The Telegraph: Germany considers ban on far-Right AfD 

 Germany is debating whether to ban the far-Right Alternative for Germany (AfD) as the party surges to 21 per cent in the polls, amid warnings from intelligence officials that its members are becoming increasingly extreme. 

 Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the German president, warned in a speech to the country’s domestic intelligence agency that “we all have it in our hands to put those who despise our democracy in their place”. 

His speech at the castle where the German post-war constitution was created has widely been seen as support for a ban after Thomas Haldenwang, the domestic spy chief, warned about growing Right-wing extremist influence in the party.

WNU Editor: In order to save democracy you must ban your opponent from running in the next election. 

I am seeing a trend. 

US Democrat prosecutors are doing all that they can to make sure former President Trump cannot run in 2024. Ukraine President Zelensky has banned and/or imprisoned his major political opponents. And now we have Germany moving to ban the country's second most popular (and growing) political party. 

There is some stuff that you just cannot make up.

Speech from the right there talks about white colors so it will be banned, the German right is the dumbest in the world, because if they talked less about ethnicity and more about the economy and companies, then yes, we would have progress

Its risky to ban a party that has up to 20% of electoral votes according to polls. Its one thing to do it with one that has at most 5% but quite another with parties above 10%. Besides the party can reform itself under a new name and the process restarts. buna

Western liberal democracy now represents little more than the freedom to be ruled by wealthy stateless elites who's interests are often at odds with the national populations that they oversee.

If you vote AfD people pretend you wear boots and a helmet and go like "oh no no no, not those extrem-far-right-fanatics"

what they typically want:

-- borders
-- law and law enforcement
-- family
-- stable economy
-- independence
-- kick out globalist scum

Yes, the party reforms, because the need s still there. But in the meantime the SPD is in power another election cycle.

Hairy said if you ban the AfD, there will be a world war. It won't happen all by due to the chicanery in Germany all by itself. It will happen because there are similar trends in many other countries.

In 3 or 4 years watch Blink, Snake Sullivan and others go to Argentina to warn the president to respect the vote. Watch them push anything but paper ballots. They know what they know and unless the citizens of other countries vote right, they make their demands known.

In the 30s there were dictators not just in Germany and Italy, but in other countries like Romania and Greece. What is happening in Germany, France, Brasil, Canada and the US is a trend. Hairy is not surprised.

If you want to know what the Deep State thinks and how it justifies itself (its theology) read Paul Pillar if you can stomach it.

The real fascists are the ones that have taken control of politics, business, banking, the news & entertainment media throughout the west. They will use their might to end democracy by jailing their political rivals & banning opposition parties. Unfortunately it looks like fascism is the way forward for the west. Once they've obtained full control, they'll come for the rest of us. All property is theft. Except theirs.
