Tino Chrupalla, June 30, 2022, NATO Strategy

AfD Kompakt, June 30, 2022.

The new NATO strategy drives a wedge into the continent of Europe. It threatens to commit to the present confrontation with Russia on a long-term basis. Who is interested in again bringing Europe together with Russia after the end of the war in the Ukraine may not in the long-term exclude Russia, and make impossible a common security architecture for years if not decades.

Apparently NATO constructs a new, ideological image of the enemy. It thus exceeds the duties of a defensive alliance and manages an ideological instead of a security policy. The allegedly values-guided policy, which resembles the foreign policy of the Greens, does not correspond to Germany’s interests. To make possible long-term peace and prosperity on the continent of Europe, a policy guided by interests is required.

Peter Boehringer, July 5, 2022, German Trade Balance

AfD Kompakt, July 5, 2022.

What Merkel prepared in the 16 years of her anti-Germany policy, the red-green-yellow Ampel now brings home: Under the Ampel, the life’s blood of the German industry and economy will be turned off, quite consistently and almost literally. Yet its surpluses were and are the source of our prosperity! Without good export numbers – say, in the important Asiatic markets of China and Russia – there are no long-term realizable imports. It may then be that one can live on a systematic, long-term basis of indebtedness, like the U.S.A. on its world reserve currency dollar, or one may have a “Big Spender” in Europe like the EU’s southern countries, so far by means of German EU transfer payments. The Great Awakening will come even for those transfer recipients when in the future Germany can no longer be the world’s paymaster.   

If the government in all fields does not finally change course (an energy policy on a “green”, unrealistic basis, a sanctions policy with harm primarily for one’s own country, CO₂ duties mania, crippling Corona preventive measures, an EU planned economy on the basis of mountains of debt, an economically expensive and harmful immigration policy), Germany’s deficit situation will not have been a one-time slip but will become a long-term condition.

The German success model is thus acutely endangered – and with it disappears our prosperity when a future, long-term trade balance deficit of the greatest EU paymaster will also further weaken the value of the euro and so will further fire up the inflation by means of rising import prices.

As a result of rising prices in a deficit economy, the people will no longer be able to compensate for their sinking purchasing power with higher wages. With the German prosperity also disappears our ability to subsidize the entire world or in the long-term rescue the euro. Will the anti-rational government or the world come to its senses? The German poet Friedrich Hebbel already foresaw it coming 160 years ago: “It is possible that the German disappears from the world stage, for…all nations hate him, the good like the wicked. Yet if they really for once succeed in driving him out, a situation will arise in which they again wanted to scrape him out of the grave with spikes.”

Karsten Hilse, June 24, 2022, Energy Policy

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 20/45, p. 4672.

Frau President. Ladies and gentlemen. Dear countrymen.

Once again the old parties stand before a shambles which their energy policy –as foretold by us – has served up. Once again the AfD can only lay the finger in the wound; since once again the perilous way to ruin will be pursued at full steam.

            Lisa Badum (Greens):  Ja, ja!

To the self-made problems of the already immense yet willed increased expense of energy now comes the Ukraine war as a fire accelerator which furthermore has unleashed an unspeakable farce of sanctions against our most important energy suppliers – with catastrophic harm to Germany. Unimpressed by all the sanctions, step by step Putin now shuts off the gas spigot. Clear thinking people, who are aware that Germany with its sanctions most harms ourselves, which has finally, categorically demanded the throttling, have according to Minister Habeck a pro-fascist position. Yet so to believe that Putin is permanently threatened by the stop of the natural gas and oil connection, that he himself does not arrive at the idea to turn the delivery screw, one must be very dumb or very ideological, which of course comes to the same thing.

Panic now breaks out in this country – fully justified; for Germany will scarcely endure the coming winter if many miracles do not occur. Many of the shutdowns blamed on climate change of fully intact and secure power plants have already ensued. Brown coal mines have been closed and the production of domestic shale gas has been made impossible. Now you lead the people to believe that you wanted to actively alter something to avoid the self-generated shortages. You could do that with a 180 degree change in your entire energy policy. You nevertheless hang like puppets on the strings of the wind power lobby and the planners of the Great Reset.  

These whisper to you what you here assert; for example, that ever more bird shredders would have a positive effect on our supply problems. Completely absurd! They are neither of use to the climate – which all know – nor with your inconstant electricity do they solve the supply problem. Just the opposite: You amplify it; since to every wind industry installation belongs a gas power plant so as to compensate for the rapid wind fluctuations, driven by gas which we do not have! Not today and not tomorrow. Since the world market does not wait on Germany as a gas customer. Here also a still deeper bow before the Qataris or before “Sleepy Joe” is of no use. Where nothing is, nothing can be delivered.

And then you and others assert that nuclear power plants could not continue to operate because, for example, the fuel rods are lacking; for that, it is too late. Yet almost always when Communists open their mouths, they lie. Since, as the Westinghouse firm told the Handelsblatt, they had already in March informed the Federal government that delivery can be very well made on time. Yet since then nothing more has been heard from the Federal government. The time window is now rapidly closing. An inquiry would need quickly follow.

We thus can here only state: God have mercy on us; since truly none of our enemies would have been able to think up an energy policy so destructive against one’s own people. That, only you and your Germany haters are able to do.

Many thanks.
