So Alice Weidel was interviewed by Elon Musk on 9 January 2025. Actually, it was quite a disappointment in more ways than one. For one, it is strange that the leader of the AfD, Germany’s supposedly conservative party, should be a lesbian who is married to a woman from the island of Ceylon. Upon closer scrutiny the anomalies only seem to increase. Dr. Weidel stated that “Hitler was a Communist,” thus publicly distancing herself from that part of the political spectrum as well as from the very personification of evil in the modern world.

The fact that Dr. Weidel’s observation is nonsensical and historically false is only secondary under present-day circumstances. More important was the sign she gave off distancing herself from Hitler and anything he might have stood for.

The other surprising statement by Dr. Weidel was about Jews. She asserted her party constituted the best protection for Jews in Germany. Thus Dr. Weidel demonstrated to the public in Germany and abroad that she is fully qualified to take part in politics, since she meets the requirements for the triangulation that any postwar German politician must exhibit publicly:

  1. be anti-Hitler;
  2. be a “philosemite”;
  3. be unquestionably faithful to the US.

The last requirement of this triangulation was implicitly given by Dr. Weidel allowing herself to be interviewed by what seems to be Donald Trump’s right hand, against the explicit wishes and warnings by other parties’ politicians and the legacy media.

Just because the venal German legacy media have been taking it out on the AfD and because it has been arbitrarily qualified as “far-right,” Dr. Weidel was required to emphatically show her credentials in a rather humiliating fashion. All things considered, it is quite embarrassing for a modern politician to pass under the yoke of public humiliation such as Dr. Weidel was made to do. It is also quite extraordinary that Hitler is still absolute anathema eighty years after he left the main stage. If only because so many of the actions attributed to him have since been routinely and massively perpetrated by countless others.

The treatment reserved for German establishment politicians is quite a contrast. Just look at German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, who is pampered by the press, seems to have been lobotomized and is not capable of rational thought, and who needs to spend tens of thousands of euros of taxpayer money to make even a halfway decent appearance.

Politics everywhere in Europe seems to have been subjected to an overall process of inversion. Those who are immoral, stupid, unqualified, evil and criminal make it to the top, whereas those who might actually improve things are being kept at bay and vilified.

At the pinnacle of European politics, criminals are firmly in control. Mrs. Ursula von der Leyen, recently reappointed president of the EuSSR Commission, has soiled her hands during the Great Covid Show, forcing hundreds of millions of Europeans to take poisonous jabs provided by her brothers and sisters in crime in the pharmaceutical mafia. Of course, she is being officially praised for this by the decision to give her the Charlemagne Prize for European Unity. The funny thing is that Charlemagne is largely a product of the imagination. NATO boss Mark Rutte leaves a trail of death and destruction from the MH-17 jetliner to thousands of Dutch children forcibly taken from their parents and handed over to international pedophile networks. Now Rutte wants NATO members to plunder national pension reserves to build defenses against a Russian invasion that will never come.

Elsewhere in Europe, the political scene is hardly more edifying, let alone encouraging. Regime legitimacy in France, Spain, the Netherlands, just to name a few EU member states, is precarious, to say the least. Or look at the circumstances under which Vladimir Zelenski has become president of the Ukraine back in 2019. Anyone who has taken the trouble to watch the admittedly well-made and funny series Servant of the People, starring Zelenski, must admit that could only have been made as a preparation to get him elected president. In hindsight, this has been a magnificent feat of public relations and electoral engineering. Now that his term has ended (back in May 2024), now that he has postponed elections, now that there is no longer a legal basis for his remaining in office, what about those supposedly European values that the Ukraine embodies and upholds?

Actually, the insistence with which European politicians like to state that the Ukraine uniquely embodies and symbolizes “European values” may contain more than a kernel of truth. Of course, there is only one way that the Ukraine, which has been a US vassal state at least since 2014, can be considered representative or exemplary with respect to “European values.” Namely when those supposedly European values are a total sham.

At most, those values are those of colonies, vassal states or satrapies. Those values are imposed (not too long ago) and certainly not traditional, which is actually what most of the public seems to believe. It is thought those values are all about personal freedoms, tolerance and concern for the weak and meek. One of the pleasant things about what is happening around us these days is that those outdated romantic fairy tales are proven a sham on a daily basis.

Under currently prevailing circumstances, now that with Trump’s impending inauguration as US president the US deep state seems on the verge of suffering a major setback Europe is in for a hard ride. European politics, long closely interwoven with the US deep state, is faced with some very serious problems.

ORDER IT NOW

Among the first problems to manifest itself will be that of politics itself: what do European regimes need to take as a guideline for their decisions? Those who most vociferously like to refer to “European values” (the entire politically correct, woke crowd overflowing with climate and gender lunacy and blathering about “diversity, equity and inclusion”) are quite nervous now that the Biden regime is on the way out. During the Obama and Biden regimes, the European governing elites were synchronized and equalized to the point where any dissenting opinion was considered an affront and a threat to the system. Since it looks like the directives from Washington are drastically changing, European regimes are faced with the possibility of having to renounce many of their cherished liberal “values.”

Another major problem will be economic policy. By faithfully executing the directives from the World Economic Forum (dominated by US and international moneyed interests) during the Great Covid Show, EU nations have begun the large-scale dismantling of their small- and medium-sized businesses. In response to the Crimea voting in favor of joining the Russian Federation in 2014, and especially after Russia started its Special Military Operation in the Ukraine in 2022, EU nations have dutifully followed Washington’s orders to cut off economic ties with Russia, thus massively causing harm to their economies. Moreover, Germany, the Netherlands and others have meekly accepted the destruction by the US of Nord Stream 2, their vital source of cheap Russian natural gas. Finally, in keeping in line with fake science, EU nations have adopted policies to reduce CO2 and nitrogen emissions so as to combat the effects of “global warming.” With Trump having announced he will do away with much of the climate nonsense, European regimes will have to reconsider many of their suicidal economic policies.

It is quite likely that the German regime will experience a crisis, and so will the regimes in France, Spain and other EU nations. The new Trump administration will prove to be quite unsettling for Europe’s governing elites and legacy media. All EU regimes will be confused and at a loss at what decisions to make. One should not think their backbones are more solid than the filling of a chocolate eclair, although there is a chance that some diehards will want to persist in gender and climate lunacy, wokeism and the whole shebang.

If the unelected EU Commission cannot prevent Dr. Weidel from winning the upcoming German elections, the doors will be opened for a new generation of faithful European servants of US interests. Dr. Weidel certainly meets all the requirements for her role as a US satrap.

Interesting times lie ahead of us!

    Weidel seems rather bizarre and her belief system incoherent. Perhaps populism does have some points of contact with what Marx wrote rather than it’s later incarnations with Stalin et al. However, most people aren’t going to understand that so it’s best to skip it. A total Russian victory in Ukraine will curtail NATO expansion and aggression in Europe, giving some of the European countries a chance to loosen their leash. The US is de-industrializing Germany with its sabotage of Nord Stream and forcing them to accept millions of migrants. Many of these migrants are refugees from US created wars for Israel in Iraq and Syria and Europe is forced to be the dumping ground. Populations everywhere have gotten sick of the current regimes and are willing to grasp at straws. There’a cultural shift in the US with Trump coming in so perhaps that’s the case in Europe as well. The US came into Europe in the 40’s posing as liberators but were really into it for the spoils and have never left. It is long overdue for the Europeans to loosen the US grip.

  3. Europe is at a pivot point in its history, it is no-longer the innovative centre of the earth but a back water of an old “elite” and money that are holding fast like a limpit against a rising tide of new ideas and a new world.

    The people have changed to, the once pristine white ideals and genetics have being impregnated with a malicious ideology under a freak and malevolent class that took their opportunity after the old rulers were overthrown in post WW2 shuffle.

    Now we are changing again and the Europeans have to decide which train they hitch to, they’re not the train anymore and that is what is causing them problems, they don’t know how to follow.

    Europe has to either go with BRICS or all the way with U.S.A.

    All the way with U.S.A has already shown it’s stripes, it’s the U.S picking over the bones of a dead carcass for any morsels, we see the U.S now eyeing Greenland.

    If Europe is to survive or end as a rump state, they have to hold firm on assets like Greenland, so it’s obvious which way they must go…but old habits die hard, and old money and privileges die ever harder, can a people movement in Europe remove the old order for a new millennium, we wait to see?

    Brilliant article that summarizes well the situation in dying Europe and Germany.

    Europe, if it was following what Europeans are and what Europe is (or used to be) would stand with Russia, would ally with Russia, and would be the main superpower in the world, largely above the US.

    This is why for the UK and their US pimps, the goal is to destroy the alliance between the two European main powers, Germany and Russia. This is what the anglo-zionists have been doing since WW1.

    Now that Weidel is a fake is now obvious,. She won’t win, what kind of patriot, conservative, nationalist or freedom lover would vote for a lesbian married to an Indian woman who insults people’s intelligence by pretending Hitler was a communist?

    However, voting for AfD is voting against the rotten parties who sold Germany out since 1945. So just for that, it will be the only useful vote.

    The real deal would have been Dr Reiner Fuellmich, the famous lawyer who is jailed as a political prisoner since more than a year. The establishment jailed him (without any crime committed) to make him pay for his work against the covid crimes and to stop him and his party Die Basis to run for elections (which, given the political void in Germany he could have created a real rift).

    He still managed to present himself against the former head of the German intel services (who are behind his ordeal).

    If Europe goes all in with BRICS than the USA becomes as colossal has-been and the place refugees will be streaming FROM.

    The USA followed the old British strategy of letting no power get big enough to rule Europe. My guess is that failed when Putin didn’t.

    Not saying Putin is Europe’s deliverer, I only point out the American demonization of Vlad went nowhere and demonstrated the fact that the US really is what the Chinese called us a half-century ago, a paper tiger. Lotsa bark not much scratch.

    If Trump fails totally — and that might be his purpose — then the whole house of cards falls. The USA has massive debt and miniscule equity. None of this looks good as we approach the explosive Thirties.

  8. Why must Hitler always come up in German politics? He’s been dead for 80 years. Nobody in other countries has to talk about how they’re pro- or anti- some historical figure from 80 years ago. Was Hitler a Communist? Well, who given a shit. Let’s say he was. Does that mean that the Great Replacement should continue? Does that mean Germany should tolerate the US blowing up its gas pipelines? Does it mean the ridiculous green policies should continue wrecking the European economy? I don’t think talking about Hitler in 2025, whether positively or negatively, is some sort of a winning strategy in politics.

  9. @nokangaroos

    Your assertions are wrong and phantasmagorical. Completely 180 degrees wrong. I posted several videos and references on AfD and Dr. Weidel. She is a heroine, as is Dr. Sahra Wegenkneckt.

    The author of this trash piece gets almost everything wrong. It’s as if he is looking through a prism that only lets through a limited bandwidth [colors], and excludes the rest. People like this have a very narrow bandwidth or channel, in breadth and depth and number in which to perceive raw and direct information, and then a shallow intellect that misses those capabilities that make a thinking person.

    You and others who don’t know any better can click on my moniker twice to bring up a list of my postings of videos and informative knowledge and reports.

    And Weidel said Hitler was a SOCIALIST.

    Do it in Yandex and click Translate.

    One the main planks in the AfD is for restoration of both Nordstreams, maximum gas importation from Russia, drop all sanctions, and establish normal economic, cultural, full on trade and across the board relations with RUSSIA.

    Now take that, to cite but one example, and compare to the stupidly Photoshopped picture of Weidel and the American flag. AfD is in fact the greatest threat [they promise to leave NATO] and secede from the EU. Alice is the real deal. Nationalist, Populist, and a Patriot. She has sworn to dismantle every windmill in Germany and build nuclear and coal plants, while maintaining environmental quality.

    Germany is not a sovereign country. In order to be successful as a politician or have a career in the media industry one has to be unconditionally loyal to the United States and Israel. Peculiarly, the “far right” all over the world is against immigration and all of them support Israel. The rise of the movement is the direct result of open border policy and seems almost to be “engineered” on purpose.
    Should Weidel get to any position of power, and she will becomes a second Meloni. Doing the bidding of the Americans and Israel. They are all bought and paid for. No one cares what the populace wants or needs. Germany, same as Canada, seems to have crossed the Rubicon and is destined for implosion.

    Really? You determine this from a few lines in an article from an author of mediocrity and unexceptional track record? Did you verify what he said? Did you get a sense of how he said it and the steaming, pejorative bias that drips with spite and indecency?

    I’m from an older generation that read profusely and talked about ideas. These authors were known for their character studies and development of insights into human nature, which includes sub and precociousness cues and signs, body language, use of language. These offered deep insights into human nature that were not obvious and manifest.

    Graham Greene was a leading novelist of the 20th century. He wrote many novels that explored moral and political issues, often through a Catholic lens. Some other authors of the time include:

    Evelyn Waugh: A friend of Greene’s
    Len Deighton: An author
    Saul Bellow: An author
    Robert Penn Warren: An author
    Richard Ford: An author
    W. Somerset Maugham: An author
    V.S. Naipaul: An author
    Theodore Dreiser: An author
    Muriel Spark: An author
    Robertson Davies: An author
    Ernest Hemingway

    Of course, the Modern Age is a reductionist epoch, made out of greater leveling and equity, where up is down, and anything can be made into anything on casuistry and solipsism.

    You are so uninformed, that you do not realize that the AfD, led by Alice Weibel is the closest party anywhere that Traditionalists, Conservatives, and freedom lovers crave and work toward. The CDU is nothing but a RINO Republican knock off.

    Weidel has Time And Grade, a life long track record that is impressive and compelling. See my earlier postings on her and Sahra Wagenkneckt.

    Look up her CV before going off half cocked again. It doesn’t look good.

    So Rutte handed over Dutch children to international pedophile networks said Hans. Given that paedophilia is a psychosis whereby the sufferer’s primary sexual interests is pre-pubescent children what are these networks? Speak accurately Hans. Almost always this word is code for pederasty, the act of male homosexuals (Rutte probably being one) molesting male pubescents or either side of the cusp. Just say so, why are you giving cover to them? No one is surprised by Dutch men being gay, in Japanese prisoner of war camps homosexual behaviours between Australian men was very rare, but among the British it was known of while among the Dutch POWs it was common. If you can’t be precise in regards to this terminology then chances are the rest of the piece is sloppy rhetoric too.

  18. @Anonymous534

    The public must be constantly reminded of the approved narrative describing Hitler. Why? Because he is critical to the continued promotion of the Holohoax™, which is the foundational pillar of Jewish victimhood and their perennial “get-out-of jail” card. Even while slaughtering hundreds of thousands of Palestinian woman, children, toddlers and babies, the Jews in Palestine continue to claim they are the victims. The only people that actually believe it are the members of Congress and the crypto-jew evangelical apostates.

    I see the same thing happening when every 4 or 5 years a Jewish journalist writes a story about the murder of RFK sr. claiming that it was the first Muslim terrorist attack though Sirhan was from a Christian family and even RFK jr. believes he’s innocent. Repeat the big lie often enough and it becomes “history”.

    Understand the Don’s meaning. “Don’t show people what’s on your mind”, to Sonny.

    Even you might possibly understand that words uttered on the World stage, public declarations are tentative, often opposite what is heard, lies, deception, and as the old saying goes, “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer”.

    Like simple people who lack motivation or agency, many subconsciously assume that the powerful act, speak, and mean their words, just as oneself.

  20. Adolf Hitler was not a communist. They were his enemies. But he did admit to imitating them tactically. One of the main sources of growth for his party was converting the communists to national socialism. A lot of the rank and file Nazi supporters were ex-communists, because the party had made it a fundamental strategy to convert them, as Hitler repeatedly said.

    Hitler was a fascist and fascism is a severe contamination of conservative ideology with leftist ideas and methods, so she was right although imprecise due to necessity.

    I don’t care that she’s a lesbian. Although there is an urgent need to turn right in Germany, there is no time to do that over the next general electioneering cycle. Next German govt will be a grand coalition (CDU/CSU+SPD+Grüne). After that, there is a change to turn right with AfD, and the leader by that time might well be someone other than Weidel.

    The only option looks like European integration with China. In other words make friends with China same as the rest of the world is doing, and get as far away a possible from the Davos, Brussels, Washington, BlackRock mafia with their wars, lies, deception and threats ( guaranteed route to poverty and totalitarianism).

    Of course, Hitler was a lefty. He made leftist politics and sharply rejected the liberal, educated classes that built private fortunes or inherited them from their elders. Nevertheless, he used them. It‘s the internationalist left who labeled him to be right wing because of his nationalism and menacing the legacy left. This is all about different brandings of the same product. The same goes for AfD which has a program that is so soc dem, it hurts. They want to maintain the current policy scheme by routing its benefits in their own direction and to their voters which are primarily represented in regions with a low share of foreigners. This collides directly with legacy social dems who have difficulties to win over these clients for decades and fear extinction.

    To make things worse, businessmen, with their own agenda (ie profit) then pervert and twist these bureaucratic dummies every which way in order to advance their business agenda. Toeing the line and being a yes man is essential to promotion. To get ahead you have to give head.

    The result is the common man looks at government decisions and wonders what the hell is going on in these people’s heads. Even the government workers shake their head but in their case its “oh well, its no big deal cos I got a secure job !’

    A lesbian, “married” to a woman from Ceylon, cannot be a “traditionalist”. Unless you’ve completely changed the meaning of the word. She could be good, or at least better, for Germany, but she can’t be a “traditionalist”. There’s something wrong with her, that’s why she beds down with other women. Not to be trusted. At least not with any sharp objects.

    Minorities are small for a very good reason: they are not meant to dominate or rule.

    My reply to your comment is in no way a denigration of your excellent observation and point.

    Your comment is astute and intelligent. You are very right. However the fatal flaw is your word “REASON”. Is there such a thing these days ? I see and experience very little. Hence the “minorities should not dominate or rule” wagon not only lost a wheel, it ran off the road and burst into flames in the ditch.

    These days men chugging other men’s cocks, women who are cunt lappers, sodomites, Niggers who comprise 12% of the population (most jailbirds) and Jews 1-2%, are in the catbird seat. Time will whittle them away and they will disappear but by the time that happens, in my humble opinion, the country will be a ruin.

    I think that only then, faced with extinction or the continued rule by these minority freaks, will they be swept aside in the quest for survival by and of the majority. I dont think this will happen in our lifetimes. Our kids and Grands will taste this bitter fruit. As it is right now, they are in no position to enjoy what we did at their age.

    A friend of mine just bought a $1.6M house, refurnished it, (his wife now dislikes French Provincial) and replaced his two high end SUVs. He was very surprised I thought him mad, completely off his rocker. He in turn thinks I am certifiable. All my important documents except passport and miscellaneous other identity cards are in a safety deposit box. Everything I own fits into a rucksack, my furniture can go to the Salvation Army or my Building Superintendent can have it.

    I have lived in another country that went off the edge and a fast car filled with gasoline and a few possessions were more important than the prestige of a high end trinkets. Its an eye opener when a man realizes his bare skin is more important and a very high priority. Few in the USA have experienced their heart in their throat with their balls just below as their living environment explodes around them.

    I think few people see the writing on the wall which becomes worse with every passing day. When things have evolved to the President;s inauguration being moved indoors, a thinking man ought to know enough to ask “what next ?” Add to that are people marching on DC and the press egging on the multitude.

    The USA is a powder keg waiting for a spark. This is where we are because to your point all sorts of freak minorities are at the wheel, a clear violation of your wise comment. Like everything else we will reap what we sow…..and then some !

    However, gays and lesbians are at best, what Jung described as individuals that lack courage to endure relationships with the opposite sex. Even worse, they are those individuals who have lost the connection with their human instinct to preserve the tribe and the greater specie.

    Do we want someone who has lost contact with the instinct of preserving humans to have an influence in the age of nuclear anahilation? Look at what homosexuals in power, with their lack of the instinct to preserve the specie, have contributed to bringing this planet ever so close to destruction.

    I think what Trump is doing, after the attempt on his life, is finally declaring war on the satanic, child sacrifice, pedophile European elites. He is bringing famine to them, shortages of energy, destruction of their currency, etc. All vectors employed by European elites to induce regime changes in the whole of the Global South till this day through their 5Is.

    Trump is the matadore who ran out of banderillas and is ready to use his estocada for the killing thrust. Looking at the history of misery inflicted on humanity bt those Malthusians, it isn’t a minute too late.

    There is no denying that the AfD is the best deal that Germany has among the mediocrity of all other parties. But that makes it the least bad choice.

    If the leader of the AfD stood for family values, she would indeed be the best deal. In a Germany whose population is withering away, just like in most of Europe, a doze of Orbánism is a must to roll back unhinged feminism and a dangerously declining birth rate.

    Weidel would be a gulp of fresh air for a German society that has been deprived of a sense of adventure and free spirit under excessive regulation and political correctness. But the way to German emancipation would still be a long way off. It all hinges on the German electorate daring to do away with the shackles of Green ideology, statism and the Holohoax guilt to reach a new start.

    Can CDU/CSU pull SPD into a coalition? Signs point to “no”. After the disastrous run under Scholz, SPD is likely to go into opposition. They must select new leadership & rebuild.

    Would CDU/CSU+Green reach the necessary 316 seats? If not, that implies a very unstable CDU/CSU+Green+BSW pact. And, it is quite possible that the Greens would refuse to work with BSW.

    The least bad option may be a minority government with no formal coalition. While theoretically possible, such an arrangement has not been tried post WW II. If votes are gathered separately for each bill, AfD and BSW could work on remigration issues behind the scenes.

    Yes. In Reality, there is much more commonality between Communism and Fascism than difference. Both oppress individualilty, in terms of expression, dissent, and the pursuit of what C. G. Jung termed the process of Individuation.*

    *Individuation is the process of becoming a distinct, independent person with a unique identity. It’s a psychological concept that involves developing a sense of self, purpose, and self-awareness.
    Explanation

    The term was created by Carl Jung, a psychoanalyst believed it was a central part of human development.

    Jung believed that individuation was a process of self-realization, where people discover their purpose and meaning in life.
    It’s a lifelong process that involves making choices that make you who you are.
    Individuation involves integrating elements of the conscious and unconscious mind.
    It’s a process of synthesizing opposites, such as conscious and unconscious, personal and collective, and life and death.

    Both exert total control from above, an Elite, and brook no deviation from “doctrine” and official beliefs and ideals. Both are soul crushing. Whether the individual “owns” property but is totally directed by the Government or the State owns it, is of little relevance. Fascism depends upon the good will of a small number of permanent rulers or authoritarians. The owners of capital or businesses end up in an incestuous relationship as we see today as Corporate-State Fascism, where the Corporation kneels in supplication to the Government and the revolving door is always spinning.

    Thus, as Alice Weidel has said Hitler was a Communist Socialist. Words are imprecise, but this is overwhelmingly valid and veritas. Alice has said that AfD is a Libertarian-Conservative Party.

Germans have a pathological fear of anything branded as far right or in any way conflated with Nazism, to wit the hatred of anything called deportation, and won’t have anybody they think has Nazi or nationalistic leanings in their government, but they are quite comfortable with the fact that to this day they still have DDR communists and sympathisers sprinkled throughout their government. A revered former Chancellor is but one example.

    The Communists were arguably far worse for the average German and for far longer than the Nazis, if you attribute a reasonable measure the tribulations of the last war to the Allies, but the average German is still unsettlingly confortable with Communists running the show. This gives one a clear picture of which side of the slippery slope Germany will fall, along with their partners in crime in the other EuSSR regions.

    Just like we see in Romania, the Supreme Soviet in Brussels will appoint their preferred regional secretary/minister in any EU land they deem to be important to advancing the EU project. As Thierry Breton signalled, even the German elections might be annulled if the Germans choose wrong.

  91. Though having followed the machinations of the Afd for years, had never heard Weidel speak before listening to some clips of the Musk interview and was just as dumbfounded by the amount of nonsense she uttered as the author of this article..

    But after looking at the entirety of her, that Party and overall current political situation, the picture at least for me got more balanced again.

    1. She is not the leader of the AfD but only 50 % of the leadership. The other co-chairman being Tino Chrupalla:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tino_Chrupalla

    And this tandem-chairteam was specifically chosen in 2021 as successor of Alexander Gauland

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Gauland

    -who remained an honorary chairman!-

    to give the party a more “acceptable”, soft-entry public representation.

    Weidel in this regard very clearly is mostly a straight out political correctness DEI figure explicitly -and very smartly- chosen to immunize the party from a great majority of all the usual cartoon-accusations and attacks from the media and officials.

    In a very eloquent move once and for all all the usual cliche- attackpoints and wonder-weapons from the left were suddenly rendered moot.
    Accusing a young rather attractive lesbian woman married to a Sri-Lankian immigrant to be a “Nazi”,”Sexist”, “Extremist” ant the likes simply does not work even with the most gullible of audiences and indeed created an enormous frustration among the nations media and journalists…

    And that she can`t help herself publically regularly drivelling about “bad Nazis/Adolf”, “me love liberalism” and “protect Jews/Israel” is only one more involuntary plus, she perfectly embodying that front-idiot role better than anyone could have expected and of course the best thing being she actually takes herself very seriously, in contrast to large parts and perhaps most of the AfD party and their followers.

    2. The AfD really has 2 sides in my experience, the first is the current extermely polished public image/policies, necessarily almost castrated in their appearance and utterances to the point that they indeed appear to have lost their real right roots.

    But then there is the other side, representing what a large part of the party could and probably would do if they were actually free to do so and not constantly threatened with legal prosecution and violence from the left.

    This “old school” side is represented very clearly by its most succesfull local leader Björn Höcke:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bj%C3%B6rn_H%C3%B6cke

    And most notably by their entire Youth-wing, the JA (Junge Alternative), which of course fittingly was prosecuted by the state and temporarily banned:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Alternative_for_Germany

    But is now in the process of being incorporated again into the party.

    These parts/sides of the AfD -and as said to note, that means the entire upcoming generation (age 15-35 years) really appear to be the real deal, the latter were behind last summers international media-sensation campaign of promoting the song and slogan “Ausländer raus!”:

    https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/lamour-toujours-german-far-right-controversy-auslander-raus

    And Björn Höcke explicitly and officially promotes to “turn Germans understanding/commemoration of their history 180 Degrees”, “stop immigration and start re-migrating non-Germans”, “abolish all Holocaust- Denial and Hate-Speech law” “promote 3 child-german family policies” and leave the EU and Euro (see his Wikipedia page above).

    Last year he lead the AfD to win the election in the state of Thuringia by an astonishing 33% majority and the only reason why his ideals and promises so far have not been carried out is that of course All the other parties (that lost the election) so far have boycotted him from getting into any government position, against the will of the majority of the states citizens.

    So, the question is really, will the AfD in the end (and in contrast to the parties of Italy`s Meloni and France`s La Pen), when they finally get into positions of power, turn full on turn-coat and compromise their original roots to the degree that it loses its soul and deceives its supporters completely, or will it after “having faked it to make it” return and be true to them…?

    However, gays and lesbians are at best, what Jung described as individuals that lack courage to endure relationships with the opposite sex. Even worse, they are those individuals who have lost the connection with their human instinct to preserve the tribe and the greater specie.

    I have read and thought about Jung and his works for decades. I do not believe that his thought and opinions can be adequately and sufficiently represented by your opinion above. Jungian Analytic Psychology has many components. Like a complex machine, these components vary in magnitude and effect to the individual. Some those components have to be modified in order for the individual to approach unity and a functional personality. Just as those missing limbs need prosthetic, or those who need medicine for metabolic disorder, whatever modification WORK to supplant or modify the ideal are obviously of utility and practicum.

    Obviously, those who are less than perfect, are employable whether psychologically or physically outside the default congenital norm.

    If you want to see what is happening to Europe then watch the interview of David Frost with Oswald Mosely, he describes in the interview how Britain lost an Empire and were now just the plaything of the U.S and Russia…tossed from one to the other, Europe is at that point now.

    Oswald Mosely was labelled a fascist, but that is what worked at the time that’s all, Mosely was above all else a patriot and he loved his country and knew that there was a malevolent force agitating for war, who is agitating for war at this moment?

    Hitler was also a patriot and people forget the good he did because of what happened during the war.

    Hitler erred when he believed stealing others assets and land was the answer to Germany’s overpopulation problem and once he decided on war and murder there should of being a mechanism to remove him.

    You’re right but the logical and natural integration should be with Russia, a country both in Europe and Asia and the link between China and Europe.

    The divide and rule attacks by Britain and now the US against most European countries (with Germany being the first target, Russia the second and France the third) are meant to make sure western Europe won’t ally with their natural partners: Russia.

    The Unexpected Rise of Alice Weidel in German Politics
    By
    Rocco Caldero
    December 23, 2024

    Alice Weidel, co-leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), has emerged as a formidable figure in German politics. With a simple post on his platform, Elon Musk declared a couple of days ago, “Only the AfD can save Germany,” igniting a firestorm of debate as the nation prepares for its February 23, 2025, federal election.

    Recent polls show Weidel surpassing Friedrich Merz of the Christian Democratic Union as the preferred chancellor candidate. This development marks a significant shift in Germany’s political landscape.

    The AfD, founded in 2013, has steadily gained support over the years. The party currently polls at around 19-20% nationally, making it the second-strongest party behind the CDU/CSU union. Weidel’s personal popularity exceeds her party’s, indicating her broad appeal.

    Weidel’s background sets her apart from typical conservative politicians. She holds a doctorate, speaks fluent Mandarin, and lives openly with her female partner. These qualities have helped her connect with middle-class voters and broaden the AfD’s appeal.

    etc….

    Voter choice for Chancellor of Germany:

    Alice Weidel. 24%
    Fredrich Merz. 20%
    Olaf Scholz. 15%
    Robert Habeck. 14%

    Alice Weidel’s personal popularity exceeds her party’s popularity.

    Since you are an obvious liar, the question is, what is your motivation and aim? Assume a Hasbara Gefilthy Fish and it would fit your comment. That would be to discredit the leading and most popular figure inside and outside the AfD for a stable of nobodies who could not poll in the low single digits. Or, you are some mentally disordered ideological dumb terminal controlled by an off site mainframe. Either way you are either a low aptitude cognitive mess and inadequate human being or – my guess – another Mossad troll with the load of personality traits of common to Jewry, i.e., socio and psychopathology and Satanism. May you live to see and experience the Big Orange Mushroom Cloud sitting at your computer desk in Mossad Information Disruption Bureau.

A true crop of European leaders needs to emerge that needs to realize that the United States is a disease and having close relations with it is akin to sleeping with someone who has full blown smallpox or bubonic plague. The US alphabet agencies have wormed their way in to every aspect of the German establishment as well as those of other European nations, and under no circumstances will the US allow any parties to evolve that have true European interests in mind.

    I don’t think that the election of Trump will make any difference as he is just a big fraud. European nations will need to almost completely cut relations off with the United States as Russia has done. Only then can they truly say that they have severed the poisonous ties that have bound them to the diseased US government for the past 80 years.

    how many recall the number of countries that rejected the eu via “voting” sometimes multiple times. spain, france, chekia, ireland, italy, etc all rejected the eu.

    From cafruney & ryner:

    “We do not think that one has said everything that is important about actors when one has labeled them “neoliberal.”

    Rather, in our view social forces, state managers, supranational entrepreneurs, and other actors embrace, tactically adjust themselves toward, or resist neoliberalism from the vantage points of different, and often competing, material positions and interests.

    Above all, we do not suggest that the neoliberal European project is a conspiracy–a fully thought out blueprint immanently implemented,
    and globally mastered, by its agents.

    We rather subscribe to a more structural point of view, in which neoliberalism describes an “institutional materiality”–a set of intersubjective norms and rules to which actors have to orient themselves or, for that matter, a “logic of appropriateness”.

    These norms and rules, in turn, reflect a structural matrix of institutions that define the formal separation of politics and economics in the prevailing regulatory mode of capitalist development.

    Especially important in this context has been the organization of finance, which systematically favors the United States.

    It is in this sense that the United States remains hegemonic, albeit not without a growing list of challengers.

    This is a position that we amplify [and] our analytical focus on [the] EMU reflects the centrality of money and finance in transatlantic and European regional power relations.

    In a classic formulation, David Calleo has highlighted the importance of money for social and political relations in general:

    “International economic relations are highly politicized. This is particularly true of monetary relations,
    the history of which often serves as a metaphor for general politico-economic relations in the world system”.

    Similarly, drawing on Georg Simmel and Niklas Luhmann, Claus Offe (1985) has emphasized the importance of money and finance as central “steering media” through which capitalist states perform their contradictory roles of rendering compatible economic dynamism, social legitimation, and internal operational cohesion.

    The EMU, then, can be seen as constituting the institutional fulcrum of the neoliberal integrationist project.

    Nevertheless, the scope of this book goes well beyond the question of money and monetary union.

    From our chosen analytical vantage point, we offer a holistic analysis of the interconnections of socioeconomic dynamics, the welfare state, questions of legitimacy and citizenship, and Europe’s geopolitical predicament.

    Hegemony cannot be reduced to “institutional copying.”

    To assert that the EU is pursuing a neoliberal project does not imply that either the EU itself or its individual nation-states can entirely abandon distinctive institutions or values that have been shaped by centuries of historical experience.

    Europe will never become “Americanized” or even “Anglicized” in this sense.

    Rather, hegemony means that norms and rules successfully represent certain particular interests as general interests.”

    “The overload of the compensatory mechanisms that worked so well in the 1970s and 1980s can be captured by what Streeck and Trampusch (2005) call a

    “vicious circle of positive feedback”

    between high nonwage labor costs and unemployment.

    The high nonwage labor costs make German labor more expensive, and German workers must demand higher gross wages in order to improve their disposable income.

    This induces firms to shed labor and increase capital intensity, and this increases nonwage labor costs further, because the claims on the pay-asyou-go transfer systems increase further, which in turn requires higher social contribution rates.

    Against this backdrop, Helmut Kohl’s government introduced a consolidation package in 1997 that amounted to “the largest cutbacks in social policy in the Federal Republic’s history” (Siegel2004).

    It included retrenchment of disability pensions

    and reduction of benefits and tightening of eligibility criteria for unemployment insurance,

    as well as abandonment of the parity principle (equal share of the financial burden between labor and capital) in health insurance.

    The last proposal represented a major departure from the German model.”

    “The proposition of an emergent European economic superpower is based on a basic-force model. It asserts that the EU has reached a position of global economic leadership by virtue of its equality with the United States in terms of GDP and presence in world trade. In order for this proposition to be compelling, two corollary assumptions are required: first, for economic purposes, the EU can be viewed as a polity or at least a single actor; and, second, in the contemporary era of globalization, military power has lost much of its utility, not least because it has become decoupled from economic power.”

    “In fact, the basic-force model greatly overstates the nature and extent of the decline of US hegemony. It fails to account for the ways in which Washington and Wall Street were able successfully to reconfigure US hegemony after the collapse of the Bretton Woods system on the basis of the interactive embeddedness of public, corporate, and retail financial and money markets in accordance with US welfare residualism. By contrast, the Maastricht design of EMU, fiscal pacts, and the Lisbon reform process have not established an adequate foundation for sustained European economic growth and political cohesion. Rather,
    they have introduced selectively within the EU–and especially within the eurozone–institutions and practices that are incompatible with European systems of innovation and social accords and that reinforce US-led neoliberal hegemony. The result has been chronic uneven development, stagnation, and unemployment. These factors, in turn, fan the flames of nationalist populism and prevent the emergence of a genuine polity and the mobilization of a coherent EU foreign policy agency.
    Those who have made their way through the preceding chapters will also be in no doubt that we are sceptical of claims that international economic relations are multipolar or chaotically organized, or that globalization has decoupled military power from international and transnational economic relations. More broadly, the distinction between political and economic power implicit in basic-force and soft-power models is analytical, and not real. Since 1945, US hegemony in Europe has been expressed through the mutual interaction of political military and economic power. The United States’ geopolitical expansion across the European continent after 1989 was itself a key factor in the consolidation of neoliberalism. Indeed, China’s rapid ascendance, the resurgence of Russian nationalism, growing instability in the Middle East, and the resource rivalries that are likely to become increasingly acute in the coming decades throw a spotlight on the continuing realities of geopolitical rivalry and the limitations of Europe’s nascent security project.”

    I’ve lived all over the world and have been headquartered in NYC for much of my adult life. I’ve seen it all, and if I missed anything, I’ve read about it. Every single homosexual I’ve met, every one, has been mentally damaged. Every single one isn’t all there. Like a necrophiliac, or a copropheliac, they have a mental disorder. It can be fixed, I’ve seen it happen, but it takes a religious conversion, work and leaves a lot of scars. Now some young, drunk or immature woman who has a fling, is maybe not that bad, but a sober, adult woman who goes through a sham “marriage” is showing signs of serious mental illness. She may be able to function and hold down a job, but by spitting in the face of what has been human “tradition” for 6,000 years of recorded history, means you aren’t a “traditionalist”. As I wrote, she may be better than the freaks running Germany right now, but because of her inability to deal with her mental disorder, she shouldn’t be trusted around sharp objects.

    I have always been heterosexual and have lived in gay towns like San Francisco, Guerneville, CA, etc. I live and let live. The gays I have known have been settled, monogamous, committed, and extremely civilized, altruistic, kind, and have talent and intelligence. I’ve also lived in Hollywood, and have attended several parties that were predominantly gay, but I brought my woman date, and nobody cared. I have never been propositioned by a gay, except once in Hollywood, in passing on the sidewalk.

    Rather than running down a decent, capable, and moral person like Alice Weibel, you should take an inward look at your tottering self-confidence in your masculinity, and why you need to strangle an outward phenomenon that is eating you up inwardly.

    I’m wondering whether secret clauses remain in place since 1945, or the creation of the federal republic of Germany, whereby Germany would have to follow the US rule.
    Also Germany remains aUS-occupied country, as Emmanuel Todd, the author of “The defeat of the West” reminds.
    It was frequently said that Germany was governed by its large corporates Union; the lack of rreaction to the destruction of NordStream, and resulting destruction of affordable gaz supply, critical to a uniquely manufacturing country like Germany, would tend to show that it is not, or no longer, the case.

    Undeniably what you wrote is true. I don’t know about 19th Century Romanticism, if it was that important toward this construct. It seemed an artistically focused movement. Jung’s Analytic Psychology is very structured, while the 19th Century Romanticism distanced itself from this German obsession. The 1960s had similarity.

    I believe the greatest influence on Jung was The Buddha and his teachings. His ideas of the Collective Consciousness can not be linked to previous or his contemporary epoch. Schopenhauer proclaimed his acceptance of Buddhism, as well as immersing himself in His teachings. This had a profound effect on Richard Wagner, who was struggling with the maimed and dysfunctional Christian religions of his epoch. He saw, I believe, the limitations on the reflexive worship of the pagan gods of the the Northern People.

    As I am a Buddhist, a follower and acceptor, the many derivatives and similarities between Jung and Buddha are obvious. One other individual you did not mention was Hermann Hesse. If you had been reading my comments, I have shown the profound effect that Schopenhauer had upon Wagner, and likewise upon Schopenhauer. I had spent much time in the Orient, from high school on, two years in Hawaii, one year at the U of H, Manoa, and spent considerable time at its East-West Cultural Center. My professional life included many trips to the Orient, as well as most of the World.

    You, like most Western intellectuals, you seem to have a void where Eastern Religions and Thought are concerned. This self-centered, anti-heuristic, and exclusion even by the Common Man has great negative consequences for the West, and has to be factored in its constant decline and degradation, like the half life of a radioactive material. This self imposed filter and prism is very stupid, and maintained for control and manipulation of the masses, by limiting their contact and Consciousness of other ways of perception and thinking.

    For those reading this exchange, a definition is in order:

    Individuation is the process of becoming a distinct, independent person with a unique identity. It’s a psychological concept that involves developing a sense of self, purpose, and self-awareness.

    Jung, in his pre-war and post-war writings, offers more total insight into Germany’s Collective Consciousness, its deficiencies, its tragic march to the edge and over into the abyss, and the amplification of German malignancies of its milieu, and why only Germans where carried away into mass hypnosis by this pathetic creature.

    Your sub-conscious dread that you might be a homosexual, inherently, is a schism in your personality.
    That box with a spring inside of it is ready to spring and blow up your world, when the lid loses its latch. Then you reconfigure and confront yourself with total honesty, or your personality disintegrates by opposing forces within.

    Get some major psychiatric/psychological help, before you hurt innocent people and yourself out of internal tension and self-hate.

    Merkel or as I prefer Merkhin (look it up) was really high up in the SED, she and her agents have cleansed the Internet of such, but you would find her sharing podium positions with the top leadership.

    Her father was a ‘living Church’ (apostate) Lutheran priest who crossed from west to east.

    That isn’t bad in itself, if I had been a teen or early twenties in that place and time, may also have decided to cross to the east. In Japan, many of Korean descent chose return to north Korea.

    Merkel seems to have been singularly evil.

    However much Merkhin and her agents destroy information about her on the Internet, people (like me, others posting here, others, too) have seen the information, Merkhin sitting among the very top of the SED in the DDR.

    I doubt that they would have supported the degree of destruction that she has wrought, but that is what it is.

    Things keep disappearing from the ‘net all the time. I post an old song from a German band, but it doesn’t suit the band, I’m pretty sure that I posted a link to a live performance of the same song two or three years ago, would guess that it is a dead link now.

    Save anything that seems as if it may be whitewashed (like Merkhin’s political history) or be judged ‘not PC’, as is the case with the song below, only over a still, but to the point if you understand any German.

    It’s weird how you weak minds automatically assume everyone has the mental deficiencies you have. Just because you had that little fling in your high school locker room with that janitor, doesn’t mean normal people don’t exist. You degenerates are a small minority, obviously getting larger as America declines.

    I notice that you latent homosexuals are always talking about psychiatrists. Is that where your mind was twisted? Look, poop-on (a common homosexual act), you’re probably still young, even if you’re not, find a Bibke believing Church, confess your sins and get out of the gutter. Normal people exist. And none of us like homosexuality

    I’ve only see that photo of Merkel in her apartchiki uniform. I am aware of her father’s amazing freedom of movement and do not think there’s any mystery why he had that.

    I argued for the parallel existence of decency despite highly authoritarian government. Even people serving in authoritarian governments are not perverted but it. A German soldier’s account of his service told how his seargeant order his squad to take some Italian partisans into the woods and shoot them. They were just kids and the author said he and his comrades fired a few shots into the ground and told the kids to scram.

    Merkel strikes me as someone afflicted with an unseemly devotion to the DDR, not just someone who wanted what advantages government service provided. What I read about her post-1991 career suggested that it was dangerous to be a mentor to her. One or two mentors ended up being sideline if memory serves me. I can’t source any of that but she did seem to have the skids greased for her in her progress in the W. German government.

    Btw, a pleasant book about decent Germans not fitting the stereotyple of SS brute is “Berlin Diaries 1940-1945” by Marie Vassiltchikov. The book I referred to about a timber operation in Stalinist Russia is “Bitter Waters: Life And Work In Stalin’s Russia” by Gennady Andreev-khomiakov.

    Anyway, my original point was that the average German has been conditioned to automatically avoid anybody the official narrative describes as leaning toward Far Right, ergo “they must be Nazis,” but there is no similar scepticism or stigma applied to actual communists and fellow travellers are in positions to destroy their nation with a malign agenda.

    Pure rubbish! The USA shipped millions upon millions of tons of food, weaponry, whole factories, 400,000 trucks, US dollar printing plates etc. to the Soviet Union.

    The Roosevelt administration had a burr up its ass about Germany. in all likelihood because it was overwhelmingly staffed by Jews and communists. Recall that in 1933 already “Judea Declares War on Germany”.

    The reason? Germany managed to untie itself from the Jewish international banker’s cabal. The result was that the German economy recovered very quickly while the US was still in the depths of the Great Depression. Methinks there is a moral herein.

    The Grundgesetz, or Basic Law is the German constitution post 1945. It was another diktat by the allies with very little or no input by the German citizenry. The German government of the day had to agree with it in order to have a modicum of power to sort out the piles of rubble that was left after the incessant bombing by the USA and Britain.

    This Basic Law stipulates that the findings of the Nuernberg War Crimes Trials were to be accepted as inviolate and that the state was to govern itself accordingly.

    ISTR that this diktat was to be effective for a period of 97 or so years.

    If I had anything to say about Germany and its internal struggles I’d pass a law that makes it illegal, with serious penalty, for anyone that harms Germany or its people. That would include anti-German propaganda and all the lies of the Ho;ocaust for which no authenticated forensic evidence has ever been furnished.

    And by hook or by crook I’d obtain nuclear weaponry along with delivery systems. Then woe betide any organization that harms the German state, such as the destruction of the Nordstream pipeline.

    The Roosevelt administration shipped food, weaponry etc. to Russia but the political right in this country was largely isolationist and opposed that.

    The political right in this country was traditionally noninterventionist. Our first president, Washington, warned us in his Farewell Address not to become involved in European wars. It was a liberal, Wilson, who dragged us into WW I. Then liberals FDR, Truman and LBJ took us into WW II, Korea and Vietnam. Things changed when the neocons took over the Republican party. Real conservatives like Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul, though, continued to be antiwar.

    Trump is tapping members of the LGBT community for top spots in his administration — despite Dem hysteria
    By Jon Levine
    Published Jan. 18, 2025, 8:16 a.m. ET

    President Trump is assembling an administration stocked with prominent gay and lesbian Americans — defying hysterical Democratic rhetoric.

    “When it comes to whether you’re gay or straight, black or white and all those markers others calculate — President Trump is decision blind. He bases his decision on the kind of job he knows you will do, period,” said Bill White, a top Trump fundraiser — who was tapped to serve as the US ambassador to Belgium.

    Among the picks:

    Scott Bessent, 62, treasury secretary. If confirmed, the hedge fund manager would be the highest-ranking openly gay official in US history.
    Ric Grenell, 58, presidential envoy for special missions. He was Trump’s director of national intelligence during his first term.
    Tammy Bruce, 62, the new State Department spokesperson was a Fox News contributor.
    Jacob Helberg, 35, undersecretary of state for economic growth, energy, and the environment.
    Bill White, 57, ambassador to Belgium.
    Art Fisher, 49, ambassador to Austria.

    And at least 10 other prominent LGBT Americans are slated for major administration posts, one Trump insider said.

    [MORE]

    “The velvet mafia this time around will be extensive,” he said.

    Gay and lesbian officials in Trump’s first term included Randy Berry, his ambassador to Nepal, and James Abbott, who Trump tapped to serve on the Federal Labor Relations Authority.

    “I sit here knowing that President Trump chose me because he believes I am the best candidate, not because of my sexual preference,” Bessent said during his confirmation hearing on Thursday. “I think it is a tribute to President Trump that he looks at people as people.”

    A top gay New York City Democrat said he is pleased with the picks.

    “It’s good and I hope that they will have a little influence when it comes to issues that may come up having to do with equal rights and marriage and respecting trans people’s rights,” said the Dem.

    Trump’s appointments fly in face of dire warnings from Democratic LGBT activists during the 2024 race.

    In January, the Philadelphia Inquirer quoted an anonymous gay man who said he was buying guns for fear of being “put in concentration camps.”

    The “freedom to love who you love openly and with pride” is at stake, warned Vice President Harris.

    “As horrific as the first Trump presidency was for LGBTQ+ Americans, a second term would be even worse,” said Cathryn Oakley, senior director of legal policy at the Human Rights Campaign.

    The vanishing of articles on Merkhin’s SED career was so sudden as to surprise me, I have spent several hours trying to find them, but they seem to have been made to vanish a few years ago, as I was saying in an earlier comment, saving things is good, but it was impossible to predict the mass-flushing of any info on Merkhin and SED.

    My only regret is not having bought things (electronic ambient music tapes, other items) from Aum, they’d sell high now. Can’t say that I regret not having ever attended their meetings.

    One of my closer friends in a rock band, drummer, when his father (Buddhist priest) died, he thought for a while, then decided to take that path. So we can’t contact him. I am sure that he will be good at it.

    I just read a post by Peter and Lydia Brimelow about their hideous ordeal of lawfare, cancellation, and internet attack. See here.

    I am not U.S., but have read of the lawfare upon them. It should be common knowledge to anybody reading about U.S. politics.

    The same ‘judge’, Letitia James, was behind one of the lawfare attack fronts on Trump, so he should do what he can to free those two from their lawfare bindings.

    Doubt that he will, though, also suspect that they (Brimelows) may now be more interested in their very expensive real-estate holding than in continuing anything else.
