TL;DR
  • He opens on the European Union taking another big kicking, the second in the last number of weeks after the Icelandic people decided not to restart negotiations to join. The latest is Germany, where he says the Alternative for Deutschland party pulled in 44% of the vote in the Saxony-Anhalt region, a region quite close to Berlin that comprises about 2 million people. His reading is that so many people have had enough of the status quo and the political establishment and are looking for alternatives. The platform he lists is remigration, which he explains as the deportation of people from Germany, opposition to the mass immigration agenda, opposition to the euro and opposition to the continuation of the war in Ukraine.
  • He calls those positive developments in terms of what is taking place, and then immediately qualifies it. Alice Weidel, the leader of the party, used to work with Goldman Sachs, he says, and the party is also bankrolled by many billionaires. On his reading that leaves not really much change for the ordinary German, who is suffering from the cost of living disaster, sluggish economic growth and the closure of many key industries. His example from the last week is the announcement of four Volkswagen factories closing, one of them open well over a century, which he puts down to the economic fallout of the last number of years, COVID, the debt crisis, the war in Ukraine and the shutting off of the cheap energy from Russia.
  • The establishment response is the part he watches closest. AfD have already said they want to start negotiations and look for peace, he says, and they are already looking at being stopped by the establishment in Germany, where the vote of Friedrich Merz, who he calls the ex-BlackRock man, has collapsed in this regional election. He points to constitutional restrictions being considered on the party's funding, its access to meetings and its access to so-called confidential information important to the intelligence and security of the German state. He also flags the announcement last week around the Leipzig and Halle drone attack, whose timing just in advance of the regional elections he finds very interesting, and which he says did not sway voters standing on an anti-war platform.
  • He ends on who might govern and what he expects to follow. Much of the vote sits in the old Eastern Germany part, he says, which had a lot of basic social services and has been left behind for years because of neoliberal policies. The key to leading the state, on his account, is another party led by Sahra Wagenknecht, formerly of Die Linke, whose BSW stands against the mass immigration, for redistribution of wealth and against the war in Ukraine, looking for peace and an end to the sanctions which he says are imploding the German economy. He raises the possibility of an alliance of sorts in Saxony-Anhalt, expects the European elites to reach for censorship, the Digital Services Act and other forms of control rather than the underlying issues, and asks what the answer will be on the US bases on German territory as a stronger German military is built up, adding that we all know where that got us before.

Hello everyone

Hello everyone. The European Union have got another big kicking. This is the second big kicking they've got in the last number of weeks following on from the Icelandic people's decision not to restart negotiations to join the European Union. The latest has been in Germany where the Alternative for Deutschland political party has pulled in 44% of the vote in the Saxony-Anhalt region. This is a region quite close to Berlin that comprises about 2 million people and they voted nearly.

Overwhelmingly in favor of Alternative for Deutschland. Now, so many people have had enough of the status quo and the political establishment and they're looking for alternatives. And this party has said that they're standing up for remigration, which essentially means the deportation of people from Germany. They also speak against the mass immigration agenda. They're speaking also against the euro and interestingly enough against continuation of the war in Ukraine. They're all positive developments in terms of what's taking.

Place, but at the same time, Alice Weidel, who is the leader of this party, used to work with Goldman Sachs and the party is also bankrolled by many billionaires. Interesting. Not really much change for the ordinary German who is suffering from the cost of living disaster and sluggish economic growth and the closure of many key industries in the last week. There's been announcement of a four Volkswagen factories, one that it was was open well over a century, have.

Closed because of the economic disaster falling out from the last number of years in terms of COVID, the debt crisis, and also the war in Ukraine and the shutting off of the cheap energy from Russia. Now, AfD already said that they want to start negotiations, look for peace. And again, let's see how this develops over the next period of time. Now, AfD as well are looking at being stopped by the establishment in Germany, Friedrich Merz, the ex-BlackRock man as well.

Their vote has collapsed in this regional election. And already looking at constitutional restrictions on the AfD in terms of funding and access to meetings and so-called confidential information that is very important to the intelligence and security of the German state. They remember about the announcement last week of the European Union around the Leipzig/Halle drone so-called attack that took place. Timing of this was very interesting, just in advance of the regional elections. But seems to have not swayed the voters who.

Are standing up on an anti-war platform

Are standing up on an anti-war platform. So, interesting. But there many would be on the old Eastern Germany part where they they had a lot of basic social services. And have been left behind for years because of the neoliberal policies as well. And what is also interesting is that the key part of going into leading the state of Saxony-Anhalt will be looking at another party, party led by Sahra Wagenknecht, who used to be of Die Linke, the party.

And have been left behind for years because of the neoliberal policies as well

Now of war. But this party now, since she set up, was the BSW. They are very much standing up against the mass immigration, looking for redistribution of wealth, and against the war in Ukraine, looking for peace and an end to the sanctions, which is imploding the German economy. So, let's see how this develops over the next period of time. Perhaps there could be an alliance of sorts in Saxony-Anhalt. Perhaps the European elites are up in arms over it. They're.

Looking at various forms of restriction. They're saying talking about censorship rather than looking at the underlying issues to lead the people why they vote a certain way. So, let's see as I said how this develops, but interestingly enough AFD are also bankrolled by billionaires and many billionaires enjoy their own interests and deregulation and access to state contracts perhaps that they'll profit off over the common time as well. So, again, is there much change for me people? Well, time will tell. I.

Don't think it's going to be the massive difference that people are looking for. Constantly using the agenda will probably continue in terms of pushing the private equity, hedge fund, corporate agenda that leads this rotten and corrupt system right across Europe and which of the western world. And let's see what the answers are towards the US bases on their territory as well as they build up a stronger German military. We all know where that got us before. So,.

They're in play now and we'll see how this develops over the next period of time as well. Let me know in the comments what you think about the talk place, but it is a kicking to the European establishment and rather than stand up and look at the answers, they'll double down and not blame themselves for many of the policies which have led the people voting a certain way, but that's the way they always look at it, isn't.

It? Look at censorship, digital services act, and other forms of control as the drive towards the super national European Union continues, but it's getting a bigger kicking day by day. So, thanks so much for all the support of my videos. Really appreciate them and thanks again for sharing them. Some Dublin seeing them. So, long and all. See you soon.

A 44% vote for the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt, and why he thinks little will change for ordinary Germans.

Dooley reads the Alternative for Deutschland result in Saxony-Anhalt as a second kicking for the European Union in a matter of weeks, after the Icelandic people decided not to restart negotiations to join. He says the party pulled in 44% of the vote in a region close to Berlin of about 2 million people, standing for remigration, against the mass immigration agenda, against the euro and against the continuation of the war in Ukraine. He calls those positive developments and then sets against them that the party leader, Alice Weidel, used to work with Goldman Sachs and that the party is bankrolled by many billionaires. His argument is that the German establishment, including Friedrich Merz, whose vote he says collapsed in this regional election, is already reaching for constitutional restrictions on the party rather than asking why people voted this way. He does not expect the result to be the massive difference people are looking for, with ordinary Germans living through a cost of living disaster and the announcement last week of four Volkswagen factories closing.
