Seven German AfD politicians die within weeks of each other ahead of elections

Seven Alternative für Deutschland politicians died within two weeks of each other before local elections, prompting party leaders to hint at foul play.

Five direct AfD candidates and two reserve candidates in North Rhine-Westphalia died within 14 days of each other, according to Welt.

Wolfgang Seitz’s death at 59 was announced on Aug. 21; the city of Blomberg announced the “unfortunate death” of 66-year-old Ralph Lange on Aug. 27; the city of Bad Lippspringe said 59-year-old Stefan Berendes “died unexpectedly” on Aug. 28; and the city of Schwerte announced that Wolfgang Klinger, 71, died “unexpectedly” on Aug. 19, according to Newsweek. Kay Gottschalk, deputy state chairman of the AfD’s North Rhine-Westphalia branch, confirmed the deaths of direct candidate Hans-Joachim Kind, 80, and reserve candidates René Herford and Patrick Tietze to Politico on Tuesday.

In a Tuesday interview with WELT TV, Gottschalk pushed back on speculation that foul play was afoot.

“We will, of course, investigate these cases with the necessary sensitivity and care,” he said, adding that there was “no indication” that the deaths were the result of “murder or anything similar.”

Gottschalk stressed that some of the dead “have pre-existing medical conditions.” He called for a careful investigation “without immediately getting into conspiracy theory territory.”

I just figure the SD would hire Merkel’s old buddies to do it undetectably.

Gottschalk stressed that some of the dead “have pre-existing medical conditions.”

Ah yes. The old “mis-filled” prescription trick.

So Corporal Klinger went to Germany after the Korean War ended in 1953 and had a son Wolfgang in 1954?

Well, none of them have fallen out of a third-story window, so that lets Putin off the hook. Anybody check on the whereabouts of Hillary?

Sounds more like Hillarycide or a Chicago Aldermanic year.

The left does not fool around. If they cannot get you off the ballot they will kill you just as DJT.

The Bundesnachrichtendienst guys must be working some serious overtime racking up these bodies. Wonder if they contracted with the rogue CIA to do it for them, or if they are doing it in house.
