a veritable modern-day Boudicca – a fighter, a leader who inspires and brings hope.

What follows is an edited transcript of her speech.

HERE I am, a German, invited into the UK Parliament to speak to you on freedom, democracy and the rule of law. You guys are really brave. And to make matters worse, I mean, literally adding insult to injury, it’s a German that’s speaking to you in an American accent. What could go wrong, right? [laughter] Now, but all joking aside, I’m very honoured, and I’d like to thank Andrew for the opportunity to be here to speak to you. And I tried to speak to as many people as possible before the event started, because . . . because that’s what I actually consider to be my job, to represent the people.

. . . I know it’s not easy. I know you’re being stigmatised. I know you’re being ostracised and being called names – ‘Nazis’, ‘right wing’, I know it all. But yet you are here, and for that I would like to thank you. And please keep it up, because . . . there is a lot they’re actually discussing right now and I’m telling you none of that has anything to do with freedom, democracy and the rule of law. It has nothing to do with the rule of the people, by the people, for the people. It has everything to do with the rule of the globalitarian misanthropists [for] we are on the verge of slipping into globalitarianism. That’s what this is.

Perhaps there is hope for Germany and Europe.

The Deep State (US or EU) does not like to be challenged. So if this lady keeps it up, she might see some serious pushback. She’s a member of the AfD, a German populist party.

The German government had already put the AfD under surveillance. Perhaps they’ll go the extra mile and ban the group.

For the EU to remain intact it will have to administratively morph into East Germany with its Stasi..

thats how “unnatural” this shotgun forced “union” really is

Super Friends: Trump in US, Anderson in Germany, Milei in Argentina, Merloni in Italy, Farage in UK, Wilders in Nederland, Le Pen in France.

Who am I missing?

They need to start meeting at a summit of Super Friends and plot out the obliteration of the UN, WHO, NATO, and come up with an international deplorables cooperative structure that leads away from deep states and world government.

Bannon and his gang should participate.

The momentum is building.

Where should they meet? The opposite of Davos. Maybe Gary.

Once in a while, I enounter a foreign person who actually understands:

- limited government
- democratic-republic
- enumeration of powers
- original intent
- judiciary limited by the legislature
- right to keep and bear Arms (<- capital “A”)
- freedom of religion
- the United States has no official state religion but is a Christian nation of people who respect other religions
- males are not females
- females are not males

- - -

But too often - more than “once in a while” - I botch the spelling:

“enounter” > encounter

Orban? There are some conservative movements in Norway, Slovenia, Estonia, and Denmark but i'm not sure who will emerge as the key players yet.

Where should they meet?

It can be decent place which isn't davos style lavish. How about a place with a recent history of inspired change like Gdansk?

My favorite Christine Anderson quote...“Mr. Trudeau, you are a disgrace for any democracy......Please spare us your presence.”

She’s outstanding. I loved it when she ripped Castro’s little bastard for being the tyrant that he is.

Yes. On the other hand, he calls himself “The World’s Coolest Dictator”. But what he has done with the drug dealers is amazing.

Yes! Should have been at or near the top of the list. Thanks.
