It's a sign of the nation's fraught state of mind that many seriously believe this week's unlikely plotters could have toppled democracy.
BERLIN---Germany is on edge.
Early Wednesday, thousands of balaclava-clad German police officers fanned out across the country, arresting 25 people and seizing weapons to upend what authorities described as a diabolical plot to overthrow the country's government and reinstate the monarchy. The group's "military arm" was surreptitiously building "a new German army," the lead prosecutor on the case said.
A day later, however, the case looks more like the script of a Monty Python episode thant a sequel to the Day of the Jackal...

Like this notion of a group set to storm Germany's Parliament and proclaim a government that brings back the Kaiser.
Thousands of police officers to arrest ... 25?! A bit of overkill there.
A cross dressing tranny Kaiser King-queen-prince, thing with many pronouns and a pellet rifle.
That story stinks so much I can easily imagine a NYT “reporter” taking a bodacious Obama in the back room. The Germans obviously are trying the Democrat “we’re so scared” approach.
Here’s a Monty Python skit that resembles this “drama” in Germany.
“Hell’s Grannies”

15 of them were probably police informants
Yep.
I think it’s more rank dishonesty than anything like real fear — but it really says something about the Western Powers that they need to proclaim things like Jan 6 or this little German fracas as a serious threat and insurrection. These governments seem very fragile.
If Germany is anything like America than 2/3rds of those “insurrectionists” were feds
Bankrupt financially, morally etc. etc.
Yep...krauts like my ex-wife believe that a 50 person protest for basic rights is an”right-wing insurrection”. How pathetic!
Or even worse, Hitler.
They know how illegitimate they really are.
I saw a documentary years ago about some guy named Ralph who became a king. He did a pretty good job. Germany should look him up and see if he’s available.
New Weimar Republic?
Hopefully history will not repeat itself.
Time for the Euroweeners to fix their own problems.
It sounds like something the American DOJ would arrange.
There’s a couple of out-of-work royals in Germany - Hohenzollerns, Wittelsbachs, others. They could even borrow some Hapsburgs. They are next door and could use the work.
