"The economic powerhouse of Europe" - Germany dominates the European Union.

Germany is a nation state in Europe. In 2020, it was #7 in the world in terms of military expenditure.[1] Germany ranked 5th worldwide as regards arms exports in 2018-2022, after 4 UN Security Council members, US, Russia, China and France.[2]

History

Following defeat in World War I, Germany lost control of its colonies. To this day, Germany refuses to compensate directly the descendants of people that were murdered during German colonial rule in Africa.[3][4]

Under Hitler's rule, Germany quickly became a totalitarian state where many aspects of life were controlled by the government. The Third Reich, meaning "Third Realm" or "Third Empire", referred to the Nazi claim that Nazi Germany was the successor to the earlier Holy Roman Empire (800–1806) and German Empire (1871–1918). The Third Reich, which the Nazis referred to as the Thousand-Year Reich, ended in May 1945, after only 12 years, when the Allies defeated Germany and entered the capital, Berlin, ending World War II in Europe.

Following defeat in 1945, it was partitioned into two separate states, East (German Democratic Republic) & West Germany (Federal Republic of Germany) and became a frontier state in the Cold War.

“And we in Germany have not been fully sovereign at any time since May 8, 1945.”
Wolfgang Schäuble (2011)  [5]

Parliamentary inquiries by The Left in 2015 about the status of Germany under international law, led to the following official answer:

"The Federal Constitutional Court has consistently ruled that the subject of international law "German Reich" * has not ceased to exist and that the Federal Republic of Germany is not its legal successor, but is identical to it as a subject of international law."

(*referring to the period of 1871 to 1945 [1])

All governments of the Federal Republic of Germany from 1949 to 1989 consistently advocated the release of German war criminals and other Nazi criminals in other Western countries.[6]

"The Turning Point"

After the reunification, when there was no competition between the two parts of Germany anymore, in which one defined itself as the "workers state" (east Germany), and the other tried to match the talk with social policies (west Germany), there was no incentive in the unified Germany to keep up welfare of prior times. Starting with Agenda 2010, and from there on more progressively, working conditions have worsened in many areas of the economy. The part of the society that is described as the working poor has increased in size.

Germany Deep state.jpg

After World War II, the US and UK deep states took the opportunity to try to establish clandestine control of the country, while also creating a plausible democratic process behinds which to hide their influence. The extent to which Operation Gladio was/is used is uncertain. Le Cercle has been an important deep state milieu for the post-WW2 German Deep state.

Policies

Deep Lobbying

Germany had a strange cooperation with Nuclear power in the 2020s. Germany closed its last nuclear power plant, a culmination of a wish following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.[7] A strange form of deep lobbying as Germany had very little to do with the plant, no severe accidents have happened, and Germany was vital in not banning gas-fuelled cars in the EU.[8]

Mass surveillance

Full article: Rated 3/5 Mass surveillance

In 2015, Germany signalled that it intended to ease laws that make it hard for organisations to operate open access public WiFi.[9]

In 2016, a report indicated that the BND was planning a large increase in its mass surveillance capabilities.[10]

In 2017, German authorities were revealed to be "preparing a law that will force device manufacturers to include backdoors within their products that law enforcement agencies could use at their discretion for legal investigations. The law would target all modern devices, such as cars, phones, computers, IoT products, and more."[11]

Covid 19

At the beginning of 2020, the WEForum on their website mentions Germany as an example for how to fight the "epidemic" properly.[12] By early 2021 some voices (like former Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière)[13] call for changes in the constitution to enable a state of emergency more easily in the future.

Unvaccinated MPs are banned from attending the Bundestag (German Parliament).[14]

Nuclear power

Germany closed its last nuclear power plant, a culmination of a wish following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.[15] A strange form of deep lobbying as Germany had very little to do with the plant, no severe accidents have happened, and Germany was vital in in not banning gas-fuelled cars in the EU.[16]

Freedom of speech

A poll conducted in 2019 found that only 18 percent of Germans feel free to express their views in public, over 31 percent of Germans did not even feel free expressing themselves in private among friends. Just 17 percent felt free to express themselves on the Internet and 35 percent said that freedom to speak is confined to the smallest of private circles.[17][18]

The Chancellery and other ministries have, since 2018,[19] paid journalist (from private sector and public broadcasters) high salaries for relative short time engagements. After initial redacted release and the uncovering of a portion of the names, the files have been classified.[20]

Media

The commercially-controlled media in Germany is in the hands of a few families:[21] Springer, Mohn, Burda, Madsack, Schaub, Funke, Ströer

Anonymous denunciation

In July 2023, an Orwellian named "Whistleblower Protection Act" came into force[22]. The Act requires companies and institutions that employ more than 49 people to set up reporting points, in total more than 100,000 of these. The formal pretext is to let anyone who observes crimes or other offenses among their work colleagues can report them there, enabling whistleblowers to report grievances more securely. [23]

The real purpose is to allow political denunciation of coworkers, since Act also applies "to the notification (...) and the disclosure (...) from information about (...) statements that constitute a violation of the obligation to adhere to the Constitution".[22] The "whistleblower" can submit his report anonymously. Although the "whistleblower" might also submit "false reports", it is "forbidden" to sanction him on the basis of this.

2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine/Preparation“Russia behind the Headlines has published an interview with Gorbachev, who was Soviet president during the discussions and treaty negotiations concerning German reunification. The interviewer asked why Gorbachev did not “insist that the promises made to you [Gorbachev]—particularly U.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s promise that NATO would not expand into the East—be legally encoded?” Gorbachev replied: “The topic of ‘NATO expansion’ was not discussed at all, and it wasn’t brought up in those years. … Another issue we brought up was discussed: making sure that NATO’s military structures would not advance and that additional armed forces would not be deployed on the territory of the then-GDR after German reunification. Baker’s statement was made in that context… Everything that could have been and needed to be done to solidify that political obligation was done. And fulfilled.” Gorbachev continued that “The agreement on a final settlement with Germany said that no new military structures would be created in the eastern part of the country; no additional troops would be deployed; no weapons of mass destruction would be placed there. It has been obeyed all these years.” To be sure, the former Soviet president criticized NATO enlargement and called it a violation of the spirit of the assurances given Moscow in 1990, but he made clear there was no promise regarding broader enlargement.”Brookings Institution

Klaus von Dohnányi“Today, Germany and Europe are not sovereign when it comes to security and foreign policy. It's the US that is leading the way here in Europe. Do they also pursue our interests? Are they leading Europe into a peaceful future in terms of foreign and security policy? I have doubts"”Klaus von DohnányiAugust 2022
Ulrike Guérot“Personally, I could never have imagined that such a thing could happen in Germany, and only a few months after 70 years of the Basic Law were pompously celebrated in 2019. Aren't we the country of "Resist the beginnings"? Don't we have — like no other country - a well-financed Federal Agency for Civic Education? Has political education not been held up in this country as hardly anywhere else? So one could have expected that the knowledge of the Basic Law has passed into the flesh and blood of all German citizens, as it were, just as Christians have the Lord's Prayer. But apparently only as lip service, because when it became serious, when it was necessary for the first time to master a major social crisis with the Basic Law, yes, to adhere to law and order, especially in the time of crisis, we were instead governed by "Necessity has no law", at the call of the Robert Koch Institute, so to speak. All this was then also sanctioned by the Supreme Constitutional Court, instead it supporting its disenfranchised citizens.”Ulrike GuérotNovember 2022

Jarosław Kaczyński“Of course, Germany operates under the veil of the European Union. Remember, we are not arguing with the EU, we are its loyal members, we argue with Germany. We just do not want the old German idea from the 1915 book, called ‘Mitteleuropa’, in which Poland was planned to be a country subordinate to Germany, which can develop economically, but must always be clearly behind Germany,”Jarosław Kaczyński25 September 2022

Vladimir Putin“Western countries have been saying for centuries that they bring freedom and democracy to other nations. Nothing could be further from the truth. Instead of bringing democracy they suppressed and exploited, and instead of giving freedom they enslaved and oppressed. The unipolar world is inherently anti-democratic and unfree; it is false and hypocritical through and through.

The United States is the only country in the world that has used nuclear weapons twice, destroying the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. And they created a precedent. Recall that during WWII the United States and Britain reduced Dresden, Hamburg, Cologne and many other German cities to rubble, without the least military necessity. It was done ostentatiously and, to repeat, without any military necessity. They had only one goal, as with the nuclear bombing of Japanese cities: to intimidate our country and the rest of the world.

The United States left a deep scar in the memory of the people of Korea and Vietnam with their carpet bombings and use of napalm and chemical weapons. It actually continues to occupy Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea and other countries, which they cynically refer to as equals and allies. Look now, what kind of alliance is that? The whole world knows that the top officials in these countries are being spied on and that their offices and homes are bugged. It is a disgrace, a disgrace for those who do this and for those who, like slaves, silently and meekly swallow this arrogant behaviour.

They call the orders and threats they make to their vassals Euro-Atlantic solidarity, and the creation of biological weapons and the use of human test subjects, including in Ukraine, noble medical research.

It is their destructive policies, wars and plunder that have unleashed today’s massive wave of migrants. Millions of people endure hardships and humiliation or die by the thousands trying to reach Europe.”
