Germany unveils measures to tackle far-right surge

The German government has announced a package of legal measures aimed at fighting right-wing extremism.

It comes after weeks of demonstrations against the far-right swept through German towns and cities.

Throughout January, hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of German life took to the streets to protest against far-right extremism.

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said the protests had been "an encouragement and a mandate" to act politically...

Ms. Faeser said the 13-point plan would right-wing extremism, which she described as the biggest threat facing German society. Proposals include new laws that make it easier to freeze bank accounts and cut funding models for extremists. Even donors would be targeted, Ms. Faeser said.

To undermine networks, officials will also be able to ban right-wing extremist events more easily and far-right activists will be stopped from entering or leaving Germany whenever possible.

Gun laws will be tightened, and it will be easier to dismiss state employees found guilty of extremism...

In Germany weeks ago Mainstream Media rolled out a J6 type event an alleged meeting of extremists with the Alternative for Germany party to plot mass deportations from Germany.

This was followed by mass demonstrations against the "far-right" from parties supporting the unpopular German government.

Now they roll out these repressive measures hoping to shut down the AfD party in upcoming elections.

Obvious propaganda is obvious.

The BBC must be angling to present the news in North Korea.

In an unpolarized political system the parties would compromise and address some of the “far right” issues.

In an all-or-nothing political system the solution is to crush the opposition.

I got an idea, why don’t they just call it, “The Enabling Law”.

The list of tactics against “right wing extremists” is basically the Trudeau playbook.

Seizing bank accounts, gun control, banning travel in and out of the country, firing from jobs... all that is missing is trampling with horses.

I predicted this about a week ago. Like all political parties, the AfD has some radical elements. But from what I can tell, they are at heart nationalists. And no a Deep State anywhere likes a nationalist.

Meanwhile…

Immigration I’d support: German Conservatives fleeing the Fourth Reich.

First they created this January 6th drama with the “Potsdam Meeting” of far-rightists.

With that story dumped in the mainstream media last month they moved onto the organized mass protests in the Kim Jong-Un tradition.

Now they announce this crackdown.

Burning the Bundestag would have been too obvious since that’s what Adolf did.

Given the historical ignorance, they could do it again and surprise almost everyone.

” far right extremism is the biggest threat to Germany today “. Now, where have we heard that refrain before?

Socialists globally work from the same script.

Funny how it’s the exact same gameplan. Weird coincidence, go figure.

“The German government has announced a package of legal measures aimed at fighting right-wing extremism. “
The USA should announce “a package of legal measures aimed at fighting [left]-wing extremism.” What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

Kinda depends upon how ya define “Germany”, doesn’t it? Nations, ours included, are defined by borders, language, and culture. All will be erased, yet they will still claim it to be Germany. Just as they are doing here with “Our Democracy”.

Sounds like they're dusting off the yellow stars and boxcars.
