BREAKING: Germany Bans Coronavirus Protest

Berlin Senator labels protesters “right wing extremists”

The Berlin government has banned a planned protest against measures put in place to (allegedly) contain the coronavirus “pandemic”.

The event, scheduled for the 29th of August and coinciding with protests in other countries, including the UK, France and Canada, has been shut down by the Berlin Senate over fears the crowd would “violate the current infection protection laws”.

If you’re concerned about this being an attack on political freedoms, don’t worry Andreas Geisel (Berlin’s Interior Senator), is here to reassure us all [our emphasis]:

This is not a decision against freedom of assembly, but a decision in favour of infection protection.”

Although his claims this was not a political decision were somewhat undermined, when he added:

[Berlin will not be] misused as a stage for corona deniers…and right-wing extremists.”

A similar protest at the beginning of this month drew tens of thousands of people. It was depicted as “right wing” and “antisemitic” in the press.

The coronavirus has a patchy, if not outright selective, record when it comes to protest movements. The anti-government protests in Belarus, for example, are exempt from being “dangerous”. As are the A level results protests in the UK.

In the US, and around the world, Black Lives Matter protests – far from being considered possible serious contamination risks – were applauded by health care workers, and even given special dispensation for violating lockdown measures in many countries (including Germany).

An open letter from 1200 health care workers called racism “a public health issue”, and said that it was too important to stop the protests in the name of not spreading the disease.

It seems if the right people deem your protest “important”, it removes all risk of spreading covid19. This coronavirus is a politcally savvy operator, allowing governments to be very picky about which protests are dangerous, and which are necessary.

Will other countries follow Germany’s example?

The only surprise is that Russian interference has not yet been blamed for stirring up the right wing fascists……. They really feel they need to stamp out Covid protests don’t they?

Your link to the Paris demonstration is to a yellow vest march, not a covid march.

The Covid march (below)

‘’A demonstration is scheduled to take place in Paris on Saturday, August 29, in protest over coronavirus disease (COVID-19) restrictions in the country. The demonstration is expected to be held at Place de la Nation, where participants are set to gather from approximately 13:00 (local time). ‘’

I know I’m being old-fashioned here, but can’t the media find a picture of a protester who DOESN’T look like:
a) a dangerously sociopathic university drop-out?
b) an old hippy?
c) an incoherent, attention-craving malcontent with green/purple hair?
d) all three of the above?
There really are protesters who dress unassumingly, have an excellent education and are eminently articulate. Political protesting is not the same thing as a teenager rebelling against parental guidance. Teenagers usually grow out of that phase, and the German authorities need to know that covid protest does not consist exclusively of teenage motivation.

Hello wardropper: You’re right. The media picks the most politically biased photos from hundreds of random photos shot at various events. They even have the audacity to use “stock” photos if they can’t find a sick enough example. Thee public sips the Kool-aid like it’s vintage wine. And so it is…

“The propaganda images from Italy have caused billions of people to fear and panic. They made the coup against our lives so far possible. On the fringes of the Corona Symposium of the AfD parliamentary group, I am talking to Italy’s most important virologist – PROF. MARIA RITA GISMONDO, 66 – from Milan. She has discovered the “first case of corona” south of the Alps … and also that the new type was already circulating unnoticed in 2019. She does not repeat the most blatant information – such as that “the body trucks” in Bergamo were actually empty – in front of the camera. A wise decision – but we will hear from her soon!”

Again we see this prodjection tec. been used/utilized, indended or not, that is hard to know because somethings, false/fake narratives have been used for so long that its stuck into every day language use, and this narratives gives an instant recognition regarding what ever you want this prodjections to point onto, like this image, lord knows how many thousands of people attended, and probably an sea of posters etc, but no, the ONLY thing we have from this historical demonstation, do notice no rioting or burning, violence, etc, is an image of an swastica, all tho I can see what they have done, but again, the same image is been used/abused by everybody, incl so called Alternative sites for whatever that means this days.

The only good thing that have comed out of this CONvid scam/swindle is that people finaly is realising the ugly truth, Gov do lie, and they lie a lot, backs their lies with an science based upon consensusses and if you are well educated you should know that science based upon consensusses are everything but science, its nothing but an hiding place for scoundrels, period, I have read so much insane babbeling camuflaged as “setled” science that my mind bleeds, yeah, hurmf, and now we are going into an world run by AI, uh… programed by people whom is equally f…. up as the people beliving everything the MSM and Politicians tels them to belive, hallelujah, you are saved, “come with us thru the Gates of Hell and be saved”.

For once, since I have to end this humble rant, I am proud of the Germans, not their spectaculare rotten Gov lead by Mutti Morekill and the bunch of creapy bastards/retards, but by the People.
This time, I am not been sarcatic when I say I am impressed, and glad to see that somebody finaly is getting the facts straight and rises to fight the swindle witch is ruining your nation as in many others, incl Norway where they are abolutelly bonkers.
So Germans, Europa is watching because we need somebody to awake and take the lead, in an sea of castrats, the difference is always made by walking the walk, be the light.

Sorry for the down vote. Unable to cancel it. Unable to up vote it to correct it too. Lol.

As about turning off the phone, on two occasions my phone’s battery lost about 40% 50% of power, though it was on airplane mode the whole night. It happened on two separate nights. My thoughts were that the phone was running the whole night without anyone using it. Now I’m looking for a way to put a physical switch to turn the battery off.

I believe that turning it off, even disconnecting the battery doesn’t guarantee anything – they can still, if they want to, remove access your microphone and camera with no battery attached (don’t ask me how but that’s what smarter people than I am explained to me).

Maybe a faraday bag/wallet might help. Or you could leave your phone behind if you want more anonymity, but that’s probably just a clue of a different sort – if the close to the march, during those hours there was no activity…

If it makes you feel any better about the difficulty, you could take heart from the fact that there are now so many cctv cameras everywhere and such sophisticated AI that they can pick out anyone from a crowd even in full hjab just from their way of moving, even if they are trying to disguise their walk. China does this routinely, so the tech is up and running. Sorry I can’t offer anything more cheerful but it’s good to know what the situation is, so we can reflect on whether we want it or not.

Few things about that:

First: AfD and others will demonstrate anyway. You can’t stop protests against a fake pandemic and the brutal dictatorship using this excuse to destroy your liberties by complying to what the dictators say.

Second: the presstitutes of the mainstream media, the corrupt politicians and their globalist masters always call real democrats: “fascist, far-right, nazis” or “conspiracy theorists”, “deniers” (climate change deniers, covid deniers, always something denier), “Russian agents” or “nuts” (like Bojo parroting his puppet master Bill Gates about people refusing to be forced vaccinated.

It’s gross and very simple: if they call someone or something far right, antisemitic, conspiracy theorist or populist, it means they try to discredit a real danger for them, suppress the truth and dissent.

So, the Germans, if they still have some, should go to portest in berlin, without mask or dictancing and be ready to fight the GESTAPO and the merkel Stasi .

SAME EVERYWHERE. THIS IS TIME TO FIGHT AND TO MAKE THE GLOBALIST SHIT IN THEIR PANTS, NOT TO OBEY AND COMPLY.

Germany has a long history of successful genocide carried out on chosen groups. And of all the elite groups that promote the perverted science once known as eugenics, they stand proud as the cool kid thanks to their success of the final solution.

Amongst the many perceptive comments you have made here, this one stands out as spectacularly racist…
How old are you? Are you perhaps Jewish? Racism can work both ways, you know.
I’m pretty old, but even my mother was only a teenager in 1933, and many countries have committed ‘successful’ genocide going way, way back before that…
There are also men of my father’s generation who fought in the war, and who still say, “Oh no, you can’t trust the Germans”, but who listens to that tripe today?
Our enemy is the media, and their nationality has absolutely nothing to do with it.

My father (British Army, REME) was stationed in Germany for a few weeks immediately post-war, and he used to recount (not that he ever really spoke much about his wartime service) how friendly, welcoming and kind the German people were to him and his colleagues. He told a story of how he bought a present for a family who had been particularly kind and, having only a smattering of the German language, he gave it to them saying in an English/German hybrid communication that it was ‘A gift in recognition of his gratitude’. He wondered why the family initially reacted with shock/horror but when someone there who was more proficient in the two languages quickly explained the profound difference between ‘gift’ in English and ‘Gift’ in German the misunderstanding was swiftly overcome!

”spectacularly racist ” and nothing to back up your accusation. You must be trying to be a trendy justice warrior.

Germany had 35 ‘groups’ marked by inverted triangles of different colour to make them easy to recognise. It wasn’t only the Jews they wanted put to sleep.

They used Zyklon B ( gas) to exterminate millions. They created that and then created Monsanto.They collected thousands of human subjects to experiment on then discard.And the declared war twice. Once for WW1 and again for WW2- both quite good culling excercises.

Because these things happened and I’m reporting it doesn’t make me a racist.

I didn’t say Germany was the only country to commit Genocide. Did I ? I just said they were the world leaders in it and the most succesful in advancing the cause of what was once called eugenics.

Your last paragraph backs it up quite well enough.
Just ask yourself what motivated you to mention that Germans were world leaders in genocide, despite knowing that other countries have done the same at different times in history. The Armenian genocide, for example, gets no publicity today, but it was a terrible thing.
There is nothing “German” about wickedness and evil. I have done decades of homework on WW2, Zyklon, etc. etc. but it is a distraction from our current problem to single out any particular nation for special mention.
They are all in it today.
We no longer have the Germany of 1933 to deal with, and although Merkel might indeed be a special case, Germany is currently no more brainwashed a country than our own – which of course is certainly brainwashed enough.
These things come in waves, and there’s no saying where the worst of them might surface next. We just have to make sure we notice.

”Just ask yourself what motivated you to mention that Germans were world leaders in genocide, despite knowing that other countries have done the same at different times in history. The Armenian genocide, for example, gets no publicity today, but it was a terrible thing.”

If you remember the thread’s title rather than looking for something to be outraged about so you can feel all sensitive and evolved, you’ll see the word ‘Germany’. I was pointing at the irony of them dictating over a global psyop run by the same elite class that organised and planned the holocaust and invested so much effort into finding a variety of ways to poison and kill people worldwide whose only crime was not being on their list of preferred ‘types’.

There is a world leader and champion of formula one racing.And darts.Does that mean nobody else plays darts or races formula one cars ?
No. It’s competitive. I never said the Germans were the only genocidal maniacs in history and, if you think i did, you must want that to be the case in order for you to have an excuse to moan on behalf of someone like any other justice warrior.I said they were the highest profile eugenicists historically.I could have quoted a few countries and dates and even figures.But this thread is about Germany, so my observations were relevant to the thread.If Genocide and poisoning innocent people in the name of eugenics has become synonymous with Germany, you need to ask why.It wasn’t and isn’t my fault.

” I have done decades of homework on WW2, Zyklon, etc. etc. but it is a distraction from our current problem to single out any particular nation for special mention.”

To mention a small elite with a programme to depopulate the world through deception and with poison isn’t relevant to Germany and what they wanted to do ? And the roots of Monsanto and who it’s biggest share holders are and which country created a ‘Monsanto Law’ to immunize them against law suits and exposure ?

The partnership between America and Germany throughout two world wars with the go -betweens being Prescott Bush and Henry Kissinger isn’t relevant ? Two people who were pivotal in moving thousands of Nazi scientists from Germany to America (rather than allow them to stand trial) over a ten year period isn’t relevant ?

”These things come in waves, and there’s no saying where the worst of them might surface next. We just have to make sure we notice.”

This isn’t a wave, it’s a continuation.I point that out in several posts.But when the internet is peppered with little justice warriors telling people they can’t say this and say that and accusing them of being anti this or ism that, that’s the real distraction.

Some men hate women; some women hate men; some whites hate blacks; some blacks hate whites;Some heterosexuals believe transgender is wrong; Some think immigration needs to be capped; some believe climate change is bullshit.They’re called opinions.Opinions can be right or wrong.But having freedom of speech is a right.

While the governments are trying to remove free speech and free expression through censorship or employing whining shills to do it for them via woke and JW groups, we don’t need people pretending they’re ‘right on’ and ‘all about diversity and freedom’ then scrutinising the net to try to derail people expressing opinions if they don’t align with their own.It’s predictable and tiresome .And it merely mimics the people in power they pretend to be standing in defiance of.

Nobody’s outraged, but I feel it is wrong to apportion blame to the grandchildren of those who did bad things in WW2. Our current governments, media and corporate criminals are all doing terrible things as we speak, while, as I suggested, 1933 is a long time ago.
You are not alone in finding some styles of comment “tiresome”, but I have found that keeping comments short helps. In any case I have no intention of restricting myself to your recipe for good commenting, since you really seem to be far more outraged than I am.
All I hope for is that people will avoid stereotyping, which is the twin brother of racism, and you seemed to me to cross that line.

Prescott Bush was carrying on what his father had begun at the turn of the century. Prescott Bush was eventually found guilty of trading with the enemy ( Germany) and he was also illegally laundering money from Germany to Holland via the American Federal reserve and Brown Brothers Harriman. He made sure he put a lot of funding Germany’s way. Athough found guilty he was later an American senator. He had a son called George.He, in turn had a son called George ( Prescott’s grand child). Both Georges were in business with the Bin Laden family ( oil). Both oversaw wars and atrocities committed against Iraq.Both talked of a New World Order.Both contributed to the patriot act and the bills pushed through to oppress the people and spy on their privacy in the name of ‘protection and national security’.All much later than 1933.

”All I hope for is that people will avoid stereotyping, which is the twin brother of racism, and you seemed to me to cross that line.”

Yes of course I am. It’s racist to bring up historical events that really happened because the genocide of innocent people is freedom of expression.How dare I…

If I apologised for criticising Germany for their atrocities and reminding anyone of the trials that saw some of them hang ( was that racist too ?) I’d be called anti semitic by some other bleeding heart sobbing over his coloured wristbands.

I reported some historical events.You call that stereotyping and racist.

Dynastic families do, of course exist – and you are quite right to call out the Bush specimens for the scum they are, but, for most of today’s mankind, “following in grandad’s footsteps” is not a common course of action. It’s only the ultra-privileged who encourage each other to think like that.
But your arguments do tend just to hop from one extreme to another, thus ensuring that nobody can either agree, or disagree, with you without one or the other extreme being used as a label with which you then criticize them.
You know very well that neither I, nor anyone else, would criticize you for “bringing up historical events that really happened”, but you go far beyond that. You assume that those who understand the dangers of generalizing are therefore diametrically opposed to what you say, when they are not.
An example of that is what you call, “Germany”, drawing the conclusion that because of what happened 75 years ago or more, “Germany” is not to be trusted today. That IS stereotyping and racist.
A less agitated commenter might have tried to show how today’s German society comprises a complex mixture of guilt, rebellion against the guilt, new generations who have no recollection of what the fuss was all about, a great deal of trans-national intermarrying, not to mention the issue of whether German DNA is in any way different from your own…
It just doesn’t wash to talk about “Germany” as if it were the same thing as nazism. What you draw attention to are the things which Germany no longer represents, yet which are of course still to be found in individuals and groups all over the world, some of which even have a great deal of influence on large populations.
I fear you are only content when somebody says about one of your long comments, “I entirely agree”. Anything else seems to upset you.

I don’t think you should presume to know what I assume if you don’t fully get what i’m saying.

” for most of today’s mankind, “following in grandad’s footsteps” is not a common course of action. It’s only the ultra-privileged who encourage each other to think like that.”

 Yes, and if you cast your eyes back to what I actually said, you’ll see i was only talking about the ultra-privileged. That was my point.

”An example of that is what you call, “Germany”, drawing the conclusion that because of what happened 75 years ago or more, “Germany” is not to be trusted today. That IS stereotyping and racist”

Why have you made up a quote that i didn’t say ? is that the only way you can win a debate ? I never said they can’t be trusted today anywhere. if i did, quote it and show me.I pointed to their history( that means in the past). You know, that little matter of introducing the concept of racial hygiene ( racial extending to skin colour, physical disability, politics and sexuality) and their insanely vicious method of ‘cleansing’ the human race.

Like it or not, when you mention eugenics and human torture and insane scientific practice the Germans are on the tip of most people’s tongues from the days of their final solution ( NOT today) That’s a fact.But nobody is talking about them doing it today. The most ardent practitioners of eugenics since then has been America.Probably due to their unofficial merging with that Nazi party in ’47 and their love of pharma profits.

 Look at the culling vaccines have caused; the culling Monsanto has caused.The amounts of ‘conflicts’ and wars they enjoy.Does that make me racist too ? If so, I make no apologies. I happen to care for the whole human race and i’m prejudiced against those who want to wreck it. Virtue signallers don’t matter to me at all.I find their views pointless.

”I fear you are only content when somebody says about one of your long comments, “I entirely agree”. Anything else seems to upset you.”

 Not really. I welcome knowledge and being corrected. It’s how we learn. But when people have to put words into my mouth from theirs to then attack it’s a silly exercise isn’t it. I can’t explain words attributed to me that I never said can I ? You need to understand the difference between present and past.My negative observations are of the past.My references was to the history not today.

Last week I criticised Israel for their illegal war waged in Palestine.Another virtue signaller said i was anti semitic. All of this BS on a site full of people pretending they embrace free speech and diversity.That’s a laugh.

Now you’re just accusing me of exactly what you do yourself.
I have put no words in your mouth. You have taken the words of other commenters who have said things you don’t agree with, and ascribed their motivations to me.
You also talk about a great number of interesting topics, where other people have criticized your view, but where I have not. Is your purpose to make me feel part of a conspiracy against you?
You say you can’t explain words attributed to you that you never said, but I have never asked you to. Again, it was others who did that.
I certainly enjoy learning from history, as you do, but you implied that the Germany of today has not moved on when you made the initial comment with which I took issue in this thread.
Please rest assured I have no animosity towards you, and I like to learn from mistakes too. Nothing I have said was intended to create a fight, or to belittle you in any way. I meant only what I said, and not what people might conceivably read into what I said.
We have typed a great number of words on this matter, when it really only boils down to what was perhaps a careless implication that Germany is as capable of horrible atrocities today as it ever was. My response was simply to point out that Germany, which has had to tolerate countless US military bases on its soil since the end of WW2, is no longer a pioneer in such things.
Of course it gets more complicated when one starts asking, “What is Germany?” Is it the people, is it the politicians, is it only a couple of exceptionally elite politicians, is it the country that produced all that wonderful art, poetry and music by amazing individuals?
I’m afraid that most of the rest of our discussion has been wasted in running pointless circles around issues which neither of us intended to address at all – at least not on this particular page. Since I do read almost all of the articles here, I try to save time by getting to the core of the issue where possible.
Anyway, the protest was not banned after all, and apparently it went well, despite the media predictably ignoring it. Small mercies, for now.

Behave yourself.If you want to bait someone don’t run away if they bite.

You said :

”An example of that is what you call, “Germany”, drawing the conclusion that because of what happened 75 years ago or more, “Germany” is not to be trusted today. That IS stereotyping and racist.”

Yes, I call it ‘Germany’ . I think you’ll find a lot of people do. It’s the name of the country.I didn’t say Germany isn’t to be trusted today because of what it did 75 years ago. You said i said it.

”You also talk about a great number of interesting topics, where other people have criticized your view, but where I have not. Is your purpose to make me feel part of a conspiracy against you?”

A couple of points. I see no signs of a conspiracy against me or anyone else.I think you’re paranoid if you imagine that I imagine something.The other point- conspiracy or no conspiracy against me.It means nothing.

At the end of the day my only gripe concerning Germany hasn’t been mentioned here.I can’t abide it’s chancellor, I’ll say that. Call me anti-feminist, anti-semitic- anti German, or antibiotic. I really don’t care.I believe she embodies arrogance and is in league with the darker forces of governments elsewhere.I think the German people will sicken of her soon.But that’s another subject.For this one, I’m making the line between history and the present clear.

I simply pointed out a misleading, inaccurate and prejudiced use of the word “Germany”, and I made no other assumptions about you or your comment.
I like, and agree with much of what you generally have to say, so let’s just leave it at that.

There’s a big difference between semantics and lies. You didn’t misinterpret my words, you replaced them then tried to use the new words as an excuse to call me prejudiced.

It’s not a matter of winning an argument it’s a matter of correcting somebody making allegations that have no substance.

”and you still assume I even care whether you are anti-this or anti-that. ”

No, you pulled a hamstring trying to stretch a point that I hadn’t made but you had, in order to accuse me of being anti German. That’s a lot of wasted effort if you don’t ‘even care’ wouldn’t you agree.

”I simply pointed , inaccurate and prejudiced use of the word ‘ Germany’ “

Oh, OK. What should i have called it- Japan ?

When me, or anyone you read or listen too, names ‘Germany’ ( Japan) in the context of genocide and eugenics – based murder they are not blaming the whole country and it’s citizens, they’re talking about the Nazi party.It won’t be an analysis of the history of genocide, but the headliner will always be Germany due to their overt pride in their quest to eliminate more than just Jews. Some paid the price at the show trial in Nuremberg.Most were paid to join America and carry their quest forward with greater momentum.So yes, I’m anti CIA as well.Does that make me prejudiced against all Americans ?

 At the risk of offending you or anyone else, I admit I’m slightly prejudiced against Nazis. I think they were unpleasant.So, I’m a little ‘anti – nazi’. The thread was relating to Germany.So my reply was too.

I don’t connive – there is simply no need to – nor am I easily offended. But all your points use extreme examples, which takes us so far afield that it derails our conversation from what I actually said and what I actually think.
To take your last paragraph, for example:
“I admit I’m slightly prejudiced against Nazis. I think they were unpleasant”
In case that was not sarcasm, “unpleasant” is surely far too mild a word for what the SS stood for, and yet, for the general population of Germany at that time, it is probably an unnecessarily rude word.
You see how one gets into a quagmire of irrelevant material that way: I then have to point out to you that I am actually VERY prejudiced against the Nazis, as if such a thing needed to be stated in the first place, and as if I had given someone the impression that I supported them, simply because I had not included the sum-total of my knowledge of WW2 in a single comment.
That’s what I mean by “assumptions”.
I am trying to understand where you’re coming from here, but it seems we are really just quarrelling over elusive definitions of what it is to imply something, as well as perhaps very different outlooks on life.
At any rate, clearly, neither of us will back down, and I regret to say that the discussion is therefore going nowhere.
So, I’ll just continue to enjoy your informative comments from afar, and I wish you well.

The germ theory is racist.

Italy and Spain have both experienced high COVID-19 mortality rates, and the new study shows that both countries have lower average vitamin D levels than most northern European countries. This is partly because people in southern Europe, particularly the elderly, avoid strong sun, while skin pigmentation also reduces natural vitamin D synthesis.

The highest average levels of vitamin D are found in northern Europe, due to the consumption of cod liver oil and vitamin D supplements, and possibly less sun avoidance. Scandinavian nations are among the countries with the lowest number of COVID-19 cases and mortality rates per head of population in Europe.

Yep – vitamin D is definitely a marker of health.

Little mentioned though, is the importance of metabolic health.

Indicators of poor metabolic health are if you

  • are obese or have high levels of visceral fat
  • have high blood pressure,
  • have diabetes,
  • high triglycerides
  • low HDL

These are the most important comorbidities associated with coronavirus. “Coincidentally”, they are also indicators of an early death from other causes.

Fortunately, metabolic health is easily fixed with a low-carb and zero-seed-oil diet.

In The Netherlands, after a progressive mayor of the city of Amsterdam (the typical fanatic progressive mad woman) made a plea for an anti-racist demonstration in relation tot the recent allegedly racist killing in the US (I forgot the name), the right wing jumped on her and violently attacked her for doing that in the light of the alleged danger of infection during corona crisis, and for it being allowed. They where right concerning the obvious inconsistency of course.

Democracy my friends, like Oscar Wilde wrote, is the bludgeoning of the people, by the people, for the people. It is a long term orgy of hate and violence, an orgy of licentiousness in a twisted way combined with being a dictatorship of a thousand little dictators.

  1. There is nothing either right wing or left wing about interrogating biomedical evidence. It has nothing to do with economics, merely to do with scientific probity.
  2. As there is no specific targeting of the Jewish population by Covid19, there cannot be anything antisemitic about any position taken concerning the SARS-CoV2 virus.
  3. The only way any views about Jews can be involved in SARS-CoV2 would be the hypothetical situation that Jews were involved in one or more of: manufacturing a bioweapon subsequently released as SARS-CoV2; deliberately releasing that weapon in particular locations like Wuhan, Iran and/or Italy; organising profits to be made by Jewish-owned biotech companies through development of vaccines, having previously known that controlled release of a bioweapon was going to occur.

There is literally zero evidence right now that Jews did any of the things in point 3.

Anybody who comes up with cogent evidence that they did should share it with the world, however.

Study the networks of Zionism, both left and right wing, study the funding of political activism by mega wealthy Zionist Jews, both left and right, study the amount of big-tech which is in the hands of Zionists. Study the hand of Zionism in overall Western affairs (from a non political side). This will take some months, even years, then you may return from ignorance and decide whether where the influence and acitivity is extremely disproportional or not, and whether this influence is negligible. And you can throw away your list of framed simplistic arguments.

And did they know about the forthcoming operation? Everybody with any connections knew full well Event-201 foretold. Watch the video: they all quickly stop using the conditional tense, and shift straight into the future-imperative tense.

The tactic would appear to be to conflate the Freedom/anti-lockdown rally with widespread Extinction Rebellion protests planned for the next few days. Makes you wonder if the ER protests have been deliberately encouraged or even co-ordinated by the PTB as a smokescreen for the anti-lockdown movement and even to cause trouble there.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8670365/Extinction-Rebellion-plans-bank-holiday-weekend-protests-road-blocks.html#comments

Note that the the first list of ‘ER’ events in the article refers to ‘mass [ER] gatherings in various cities’, including London, on Saturday. According to the text of the article there will be ‘converging [ER] marches including Trafalgar Square throughout the capital, but further down in a table giving details it refers only to an ER gathering at the Bank of England. On the face of it, that wouldn’t appear to be a major gathering. There is no mention at all of the Freedom/anti-lock down rally in the article.

One of the BTL comments is from a lady saying that she is going to ‘the anti-lockdown protest in Trafalgar Square and she hopes that ER don’t cause trouble’. Someone replies to her that she ‘shouldn’t be having her own protest at an organised protest’ (i.e. ER).

This is all looking highly ominous.

Even a terrorist bomber will have been sold some story inorder to convince them or might not even be aware there is a bomb in their bag having been tricked into it. They are never the less still engaged in terrorism. The act of wearing a mask could facilitate much more serious crimes such as the mass genocide the covid cult have been planning under guise of a “second wave”.

WHO is proven to promote fake pandemics (e.g. SARS 1) and they changed the definition of a global pandemic so that they can claim one from a smaller national impact, with a smaller number of cases.

The noise from the movement’s lawyers and other ‘luminaries’ is that this decision will be overturned shortly – by Friday evening. They have brought an ‘Eilantrag’ – an urgent, accelerated legal process challenging the ban – and are consequently in constant liaison with the deciding court, and are very confident the ban will be overturned. On the communications side, this is being received by the movement as the best advertising they could ever have wished for, and indeed reactions from Germans across various channels can be summed up as, “Well now I’m coming and nothing can stop me”. Ken Jebsen has suggested simply saying they’re not demonstrating, they’re just going for a democratic stroll through Berlin. Markus Haintz, one of the movement’s lead lawyers, has called for Geisel’s resignation. And so on.

It smells very strongly of panicked desperation on the part of the state. Indeed, there was a whistleblower leak about 10 days ago from someone inside govt saying exactly this: the Merkel regime is in a state of bunker-panic. They have lost control and legitimacy and rapidly growing numbers of ‘ordinary’ Germans are being radicalised by this ban.

I watched a report on YouTube but sadly can’t find it anymore. My liked-videos history show plenty of deletions, so perhaps it got removed. The insider remained anonymous, they were only filmed from the rear, and their voice was disguised. Not the strongest evidence on its own perhaps, but in conjunction with what took place on 1 August and what is taking place right now re. the band, plus common-sense assessments regarding the enormity of what is at stake for the Merkel regime, that a whistleblower would emerge and report what he/she reported is neither surprising nor at all at odd with events.

Sorry I can’t be more helpful than that.

Via vlogger/activist Samuel Eckert and a klagepaten.de idea, the movement just submitted 1,000 new demonstration requests in Berlin for Saturday 20 August (YouTube, in German) to the police today. Not sure what effect it will have, but it shows the spirit behind this movement and its ability to react nimbly and creatively.

They are the group who collaboratively initiated the Berlin protests. Shows what respect the authorities truly have for the views of professional experts.

I am not protesting against the establishment so much as joining in witness for freedom. I have to live with myself. While I meet the effects of the fear in the many that support the few who control them, I don’t take identity from them – or I couldn’t live with myself.
Rage is very exhausting to swallow and ferment in, and potentially very destructive to self and others.
The Economy was already trashed – but kept on zombie status until the timing was right to switch to social credit based on state directed incentives. I have a different idea of an Economy than control because I have a different appreciation of worth and potentials for growth.

May you find the qualities of life and worth that your sense of outrage would move to protect – for they cant just be your own personal hell. The Left that I hold dear is human solidarity in shared willingness. Not a sacrifice of self to state that then moulds them into virtue signalling hate. I am not denying our freedom to feel the hatred in our hearts – but I am looking to bring into awareness to undo or heal – not to public hate-fests of blame and shame claiming moral high ground.

If we want a better future, we need willingness for a better present from which to SEE and navigate our own mutually reinforcing liabilities. I cant wait for the ruling class. They will have to catch up or find their own way. The more invested in outworn or unfitting illusion, the more truth is fought and resisted.

Most of us have been sucked into the ‘New Normal’, through fear reinforced by a very sophisticated misinformation campaign run, not by the government, but ‘outsourced’ to private/academic outfits of one kind and another. And example is Mindscape (I’ve supplied a link to it elsewhere) commissioned by the Cabinet Office. Essentially, the govt has waged psychological war on the public, which then went on to infect pretty much the rest of the planet.

The second method is to saturate us with too much information, principally statistics and very effective censorship (which obviously didn’t work in Germany and starting not to work in a bunch of other countries as well). This could well lead to our very own 1917 Winter Palace, who knows, when this kind of shit happens, it can happen real fast, Events cascading through feedback reinforces change.

Here’s a link again to the PDF: ‘Mindspace’ – Influencing behaviour through public policy.

I wrote a short piece, with the same title here:

Mindspace…

And I’m now seeing comparable stuff popping up all over the place, the latest (unfortunately) in South Africa, on changing public behaviour.

It’s scary shit and way beyond the capabilities of these cheap, ignorant shysters called the government.

Psychological manipulation can be described by many different names because it masks as every kind of sell, advice. consultancy, expertise, service, protection or whatever – to boost a sense of lack, to provide an insider advantage, to generate a sense of self-inflation. The net result is that any short term gain or promise soon gives way to a dependency.

This wisdom is not mine – but as old as the deceiver – because the recognition of the mind of the deceiver is the wisdom to refuse, or not to use it.

‘Post truth’ is a phrase for ‘nudging framing and manipulating outcomes in ways that the target doesn’t even recognise are in play – such as to believe they follow their own thinking and choices.

Likewise those who think to wield this as power are immediately corrupted and think they are following their own thinking and making their own choices.

The danger of evil intent is the cost and burden of the mind of its justification. This is hidden by design but out of sight is NOT out of mind.

I can say for my part that I see the hollowing out of the living, by mind under fear is not just in many ordinary people, but in the so called leaders.

However, I don’t use perceived evil or deceit as a source of moral self justification, and so I don’t give any more attention than for whatever purpose it is in my awareness. And I don’t give hate to the negativity that feeds on it.

The attempt to break apart so as to break in and control is an act of a broken mind that knows not what it does because it takes its state of broken nurture as its nature.

Unmasking the mind as if to open greater knowledge carries with it the temptation or liability to bring new insight into the old paradigm – which degrades, devalues and distorts the insight to a subversion or corrupted framing of truth in forms of private self agenda. Good ideas can thus unleash terrible and destructive forces – in the name – but not the nature – of truth, virtue or necessity.

The checkmate of the mind in its own manipulations is part of our times. But the key to this is to recognise such mind within our own awareness and release investment or allegiance – which can be hidden by polarised reaction.

The idea of outsmarting the mind is an example of being manipulated through over confidence in our own thinking. The mind is so quick as to have already provided a backstory for any situation, and the incentive to believe it (give it priority and acceptance).

So we (generalisation term) are collectively dissociating in ways that may at times open psychotic experience – which is not controllable because it is NOT HERE in relation but operating from psychic forces that I associate with separation trauma.

The globalist tower of Babel shatters into worlds that cannot communicate. BUT all of that is a split mind set against itself in ego-alien encounter.

Its late and this is the response that came up to the theme of sacrificing human dialogue and reason for an inhuman or alienating fantasy. How can human beings target their own kind without blanking or alienating their ‘target’ AND themselves? Sure they are fed a self-specialness – but it’s false and serves them in falsely.

You are right, it isn’t politicians who are doing this – or even their handlers. Ideas either segregate and tyrannise the mind of their thinking or extend and share in the Mind of communication. Can selfishness be brought to an open awareness and find true service?
The idea of eradicating it is not other than a version of it.
Human beings have the capacity to identify in image and model to the exclusion of relational recognition. We become the ‘alien agenda’ from the very fear of such, taken in and acted from as ‘true’.

Its easier to hate and fear psychological manipulators, than recognise an already running deceit – that we have lived in and learned as our world – and are not so much now sucked into – but in a process of disclosure.

I reflected upon the nature of the choice to operate such a mind – and thus participate IN it. This is not recognised, and runs as conditioned learning or habit.

For the most mart a masking persona dumps blame to the ‘persons’ of others. I am not interested in responsibility as ‘blame’ – but as awakened conscious choice, and in these two are the two choices that seem to battle a split mind.

But I feel you are understanding that deceit is fundamental to the nature of an ‘attack or denial of life of Earth’ that expresses itself as toxic on all levels of our human experience – including our beautiful planet. The will to heal is the key – for the lack of willingness or our block to such response is the willingness to persist in toxic narratives.

I am not interested in eliciting ‘sympathies’ for otherwho have to face their own consequences but in recognising a ‘law’ of consciousness that a mind of deceit thinks it has escaped or is excepted from. But it is the nature of mind that what we give out, is the measure of what we receive.That this is a ‘delayed reaction’ in our human experience is the nature of using deceit to buy time. For you can choose to out off what you are currently unready or unwilling to own – at a cost. You can deny truth – but not without cost.

My response wasn’t to you personally – but to the theme of mind control or psychological manipulation as the usurping of human relationship, communication and trust.

If you don’t resonate with where I am pointing to, then of course it has no reference point in your current sense of life.
I question the ‘world’ of our persona set in conflict as a point of reference prior to the post-processing of perception into complex narratives by which to conceal toxic debts.

This ‘prior’ awareness is what I point to. Yet the mind we are masked in is invoked or generated to operate so as to not be able to SEE. It will always see something diversionary, or manage NOT to see what is literally in its face.

Everything going on can be used to recognise inner constructs. NOT to manipulate, but to release from manipulative intent.

Perhaps the succinct summary is ‘release and be released’ there is no other way of freedom.

I appreciate your civility in response and your humanity amidst a toxic mind and toxic world.

Because someone doesn’t support the ‘fight’ against the problem as you perceive it does not mean they are apathetic.
Persisting a futility as the only way to maintain a sense of self and world must result in a futile result no matter how much hope is given it – or how many generations are spent on it.

The rich in the world’s terms have invested identity in a lot to lose and so are tightly defended against change – excepting as their own ratcheting of controlling that change (no change there then).
The poor in the world’s terms have so little that any change holds threat of losing everything – and so there is a joining in the ‘establishment’ or status quo, as the lesser evil – or the ‘devil we know’.
Fear of the unknown is not fear of what we have never met, thought or discovered, but as mask over fear of revisiting separation trauma that remains active in our energy field but denied consciousness – because it is the ‘overwhelm’ by which a mind is split off as a dissociative survivor as a masking strategy or persona predicated on and coloured by the particulars of it nature and nurture.

Coming to our ‘senses’ is a term for releasing a dissociated mind-frame to a present appreciation as a wholeness of being in relationship.
Our technological mind is an extension of the ability to model or imagine and test out or even be-live and explore ‘reality potentials’ as the alignment of model and experience – regardless of any underlying reality empiric coherence.

The experience of ‘mind-control’ is of being subjected and limited and controlled – but it is also the framework of control – or the operating system within which the idea of control can be lived out.

Fear and control are two sides of a split mind … contd on:

The word I notice you give power to is the word ‘just’.

I didn’t say ‘just a perception’ – but that is what you choose to perceive I said.

I actually intended something worthy of sharing.

You took a meaning – and the meaning that you are running with isn’t ‘just’ your perception – it is the result of your current state of mind with regard to what I wrote. In which I was calling attention to a specific assumption on your part that you have evaded by seeking to amplify my point to make it appear extreme and ridiculous.

The mask of a mind set under dictate to face OUT, is by definition blind to that which directs it – and yet what we see OUT in the world, is through the filters of our mind and can reveal what was hidden to a capacity to release our filtering judgements and invite a different perception-response and total experience. This applies unconditionally – but why not start with the moment we find ourselves in?

You might note that the ‘psychopathic’ element – or those of a cognitive dissonance are completely unwilling, or unable, to look within and question their perceived reality.

The masking mind seeks to escape itself from its fear by seeing something else. The mask is then adapted to its perceptions and the perceptions to the need to defend the mask against disclosure.

The generation of cover stories against disclosure or sideshow diversions and false trails is all part of the mask.

You don’t know what you are looking at unless you know who and what you are. Currently you are taking your identity JUST from your perception-response to a compression cycle that in my opinion is inevitable change, that the masking mind of control seeks to position itself to limit consciousness so as to save face and maintain ‘control’. 

The other word in your reply that runs up a flag for me is ‘wish’.

Everywhere they are trying to portray us as rabid anti-social with no empathy for others, confused in our thinking, extreme right… What we need to understand is that most of society has been made to believe they stand united and we are problematic, and it may even go towards criminalizing us, who knows: they have been made to believe they stand united in the war against covid, a war that must be won otherwise humans will disappear, and we are preventing them from doing so, taking humans towards an early demise.

The French demo is organized by someone who is not fully on board or cognizant of the issues, he is against the attacks on freedom, and so on and so forth. He believes there is a virus and that authorities are doing what they can to contain it, only they’ve gone too far and people are suffering, psychologically, losing their jobs, having no life.

So in the French demo you’re advised to bring a mask. And there wont be any powerful voices, nothing. Evidently what will happen is you’re going to be simply blacklisted for no purpose because you’ll mainly be surrounded at best by some 200 or so people who certainly are motivated by the curtailment to their liberties and economic losses, but dont understand much.
There is no way they can succeed in changing anything. Do you know what the majority is saying? They’re all only the selfish among the younger generations, who want to go and have parties. Thats what even those anti-covid among the academics are saying.

As for the JG, they’ve got the entire elites, academics, intelligentsia against them,
both the pro and anti ones. To tell the truth, even though Ive had sympathy for the
terrible suffering they reflect, even though I have never hidden my views in former writings and have long been extremely worried about what is happening all over the world, I too had after a while little sympathy for them, for I felt an incredible class hatred, and this like other movements in France are more interested in keeping some special social privileges for certain professions than uniting all. The discourse is very divisive. And by incessantly blocking public transport, they made it impossible for people like me to work properly, and to move about (in Paris we’ve been blocked and hampered from before covid measures!): I know many who lost their earnings because of that long before covid because they could not get to work.

As a taxi driver said to me: if any of these people were truly interested in doing something, rather than being led by selfish motivations, then the first thing they would do is make transports free as part of the strike. For a protest only makes it hard for the rest of us in society to work and live, by blocking everything, it does not in any way affect the authorities, who are going round in their chauffeur driven limousines.
Forcing free transports would hurt at the heart of the State. And indeed the GJ and unions were asked earlier this year why they didnt do so: their answer was wonderful: its illegal”!!!

So should one wonder that the so-called educated classes are to some or to a full extent following the government as the only protection in fear of that hatred they feel from the GJ and co.?
Some who were unhappy with lockdowns and so on told me: see, where are the GJ? Were they truly interested in some true upheaval and true change, would they remain silent precisely when they are needed? I can tell you they missed a huge opportunity there: uniting the best of the elites and the rest of the country.

And I am all too aware of the Terror period and I know that if that happens, its people like me, those from among the elites, who have sacrificed our entire lives for our values, who will be shot first. Those like Ferguson or others, they’ll manage to be fine.

What is urgently needed everywhere is proper leadership from the professional classes, as in the UK, to organize and unite the larger number in a greater human purpose.
So far in history, grassroots movements without leadership have always failed.

Excellent post.

To pick up on one of the points you made – free transportation. At the height of the gillet jaune protests last year,in southern France the GJ ‘took over’ many of the motorway toll booths, opened the barriers and simply waved motorists through whilst collecting their tickets. (Perhaps RobG could corroborate whether this happened in his part of France.)

I don’t know whether that was happening in northern France.

It is only a small example, of course, and probably hurt the motorway franchise operators more than the govt, but I imagine Vinci (I think that’s the operator) were squealing to the govt regarding lost revenues. So perhaps some pressure was brought to bear.

It isn’t necessarily about causing catastrophic losses in one specific area; it’s more the drip, drip, drip of smaller, more targeted actions that have a cumulative effect across many areas.

Such actions also have the benefit of being visible to more people in these times of excessive media censorship. One action in one place can be ignored by the news. If lots of people are seeing it everywhere they go, every day, it becomes impossible to censor. I recall that, at the time, the widespread attitude toward the GJ was positive because they were seen as (indeed, were) ordinary people standing up to Macron.

That is what is needed everywhere. Large demos are fine as far as they go, but I would contend that their greatest benefit is in showing the attendees that they are not alone and allowing them to exchange ideas and sources of information (much like this site does). So, having attended such a demo, perhaps some of those people would be inspired to go home and plan something on a smaller scale.

Perhaps that will happen in Germany, where they are taught from an early age about the dangers of fascism. Perhaps not. Time will, as they say, tell.

But in practice that makes not the slightest difference. It’s exactly what the Nazis would have done; and explaining it as “infection protection” is exactly the sort of sly trick they would adopted with glee.

I always think it’s highly amusing – if sad – to reflect that things are just the same in Germany and Austria today as they were in 1938.

In those days you were punished for praising Jews or criticizing the Nazis, and rewarded for criticizing the Jews and praising the Nazis.

Today it’s exactly the same, just the other way round.

It’s mainly social approval. But also government influence, which spreads very far. If your employer depends on the government in any way – and even Jeff Bezos is highly dependent on the good will of the US government – then a quiet word over a drink “in the club” (see “Yes, Minister”) may end your chances of promotion, or get you made redundant.

Conversely, if the government approves of you, you may go far.

I’d say this selective record of which protests SARS-COV-2 allegedly would use to spread itself and which it would leave alone (who knew a virus had such a discriminating political viewpoint?) is proof that governments know this is all a fraud, just as much as Ferguson proved he knows his lockdown prescriptions are fraudulent when he got caught flouting them.

Here’s looking to the protestors to defy the ban, citing the government’s patent political favoritism and fraud in the process.

I hope the German people defy this banning of the protest in droves; in their tens of thousands.
Ignore the puppet politicians who are not for the people, but who instead whore themselves for the 0.01% and for the ushering in of a technofascist dystopia.
I don’t even need to wonder, what the response would have been from Andreas Geisel and his snivelling ilk, if the protest scheduled for Berlin this weekend was instead for Black Lives Matter and not against the draconian covid measures.
I already know the answer. We have many examples from round the World in the last couple of months.

Gezzah – I’m sure the protest will go ahead anyway and people will still turn up, as will those in London on Saturday. As somebody said recently ‘you don’t give people permission for a revolution’. I’ll be out protesting on Saturday for sure!

Like all radical leftist groups today, BLM divide the people into sinners (the dumb racist white majority) and the saints (radical white leftists who fight evil white racists). Such groups threaten ordinary people, workers and democracy, not the globalist elite who are funding and using the violent left as puppets and tools to divide and rule. Is there anything more effective for preventing popular unity and resistance than leftists hating and attacking ‘racist’ normies and non-leftists like crazed zombies?

The injection cult are racists so the whole point is to deflect from how lockdowns harm dark skinned people the most. Instead of exposing the racist agenda of the covid cult you play into the game by trying to make lockdown opponents look like the “far right” opposed to BLM. Dark skinned people need more sun to get vitamin D and are harmed most by germ theory.

Berlin is heavily influenced by US ideology. Dig this: The West, including Berlin, is now pushing for change in China.

Don’t laugh, but they really thought that they could push and coerce the biggest country in the world, reshape it in their image. This happens at a time when the US is displaying her faulty designs in the streets while China has moved forward. Instead of whinging and whining about the Uighurs we ought to thank China for preventing a fundamental dictatorship from Grozny to Urumqi.

A few fewer freedoms are a small price to pay for preventing a religious dictatorship.

Germany is a nation dominated by leftists and pacifists who oppose NATO, hate the US, have completely run down their military forces, want to deal with Putin and Xi but not Trump, and have failed to pay their share of NATO bills for decades. That’s why Trump is relocating US troops to Poland.

I am there, and he is even more remote from objective reality than usual. He has this bee in his bonnet about the left, you see. They’re everywhere. Al Capone ranted about Commies in his last years too, but at least he had the excuse of dementia caused by late-stage syphilis.
Germany is so dominated by lefties that a small group of Nazis, the NSU, could murder foreigners, mostly Turks, for nearly a decade and the police assured the victims’ families that it was the Turkish mafia. A Verfassungsschutz informant was actually present at one of the murders yet strangely enough the German state apparently knew nothing. More recently a CDU (not a leftie) politician, Walter Luebcke, was murdered by a Nazi after dissenting from the “hate refugees” line. At least this time a few people were arrested quickly.

Yes, thank you Yellow Man Good and the glorious revolution made by the USA. 3m Chinese Uigyurs, Tibetans and other undesirables do indeed deserve to be in the concentration camps built by US ideology. Like the dirty Jews, these evil groups threaten the world on behalf of Donald Trump and Nike. Interestingly, I believe the Nazis used Jewish skin to make lamp shades and other goods. This old American custom of using dead people efficiently has been improved by the lovely Chinese, who like to harvest and sell their prisoners’ organs for a nice profit (I’m not sure if all donors must be dead first). Now that’s really adopting capitalist and American ideology. But how did the demonic Americans cleverly produce Nazi ideology and Hitler, I wonder?

I think you need some new disinfo; your old disinfo has gone rancid and started to stink. it smells like … fascism.

but you should receive extra chutzpah points for recycling the Jewish lampshade story, decades after it was officially repudiated. as a famous person once said, the bigger the lie, the more people will believe it.

Indeed, there has been some official acknowledgement even by a major Jewish holocaust organization repudiating a certain type of such alleged atrocities with which they where advertising for decades before. By the way, the organization claimed that the reason for the removing it from the list was that ‘deniers’ were using it to make their case. So these organization didn’t like the fact that the revisionists used certain things (soap, lampshades, hair for mattresses, etc) for which there is absolutely no proof.
Perhaps food for though, they discarded it not because there is no proof, but because of revisionists using it. They cleverly understood that removing a few of these fantastic things from the big list of fantasies they maintain cannot hurt the whole fictive tale.

Reuters has a story on this.

About 20,000 people, including libertarians, constitutional loyalists, far-right supporters and anti-vaccination activists, marched in Berlin on Aug. 1.
Geisel said the organisers of that protest had deliberately broken rules they had previously agreed with police, including wearing masks and maintaining social distancing.
“Such behaviour is not acceptable. The state cannot be given the runaround,” he said, adding he did not want Berlin to be a stage for conspiracy theorists and right-wing extremists.

I think you exaggerate the influence and the capabilities of my old country and town, Berlin.

The many millions of foreigners who have come to Germany since about 1978 ensure there is no cohesive society. Reporting negative events will be branded as nest soiling and the editor will not run that story.

The one thing that they got mostly right is the relationship to Russia including NordStream2. It does not make sense to Germans to refuse cooperation with Russia because they do not want millions of hungry refugees from Russia descending on Germany. After the US elections the NordStream2 thing will come to its head.

Americans just cannot understand that harrassing countries with sanctions causes refugees which the neighbourhoods do not want. The wars and refugees do not descend on the US, so they have no right to meddle in the Russian/German relationship.

War refugees may not descend on the US; but refugees of the many Latin American coups have attempted such a feat – and were not well received. As always, people are perfectly okay with refugees so long as it’s someone else’s problem.

What’s your view on Herr Merkel seeking big trade deals with emperor Xi Jinping, while not saying a word about the 3m Muslims and Tibetans and other undesirables rotting in his communist concentration camps? Weird that, given that (arguably) no global leader today more resembles Hitler in belief and practice than Xi Jinping. You’d think that progressive Angela might follow Trump’s example of choosing to condemn tyrants who deny human rights and freedoms, and to sanction rather than seek lucrative trade deals! Angela, of course, frequently criticises the democratically-elected Trump and the USA. She seems unable to recall how Americans gave their lives to save Germany first from the murdering Nazis and then spent trillions restoring and protecting Germans and Western Europe from the murdering communists for decades. Unable to express gratitude or pay her NATO defence bills, Angela is clearly pissed that the US has spiked the German-Russian deal to make Western Europe dependent on Russian gas. Perhaps you support her? Also, have you seen how ‘refugees’ and illegal immigrants have been flooding the US via Mexico for decades? Trump famously promised suffering Americans a wall to stop the problem, and got elected for it. Clearly, leftists just cannot understand that, or that they do not speak on behalf of what ‘Americans’ want, only on behalf of what leftists want.

It’s a common historical response in many countries when people question authority.
I have been waiting a long time to see the use of the term ‘deniers’. Corona Deniers!
It’s the usual ad hominem attack employed in desperation, the admission of collapse of a narrative, and it conveniently segregates anyone who doesn’t parrot the Party Line. It doesn’t mean the narrative is over, just the recognition that it’s failing and only force will keep it in place.
It’s also a convenient appellation for the MSM to use in headlines, such as ‘Corona denier, Mr X, etc etc’, immediately branding Mr X as undesirable, and just wrong. Note also that the government refers to the ‘deniers’ as ‘right wing’, another useful appellation to be applied to anyone who doesn’t agree with what you say.
It’s helpful to note that in this current event most all so-called ‘deniers’ are not denying there’s an infectious virus, they’re protesting the puzzling and inordinate response to a fairly normal annual event that varies in its intensity.
Anyway, judging by the last demonstrations, minimised by the media but revealed in photos to be huge, it looks like the Germans will still demonstrate, which poses a political problem: will the government forcibly suppress them? What better motivation to demonstrate could protesters have?
