Björn Höcke, September 30, 2020, Moria

Thüringen Landtag, September 30, 2020, Plenarprotokoll 7/24, pp. 11-12. 

Right honorable ladies and gentlemen in the sovereign House and at the screens.

On September 7, asylum lobbyists arranged 13,000 empty chairs in front of the Reichstag building and, under the motto “We Have a Place”, demanded the dissolution of the Greek camps in Moria and the immediate acceptance of the immigrants living there. Two days later, the camp will be set afire, the establishment media bringing forth the familiar pictures of women and children. That 85 percent of the inhabitants are young men will not be mentioned. The reporting will be flanked by “We Have a Place” demonstrations in the larger cities.

            Henfling (Greens): It is about human rights and not about women and                                                        children’s rights!

Who here speaks of a professionally realized staging in the service of moral extortion will certainly not be entirely wrong. Yet, for the leading heads behind this extortion, is it really about refugees? Sea Watch captain Pia Klemp expressing herself concerning her work in the British Guardian – cite: “It is not about a humanitarian rescue at sea. It is part of the anti-fascist struggle”. Will migration thus perhaps be employed as a weapon against the bürgerliche order? In any case, migration by the millions from the Arab and African area is destabilizing the Western nations. In Sweden, a humanitarian major power, the country’s vice-chief of police, in regards the undermining of the state by the gangs, speaks of a “systemic threat” and

            Henfling (Greens): He appears to be speaking of the AfD!

the social-democratic foreign minister Margot Wallström, in office until 2019, prophesied of the continuing immigration – I cite verbatim: “In the long term, our system will collapse”. For all that, in Sweden the rule of political correctness is now collapsing and I wish that also for Germany.

In Germany meanwhile we have concrete bollards around the Christmas markets, an event-oriented party people scene which at times happily smashes to bits entire streets and likewise a clan criminality scarcely mastered by our police. Non-Germans in Thüringen are over-represented as suspects for theft by four times, for dangerous bodily injury by six times and for sexual assault by almost eight times. Today we gather from the press that in the Free State the number of Islamists posing a threat has significantly increased. Despite that, the Herr Minister-president recently sounded off in the Zeit that we would have a place and that Germans want the distribution of immigrants from Moria. No, right honorable Minister-president, we have a housing crisis, we have exploding rental prices, we are one of the most densely settled countries in the world – we have no place!

And the majority of Germans, the majority of Thüringers as well, want no second 2015 and they want no further loss of control, since they know: First Moria burns and then burns our society.

Right honorable ladies and gentlemen, responsible politicians in Germany and Thüringen are making ready to declare as wards of the state Taliban, Isis fighters, Somali pirates and arsonists and concede to them a right to reside in the country, and that even though people are much more likely to be threatened, to be molested and even be killed by these types, and according to no aspect of a European standard of values are they worthy of protection. The ultimate argument of the immigration apologists is that it is human dignity – I believe the term has again been shouted through the sovereign House –  

            Henfling (Greens): No, human rights. Yet that is foreign to you, as we                                                        already know.

which must be protected.

I must here in conclusion be very clear: Yes, human dignity rightly stands before all in our Basic Law. No, right honorable worthy colleagues, a right of residence for serious criminals was not intended by the mothers and fathers of the Basic Law when they formulated Article 1 following the horrific experiences of the dictatorship. The political instrumentalization of human dignity on behalf of criminals and mass immigration threatens the state and must be stopped.

Many thanks for your attention.

Tino Chrupalla, October 2, 2020, 30 Years German Unity

German Bundestag, October 2, 2020, Plenarprotokoll 19/181, pp. 22754-22755. 

Right honorable Herr President. Dear guests. Dear countrymen.

As most here know, I was born in the DDR. As a child of Lausitz, I know and esteem my Heimat. I spent the first years of my life in a country which placed the political system above the wishes of the people.  We were surveilled and browbeaten so as to further maintain the socialist ideology. I was 15 years old at the end of the DDR. Practically over-night I could get to know the freedom for which the people had yearned: The freedom to express my opinion and to be allowed to associate with others.

Ladies and gentlemen, today I can say: I am a child of German unity, born in Lausitz. What then was the DDR? Many people of the old Federal Republic associate it with an oppressed, walled-in people. Yet the DDR was more. It was also solidarity and community – in the city and in the country, in private life as at work. There was no luxury, yet therefore much readiness to help. I know for many western Germans that tends to sound like a paradox. And, what is more, I understand them. We were in the years of separation distinctively coined. It is nevertheless clear to me that you too know the value of a society in which one feels at home. Mitmenschlichkeit survived primarily in private life: In the family, in the circle of friends, at the workplace. It was heartfelt and honorable. It is just this Mitmenschlichkeit that is missed by many today.

Materially, almost everything is better.Yet for long not all feel themselves to be better. In fact, many people today feel themselves left alone with their cares and needs. Loneliness has become a theme which earlier was not so with us. We should ask ourselves why, after 30 years of unity, that is so.

Many people feel themselves to be dependent and that is not without a reason. The economic power of the east remained at barely 73 percent of the total German average. And still today – after 30 years – the average income in eastern Germany is around 20 percent less than in the west. Since taking our seats in the Bundestag, we refer ever again to the poverty threatening all eastern German pensioners. And we also say to you how we can in the future prevent such pensions: We need a special, eastern economic zone so that finally after 30 years the standard of living in both parts of Germany may be equalized as is guaranteed in the Basic Law.

Yet what do you do, worthy ladies and gentlemen on the government bench? Why do you not better use our strengths and capabilities? Do you remember the words of the Germans in November 1989, “We are one people”? Besides, it is astonishing that the Chancellor fails to be at such a debate.

Why do you play with the people’s angst when you ascribe a rightist extremism to us eastern Germans? Even a Federal President, who actually must know better, speaks of “Dunkeldeutschland”. And quite without embarrassment, you breathe new life into the old, divisive DDR propaganda of anti-fascism. This propaganda then and today was and is an instrument of the devil.

We should remind ourselves how it felt when plurality of opinion was undesired and thought prohibitions were the standard of political judgement. What I want to say is: We should remind ourselves how it was when anyone who advocated an opinion other than that of the government was declared an enemy of the state. “Never again” should today be our credo as democrats.

Ladies and gentlemen, each person will be stamped with the experiences which he has undergone. I myself therefore understand the time of 30 years ago as the terminal point of common negotiations. The BRD and the DDR had negotiated for Germany. The unification of the two German states brought together our countrymen from all points of the compass. It was a patriotic act.

From precisely that my party also derives the power for its negotiations. We are the first party in the German Bundestag to have originated in re-unified Germany. We are free of the ideological ballast of the time prior to unification [Vorwendezeit]. We can therefore look back with complete lack of bias on the events of that time. And that I can here and today speak to you, I have alone to thank the courage of the people of the east. They risked everything for freedom and fought for their country.

It is therefore a heart’s desire to thank all these people here and today for their courage. They had the great good fortune to make possible the re-unification. I therefore request you all: Let us safeguard the gift of unity with the power of reason which makes it possible for all people to be able to lead a life of freedom, and thus a political life without exclusion and stigmatization or indeed persecution – even when we do not share the opinion of others.

Many thanks.

Rüdiger Lucassen, September 30, 2020, 2021 Budget – Defense

German Bundestag, September 30, 2020, Plenarprotokoll 19/179, p. 22583.

Frau President. Right honorable members.

Who wishes to be a constitution patriot, as the CDU claims to be, should for once read the constitution. In case the Union should still be interested in the Bundeswehr, I recommend Article 87a:

            The Federation shall establish armed forces for purposes of defense.

The CDU’s 15 year administration of the Bundeswehr has made of this article a hollow phrase. The Bundeswehr can no longer fulfill its duty to defend the states and the Federal union. This situation is generally acknowledged by the parties. The AfD, however, is the only party which will not accept that.

The Federal government has failed in all core areas of defense policy.

            Henning Otte (CDU/CSU): Where do you get the proof? That is rubbish!

Seven years ago, Frau Kramp-Karrenbauer’s predecessor began proclaiming trend changes; you remember. The present minister today plainly avoids this term like the devil does holy water: Understandably, since nothing has worked. The procurement system is, as before, dysfunctional. All follow-on procurement is stuck somewhere between dreamland and reality loss.

Let us take the Future Combat Air System: France and Germany have completely different roles for their future fighter jets. Already since the Eurofighter, the European aerospace industry has lost contact with the development. I prophesy to you: The FCAS will be a grave for billions without one aircraft ever attaining mission readiness.

The Main Ground Combat System: Again German-French and again to the considerable disadvantage of the respective defense industry. For 80 years is German tank production a leader in the world market. Now this key technology will be given away to France, with an utterly unknown end result. The drama of that is: What is from Germany once gone, never again comes back. The Federal government’s armament policy is permanently demolishing German industrial proficiency.           

            Henning Otte (CDU/CSU): My goodness!

This formula of failure also goes for the development of armed drones, for the digitalization of the armed forces and much more. The heavy transport helicopter was as of yesterday officially renounced, just as was the successor to the Tornado.

            Henning Otte (CDU/CSU): The AfD failed in Lower Saxony!

The next major area: Personnel. On the average, 15,000 soldiers are lacking. That is the size of an entire division. However much the BMVg [defense ministry] leadership may trouble itself to convey to outsiders its modern, gender-neutral and diverse image, simply not enough young Germans want the Bundeswehr. Despite that, the BMVg holds fast to this infantile image campaign. The ship of fools sails stubbornly on.

The BMVg, however, in other areas is as busy as a bee. The gender of the service grades was a major theme. As it was clear that our female soldiers were unwilling to be addressed as “Frau Oberfeldwebelin” or “Frau Hauptfrau”, the Defense Minister withdrew. Project “Gender Justice” was stopped, for the time being. Yet I can prophesy to the soldiers that, from them, this chalice has not yet been passed.

            Henning Otte (CDU/CSU): Hohmann would have said it!

If next year it in fact comes to a black-green coalition, the Bundeswehr will be as thoroughly gendered as an edition of the “taz’.

            Tobias Lindner (Greens): You are worried about that! That is clear!

That would nevertheless be the least of problems. The Federal government’s incompetence in defense policy cannot be compensated for by the good 46 billion euros in Section 14. As before, the AfD stands for an increase in the defense estimate; since the damages inflicted on the Bundeswehr by the government are immense. The repair may cost much money. Just so, it is right to ask what the Grand Coalition is doing with all the money. I say: The Federal government deals with the citizens’ tax money just as irresponsibly as it does with the Bundeswehr itself. Over 46 billion euros for the Bundeswehr: The entire result is simply a disgrace.

Ladies and gentlemen, who is unwilling to accept the system of the armed forces is unsuitable for the orderly leadership of the Bundeswehr.

            Henning Otte (CDU/CSU): Herr Hohmann would have said it!

A state does not maintain armed forces to bore a well somewhere or lead a grandma across the street. Armed forces must be willing and be in a position to employ deadly, military violence. For that, the Bundeswehr requires esprit de corps, pride and a unique vocational ethic – period – and nothing more.

Thanks.

Birgit Malsack-Winkemann, September 30, 2020, 2021 Budget – Foreign Office

German Bundestag, September 30, 2020, Plenarprotokoll 19/179, pp. 22570-22571.

Right honorable Frau President. Worthy members.

You all know the film “The Never-ending Story” – a perfect title for the troubles in and with the Foreign Office. It could also be named “The Announcements Ministry”.

But in order. As we of the AfD, ever again the only party, have reproved: According to a report of the Federal Audit Office from the year 2018 – mark well: 2018 – the Foreign Office had no knowledge concerning the processing status of its application and proof of employment procedures [Zuwendungsverfahren und Verwendungnachweise] of around 2.5 billion euros in the area of humanitarian aid and crisis prevention. Has anything essentially changed? No, and we are now writing of the year 2020, the end of September.

Nevertheless, the Foreign Office, meanwhile and in any case with a more precise viewpoint, has attempted – in the words of the witness, “troubled itself” – to draft a law for the establishment of a Federal office of foreign affairs because the applications and proofs of employment in the future are to be handled by its newly created officials as non-ministerial duties. I repeat: Attempted!

The Federal Audit Office presented a report on this on February 27, 2020. This report is scarcely to be surpassed in regards its catastrophic evaluation.

First of all, the Foreign Office has undertaken no economic examination. Which duties shall be taken over by the new Federal office and which shall remain with the Foreign Office itself, the draft law simply leaves open. It should also be stated, Why is a completely new set of officials needed and which duties shall these assume?

If it is not then known what all the new officials shall do, it is naturally also not known which financial or personnel effects the whole endeavor shall have. Accordingly, the draft law allows to be ascertained neither what the personnel assignments should be nor what effect the new establishment has on the personnel assignments of the Foreign Office itself. In addition, the new Federal office shall be able to form branch offices. And as to why that at all shall be and why the number and size of these shall possibly need be unlimited, there is lacking in the draft law any reason. Is there being set up something of a new officials’ octopus?

            Ulrich Lechte (FDP): What rubbish!

Beyond that, it is thought that a ministerial supplement could be retained for non-ministerial basic duties – obviously not under the designation “ministerial supplement”. Nevertheless, the Foreign Office recognized that this designation for non-ministerial duties, those moreover outside the ministry, could indeed be illegal.

Yet when it is about the acquisition and retention of funding, the Federal cabinet, along with the Foreign Office, suddenly becomes intellectually flexible and discovers the wondrous word “Aufbauzulage” [construction supplement]. A droll idea, thinks the Foreign Office. Since there is still not one legal text for this wonder word, here can one’s own inspiration be allowed to work to full extent.

And the result of this quite individual, ja, peculiar thought process of the Foreign Office was that the total of the so-called construction supplement initially correspond to the full extent of the ministerial supplement, and then over a time period of five years will be melted down at 10 percent per year and then remain at 50 percent. That shall naturally be for all employees. Even for the couriers. What an insult to all honorable taxpayers. Is the Foreign Office, shall we say, a self-service store?

Thereupon the Federal Audit Office – fully according to the law – intervened and the Foreign Office complied by putting forward an economics examination. Yet this was again so insufficient that the Budget Committee with a measures decision on May 13, 2020, charged the Foreign Office to finally ascertain the personnel, material and overhead costs and verify the financial expenditures with serviceable figures.

And quite remarkably: According to the measures decision, only the administration and central office should be in Brandenburg. In other words: You all wish in the future to create a kind of officials’ octopus;

            Franziska Brantner (Greens): That is all in the compensation!

since the branch offices remain untouched. You wish to merely examine the so-called construction supplement. No, ladies and gentlemen, a construction supplement is to be rejected. Since how do you wish to substantiate that to the taxpayers?

And last, but not least: For the fulfillment of this measures decision, the Foreign Office allows itself time; generally understood, from May of this year. Keyword: “Officials’ Mikado”. He who first makes a move, loses.

And in the interim time will furthermore be expended – more or less unexamined – around 2 billion euros per year for humanitarian aid and crisis prevention, and no person knows where essentially this money actually lands.

            Jürgen Hardt (CDU/CSU): You know that guaranteed!

            Ulrich Lechte (FDP): What nonsense!

Which NGOs with fine-sounding names might here rejoice over German tax money? To be continued, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you.

            Jürgen Hardt (CDU/CSU): “Never-ending Story”.

            Alexander Lambsdorff (FDP): Fake news!

Mariana Harder-Kühnel, October 1, 2020, 2021 Budget – Family

German Bundestag, October 1, 2020, Plenarprotokoll 19/180, pp. 22968-22969.

Right honorable Herr President. Right honorable ladies and gentlemen.

Year after year, one has the naïve hope that the next budget will be better than the previous one.

            Ulli Nissen (SPD): Your speech is naïve!

And, year after year, one is disillusioned. That is because, year after year, you set false priorities.

Actually, it should be about – as made plain by the name of the ministry – Families, Seniors, Women and Youth and about their future. And it is actually your primary duty to make policy for the future of our country and its citizens. Actually, the tax money should be used to encourage young couples to have children. And, actually, the increasing childhood and old age poverty should thereby be halted – actually.

Yet instead of relief of the citizens for which, for example, family splitting might be introduced and charges like the broadcasting contribution might be abolished, there is 150 million euros for measures to guarantee variety, tolerance and democracy, 85 million euros more than before, and that in the time of Corona. This money will be expended on programs like “Democracy Alive! Action against rightist extremism, violence and misanthropy”. More means for the fight against leftist extremism or Islamism – zilch! The money is preferably expended for leftist propaganda projects like the Amadeu-Antonio Foundation, the head of which, Kahane, has said – I cite: The greatest declaration of bankruptcy of German politics following unification [Wende] was to have allowed a third of the state territory to remain white. – This ethno-masochism per se is pathetic, yet to further promote it with many millions and thereby make policy against one’s own people is simply a scandal.  

           Vice-president Hans-Peter Friedrich: Frau colleague, do you consent to an                                                interim question?

No. – And then you supply this policy with fine attributes like “variety” and “tolerance”. Thomas Mann once said, “Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to the wicked.” And we experience daily the consequences of your false tolerance: Parallel societies, clan criminality and violence. Or, in your words: A flourishing Party and Event Scene. Since your variety is nothing other than a leftist simpleness and your tolerance plainly applies only to the like-minded. I gladly ever again repeat that. You are lacking in esteem for the normal, for the natural. You prefer to expend the money of your citizens on what is unnatural, like early sexualization and the gender nonsense.

            Marianne Schieder (SPD): Oh, Gott!

Your budget plan even sets for itself the goal of overcoming traditional role models. We do not want women and men to be re-educated as mixed creatures and children to be early sexualized. We do not want our language to be gendered. Every cent spent on this nonsense is one cent too many. 

Yet you? You throw away the money even though we are already the front runners, the front runners when it comes to the load of OECD taxes and duties. It is this tax burden which takes from young couples the family spirit. It is this tax burden which intensifies the demographic catastrophe. It is owing to this tax burden that childhood and old age poverty increases.

We of the AfD demand: Relief of families, reduction of duties, esteem for seniors, a welcome for children. That for once would be a policy for one’s own people.

Stephan Brandner, October 1, 2020, 2021 Budget – Justice

 German Bundestag, October 1, 2020, Plenarprotokoll 19/180, pp. 22653-22654.

Ladies and gentlemen. Herr President.

The Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection which – according to the committee name – should actually be the Ministry of Law and Consumer Protection, under the aegis of the last six ministers, and especially under the last three ministers – I recall Herr Maas, Frau Barley and Frau Lambrecht – has become a ministry that does all possible things, only it does not strengthen the state of law and defend the rights of freedom and of the citizens.

It much more gives itself over to ideological spin doctors of every art. To be sure, you must be red-green and diverse. Let us consider the past: Internet Enforcement Law, the unconstitutional “marriage for all” law – not at all milestones. Let us leave the past in peace, ladies and gentlemen.

Ideological entanglements and obscurity unfortunately do not otherwise allow the clarification of Frau Lambrecht’s appearances and assertions. So what currently worries Frau Lambrecht in the time of the economic crisis, the immigration crisis, the state of law crisis, the Corona crisis and other challenges? How in family law mother one and mother two should be dealt with. Quite important according to the interpretation of Frau Lambrecht: How the legal quality of the birth mother to the other mother should be regulated. So is seen, Frau Lambrecht, that even biology, according to which there is always a mother and a father for us people,

            Mechthild Rawert (SPD): Apparently not in a few years!

will be sacrificed on the altar of your left-green madness.    

Suddenly, there is a mother one and a mother two. Many other mothers will apparently follow, parent one and parent two. Of fathers, there is certainly not a word. You are thereby working on the nationalization of the children. Nothing other, according to Article 6, which you wish to amend – children’s rights – is to be understood…

Frau Lambrecht, supported by the public media, you fight all rights like one possessed. Frau Lambrecht also devotes herself to internet censorship. One may only consider the unspeakable Internet Enforcement Law which devours millions of euros. You ponder over upload filters and wish to permit clarification of conspiracy theories in the schools. A good idea, if the central point would perhaps for once be those of the Federal government in Corona matters.

The hysterias of the old parties should just there be uncovered. That apparently will not be the case. Conspiracy theorists are always those who deviate from the straight and current opinion of the state media. Previously, conspiracy theorists were those who warned of Corona. Today, conspiracy theorists are those who criticize the Corona measures. You are very flexible there, Frau Lambrecht, you and your Federal government.

            Niema Movassat (Linke): Would that you simply remained in the toilet!

Yet, Frau Lambrecht also gladly denounces and denigrates the citizens of our country, ladies and gentlemen, primarily such as those who wish to exercise their freedom to demonstrate in the streets, as guaranteed by the Basic Law. For her, those are the extremists.

Finally, Frau Lambrecht devotes herself – she has here previously again done so – with great gusto to the topic of hate and agitation.

            Niema Movassat (Linke): You are the experts!

I surmise that soon “HassundHetze” as the new one word creation will be found in Duden. Hate and agitation, Frau Lambrecht: Diction from the thank God past times of the old, downfallen DDR. With you, criminal acts from the DDR are enjoying a revival.

Frau Lambrecht, in pushing through your hate and agitation laws, you have apparently overlooked the unconstitutionality which we of the AfD designated from the beginning. Embarrassed, you should actually resign, Frau Lambrecht, or be dismissed by Frau Merkel. Yet in fact you have heard from a previous speaker of the FDP that evidently with Frau Merkel not only failed CSU politicians are a protected species. Evidently, that also goes for SPD politicians.

It was now to be heard that it shall be necessary for the Federal president to sign this unconstitutional law. I personally have no doubt that Herr Steinmeier, whose vita exhibits relations in the extreme left milieu and who is familiar with Constitution Defense observation, will sign this law. Nevertheless, I attempt here to prevent the worst. I call upon Herr Steinmeier, wherever he may be: Herr Steinmeier, do not sign this hate and agitation law! Do not make it possible for the Federal government to once again break constitutional law.

Finally – I come to an end, Herr President: Try, Frau Lambrecht – to close the circle – to again make your ministry one for for Law and Consumer Protection, and do not further pervert it into a ministry against rights, against the state of law and for ideology.

Many thanks.
