AfD Wins Big, CDU Collapse, Merz is Finished (The Duran)

Germany just witnessed a political earthquake as the AfD scored a historic landslide in Saxony Anhalt while Chancellor Merz's CDU saw its support cut in half. In this episode we break down why the so called firewall against the AfD may finally be collapsing and why being denied power might actually be the best outcome for the party. Is this the beginning of the end for the CDU and the German establishment as we know it?

Germany Is at a BREAKING POINT as AfD on Brink of Historic VICTORY! (Steve Turley)

A significant political shift is underway in Germany, as the Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) party is on the verge of gaining substantial power amid the declining influence of mainstream parties. The so-called "firewall" established by German liberal elites to exclude the AfD has backfired, leading to an increase in support for the party, particularly in regions experiencing rapid demographic changes. Recent polling indicates the AfD could surpass 30% nationally and achieve over 40% in key state elections, reflecting a growing discontent with traditional political structures.

Alice Weidel: Germany Is Becoming A “Danger Zone” Under The Political Establishment (Financial Express)

AfD chair Alice Weidel delivers a forceful speech at CPAC 2025, attacking Germany's political establishment over migration, energy prices, inflation, national security and freedom of speech.

Weidel argues that establishment politics has turned Germany into what she describes as a "danger zone" for its own citizens. She accuses Friedrich Merz and the political establishment of abandoning voters after adopting elements of the AfD's programme.

She also attacks Germany's Office for the Protection of the Constitution, accusing the institution of being used against political opponents and arguing that attempts to restrict or potentially ban the AfD are authoritarian.

Weidel presents the AfD as a movement focused on national sovereignty, secure borders, law and order and free speech. She also calls for peace in Ukraine and strong relations with Germany's European neighbours and the United States.



The same situation is true in most Western countries today. You can stop this mess by voting for Nationalist parties at the first opportunity.

Russia Announces Will Smash Ukraine's Energy System; Zelensky Blames Others As Kiev Hit Again, Sumy (Alexander Mercouris)

Russia has announced that it is preparing massive strikes against Ukraine’s energy system, a warning that comes as Kiev endures nightly drone and missile attacks and Zelensky scrambles to blame others for the devastating ammunition dump explosion in the city.

Ukraine Loses Black Sea Ports and Air Defense Options (The Duran)

An excellent discussion about the war. It appears that there is now a Western blackout on the battlefield situation since Ukraine is losing badly.

COL. Douglas Macgregor : Trump’s Dwindling Options (Judging Freedom)

The US is not equipped to fight a long war, certainly not against fortress Iran. In the face of a looming economic crisis, brought about by a shortage of oil, the only wise option would be to agree to Iranian terms. The problem in Washington is that it's under the control of Israel First neocons who want war at almost any cost. Everyone is expendable to these people. The only good thing is that the whole world can see what's going on, which puts pressure on the belligerent party to back off.  

The lesson from the war against Iran, and also Ukraine, is that things have devolved towards static war, where movement on the battlefield has largely been stopped via the use of drones. Things are more like World War I where defence rules over maneuverer.  

A few days ago the Russians signalled that they are now prepared to expand their actions to more directly target other European countries. Colonel Macgregor points out that the West is unprepared for such a confrontation where there are no counters to Russian drone and ballistic missile attacks.

Andrew Bridgen in Budapest: Reiner Fuellmich Update, Nuremberg II Plans & Big Pharma’s Next Moves (Liz Gunn)

In this wide-ranging interview from Budapest, Andrew Bridgen updates listeners on his authorised call with imprisoned lawyer Reiner Fuellmich, which was mysteriously cut off as Reiner described his criminal abduction from Mexico by German authorities.

Bridgen shares that Reiner remains resilient after nearly three years in prison and is planning a global “Nuremberg II” process - one major hearing with top expert witnesses whose evidence can then be used by every country to indict their own leaders.

Bridgen also discusses his meeting with Hungarian biochemist Professor Laszlo (formerly of UCLA), who has been advising Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and believes a six-month clock is now ticking on mandatory double-blind saline placebo trials for COVID and other vaccines.

The conversation covers threats facing RFK Jr., the role of adjuvants and modified mRNA, the recent attack on Anne Widdecombe, Tommy Robinson’s treatment, the ongoing case of journalist Alex Belfield, and the systematic use of lawfare against those who challenge official narratives.

A candid discussion on the state of free speech, justice, and accountability across the West.



Bridgen talks about collecting expert evidence for a new Nuremberg trial, but the test to prosecute people in authority is VERY SIMPLE. All that needs to be established is whether the person coerced or tricked someone into taking an experimental medicine. Also, RFK jr's life is under threat which is why he is struggling to make any positive changes.

Secret Russia-Germany Meeting. West Weighs Taurus Missiles and Seizing Russian Assets (The Duran)

The actions of the Europeans, to prolong the war, and damage Russia, look designed to escalate the conflict and drag their countries directly into the fighting.

Don't Look to China for Censorship — Look to GERMANY (Kim Iversen)

If you want to know how far a government will go to police speech, don't look to China — look to Germany. Satirist and playwright C.J. Hopkins, an American who's lived in Berlin for years, is back on the show with news that Germany has indicted him again — this time not for two tweets, but for writing, publishing, and advertising his book at all. He walks Kim through the whole saga: three armed police at his door, his computer seized, his wife and cats terrorized — over the cover art of a book that used a Covid mask stretched across the swastika of William Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, meant as a warning about authoritarianism, not an endorsement of it. He covers the two tweets that first got him charged with "spreading Nazi propaganda," his acquittal, the prosecutor's appeal, the appellate trial held under terrorist-level security by three judges who'd clearly already decided, and the Constitutional Court refusing to even review his case — no explanation given. The court's own reasoning is the stunning part: they conceded he's not a Nazi and spent his life writing anti-authoritarian work — the "problem" was that his art criticized the Covid measures and the government. Meanwhile Der Spiegel covers and other books with swastikas sell freely in German bookstores. As Hopkins puts it, this isn't a legal story, it's a power story — "we'll crush you" is the message, and it's the same one being sent to Covid dissidents, pro-Palestinian protesters, and the Ottawa truckers alike. He and Kim get into the partisan blindness on both sides ("you're not going to be in power forever — and when you're not, you're the target"), the 30–40,000 euros in legal fees his readers have covered, his sentencing this October, and why he keeps sticking his finger in their eye anyway: because rights you stop insisting on are rights you never get back.
C.J. Hopkins is an award-winning American playwright, novelist, and political satirist based in Berlin, and author of The Rise of the New Normal Reich — banned in Germany.

Douglas Macgregor: Disastrous NATO Summit - Renewed War on Iran & Russia (Glenn Diesen)

Douglas Macgregor is a retired Colonel, combat veteran, and former senior advisor to the U.S. Secretary of Defense. Col. Macgregor discusses the NATO Summit.



Macgregor smacking down the nonsense of European leaders wanting to go to war against Russia as their own countries face economic and societal ruin, plus Trump locking the US into war against Iran - both of these goals being neocon projects. Macgregor thinks that this agenda, specifically the war against Iran, will eventually come undone due to the economic calamity it will cause. For the Israelis, that control almost all US politicians (and many Europeans), their goal is to go scorched earth on neighbouring countries, in the same way as Genghis Khan, as demonstrated by their incursions into Gaza and Lebanon, until the clock runs out. The last part of the interview deals with the rise of Turkey, and also Iran, as key regional powers. This has made them targets of the Israelis, where Macgregor and Diesen considered defensive measures that would make attacking them too costly - such as these nations possessing one or two nukes or many thousands of ballistic missiles and drones.
