Frankfurt. Rhineland Palatinate does not want any more AfD members in public service. State Minister of the Interior Michael Ebling (SPD) stated on Thursday that any applicants must in future declare that they do not belong to an “extremist organisation” and have not belonged to one in the last five years. Anyone who refuses to make this declaration and cannot eliminate any doubts about their own loyalty to the constitution will not be allowed to become a civil servant or employed in public service. To this end a “regularly updated” list of “extremist groups and organisations” will be consulted. This list will contain organisations “on which there will be sufficient” indicators of anti-constitutional aspirations. “For this reason the AfD will also be included on the list”, a statement from the Ministry of the Interior states.

With update from 1 July 2025

As Friedrich Engels, who was extremely well-versed in ancient history among other things, noted, "A people that oppresses another people cannot itself be free", Trump also noticed that the expansion of US imperialism to the status of absolute world domination would also bring about the deprivation of rights and impoverishment of his own people, i.e. the Americans. (The subjugation of all the peoples of the massively expanded Mediterranean region by the Romans, although initially leading to a certain degree of prosperity for them at the expense of everyone else – and for a very low number of them prosperity beyond their wildest dreams – freedom from taxation for Italian landowners and mass welfare for the countless poor in the capital cities and generous salaries for soldiers and civil servants, meant the virtually absolute impoverishment and deprivation of rights of all citizens of the empire (who now also had admittedly worthless civil rights), a development whose analogy had already begun at the time of Engels in the British Empire and is striving towards its climax in all of the old industrial states, which includes the US.) Trump, as a kind of traitor to his own ruling class, which he had not belonged to for generations, tried to fight this, and he was also, against extreme and criminal obstruction that never stopped and with the consequences of the war of destruction against the remains of Russia, successful in a crucial round, and was commissioned to carry out this self-chosen task by his people in the face of said obstruction, which was and is being carried out above all by the media and the judiciary.

As long as the US governments, which had been controlled and installed by their ruling class (by means of the media and campaign financing) without any problems before Trump, still formed the military counterpart to the Eastern Bloc, and later on at least the now bleeding remains of Russia, they still had to rein themselves in a little as regards their vassal peoples and their own people, as much as their plan of impoverishment and deprivation of rights had been determined for a long time and had been carried out decade by decade, carefully but purposefully and comprehensively. (The most important means of achieving this was and is the promotion of planetary overpopulation, or hindering any fight against it; it provides the excuse for one demand for sacrifice after another, hammered in until all the progress in freedom and wealth created in modern times has been reliably destroyed; and the mouthpieces of the leaders of this ruling American class, i.e. of Mr Soros & co, such as Schwab or his local cheerleader Ulrike Herrmann, even admit this for all the world to hear; people should become "poor but happy" in a "post-voting society", i.e. after the abolition of voting rights). But now, this right to vote unexpectedly got in the way in the last round before the destruction of the sovereignty of Russia, meaning that only election fraud, and in the vassal states either the same or putsches – like in Romania – or terror by means of groups of thugs and people tearing posters down acting with impunity, could with considerable effort prevent the continuous execution of the task that the American people had been able to elect Trump to execute and enable the monstrous war against Russia, justified with the consequences of the Maidan putsch, guided and staged by the US-governed Western Bloc, to which the remains of Russia, numbed by its Eastern Bloc defeat, reacted so wretchedly in the few days it would have been able to do better, and can now no longer make up for the damage.

But when the American people still managed to stave off prevention or renewed rigging of its elections, said ruling class, i.e. the so-called “Four Hundred” or "The Good Club", pulled out all the stops: mainly at the expense of the Europeans, who have now been forced into eternal debt bondage, especially the Germans, in the weeks in which President-elect Trump had to wait to reach office, they pumped Ukraine, which is rather ridiculous as an independent factor with a four-year supply of the finest, full of the most modern and more effective war material and instructed Israel to carry out the final solution to the Syrian question, i.e. the independence of a country that had not done the slightest harm to it since the Six-Day War. The highly mysterious Gaza incident – how could the undoubtedly terrorist but militarily weak Hamas cross the hotly contested and best-guarded border in the world with heavy weaponry unhindered and, undisrupted by the Israeli army, massacre and kidnap the civilian inhabitants of several border villages? – merely provided a smokescreen for the destruction of the helpless Northern Lebanon (which had nothing to do with it, or at least no more than anyone elsewhere on Earth did) in order to cut Syria off from its only lifeline (which leads through Hezbollah territory there, in Northern Lebanon, from the coast, which has been harassed by German warships for decades) and kill the last defenders of its land against the NATO-bred Islamic cutthroats and mass rapists. That had definitely not been planned this way; "The Good Club" had undoubtedly intended the slow bleeding to death of Syria to proceed according to the tried-and-tested Yugoslavian pattern, as is also intended for the remains of Russia, but now Trump’s coming into office threatened the rescue of the hard-hit country and so things had to happen quickly – there were only a few weeks left – and that is why things did happen quickly. By the time Trump was finally back in power, there was no independent Syria any more and the holocaust of its Alawite and Christian people was executed faster than Hitler’s was of the Jews. That’s really "free and democratic", isn’t it?! It worked, anyway.

But that was not enough. The insane military build-up of Ukraine, which danced to the tune of its powerful American sponsors even without the European relay station, on whose cringing, bloody obedience they could and can rely, prevented Trump from fulfilling his promise, which he had indeed been able to fulfil beforehand, to save Russian sovereignty or peace at Europe’s eastern border. That was his first lost point. He lost his second due to his lack of insight into human nature (as he had once before when filling a vacant federal judge post with a traitor, without whose decisive vote the fraudulent election would have been stopped by that very court) by getting Elon Musk, who is seriously neurotic but still definitely part of the ruling class, on board, upon which they paused their attacks on Trump, who had just gained popularity by freeing his people from the W ‘H’ O tyranny and thereby the Soros/Gates gang, and instead turned all their guns on Musk in all the countries ruled by them, which promptly filled up with anti-Musk graffiti and attacks (on his goods); he could not stand up to this barrage and quickly turned: the second loss of prestige for Trump, behind whom only the people stand, and they have no media of their own, but a lot of everyday concerns and therefore have little intellect or, what almost amounts to the same, overview (which was fittingly summed up by the prosaic Lenin in his phrase “What is to be done?"). Only that makes Trump really vulnerable, but also seriously vulnerable; because he has no loyal and enlightened party of the masses (the "Republicans" cannot be regarded as such) that could doggedly enlighten the divided people in local gatherings about the structure of and background to the events.

But his domestic enemies, who saw and see their absolute world domination (and the first one in world history), i.e. the Western wolf’s Maidan loot, under threat, did not let go, and are not letting go, and raised the stakes. As if the disgrace in Syria was not enough, they blatantly coerced Israel into what was the most cynical war of aggression of at least the last thousand years (Genghis Khan’s wars of aggression were more naïve than cynical, which was admittedly of no consolation to the victims), i.e. that against Iran, with the infamous justification that Iran may have nuclear weapons one day and therefore may attack Israel with them one day (which could be prevented extremely easily by an Israeli-US defence alliance, even in the event of local nuclear armament by the Mullah state, an option that the remains of Russia, which is directly next to Ukraine, which has been pumped up to the max by its deadly enemies, of whom it is at the mercy, with first-strike weapons that do not still need to be made, does not have). It is as remarkable as it is revolting that our aligned "quality media", which are otherwise so keen to use the word so monotonously, hammering repeatedly against the surrounded and helpless Russia, that never want to use the much louder and more morally convincing expression “war of aggression” against aggressive Israel, but even waffle – and have waffled in the past – about its "retaliatory strikes" before Iran had even thrown a toy torpedo onto its territory. Even Hitler avoided the expression "retaliatory strike" during his invasion of Poland, despite the WTC-like "Sender Gleiwitz", because intelligence and purity of language were more widespread in his time (which is why he had to resort to more open terror against the people than his constitutional successors – at least until today).

In this situation, under this pressure, Trump must have caved in. He is clearly thinking of sacrificing Iran (since Israel, covered by the American ruling class, is impudently refusing to obey him and provocatively continuing to bomb and kill – deliberately killing individuals, even designated in advance, is still murder, pure and simple, no rattling doublethink can get one out of this, and since there has been no attack it cannot be self-defence) in order to save Russia. This is a stupid idea, which will and must obviously have the opposite effect to that intended. We can only try to understand how this came about; to do this we must switch from the field of politics to that of psychology, since both fields are closely linked.

The best feature of the US, which separates it very conveniently from Europe, is freedom of religion (compare the treatment of Scientologists over there and over here and you will see the difference immediately). This is connected to its origins, which were mainly influenced by European, primarily English religious refugees; the expression "Pilgrim Fathers" should suffice. The second best, closely connected to the first, is anti-feudalism; this is what US citizens basically mean when they proudly talk of “democracy”, even if they are rarely clearly aware of it (just stick your nose into the old cult book "Tom Sawyer" and you will find it!), and this, and nothing else, is the true core of this usage (and should actually make real Yankees sick when they catch a whiff of a hand-severing oil sheikh even at a great distance, but since Mark Twain at least serious decadence has taken place). The freshly baked USA quickly filled itself from the feudal corners of Europe with all kinds of economic – and religious – refugees (and after 1848 many political refugees too), but they also brought different religions with them. This once again cemented the principle of freedom of religion that the US is rightly proud of to this day; there has never even been a hint of a state church there (which in Europe, as bad as the principle is, was still able to have some progressive, i.e. basically anti-feudal traits, in other words, when it was Protestant; this even applies to that very England from which Puritans, i.e. radical Calvinists, Quakers and many others either fled or were driven away).

But the true test of whether freedom of religion is meant seriously was the legal, unqualified equality of Jews; this was a difficult business even for the French Revolution (you can read about this in Graetz’s detailed history of it without being too distracted by his inevitably archaic language). For the Christian religion, to which even the pioneering settlers fleeing to North America from its ruling perverted forms belonged, expressly states, just as Mohammed does in his Koran (read Sure 4, for example!), the inferiority of Jews in its holy scriptures, in a manner not as parroting and vulgar as the founder of Islam, but even more fanatically: they, and not the Romans as was the case in reality, are the actual murderers of our Lord and Saviour and therefore "the children of Satan" (e.g. John 8:44). If one curbs ordered discrimination dictated by religion that can culminate in valid acts of law, such as reduced sentences for or lack of prosecution of those who carry out pogroms unlike differently motivated violators of the same state laws, that means that the freedom of religion is being prioritised over religious content; only then is it real because there are frequently objective conflicts between the two, in which no compromises are possible without breaching one or the other claim. The Jews naturally provided the touchstone for this in their time, first in France, then in the US (formally, the chronological order was the other way around, but it would require too much time to explain this in depth here). In France they replaced the atheists in this function once they had attained equality (the bolder enlighteners had all been atheists who had, however, been restricted much more in terms of their public effectiveness than the “deists”, who had merely refused commitment to any particular confession, because consistent religious criticism meant the death of feudalism). This aspect was missing in the US since there was no hereditary political power there, and certainly no enforced personal servitude (excluding slavery at this point). This is why the stereotype of “Jews good, Muslims bad” can be maintained in today’s typical American mentality, and no matter whether he agrees with this or not, since he is merely supported by the people, in whom it is rooted, and without any other power reserve, Trump must react to it. Because this stereotype has been embedded still further in two phases, also, of course, under the aspect of self-righteousness, which is beloved the world over: although real refugees were not welcome in the US when it came down to it (if they brought neither money or specialist skills with them, of course), they were able to feel themselves as saviours of the Jews when there were hardly any left, since they, with wise and tested calculation, attacked the German Reich, and therefore Hitler’s regime, conquered the most valuable part of its territory for itself towards the end of the war. This impression was reinforced by many Jews having fled to the US from the sinister Tsarist Empire about a generation and a half before and having been accepted benevolently (although they frequently had to suffer a little Christian-influenced anti-Semitism, it was not dangerous) and becoming a visible part of the population, which anyone who wished to see visible proof of the prevailing freedom of religion could rightly be proud of. There was very little to be sensed of Islam, good or bad, at that time; but in the last forty years or so it has, by means of demonstrative pampering, which started from the ruling class, of course, to which sullen, unenlightened and miserable subjects, for whom "letterboxes" and child-mutilators set an example, are preferable to self-aware and therefore materially demanding and vivacious citizens, become an emphasised antithesis to components, worthy of support, of the typical American “values”– freedom of religion, law and order and equality of the sexes (which did not reach the US until late on, but it did eventually...; the informally relatively good position of the women there, even during the pioneering era, resulted from their under-representation in terms of numbers) and anything in general associated with the term “freedom”, which is somewhat unclear and can be perverted but still very much upheld, especially in the US. The esteem these values are held in once again connects Trump to his voters, whom he must not lose. But then a more sinister trait comes in the establishment of the stereotype of “Jews good, Muslims bad”, which is recent in this form but grew from an old tradition, which does not represent the reaction to the existing, and indeed disgusting, traits of Islam – that trait that made the Jews unlikeable to the Roman imperialists in the bar Giora era and later in the bar Kokhba era: their unbendingness to imperialism. It cannot simply be said that all the Muslims support this, since of all people it is the mediaeval stinkers from the Arabian peninsula who are very willing to cooperate with the imperial power, i.e. the US (and they scandalously, in opposition to all of those “American values”, do not support their local opponents from southern Yemen to the Houthis but fight them instead); yet it was Khomeini’s anti-imperialistic Iran that set an example similar to that of ancient Judea, that the world should not belong to the "Good Club" and its governments and armies, meaning that he is heartily hated (unlike Syria, which could be recognised from the outset as a merely passive victim of American imperialism, whose conquest the American people were supposed to, but did not want to, carry and pay for for its de facto rulers, and initially bravely prevented through mass demonstrations, very much in contrast to their lickspittling European counterparts, who gobbled up all the shit churned out by the press without any conscience) by everyone who has the exact opposite opinion (as the European colonialists, so terribly disapproved of today, did analogously, who urgently had to bring civilisation to their conquered outposts, which if it had happened with unselfish intentions there would have been nothing to object to). But the American people must not be overestimated or even idealised either: the secret yet practised imperial claim sits deep in a great many of them, even if they are rarely aware of this (because this would have to lead to that calculation and understanding with which this investigation was opened).

Trump must consider this part of his voters, which may be small but is definitely present, especially those in the army who will be receptive to it: what general does not prefer an advance to a retreat? Since he wants to save the world from the world domination of US capitalism, which will irrevocably occur with the destruction of the remains of Russia, Trump was and is forced into a balancing act in this situation; in order to defuse the suspicion of insufficient aggression against this arch-enemy, which has been embedded as such since the proletarian, i.e. anti-capitalist revolution, in the US that is held together by its giga-capitalists and therefore also determined in its mentality, Trump had to make a few nonsensical (and never seriously meant) declarations of intent when assuming office about invading Greenland and the formal annexation of the Panama Canal (which, as he well knows, would change absolutely nothing in terms of the actual conditions) in order to shake off the secret reputation of wanting to give up conquests that have already been made. A balancing act that has now over-challenged the skilfulness of Trump, who has been and is being viciously plagued by all parties. He has now trodden on the Israeli-Iranian egg, and that is fatal. Remember: for decades, from the first days of Khomeini’s seizure of power onwards, our governments and the aligned media danced around the mullah regime with revolting obsequiousness, threw the most popular television stars under the bus – or onto the road to Canossa – for the most harmless satires of the old Ayatollah to please him (e.g. show master Rudi Carrell), fell over themselves to play down the most evil Islamic atrocities, from the cutting off of hands to stoning for adultery, from the murder of the Baha’i in their native land to the enforced wearing of the chador and acid thrown into the faces of the disobedient; we were bombarded with one adulation of fairness and understanding after another for decades, while we always and with the utmost clarity stated all the crimes and turpitudes of Islam in power unlike the pro-religious lick-spittlers of the aligned media, as any Ketzerbriefe (Heretics’ Letters) reader will confirm. Our reward for this was an onslaught of mud thrown at us by those who scream loudest against Iran today, the same Iran that they knelt for respectfully, while at the same time playing down even the most atrocious of deeds, because that is what the quality media of their trans-Atlantic masters and sponsors wanted. That never prevented us from supporting Khomeini against American control of Iran (indirectly via Reza Pahlevi), because national sovereignty, on which the Soviet Union, particularly under Lenin, had to insist firmly against its raging enemies, stands above any content of rule over any given country. (If the imperialists weren’t so keen on eliminating atrocities in countries that do not belong to them, the first and most urgent thing they should have to do would be put an end to genital mutilation, especially that of girls, in a host of countries that would be extremely easy to occupy, because even the painless death of the girls affected would in truth not be as bad; instead of this, they actually promote their terrible and intentionally humiliating mutilation and spread any poison through their aligned media in all its forms in order to play down said atrocity). The reason for our "sovereignist" position is simply of a reasonable nature because it is mathematical: a national revolution against a national government, however evil it may be, is infinitely easier to carry out than a world revolution. And it can be sufficiently supported by generous granting of asylum and freedom of speech for its fleeing enemies. Every people must then decide how to continue, but above all they must also be able to do it. By contrast, it is extremely difficult for the whole of humanity to do it in one go.

Trump has been tempted by the stereotype described above, which is in the heads of people not only in his country but in those of many others too, albeit clearly unwillingly, into sacrificing his claim to be a president of peace. At this point we must refuse him any support in future, because his cause is now lost; the whole world will have to face the music for it. That is tragic and bad for all those who now occupy this world, which is heading for wretchedness and servitude, but this does not diminish our disgust at Trump’s enemies and persecutors one iota and nor should it diminish anyone else’s.

Update from 1 July 2025

 We had several letters in response to the above article that gave hope to the idea that Trump’s back-pedalling was only temporary; some events and information from this last week do actually indicate this, but it is very difficult to decide at the moment and of course we would be very (!) relieved about this. But we must always beware of illusions: the fact remains that the warmongers of the S/R gang have their eyes firmly set on the target and Netanyahu or Zelensky, under their cover (or on their orders), may start further provocations at any time and be sure of manoeuvring Trump into a tight military spot once again. And independently of how destructive the American attacks on the Iranian nuclear facilities really were, Trump would have been better off refraining from these attacks with reference to his head of the Secret Service, who did not publicly confirm any evidence of a military nuclear programme, and pulled Netanyahu back like he did, thank God, after the US bombing in breach of the ceasefire imposed by Trump by Israel (upon which the controlled provocateur promptly back-pedalled, for now at least).

Now, one week after the events, it appears as if Trump has reached for the military hammer – the heaviest below the atomic threshold – in order to set an exclamation mark aimed at the impudent provocateurs and obstructers in Israel and Europe: thus speaks the Lord, and that’s enough now. That has worked until now, but if he has gambled, he has gambled “bigly”. And he has done this in flagrant breach of international law, to which even Iran, no matter your opinion of it, has a right of recourse (in this context, one should not forget that Trump demanded “unconditional surrender” from the attacked country after Israel’s first strikes; this is a monstrosity on its own, let alone the bestial murder of 14 Iranian scientists). In any case, state sovereignty remains an inalienable right, even though this right has been trodden down since the downfall of the Eastern Bloc in the ugly, routine US fashion. By doing this, Trump has contaminated himself a little; this ugly stain will unfortunately remain on his jacket. But ultimately, of course, it is the result that counts: if Trump, who is unquestionably under immense pressure on all domestic and international political fronts, succeeds in the truly Herculean task of stopping the warmongers of the S/R gang and their vassals and puppets, then hope really would return to the world.

We recommend our flyer WAR AGAINST IRAN: Not in our Name! dated 2/2/2012 and the article
The WTC-Substitute from the Gaza Strip from October 2023.

We have, both online and in Issues 249 and 250 of Ketzerbriefe, reported on the putsch in Romania (1) (not by a military junta, but by a judicial body eliminating the constitution), i.e. the two raids carried out by the so-called “Constitutional Court” (=VGH) in Bucharest: on the one hand the MEP Diana Şoşoacă was unconstitutionally excluded from the presidential elections on 5 October 2024 because she was against the EU and NATO (to which there is, of course, no reference in the constitution), and on the other, the entire presidential elections were annulled on 6 December 2024 because of the unwelcome result, which meant the election victory of the until then unknown champion of the sovereignty of Romania and opponent of any further military support for Ukraine, Călin Georgescu, was prevented. However, the “Sovereignists” – as Călin Georgescu, George Simion’s AUR (Alliance for the Unification of all Romanians) and Anamaria Gavrila’s POT (Young People’s Party) call themselves – in contrast to the arbitrary state of the "Sorosists" and “globalists”, as they fittingly designate the Romanian henchmen of the 400 giga-rich American families and their leader Soros and their subservient EU weasels – only protested rather powerlessly against the first constitutional violation with a brief statement condemning the suppression of Şoşoacă instead of calling on the rightly outraged people to take to the streets.( 2) The other side, of course, immediately turned the knife again by annulling the entire presidential elections on 6 December 2024 via the “Constitutional” Court (which meant that the run-off between the best-placed candidates did not take place). Even after this second coup, Simion foolishly told people to keep off the streets and remain calm, which meant him disqualifying himself as a suitable champion of the restoration of a Romanian state of law and order.

But the Romanian people did not let this hold them back, and so, on 12 January 2025, tens of thousands of supporters of Georgescu demonstrated in front of the government seat in Bucharest (in which the “Constitutional” Court also resides) and demanded the immediate repeat of the run-off. Notwithstanding this the Sorosist government announced that the re-run of the annulled presidential election would take place on 4 May 2025.

Even when Călin Georgescu was arrested on 26 February 2025 on the way to submitting his application to stand for the election rerun and was only released, and then on humiliating conditions  (3), after many protests, by both the other Sovereignist leaders and thousands of his supporters, the Romanian people were fierce and determined: More than 100,000 Romanians, based domestically and abroad, about a third of whom were younger than 30, took part in an impressive protest march to the government seat on 1 March, 2025 and presented a united front against the putschist vassal regime: “New elections now!”, “Călin Georgescu is the President!”, “We’ll die, we’ll die for Călin!”, “Predoiu [=Interior Minister], ignore us at your peril!”, “Get Soros out of our country!”, “Traitors!”, “Rise up, Romania!”, “If we stick together we’ll get rid of the criminals!” Unfortunately, the podium speeches were lame (4), and there were absolutely no instructions to inform the people what they should do next; Simion merely hyper-intelligently announced that there was a “Plan B”. Then there was complete silence from the party leadership for days.

Six days later, on 7 March 2025  (5), Georgescu, accompanied by Simion and Gavrila and numerous supporters that had gathered in front of the Central Electoral Office, finally submitted his application to stand for the election rerun together with more than 324,000 signatures from supporters.  On the evening of 9 March 2025 the Central Electoral Office suppressed the admission of Georgescu to the election once again with the justification, among other things, that someone who had been the cause of the cancellation of the previous election should under no circumstances be allowed to stand again… And then they curse the Third Reich, which was just as cynical but could not have been more cynical than this…

All day, several hundred at first, then several thousand people demonstrated for Georgescu’s admission in front of the Central Election Office, which was sealed off by a massive police presence. When the crowd reacted with angry but peaceful protests against the suppression of Georgescu’s candidacy (amongst other things by singing: "We’re not leaving here, we’re not going home until freedom has been won!” and slogans such as: "We’re not giving in!" and "We don’t want to be ruled by criminals!"), the state apparatus pulled troublemakers out of their long-prepared top hat and its heavily armed police had the peaceful Georgescu supporters, who were trying to escape, surrounded and chased through the streets, with batons and tear gas deployed. The dull reaction of the Sovereignist leaders to this act of violence was Simion announcing a telephone conversation with Georgescu for the following day: “And then we’ll do what Georgescu says”. His solution that next day was to exhaust “all democratic means” (but where is democracy when the people are no longer allowed to vote for whomever they want? And what, apart from the election of a determined opposition, is this “democratic means” supposed to be, if there are no referendums, i.e. no original democracy, anyway? What “democratic means” would there be to help against Hitler or Pinochet, for instance?!). Oh... he meant going to the “VGH”, which had just violated the constitution  – which is, incidentally, not a “democratic” means, but merely a legal one. As was to be expected, two days later the Bucharest cynics rejected Georgescu’s appeal against the suppression of his participation in the election rerun by referring to the putsch against Şoşoacă, i.e. they justified the new constitutional violation with the previous one. Then the Sovereignists literally left the protesting people out in the rain: several thousand people, who despite having their ID cards checked and photographed in front of the “Constitutional” Court, which was surrounded by double rows of armed police, demanded that Georgescu be admitted to the election, remained in helpless anger at the news of this repeated constitutional violation. Upon this, hooded special units (B.S.I.J. = Brigada Specială de Intervenție a Jandarmeriei) marched up and encircled the crowd, preventing any of them from leaving, while further armed police units stood ready for action in countless police vans in front of and at the parliamentary building. But the demonstrators stood firm and did not disperse even when confronted by this act of violence; this did not happen until much later, because neither Georgescu, Simion nor Gavrila wanted to speak to the crowd...

Later that evening, Georgescu turned to the people via Facebook, in order to quintessentially announce, in a kind of farewell speech, that his task had been to shake up the Romanian people so that it could take its fate into its own hands. Oh, yes, indeed… Now that this mission had been fulfilled, he would like to say thank you and that it had been an honour to fight alongside the Romanian people. Those who know will certainly now be reminded of the final scene of “Life of Brian”, in which the “Liberation Front” fighters take their leave from him as he is hanging on the cross. Although the Sovereignists had already been discussing whether Simion should stand for election instead of him at this time, Georgescu left it to “the conscience of each individual as to whether he wanted to support another candidate”, which meant that he was de facto leaving the (shaky) united front. On the evening before, in particular, at the last mutual appearance of Georgescu, Simion and Gavrila, Georgescu seemed very groggy, pale, worried and inwardly absent. Since he has since then withdrawn himself completely from the public eye and seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth, there is a distinct suspicion that by withdrawing he has given in to a massive threat. If this is the case, the only upright thing to do would have been to make this blackmail public instead of leaving his supporters, or rather the fighters for the sovereignty of Romania, in the lurch. As the leader of a political movement, you cannot just say “farewell” when the opposition doesn’t stick to the “rules of the game” and moves on to open violence (we've seen it all before; it’s by no means unexpected). And anyone who does not want to be as strong and goal-orientated as his opponents must not start the fight, because nothing has such a devastating and demoralising effect as disappointed hope.

The next day Simion and Gavrila announced that they had both, in agreement with Georgescu, decided to submit their applications to stand for election so that in case one of them were suppressed there would at least still be one representative of the Sovereignists to vote for; but if both were accepted, one of them would withdraw his candidacy because this election was not about the policies of their parties but about the restoration of democracy and the rule of law. Should that candidate be victorious, Georgescu, who has actually already been voted president, would take up “a position in keeping with his importance", they said. That was ok, without doubt. Since both candidates now required 200,000 supporting signatures from people entitled to vote for their candidacy, but the closing date for this was already just three days later, 15 March 2025 at 24:00 hours, they called upon everyone inside and outside of Romania to mobilise forces in order to gather the necessary signatures in this extremely short space of time. After the helpless rage and desperation of the day before, the people followed the call gratefully and promptly: in Italy, for example, the vote collectors met on the motorway and handed the signatures to a Romanian woman who then flew to Bucharest that night; in Vienna, people signed in Romanian grocery stores, etc.; this concentrated effort by all forces meant that after just two days, on 14 March 2025, Simion was able to submit his application to the Central Election Office with 640,000 signatures and Gavrila a day later with more than 400,000 signatures. Just compare this to the spineless Germans who allow themselves to be wound up and plundered without any resistance!

The Romanian people fighting for their sovereignty, even after Georgescu’s withdrawal, were determined to resist the violence, but the crowd that accompanied Simion and Gavrila to the submission of their applications was, as was to be expected, much smaller than was the case before with Georgescu; they also shouted almost exclusively just two slogans: “New elections now!” and “Georgescu is President!” But increasingly we also heard people say - demoralisation was clearly spreading - that they would not be taking part in the next presidential election because it was illegal anyway.

While the “Constitutional” Court nodded Simion’s and Gavrila’s applications through on 16 and 19 March 2025 respectively, the candidacy of Diana Şoşoacă was once again rejected on 17 March 2025 with reference to the first act of violence carried out against her in October 2024. Wearing boxing gloves, she had submitted her application with over 200,000 signatures on 11 March 2025 and as she did so, she severely criticised the exclusion of Georgescu, although she did not hide the fact that she was - rightly - furious at him and all the other Sovereignists who had not protested after she had been excluded on 5 October 2024. On the day of the ruling by the Bucharest cynics, Şoşoacă appeared along with several members of their party S.O.S. in black mourning clothes bearing a wreath with a ribbon on it fittingly saying: "The day democracy was executed". They demanded to be admitted; when this was denied them they hung the wreath on the door of the “Constitutional” Court, struck up a dirge and held small protest banners in the air which amongst other things depicted an executioner beheading democracy with his axe. And once again: “Thinking of Germany at night puts all thoughts of sleep to flight...”

On 20 March 2025, one day after Simion and Gavrila had been accepted for participation in the presidential elections, masked special units raided and searched the apartments of 19 Georgescu supporters throughout Romania, analogously to the ban on COMPACT in front of the cameras of the previously informed compliant media (Antena 3, CNN etc.). Here, several persons were arrested, such as the Romanian influencer Bogdan Peşchir, who was subsequently dragged off to Bucharest by special units under all kinds of humiliating conditions (among other things, the police forced him to take off his peaked cap and sunglasses and pull down the collar of his pullover, which he had turned up, in front of the baying mob of media hyenas, so that pogromists would easily be able to recognise him in future). He was then remanded in custody on the charge of having “bribed” people to vote for Georgescu during his TikTok appearances, which is crazy nonsense. How online “bribery” is supposed to have worked in 30-second clips in practical terms remains a secret known only to the henchmen of the judiciary, because the only purpose of this arbitrary act was to cover this constitutional violation over with some kind of “foreign interference” and pick out individual supporters in a a terrorist fashion and condemn them in front of the baying media mob.

Since both Simion and Gavrila were now eligible for the election rerun, they came to an agreement to the effect that Gavrila will withdraw from the election so that only one representative of the united front of the Sovereignists will stand. All the polls assume that Simion will enter the run-off as the winner of the first round of voting, and so he has warned promptly on numerous occasions - and rightly so - that from now on there is a massive threat of election fraud on the part of the Sorosists, especially in the run-off; he has called for international election observers to be sent to the country in May. He would admittedly have been better served by mobilising the people like Trump did, because it should not be too difficult to work out what “international election observers” that are tethered to the EU are going to “observe”.

But the opposition still has some terror cards to play: the judiciary apparatus has already initiated criminal proceedings against Simion for “incitement against institutions of the state”. He faces criminalisation and prison - and how that works in Romania is sufficiently known from the Inquisition trials against Gregorian Bivolaru (see on this site and Ketzerbriefe Issues 128, 130, 181, 198, 200 and 206). But on the other hand he is suddenly being courted by the truth press: shortly after Georgescu’s election ban, interviews with Simion appeared in seemingly benevolent Western Bloc journalists in the Daily Telegraph, the Financial Times, the France Soir, the Washington Post and Le Monde among others - this phenomenon is called “sandwiching” in American media jargon. However, this side never had interviews with Georgescu: instead, there was the unison chanting of the shrill mantra of "far-right Putin crony" whenever silencing didn’t quite work. It is to be feared that following on from the sadly weakened and broken original, Simion will now also be softened or, failing that, eliminated in a cold, “judicial” way.

Since the European governments, as lackeys of the Soros-Rockefeller gang, are trying to force a war with Russia even at the cost of a few European Hiroshimas, they will prevent a Romanian government, and therefore one of a front-line state, that refuses to join in with this, by all means necessary.( 6) This is why the resistance of the Romanian people and above all their struggle for the sovereignty of their country must be broken at all costs. The steadfastness of the Romanian people deserves the highest of praise (similarly to the American people in the last presidential election)! But it is not organised, and its involuntary, and certainly illusion-filled leaders want to oppose the unjust nation on the legally set official channels as much as possible, strike the sails at the merest gust of wind and call for moderation rather than determination among the protestors who are, after all, willing to sacrifice a great deal, instead of at least going into exile in either Hungary or, even better, the US (which would certainly take them in now and from where they could damage the EU quislings of their country much better than they could from its prison cells). This means that the people have been betrayed and sold out and will, sooner or later, dissipate in disappointment and resignation under the pressure of the continued violence. The ongoing violations of the Romanian constitution can in any case not be reversed with such timid and feeble people’s representatives at the helm, and the European precedent of suppressing the participation of uncomfortable presidential candidates in elections is being used as a model (even if it was not already a contrived pioneering act in a border state), as the example of Le Pen in France shows. If the Romanian leaders had been as determined and uncompromising as Saddam Hussein or even Lenin, the Romanian resistance really could have been the spanner in the works of the sinister machinations of the gang and a role model for the rest of Europe. The demoralisation that is presumably to come will lead to there being nothing left but to start again from scratch, with a slogan of Lenin’s – “patiently explain”!

(1) See "What is going on in Romania?" Parts 1 and 2. We prefix the previous constitutional violations and their consequences here briefly for the purposes of clarity, which does, however, make some overlaps inevitable.
(2) So the principle of "Resist the Beginnings" was unfortunately as far away from them as it was from the German people in 1972 in regard to the berufsverbots (occupational bans) ordered by state saint Willy Brandt, with which the whole deprivation of rights and disdain for the constitution began in Germany.
(3) He has to register with the police every week, report every change of residence and present himself immediately if he is summoned by an authority, is not allowed to possess a weapon and must not make any statements in public or on social media that are “fascist”, “racist”, “anti-Semitic”, “xenophobic” etc., but what constitutes a statement of this kind is, of course, determined randomly by the lying press or the state prosecutor…
(4) One exception is the fighting speech by the chairman of the Bulgarian party “Rebirth”, Kostadin Kostadinow, who reported on the ban of a referendum initiated by his party against the introduction of the euro in 2026, the demonstrations against the ban, and the introduction of the euro itself and thereby called for cooperation among all the democratic forces, also internationally. Have you heard about this in the truth press?
(5) On 6 March 2025 the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg rejected Georgescu’s complaint against Romania regarding the annulment of the presidential elections with the crazy justification that it was only responsible for parliamentary elections! Since when have civil rights been restricted to parliamentary elections?!? Just two AfD MEPs also condemned the putsch with appropriate severity, incidentally, but most of the EU talking shop refused to even put the topic on the agenda – silence is golden, or at least worth thirty pieces of silver.
(6) This means that the war-hungry Western European governments would seem to find only one thing about Hitler and his "Operation Barbarossa" that is bad: that he acted on his own and for the ruling class of his country and not on the orders of foreign armies from overseas. Otherwise there is no distinction - or can you find one?

This article was written before the mutilated Romanian elections, whose result was difficult to predict, but now Simion has received 41% of the vote in the first round, nearly twice as many as the next EU bondsman candidate. So it will be interesting to see if the run-off or the entire election will be annulled, although a government against 41% of the voters requires a genuine dictatorship. Or will a half-hearted, bribed opposition candidate or even one who was fake from the start betray the people in the long term? Let's see what the result is, but it will to an extent be less interesting than its backstory.

After the first major electoral success of the oppositional party Rassemblement National (RN), which has been defamed and discriminated against for decades and has even been cut off from standard bank loans, the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris (comparable to a county court in Germany) has now, on March 31 2025, passed a scandalous judgement against this party, which criminalises it in an unprecedented manner and, if it is not lifted, means nothing less than the end of free elections in our neighbouring country:

Persistent breach of constitution in advance of the Romanian presidential election and the hunting down of democratic demonstrators. What the “truthful press” is not reporting: In Issue 249 of the KETZERBRIEFE we documented the putschist conditions in Romania: on the one hand the presidential candidacy of Diana Şoşoacă was rejected by the electoral commission with the purely political and therefore naturally inadmissible justification that an opponent of NATO and the EU must not be allowed to become the state president of Romania, and on the other the election that subsequently took place without her candidacy was annulled because the presidential candidate the people had given the most votes to, the previously largely unknown Călin Georgescu, whose main demand was the immediate cessation of support for Ukraine, did not suit EU policy as guided by the US mega capital.

Constitutional Court makes a mockery of the constitution – The perversion of the presidential elections 
On 5 October 2024, the Romanian Constitutional Court, in a mockery of the constitution of its country, denied the Romanian MEP and chairwoman of the oppositional party Partidul S.O.S. Româ­nia, the lawyer Diana Șoșoacă, the right to stand for the presidential election on 24 November 2024 because of her political views. In summary, this court proclaimed: An opponent of NATO and the EU such as Șoșoacă must on no account be allowed to become state president; her candidature alone would threaten the irrevocable “integration of Romania into the Euro-Atlantic structures”. This “integration”, i.e. the subjugation of the country to the rule of the “four hundred families” of the USA (analogous to the approximately 400 Roman senators of, say, Numidia or a Greek pseudo-state that the empire had subsumed to its “sphere of influence”), supersedes the constitution of the country that has been absorbed, and that’s all there is to it!!

Curtea Constituțională batjocorește Constituția – Perversiunea alegerilor prezidențiale

Interzicerea candidaturii europarlamentarei Diana Șoșoacă la alegerile prezidențiale din 2024. Batjocurind Constituția țării, Curtea Constituțională a României (CCR) a privat-o europarlamentara română și conducătoarea Partidului opoziției S.O.S. România, avocata Diana Șoșoacă, pe 5 octombrie 2024 de dreptul de a candida la alegerile prezidențiale din 24 noiembrie 2024 pe motivul opiniilor sale politice. În rezumat, CCR proclama că o opozantă NATO și UE precum Șoșoacă nu trebuie să devină președinte sub nicio formă, deoarece doar candidatura ei ar amenința „integrarea irevocabilă a României în structurile euro-atlantice”. Această „integrare”, adică, în limbaj simplu, subjugarea țării la dominația celor „400 de familii” din SUA (analogă cu cea a celor aproximativ 400 de senatori romani asupra, de exemplu, Numidiei sau a unui stat pseudo-grecesc pe care imperiul îl adăugase în „sfera sa de influență”) este mai presus de Constituția absorbitei țări, și cu asta basta! De altfel, doar „integrarea României în structurile euro-atlantice” îi poate „garanta” existența sa statală – nu a existat România înainte?! – și îl obliga pe președintele său să respecte și să protejeze apartenența la UE și NATO. Astfel, la alegerile prezidențiale trebuie să fie admiși doar acei candidați care, fără nicio îndoială, asigură îndeplinirea acestei obligații.  (1)

Această negare a dreptului de vot garantat în Constituție înseamnă desființarea dreptului de vot. Dacă poporul nu are voie să voteze pe cine dorește, atunci nu are voie să voteze deloc. (2) Numai reglementările formale privind candidatura sunt permise (de exemplu, privind depunerea la timp a candidaturii și altele asemănătoare). În România acestea sunt: cetățenia română a candidatului, depunerea a cel puțin 200 000 de semnături de alegători eligibili în sprijinul candidaturii (aceasta sunt peste 1% din alegătorii eligibili – pe care mai întâi trebuie să le aduni ca și candidat individual sau ca un nou partid de opoziție, încă mic), fără activitate în fosta poliție secretă „Securitatea”, vârsta minimă de 35 de ani, sănătate mintală și fără condamnare definitivă la o pedeapsă cu închisoarea în cursul căreia dreptul de a candida este revocat pentru o anumită perioadă încă neexpirată în ziua alegerilor. Aceasta este suficient de restrictivă, dar este totul.

By electing the new president, the American people have defeated the monopoly capitalists – a hard struggle, and it will take a long time, and the obstructions will be wild and tough, just like Allende, Emperor Julian (who wanted to restore freedom of religion) and the tribune Gaius Gracchus. We admire all his rapid measures that are having the monopoly capitalists, who are in charge of the world press, foaming at the mouth.

But Trump is committing an evil deed and making a grave error with the unfair treatment of the Palestinian people. We would appeal to him:

With his election victory, achieved against the roaring, world-wide orchestrated multi-billion dollar media of the US ruling class—called “the swamp” by their local opponents, “the Good Club” by themselves—, with Donald Trump, who defied attempted assassination, attempted electoral fraud and a delirious judiciary in the service of this “Good Club”, the US American people won against their own ruling class (who saw the time coming to establish the first total world domination and then to reduce both, wages and living standards to the lowest possible world level also for the US people). For the time being, Trump's steadfastness has screwed this up, but above all, the incipient development of antibodies against the brain infection by the one-size-fits-all media of the US ruling class. Unfortunately, the Europeans are far away from this; they still are fully occupied by the hypnosis of the S/R gang, respectively under the S/R controlled one-size-fits-all media. An awakening of the people from this media hypnosis has only just begun in the USA, just as the awakening of many Europeans from their Catholic hypnosis only began at the time of the Reformation and then in the Age of Enlightenment.

Our today's Europeans, as inhabitants of the “showcase of the West”, i.e. the US-directed military bloc, trained to eat ideological bullshit for a very long time (because they were able to look down on the near Eastern bloc, which remained unattractive due to military overload, and allowed them to rise above it with stupid pride), are only very, very slowly and clumsily waking up from their decades-long hypnosis, and the brownies of the S/R gang (“The Good Club”), respectively the local rulers, who own or control all the media, from the Springer Group to the news magazine DER SPIEGEL, are getting nervous, tripping over with hysteria and war obsession in favor of their masters and are therefore heading straight for a new totalitarianism whose completeness is in none below to that of Hitler and Theodosius II, i.e. the mature Christian antiquity. But also the US people, for the time being freed from the worst nightmarish pressures, are facing difficult battles; may they keep their wits and consistency and fight every lie in time!

The now published ruling of the Federal Administrative Court dated 14 August 2024 (BVerwG 6VR 1.24) shows that it is no point in talking of a “victory for freedom of the press” having been achieved here. On the contrary: the court ruling is paving the way to abolishing freedom of the press:

As we have already said, the court has expressly signed off on the legal trick of the Ministry of Internal Affairs which mendaciously turns the press company COMPACT into an "association" and then, in breach of Article 5 of the German Basic Law – freedom of the press! – ­banning it in accordance with association law. This means that the door is open to the censorship and destruction of any oppositional publication. The groundbreaking, and in reality extremely evil, importance of the ruling lies in this main idea, which is why the court has exclusively put precisely this fundamental point at the forefront of its decision as an "official guiding principle": "The banning of an association ...  can also be decreed as an instrument of ´preventative constitutional protection´(!) ... against media organisations." – this is a blatant instruction manual for future censorship!

In accordance with the court ruling, in the ongoing procedure to ban COMPACT the (secret) police may, expressly before returning the "secured and confiscated evidence and property” (i.e. secured on their raids), “create hard copies of documents (files, bank statements etc.) and electronic storage media (including computers and laptops with internal drives, notebooks, tablets and external drives, memory sticks, memory cards, NAS storage, SD cards, DVDs, CDs) and analyse mobile telephones and SIM cards."

Because the procedure to ban COMPACT is, of course, ongoing!

Finally, only for the application of COMPACT-Magazin GmbH as the editor of COMPACT – as legalese would have it – was the delaying effect of the appeal against the ban provisionally restored. All further applications were rejected! Those of the film production company and those of Jürgen Elsässer, his wife and all his other colleagues who had also all been attacked in their private apartments! For this reason the court has obscenely decided that these victims of raid and censorship will have to pay most of the considerable court costs and even the costs of the Ministry of Law Enforcement themselves!

Our demands remain unchanged: 

The complete restoration of freedom of the press and freedom of information!

The reversal of the Compact ban in regards to both the magazine and the YouTube channel COMPACT-TV!

The immediate return of the confiscated production equipment and other assets (accounts, cash and private property)!

The deletion of all the stolen data and information in the possession of the secret police!

The complete rehabilitation of and compensation for the COMPACT team!

The German Federal Administrative Court partially suspended the immediate enforcement of the COMPACT ban today, which means that the magazine (the YouTube channel, COMPACT-TV, is not mentioned in the court’s press release) can be published again temporarily.

We would like to congratulate Jürgen Elsässer and his colleagues on this partial victory in the fight for freedom of the press and freedom of information!

However, we must not overlook the fact that according to its press release (the decision itself has not yet been announced), the German Federal Administrative Court has no qualms about the truly scandalous legal trick of simply redefining a press company or a publishing house as an “association” and then banning it in accordance with association law, which means that there will allegedly have been no breach of the constitution, i.e. the blatant violation of Art 5 German Basic Law ("Freedom of the press and freedom of reporting by means of broadcasts and films shall be guaranteed. There shall be no censorship.").

If this unconstitutional tort is not rejected in no uncertain terms, the doors to the censorship and destruction of any “undesirable” publication will be thrown wide open.

For this reason our demand remains:

 The complete restoration of freedom of the press and freedom of information!

The reversal of the Compact ban in regards to both the magazine and the YouTube channel COMPACT-TV!

The immediate return of the confiscated production equipment and other assets (accounts, cash and private property)!

The complete rehabilitation of and compensation for the COMPACT team!

We wish to protest in the strongest possible terms against the monstrous ban on COMPACT Magazine, COMPACT-TV and the police raids on Jürgen Elsässer and his colleagues, who made use of their right to freedom of speech that is guaranteed in our constitution:

German Basic Law, Art 5 Para 1:
Every person shall have the right freely to express and disseminate his opinions in speech, writing and pictures, and to inform himself without hindrance from generally accessible sources. Freedom of the press and freedom of reporting by means of broadcasts and films shall be guaranteed. There shall be no censorship.

Compare the following official statements for yourself:

1) Press release from the Federal Ministry of the Interior on 16/07/2024:
Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser: "Today I have banned the right-wing extremist "COMPACT-Magazin". It is a central mouthpiece of the right-wing extremist scene. This magazine hounds Jews, people of migrant descent and our parliamentary democracy in an unspeakable way.
Our ban is a heavy blow to the right-wing extremist scene. The ban shows that we are also prepared to go after the ‘intellectual arsonists’ who promote hate and violence against refugees and migrants and aim to overcome our democratic state. Our signal is quite clear: We will not allow the definition of who belongs to Germany and who does not to be defined in ethnic terms. Our constitutional state will protect all those who are exposed to hostility because of their faith, their origin, their colour or their democratic stance.
I would like to thank the security authorities both on a national and federal level for their closely coordinated, consistent measures. I would especially like to thank the emergency forces who have been searching various properties since the early hours of this morning."

2) The German Federal Agency for Civic Education (Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung/bpb) on the Nazis’ Editors’ Law of 4 October 1933:
“The Editors’ Law, which had already been passed by the cabinet on 4 October 1933 and come into effect on 1 January 1934, changed the work of Germany’s journalists fundamentally. It was the crucial instrument of National Socialist media control - but not the first step.
Soon after the government led by newly appointed Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler came to office on 30 January 1933, the National Socialists began their policy of the enforced conformity of societies, associations and institutions. The aim was to take control of societal life as a whole. This also applied to the media.
In terms of National Socialist policies, one had to "either say a clear yes or a clear no, and this yes or no would not tolerate any ifs or buts", propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels had already said in a speech to foreign press representatives on 6 April 1933. "The intellectual forces of German journalism that commit themselves to a ‘Yes’ can be certain to receive the most cordial of material and non-material support from the government."
The social democratic and hard left-orientated party press of the SPD and KPD had already been banned by the Nazi regime after the Reichstag fire in February 1933. What the National Socialists were still missing was a legal means of dealing with the bourgeois press. This function was fulfilled by the Editors’ Law.” (German Federal Agency for Civic Education on the purpose of historical clarification, 29/12/2018)
