AfD started as a small anti euro party barely missing a seat in parliament. Today, it's Germany's most successful far right party since the Nazi era. 🇩🇪 The real turning point came with Frauke Petry. She argued that immigration was not simply an economic issue, but a much broader... show more

Britains culture is being destroyed by immigration and its enablers on the left. When they eventually realise that the freedoms they enjoy are gone...it will be too late to get them out.

Adolf Hitler war ein Sozialist und Nationalist. Für mich klingt es eher nach links und konservativ. Die Linksgrünen sind die Nazis today. Hier kennt keiner die wahre Vergangenheit.

🇩🇪 AfD: MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH‼️ German intelligence officially classified the AfD as FAR-RIGHT EXTREMIST in 2025. A BANNING procedure against the AfD has already been initiated - they want to ELIMINATE the AfD. But now the verdict was overturned! This will make it much harder to ban the MOST POPULAR party in Germany. We are legally proven defenders of democracy.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: GERMAN AfD LEADER: “THE GERMAN PEOPLE DO NOT WANT WAR AGAINST RUSSIA — WE NEED A NEW EUROPEAN SECURITY ORDER WITH RUSSIA AS PARTNER” 🔥🇩🇪🤝🇷🇺 German AfD co-leader Tino Chrupalla stated that Germans reject war with Russia and called for a new European security system that includes Russia as a partner instead of an enemy. Real European voices are finally rejecting the suicidal anti-Russia policies pushed by globalist elites. We are not obliged to destroy our economies and security by turning Russia into an eternal enemy. We have the right to demand peace and pragmatic cooperation with our neighbours. In Germany, the rising right-wing AfD party is openly calling for an end to confrontation with Russia and a new security order that treats Moscow as a partner. This reflects growing public fatigue with the war in Ukraine and the economic damage caused by anti-Russian policies. Similar sentiments are rising across Europe. Soon they will take over and the countries that blindly supported endless war in Ukraine will stand alone.

Angela Merkel was the person responsible for destroying Germany's energy independence, disconnecting Germany's nuclear power and instead making it reliant on Putin's gas. Merkel was the person who cracked down on online and real life free speech like no other politician before her and set a precedent for other European politicians. Merkel was the person who opened Germany's and Europe's borders and allowed ANYONE who wanted to come without any checks which resulted in countless of terror attacks and tragedies to this day. Merkel's unhinged policies led to the rise of the Nazi party in Germany, the AfD, which is now the most popular party in Germany. And of course Merkel was the person who helped the Putin regime arm itself and launch its invasion of Ukraine which caused the biggest war in Europe since WW2 and which had a direct huge negative impact on Europe and the world at large. Everyone, but the imbeciles who were brainwashed by the German and pro EU media, knew in real time that Angela Merkel was the worst German and European leader post WW2. And yet today today, The former German chancellor received the new "European Order of Merit" in the EU parliament. Nothing symbolizes more how disconnected the people running the EU are from Europe.

🚨 BREAKING: In 2023, Germany reached a 15-year record high for violent crime with 214,099 cases-- an 8.6% increase from 2022. 14% of Germany's population are foreigners yet they committed 41% of the violent crime (up from 37.4% in 2022, and 33.8% the year before), with 75% of their victims being Germans... Germany is now the 3rd largest refugee-hosting country in the world behind Iran & Turkey, with 13.9 million total foreigners in Germany as of 2023. Yet, 2/3rds of Germans believe immigration causes problems, while barely 1/4 believe it brings benefits, leading many Germans to place their hope and votes in the AfD party: a "far-right" populist party that's anti-immigration. As many Germans believe their culture is being degraded, their generosity exploited, and their safety jeopardized, in September 2024: the AfD party made history by winning a regional election in the state of Thuringia as the first "far-right" party to win since the Nazis, leading many people to label them and their supporters "far-right", "fascist", "racist", "Neo-Nazis". Is it "far-right" to want safety? Is it "far-right" to be proud of your national heritage? And is it "far-right" to want your country put first? I went to Germany myself to see what they think...

Germany's Chancellor Merz: People tell me: "Why don't you work together with the AfD? They agree with you on many issues. You would have a majority in the German Bundestag." I will not do that. And there is a very simple reason. This party wants to take Germany back to the time before Adenauer. With Adenauer, we left the age of nationalism behind us in Germany. And I will not lead the Federal Republic of Germany—and I will not lead my party—back behind the era of Adenauer.

🇩🇪 Merz and Weidel erupt into a heated clash in the Bundestag AfD leader Alice Weidel repeatedly heckled Chancellor Friedrich Merz from her seat as he compared her anti-immigration agenda to ethnic cleansing and warned it could effectively paralyze Germany — with one in six skilled workers in the country being foreign-born. “Not a single nursing home would stay open, not a single hospital in Germany would be able to function, not a single restaurant,” Merz said. Weidel fired back: “Mr. Merz, Germans are not too lazy to work. They simply see that hard work doesn’t pay because an unfair tax system takes everything away from them.” Merz was speaking after his party’s bruising defeat to the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt, where the far-right party scored a sweeping victory on an anti-immigration platform.

AfD leader Alice Weidel: “Hitler was a communist. He considered himself as a socialist. They nationalized all the private companies and asked for huge taxes. The biggest success of our country was to label Adolf Hitler as a conservative or a libertarian, he was not. He was a communist socialist guy. Full stop. AfD is the exact opposite. It’s a conservative libertarian party. Hitler was not on the right. Hitler played with people’s envy against each other. That was a socialist weapon. He was nothing other than an anti-Semitic socialist.”

#WATCH | Delhi | Congress leader Sachin Pilot says, "In the 1971 war, America said that we are deploying the 7th Fleet in the Bay of Bengal, but despite that, our leader, Indira Gandhi, did what was in the supreme national interest. Today, we remember her as a leader for whom national interest was supreme. Even during the parliament attack, when Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the PM and Sonia Gandhi was the LoP, she said that the opposition is with the governmnet... This time as well, the opposition supported the government, but the way the ceasefire was announced by the US was an attempt to internationalise a bilateral issue."

Dear 𝕏, THANK YOU for supporting the FREE SPEECH opposition AfD 🇩🇪 and my battle against the LYING media. In response to my activism, Alice Weidel and Elon Musk will now host a SPACE to discuss the truth about the AfD. It would be an honor to assist you! Elon Musk has done his research extremely thoroughly over the past months and would never associate with a “far-right extremist” party the way it is portrayed in the media. Now they claim he is too short-sighted and missing the real NAZl undertones within the AfD - this is a lie. But YOU get the chance to form your own opinion in the upcoming 𝕏 Space! German guilt was tearing us apart. Today I am proud to be fighting for Germany. 🇩🇪

🇩🇪 ALICE WEIDEL IS EMERGING AS ONE OF EUROPE'S MOST FORMIDABLE POLITICAL FIGURES. Re-elected as leader of the AfD, Alice Weidel continues to build momentum at a time when many Germans are questioning the country's direction on the economy, energy, migration and national sovereignty. A trained economist, she has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to challenge political opponents and legacy media interviewers with detailed arguments and composure under pressure. Despite fierce opposition, protests and attempts to marginalize her party, support for the AfD has continued to grow. If that trend continues, Alice Weidel could become Germany's next Chancellor. The next chapter of German politics may be closer than many in the establishment are willing to admit. 🇩🇪 Alice Weidel

Yesterday in Dublin at the Jewish Anti-Zionist Congress, a speaker took the mic to declare that “Jews” are “harmful to the whole planet” and described them as “the chaos engine of humanity”. He then went on to say that we need to change Jewish religion and culture to “save humanity”, which was followed by a round of applause. This isn't new. In 1921, the Association of German National Jews was established and was defined by a radical, self-directed hostility toward traditional Jewish identity. They despised their own heritage, viewing Eastern European Jews with open contempt and fiercely opposing Zionism. They later went on to back the Nazi party. Just like the Association of German National Jews, these antizionists goal are the total assimilation and self eradication of Jewish Identity. Most antizionist Jews don't just hate Israel, they hate the Jewish religion, they hate Jewish culture and they hate Jewish history. Antizionism is a hate movement regardless of who's practicing it.

MEET LABOR’S $930,000 MAN Michael Kaiser was active in Australian Labor Party politics from a young age and was State Secretary of the Queensland branch of the Labor Party from 1993 to 2000. He left his position as State Secretary when he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Queensland in a by-election for the electorate of Woodridge in 2000. Kaiser's career in parliament was brief. He resigned firstly from the Labor Party and secondly as an MP in 2001 after admitting to the Shepherdson Inquiry into electoral fraud that he had been fraudulently enrolled in 1986 as part of a Labor Party branch stacking exercise.[ He was rehabilitated by the Labor Party in 2003 and served as its Assistant National Secretary in the lead up to and during the 2004 federal election. In July 2025 Kaiser was appointed as the Secretary of the federal Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water by Anthony Albanese on a salary package of $930,000 p.a with a 5 year contract. Just another of the "economic opportunities" created by the Net Zero scam.

After the fall of the Third Reich, the architects of the new German republic wrote a constitution, known as the “Basic Law,” designed to prevent a return to tyranny. It protects free speech, free assembly, and freedom of the press. It limits the powers of elected leaders and requires an independent judiciary. And the system worked. Even during moments of crisis — reunification, terrorism, economic turmoil — Germany’s institutions, for the most part, held. Today, Germany’s liberal democracy is in grave danger. The government is seriously considering banning the most popular political party in the country, the Alternative for Germany, or AfD. It came in second in national elections in February and now leads in the polls. It has surged by campaigning against mass migration, energy shortages, and the erosion of national sovereignty. Instead of trying to defeat the party through open debate and fair elections, Germany’s political establishment has turned to the courts, the intelligence services, and the language of national security. Today, the government’s domestic spy agency has labeled the AfD a “confirmed extremist organization,” a designation that opens the door to round-the-clock surveillance, undercover infiltration, and a ban. “It’s clear to me that a ban has to come," said a member of the governing Social Democratic Party (SPD). All of this comes at a time when state prosecutors are using new speech laws to target AfD candidates and supporters, fining them, harassing them, and in some cases trying to disqualify them from running for office. Behind closed doors, parliament leaders have refused to grant the AfD basic accommodations, including access to meeting space. What began as democratic competition is turning into something else....
