Germany has become a corrupt US colony
(ORDO NEWS) — Germany, despite the hostile actions of the United States against itself and Russia, continues to be their vassal, writes Modern Diplomacy. This indicates that the German government is highly corrupt and willing to give up its own population to please the American masters.
On July 15, 2022, the Reuters news agency published an article under the heading “Poll shows 70% of Germans support Ukraine despite high energy prices”, and reported that “about 70% of those polled supported Germany’s assistance to Ukraine, … according to the poll held between 12 and 14 July by ZDF.” ZDF is funded by the German government – German taxpayers.
The German party AfD is one of only two parties in the country that half-heartedly support Germany’s anti-Russian stance. Another such party is the “Left Party”, “Die Linke”, which is the only socialist democratic party in Germany, despite the fact that “democratic socialist” calls itself and the “Social Democratic Party” of West Germany, being neither one nor the other.
On August 25, 2022, the AfD issued a press release “Stephan Brandner: “Stephan Brandner: scandalous ‘political filters’ influence NDR radio coverage” (“Stephan Brandner: Skandalöse ‘Politische Filter’ beeinflussen NDR-Berichterstattung”). It cited the words of Brandner, who is a member of the German Parliament from the AfD:
“After a scandal reminiscent of feudal structures and associated with the embezzlement of funds for personal purposes by the now hated director of the RBB, an online magazine reports that employees of the North German radio complain about the “political filters” introduced by them According to the report… the heads of the public broadcaster act as “members of the press service of the ministry”.
As a politician of the AfD party, I am not surprised. After all, ARD and ZDF only report on the AfD through a “political filter” and, for example, no longer invite AfD politicians to talk shows. … Mandatory contributions [taxpayers for ‘public broadcasting’] should be abolished.”
Brandner did not provide any evidence for any of his statements. (This is the politics of a dictatorship. How can the public vote on the basis of a reasonable approach, if it usually considers accusations that are made without documentary evidence to be correct? This is a dictatorship of lies and liars, and no society capable of democracy will accept this. documented as true, considered false by science – not true. A democratic country operates on the basis of science, not on the basis of faith).
However, this does not mean that Brandner’s claims are necessarily false. One reason they may very well be true is that there are six parties in Germany. And the current ruling coalition is made up of three who take the hardest line against Russia and are pro-American, as well as the anti-Russian Ukrainian government that came to power after the 2014 Washington-sponsored coup.
The ruling coalition, these three parties, is called the “traffic light coalition.” It consists of the highly neo-conservative (or American empire-supporting) anti-Russian Green Party, plus the so-called Social Democratic Party “sister” to the American Democratic Party, as well as the rabidly libertarian or “neoliberal” Free Democratic Party (free market supporter, opposed to regulation and is usually an ally of the US Republican Party).
And they exclude (or keep and prevent participation in the work of the government) the three least anti-Russian parties. These are the “Left Party” (genuine democratic socialists or progressives ideologically opposed to any imperialism), the AfD (nationalists) and the American Republican Party-affiliated bloc of centre-right political parties, the Christian Democratic Union of Germany and the Christian Social Union.
Brandner raised an important issue without providing any evidence regarding his decision. But here are some important facts about how tolerant the German government is of corruption (which includes the corruption of the government and its “news” media):
On December 14, 2021, I conducted a comparative analysis of anti-corruption laws in three countries, and entitled it “Political Corruption in the USA, Germany and Russia”. I came to the following conclusions:
While this is a very imperfect measure of a country’s corruption, it paints the US in a very favorable light, and portrays Germany (11 out of 12 “No” [referring to the lack of an anti-corruption law]) as rather strikingly corrupt.
Russia is between them, perhaps because after the ugly rule of Yeltsin, Putin brought order to the Russian government, although much of the work still remains unfinished, even after 21 years.
The government of Germany, perhaps more than any other in the world, was shaped by Truman – with the exception of the government of America itself. But by the current metric, the countries that are America’s vassals seem to be even more corrupt than the imperial center, the US itself. At least as far as their campaign finance laws are concerned (“what is written in black and white” in the law books).
Here is information specific to Germany:
The following will provide answers that rely heavily on the written laws of each of these three countries (although not necessarily reflecting how those laws are enforced—or not enforced) to the 12 most obviously important questions that have been explored. I present these 12 questions in the order that I think provides the clearest sequence so that the reader can understand them, and not in the order that was used by the source:
Germany
“8. Is there a ban on anonymous voluntary donations to the election funds of candidates?”. – “There are no clearly formulated provisions regarding voluntary donations to the election funds of candidates, no.”
“2. Is there a ban on voluntary donations to election funds of candidates from persons representing foreign interests?”. – “There are no clearly formulated provisions regarding voluntary donations to the election funds of candidates, no.”
“18. Is there a limit on the amount a donor can contribute to a candidate’s campaign fund ?”. – “There are no clearly formulated provisions regarding voluntary donations to the election funds of candidates, no.”
“10. Is there a ban on voluntary donations to election funds of candidates from corporations working under government contracts?”. – “There are no clearly formulated provisions regarding voluntary donations to the election funds of candidates, no.”
“4. Is there a ban on voluntary corporate donations to candidates’ campaign funds ?”. – “There are no clearly formulated provisions regarding voluntary donations to the election funds of candidates, no.”
“6. Is there a ban on voluntary donations to election funds of candidates from trade unions?”. – “There are no clearly formulated provisions regarding voluntary donations to the election funds of candidates, no.”
“5. Is there a ban on voluntary donations to election funds of political parties from trade unions ?”. – “There is no clearly formulated … ban on voluntary donations to the election funds of political parties from trade unions.”
“3. Is there a ban on voluntary corporate donations to the election funds of political parties ?”. – “There is a ban on donations from legal entities, but they are accepted if it is a commercial enterprise, more than 50% of whose shares are owned by the Germans…”.
“9. Is there a ban on voluntary donations to election funds of political parties from corporations working under government contracts?”. – “Not”.
“14. Is there a limit on the amount that a donor can contribute to the election fund of a political party in a specific period outside the election campaign?”. — “No.”
“16. Is there a limit on the amount that a donor can contribute to the election fund of a political party during the election campaign?”. — “No.”
“27. Are there provisions requiring the passage through the banking system of funds contributed as a voluntary donation?”. – “Not”.
Therefore, Brandner claims can be expected to turn out to be true simply because Germany – especially after the US authorities blew up the Russian gas pipelines to Germany – continues to be a US vassal country, despite these hostile actions of Washington against Germany and against Russia. This indicates that the German government is highly corrupt and willing to give up its own population to please its American masters.
