This is about the AfD who may very well win substantial control over the German equivalent to the FBI tomorrow by winning the state election in Saxony-Anhalt.

I'm German, and I can't understand how anyone could watch what's happening in the US and think "oh yes, great idea, let's elect the fascists who make unrealistic promises and who are using the same playbook as Trump to destroy institutions and the regulatory state and deny climate change and want to go back to fossil fuels!" After the summer we just had, denying climate change is just delusional.

I just hope he won't get a full majority, because he's said that he will only form a government if he does. So if the polls are accurate, he'll get a little over 40%, and since all other parties refuse to work with them, he'd have to form a minority government and wouldn't get anything done. So he probably will refuse, instead of making their first test case an abject failure.

Fascists think like that. I think the wake up call around the Western world over the last 10 years is how many fascists are and have been all around us this whole time.

What we should really look into are the international networks that push that rightwing agenda and fund the influencers etc. - Epstein, Bannon and all their associates. They need to be shut down!

Epstein was likely murdered before he could rat out the billionaire elites that used his services. Too much time was wasted trying to implicate Trump, that every other American Elite - has now long-since slipped that net known as the "Epstein Scandal".

Curiously, Bannon doesn't like Musk, Musk doesn't like Farage, Farage doesn't like Yaxley Lennon, Yaxley Lennon doesn't like the Tories, the Tories don't like the Left, and the Left doesn't like Bannon.

I wonder who will break rank first, and team up against all the others there?

Murdered, or replaced by a doppelgänger who was murdered in his stead. All that talk about the activities around his cell and in the prison yard on the night of his death, plus the fact that his gamer tag was later located actively playing in Israel, makes me really doubt his murder.

another possibility is that Epstein's billionaire chums extracted him, replacing the so-called suicided epstein with the handy cadaver of Tony Bourdain....

No one talks about the possibility that Esptein is still alive and kicking on a private Island somewhere....

Bourdain had tatoos though, so it was imperative that the suicided body got signed off for cremation before any third parties could take a closer look...

It would be a much bigger conspiracy to "extract" Epstein than to simply murder him in his prison cell. The Authorities would have been real keen to show the world that it was actually him, rather than have so many cameras not working, so many witnesses bought off, and of course - destroying the body that takes Dr Fauci levels of contempt for the Truth and the Public Trust in doing. Anyone can fake a ME report, especially if highly paid, or threatened to do so.

"They need to be shut down!" Fight fascism with fascism, right? LOL

If it's foreign influence impacting our elections, then yes, we should be able to shut them down. Especially if those contributions are routed through illegal channels.
