Jürgen Braun, November 30, 2022, Germany, China and Covid

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/72, pp. 8387-8388.

Frau President. Right honorable ladies and gentlemen.

Fully healthy citizens under threat of draconian penalties are intimidated. To the applause of the state media, water cannon are employed against peaceful demonstrations. House searches of demonstration participants are undertaken, handies seized. There is censorship of the internet and restrictions of the freedom of opinion. The human rights situation is so disastrous that the UNO intervenes. – That is not only the present situation in the People’s Republic of China, that was also up to last year part of the situation in Germany.

The Federal governments have conducted themselves just as the Communist Party of China heretofore does.

            Alexander Lambsdorff (FDP): Completely wrong!

            Gyde Jensen (FDP): Complete nonsense!

Jürgen Trittin (Greens): I would have wished it for you, but we unfortunately have not done it!

Yet here to us also applies: A visit from relatives in another Federal State: Verboten! Alone on a park bench reading a book: Verboten! Skating with the family in the fresh air: Verboten! Denunciations: Demanded!

You now rightly complain of censorship in China. Yet what have you until recently demanded? In the state television a daily cover-up with irrelevant numbers which had only one purpose: The spreading of fear – as by Televisor from Orwell’s 1984.

            Zoe Mayer (Greens): You spread fear!

At the same time, crtitics of this situation were defamed and fought,

            Gyde Jensen (FDP): To the matter, Herr Braun!

freedom-loving marchers were denigrated as “aluminum hats” and “right-wing extremists” and banned from restaurants, swimming pools and fitness studios – under threat of contempt of court and pension cuts.

An SPD Oberbürgermeister in Stuttgart was actually permitted to employ firearms against marchers. Police violence in Germany: Never so massive as in the 30 years since the end of the SED regime, so massive that the UNO reporter for torture intervened; police violence like we rightly complain of in China also here with us.

            Zoe Mayer (Greens): Yet you lack any measure!

And nearly all of you have cooperated. Herr Trittin, you have demanded the vaccination obligation for all. Now you can speak much of freedom in China; Herr Lauterbach is, ja, appropriately not here. What is now turned against the brave Chinese was for years practiced here.

            Jürgen Trittin (Greens): Nay, nay!

            Nils Schmid (SPD): That is just unbelievable!

The totalitarian zero-Covid petition was signed by leading mainstream figures – zero-Covid:

Alexander Lambsdorff (FDP): This is offensive, what you are putting out here! That is simply just offensive! Nauseating, Herr Braun. Nauseating!

Climate-hopper Luisa Neubauer, the state-financed George Restle; even the from Stasi man climbed up to Berlin state secretary Andrei Holm was with those of the Partie.

            Alexander Lambsdorff (FDP): Even beneath your dignity, what you are                                    doing here!

Listen, Herr Lambsdorff.

            Alexander Lambsdorff (FDP): I am listening!

You do not want to hear the truth; I know that. It’s clear to me.

            Alexander Lambsdorff (FDP): Oh, yes! From you comes not a word of truth!

And Christian Droste in the professional journal The Lancet called for confinement of the citizens without conditions.

Vice-president Petra Pau: Herr member Braun, I request speaking on the theme of the current hour.

And the Health Minister Lauterbach first!

            Gyde Jensen (FDP): Good man!

That is Chinese zero-Covid ideology in pure form.

Now the political-media complex wants to make forgotten all of this. In regards the brutally suppressed protests of this weekend in China, the German state media once again lies Kopf und Kragen. In the Tagesschau it said – I cite:

There are no large vaccination campaigns in the country of 1.4 billion inhabitants. Instead, the people in China live for almost three years in ever recurring lockdowns,  mass testing, restrictions of going-out and travel.

With that, the People’s Republic of China has a vaccination rate of 89 percent, one of the highest in the world.

Yet no such high vaccination rate lead to the giving way of the German government in the matter of zero-Covid. No, it was the stubborn citizens’ protests alone which we have to thank for that.

Leni Breymaier (SPD): Ach Gott! Ach Gott! Ach Gott! What actually remains of your “hot autumn”? Tomorrow is December. Then is the beginning of winter!

The Chinese strategy of intimidation and confinement which rightly here and today is unanimously condemned was a German reason of state and it would have remained a reason of state if the true civil society had not risen up: Across all Germany, peaceful protests spread so as to finally order a stop to this scandalous policy.

            Jürgen Coße (SPD): What nonsense you are telling!

In defense of the present government is to be said that it only continues what was already begun under the Merkel government. In the Interior Ministry’s experts’ council was appointed a man who is not only a declared fan of Mao Tse-tung but also received money from the Chinese Communist Party: The linguist Otto Kölbl was the author of the propaganda angst papers with the revealing title of “To Learn from Wuhan” – Wuhan, as is known, where the new Corona virus originated. I say to you what can be learned from Wuhan: How a virus can be genetically so manipulated that it becomes highly virulent and thereby a worldwide mass panic can be unleashed.

            Jürgen Coße (SPD): Man, man, man, man, man!

You still wanted to imitate the Chinese social model, yet the German Sonderweg, thank God, came to an end. If now the mask obligation falls, then we again finally have our freedom. And that I wish also for the brave people of China.

Leni Breymaier (SPD): You are so embarrassing! The most embarrassing Baden-Württemberger of the year!

Christina Baum, December 16, 2022, Vaccination Side-effects

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/77, pp. 9239-9240.

Frau President. Ladies and gentlemen.

In a few days we will again celebrate Christmas, the feast you would have preferred to forbid to people in the past two years,

            Andreas Philippi (SPD): What!

            Andrew Ullmann (SPD): Such rubbish!

            Marei-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann (FDP): Not Christmas. You ought                                        to be forbidden!

the feast which many experienced for the last time – in solitude, and then dying in solitude and being buried in solitude. This picture is representative of the entire suffering which you have inflicted on people in these two years. The compulsory preventive measures decided on by you have brought unbelievably so many tears and pain upon our country that this time no one will forget.  

            Andrew Ullmann (SPD): The AfD brings pain and suffering!

Children were compelled to mask and set in a corner separated from their school comrades. They needed to freeze at open windows only because they could not wear no mask for reasons of health. The test swab was painfully shoved in the nose, and each time their pulse beat faster

Ralf Stegner (SPD): You would have been able to recite more pleasant                Christmas stories here!

from fear of a positive result with attendant isolation. One mother wrote to all members that in the morning her daughter no longer wanted to get up because the school was a hell. Just as this left my colleagues in the Landtag cold, the people’s suffering did not reach you in the Bundestag.

            Nezahat Baradari (SPD): Such rubbish!

            Lars Lindemann (FDP): The Christmas story goes otherwise.

And just as you were wrong in regards these preventive measures, you are also wrong as to your extolling vaccination. The trivialized little jabs, which should guarantee for an entire year complete protection,

            Andrew Ullmann (SPD): The word “science”, you do not know by name!

without side-effects,

            Leni Breymaier (SPD): No one said that!

became an injection which guaranteed neither protection of others nor oneself nor a protection against a serious case,

            Andrew Ullmann (SPD): The AfD does not understand science!

yet which can bring serious side-effects up to death.

            Christos Pantazis (SPD): Humbug!

I cite Dr. Beate Jäger, internist, from a ZDF report of December 4, 2022:

            I have treated children here who could not longer lift the head,

            Andrew Ullmann (SPD): Internists treat children?

who could not speak. I yesterday saw the mother of a girl who for 8 months stares at the ceiling and must be fed; previously completely healthy…

These are just a few cases of tens of thousands who were vaccinated utterly without need because for them Corona never presented a risk.

            Andrew Ullmann (SPD): The risk is the AfD!

All of you here, from the far left to the CDU, are responsible for that, for what has happened and also for what is still happening.           

            Ralf Stegner (SPD): What happened to them?

            Andrew Ullmann (SPD): The AfD is responsible for division!

So as to avoid further harms, I urgently beg you: Indemnify and rehabilitate the victims, and protect our children,

            Andrew Ullmann (SPD): We protect our children by abolishing the AfD!

so that you may finally end these dangerous vaccination experiments!

And stop with this mask mania! I cite Florian Hoffmann, chief doctor at a children’s intensive-care station in Munich: In many German children’s clinics presently prevail situations which recall those of the third world. The stations are full to bursting, and parents with seriously ill children need in part to spend the night on bunks. – Responsible for the increased incidences of serious RSV [respiratory syncytial virus] cases are, according to Hoffmann and other physicians, compulsory masks, closing of day-cares and contact bans.

            Andrew Ullmann (SPD): Correlation and causality need to be understood!

Every single one of you really should very precisely ponder whether he wants to further burden himself with blame. Vote in favor of our motions [Drucksache 20/4891].

            Kathrin Vogler (Linke): No, no way! No thanks!

That would be a start.

Many thanks.

Steffen Kotré, December 15, 2022, Energy Prices

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/76, p. 8993.

Right honorable Frau President. Right honorable ladies and gentlemen.

The demolition Ampel coalition marches further in the direction of an energy and social policy abyss and into fiscal madness. The sums of the transfer payments are now no longer realistically covered. We thus have an inflation of 10 percent so that, with the therefrom resulting contraction, the citizens are to be saddled with the loss of value. The self-made scarcity economy is administered as in a dictatorship and the citizens will be bled, ladies and gentlemen. As per planned economics, holes will now be plugged with tax monies which we would not have in a functioning social market economy without this dumb and naive sanctions policy.

Despite the price brake, the command energy cost are nevertheless paid, although now plainly in regards the so-called energy transition by the taxpayer. The situation might be immediately defused with nuclear energy, with coal electricity, by ending the useless sanctions. Yet because the Ampel does not do that, we must confirm that we here have to do with a misappropriation of the tax money.  

The Ampel, sadly no longer obligated to the people, shovels the Germans’ money by the handful beyond the actual energy costs to foreign countries: In the U.S.A. for over-priced liquid gas, to India for Russian oil,

            Götz Frömming (AfD): Hear, hear!

now to France and Belgium for Russian LNG.

And Russia nevertheless received additional money, even though the Ampel propaganda wanted to prevent precisely that with these sanctions. Yet the left-green rupture Ampel coalition thereby unfortunately makes us hostages to its hypocritical moral propaganda, ladies and gentlemen.

Normally, there would be a termination when things do not function – yet sadly, plainly not with the Left-Greens. The hindering of lower electricity prices thus must have a reason. Which indeed lies in the intention to financially damage us Germans, to quasi reduce [verdünnen] our economic power, as had been plausibly said by the former Green war minister, Joschka Fischer: To quasi verdünnen.

            Kassem Taher Saleh (Green): Eijeijei!

One instrument for that is to not directly purchase Russian oil and gas of good value, but roundabout and via middlemen.Thus then can this wrecking crew of course make additional money in foreign countries, with for example, the interpolation of the U.S. American firm Conoco Phillips for Qatari gas, of the Belgian Fluxys, of the French Total Energy.

Ladies and gentlemen, with a culpable act of misappropriation of tax money, the entire Federal government sits presumably in the defendants’ box. The citizens bravely pay their high taxes and the government routinely squanders it. That must stop. Therefore, with the AfD, this will be a criminal act of misappropriation of tax money.

            Kathrin Vogler (Linke): Who themselves all sit in jail!

            Christine Aschenberg-Dugnus (FDP): Mein Gott! Who wrote this speech?

The left-green politburo with its planned economy transfer payments not only does not solve the problems in our country, but also intensifies them for the future. The price reduction for customers – now codified in this package of laws – not only does not solve the problems but it effects an incentive for baseless price increases by the businesses themselves, by the suppliers. In the next year, Russian pipeline gas is eliminated and a replacement is lacking. The begging tours of Scholz and Habeck were, as is known, not very productive. When the world economy increases then, ja, LNG will in general be in demand and for us will also be scarcer and more expensive.

Ladies and gentlemen, the damage to Deutschland AG sadly continues.

            Kathrin Vogler (Linke): That is Reichsbürger propaganda which you                                        are spreading here!

The people in our country will however recognize that and then is an end with this politics directed against our people.

            Christine Aschenberg-Dugnus (FDP): Mein Gott! You are embarrassing!

            Timon Gremmels (SPD): Reichsbürger speech!

– You naturally could not restrain yourselves from saying something here. 

            Timon Gremmels (SPD): To that, you have not once a good answer!

            Lukas Köhler (FDP): You would have better said something reasonable!

            Friedrich Merz (CDU/CSU): The Legal Institute of Self-stupefaction.
