A guest contribution by Vera Lengsfeld
The politicians by whom we are governed, nay, kujoniert, have reached a level of irrationality that one must constantly pinch oneself to be sure that one is actually awake and not in an endless nightmare.
Chancellor Scholz, who publicly happily eats fish sandwiches instead of setting up a crisis team to take care of Germans stuck in Israel and especially those held hostage by Hamas, has now appealed to us citizens to do everything we can “together” to protect Jewish lives in Germany. Together? We are supposed to take over the protection that the police can no longer provide, while the traffic lights let hundreds of new anti-Semites into the country every day and refuse to finally reintroduce border controls and implement the asylum law? Under the Asylum Act, no one is eligible for asylum if they come from a safe third country. This is currently the case for almost all “arrivals” here, as the “refugees” have recently been called.
The warnings of the federal police that the onslaught cannot be handled anymore are thrown to the wind, like the emergency calls of the municipalities that their reception capacities are exhausted. In his last government statement, Scholz announced that the Palestinian group “Samidoun,” which is responsible for several anti-Israel demonstrations in Germany, will be banned. Why the announcement and not immediate ban, although the group is observed by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution and shares a photo of the actions in social networks? Instead, Berlin police say they are still investigating the extent to which the organization was actually responsible for the action. Do you want to give the extremists time to make evidence disappear and regroup?
They were less squeamish about so-called Corona deniers. Michael Ballweg was held in pre-trial detention for eight months for an offense that has now vanished into thin air, according to a ruling by the Regional Court in Stuttgart. Does anyone in the statist bubble think citizens don’t catch this double standard? I’m afraid so, because those in charge obviously think we’re as stupid and limited as they really are.
In an interview with ZDF, Foreign Minister Baerbock claims that Germany flew young people out of Israel with the help of Iceland. It was so embarrassing that instead of asking awkward questions, the station had that part of the interview edited out. While Baerbock was ranting, hundreds of Germans who want to leave Israel tried in vain to reach the Lufthansa hotline set up for this purpose. Germany, once envied for its effectiveness, has now reached the level of a developing country. We’re supposed to see this as the new normal, because anyone who complains, such as about the railroad’s notorious tardiness or frequent train cancellations, is a hate poster. These threats are intended to nip any criticism in the bud.
Now Chancellor Scholz has admitted that the state institutions are no longer able to cope with the anti-Semitic flood. The most effective way to protect Jewish life in Germany is to immediately stop the further import of anti-Semites and to expel all those who celebrate their anti-Semitism on our streets. As long as the government does not do that, any lip service to Jewish life in Germany is just hypocrisy.
Under fire – but all the more important is your support!
“Conspiracy ideologue,” “Nazi” or “right-wing agitator”: as a critical journalist today, you have to constantly have dirt thrown at you. The public broadcasters are particularly active in this area. ARD’s chief fact-finder Gensing already sued me in 2019, and the Böhmermann broadcaster ZDF recently slandered me as a “propagator of conspiracy narratives” – without naming a single piece of evidence, and in a post full of lies. Springer journalist Gabor Steingardt slandered me in “Focus,” for which I worked for 16 years, as a “member of an army of tin soldiers” and a “media fighting machine” of the AfD. On the initiative of “Westdeutscher Rundfunk,” I was even put on the wanted list. If one defends oneself legally, one usually has to bear the costs oneself. Your support is all the more important. Also morally. It spurs you on to keep going and not give up. Thank you very much for making my work possible with your contribution – without compulsory fees and tax money.
Currently (again) donations via credit card, Apple Pay etc. are possible – despite the Paypal block: via this link. Alternatively via bank transfer, IBAN: DE30 6805 1207 0000 3701 71. For those who have little themselves, I expressly ask you to keep what little you have. I am all the more pleased to receive support from all those whom it does not hurt.

Guest posts always reflect the author’s opinion, not mine. And I believe that contributions from contentious authors are particularly valuable for discussion and democracy. I value my readers as adults and want to offer them different points of view so they can form their own opinions.
