Video transcript:
00:00 | Yes, Mrs. Merkel has invited all of them; one cannot really | |
00:04 | blame these people, because in September 2015 | |
00:08 | she delivered her big Selfie Show with “refugees” and has | |
00:12 | drummed into us all “Yes, we can do it”, then we were drowned in | |
00:16 | “Welcoming Culture”; we had to immediately develop a new “Welcoming Culture”, | |
00:20 | although if one talks about asylum and refugees, | |
00:24 | one is talking about a temporary protection. | |
00:28 | All of this did not interest Mrs. Merkel, and to | |
00:33 | get to the point: Of course, Mrs. Merkel | |
00:37 | will remain as Chancellor of Germany, remain in power and continue her course of extermination, | |
00:41 | and it does not matter at all who will be her coalition | |
00:45 | Partner. Maybe we’ll get the chance that it will not be the Social Democrats yet again, | |
00:49 | but politically nothing will change, because Mrs. Merkel | |
00:53 | is not interested politically in the welfare of the German People, | |
00:57 | because Mrs. Merkel is, I’m convinced of it, | |
01:02 | exclusively an egotist; for selfish motives she pursues | |
01:06 | her policy. You have to imagine, | |
01:10 | this woman has no substance whatsoever; | |
01:14 | this woman is an AVERAGE woman. I have never | |
01:18 | heard one intelligent speech from this woman, or any profound | |
01:22 | thought, she delivers such a housewife stammer, | |
01:26 | to the most simplified questions. | |
01:31 | No critical journalists are admitted any longer to her press conferences, | |
01:35 | and this Frau, with her | |
01:39 | disturbed psyche, that is | |
01:43 | when you see Frau Merkel, you see a narcissistically disturbed personality, | |
01:47 | a relationship-challenged personality who | |
01:51 | uses politics to satisfy the hunger of her soul. | |
01:56 | It is unbelievable that a people like the Germans — after all, | |
02:00 | we once were the “Poets and Thinkers” — | |
02:04 | that this people is led around by the nose | |
02:08 | by this matron from the Uckermark. In fact, | |
02:12 | Frau Merkel does not interest me any more already; I’m interested | |
02:16 | in how it can be that a people can — so completely | |
02:20 | without any resistance — be disempowered, | |
02:24 | subdued, controlled, | |
02:28 | and why is there no revolt at all? Except for | |
02:33 | PEGIDA, which, at its height, had an event | |
02:37 | with 40,000 people in attendance, I have never seen any perceptible | |
02:41 | Resistance, and even the Alternative für Deutschland, | |
02:45 | this party, too, has been infiltrated from the inside, | |
02:49 | and is being so undermined from the inside that they, too, | |
02:53 | cannot become a real power. | |
02:57 | And Germany is clearly lacking in personalities | |
03:01 | such as Viktor Orbán, who have the courage | |
03:06 | to separate from these emotional | |
03:10 | individual fates, these emotional little pictures | |
03:14 | which are always used to connect it to the big picture, | |
03:18 | who can separate themselves from their emotions and have the courage | |
03:22 | to make clear and even brutal decisions, | |
03:26 | who could lead to a radical change of politics in Germany. | |
03:30 | Unfortunately, this is nowhere to be seen, because this people, | |
03:34 | — but not only this, but the Germans especially — | |
03:38 | are stuck in the co-dependency trap. These people are so | |
03:42 | manipulated and indoctrinated. We see | |
03:47 | in these Western societies such a pronounced narcissism that we | |
03:51 | can no longer advance with rational arguments, with logic, | |
03:55 | with argument, with political debate | |
03:59 | as it once existed in a democracy. | |
04:03 | What is amazing is that on one side the Germans | |
04:07 | accept that they will spend lots of money to welcome | |
04:11 | migrants, with the difficulties | |
04:15 | that this brings with it, for example the incidents in Cologne | |
04:20 | and a whole series of terrorist attacks | |
04:24 | in Germany; how do you explain | |
04:28 | that at the same time as this open-borders policy, the Germans accept | |
04:32 | that Madame Merkel is completely inflexible on the question | |
04:36 | of Greece’s debt, with | |
04:40 | the policy of austerity, which provokes sanitary catastrophes, | |
04:44 | which has seen an increase in infant mortality, how do you explain | |
04:48 | that on one side the Germans accept opening the borders and spending money to welcome Afghans, | |
04:53 | Syrians, and everybody… from the whole world, | |
04:57 | yet they accept the situation in Greece. Yes, | |
05:01 | that confirms the diagnosis | |
05:05 | of the Germans, that it is | |
05:09 | a collectivist, co-dependent, narcissistic | |
05:13 | community. We accept; | |
05:17 | we don’t revolt when there are | |
05:21 | 1,276 criminal charges for | |
05:26 | sexual assault, attacks, rape etc. | |
05:30 | that happened on the previous | |
05:34 | New Year’s Eve. There was no outcry, there was only | |
05:38 | a little demonstrationlet, which was then also | |
05:42 | infiltrated from the inside. In addition we read daily — | |
05:46 | even our newspapers cannot completely conceal it — | |
05:50 | that in public swimming pools, physical harassment, sexual rapes, | |
05:55 | murders, stabbings etc. are perpetrated. I have just returned from Karlsruhe. | |
05:59 | I participated in a demonstration, there, before the Federal Constitutional Court, one read out | |
06:03 | the list of murder victims for a year and a half. | |
06:07 | I must say, for someone who still has any feeling remaining, | |
06:11 | that is hard to endure, | |
06:15 | that unbelievable wave of violence sweeping over this country. | |
06:19 | And then we are told again and again: well we must be tolerant, | |
06:23 | respectful, we have to express our Welcoming Culture | |
06:27 | towards these savages from the Islamic arc of Africa | |
06:32 | and from the Middle East. | |
06:36 | We must be friendly; we offer | |
06:40 | them the finest houses. In Hamburg they are just now | |
06:44 | building an elegant residential area for those so-called “refugees”. | |
06:48 | And we accept all this. We have long | |
06:52 | accepted the violence in our daily lives; we have accepted that we are slaving for this | |
06:57 | super-state: for more than half of the year, | |
07:01 | a German works exclusively for the State and this voracious state monster. | |
07:05 | And only after half a year does | |
07:09 | a German begin to generate an income for himself. | |
07:13 | And all this, the Germans swallow and don’t say squat, | |
07:17 | because they are so terribly afraid of thoughts, of words; | |
07:22 | they are so terribly afraid of being called “racist” | |
07:26 | or denigrated as Nazis. The fear of these words is bigger | |
07:30 | than the fear of one’s own child being abducted, or | |
07:34 | being thrown down the stairs or under a train in the subway, | |
07:38 | or something else. What we see is totally irrational. | |
07:42 | And of course we are seeing this bigotry of | |
07:46 | German politics: on one hand we are to greet total strangers, | |
07:51 | totally foreign to our culture, people who come from a “no trust” | |
07:55 | culture, from clan societies, who have grown up within | |
07:59 | familyism (incest?); those we are to welcome here with open arms. | |
08:03 | Yet about our Greek, European, our | |
08:07 | “EU neighbours”, we do not care at all. We save their banks, | |
08:11 | but how the Greeks themselves do in their daily lives — | |
08:15 | no-one is interested in that. This politics is totally hypocritical, | |
08:19 | and that is also the reason why the EU has failed completely. | |
08:23 | The EU is faced with these problems and is totally unable to | |
08:28 | solve these massive problems, but they manage to | |
08:32 | define the length of pacifier chains. That’s very nice. | |
08:36 | I’m sorry, but I cannot help but answer such a question cynically. | |
08:40 | So you gave an interview | |
08:44 | to Polish media, which was very successful and has been viewed very much in Poland, | |
08:48 | and in which you had a rather original idea to rebuild the | |
08:53 | Iron Curtain, but this time rather to protect Central Europe | |
08:57 | from Western Europe. | |
09:01 | Is this a serious idea, or do you | |
09:05 | really think that Western Europe is doomed, or can you see | |
09:09 | possible solutions to the crises it is currently experiencing? | |
09:13 | This idea, of course, is very sensationally | |
09:17 | presented, but I’m deadly serious, I mean that very seriously. | |
09:21 | The former Eastern bloc should, as soon as possible | |
09:26 | rebuild this Iron Curtain and with “iron” I do mean “iron” | |
09:30 | I mean the way Victor Orbán does it, how he | |
09:34 | secures his territory; that is, at every smallest green border, | |
09:38 | there are big iron walls, which in an emergency are pulled | |
09:42 | together; there is a lock that means this border is also | |
09:46 | physically closed. And that is exactly what they need. | |
09:51 | the Eastern European countries need this if there is | |
09:55 | anything to be saved of the Europe that we know, with all our | |
09:59 | values, if we want to conserve something of this, then I see | |
10:03 | this only in the East. I believe that the West has long since been lost, | |
10:07 | it is also morally so depleted. | |
10:11 | We have nothing left that we want to defend. | |
10:15 | There is no will to defend; there is only this collective | |
10:20 | suicidal madness. | |
10:24 | The people hang onto illusions | |
10:28 | and do not care at all about the | |
10:32 | future, not even about the future of their children. | |
10:37 | That is such a lack of empathy that we see here, and this has also to do | |
10:41 | with the loss of spirituality that we see here in the West. And in Eastern Europe | |
10:45 | it’s still different. For example in Poland, Catholicism | |
10:49 | is still anchored very strongly, and also patriotism of a sort | |
10:53 | that is unimaginable here. | |
10:57 | And I therefore believe that… | |
11:01 | secession does not work with in Germany. I once already suggested that | |
11:05 | Saxony should separate from the Federal Republic; Bavaria should leave it. | |
11:09 | All this doesn’t work, Germany also will not be divided again. | |
11:14 | We here, East Germany will perhaps become the future buffer zone | |
11:18 | against the fully maddened West. | |

I can attest to it – have visited Germany recently, and after multiple exchanges with colleagues-Germans I left with the same feeling: the welcome-culture and all the suicidal madness is driven largely by their deep guilt of the past when their nation failed to recognize Hitler’s “true colors” and caused that terrible war and Holocaust.
“We do not want anybody to call us Nazis any longer” to sum up my learning …
Someone needs to tell them that they’re failing again….
She would have made Czech nationalists of the 19th century quite happy, because she confirms that the Germans are a collective-narcisisstic bunch of people 😉
This is the most depressing post I’ve read on G of V. Festerling has a first rate intelligence, thoroughly understands the mindset of her people and is totally without hope. Devastating.
Her idea about building a wall between Central/Eastern Europe and leaving Western Europe to its fate has a lot of merit.
Of course, the problem with doing so is that would create some level of temptation for Russia to push its influence back into Central/Eastern Europe. I think that Putin is much more savvy than his Soviet forbearers, and I think he would use a softer touch this time around.
There is no evidence that Russia has territorial ambitions. The world needs to concern itself with the U.S., France, Britain, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Jordan, and the Gulf States pushing their influence not Russians pushing theirs.
The Russians are not responsible for over 400,000 deaths and millions of refugees in Syria.
Col-
You make a lot of good points. I was probably giving the old Soviet baggage too much weight.
I concur that the West’s invade/invite strategy has been a horrific waste for everyone involved – the oppressors and the victims.
I was amazed by what I read in The Gulag Archipelago. I was never the same man after reading about the inhuman Soviet Union. Even now there are otherwise sensible people who think that the fall of the Soviet Union was a deception operation.
I, however, think there was a genuine transformation and the current anti-Russian hysteria is dishonest and just amazing to behold. Putin stands out as an amazing leader.
None of this is meant to apply to you.
** You have to imagine, this woman has no substance whatsoever; this woman is an AVERAGE woman. **
Forgive the repetition but I’ve said before that Merkel is the mistress of mashed-potato speak. Debbie Waspherman-Shoots is good at this as well. It’s difficult to pin either one down.
George Romney, Mitt’s father, ran for president once and got tagged for vague rhetoric. He was 100% for the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. This was shortened by the press, of course, to BOMFOG. Merkel seems impervious to ridicule, if any exists in the Fourth Reich.
Merkel represents a vague, juvenile compassion that fits Thomas Paine’s observation perfectly:
That said, given the enormous disparity between the generosity displayed to primitives and to the German people, it’s clear that it’s not generosity that is the issue but uninstalled malevolence.
The give away to Merkel’s character are the bags under her eyes in recent videos. She is reaching Sorosian levels of undereye dark circles.
I believe that this physical manifestation of ugliness and decay is tied to the fact that, in her heart of hearts, Merkel knows what she is doing to her kith and kin is reprehensibly evil.
I believe we are all born with a conscience that only demented people can deny. The immense tragedy of our time is that so many people are committed to a great crime across the board. Who dissents? A few. How did this come about? What caused this odd death of conscience?
It is my long held opinion that there has been a paradigm shift in morality.
Where once the conscience of an upright human was troubled when causing injury, let alone death, to others, there is now fostered, in very many ways, the widespread belief that if large numbers die then the humanity that remains will have that many more scant resources with which to sustain itself longer.
Bottom line: Once the concept of the sanctity of human life has been sufficiently supplanted at the highest levels of governance with the concept that those in authority must plan for the survival of all humanity, then the conscience of which you speak has been redirected into one that is self-satisfied that it is doing what needs be done.
And any who still retain an old fashioned conscience need to be expunged.
Distilled!
So yo think she is the only non-narcist German?
What substantial has she ever acomplished that she dares to judge the rest of us this way? Who is the real narcist here?
