René Springer wrote that the verdict against the state parliament member Wilko Möller shatters his trust in the judiciary. The Federal Court of Justice confirmed Möller's conviction; due to an election poster where parents formed a protective roof with their arms over three children, a fine of 11,600 euros and a criminal record were imposed. The courts evaluated the arm position as a gesture eerily similar to the Nazi salute, according to Springer. He described the verdict as a grotesque overreach of criminal law and wrote that its legal force does not make it more convincing. https://t.co/MYw70mR33J https://t.co/rIF6FkyAp1 #Justiz #Rechtsprechung #Freiheit (translated)

Trump has only allowed the transfer of 24 patriot missiles to Ukraine over the last 3 months. That is only 2 interceptors a week. Rather than ending patriot deliveries, Trump is sending a tiny amount so people can't complain he stopped while 95% of Russia's missiles still get to hit their targets.

The author wrote that he had repeatedly pointed out the direction towards fascism alongside the Union, but he did not believe he would witness such a situation. He claimed that a bill 3003 "On the Enemies of the People" had been submitted to the Sejm, which duplicated Stalinist laws and surpassed Hitlerite laws. He added that its provisions concerned, among others, individuals, but the entry was cut off at this point. https://t.co/ZzR3ijKbXW #faszyzm #wolność #polityka #PL (translated)
Björn Höcke referred to a recent interview conducted by Max Otte, in which Klaus von Dohnanyi recalled what he described as the destructive role of British political leadership for continental Europe over centuries. Höcke also mentioned Guido Giacomo Preparata's book *Conjuring Hitler – How Britain and America Made the Third Reich*, published in 2005, as well as a review of it that appeared in *Der Europäer* in 2009. The review reflected Preparata's view that Britain's imperial behavior was a particularly pronounced expression of Machiavellianism. Furthermore, Preparata described a long-term continuity of Western power centers that was based on stable interests. German politicians who wanted to act internationally for a sovereign Germany needed to be aware of this interpretation of history and plan strategically, Höcke wrote. He doubted that German top politicians with such abilities still had a chance and suggested that constructive and peace-loving actors were clearly falling behind in the race against time. Höcke also claimed that the civil war potential accumulated over decades was currently manifesting in France. According to him, a hot conflict with the nuclear power Russia was getting closer every day. He asked whether interested circles were considering a special two-front war and wrote that such a war would be the last for a Europe that deserved that name. #Geschichte #Politik #Europa (translated)
