European democracy is dying
American Thinker ^ | 14 May, 2025 | Jonathan Schiff

The country that was just recently considered the heart and key player of Europe, wants to deal a crushing blow to democracy. This is the only way to explain the decision of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Germany’s domestic intelligence agency, to classify the Alternative for Germany (AfD) as a “confirmed right-wing extremist party”. The establishment of the republic has long been looking for an opportunity to remove the undesirable AfD from the political field of the country. Many were not happy with the fact that Alice Weidel’s party was not shy about telling the truth, which contradicted the EU propaganda mainstream. There is no doubt that the next step of German legislators will be to ban the AfD from participating in the country’s political life, despite the party’s growing support among the population. This is the price for calling for peace, refusing to support Ukraine’s endless war, and disagreeing with the course of militarization of the EU.

The decision of the German authorities, although it became a high-profile political scandal, is not something surprising. Thus, at the end of the last year, Romania’s constitutional court annulled the result of the first round of voting in the presidential election after the victory of Calin Georgescu, who was inconvenient for Brussels. And just recently, in France, the main rival of Emmanuel Macron, Marine Le Pen, has been banned from running for political office for five years after being convicted for embezzling European Union funds. All this is happening against the backdrop of growing censorship in the information field and is a part of the attempts of European hawks to establish their control on the territory of the EU.

The leftists in the USA are no different. Look at all the things they have done to Donald Trump. They even tried to kill him twice and a Canadian woman mailed him a letter laced with ricin.

So is the US Republic. Western Civilization is collapsing, seeming by direct choice of our elected leadership and nearly half of its citizens.

Democracy, aka mob rule. Should die. Incidentally, we have a republic, a republican form of governance.

Once you decide that you can take other people’s use of time or property, it just becomes an issue of progression from that point.

Europe is genetically weak and subject to hybridization in the Classic Darwinian model.

The less vigorous verities are pushed aside by the stronger variatives.

In Europe, the stronger varieties are African, black and Islamic.

I’ve told this story before,as explained by a professor of International Constitutional Law.
He drafted many constitutions for Third World countries.

Because he was a Jew who lived through WW2, he added provisions that outlawed any party “which opposes this constitution or the principles herein”.

He then watched as authoritarians in each country used that provision to outlaw the opposition and install a dictatorship.

Exactly what Germany is now doing.

This is why our Constitution, with those “negative guarantees” as communist idiot Obama called the Bill of Rights, has endured.

Germany’s philosopher is Kant, not Locke. Germany’s heritage is Reichs, not Republics. Germany’s idols are Charlesmagne and Barbarossa, not Washington and Lincoln. The Germans who immigrated to America have mostly assimilated into American political thinking, but not the Germans still in Germany.

Europe doesn’t have democracy. Europe has bureaucracy rule emanating from Belgium

“never was. “

BUMP

And probably “never will be” until the END.

Monarchs are almost as corrupt as Nazi Dictators.

Socialsts are really Marxists. Europe had what they called a Social-Democracy... this is where the government holds a controlling share of all public companies such as Telecom’s, Oil, Rail, Airlines, TV, etc.

Facists (NAZIs) are really Marxists, too.

WWII ended and the Social Democarcies emerged in Europe, and like the Crown in England, all the Royal Families pull the strings of “their” governments. Every country except Germany still has Royal Famalies controlling them.

Lawfare and banning politicians... the DNC and the EU are the globalists; Republicans fitting this Globalist label are Neo-Cons... NATO-Cons.

When a country cannot product enough to provide for their people... use the courts to sue other country’s companies as was done to Google, Apple, MS, etc. Or you can engage in the Reconstruction Racket that follows your Never Ending Wars.

Get rid of the Royals in EUropean Politics; Get rid of the Royal Pains in the DNC (ASS) like Hillary...

France almost went full Communist after WWII.

There was a “Reign of Terror” in Paris right after the Liberation, the Communists were arresting their rivals and accusing them of being collaborators.

It was only DeGaulle who stopped a Communist takeover of Paris.
