The secret seizure of power by left-wing extremists in Germany
German extremism expert Christian Jung has published a new book on Antifa, a result of years of meticulous research. The author shows how far the left-wing extremist scene and its activists are networked with mainstream parties, authorities and the media in Germany.

After Jung’s bestseller Der Links-Staat, which he co-authored with Torsten Groß in 2016, the new study reveals how the rot has set in, without the general public noticing this development.
The election victory of red-green in the federal election in 1998 heralded a turning point for Germany, according to Jung. Because in the new cabinet of Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, politicians were represented for the first time who came from the 1968 movement – including those who had been active in terrorist groups.
The “influence of the Communards, Maoists and communist cadre organisations reached the top of the state,” Jung points out. Together with his Foreign Minister and Vice Chancellor Joseph [Joschka] Fischer, once a street fighter and activist in the left-wing extremist organisation Revolutionärer Kampf [Revolutionary Struggle], Schröder proclaimed these individuals to be “decent” in 2001.
Since then, millions and millions of taxpayers’ money have flowed into the “fight against the right,” which, contrary to political assurances, actually benefit left-wing extremist and often violence-oriented groups, Jung argues.
Before the fall of the Wall, the GDR leadership had been the most important financier of left-wing extremism in Germany. Today, it is the German taxpayer who has to support the enemies of the state. Antifa, a beneficiary of public funding, even expanded significantly under the leadership of “bourgeois” Angela Merkel.
The group has experienced an unprecedented boom in the last 20 years and is increasingly aggressive both against the rule of law and its representatives as well as against political dissenters.
But state support is not limited only to financial support for the left-wing extremist scene. With their one-sided information policy, authorities for the protection of the constitution and criminal investigation offices of both the federal government and the federal states play down the danger that radical leftists in Germany pose.
Based on a critical analysis of the official data, Jung shows that not only the left-wing extremist potential, but also left-wing criminal and violent acts are systematically reduced or covered up by those responsible. At the same time, the criminality of the far right is being exaggerated. Even the extent of left-wing violence against police officers, who are exposed to increasingly brutal attacks by Antifa and anarchists in everyday life, is glossed over with the help of fake data, according to Jung.
Opinion journalists in the editorial offices of the mainstream media like to pick up on the falsified official statistics and, with their manipulative reporting, help to deceive the public about the real extent of the threat that left-wing extremism poses to the free and democratic basic order in Germany.
In a historical retrospective, the author shows how not only many of the former 1968 activists, but also sympathizers of the terrorist organisation, the Red Army Fraction (RAF), who emerged from the left student protest, are currently generously showered with taxpayers’ money, also in the asylum industry.
Jung reveals how they view their task primarily as preventing criminal foreigners from being deported from Germany, aided by a law on foreigners, which, under the influence of left-wing politics, has been increasingly eroded to favor of illegal migrants.
One of Jung’s particular merits is to expose the numerous cross-connections between the left parties represented in the Bundestag and the left-wing extremist scene.
Die Linke, the SPD and the Greens, have joined forces in various alliances with left-wing extremist groups and often make joint statements. Above all, Green Youth and Young Socialists make no secret of their sympathy for the left wing. Jung provides numerous well-researched examples of this in his book.
Jung also examines the case of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), to which completely different standards are applied when it comes to classifying the party as a “suspected case” of anti-constitutionalism. He explains in detail in his book how the obvious double standard is further evidence that the domestic spy service is not an independent authority, as the law requires.
After reading the fact-rich book, it should be clear to every reader that Germany has been drifting further and further to the left under Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU), and is heading towards an alliance with the left-wing extremist Greens in the federal government.
In the former East Germany, leftists are brought into the highest state offices with CDU aid. One example is the case of Barbara Borchardt, a founding member of the Antikapitalistischen Linken [the anti-capitalist left] who was elected constitutional judge in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania thanks to the support of the CDU parliamentary group.
In Thuringia, similarly, the CDU made the re-election of the radical left Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow possible. In fact, today the Christian Democrats have become the de facto drivers of the “anti-fascist united front”.

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 Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy
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."
