German police staged nationwide raids on Wednesday and arrested 25 people suspected of belonging to a far-right "terror cell" plotting to overthrow the government and attack parliament.
Around 3,000 officers including elite anti-terror units took part in the early morning raids and searched more than 130 properties, in what German media described as one of the country's largest police actions ever against extremists.
The raids targeted alleged members of the "Citizens of the Reich" (Reichsbuerger) movement suspected of "having made concrete preparations to violently force their way into the German parliament with a small armed group".
Those arrested are accused of having formed "a terrorist group by the end of November 2021 at the latest, which had set itself the goal of overcoming the existing state order in Germany and replacing it with their own kind of state", they said.
Two of the 25 arrests were made abroad, in Austria and Italy.
The prosecutors in Karlsruhe said they had identified a further 27 people as suspected members or supporters of the terror network.
"The accused are united by a deep rejection of state institutions and the free, democratic basic order of the Federal Republic of Germany," they said.
The Reichsbuerger movement includes neo-Nazis, conspiracy theorists and gun enthusiasts who reject the legitimacy of the modern German republic.
Its followers generally believe in the continued existence of the pre-World War I German Reich, or empire, under a monarchy and several groups have declared their own states.
Long dismissed as malcontents and oddballs, the Reichsbuerger have become increasingly radicalised in recent years and are seen as a growing security threat.

According to prosecutors, the terror cell suspects believe in Reichsbuerger and QAnon conspiracy theories and are "strongly convinced" that Germany is run by a "deep state" that needs to be toppled.

Re 3000 vs 25:
Well, yeah, of course… Didn’t wanna be out numbered or anything… 🤔
/s (as if)
As if storming a parliament or congress would change anything.
Until it is demonstrated otherwise, I assume only false flag operators work that way.
“According to prosecutors, the terror cell suspects believe in Reichsbuerger and QAnon conspiracy theories and are “strongly convinced” that Germany is run by a “deep state” that needs to be toppled.”
Considering that the government there doesn’t even mind their ‘allies’ blowing up their gas pipelines, I’d say Reichenburger and Q-Anon may have a point.
‘are “strongly convinced” that Germany is run by a “deep state” that needs to be toppled.’
Well nothing dispels that notion faster than 3000 storm troopers arresting 25 people for thought crimes...
Headline is a lie. Germany busts SUSPECTED far right cell. Who suspects? Affiliate of WEF?
A life in 4 chapters
The final act
This is not a fiction.
The 3,000 were detailed out to 120-odd homes/businesses. From what I can figure....fair amount of ammo/guns were in the mix, and their job was to confiscate that.
On coup scale (1-to-10)...I’d give them a minus-5 score. Biggest comedy show I’ve seen ever....in Germany.
Idiot running the plan was some ‘royal’ who felt that German army members would swear an oath to him, and they’d just revert back to 1918 status. Most Germans are giving the news folks about two minutes to tell the story....then flip the channel. Just not much interest in the story because it sounds like a comedy script.
