The Play’s the Thing

Concerning the events of the last 24 hours: the Iranian attack on Israel resembles an extravagant theatrical production. Just look at all the media hoopla about an operation that didn’t kill or seriously injure anyone.

Iran was behind the Hamas attacks last October 7. It has also been behind the recent Hezbollah attacks on northern Israel, which have driven thousands of people from their homes. Those two operations (and many others) show that the Iranians can be very effective at harming Israel when they want to.

Conclusion: the mullahs didn’t really intend to do any serious damage to Israel last night.

I’m not sure what the motivation was for all the theatre, but I’m convinced it’s theatre. Mark Steyn has reached similar conclusions. And so has Sundance at Conservative Tree House. (That last link features some plausible speculation about what’s behind the scrim.)

Everything I say here is pure speculation. I’m no expert. I don’t know what’s going on. I just know there’s more to this than meets the eye.

Whenever I encounter indications of skullduggery, the first question I ask myself is: Cui bono? In this case, the answer is not at all obvious. There are, however, some data points that are worth examining.

According to The Jerusalem Post:

Iran informed Turkey in advance of its planned operation against Israel, a Turkish diplomatic source told Reuters on Sunday, adding that Washington had conveyed to Tehran via Ankara that any action it took had to be “within certain limits.”

Turkey, which has denounced Israel for its campaign on Gaza, said earlier on Sunday that it did not want a further escalation of tensions in the region.

The Turkish source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had spoken to both his US and Iranian counterparts in the past week to discuss the planned Iranian operation, adding Ankara had been made aware of possible developments.

So the USA gave the green light for Iran to attack Israel “within certain limits”. And what might those limits have been? Based on what eventuated last night, it seems that Iran was enjoined not to cause significant Israeli casualties or do serious damage to the infrastructure of the Jewish state.

Those are pretty hard terms for a jihad-based entity like the Islamic Republic of Iran. Why would the mullahs agree to such humiliating restrictions?

After all, the Israelis did severe damage to Iranian honor by attacking that building in Damascus and killing major Iranian assets. Iran was honor-bound to mount a decisive response against Israel. They needed something to that would make faithful Muslims take to the streets all over the world, shouting with joy and handing out candy. But they also knew that if they were effective in their actions, Israel might do them significant damage. The Jewish state is quite capable of doing grievous harm to Iran. Doing so might trigger World War Three, with mushroom clouds waiting just over the horizon, but Israel can certainly nobble Iran if the situation is dire enough to require it.

Knowing all this, the State Department made Iran an offer that would allow it to salvage its international honor without ushering in Armageddon. Presumably the panjandrums at State also had enough leverage to persuade the Israelis to go along with the dirty deal.

So that’s a possible explanation for what Iran got out of the deal. What did the USA and its British mini-me get?

Culture-Enriching Knife Attack on a Little Girl in Wangen

A Syrian culture-enricher stabbed and seriously wounded a 4-year-old girl in the German town of Wangen. Because the perpetrator carried a Dutch passport, he is referred to as a “Dutchman” in many mainstream media accounts of the incident.

Syrian migrant stabs 4-year-old girl in supermarket

April 4, 2024

A foreigner stabs a little girl in broad daylight in tranquil Wangen. The 4-year-old had to undergo an emergency operation. Now further details about the attack have emerged.

Wangen. On Wednesday in Baden-Wuerttemberg, a 4-year-old girl was attacked and badly wounded by a Syrian migrant. According to what is now known, “the man suddenly attacked the 4-year-old girl and wounded her with a knife,” the police reported. The attack took place in Wangen in the district of Ravensburg.

A witness was able to disarm the attacker, who possesses a Dutch passport, and notify security forces. “The girl was immediately operated on and is now in stable condition,” the police state. According to initial findings by the investigators, there is no prior relationship between the child, who was with her mother, and the migrant.

Mayor shocked

The attacker was to be brought before a judge on Thursday. Whether the man was already known to police in Germany, a police spokeswoman, in response to an inquiry by Junge Freiheit, could not yet say.

Mayor Michael Lang was shocked. “That a child is suddenly attacked is something that shocks us all and leaves us unbelievably affected and dismayed.” The independent politician says that he knows the family of the victim. About 25,000 residents live in Wangen.

Whose Face Will Be on the Trillion-Dollar Bill?

Some of the things that President Biden and the Democrat Party have been doing over the past few months are pretty bizarre, considering that this is an election year.

Hispanics and even blacks are shifting away from the Democrats. Young people — the parti-colored Zoomer TikTok generation — are increasingly drawn towards Donald Trump. The way things are going, there won’t be enough dump trucks available to haul in the “found” ballots required to put Joe Biden over the top on the night of November 5th. The Democrats are virtuosos at rigging elections, but even in the dystopian twilight of 21st-century America, elections can only be stolen at the margin. The race has to be at least somewhat close in order to pull off an effective steal.

The Democrat apparat seems utterly unconcerned with making sure the race is a tight one. One unpopular policy after another is being pushed — open borders, criminals released without bail, the promotion of sexual perversion, the war against the internal combustion engine, uniformed soldiers with pink hair mincing around in high heels…

And, to top it all off, there was the “Transgender Day of Visibility” on Easter Sunday. Don’t they even want to win the election?

Well, maybe they really don’t.

I’d been thinking along those lines for a while, and then last week I happened to read something similar at ZeroHedge, an essay saying that they’re going to let Trump win.

These are the key paragraphs:

Let Trump back in, and fight him on home turf — in the maze of the executive bureaucracy. Some of his backers have announced their intention to become politically competent in the event that he wins — but compared to the alternatives, that’s a very manageable risk.

More importantly: let Trump hold the bag for the all-but-guaranteed economic calamity of the next four years. The regime could skate for another decade if they succeed in pinning the collapse on a dangerous, erratic right-wing upstart. [emphasis added]

Everything I say here tonight is pure speculation. I’m not an expert on any of these matters, and especially not on financial issues. I’m just a reasonably well-informed layperson who reads a lot of information from diverse points of view.

It’s undeniable that the country is headed towards some form of fiscal calamity. As I mentioned last month, money-printing is being taken to new extremes:

I swore off making specific predictions after the previous great fiscal crisis in 2009, when my prognostications were so completely wrong. I never would have thought they could keep the racket going for another fifteen years, but here we are. The Powers That Be have managed to do a lot with derivatives and real estate bubbles.

But the debt graph can’t keep going up with a steadily increasing slope — it just can’t. Someday the pyramid scheme will come crashing down, and the chickens will come home to roost. Based on the current debt acceleration, it won’t be much longer. It might take a week; it might take a decade. But the chickens will be roosting relatively soon.

The thing is, the people who keep the Ponzi scheme afloat know exactly what’s coming. They know the money-printing tactic will eventually stop working. It’s a complex process, what with cryptocurrencies, CBDCs, derivatives, paper and digital “futures” of precious metals, and now the BRICS alternatives. Keeping those plates spinning must surely be a tricky business.

And the people in charge know that a collapse of the dollar will eventually come. In order enrich themselves fully, and assure themselves an unbroken hold on the levers of power, they will need to time the crisis carefully. At exactly the right moment they will topple the pillars supporting the dollar-based economy, after having thoroughly prepared the replacement system that will be built on the smoking ruins of the old one.

So which patsy will be nominally in charge when the house of cards comes tumbling down? Who will preside over the Great Collapse?

Whose face will be on the Zimbabwe-style trillion-dollar bill?

For a long time I thought Brandon was being set up as the fall guy. He was always obviously a disposable president, a non-re-electable senile geezer who could be pushed aside when he was no longer needed. The people who crafted his policies and wrote his speeches clearly didn’t try to make him more popular. I assumed that when the time was right, he would be gently eased out (and Kamala, too, although that part would be tricky), and a substitute such as Gavin Newsom or Big Mike installed to run in 2024, someone who was at least plausible enough that the election could be rigged on his behalf.

But it never happened. And the scripts that Brandon has been following have been so damaging to him that it’s obvious that his handlers don’t really want him to win re-election. It is intended that he go down in flames, taking the Democrat Party with him.

Goodbye, Cruel World!

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this essay from Politically Incorrect:

Is there a risk of German mass suicide after Putin’s victory?

by Wolfgang Hübner

Petra Gerster was a presenter on the Böhmermann channel on ZDF for many years. She has been retired since 2021 and is now approaching her 70th year, as blonde as ever. Since there is a strange view in Germany that talking dolls who present the news also understand something about world politics, Gerster, who comes from a CDU political family, was recently able to make the following statement at the “Sunday regulars’ table” on BR (Bavarian Broadcast) television: “Personally, I am more afraid that Putin will win the war than detonating the atomic bomb.”

The Bambi award winner has not only proven that she is always available for the increasing war preparation activities of her regular station. With these words she also highly recommended herself for membership in the “Putin Bäh!” association of Strack-Zimmermann, Hofreiter, Kiesewetter and Baerbock.

So there are still real tasks and challenges waiting for the older ZDF lady. And if the detonation of an atomic bomb by Vladimir near Gerster were to actually prevent all of this, it no longer presents a frightening prospect for her at her advanced age.

But what will Gerster do if Putin wins the war? What then will all of those do who placed such expensive bets on his defeat at taxpayer expense?

Will there then be desperate mass suicides again in Germany, like in those unfortunate weeks and months of Nazi Armageddon in the spring of 1945? Will we then be robbed of valuable members of our Western elite and somehow have to deal with the Moscow beast on our own? Frightening questions!

Boy vs. Man

This is a little exercise in compare-and-contrast. A lot more could be said on the topic (two topics, actually), but we’ll start with this simple comparison.

First, French President Emmanuel “Toy Boy” Macron, who really, really seems to want a direct military confrontation with Russia. From Sky News:

Europe should prepare for war if it wants peace, French President Emmanuel Macron has said.

In an interview on French national television, Mr Macron said Vladimir Putin’s Russia was an adversary that would not stop in Ukraine if it defeated Kyiv’s troops.

“If Russia wins this war, Europe’s credibility will be reduced to zero,” Mr Macron said.

He added: “If war spread in Europe, Russia would be to blame.

“But if we decided to be weak, if we decided today that we would not respond, it would be choosing defeat already. And I don’t want that.”

He went on to say Europe’s security was “at stake in Ukraine”.

Mr Macron said it was important for Europe not to draw red lines, which would signal weakness to the Kremlin and encourage it to push on with its invasion of Ukraine.

But he refused to give detail on what a deployment to Ukraine might look like.

Mr Macron also reiterated his position on sending Western troops into Ukraine should not be ruled out but added that today’s situation did not require that.

“We’re not in that situation today,” he said, but added that “all these options are possible”.

Europe’s security is “at stake in Ukraine” only in the sense that interfering with what Russia considers its existential security issues is VERY bad for the security of the EU.

Time was, European political leaders (think: Bismarck) had a very well-developed sense of Realpolitik, of what was possible, and what might be accomplished within the constraints posed by the strengths and weaknesses of the competing great powers. But nothing remotely like that is in evidence today. Western leaders seem to fall all over themselves to strike a match next to the pool of gasoline that the Ukraine war represents.

There is a lot of speculation about why Mr. Macron is engaging in this flagrantly inflammatory rhetoric. One theory holds that he (and other EU leaders) are aware that the USA is about to cut its losses and bail on Ukraine, leaving the Europeans holding the bag. The collapse of the Ukrainian project will have devastating political consequences for the European Union, the full ramifications of which are not yet visible.

OK, that was the boy. Now consider one of the few adults on the European political scene.

The following report gives a representative account of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán from the point of view of the Western establishment — specifically, the media component of the Deep State known as The Washington Post. For many years I have assiduously avoided reading the WaPo, but I suppressed my gag reflex long enough to read this article in order to get an idea of the Conventional Wisdom on Mr. Orbán.

German Comedian Says: Bash the Fash!

It seems the German establishment is moving closer to a ban on the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany). A regime toady in the media is encouraging violence against “right-wing extremists” — a necessary step in the direction of a full ban on the party. Demonize first, then attack, and finally outlaw it: that’s the game plan.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from the online news portal Nius. The translator’s comments are in square brackets:

Kerkeling uses children’s films to glorify violence against right-wingers: “Ready to fight! You can’t end fascism through discussion!”

He wrote “I’ll be off then” and is afraid of “He’s back”!

In an interview with the news portal t-online, the German comedian Hape Kerkeling speaks of his fear that the AfD would turn Germany into a “dictatorship” after an election victory and thinks out loud about the fact that, beyond words and arguments, people “must be ready to fight.”

Kerkeling wants to ban the AfD

Kerkeling advocates banning the AfD as a lesson from history: “It should be avoidable today to allow the right to come to power in the first place. All I hear is that it would be too risky to ban this party. I find this argument to be downright grotesque. We have a basic law and that is clear. The legislature wanted to prevent the Federal Republic of Germany from ever becoming a dictatorship again. We are now faced with the problem, with the real possibility that Germany will become a dictatorship and within a very short period of time. The situation has never been so risky. Why don’t we try to ban the party?”

Given the rise of Alice Weidel’s AfD, Kerkeling sees the “real possibility” that Germany will become a dictatorship. [Says one that has been part and parcel of establishing another socialist dictatorship in Germany. Shows you again that these people that live close by the manger have only their own overflowing feeding frenzy trough at heart.]

Kerkeling does not differentiate between right-wing and right-wing extremists; he consistently speaks of “right-wingers,” which he would also fight against: “Because that is the enemy that can be identified most clearly at the moment. So defensive force used judiciously would be directed against them.” [Well, haven’t they already established their own brand of violent brown-shirts for decades and call them “Anti-fascists” to gull the gullible?]

There would be “fundamental truths and values” in Germany that everyone would have agreed on. “That must always be the basis of our society. I can no longer reach anyone who strays from this with rhetoric. But there are other means, tried and tested means. History has shown what the effective means are. In any case, I can’t remember fascism ever being ended through discussion.” [Then I would advise him to do us all a favour and blow his “brain” out in front of a mirror if he wants to kill fascists.]

Inflection Point: Biden Administration Must Pander to the Muslim Vote

The following report by Clare Lopez was published earlier this month by Sharia TipSheet.

Inflection Point: Biden Administration Must Pander to the Muslim Vote

by Clare M. Lopez

Topping the list this month has to be the Biden administration’s desperate outreach to Michigan Muslims in a must-win state it fears he may lose over his support of Israel. In early February 2024, Biden’s White House sent a clutch of senior officials to Michigan to listen to the foreign policy demands of Muslim voters there. No evidence the Biden admin’s groveling swayed any of Michigan’s Muslim electorate, but its shameful public appeasement certainly showed our ally Israel — and the rest of the world, friends and enemies alike — what its pledges of friendship really mean.

  • [Editor’s Note — A former French President expressed support for Israel, but retracted it after one of his ministers pointed out the fact that France has a lot of Muslim residents and expressing support for Israel was no longer smart as a matter of domestic politics. It appears the Democrat Party in the U.S. has reached the same inflection point.]

A Letter to the Cousins

Our English correspondent Seneca III addresses his latest remarks to his American cousins.

A Letter to the Cousins

by Seneca III

On this side of the pond and then on over the ditch to Europe, there is increasing chaos. The political classes, the academics and the politicians we have elected are scrambling around and promoting this DEI excrement which has turned so much of our national socio-economic landscapes into moral wildernesses by selling out to these ‘new citizens’, the so called ‘immigrants’ and ‘refugees’ who are in fact illegally-entered black and brown criminals (mostly Muslim) from every failed country on earth. They are slowly and violently taking over the streets, public spaces and public transport across the continent.

Stabbings, street robberies, rape gangs and shootings are now an unwelcome integral part of our way of life, and parts of several major cities such as Londonistan, which is now minority white, are infested with dangerous no-go areas unsafe even in daylight. At night they become war zones where different factions, races and gangs fight it out for control. Europe, with a couple of notable exceptions, is much the same.

In Aberdeen, Shell’s headquarters were targeted today with orange paint as Just Stop Oil activists claimed responsibility. They seem not to understand that the Universe, even if only to the extent of the thirteen-billion-year time/distance limited horizons we can presently observe, is huge beyond our comprehension. It is deep, complicated, profoundly mysterious and interconnected in ways we do not yet understand… if we ever will. That Extinction Rebellion and its various analogues should presume to tell us how it works on our cosmological microscale and that we are responsible for perfectly natural events smacks of the destructive knee-jerk response of simple-minded children.

We still do not know if solar activity and climate are constructive partners or destructive antagonists, for our collective life span is too short compared with that of Mother Sun. Homo sapiens sapiens still has a long way to go to complete its evolution into Homo solaris and even further to Homo stellaris, but one wonders how those far-distant descendants of ours will look back and view the twitterings of these gullible drones so taken in by the great global warming/carbon tax scam.

With much time on my hands these days, this redneck from over the pond has used it to keep a beady eye on you guys and I have a subliminal feeling that a major geopolitical sea change is underway over there. It’s hard to pin down amidst the furore surrounding Trump, the November presidential election and what will happen after, but there are some clues to be found in these snippets I have picked up during my interweb meanderings:

Importing Islam Means Importing Violence

An earlier version of this essay by Fjordman was first published in Norwegian at the website Document.no.

Importing Islam Means Importing Violence

by Fjordman

In February 2024, Norway’s public broadcaster NRK reported that rape centers all over Norway record more rape victims seeking aid. In the city of Oslo, the number has increased by 70 per cent in ten years.[1] Many of these rape cases are said to be very serious.

What does NRK suggest is the reason for this massive increase in rapes? Porn. The channel published an article about rapes in which immigration was not mentioned as a possible explanation. This despite a proven link between immigration and rape that exists in neighboring Sweden as well as other countries.

This is simply not credible.[2] It is misleading propaganda.

Norwegians are forced to pay billions of kroner annually to the country’s largest media company, which is actively trying to obfuscate why an increasing number of Norwegians are exposed to violent abuse in their own country.

The mass immigration that established mass media, including the state broadcaster, has supported for decades imports violent crime. This is a demonstrable fact.

NRK also reports in 2024 that so-called honor crimes, forced marriages and threats of honor killings have become part of everyday life all over Norway, not just in major cities.[3]

Forced marriages and honor killings were extremely rare phenomena in Scandinavia fifty years ago, if they existed at all. Muslims from Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, and Somalia top the statistics for these crimes. The current problem is therefore overwhelmingly due to immigration.

In multiple Western countries, serious violence continues spreading as society becomes more ethnically diverse and multicultural. Women and men of all ages may be affected by violent crime in the streets, at schools, in public transport, or elsewhere.

My first significant, public text about Islam was published in Norwegian under my real name — Peder Jensen — in the national newspaper VG in August of 2003. At that time I had just moved to Oslo after studying and working for a couple of years in the Middle East.[4]

The driving force behind my career as a writer was a desire to warn against the great danger I saw from importing Islam to Europe.

The ‘High IQ’ of Murder

Our Israeli correspondent MC sends an update on Sderot, plus his thoughts on the larger issues.

The ‘High IQ’ of Murder

by MC

Nazism is a political meme which has been securely packaged up and filed under ‘Far Right: Conservative’, and is wheeled out whenever the left wants to shut down debate or dialogue or sling the ‘racist’ epithet against their opponents.

But whilst conservatives may want to preserve cultural integrity and Judeo-Christianity in particular, they have not generally indulged in mass murder and slavery as have the Left.

This ‘right-wing’ filing is wrong, but has caused mayhem for the last 70 years. It is a superlative opportunity for projection and, as conservatives nearly always fall for it, too, it has become a major suppressor of conservative cultural policy.

Nazism was a byproduct of the failure of Marxism. The (Marxist) proletariat did not rise up and take over the means of production as predicted, and the communist aficionados became impatient. Lenin decided that a top-down revolution was better than Marxian bottom-up ‘pie in the sky’.

Mussolini, on the other hand, as the leader of the Italian Communists, decided that communism could be achieved without a revolution,

At this point Marx/Leninism and Marx/Mussoliniism were moving in similar directions.

Marx/Mussoliniism was renamed ‘Fascism’ (after the fascia, the bundle of sticks wrapped around a Roman spear a symbol of Roman power). The only fundamental difference between the two was that fascism was not interested in state ownership so much as state control.

But there was nothing new here. Social paganism is thousands of years old, but by jiggling with names, these new ‘pagan’ philosophies became chic, and were adopted by elites in the anglosphere and elsewhere. They were particularly popular amongst academics and those who thought themselves as of slightly higher IQ than average, and thus ‘better’ people.

As the world fell under their ‘might is right’ pall, and their ‘ends justify the means’ politics, people began to die in large numbers. Once again, slavery became commonplace as great civil projects were undertaken, hailed as a ‘cure’ for the recession, dams and canals were built, highways and other infrastructure erected, and treasuries drained. In Germany it was decided that the treasury issues could only be tackled by expansion: Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland; WAR.

And with it, an opportunity for continental Europe to tackle that age-old ‘Jewish problem’.

But there was nothing new in this evolution of evil. Islam had preceded it by over a thousand years, following almost the same path to a might-is-right/ends-justify-the-means-based political religion. Back in the deep history of Islam, even more people were slaughtered and even more enslaved and even they had their own ‘Jewish problem’.

People hated Jews, and especially their economic dependence on Jews. Jews handled much of the finance and technical trades of Islam, and had to be kept alive, but in the virtual slavery of dhimmitude. Rank in Islam was denoted by headgear: the bigger the hat, the more important the person, and Jews were subject to both height and headgear restrictions. The kippah was the designated headgear for those captive Jews.

The Nazis’ ‘final solution’ also involved Jews being kept alive as captive (slave) workers in vital industries.

In modern times, these streams of communism, Fascism and Islam come together under the banner of Wokism.

Islam: Abolition of Civilisation, Part II

Our Indian correspondent The Kafir sends this follow-up to last week’s essay about Islam.

Islam: Abolition of Civilisation (Part II)

by The Kafir

In the year 1988, Salman Rushdie’s novel The Satanic Verses was published. Khomeini issued the fatwa. Salman Rushdie was a British citizen. The UK government immediately forced him into hiding, with heavy police protection. The UK had its Muslims. There was no way to know who among them might kill Rushdie. A mob could have come and lynched him. The British knew all this.

If the British knew all this, one might expect they would figure out all the logical things which followed from the affair: Muslims do not respect the West’s concept of free speech, there is no way to find out which Muslim is a potential killer of a blasphemer, and Muslims become mobs for the most outrageous of causes. Therefore, if the UK wanted to keep its free speech rights, it needed to stop Muslim immigration.

In fact, this should have been done by all the Western countries. Instead they opened the gates wider. They even encouraged Muslim immigration, legal and illegal. For example, Tony Blair. And Angela Merkel.


How did the West reach this point? The times when the elites of the most educated, advanced, prosperous, and happy countries of the West want to destroy the countries they are ruling? And the citizenry seem to be just clapping along?

The answer is that in the nineteenth century a man was born named Karl Marx. He confused the masses, and he frightened the elites. He misunderstood the source of wealth, let the masses loose on the elite, and they started making compromises, and now know nothing except making compromises, with anybody who threatens violence.


Burnham understood that Marxism/Communism/Leftism was also the abolition of morality: ‘“Dialectical logic.” Is simply a devise that declares “whatever serves the interest of communist power is true.” (Burnham quoted in the introduction to Suicide of The West, written by Roger Kimball [page 11, Kindle edition]). And the liberals ruling the West are Marxists lite. They know no absolute morality. It is all relative for them. Therefore, they now have different moral laws for different sections of society.

They started with the industrial workers. According to the leftists, the industrial workers are an exploited lot; therefore they are entitled to use violence. Normal laws of morality do not apply to them. They can picket the industrial plant, can wreck it, can even kill the owners. Because they are exploited. The ruling elites gave in. Perhaps they were afraid that if the workers were not allowed to burn down the industrial plant, they might march to parliament building and burn it instead. This was the first exemption from the moral laws granted by the civilized, and it has been downhill ever since. It led to the destruction of industrial plants in the West and rise of the Dependency Class. Work has this profound magical quality that it creates character in the men doing it. Without work, on welfare, Western people lost that character. Word also got around that being a ‘victim’ or ‘oppressed’ gives one exemption from the moral laws. Liberals began manufacturing ‘victim classes’, and people happily joined, because, well, who wants to be burdened with the morality?

Brave New Pedagogy in Schleswig-Holstein

For a quick peek into the German campus of the Brave New World, check out this post from the website of the “the state representative for political education” in Schleswig-Holstein. Many thanks to Hellequin GB for the translation:

Workshops for school classes

In the workshops “Crime Scene Social Networks: Conspiracy myths and fake news on the Internet” we want to sensitize young people to fake news and conspiracy myths and teach them how to deal with them confidently. Together with the journalist and blogger Carsten Janz, students discuss how conspiracy stories work and how you can deal with them and fake news.

The project is scheduled to last two years and includes 76 school workshops and four teacher training courses. The call for proposals for the workshops in the second half of the 2023/2024 school year is currently running.

Afterword from the translator:

This looks to me like trust in the established media and state institutions has sunk so low that in their desperation they are pulling out all the stops and giving up all restraint. They want to bombard students with courses and “learning materials” designed to condition them to believe what politicians and mainstream media say, and to dismiss doubters as “conspiracy theorists”. Why do I have the feeling that those pupils who successfully complete this course will raise their right arm and shout “Sieg Heil” at the “graduation” ceremony?
