What is this really about? Now more strange information is coming out about the Left Party's newly elected member of parliament, Mohamed Ali. Expressen reveals that for several years he has presented himself as the founder and CEO of a company that the newspaper cannot find. At the same time, documents regarding the company he has actually been involved in show that the equity at the end of 2024 was zero kronor, despite a registered share capital of 100,000 kronor. Additionally, no annual report for 2025 is said to have been submitted within the deadline. And then there’s Somalia. Business trips. Contacts with representatives of the Somali government. The project aimed at Somalia and the new connection to the country's reform program and the criticized agreement with Sweden. There is already an investigation into suspected electoral fraud regarding the campaign that led to him, from a non-eligible position and without any significant campaign of his own, suddenly being voted into the Swedish parliament. Mohamed Ali has suddenly become a very interesting person. How can so much seemingly revolve around a single person that his own party barely seemed to know? Debts and debt restructuring. An unexpected parliamentary mandate. An ongoing investigation into suspected electoral fraud. Companies and financial questions. Recurring business trips to Somalia and contacts with government representatives. What exactly are we seeing here? Mohamed Ali has gone from being a person that hardly anyone outside of Borlänge knew to a person who needs to be examined much more closely – his businesses, his companies, his contacts, and whether there are any connections between the various pieces of information. It is no longer enough to dismiss each new piece of information as just another strange coincidence. The entire story surrounding Mohamed Ali, his businesses, contacts, and path to the Swedish parliament needs to be thoroughly investigated. (translated)

I made some thoughts tonight about the new possible "Habeck/Wissing & co." party. Theoretically speaking, I see it this way: Such a "Habeck/Wissing party" + a prominent CDU politician should, according to Robin Alexander, possibly also be included, would have a historical precedent: Macron's "La République en Marche" from France. The electoral potential is the Merkel supporters of the CDU, the realos of the Greens, the left-liberal wing of the FDP, and the Seeheimers of the SPD. - This would create a huge gap on the "right-liberal conservative" side, thereby providing a great opportunity, for example, for TeamFreiheit as a counterweight. (I mention TeamFreiheit here because they are currently politically positioned there - it could also be something completely new) Such a leak would not be repairable for the old cumbersome tanker CDU anymore. By the time they have licked their wounds and actually realize what is happening, the thing is done. Parties with political "old burdens" like the CDU or FDP would be busy justifying their past mistakes, while other, new parties could play freely. The FDP would likely disappear. The CDU would at best retain its 65+ clientele, similar to other Christian Democratic parties in Europe. The left wing of the Greens would probably have to join with the rest of the SPD to pass the 5% threshold and to be able to represent a counterweight on the left side to the left radical edge of DIE LINKE. On the center-right side, one would need to politically push precisely into the gap that suddenly yawned: economically liberal, with a socially conservative compass, pro-Europe (unlike pro-EU bureaucratic regulatory overhead) + pro-NATO Western alliance. Making an attractive political offer to the former right-liberal voters of the FDP, the conservative/liberal voters of the CDU, while simultaneously attacking the AfD on the flank, where many of its voters actually do not want to go along with its content but tolerate it due to a lack of alternatives, e.g., on the "Russian nonsense," or also on certain socialist approaches in economic policy, right up to the excesses at the far right. General connectability must exist for such a party both to the new "Habeck-Co party" and to the AfD. Especially with the part that wants to participate in governance and also understands that political compromises are necessary for that. Even Meloni in Italy was only able to create a "right-conservative" majority because there are at least 2-3 "right" parties there. The AfD certainly cannot do it alone. Especially not if the "people's party" model dissolves into thin air due to such a maneuver by Habeck & Co. from the center. That would be a general trend that one would have to politically leverage in a "restructuring." One would have to position oneself both in terms of personnel and content, for example, broader at TeamFreiheit than before, but I would see that as a great opportunity. If the old party system is shaken up by such a new "Habeck party" from the center, then the cards will be reshuffled in a completely different way. The right-liberal-conservative flank would be wide open. It would make a big difference whether an old, crusty party system is broken open from the political center or from its political edges. This creates completely different opportunities for the political landscape. The AfD would also have to very quickly politically show its colors in many areas because it would no longer represent the only "alternative" to the existing party system that could mobilize the "dissatisfied," "protesters," and "non-voters." A new political force suddenly gets a chance where many voters find the AfD's positions too radical, but vote for them for various reasons because there is no real political alternative, and voting for "old parties" is no longer an option for them. I would personally welcome such a new "Habeck & Co." party because it would break and renew the old party system from the center, even though it would not be my party politically. A politically new force like the one I described as a right-liberal conservative counterweight, I would not only vote for but would even actively engage. A political renewal is urgently needed in Germany for many reasons. A large part of the population no longer trusts that either the Union, the SPD, or even the Greens in their current form are capable of doing so. - They are politically burned out, and each additional election makes that clearer every time. Whether one feels politically better represented by a left-green-liberal or a right-conservatively liberal new political force, we should not leave this renewal to the political edges. Wherever something dies, there is also room for something new. This creates the courage for change and a spirit of departure, which is currently lacking in many political areas and in the people's reality in Germany. The survival of the CDU, SPD, FDP, and Greens as political forces is not enshrined in the Basic Law. - So, let’s go! (translated)

3–5 CDU defectors to the AfD revealed?! Siegmund on the brink of becoming the Prime Minister! After the historic election result in Saxony-Anhalt, the next political bomb could explode: Several CDU members of parliament are apparently willing to defect to the AfD – and with that, Ulrich Siegmund could suddenly gain the decisive majority. Particularly explosive: Not only from the AfD but also from BSW and CDU statements are falling that indicate possible defectors. But who is behind it and how many MPs will actually switch sides? In the third ballot, a single vote could already change everything – thus turning the political landscape in Saxony-Anhalt upside down. (translated)

The #heuteShow is now less satire than supervised governance for the political center. Amthor and Söder are allowed to regularly play the likable self-ironic characters and soften their politics. With the Left, suddenly no punchline is enough: The entire framing package is unpacked: anti-Semitism, Hamas, Remmo, Intifada, expropriation. And then seriously: "Rent cap, good and well, but how about an anti-Semitism cap?" This is not satire that attacks power. This is the campaign against the Left packaged as a gag. Kick up? No. The #heuteShow makes itself a useful idiot of that very political center, which it allegedly wants to dismantle satirically. Clownish antics for conservatives, moral execution with punchline for the Left. State-serving filth. (translated)

According to Robin Alexander in today's "Change of Power" podcast episode, there is currently a rumor circulating through political Berlin that Robert Habeck, together with Volker Wissing, might possibly found a new party, and coincidentally the chairman of the left wing of the Greens, Banaszak, suddenly gives the green light in Berlin to merge with DIE LINKE, and Habeck happens to be sitting with Caren Miosga on Sunday evening...

The murderous border of the GDR Honecker said in one of her last interviews, when asked about the dead at the border, roughly: "Yes, I'm sorry. But they were also stupid, because everyone knew what could happen there." Another lie, because I, for example, did not know how these perverse border installations were set up. I knew that shots were fired there, but nothing more. Of the trip mines, tripwires, guard dogs, and the SM 70 automatic firing devices, I knew practically nothing. And I also considered for a while whether to try it and today I am very glad that I chose the other way - through imprisonment. Only those who were stationed as border guards could know about the border. At the same time, I want to say that I do not generally condemn the poor guys, because many of them suddenly found themselves at the green border with orders to shoot and did not know what was happening to them. I wouldn't have wanted to be in their shoes back then either, but it is known from interviews that almost all of them would have shot to avoid ending up in Schwedt. Just over 20 meters, or to the left or right. However, it looked completely different at the Wall, because only the handpicked border guards were deployed here. 200 percent of them who were all with the STASI and would have shot without batting an eye. And of course after the reunification, with a few exceptions, no one was really prosecuted or charged. And very recently, we have the case of Sven Hüber, which still needs clarification. In silent remembrance of the many victims who just wanted to be free. 🙏 (translated)

Timing is really fascinating sometimes. 😄 For days now, after the victory of the Berlin elections, DIE LINKE has suddenly been in the spotlight due to accusations of anti-Semitism and clan allegations. It concerns leaked chat messages, visits by clan members to Left party election parties, and dubious inquiries in the Bundestag. And just now, SPIEGEL discovers the AfD's "clan problem": A businessman was at the AfD election party against whom a case is pending (fraud) and who allegedly had business contacts with members of the Abou-Chaker family. The proceedings against him were provisionally discontinued. He denies the allegations. The AfD state leadership declares that they do not know the man. From this comes the headline: "Does the AfD also have a clan problem?" You can certainly report it that way. But the timing couldn't be more perfect to turn the media spotlight a little away from the Left. The factual basis for the alleged "clan problem of the AfD" is about as thin as the toilet paper in airport restrooms. 😁 (translated)

Gossip, gossip, and once again Macron is publicly talking about topics that public opinion would prefer not to hear. (It was similar with the topics of coalition eager to deploy troops in Ukraine after the ceasefire or the issue of sending troops if Russia crossed the Dnieper). (translated)

I am confused! Are there suddenly only two genders again? And generalizations are permissible again? And why is there no diversity represented here? Questions upon questions. (translated)

Christmas market? Too expensive. Now it's called a pleasure market. In Kerpen, the organizers said it quite soberly: barriers, security service, no support from the city. The club's finances are supposed to cover it. That's not possible. So a smaller market, less space, different name. To be honest, I find that humiliating. Not because one stand has less gingerbread. But because Christmas suddenly poses a financial risk as soon as you name it. Overath has completely cancelled. Kerpen wanted to rebrand. Both are the same picture. Security is necessary. Nobody disputes that. But if clubs have to rename themselves just to make the finances work, then something is wrong. Satire nothing is meant seriously. (translated)
