| The "Coup" in Germany |
| 2022-12-21 |
| It was the coup attempt that rocked the world. In the morning of December 7, 2022, 3,000 members of the German police armed and clad in tactical gear descended on 50 homes in Germany, Austria and Italy, and arrested 25 people accused of plotting to overthrow the government. This was the largest police operation ever in Germany. A moment that will forever be captured in history books—from multiple high-resolution angles—thanks to the German media, whom, according to a far-left politician, the government courteously informed of the secret operation two weeks prior (to give you a sense of the priorities) (source: antifascist politician Martina Renner, n-tv.de "Die Razzia wirkt wie eine PR-Aktion"). Just like that, an imperial government-in-waiting was exposed to the world. Many already know about the eccentric leader Prince Heinrich XIII (age 71), but he was just the tip of the bratwurst. An organizational chart published in BILD reveals the names and functions of key lieutenants and advisors, including Frank Heppner (age 62), a restaurant owner chosen by the plotters to oversee the Reichskantinen (imperial cafeterias) after the coup succeeded. Another potential minister, an astrologist, would have been put in charge of "Transcommunication." A doctor was set to be "Minister of Spirituality and Healing." Now people might wonder what type of arsenal these people were equipped with. What weapons did the 3,000 police members discover at the homes and hideouts of these extremists? Two rifles, one handgun, swords, crossbows, and some antique guns. Which makes the following comment from leftist politician Janine Wissler all the more ridiculous: "What makes such networks especially dangerous is their connections to the army, police and legal system. Among them are people who are trained in using weapons and have access to weapons as well as sensitive information. Therefore it is vital to identify and dismantle right-wing networks within the army and police." It turns those vast connections were only able to deliver 3 modern guns to the group. 25 people arrested with a mean age past retirement armed with maybe one tenth of the arsenal of your average Turkish gang in Berlin. This is what Interior Minister Faeser called the "abyss of a terrorist threat." This is what inspired the German government to organize the largest police operation in German history. It all seems a little ridiculous (although to be fair, we have yet to see the Reichsburger group chats, which authorities promise are full hate speech most foul). As Federicus Versago pointed out in Krautzone, it is worth noting that the failed 2016 coup in Turkey involved the participation of over 8,000 soldiers. Any American with an interest in politics—left of right—can probably think of some chat groups, militias, and so on, that would pose a greater threat. The same is true in Germany. Leftist groups have attacked police with incendiary devices and teargas recently. On the right, the Freie Sachsen movement counts tens of thousands of members, the whole of which probably has more than two rifles in their possession. And this is even before we get into ethnic clans and mafias which have been operating largely unhindered. The focus on this group in particular feels inexplicably random. Unless you assume that the whole thing has nothing to do with terrorism, and everything to do with creating political advantage. A big joke with serious implications |

| #7 "Question: I read "German Police armed and clad in tactical gear descended on 50 homes in Germany, Austria and Italy, and arrested 25 people." No, that's an error. Arresting in Austria was done by Austrian police, in Italy by Italian police. |

| #1 Question: I read "German Police armed and clad in tactical gear descended on 50 homes in Germany, Austria and Italy, and arrested 25 people." Is this a new EU authorized cross border law enforcement agreement of some type? Or did Germany just violate Austrian & Italian Sovereignty & Jurisdictions? |
