In a sick twist, now that the Trump-bashing Steinmeier has been promoted from foreign minister to head of state, his former position goes to Sigmar Gabriel.
Who has insulted Trump even more gravely (as reported in my last sitrep).
Gabriel is a pathetic loser. Under his leadership the SPD has become a shadow of its former self. (In 1990 the SPD had close to a million members, today not even half that. Gabriel may not be the main culprit, but he certainly did nothing to reverse course.) In its current state the SPD is useless for everybody except for the higher ranking members of the party. Sandwiched between Merkel’s left-leaning CDU and the LINKE, the SPD’s only hope is that people who always voted SPD, will still vote SPD, probably mainly as a matter of habit.
So to get ready for the elections later this year the SPD has prepared as follows:
- Steinmeier gets to be president of Germany and gives up his position as foreign minister.
- Gabriel gets to be foreign minister (hopefully not for long) and gives up his current ministerial post and, more importantly, his position as party leader.
- Schulz gets to be party leader of the SPD and candidate for this years election.
What a horrible move. As questionable as Steinmeier has been as foreign minister, replacing him with a bag of slowly composting, rotten potatoes would have been better than installing Gabriel. The former change might have gone unnoticed, but Gabriel will be noticed, and not for the better.
He summarised Steinmeier’s advice for him as : “Mach keinen Scheiß.” or “Don’t fuck up.”
What is he talking about? He already “fucked up” big time. If he had any sense of decency he would resign in shame and let people a take a turn, who have not already demonstrated their incompetence.
“Retire, write your memoirs, or something… But please get out of the way. It’s over for you. The Germans (which you partly insulted as “Pack”) do not respect you, your own party does not respect you, your fellow politicians do not respect you, and no one will respect you as a “German emissary”. Please spare yourself and Germany the embarrassment of being her foreign secretary.”
The best part of this story is that the SPD replaced Gabriel with Schultz.
This will look good for a couple of weeks at most. I see no way this can still look good this autumn, when people vote. But admittedly for now it looks pretty good.
All elections in Europe this year will mainly be about “Pro-One-World-Order” or “Against-One-World-Order”. Or “more EU power, more centralisation” versus “less EU power, more regional independence”. And there is no doubt where the people of the world and the EU lean.
The EU is already history and can only be saved by dictatorial violence for some time. And the SPD in Germany elects the one person that symbolises the party’s submission to this hated institution more than anyone else…
Gabriel is just incompetent but Schulz symbolises the EU-devil. This campaign will, I hope, end very badly for the SPD.
Like most established parties the SPD should listen to the people who could potentially vote for them, but instead they ridicule them. They should be agents of the people they represent, instead they try to force whatever they want on people and belittle them when they dare disagree. Here is SPD’s Ralf “Pöbel Ralle” Stegner:
from 0:09
Guest:
I would like to try to show the panel what they look like from down here to the common people (1). On the one hand we hear that Germany is a democracy, a free nation under the rule of law. It is not OK to claim that you are the only one fit to represent others (2). And still Stegner says “They (AFD) do not belong up there, no matter what the people think. That is verbatim what you said less than an hour ago.
That leaves me wondering: How democratic is such a position? And how is it acceptable in a democracy that the political parties polarize to such an extreme, with all the negative consequences this entails? It must be possible that even a major party (3) has enough respect for a new up-and-coming party. That they at least acknowledge that they made mistakes. Otherwise this movement would not even exist. In this context I need to mention that since your policies are ignoring European asylum laws by decree, and accusing all critics of the current refugee policies as inhuman (4), it comes as no surprise that people who think for themselves, Mr. Stegner, even if they are not part of the parliament, say: “That is not true. Yes, we want to help, but this should have been done differently.” In this case law and order have been eliminated. Mrs. Merkel said: “I know the way, I’m going there, and who ever dares criticise me is an indecent person.” And the populace stands up to this, that is the situation.
– Moderator gives Stegner the word –
Stegner:
Stegner (2:06):
As long as a party has not been outlawed, it can nominate candidates for parliamentary elections. So far, so good… But I see no reason whatsoever, for a party like the SPD, with core values like freedom, justice and solidarity, to engage with people who agitate against foreigners, who promote intolerance, who tolerate anti-semitism, and many more such things. With such a party my party will not cooperate. Say whatever you will, and even if you have 20 percent, which I find sad… Luckily in most German states 80% give their vote to other parties, that is also part of the truth. (6) That you get a lot of attention and that you manage, in a country like Germany with a free press – spontaneous laughter in the audience – to talk of “Lügenpresse” … Yes we have a constitution in which the freedom of the press – I am not sure how you, for example (turns to the Swiss moderator), are “under the government’s boot”. In how far you are forced to do things against your will, it did not seem to me that way. Even thinking about “Lügenpresse” when certain things are reported shows that, sometimes we are dealing with lunatics. I would advise such people to seek medical treatment, I certainly do not have to work with them. They are voted into parliament, which is bad enough… But my party will fight them politically.
Good job, Ralle. That is how you win hearts and minds. Just keep on babbling incoherent bullshit, but make sure the people you talk to understand that you talk down to them. People love that. When you talk about “free press” and they laugh, they do not laugh at you… They laugh with you. “Ha, Ha.”
Funny stuff. Just next time: Don’t let it get to you that much. Keep your cool. You are a fraud and everybody (except for your 20 percent of fifty percent) knows it. For now all the others do is ask questions. Just keep your mouth shut and enjoy that while you still can.
But seriously: I think this moment of spontaneous laughter is very revealing. Much like this one:
This kind of instinctive laughter probably tells you much more about what people think than interviewing them in a formal setting could, it comes from the collective gut.

Translation Notes:
- German: “Ein Spiegelbild vorhalten” / English: “Show someone what they look like in a mirror” more or less
- “Alleinvertretungsanspruch ist undemokratisch” – I do not know how to translate that better. If you have any ideas feel free to post them in the comments
- “Volkspartei” means something like “relevant party of old”. Imagine e.g. new parties becoming more relevant in the US and the Democratic Party ending up with around 20% of the vote. That is when they might invoke their status as a “Volkspartei”. In Germany only SPD and CDU are usually referred to as “Volksparteien”. It’s a pretty silly concept.
- “menschenverachtend”
- “Was ich bedaure”
- That is very misleading. Most people in Germany do not vote at all. The “non-voters” have almost always been the biggest voter block, ever more so recently. Stegner should say: We are losing ground even among the indoctrinated idiots we took for granted. Only a little more than half the population believe in the game we call democracy, and of those almost 80% percent vote for “non-SPD-parties”.
Germany – as the most important vassal state of the Zionist empire outside the USA/UK heartland – has its political structure under even heavier Politburo control than the rest of the reservation.
No wonder then, that among the whole German politics-business-media Elite we don’t find a single individual that couldn’t be replaced by a Golem without anybody noticing it. They are that dumb, charisma-less and predictable.
It goes without saying that AfD & consorts, too, are hastily glued-together ‘divide & conquer’ projects by the unimaginative Politburo.
Excellent points, C. and _smr.
Just wanted to mention how bimboplumpe reminded The Saker’s readers (in a reply to me, specifically :-) a few months ago, about the brutal consequences faced by some notable German politicians who were not charisma-less and predictable!
He mentioned Lafontaine – out of politics due to prostate cancer, right? I read this interview with Sahra Wagenknecht on Fort Russ, Nov. 21, 2016:
http://www.fort-russ.com/2016/11/wagenknecht-we-do-not-defend-germany-in.html?m=1
The article said, ‘With Oskar Lafontaine, her husband, she often gets on her bike. “When we have time, we bicycle a good 100 kilometres a day.”‘
He sounds pretty darn healthy to me!! And now Trump is POTUS. So is she hinting that Lafontaine may return to politics? And if it’s now possible (safe) for him to do so, who else might emerge on the German political scene??
What I find astonishing is how there are no primarys or elections in the sdp that it is moving people from one position to another. They are all shoe-Ins ,the sdp with Gabriel, Schultz and Steinmeier have just played musical chairs with some of the most important and powerful positions in governent. The party itself unlike in France or Britain, or the US plays a minor role.and everybody is perfectly happy with the set up.you are right Schultz moving from the EU to German national politics will backfire.It’s like musical chairs on the Lusitania (leaving the US heading for Europe)
Since 1914 the SPD is an anti-worker party. It enabled the Kaiser to wage a war of aggression and therefore is responsible for the over 16 million dead in WW1.

The US and the German led EU seem to be at each others throat – at least verbally. Germany tries to prevent Malloch’s nomination as ambassador to the EU and continues to arrogantly criticize the new US administration.
“The nascent transatlantic power struggle is entering a new round with the dispute over the economist Ted Malloch’s likely accreditation as US ambassador to the European Union. Malloch is very critical of the EU. He recently reiterated unusually harsh criticisms of Germany and the EU, previously expressed by US President Donald Trump and his top trade advisor Peter Navarro. In an interview, Trump had stated, “you look at the European Union, and it is Germany; basically, a vehicle for Germany.”[1] According to Navarro, the euro has been “grossly undervalued,” thus aiding Germany to “exploit” other countries with export offensives.[2] Melloch declared, “it seems to me that Trump believes that the European Union has in recent decades been tilted strongly and most favorably towards Germany.” Malloch also believes that the euro “is not only in demise” and “could in fact collapse in the coming year – year and a half.”[3] He also thinks that betting against the euro would have good prospects.”

In early 1980s, who would have thought that by 1990 East Germany would not exist and by 2015 Ukraine will be a puppet state of US-NATO ?
If East Germany (and USSR of course) still existed, things will be far better. It was a highly developed industrial state and a relatively successful example of state socialist policies. [Yes there was a secret police Stasi but police state methods are far more effective and brutal in modern Germany and USA]
And we have to blame the pathetic late soviet leadership that allowed East Germany to be dissolved and merge into the NATO-controlled West Germany. The east german leadership (led by Honecker) was unwilling to abandon socialism or to dismantle the east german state. But Gorbachev declined to support them, Honecker was overthrown, and the rest is history.
This process caused severe hardship. The lives of million east germans were devastated, east german industry and military were liquidated, millions fled to western parts, and NATO and EU advanced to nearby countries up to the borders of Russia.
What the then soviet leadership got in advance ? A promise of no NATO bases at east german lands. It was fulfilled, but it is pointless as all nearby countries (Hungary, Czech republic, Poland, Baltics etc) have joined NATO.
So many years after the so called reunification, living conditions have worsened not only for east Germans but also for west Germans. With the socialist east Germany gone, there was no need to continue the implementation of the generous social welfare policies that characterised west Germany during cold war.
Neoliberalism became the norm, mini jobs became widespread, and wages were kept at very low levels so as to keep german exports competitive. And most importantly, the elites have flooded Germany with millions of uneducated third world muslim people causing extreme tensions and destabilisation into German society.
“And most importantly, the elites have flooded Germany with millions of uneducated third world muslim people causing extreme tensions and destabilisation into German society.”
The Eurocrats/Zionazis have just launched another noisy MSM campaign based on a ‘report’ from Travesty International that really explained the ruthlessness and ultra-super-duper rottenness of ‘the Assad regime’. Granted, suchlike demagoguery is not particularly interesting by itself. What definitely should be an eye-opener, even to the most dense people, was that the Swedish MSM news broadcast — having dutifully promoted the nonsense by a # % € * cartoon (!) while speaking — then instantly went on interviewing assorted politicos to drive home the messages that:
1) The refugees are Assad’s fault
2) EU will have to pay for this by taking in more refugees
So, yes, it’s all out in the open. Must be hard to stomach for quite a few Western bigots that the Zionazis don’t seem to love them that much either.
I like the pun “travesty international”.I’ve noticed quite a few #fakenews comments. Most of the MSM led with the Max. Between 5k and ,15k lets run with the upper limit. Laughing witnesses filmed, some imprisoned over 2 years. And yet we are asked to ‘believe” ,,that 20-50 were hanged each week.who are these survivors? Must be the moderate rebel aristocracy.Sky was running with film of moderate rebelaristocracy parents (of doctors & journalists)claiming their offspring were also hanged here.Are you sure they are not in Idlib or Turkey?
I feel liberated that I can listen to these reports on European MSM and be komfortable with calling it #fakenews. how many though give this fake news credence
.
When the elections in September will come in, many “refugees” will be granted German citizenship. The German citizens with foreign roots from Asia, Central-Asia, Arab countries, Africa will vote in large majority for those who let them or brought them in. The Zionists are not fools but many don’t understand that.
Yes, very well said. I reckon the fall of the Soviet Union actually slowly started when Stalin was gone. Part of he post-Stalin (Roth-child Bolshevik) regime clearly collaborated with the fascist (Roth-child Nazi) run West. Under Gorbachev they finally saw (collaborating again) the time fit to collapse the USSR, and to rob and enslave both Russians/Soviets and Westerners even more, and which was and is of course the Roth-child Nazis & Bolsheviks goal in the first place.
I wonder who organized this “America First, XXX second” funny videos in all of Europe ?
Actually, Gabriel, a trade unionist critical of US imperialism, is a vast improvement over Steinmeier, with his sordid history from Yugoslavia to Ukraine — improvement unthinkable if Trump had not been elected.
(When Gabriel went to see Rex, it was all about selling cars, not looting the planet. At least, there is reason to hope it was.)
Don’t overlook the fact that under Gabriel, German armament sales went through the roof.

My two cents:
The Germans, in general, are too dumb to recognize their real enemy – their elites, instead they focus on “Ausländer”, migrants. AfD is just the worst of worst – in terms of workers rights, economy, welfare state . . . They are an one-theme-party: Islam, and of course they will make business with the Gulf states, just as Gabriel did it. Look who leads them, old CDU people who have a beef with Merkel.
In regards of Germany, an input can only come from outside.

As for the AfD I do agree with you.
But guess who created it? The Zionists founded and financed both PEGIDA and AfD as well as all those similar movements across Europe.
I already posted this, but it wasn’t published. If you understand german search on yt for AfD Israel.

@Resident in Germany:
How (partially) true.
Many probably won’t like it, but that’s the same in green what Lenin said:
Lenin’s speech on anti-Jewish pogroms [Engl. subt.] Lenin juduen kontrako pogromoei buruz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0ljxQsgUM4
p.s. I strongly distance myself from Trotsky and the channel named after him, but there aren’t that many sources of original Lenin speeches that have been translated into English.
The problem however is, that many (a minority perhaps, but many) of these “rapefugees” are indeed as evil as claimed by the Zionist-funded AfD, PEGIDA, Wilders, Le Pen, FPOe/Strache and the like.
I know it because I read the daily police reports in Germany and Austria.
It is true. So don’t talk it away. By doing so you make yourself complicit/guilty.
Lack of knowledge is no valid excuse.
@ Resident in Germany on February 08, 2017 · at 2:03 pm UTC :
Foreigners are not the problem (because of mixed interracial skin color).
What is the problem are ancient religions, such as Islam.
Do your duty and do read the Koran: http://www.koran-auf-deutsch.de/
Such as the sure about women: http://www.koran-auf-deutsch.de/4-die-frauen-nis%C3%A1
“15. Und wenn welche von euren Frauen Unziemliches begehen, dann ruft vier von euch als Zeugen gegen sie auf; bezeugen sie es, dann schließet sie in die Häuser ein, bis der Tod sie ereilt oder Allah ihnen einen Ausweg eröffnet.”
“15. And if some of your wifes/women(plural!) commit unconsiderable, call four of you as witnesses against them; if they testify it, enclose them in the houses, until the death overtakes them or opens Allah for them a way out.”
The problem are not foreigners, but those like you or Nussiminen who have not the slightest clue regarding their fanatical religious ideology.
And what you mean by “outside” ? some kind of intervention to “free” the Fatherland form his illness ? who will be that, just wonder…
@ all
Thank you for comments, I already forgot them today and want to thank you for the start of a (hopefully) fertile discussion.
First of all, I live in a big famous city in Germany and I also know and live in the ghettos, but so what? I myself am an Ausländer and we looked for asylum and I remember well how people behaved towards us. As my mother put it: asylum seekers were below criminals, what for? Because we feared for our live. I remember getting insulted, what for? To see Germans foreign minister petting with the dictator of my home country.
People come here, are brought in (like Poles and Russians) and get their places mostly by the city administration, rich people to rich people, poor to poor. The same situation with the East-Prussian refugees in the 50’s. Living in a ghetto gives you also an insight how the city works: once I stumbled over four VIP police cars (secret service or something like that) where I live and no news about that in the local paper. Some months later there was some trouble in a Roma family and I could read it on the web site of the local paper.
And I do not condone crime but let’s be fair: The brutalization of society is everywhere here in Germany. People used to be nice to each other, not by words, but by deeds for things that were selbst-verständlich (natural). You can see it among white-collar people, you can see it in the administration. The only thing to do is to apply the law, first of all. If people do not get punished, they will feel more power. Of course, you say, well foreigners do not get the same punishment like Germans, but is this the fault of the accused one? Do you really blame the accused one of getting the best deal?
And @nomercy, maybe to get a glimpse of the mind of this youngsters, we should all start “clockwork orange”.
Regarding the cooperation of right-wingers and Israel, well pi-news is also based in Israel, isn’t it? And Wilders is their beloved guest? It is easy for Israel: instead of dealing with Palaestinians, it is easier to demonize them because of their ‘religion’.
I know it because I read the daily police reports in Germany and Austria.
It is true. So don’t talk it away. By doing so you make yourself complicit/guilty.
Lack of knowledge is no valid excuse.
So you read daily police reports, by pi-news or by wire. How do you get your hand on it? And I do not make myself complicit for crimes others commit. If I doubt, for certain reasons, various interpretations, we can discuss it, but blame the crimes on those who do it and don’t spray responsibility among those who have no connection with it.
So I ask you once again: How do you get your reports? How sure are you that it is verified? And what do those reports say? What is the nature of the crimes? (Isn’t it just another side of the ‘Lügenpresse’, just as Bild always prints “The whole truth about refugees”).
And those Nafris, well the problem has been for at least 15-20 years, young violent criminals from Morocco who all come from a certain region in North Morocco along the border to Algeria.
@ Kirov
I have studied Islam and Koran to depths unknown to many others. I have more clues about the Orient, just ask the Saker when I told him that Jesus in Islam is not considered crucified.
I can just say to the ideology of Koran: no book on the world, be it Koran or mein Kampf, talks to a person and says: kill this man, beat that woman. You have always the choice to follow words or not, and if someone reads a Koran and goes on to beat a woman then people mostly made up their mind before they started reading such a book and look for a (holy) justification. BTW, I do not consider myself a Muslim and I consider all this Wahabi stuff part of British / US religion engineering just like Evangelism etc.
And what you mean by “outside” ? some kind of intervention to “free” the Fatherland form his illness ? who will be that, just wonder…
Well, how should I put it … after the French revolution, in the areas bordering France people founded clubs who sticked to the ideas of the French revolution. I honestly do no know but what I see is that this phlegmatic, indolent, passive Germany will not move by herself.
thanx to all for your input even if I felt to reject most of it.
Dear Resident,
thank you for your comments. I think you are spot on when you say: “The Germans, in general, are too dumb to recognize their real enemy – their elites”
But since that is true, I do not see how “input from the outside” can be the solution. People in Germany, no matter their roots, need to realise who their enemies are and refuse to submit to their rules. And I think that needs to come from within first and foremost.
Anyway, thanks for your input.

Gabriel.might come in handy, because he showed a tiny bit of willingness to come to terms with Russia,also considering a new trade union with China. As bad as this still may be, it is a step away from the warmongering neocon policy.
