According to “Junge Freiheit”, German intelligence services could be authorized to raid private homes and intercept data in secret mode. 

In Germany, in fact, a bill has been drafted aimed at expanding the powers of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. Such an internal intelligence agency could conduct covert operations, accessing computers and phones, interfering with data transmission (interrupting, redirecting, altering or deleting information flows).

“It was afternoon, around 1:10 p.m. I was coming back after buying some shoes for the holidays. Then I saw two men on the street. They looked well cared for,” a member of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern AfD told the magazine, describing an incident that happened on Wednesday, which he will probably never forget. It’s a sensational story. It will cause a sensation.

This happens just before the regional elections, where the AfD is clearly ahead according to the polls. The name of the militant is known to our editorial staff. For security reasons, we have anonymised their identity. “I already suspected that the two men wanted something from me because they followed me in the car as I entered the driveway” – says the person involved.

Then the two men approached the party militant and took out their identification cards. It read: “Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution”. And there were photographs. They were identical cards. They were young. One higher and one lower. Both very polite. The lowest was the spokesman and asked him, “Is there anything you would like to talk about?”

Junge Freiheit obtained a video of the incident. The two men are identifiable. It is immediately clear: the two secret service agents know exactly who they are dealing with. There had been press reports about the person in question. Nothing sensational. Nothing scandalous, and certainly nothing of interest to the internal secret services.

The simple AfD militant immediately made it clear that he did not want to talk to the two agents of the internal secret services. “We understand it, but please think again,” said the shorter of the two. “If you need to talk, you can contact us.” They gave him a business card with a phone number. “Here things are done discreetly” – said one of them, taking his leave with the words: “Think about it”. This is how the politician described the conversation, word for word, at the JF.

Apparently, it was not the only episode of this type in recent days. There appear to have been several attempts to recruit AfD members as whistleblowers. The party condemned the incidents as “attempts at intimidation”. Currently, the AfD is considered a “suspected right-wing extremist organization” at the national level. This allows the Federal Office to use clandestine methods, including the recruitment of whistleblowers.

For the AfD, however, the story is only at the beginning. The behavior and the reassuring answers of the secret services on the fact that they would be voluntary informal answers, which will never be used against the person who agrees to answer the questions, appears to be little credible in method and merit. If the state intends to carry out opinion polls, it does not use the intelligence apparatus, but the press or polling institutes. Above all, it does not recruit more than 4,500 operators for this activity, as it has done.

If anything, this system could be part of a broader European general control system, which is creating a stir and causing much discussion. In the EU, in fact, they would like to monitor the private messaging chats (such as Whatsapp, Telegram, Signal, to be clear) of millions of users in every member state, with the excuse of unearthing elements of investigation against child pornography.

In simple terms, the Ursula majority would like to “outsource” the very delicate task of spying on messages to private companies. While looking for pedophile material, they read (and ask?) the conversations of each of us, for a possible profiling on political trends, not caring about any form of privacy, with the laudable excuse of looking for perverted maniacs. According to this reasoning, we all become potential pedophiles to be controlled, to know how we think about the sensitive issues that the System is most interested in.

Very dangerous and absolutely to be avoided is the possibility of the creation of dossiers in the hands of private companies, of the majority of Europeans, which do not have criminal tendencies towards children. A new KGB of thought would be born, which would replace the role of the police and investigative bodies of the Judiciary. In Germany it may already be functioning in view of the elections that see the AfD as the favorite and, at the same time, feared by the establishment for its positions on immigration, on the LGBTQ+ community, on an alleged nostalgia for an authoritarianism, which actually died in Germany in the Berlin bunker, 81 years ago.

In exceptional cases, German intelligence services would be allowed to employ teenagers aged 16 and over as informants. Citizens may not be informed of the application of these measures, which are kept very confidential. An EU and a Germany whose majority cares so much about children, how can, at the same time, believe, as per woke ideology, that pedophilia is a normal sexual tendency and allow itself to use very young people as credible spies for adults? All this appears as the blatant violation of the fundamental rights of every person, both at the constitutional level and of the “ius” in force.

The exploitation of minors for activities that are totally inappropriate to their education and at an early age, such as spying on parents or teachers, becomes a repugnant form of dictatorial activity, because it leads directly to the state indoctrination of children. The moral of the tragedy could become, for young people, the repression of every right-wing, patriotic, sovereignist, traditional and identitarian ideal, and for adults the psycho-police who invite them not to vote for those parties, which, like the AfD, are not obedient to the wishes of Brussels globalism. 

The German government justifies these legislative changes as a necessary response to evolving threats to national security, particularly those emanating from Russia. By strengthening the mandate of its intelligence apparatus, Berlin aims to consolidate its defenses against cyberattacks and state-sponsored disinformation campaigns.

But if this is really the goal, why treat us all as potential racists or terrorists, using our data, as when there was the STASI? Environmental and satellite interception systems have already been at the forefront for years. Technology is able to improve them with artificial intelligence, managing, according to some analysts, to achieve optimal results in the investigative and evidentiary fields. It is disturbing that these tools can pass from the Police and the Judiciary to technicians of private companies!

The European Conservative writes that, with this bill, “Germany has shown once again that it fears nothing more than democracy itself, especially when people vote the ‘wrong’ way. After all, the EU has already annulled the outcome of unwelcome presidential elections, why not do it in the continent’s largest superpower as well?

They are also discussing abolishing states’ veto rights within the conference, to prevent right-wing voters from having a say in federal matters.

The reason for the panic is simple: the AfD is currently at 42% in the polls in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, 18 points higher than the conservative CDU party, enough to obtain an absolute majority and form a government on its own after the September 6 elections. The party is also in first place in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern with 36%.

Under current legislation, the interior ministers of each of the 16 German Länder have access to the databases of the Federal Domestic Intelligence Agency (BfV), as well as to the national security files of the other Länder. The real concern is what would happen if one or more of those ministers came from the AfD. A party that has spent years under surveillance by the German secret services may suddenly realize how undemocratic and politically motivated the investigations against it have been, ultimately aimed at excluding him from political life!

That is why the interior ministers, all from the ruling CDU and the socialist SPD party, are looking for a way to isolate entire states from the federal structure that guarantees this flow of information, even at the cost of significantly weakening interstate cooperation in the fight against terrorism and other areas related to national security.

Apparently, Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s CDU has not considered how deeply undemocratic and dangerous these changes can be for national security. The party says that these are simply “technical” measures necessary to “protect the constitution” from the AfD. “Should it become necessary and desirable to separate a state office from the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution [BfV] for the purpose of protecting the Constitution, rapid implementation would be possible from a purely technical point of view,” said Marc Henrichmann, chairman of the Federal Parliament’s Intelligence Control Committee.

In Rhineland-Palatinate, lawmakers raised the threshold for launching parliamentary investigations after the AfD exceeded the previous limit in the last election.

What they may not understand is that many voters perceive attacks on the AfD as attacks on their own political preferences, and any such incident seems to heighten dissatisfaction with traditional parties. The latest INSA poll of June 15 gives the AfD an approval rating of 29% at the national level, well above the CDU (22%), the Greens (14.5%), the SPD (12%) and the Left (10.5%).

Last but not least, in Germany, “by mistake”, the 1,108-page report on the position of the AfD was published in the media, which should have remained confidential. Mathias Brodkorb, former SPD minister of state, after reading the report, wrote in Cicero magazine: “It was never a question of protecting the BfV from espionage, but of protecting it from critical public opinion. There are no relevant intelligence sources to protect. The agency for the protection of the constitution has virtually no confidential information about the AfD. It is based almost exclusively on publicly available sources.”

The report is largely a collection of quotes from public statements by AfD politicians, including leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla, as well as representatives at the state and local levels. The quotes range from innocuous statements to “clearly unconstitutional statements,” Brodkorb wrote. However, the BfV declared all of them, without distinction, as unconstitutional. “This is not only unconvincing, but it is patently false,” Brodkorb concluded.

The facts would push anyone to fear these legislative interventions as dangerous to personal freedom more than the nationalist ideas of the AfD. We know, however, that if they want Weidel’s party to end up like Golden Dawn in Greece, despite the amazing consensus, they will do so with some excuse.

And they are the same ones who tear their clothes because Marco Rubio has called a summit on Antifa terrorism, which, evidently, for some, is right and praiseworthy…
