Thorsten Alsleben picked up Mark Schieritz's formulation of a "world-historical dimension" and compared the announcement made by the Audi CEO in 2026, to explain a plant investment in the USA at an event with Trump, to a series of historical events. He included the end of World War II in 1945, the founding of the State of Israel in 1948, the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, the first manned moon landing in 1969, the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. #Weltgeschichte #Geschichte #Politik (translated)

Michael Kyrath wrote that real democrats persuade with arguments and do not hide behind walls. He derogatorily referred to people without arguments. Additionally, he thanked Thomas Dick and NIUS for the courage to speak openly and quoted a sentence from Berthold Auerbach (1812–1882) about the pain of losing a child. #Demokratie #Argumentation #OffeneWorte (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that NRW Minister Nathanael Liminski recommends that The Left politically cleanse its own ranks. He noted that Liminski is speaking to taz, but not to NIUS. Hartmann asked whether The Left wants to present itself as a potential coalition partner of the Union, and disparagingly labeled the party with a historical accusation. In Schleswig-Holstein, in his view, Liminski's recommendation was received with satisfaction: Prien and Günther celebrated the successes of their "full swing to the left," he wrote. #Politik #NRW #DieLinke (translated)

The author referred to Angela Merkel as "Red Merkel" and claimed that the former chancellor had revealed herself as a supporter of the political successors of the SED.

BrennpunktUA wrote that the account does not miss either the Russian tanks that suppressed the uprisings in Prague and Budapest, nor the Berlin Wall.

Additionally, BrennpunktUA applauded Giorgia Meloni. https://t.co/eMvynz9RYj #Freiheit #Geschichte #Frieden (translated)

Marc Friedrich wrote that France is bankrupt, characterized by unrest, and has a state quota of 57 percent. At the same time, he believes the country needs more and more taxes and sources of revenue. In the finance committee of the National Assembly, an exit tax on cryptocurrencies has been decided: Those leaving the country with more than 800,000 euros in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies will have to pay; coins on exchanges will also be affected. Starting from January 1, 2027, exchanging into stablecoins will also be considered a taxable sale. The proposal will go into the budget debate on October 13. Friedrich warned that first money will be devalued, then assets will be taxed that people use to escape from this money, and finally the escape itself will be taxed. He wrote that the planned tax is part of creeping capital controls; France is just the beginning, and Germany is closely watching the development. He described Bitcoin as freedom rather than a speculative object and wrote that the state wants to control it for this reason. He advised diversifying assets and also thinking across different countries and legal systems. #Frankreich #Bitcoin #Steuern (translated)

Marc Felix Serrao wrote that the SPD and the Greens do not defend the fire wall out of concern for democracy, but out of self-interest. If it falls, the CDU would no longer be dependent on left-wing partners, according to Serrao; everything else he described as political theater. #Politik #Demokratie #CDU (translated)

Prof. Dr. Dr. Olaf Gierhake wrote that the wall of silence and cover-up of alleged Corona crimes in Germany, which he referred to as orchestrated, will collapse.

In conclusion, he wished them success. #Corona #Transparenz #Gerechtigkeit (translated)

Sarah Zickler compared the promise, under her chancellorship, to neither raise taxes nor abandon the debt brake, with the statement that no one intends to build a wall. Moreover, she wrote that she now deeply despises parties and their party soldiers, especially the chancellor. #Politik #Kanzler #Steuern (translated)

Wolfgang Kubicki criticized that in Berlin a coalition must first agree on principles for dealing with anti-Semitism and organized crime. This was "complete madness," he wrote, and reminded of a declaration of intent by the same party not to want to build a wall. The Left has always wasted paper. For Berlin under "Red-Red-Green," difficult years are ahead, Kubicki wrote. The alliance stands for uncertainty, fear, and resentment and has little to offer the city. They want to counter that with confidence; he is convinced that the liberal urban society cannot be broken. #Berlin #Politik #Gesellschaft (translated)

NIUS reported that Hannes Kuhnwald, a farmer and agricultural influencer from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, warned of a crisis in agriculture. According to him, never have so many businesses given up as currently, especially small farms. He cited rising energy costs, low margins, and producer prices, which have not increased inflation-adjusted in ten years, as reasons. Support programs without scaling according to farm size exacerbated the situation, said Kuhnwald. To preserve agriculture, small farms must be specifically protected, he demanded. https://t.co/qVy5QnfyfS #Landwirtschaft #Agrarpolitik #Kleinbetriebe (translated)

Marc Friedrich criticized that German is not being used as the language so that young children could learn it from the beginning and be integrated. Instead, another "wall" is being erected, which in his view will further strengthen parallel worlds and fears. #Integration #Sprache #Gesellschaft (translated)

Waldemar Hartmann criticized the reactions to the election of Tobias Rausch as the president of the state parliament in Saxony-Anhalt. The federal SPD demonstrated with Boris Pistorius, whom Hartmann referred to as the "war minister," at Bebel-Platz and sang the national anthem. The CDU is looking for "undercover agents" within its own ranks, while NGOs warned and threatened with actions, he wrote. Hartmann saw the actual political scandal in Berlin: SPD and Greens continue to talk with Die Linke about a common political future. He mentioned antisemitism, similarities with criminal clans, and connections to terrorist organizations. The federal SPD points to the responsibility of the state association, while the Greens remained duplicitous, Hartmann wrote. Their position contradicts the importance that the green-left milieu otherwise attributes to the issue of stance. #Demokratie #Politik #Deutschland (translated)

"If you do not lay the first brick at some point, you can gladly discuss the roof structure: it will do no good - and what we are doing here now is the foundation. 'With the 'Infraplan', we are looking at renovation, digitization, new construction, and expansion much more collaboratively than before,' said Lange." #Infrastruktur #Bahn #Infraplan (translated)

Dimetra wrote that on this day it was not only about a president of parliament, but also that a wall had fallen. What had begun back then in Leipzig had now continued in the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt in Magdeburg.

Manaf Hassan wrote that it was not the firewall that had fallen, but a structure that, according to him, had allowed the old parties for decades to exchange positions without making policy for the country and its people. He described this structure as characterized by hypocrisy, double standards, and lies, and stated that it was now history. #Politik #Veränderung #Wahrheit (translated)

Reza Pahlavi Communications published a statement that had reportedly been signed by 133 Iranian political prisoners and activists. In it, the signatories thanked the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom for awarding the Freedom Prize 2026 to the Iranian people and for commissioning Prince Reza Pahlavi to accept it. The signatories wrote that during the protests on January 8 and 9, 2026, people had demanded an end to the Islamic Republic and more freedom. Published reports and estimates indicated tens of thousands of deaths and thousands of arrests. They stated that executions continued and death sentences were imposed in part based on confessions coerced under torture and in unfair trials. The authors referred to Reza Pahlavi as their political representative and supported him in leading a transition to a free, democratic Iran. They wrote that the Iranian people should decide on the future form of government in a free vote. They urged governments and international institutions to prevent executions, release political prisoners, and grant independent observers access to prisons. Additionally, they called for an end to business with the Islamic Republic, for a transparent use of frozen Iranian assets to support the freedom movement, and for better access to secure internet, including through Starlink. The letter was dated October 2026. #Iran #Freiheit #Menschenrechte (translated)
