Top spy agency withdraws “extremist” label on AfD political party in widening scandal
Last week, the German government officially designated the opposition party Alternative for Germany (AfD) as a “confirmed extremist” organization. The announcement came from the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), Germany’s domestic intelligence agency, and was endorsed by outgoing Interior Minister Nancy Faeser, who claimed the party posed a fundamental threat to democracy. The designation opened the door to enhanced surveillance, undercover infiltration, and a potential party ban. But Faeser provided no evidence to the public, just a press release about the 1,100-page report.
this will end well
Well that’s new. The German government has never deliberately deceived the German people before.
government deceiving its citizens?
IMAGINE THAT!
Deception, lies, distortions, and cover-ups all from government?
“In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible... Thus, political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging, and sheer cloudy vagueness... Political language [is] designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable.”
George Orwell
The public doesn’t seem to mind when government deceives it. Otherwise every government hack associated with the Covid mandates would be in the unemployment line.
BTTT
Who do they think they are, Democrats?
