“The traditional parties have failed in Germany. Their policies have led to economic stagnation, social unrest and the erosion of national identity.”
That’s not an accident. Breaking down national identity, destruction of economy, food supply, and energy production is the intentional plan. These people are not as stupid as they would have you believe. They are autocratic placeman dictators who gaslight their electorate while taking their instructions from elsewhere.
It is also no accident that these apparently stupid policies are being enacted all over the western world. Chaos, poverty and degrowth for us, enrichment and power for them.

I’m inclined to agree. There are some very stupid people in the corridors of power, but corruption and spite are also responsible for the mad policies being inflicted on us

Yes they might use different methods to get to Agenda 2030 but, just like Lockdowns it’s a Globalist agenda. It is also obvious how the MSM is captured by not talking about the CAN Bill that will facilitate all the above. This has massive implications for living standards, they didn’t shut up about living standards and the youth being free to travel etc, yet radio silence. Plenty of time to bang on about Greg Wallis and his cockney and randy humour.

I have to say, I’m very confused about what constitutes foreign interference in elections.

I’m pretty sure Romanian elections have been invalidated for much less than this.

Obama chimed into the Brexit campaign very publicly with his opinion that Britain should stay in the EU.

Does Laboir sending members to help the Harris campaign (talk about a waste of time…) not constitute foreign interference?

Maybe it only matters when it’s Russia (supposedly) doing the interference.

At this point I just laugh at how ridiculous our world has become.

Election interference to my mind is things like faking votes, destroying votes, voting twice, preventing people from voting, preventing candidates from standing or campaigning, censorship of political messages. Anything done in plain sight to persuade voters to vote a certain way, whoever is doing the persuading, seems legitimate to me. Germans are well aware who Musk is and are free to ignore him.
Yup, clown world.

Yeah, I agree. Basically, things the CIA does to rig and manipulate elections. Like in Romania, most recently.

I just think it’s getting to the point of farcical that the excuse used to overturn a perfectly valid vote in Romania is even less than what Musk just did in Germany.

I wonder if they’ll have the balls to use it as an excuse to overturn a result in Germany if the AfD win or win enough to be kingmaker there.

If they do, they’d at least be consistent but obviously they’d be the ones interfering in the election like in Romania. And if they didn’t, then they’d look even more ridiculous for their complete.lack of coherence.

Musk’s analysis could apply to the UK. The people in power here are very dangerous. Just think about their stance on all the major policy matters.

I’ve got one criticism of what Musk said. He’s talks about the need for batteries to store electricity and even out the amount of electricity renewables produce, presumably because Tesla has invested heavily in battery storage. Presumably if he didn’t have a vested interested in battery storage he’d realise that base load generation, nuclear or fossil fuel powered, doesn’t need massive amounts of battery storage.

He did not specify renewables, so he may have been talking about using a [relatively] small amount of battery in conjunction with nuclear instead of supplimenting nuclear with gas to deal with the peaks and troughs. Even a small amount of battery storage would provide a large market for used Tesla batteries to be sold into.

He could also be talking about domestic batteries which they sell today to store the excess from your solar panels, if you have them.

In any case, The overall thrust of the message is so reasonable and on point that I’m not bothered about his mentioning batteries without detailing the context for them.

Do you have more information on used batteries? I have understood that they are a great fire risk.

But think it through just a little further. Why does he have an interest in batteries? Wouldn’t he need to be convinced of their benefit before investing in them?

Musk has realised the power of the globalist propaganda and in order to break free then he must use his influence to tell the people of Germany what they have not been told.
It is no coincidence that the BBC broadcasting to other European countries receive huge funding from these globalists.
It is why they are going for GB News, Toby, Guido, Talk radio because the people are nothing without knowledge.
I am also a victim and had no idea about the jabs until Prof Yeadon was able to speak out using a ‘free speech’ outlet.

 “Anyone who tries to influence our election from the outside, anyone who supports an anti-democratic, inhuman party like the AfD, be it state-organised influence from Russia or the concentrated power of money and media from Elon Musk and his billionaire friends

But Gates the EU and the Davos deviants can carry on as normal because they represent our Globalist cause.

Burgtard repeats the lie that was peddled by the Remainer crew here including former PM Call Me Dave in the propaganda brochure he wasted £9m of our money sending to every household in breach of the referendum regulations – leaving the EU does NOT mean you HAVE to leave the Single Market (Common Regulatory Area). And before some ignoramus pops up and whines annoyingly that it makes you a ‘ruletaker’ less than 25% of the rules are by the EU – the vast majority are just application of global rules.
