'Populists' like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are a "threat to democracy", chant the mainstream media. In fact, they are just reminding our politicians what they are supposed to be doing, says Prof James Alexander.

If you wondered where the MSM get all their lurid stories attributing 'extreme weather' to climate change, look no further than a new job ad for a "researcher" focused on creating alarmist propaganda, says Chris Morrison.

Jump To Comment: 1 2As survey after survey shows that young people in eastern germany have been handed down from their parents a positive attitude to the GDR, the powers-that-be do their best to counter-attack. I doubt the veracity of this story.
However, all indications are that the Stasi assisted the RAF in its military campaign.
Earlier this week I saw this election tide story launched on the German daily "Bild" with an exclusive interview with the ex-Detective Chief Inspector Kurras on why he shot Benno Ohnesorg complete with many archive articles and very professionally and carefully padded out with archive articles, "expert" and "insider" comments and not too much tie-in with Chancellor Merckel's recent revealations on how the STASI had tried to recruit her.
the newspaper "Bild" haven't really paid much attention to other EU states' election campaigns other than the usual fodder covered by all :- Irish Roman Catholic Child Abuse, Berlusconi Demographic Shagging Girlies Appeal & British Gravy Train wannabe fat cat MPs.
& that's how I initially read it, until I registered how many changes, discussions and background noises the news was bringing up on the old internet radar I pride myself on being a dab hand at interpreting.
Wikipedia edits came along with lengthy discussion on contemporary German activist sites as diverse as indymedia to the black block to the more sinister fash variety whilst the popularity of the youtube vids of the event and statements of both Baader Meinhof and "Bewegung 2. Juni" moved from relative moribund status after their last peak of public interest (which came with the release of the movie "The BM complex". & so naturally the US so-called mainstream "liberal media" picked up on the story.
& that's when I thought, oh heck - Janis Joplin, this is when you would want me to remind people not of the facts of history nor the supposed true reasons and causative agents or conspiratorial impeta of societal change, but rather the vibe of revolution
Because quite honestly I don't think it matters whether or not Kurras was acting on STASI orders when he shot the innocent student Ohnesorg no more than I think it matters who shot or ordered shot JFK.
They died & that is that.
& lest we ever forget the night of November 9th 1989, the wall came down - not because either the leadership of the West or East had planned it (for it is undisputed that neither side had any clue the garbled press conferences given by DDR would cause Berliners to collapse the border crossings)
http://www.indymedia.ie/article/62069
Some would have marked that event with the music of Janis Joplin's hymn to the Baader Meinhof - "Oh lord won't you buy me a mercedes benz" (thankfully not the contemporary "mercedes daimler chrysler benz") Others would have marked it as I did with Rostropovitch playing Bach.
