As the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany) grows more and more popular, the German political establishment is becoming increasingly alarmed, in much the same way that the Deep State in the USA views the popularity of Donald Trump with growing dismay.

The solution, of course, is to crack down on AfD supporters who voice their opinions on social media.

Kretschmer calls for restrictions on “new media” due to high AfD polls

Current surveys show the AfD in Saxony with 37%, ahead of the Union [CDU (national) + CSU (Bavarian)]. The incumbent CDU Minister-President Michael Kretschmer sees social media as a reason for this and is therefore calling for strict regulation of the “new media”.

The latest survey results from Saxony have caused a stir in the political landscape in Germany. With 37%, the AfD would currently be the strongest force there — even ahead of the CDU. A great danger for the incumbent Minister-President Michael Kretschmer. At a New Year’s reception on Friday, the CDU politician blamed social media, among other things, for the Alternative for Germany’s current rise. [And I’m pretty sure that he would’ve blamed the Printing Press 500+ years ago, since it’s never their own fault that people turn away from them and their LIES.]

“We do not yet have an enlightened approach to these new media,” explained Kretschmer in a speech to the Saxony Industry Club. Kretschmer sees an explanation for this in the fact that many people in Saxony no longer regularly read daily newspapers, but rather get their information via social media. He calls for stronger regulation of the “new media”. [That’s funny, the propagators of darkness calling for enlightenment. I guess that’s going to be by striking a “lucifer” and lighting the faggots for an Auto da Fe with freedom at the stake.]

CDU is preparing for state elections

The AfD’s current poll numbers should be taken “seriously,” but the situation could still be changed, explained Kretschmer. Elections will take place in Saxony in September. The tone of all parties is becoming more tense. On Friday evening, during a closed meeting in Bad Schandau, the CDU state executive committee agreed on a proposal for the state list for the state elections on September 1st. Accordingly, Minister-President and party leader Michael Kretschmer will run as the top candidate in first place on the list.

The other places planned are Culture and Tourism Minister Barbara Klepsch, Secretary General Alexander Dierks, state parliament member Susan Leithoff, parliamentary group leader Christian Hartmann, as well as state parliament members Ines Saborowski, Georg-Ludwig von Breitenbuch and Sandra Gockel. Also on the list is Minister of Education Christian Piwarz. Oliver Schenk, head of the State Chancellery, was nominated as the Saxon CDU’s top candidate for the EU elections.

The final confirmation of the CDU lists for the state elections and the European elections is to take place at a representative meeting on January 20th in Dresden. There is a possibility that there will be opposing candidacies for some places on the list.

Afterword from the translator:

Of course there will never be censorship in the “Best Germany of All Time” for those who toe the line.

I think it was Thomas Jefferson who said, and I’m paraphrasing: “Only lies need the support of state power; the truth can stand on its own.”

In normal democratic times, such statements would have been enough to be observed or checked by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

May I remind Mr. Kretschmar of Article 5. (1) of the Basic Law?

“Everyone has the right to freely express and disseminate their opinions in speech, writing and images and to obtain unhindered information from generally accessible sources. Freedom of the press and freedom of reporting through radio and film are guaranteed. A censorship does not take place.”

instead of:

“We still don’t have an enlightened way of dealing with these new media.”

Translated:

“We have no desire for freedom of expression since we can see that people are increasingly distancing themselves from our state propaganda. We are losing our ideological influence on the population. That can’t be allowed to happen.”

This type of arrogant behavior is one of the many reasons why more and more people want right-wing policies, why the AfD is becoming stronger and why their still amateurish attempts to prevent it will hopefully fail. Not because there are more and more imagined — native — Nazis in Germany, but because the left spectrum — and the CDU/CSU is now part of it — has become unelectable for people with enough remaining understanding of what is at stake, namely their LIVES of their families and their FUTURE, and the disobedient middle no longer has a problem with being unjustifiably redefined by the Left’s twisted definition of “right-wing.”

Here are a few suggestions for protection of DEMOCKERACY:

1.		A fact-checklist against “new media”.
2.		A quotation ban on irrefutable and true arguments that are considered harmful towards Demockeracy.
3.		Demockeracy training with a final test for voters is mandatory, which is to be repeated — for a fee of €50 — each year.
4.		Newly founded parties are only allowed to enter parliament after three successful elections in which they reach 100% of the votes, with one seat.
5.		Old parties are allowed to remain in parliament for a minimum of three legislative periods, even if they did not get above 5% in new elections.
6.		To protect Demockeracy, parliamentary seats of old party members are hereditary.
