Germany Draws Up "Secret Plans" to Hamstring AfD on Eve of State Elections
Simplicius The Thinker ^ | 31 Jul, 2026 | Simplicius

Die Welt and other outlets broke a story about Chancellor Merz drawing up plans to isolate German states where AfD may win a majority in the future, so that Germany can retain its role as key central NATO transport hub in the war against Russia being stirred by European elites:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/07/30/merz-plan-to-prevent-putin-friendly-afd-state-blocking-nato/

From the Telegraph piece above:

Friedrich Merz is drawing up secret plans to prevent German pro-Kremlin “traitor states” from obstructing Nato’s plans to defend against a Russian invasion.

German officials fear the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party could frustrate the movement of allied forces through two eastern states it is expected to win in September elections.

European ‘democracy’ has deteriorated to such an extent that nations now routinely wage wars of sabotage against themselves, in order to preserve the globalist system of control their leaders are beholden to.

The precise fear about the AfD’s looming rise spelled out:

If the hard-Right party wins an absolute majority in Saxony‑Anhalt or Mecklenburg‑Vorpommern, it will be able to form a state government with control over internal security, policing and other powers.

It could slow troop and equipment movements through bureaucratic obstructionism over permits and permissions, delay the deployment of state-level police resources, and refuse to give the military priority on local roads.

They predictably frame it as a “plan by Putin” to utilize his stooges in friendly European political parties in order to hamper responses to the big Russian attack the elites are using as a fig leaf for their own war-of-aggression preparations.

Just like how the EU began studying ways to break its own “democratic” charter and allow initiatives to pass without the required unanimity all to bypass the intransigent positions of states like Hungary, now individual EU states themselves are figuring out ways to “bend” democratic processes to shackle and squelch their own individual federal regions. Of course, this is elementary at this point compared to the course of outright banning the AfD as Germany has been trying to do under “extremism” laws, but it is nevertheless a dark glimpse into the increasingly totalitarian nature of the EU.

The article cites German figures as lamenting the fact that “countermeasures against rebel state governments” were being complicated by “constitutional laws governing state independence.” Again we see that pesky constitution acting as quite an inconvenience against the ambitions of the Eurocrats and their toadies.

Now they’re wracking their brains over how to “circumvent” their own federal state, but “legally”:

It looks like they are repackaging the Russia Collusion Hoax used against President Trump.

May I suggest building an Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart (Antifaschistischer Schutzwall in German) to prevent people from leaving non-AfD states and voting for whom they want.

The German political “Left” is no better than Hitler.

The Lander closest to Russia are the ones that don’t want a war with Russia and who are opposed to Islamic occupation.

They have also already experienced all of the totalitarian government that they want.

Germany should just pursue a non-aggression pact with Russia. It worked before!

What, are they going to arrange ‘accidents’ or ‘illness’ to kill off AfD candidates at the last minute, again?
