The equally perceptive Ernst Wolff, one of the first to finger the menace posed by the WEF, Blackrock and CBDCs, commented yesterday:

📹 According to Bloomberg, the EU is preparing a $20 billion package for Ukraine. The winner of tomorrow's federal election: BlackRock. BlackRock will not only provide the new Chancellor, but will also be the main beneficiary of the arms buildup madness.

Well, that fills in a puzzle piece; I wasn’t clear at all why Germany rolled over and stayed silent while the Nordstream 2 was destroyed, gutting the German economy and causing runaway inflation. The fingers of Blackrock in the political system helps clarify the complicity between German politicians and the US attack on Germany’s infrastructure.

Fits well with Weidel’s past GoldmanSachs’ job.

(begin quote from Reuters, not any independent media) BERLIN (Reuters) - Alice Weidel, the chancellor candidate of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), is an unlikely public face for a male-dominated, anti-immigration party that depicts itself as a defender of traditional family values and ordinary people.

The 46-year-old is raising two sons with a Sri Lankan-born woman, a filmmaker, and speaks fluent English and Mandarin, having done a doctorate in economics in China. A western German leading a party that is strongest in the former communist East, she worked for Goldman Sachs and Allianz Global Investors and as a freelance business consultant before entering politics. (end quote)

seems to be a plant from WEF and China. I think part of the problem of the AfD crowd is that they are angry, they have reasons to be angry, but they don't know how to solve the problems politically nor do they see good candidates to lead them. A bit like the MAGA crowd, but at least the MAGA crowd has Trump and a few good people around him. Perhaps as I learned from Nel of Worldlines, Sahra Wagenknecht’s new left-wing Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) is a better choice and better fit for a German society with a strong socialist history.

I think the only people who can oppose those institutions are people with inside knowledge of those institutions. Otherwise you are always step behind. I don't subscribe to canceling everyone who ever visited Davos forum or worked for big bank.

very true. I don't doubt Alice Weidel because she worked at Goldman Sachs (I did deduct points) However, I am not quite sure AfD is really for Germany's future. But rather, AfD today seems more likely the old Green party: launched for environment protection and regulations on industrial pollution but morphed into a pro-War party today. It seems the German Green Party now spends more time on Ukraine than on environmental or energy conditions in Germany. I got the feeling that AfD is on the same track.

I think you are right. Seems Musk endorsing them is part of the effort of redefining their program. From Germany first into America first.

I think what Musk did about Germany is probably more of Musk First - remember his huge investment in Germany in both cars and batteries. Given his influential position then he needs to be extra careful about his talk and actions. I personally believe Musk is simply the right tool for this stage of the USA recovery by helping to address the visible wounds. Musk does not look like somebody suitable to lead actions to address the deeper problems. Along the same tune, Trump is no Saint. He is simply the right tool to correct the America's decline at this moment. Trump would not be very helpful to the national future after 4 years. Part of the reason we pursue democracy is to let new people and new ideas continue to flow to the top as time and situations change. Trump's Disruptor Style is the right medicine for now and for the US - definitely not for the long term and likely not for the rest of the world.

I don't know what to think. He appears more like a PR figure than a businessman. It is possible his money is not really his. He spends too much time tweeting and and appearing in media to have a time to serious work.

Trump doesn’t have ‘a few good men’ around him, Nakayama. One faction of empire is simply at war with another faction of empire; MAGA is going to end up just as disillusioned (or incredibly deluded) as BlueAnon and its denizens. NONE of these empire leaders are our friends, and to believe they are or align ourselves with them is folly.

I am not even sure if there is any infighting. Looks more like the deep state selected Trump long before the election as someone who better suits their new agenda. As for Trump's split with Europe, it is fake. Trump negotiating peace in Ukraine means Europe will not get involved and the risk of Europe improving relationship with Russia is avoided.

You could absolutely be right. This “war” has destroyed EU / Russian relations (which were actually pretty good pre-2016), and impoverished the EU, especially Germany. I am not convinced that this wasn’t one of the goals.

I think the US got what it wanted fro this war.

Why? Just why would Germany sold out to Blackrock like that? Why trust Merz, a guy that stereotypically resembles an amoral Herr Dokter?
