Targeted sex mobs: this is how Putin plans to topple Merkel
December 12, 2016
The German Foreign Ministry is dealing with a new danger.
A high ranking official of the German security service warned that Moscow plans to sabotage the election for the Bundestag in 2017: “We will see an exertion of influence like we have never seen before.”
It is still in question how exactly Putin & Co. want to exert influence. Currently, there are several theories:
- The leaking of classified documents (as in the US elections)
- targeted spreading of false rumours (“rape case” Lisa)
- planting sex mob refugees
Gustav Gressel, an expert on Russia from the European Council on Foreign Relations, explained in the Bild newspaper: “A part of the refugees from Iraq and Syria, even if just a very small part, had connections to Assad’s or Saddam Hussein’s secret services.” These could now be used for heckling, Gressel is concerned.
“What, for example, would happen, if at a summer festival before the elections something similar like the Silvester night of Cologne repeats? How would this make Merkel look? What were the consequences for the Bundestag election? Of course this is an extreme example, but it is within the realm of possibility”, Gressel warns.
This satirical piece from Der Postillon, also translated by Egri Nök, fits right in:
