MAINZ, Germany — Authorities in Germany arrested 25 people on Wednesday who are suspected of planning to violently overthrow the government in a far-right extremist plot.
More than 3,000 police officers, including special forces, made 130 early morning searches across 11 of Germany's 16 federal states in one of the biggest counterterrorism operations in the country's history.
Suspects from the so-far unnamed group include a nobleman with a historic royal title and various armed forces veterans. It is centered on the so-called Reichsbürger, or Reich Citizens, movement which is motivated by conspiracy theories about the role and legitimacy of the modern German state.
Those arrested will appear in court Wednesday and Thursday. The homes of a further 27 people suspected of being members or supporters of the group have been searched.
“We defend ourselves with all strength against the enemies of democracy," German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser wrote on Twitter.
She said the group was "driven by fantasies of violent overturn and conspiracy ideologies" and hated democracy and the state. "Further investigations will give a clear picture of how far the coup plans had progressed," she said.

“terrorist group founded in November 2021”
Bwahahahahahaha.
The Deep State was getting bored—decided to create a new terrorist group....
“The details are yet to be worked out,” it added.
3000 police raid 130 homes, yet the government hopes to figure out what they were up to later. I’m reserve support until I know what the targeted group was really about. From what was presented, this massive police action seems more like looking for a crime than law enforcement.
Night of the Woke Knives
The Deep State needs to justify its huge budgets—that means creating dangerous enemies where none exist.

“founded in 1985”
Thirty seven years and no government overthrown....bwahahahaha.
At regular times they act like Sovereign Citizens in the US. This splinter group was just especially militant.
If she is saying it, and the MSM is reporting it, then just remember, it is the opposite of the truth.
Two things drop from this article, at least to me:
1) This clearly demonstrates that with modern surveillance technology and application, it is impossible to organize any revolution... so anyone who thinks we can throw off tyranny here in America with AR-15s is foolhardy. Therefore, any revolt must occur spontaneously and with a vast majority of the populace, as in the Color Revolutions that have occured over the last few decades.
2) So what is the purpose of any military-lookalike firearm? It has two purposes: One, if the government starts coming for individual citizens to imprison them for political views, or to ‘disappear’ them, it is a deterrent. Two, if societal systems collapse outright, it will help in the defense against roving gangs.
Oh, I have one third point: Oftentimes, when I see a very interesting article, I find that SeekAndFind posted it. Thanks for what you do here.
“This splinter group was just especially militant.”
This splinter group was a Deep State honey pot.
