A prominent Austrian Covid critic’s 2022 book on ‘transhumanism’ is being threatened with a ban in Germany. German authorities maintain an ‘index’ or list of banned books, which can be owned but not sold in the country. Although the ban is in fact general, the indexing is officially supposed to serve the purpose of child protection, and indexing decisions are taken by the so-called “Federal Agency for Child and Youth Protection in the Media”.

The book, the cover of which can be seen below, is titled Transhumanism: War Against Humanity. The sub-subtitle also visible on the cover reads: “The jab [i.e., the Covid jab] was just the beginning.”

The author, Stefan Magnet, posted a photo of the application for indexing on his social media. The application was submitted by the German domestic intelligence agency, the so-called “Office for the Protection of the Constitution” or Verfassungsschutz. As noted in the visible portion of the document, the intelligence agency found the book worthy of indexing due to the, on its assessment, “genuinely far-Right orientation of the publication”.

Magnet also posted a photo of some of the cited passages on which this assessment is supposed to be based. Apart from criticism – such as one would expect given the topic –  of Klaus Schwab’s “Great Reset”, the World Economic Forum and Yuval Noah Harari, they also include passages such as the following:

I remain convinced that a bankrupt and sick monetary system has come to its end and that the Covid panic is supposed to be a diversion from this systematically programmed end. And I am also convinced that one of the main objectives was to test how far one could go – and that the ruling elites at the same time were refining a totalitarian, digital system of surveillance.

And:

In fact, the globalists and transhumanists are conducting a war unlike any other in the history of humanity: a war, namely, against the human being as such. The human being is supposed to be genetically altered, adapted, permeated by nanotechnologies, and managed by computers. It is an all-encompassing struggle at the end of which either humanity survives or perishes forever.

In another passage mentioned separately by Magnet, the author merely writes: “To lead a good life – and to pass it on through numerous progeny. This is a meaning of life that I am happy to embrace.” Magnet says that the point is to oppose “transhumanism” with a new humanism.

According to Magnet, he was given one week by the German child protection agency to respond to the accusations of the domestic intelligence agency, after which the ban would apparently become effective. But, according to an update he published on his social media on Thursday, Magnet has been able to obtain an extension of this deadline until sometime in October, and he plans to use the reprieve to bring out a new print edition of the book in the meantime.

Stefan Magnet is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of AUF1, an Austrian-based alternative news channel that made a name for itself during the Covid period for its critical coverage of Covid vaccination and other Covid-response measures. As previously reported on the Daily Sceptic, in November 2023, German authorities banned the broadcasting of AUF1 in Germany.

Transhumanism? No idea what ot means. No interest in finding out. Now if you had written about the unsafe ind ineffective covid vaxxes, the scamdemic or the chem trails we witness in the sky daily, or the manmade manipulation of the weather by DARPA, NOAA, HAARP, DEWS, DOD I and others would take the time to read.

The fact that they want his book banned is proof that they are guilty of everything he states. If it was all fantasy & untrue, they’d take no notice whatsoever.

The conspiracy to demonise the white race and to dilute it irrevocably with unauthorised unending mass immigration, all over Europe, is all the proof that’s needed to know that the people he speaks against are evil, with evil intent.

UK and German Government defence departments have produced a joint policy: Human Augmentation: The Dawn of a New Paradigm. This concerns transhumanism especially in the context of wars. There have been questions on it in the UK Parliament, it is downloadable as a PDF and there is a long video on YouTube.

Human augmentation sounds like the kind of euphemism for having babies which would be used by people who approve of chest feeding. It reminds me of a diocesan scheme to increase church attendance which I read several years ago. It listed things like the use of the church for secular activities, lectures and social groups. The last suggestion was “biological addition”.

Mostly it’s about augmenting humans to weaponise them. Check it out. It’s not known who will volunteer.

Serious question. Why did we fight a long and costly war to get rid of Hitler and free Germany?

I can’t see much difference.

This is not confined to Germany matey. Klaus Schwab and his little demon Yuval Noah Harari are the puppetteers, Germany is just one of their many many puppets, which include our own government.

That so many so-called “world leaders” have sat and listened to the spoutings of this evil entity at Davos, with none ever walking out or trying to disrupt those talks only serves to demon-strate (hyphen added) how much they are in thrall to satanic agendas.

They sit in thrall because he articulates a future for mankind divided between the controlling elite and the controlled. They see themselves as part of the privileged controller class.

I wonder what in particular triggered them. Probably all of it, though I do wonder if there’s a sensitivity around transhumanism – perhaps it’s the next push? Assuming “far right” is meant to imply Fascism or Nazism, none of his opinions qualify, unless they are worried about “transhuman rights”. His opinions seem anti collectivist and pro freedom – that is what passes for “far right” these days. People are so dimwitted.

What would he make of mothers with toddlers in pushchairs, mothers scrolling on their phones, toddlers transfixed with eyes on screens?
