To provide context, the center-right populist AFD party is leading in current German polling ahead of the upcoming election of delegates to the European Union. The elites don\u2019t want people to actually have a democratically elected representative European Union or German government. The German elites want to choose the available leaders people are allowed to vote for. That is not democracy. That is a form of totalitarian oligarchy, one which is dependent on a variety of \u201cpublic-private partnerships\u201d involving very large and often transnational corporations. One version of modern corporatism.<\/p>\n<p>One recent example:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/germanys-far-right-afd-under-mounting-pressure\/a-69078624\" rel=\"\">The debate about a possible ban\u00a0<\/a>on the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) never really went away, but it is once again getting louder<\/strong>. That&#8217;s because the M\u00fcnster Higher Administrative Court (OVG) has on Monday rejected a complaint by the party against its classification by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) as a suspected right-wing extremist case. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution is the domestic intelligence service.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, a court\u00a0<strong>ruled against Thuringian AfD leader Bj\u00f6rn H\u00f6cke<\/strong>\u00a0for allegedly using a slogan from the paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party, the Storm Troopers (Sturmabteilung). The graduate historian and former history teacher denies knowing the origin of the banned slogan &#8220;Alles f\u00fcr Deutschland&#8221; (Everything for Germany).<\/p>\n<p>H\u00f6cke\u00a0was fined \u20ac13,000 ($14,060) which is to go to a grassroots anti-extremism program.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Germany&#8217;s Dark Future The Pot is calling the kettle black.
