Gereon Bollmann, April 21, 2023, Vaccination Harms

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/98, p. 11809. 

Frau President. Dear colleagues. Ladies and gentlemen in the tribune. Good morning!

It composes 22 pages, the concluding report for the health effects of Corona on children and youth. One should thus actually expect a comprehensive and complete clarification. Yet to me appears noteworthy is not what the report describes but what it keeps quiet. One perhaps recalls the 17 year old gymnast who, after the second BioNTech shot, needed a year in hospital. Valued colleagues of the CSU, here it is about the well-known Markus Söder shots and about vaccination harm. The theme of vaccination harm simply imposes itself.

Yet if the reader now leafs through these 22 pages so as to learn what the Federal government plans to do to clarify and comprehend the vaccination harms in regards children and youth, what it plans so as to at least prevent in the future the current harms, what it plans so as to compensate children and youth for vaccination harm, one is left thus disillusioned as to what was actually expected of you. Since of that is found simply nothing.

Now then, dear colleagues, I for once explain to you. – Listen well! Clarification never harms! – The Paul Ehrlich Institute up to February of this year registered 3,227 suspected cases of serious vaccination harm for 12 to 17 year olds. Even this horrific number does not describe the true extent. The doctors indeed need to report vaccination harms. Yet for that a doctor requires more than 30 minutes and that is still without fee! A clear legislative failure – a rogue who thinks it evil [ein Schelm, wer Böses dabei denkt]. Professor Werner Bergholz – also known to you as an evaluator – has recently referred to the vaccination of 266 dead children in Europe and to over 15,000 serious side-effects. To be added of course is the large gray area.

A study published in the U.S.A. this year of 8,000 students from 12 years who received the second vaccination with the Pfizer preparation – I know that the numbers do not please you – yields for example a 17 percent indication of diverse kinds of heart damage; that is nearly every fifth child. With reference to the 12 to 17 year olds and their vaccination rate in Germany, this yields some 260,000 cases. That would be of the highest alarm – and the government turns away and even cloaks the shrill alarm clock with a mendacious concluding report.

Nein, it does not suffice, Herr Rix, that you have three times referred to the failures, to what has happened. These are no more than crocodile tears. We need clarification. Nothing is to be hushed up, hindrances to an understanding of vaccination harms must be removed, and the victims must be appropriately compensated. It’s bad enough that I here at all need to mention this.

            Leni Breymaier (SPD): You need not!

            Emilia Fester (Green): You could have spared yourself!

Stephan Brandner, April 20, 2023, A Poor Man’s Joe Biden

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/97, pp. 11604-11605.

If Frau Klöckner has again calmed herself, I may begin.

Frau President. Ladies and gentlemen.

The CDU installs its first investigating committee. What it now puts forward, after much tamtam and a conceited announcement, is beyond thin: Six and a half pages of which a page and a half are names. I need say to you: With a five page investigation motion, you fall short of us. You still need to learn opposition. We sit directly beside you. Simply call upon us and we may show you how it goes.

Nevertheless, one now wants to address oneself to the Chancellor’s false stories and/or increasing bouts of amnesia – it is, besides, a shame that he is not here; perhaps he has forgotten the date. That is in our view in order. This requires a clarification. Since who really wants to be governed by anyone who is either mysteriously forgetful or simply lies without blushing as he has already?

Ladies and gentlemen, the term of Rumscholzens is meanwhile firmly anchored in the German language usage. It stands for careful and long-term planning and to announce a policy; and yet then to do the opposite: For dodging, for laughing it away, for laughing off the citizens,

            Johannes Schraps (SPD): We have made it clear in the government                                     declaration. That it is nonsense what you are telling here! That is rubbish!

for non-reaction, and for recourse to memory loss – like a poor man’s Joe Biden. We are in Germany.

How can such a man, how can such a person at all govern Germany – a country that slides and is steered from one crisis to another? How can such a man stand at the top of our government? The Cicero  newspaper has the answer in the form of a question and which reads: How could anyone “with so little standing” [„mit so wenig Anstand“]  and talent arrive at the office of the Federal Chancellor?

I reveal it to you. It is, for one, his Scholzo-mat aura, for another, his competitors were certainly beyond pale. Frau Merkel did not want or should no longer be Chancellor candidate, Laschet on the sidelines laughed in the face of the Nordrhein-Westfalen flood catastrophe, Söder entangled himself in intrigues from which he did not extricate himself.

Today’s opposition leader Herr Merz – he sits here – is, with his BlackRock entanglement, scarcely acceptable as Federal Chancellor. BlackRock – one needs know; Herr Merz knows it, he even laughs – is an investment group with administered assets of 10 trillion euros, two and a half times as much as Germany generates in gross domestic product. Herr Merz, that allows to expect nothing good from a person who thereupon shall assume influence on German policy. And Wolfgang Schäuble, with the money bag and the 100,000 mark donations, the circumstance of which was never clarified, is still remembered. Thus, here some brandish themselves as accusers who actually belong on the bench of the accused.  

Ladies and gentlemen, money bags, corruption – one thinks of the Corona profiteers and the mask dealers of the CDU and CSU – scandals wherever one looks. Herr Scholz, First Bürgermeister of Hamburg, who already in the year 2017 at the G-20 summit allowed his city to be laid in rubble and ash, hangs in the midst of this swamp.  

It is of course still more interesting that in this Warburg Bank swamp Mathias Döpfner also now emerges. He is the head of Springer who gladly insulted we east Germans as low-grade fascists and communists and whom the FDP and Herr Kubicki praised to the heavens in his press organs. And Herr Döpfner has received 60 million euros from the Warburg Bank. I am anxious that everything here may appear.

Ladies and gentlemen, a clarification is required, yet we have in Germany essentially greater problems. We have significant harm as a result of the Afghanistan disaster with many dead, as a result of the Corona disaster with costs in the hundreds of billions, the Nord Stream explosion, this unlimited immigration, the exploding criminality,

            Maximilian Mordhorst (FDP): Mein Gott!

tens of billions in costs for the immigration, the Treuhand disaster and the disaster of the Merkel regime. These problems in addition require clarification.

All of this you of course do not want. You all are stuck in the mud. You want to hush it up. You now throw yourselves at Herr Merz and the Warburg Bank. Have fun. We are nevertheless –

            Vice-president Katrin Göring-Eckardt: Herr Brandner.

yet think that much greater efforts are required to again bring Germany onto the right path.

Many thanks.

            Bruno Hönel (Greens): You have said nothing at all on the motion!

            Markus Herbrand (FDP): Not a word on the motion! Laschet is laughing.

Alice Weidel, April 14, 2023, Atomic Energy

AfD Kompakt, April 14, 2023.

The Federal government needs to stop the impending withdrawal from atomic energy. And listen to its own citizens. According to a current survey, 65 percent of those questioned want to let the atomic power plants continue to run. The ideological state of madness is against every economic and political understanding and against the will of a majority of German citizens. The operational time of the remaining, active nuclear power plants in Germany needs to be regulated according to the technical usage duration and economic criteria. We reject a disconnection on other grounds. German nuclear power plants belong to the world’s most secure. The AfD demands the re-establishment of nuclear research centers and a comprehensive participation in international nuclear research projects for the safeguarding of the required knowledge for the operation and construction of nuclear reactors as well as for research of progressive reactor concepts of Generation III+ and IV, as also for molten salt reactors. The AfD is for the new establishment of secure nuclear power plants so as to avoid energy scarcity for the industrial site Germany and its citizens.

Rainer Kraft, March 31, 2023, Nuclear Power

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/95, pp. 11423-11424.

Honored President. Valued colleagues.

For over 60 years, the German nuclear power plants have supplied our country with safe, economic [preiswert], and sustainable electricity. In 15 days, this German success story shall go to an end. In Bavaria, the nuclear plant Isar 2 goes from the network after 35 years of productive operation in which 404 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity were produced. That corresponds to nearly the entire amount of electricity generated in Germany by photovoltaic, generated from just one nuclear power plant. From this place, a hearty thank you to all the nuclear power workers who have made possible this engine of prosperity.

In so far as one wants a well-to-do, competitive industrial nation, and does not have the good fortune to be geographically blessed with geothermal or much water, one needs to produce in another way his reliable and economic electricity. That then occurs by means of burning carbon materials or by the use of nuclear fission, since contingent energy like wind and sun are not compatible with the attribute “reliable”. All nations worldwide follow this pattern; there are no exceptions. The laws of physics are stronger than ideology.  

Germany is therein the wrong-way driver of global energy policy. Nowhere is this so clear as in the question of nuclear energy. Despite a global energy crisis, the Federal government clings to the withdrawal decision and wants next month to take from the network nuclear power plants with 4,000 megawatts of economic and low CO2 output. By 2022, these three nuclear power plants have generated around 32 terawatt-hours of energy. This energy in the coming year will be bitterly lacking for industry and our citizens.

To generate these amounts of electricity in Germany, 10,000 wind energy installations, or eight to ten gas power plants, need to be erected as a replacement. Here, we put the question, dear government: Where are these replacement constructions? To where can I drive to see them? To where can I drive to reach them? Then comes the answer: This replacement simply does not exist. In the past year, 2022, despite all the money squandering in Germany, just a net 213, instead of 10,000, windmills were erected – 213 instead of 10,000 installations which were certainly needed so as to replace the energy of just three remaining nuclear power plants. And how many gas power plants were built? None were built; a replacement was not made. That means, you take production from the network without making a replacement. The consequences  are further energy scarcities and rising prices for taxpayers and consumers who already stand before financial ruin as a result of other government measures and the inflation of the common currency.

How does it look outside of Germany? You may want to deny it, yet nuclear power is economic. France wants to build fourteen new nuclear power plants, Poland six, the Netherlands two, Czechia two, Slovakia two, Hungary two, the United Kingdom four, etc. – yes, that can be applauded. – One sees: All responsible governments take care for reliable, economic and green electricity for their citizens and for their industry.

            Maik Aussendorf (Greens): They are subvention diggers!

And what does our government do? They take economic and reliable electricity from the market and burn much more expensive gas. In the end, private and industrial electricity customers pay the bill – to the harm of the entire Republic.

Our Economy Minister hoped for a mild winter, and he got it.

Stephan Brandner (AfD): Thanks to climate change! Otherwise, there would have been nothing!

He will nevertheless not be able to rely on it. The gas supply is indeed stable at a high level. That however is based on that we have simply bought out the market for gas from the developing and rising countries. The consequence is that countries in southern Asia, as for example Pakistan, have announced to quadruple their energy production from coal power. The consequence of your ideological withdrawal from nuclear power plants is then thus a global increase of CO2 emissions – and that, even though you here ever, ever and ever again stress that for you the CO2 removal is the most important of all. Apparently, that is not so.

The result: After 20 years of energy transition, the citizens know that the supposed minimal additional cost of an ice cream cone was a willful falsehood. The promises, that other than the generation methods nothing will change and price and reliability will remain the same, are exposed and seen through. Yet if the people are simply asked what to them in regards the energy supply is really important – electricity without nuclear powr plants on one side, or economic, reliable and truly green electricity on the other side – then is the vote of the sovereign clear, namely a distinct affirmation for nuclear power.

            Stephan Brandner (AfD): And that is right!

If electricity and energy in Germany are thus to be economic and reliable, if our industry is to meet with competitive parameters,  and if our citizens are not to be impoverished by their electricity bill, then this nation needs to go the way of other people’s communities and provide large quantities of economic, reliable, modern and by all means also low CO2 energy for the welfare of the state.

            Wolfgang Kubicki (FDP): Herr colleague, please come to a conclusion.

That means: Continued operation of the three remaining installations, ordering new fuel rods and, yes, an affirmation for construction of new nuclear installations.
