German government funds brochure attacking natural gender roles
In true Stasi fashion, the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs in Germany has allegedly been funding a brochure for young children encouraging them to spy on their conservative parents.
Published: December 6, 2018, 8:25 am
The 60-page manual was produced by the Berlin-based Amadeu Antonio Foundation (AAS), an organisation founded by Anetta Kahane, who is an ex-Stasi German journalist, and notorius left-wing activist against “racism and hate speech”.
Kahane has publicly admitted acting as an informant for the Stasi in the former East Germany.
The Ministry for State Security or State Security Service, commonly known as the Stasi, was the official state security service of the German Democratic Republic, described as one of the most repressive intelligence and secret police agencies ever to have existed.
Kahane’s project was co-funded by the Family Ministry, which is a cabinet-level ministry of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The AfD noted the “Stasi methods” set out in the manual to turn children against the values of their parents. “The army of the spies has recently infiltrated the kindergartens and kindergartens,” the party pointed out on Facebook.
German tabloid Bild described it as a training guide for recruiting children as potential “informants” against their own parents.
The manual also instructs teachers on “[H]ow to deal with it when teachers or parents make anti-refugee or racist statements in front of children, or directly attack refugee children or parents?”
The booklet is called Ene, mene, muh – und raus bist du! [Eenie, meenie, miney, moh – out you go!] Inequality and infant pedagogy”, and was penned by the Amadeu Antonio Institute describing the tell-tale signs of a conservative household as “ponytails and dresses for girls, and a strong interest in sports among boys”.
One particular description of two children was particularly disturbing because it portrayed children adopting natural gender roles as being “right-wing”.
“The girl wears dresses and braids, she is directed to do house work at home, while the boy faces strong physical challenges and drills,” states the manual, as if that is a bad thing.
If children draw shapes that even vaguely resemble runes or swastikas, it could be a sign they are being reared in a “Nazi” household.
If the children have no discipline issues, do craft work at home, are in good physical shape or seem comfortable with traditional gender roles, they are probably being reared in an authoritarian “Volkish” household, the manual warns.
Also, parents complaining about boys wearing dresses or putting on nail polish at the school, suffer from stereotypes about masculinity or femininity that could serve a bridging function towards “far-right” notions.
Mainstream German conservative parties have also criticised the booklet while their Socialist coalition partners have welcomed it.
“The initiator of this expensive waste of paper at the expense of the taxpayer is Federal Minister of Family Affairs Franziska Giffey (SPD). It exposes a universal control attitude, one known otherwise only from totalitarian systems.
“Already in the GDR and in the Nazi state, children were subjected to such a moral review and even used as informers against their own parents. Privacy and freedom of expression are the highest assets of a functioning democracy. It is by no means the task of the state and kindergartens to check the way of life or the worldview of their parents,” the AfD noted in a Facebook post.
Matthias Breitfeld, an East German dissident who spent 28 months in a GDR prison, said: “We already have conditions like in the Third Reich and in GDR times. Opinion restriction, sanctioning of opponents of the government.”
He said “spying on people, propaganda against dissenters, totally mendacious media, false reporting” were already common.
“If they had not gone so far in their crimes that people were murdered and an unspeakable war had broken out, our government would have long since set up new camps for politically dissident thinkers.
“Am I crazy? No, I sat [in prison] for 28 months as a dissident in GDR times and today have the same feelings, it is no different.”
The AAS has denied wrongdoing and is now complaining about receiving hundreds of “hate phone calls” from angry Germans.
The timing of the manual is particularly curious, because earlier this year, the president of Germany’s Teachers Association warned that schools with over 70 percent of migrant children are spiraling out of control, with attacks on female teachers and and non-Muslim children becoming more frequent.
Heinz-Peter Meidinger, President of the Teachers Association, told Bild that a story in Berlin about Muslim migrant children sending each other ISIS beheading videos was not a lone incident, but instead such cases were “spreading like wildfire”.

NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter
The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.
Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.

The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."

Arktos has distinguished itself by publishing groundbreaking philosophers and social critics. Now, the publisher's international distributor has abruptly terminated the cooperation, and more than 400 already printed titles cannot reach their audience.

We have spoken with Arktos founder Daniel Friberg about the ongoing struggle for freedom of speech in a shrinking cultural corridor.
