Bjorn Hock and Nazi Phrases
00:04:18
|
|
| There was an election in Germany over the weekend that terrified our rulers. | |
| This headline from CNN sets the tone. | |
| AFD, that's the alternative for Germany, becomes first far-right party to win German state elections since 1945. | |
| Hmm, 1945. | |
| The article goes on. | |
| The AFD became the first far-right party to win a state election in Germany since the Nazi era. | |
| Yikes. There were elections in two states. | |
| The AFD came in first in Thuringia and second in Saxony. | |
| In another worrying development for Germany's mainstream, the fledgling Sarah-Wagenknecht alliance, BSW, a far-left party that has questioned the country's support for Ukraine and shares some of the AFD's anti-immigration streak, | |
| came third in both states, despite only being founded earlier this year. | |
| More about this remarkable woman, Sarah Wagenknecht, later. | |
| She is as confusing to our rulers as she is terrifying. | |
| CNN goes on to warn that scary people are gaining strength all over Germany. | |
| What's so awful about the AFD? | |
| Only one thing. | |
| It believes Germany should be for Germans, and that it doesn't have a moral obligation to let in millions of foreigners. | |
| The AFD is also tired of being expected constantly to apologize for a regime that ended 79 years ago. | |
| The media are especially horrified by Bjorn Hock, the leader of the AFD in Thuringia, where the party came in first. | |
| German court finds AFD's Hock over second use of Nazi slogan. | |
| Did he say, Ein Volk? | |
| Ein Reich? | |
| Ein Schürer? | |
| Or maybe... | |
| Deutschland über alles? | |
| No. Last year he said, alles für Deutschland, or everything for Germany, which was a Nazi brown shirt slogan, sometimes engraved on knife blades. | |
| However, a lot of other groups on the right and the left have used it well before and after the Nazis. | |
| Mr. Hock said he didn't know about the Nazi connection. | |
| In Germany, it's against the law to use certain phrases or to make the Nazis salute. | |
| So I suppose it was naughty of Mr. Hawk two months later to tease a friendly crowd by saying, Alles fur? | |
| When the audience completed the forbidden phrase, he was found guilty and fine. | |
| In May, we got this. | |
| Germany struck with outrage after racist chants on a jet-set holiday island. | |
| If you listen carefully, you can hear Deutschland den Deutschen, Germany for the Germans, and Auslander raus, foreigners out. | |
| Out! Out! | |
| Out! Out! | |
| Those phrases are not yet illegal, merely scandalous. | |
| What was especially horrifying was that this was at the super chic The president of Germany, | |
| Frank Walter Steinmeier, was appalled. | |
| It's not just the disenfranchised who are becoming radicalized, but that radicalization is also coming from the heart of society. | |
| So now you can understand. | |
| Why CNN imagines swastikas flying over the Bundestag. | |
| In the Thuringian Parliament, as you can see in the Seats 1 line, the AFD came in first with 32 seats, a gain of 10. The CDU, or Christian Democratic Union. | |

Germans Want Their Country Back

|
| A soft conservative party came in second with 23 seats, and the brand new leftist extremist immigration-controlled BSW of Sarah Wagenknecht came out of nowhere to pick up 15 seats. | |
| The losers are down below, and you can see the numbers for seat change. | |
| The hard left left party lost a catastrophic 17 seats. | |
| The Social Democrats, a soft left party, lost two. | |
| And the goofy liberal Greens lost all five of their seats. | |
| All the winning parties there in the top row are conservative, at least on some issues. | |
| And all the losers were lefties. | |
| Normally, the AFD, with the largest number of seats, would head up a coalition government for the state. | |
| And since it takes 45 for a majority, it could reach that number, either with the CDU's 23 seats or the BSW's 15. That's unlikely. | |
| You see, democracy is wonderful, except when people don't vote the way they're supposed to. | |
| And so the other parties have promised to treat the AFD like a leper colony. | |
| German Chancellor condemns first state election success for far-right parties since World War II. | |
| Olaf Scholz warned the other parties not to join a coalition with the AFD. | |
| Our country cannot and must not get used to this, he said. | |
| The AFD is damaging Germany. | |
| It's weakening the economy, dividing society, and ruining our country's reputation. | |
| Many Germans think it's wrong to leave the AFD out in the cold. | |
| The far-right AfD may have emerged as the biggest winner in two regional elections, but will likely end up in opposition. | |
| All mainstream parties have pledged to uphold a firewall against entering a coalition with the anti-migration party in both Thuringia and Saxony. | |
| But although a clear majority didn't cast their vote for the AfD and don't want to see it govern, some say it has a mandate to form a coalition. | |
| In certain matters, you just have to come together in the interest of democracy. | |
| The share of votes is simply too big. | |
| At some point, you have to ensure that people see their choices being reflected. | |
| I think they should be given the chance to work together with everyone. | |
| Only then can you say whether they're up to it or not. | |
| The AFD got a boost from a horrible crime. | |
| Just a week before the vote, a Syrian Muslim knifed three people to death and badly wounded eight others. | |
| This was in the city of Solingen, which was celebrating its 650th anniversary with a festival of diversity, no less. | |
| The killer is Isa al-H. | |
| We're not told his last name because that might hurt his feelings. | |
| ISIS says he had sworn allegiance to their group. | |
| Here is a makeshift memorial to the victims. | |
| The question in red, Varum, means why? | |
| The AFD says it's because Germany has let in way too many foreigners, and more and more voters agree. | |
| As this article in the European Conservative explains, Issa al-H was a failed asylum seeker. | |
| Who got a deportation order last year but stuck around anyway. | |
| No surprise. | |
| Of the nearly 250,000 people in Germany slated for deportation last year, only around 16,000 were actually deported. | |
| Germany doesn't send back Syrian or Afghan criminals because those countries are considered too dangerous. | |
| There's therefore been outrage over the fact that thousands of Afghan citizens who have claimed asylum in Germany have flown back to their home country for a holiday. | |
| And so, perfectly timed to try to demonstrate that the government is already taking action on Friday, August 30th, just before the election. | |
| It carried out the first deportation of Afghans back to their home country since August of 2021. | |
| As Jungen Freyheit reported, the German government gave all 28 of the Afghan criminals, mostly rapists, including a child rapist, the equivalent of $1,100 walking around money. | |
| The article noted that this is three times the average annual income in Afghanistan. | |
| So the word will get out, apply for asylum in Germany, rape a few women, spend a couple of years in a comfy German prison, and come home a rich man. | |
| And that's why those horrible people on the very swish island of Silt were singing Auslanderraus, foreigners out. | |
| The AFD says don't let them in in the first place. | |
| Even the federal police concede that non-Germans are statistically six times more likely to resort to knives in an attack than German citizens. | |
| And in sexual crimes, it is seven times more likely. | |
| So, what is Interior Minister Nancy Fazer going to do? | |
| Certainly not Auslander Raus. | |
| Germany announces tougher knife laws after a deadly Sonnenberg attack. | |
| Knives will be banned at sporting events, on long-distance trains, and at public gatherings like the one in Sonnenberg. | |
| Are there going to be metal detectors everywhere? | |
| Germany becomes a police state because it won't keep Auslander. | |
| But Interior Minister Nancy did attend a wreath-laying ceremony for the people Issa al-H carved up. | |
| She's in the back row on crutches, so she's doing her job. | |
| You will recall that Angela Merkel led in 1.3 million Muslims. | |
| The sign over on the right says, Merkel, help! | |
| And now, nearly one quarter of the population of Germany has what is euphemistically called a migration background. | |
| They have a dismal record of poverty, unemployment, rape, and murder. | |
| Here's another memorial to Germans killed by a Muslim immigrant. | |
| And to the horror of CNN, Germans want their country back. | |
| They deserve it. | |
| I was going to tell you about the fascinating Sarah Wagenknecht, but I've run out of time. | |
| Besides, she and what she represents deserve a video of their own. | |
| In the meantime, Deutschland den Deutschen. | |
