REGARDLESS of the fact that the nationalist, populist AFD party doubled its vote in last week’s German federal elections and is now the country’s second biggest political party, the globalists have very cleverly managed to install their man Friedrich Merz as the new Chancellor.
In fact it’s quite an obvious strategy for the professional political string-pullers. Put your guy in charge of the nominally “conservative” mainstream party because woke socialists are historically on the nose, and rely on the bulk of dumb voters who always “vote team B” to get your guy across the line.
When the results come in an you obviously don’t have enough seats to rule on your own, so you go into coalition with the woke socialists, “because really, there’s not much difference between us anyway”. The main thing is that you kept the “far-right” isolated, just like Macron and his handlers did with Marie Le Pen’s French nationalists.
Merz, of course, as leader of the Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) since 2022, is an alleged “conservative”, just like Peter Dutton or Christopher Luxon of Australia and New Zealand’s Liberal and National parties. Merz has all the qualifications of a globalist (see inset).
Slimy Mr Merz, of course, will soon join hands with the Social Democrats, Germany’s equivalent of Labor. As stated by his cheer squad at the Associated Press: “The only plausible choice of coalition partner for the Union — which like other mainstream parties rules out working with Alternative for Germany — is the Social Democrats of outgoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz. They slumped to third place and their worst post-World War II result in a German parliamentary election on Sunday.”
So the party credited with a “lacklustre win” and the other party recording its worst result since WW2, get together to lock out the highly popular and rising Alternative for Germany. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark, as they say.
Effectively, the 20.8% of Germans who voted AFD, have been disenfranchised, just like the one third of Aussies who preferenced non-mainstream parties last were disenfranchised and forced to send their votes to either of the mainstream red-blue zombie parties.
Merz will do what Luxon did: Drop a few populist catchphrases during the campaign but once elected get down to his real business, which is protecting the globalist status quo while talking “immigration reform” and “economic growth”.
The former will probably involve a few additonal restrictions after some sort of long-winded inquiry while the latter is simply code word for “net zero targets” and essentially more of what the previous government did.
