a f d party, short for alternative for germany, but the meaning deutschland, which means germany, of course, is the one leading in the polls. and at least 3 states are regions and nipping at the hills for 1st place across many more. now joining us from germany to explain the political situation, there is doctor, i go home, or he is an economist, and the publisher of workshop act, well, a business publication out there in germany, you can learn more about dr. hummer and his work at homer brief dot d e. so dr. hummer in this new year, germany has witnessed a massive polarization of society. the massive rise of the f d and, and recently, new big anti a, f d protests and all across major cities. some of describe these anti sd protests as

a result of this massive propaganda campaign by those in power right now. who feel threatened by this new party if the polling 2nd nationally and 1st in several former east germany areas talk to us about these new anti sd protests and who's behind them as well? what the 10 say. and what we have proof is that people are hired and paid for attending these protest. in hamburg, we have proof that in the universities they paid students 60 years per day for attending these protests. and what attends do is they, on the saw with the science that they want to destroy the system and so on. and the credit unions are mobilizing their people. so we have and schools teachers are pulling this school kids to these protests. so this is not

something where people go on street because they are so content with the government . the opposite side is the case. these are some propaganda really prove. i've done the things that we only know from east germany before 1989 and. busy this is scary because it's a 1st time that we in the west sea and 70 years, see that the government organizes the smartest and even more or less forces or pays people to attend the smartest. but it has nothing to do with the waste of being in favor off of the government. for example, if i was complaining that the people from the christian democratic party, which is the expanded government, as you would say, it's a profile my, a position and that they were attempting these protests. so they said we have nothing he come on with these people and we don't want them there. so this is

getting ridiculous. what's, what's going on there. the people have an approval rate of the government of maybe 10 percent. i would say not more because we have more than half of the population in germany. it does not find any party, the value, both of them what they would elect and the rest we the government, not of the the, the re, uh government is now getting may be at best close to 30 percent, which is in total then not even 50 percent in total, so the approval rate of the lease of this government has never been worse than it is. and it's quite scary that such a government were such a low approval rate or high rate of disapproval. either depot can, can rule in a democracy and this is what more and more people are getting. now they are doing

not good. the government is not acting in their behalf as they say. um, so this is why this is um, this is getting worse and worse. but these protests against is, um, is, may be managed by the government. and another thing is very important. we have still these protests from the commerce, the huge brokers everywhere. now, 100 thousands of farmers on the street now for, for weeks already. and the media managed with this help of this propaganda, who from the government to really silence these farmers because it was overlay by these protests organized and paid by the government on tx past the house. and this is really scary. what's going on here. now hold on to that thought we will absolutely address these farmers complaints as well. i mean, we'll discuss that in just a moment. but 1st i want to hit on the chancellor's recent remarks. chancellor,

all off schultz and foreign minister, angelina bare bach, other senior mainstream political figures have attended these protests. the chancellor in his weekly video broadcast, he said this quote, the nazi race ideology could never again have space in germany. that's alluding to a f, the being a 10 to the nazi party and have labeled, labeled them far right extremis. listen here, and i'd like to say clearly and bluntly, i stick with this, right? we extreme is our attacking our democracy to them. they want to destroy all cohesion by my go ahead and confirm that a secret conference. these extreme is discussed how they could expel millions of people from our country on a pipe. there you've told me before that ironically, a sd actually has more jews among their ranks than any other party. but the media

outlet that's called corrective published an investigative report cleaning that the party have discussed something like a mass deportation of what they called on assimilated citizens during this party meeting and potsdam. now after the report was published, some have compared that story to how nazis plodded in potsdam to deport european jews to mount a gas scar in 1942. so how do we make sense of the chancellor's rhetoric and all of this to the chancellor and his crew is more and more and more openly like they have no problem with like this so called meeting was mainly attended by a christian democratic politicians as more than half deep qualities. there was a ruler. righty. and it has never been talked about these different stations. so this is a full grown light. correct if it's a very doubtful organization in germany, it's a, it's an antique. um. they're like,

uh like a, like a little media terrace organization from the on the key fob paid by the german government parking too. because the bodies are now ministers from degrees in the bottom lines. and this has nothing to do with the neutral or with media. always journalist, this is, this is just a tool of the political welfare in germany. so correct. it is really doubtful and nobody can know and nobody can really rely on on data from them. and it shows that's what they said. and what they, what they pronounced was a full goal, like they, uh, tried to, um, to speak out very tacitly but it could be, it might be, it should be it whatever. but um, what they got out was the intention of put a somehow the blame of nurses through the f d. but there, when you dig into these programs, you don't really find anything office. you'll find the,

the old agend us from the christian democrats and from the socialist party, brought with when how which nick was still jobs lot which i know the agenda from the f d. so this is heidi. i can hardly find anything off of nurses in the of nazi provo sunday the, the office i the nazis was socialist. and what do we have now with the greens and with the se, and with a socialist party, they are socialized spot. they are not so much national law nationally or a date. is there more internationally or a date it's that's, it's a, it's a big difference between those. but what i have heard is from our government is more than embarrassing. concerning the comments on these, on these propaganda things, they just, what day is even even more scary is that they think that people are so dumb

and they don't get up to i doubt it because now we have many discussions in the free media that puts out the real data and what the co incidence, the you, german was the last on the light mex with those people in of the organize us with a lot solves and be on us in hamburg to discuss how to, how to really get to a sense of ship and job and the full blown even though it is not legal, even though these pre media doesn't not the legal, nothing wrong, nothing just to, to push their take use of their, their lives into the open media. and the g o b a, a minute at the douglas meeting that basis for nowadays, and her maid agenda for the next phase as his protests and how it was managed, shows us a little bit how they want to do it in the future. now. now, as you mentioned, there have been efforts underway to outright ban a f

d as a party in german politics. but this effort is, is really facing some legal hurdles. however, the party is being investigated, some se, surveilled by the shots government on suspicion of what they say is extremism. the critics of schultz and his traffic light coalition are comparing this to the stars the while even more are comparing this to how the us government are treating donald trump's magazine orders. how would you compare maga and a half deep and how each respective government is treating these political movements? well, i don't see a too close connection between those 2. but what can be set for sure is that our passive shots, as it is called, is acting nowadays more or less like the style, the before. because it's a political let's organization in the political war. and they are, and that's

a government entity, a secret service government entity is organized against a political opponent, is something we haven't seen for over 80 years in germany, which is super scary. and we know from east germany and from the russian from russia. so the, from the soviets whole district and, and um, we have proof that in the fall mondays. uh the um these, the secret service was the main um, the main like uh the, the majority of the functionaries, a party that has the forbidden years ago, which was a sofa, nationalist, nationalistic, nazi party. that has being run mainly by the government, by the secret service. and this was the problem why they couldn't pick this party

in the 1st place, because the court said, well, it's your secret sermons are sitting in the park in the majority of the bark, they can do whatever they like. they can, they can change the course. so what we have to face this and this party was made to put this narrative of germans on nazis out and to, to connect these. and with i see they have nothing because the i d is, is more on, on the, on the constitution. then all the other parties, the a, a, b, is for free speech. the other part is one sense to ship the f d. s. for sticking to the, to the, to the problem is what every, the administer, every player just has to do that. he's acting in favor of the john population. they want this the may, the, the governmental partners don't want this openly hardly opened. we don't want this

. so we have, it is for 499 percent. sure. that the, any court would deny any restrictions against the f d. so this is a, just a political fight. it is due to discredit them openly by discussing oh, how can we, how can we forbid them? they are, they are right. we and so on. but nothing is true whenever people were asked, please tell me a specific, what do you mean specifically? where are they right we? they cannot tell anything. all the answers are or nothing like they don't come up with anything. so this is just propaganda. what they, what they do, because they use control and this is the main topic where we are facing the politicians at the minute. they know that with the agenda that the leaders of the party have the have pushed through and what they want the parties to

do is not in favor of the german people or the european people. and the people of knowledge that already they know what they, they got after. and so they denied they, they refuse these politicians. they fear to lose control. and when they use control, they have to confess their bodies in the us or in those other forum entities. but they cannot keep village on, on the germans, that they cannot rule them anymore. so it is very probably that they use that job, that they are exchanged. and this is what these presentations don't want in a minute. they are really scary because so they probably have lost the majority of the people. and the main thing where really started was when people saw how easy those governmental entities abandoned all the cartridge,

to show rights for legitimate people by the so called corona, measurements they and took that people were put in at home jail at home. people were not allowed to go somewhere. people had no rights off of april of that person . that information they had to openly confess who they are. i say amex and ages and so on. and people don't forget that creek. i mean, people forget, yes, but not that quick and that people have seen that this is very, very a like the beginning of the song and revolution. where at the end of the day, the coming is still over 577000000 russians and business. the pathway, there is a very, very similar at the minutes and this is very scary and people have heard from the history and so far that they say this is what we don't want and put additions on

all scares that they cannot keep on with that jetta now, to indeed it does sound like the, the ruling parties have lost a lot of popularity across most of germany. all right, hold on 11 second. coming up next. germany's very own ursula of underlay in the face of the you will soon be out of a job her term as european commission president coming to an end soon. but the fates of many german farmers and workers may not be as good as bonder lands jobs prospects. we'll discuss it when we return with economist like a home or zip type demo. we'll be right back. the, the

the,

the russian states never is as tight as i'm assuming the most sense community invest. i'll send, send the same assistance to progress be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin machine, the state on the russians today, as with the r t supposed met, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube, the fitness center. for what question did you say stephen twist, which is the

welcome back to the m. o i manila chant, dr. hummer economist and publisher of workshop as well is back with us. thank you for sticking around. i got now let's talk a little bit about the german economy. i mean, your expertise is economics. tell us a bit more about the state of germany's economy. i mean, how this relates to the f, these popularity or, or perhaps their rise. and these new massive farmers protests that began just after the new year. how does all of this tie into one another, or is it related? is it related at all? well, what we can look, you can say by fewer as the most at different nurse regards to the politics from darling as a summer task politics, you will hear the c,

e o 's from international conglomerate, such as statements and so on. we'll do the opposite side because they are closer to the, to the government because of subsidies they get, then to do the economy and to the rest of the country. but the economy is made in germany by the millions of the per nurse and the like small businesses, small and medium sized businesses. and they have base a totally different story. they have the most regulated environments ever. so for example, to, to turn some greenland into some, some a, some industrial land takes um, in the case i know personally 20 years over 20 years to turn a green glass into an industrial and just to produce something that has not been built. yes. sort of the same time in china, they built for from us,

40000 inhabitants village one to a 40000000. what the city in the same time where it's in debt in germany because of the regulations. nothing has happened yet. and this is a, this is struggling, the people, this is struggling been to progress. they have no science but continue working because uh, what should they do? otherwise they have not to, they fall into nothing. it's not that they are covered in like a, like old, i guess the government advice. so these people um, recognize that the thinks i'm not, not doing that the government is not texting in the favor. and then this ridiculous um, so called energy turn to a. so called greet and a g is um, it turns out to be a hoax. turns out not to work like,

nothing works like these politicians do. i mean, what, what do you expect from people who are, who have no education, we have never worked in a re, a job. we have never who never had to, to work honestly to, to make their living. they were always living on tex, passed the house and, and they didn't even finish school sometimes south the politicians didn't even finish school or never had any education at university or as a, as an honest, um, crap man or whatever. so these people are, um, the, these people are so like, um, driven by the gee that they don't care whether the printers have to close down and we have never seen so many close dogs in the last 56 years then now and people are seeing that the energy costs have skyrocketed, they have international disadvantages that they can compete with most of the

competitors internationally because the government driven costs uh so high that they have no chance. and on top, now it is that the people don't get any any stock because the government pays people for not doing anything more than they can earn as a medium's medium pay jobs in germany. and this is, this is just a way that doesn't work out. and on top now we have, uh we have the farmers that, um, that are struggling to survive because they, they, uh they, or they charge them with an additional $11000000000.00 off of texas or above expenses, which is in total not much spot for the pharmacy it's, it's huge. and on the same time, they spent 10 times the amount for nonsense internationally for

a bicycle waste in somewhere in south america for jen the stuff somewhere in africa . nobody wants that for, for weapons to some war somewhere. so this is the people i really fed up with what they are doing in, in dublin and business. now the situation the economy is strongly and we are facing to a call ups of the economy. and that means that the tie, your project will fall apart because europe is nothing else, but they're sucking out the clock against germany. it's only to climb the jo, me, that's why that u. p. union was founded and that's as their main purpose, but germany won't give too much to plunder any more. the economy here struggling and more and more people are closing down and set up closing their businesses because they are, they have reached an age and bravo say we close down then get going through this

heavy stuff that the government are putting on us to dr. ica. hummer economist and publisher of workshop up to well, thank you so much for your time. i gotta leave it right there. make sure you check out his work at hammer brief dot d e. thank you very much. all right, that is going to do it for this episode of modus operandi the show, the dig deep into foreign policy and current affairs. i'm your host window a chance. thank you for tuning in. we'll see you again next time and figure out the m. o. a, [000:00:00;00]

the 1935 facets easily led by dictator benito mussolini decided to expand its colonial empire in africa and take over the d. o. b a. by that time l. p. a was the only fully independent states on the continent. back in 1896. its inhabitants were able to defeat via daily and talented and defend their independence. since then, rome craved for revenge for the humiliating defeat. in the morning of october 3, 1935. without any announcement, the faucet attacked ethiopia and bombarded it most severely. ethiopian armed forces bod, courageously. but the roots allergy of the italians knew no bounds. they use not only massive bombing attacks on civilians, but also chemical weapons. toxic gas is this james the course of the war.

as a result of the occupation of ethiopia, by the fastest 760000 people were killed. so the capture of the african state was committed with europe's tacit approval. britain and france recognize the annexation, giving the green light to a further fastest expansion in the world and baby and the way for the outbreak of world war to take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse really one say better wills, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented to this, but can you see through their illusions, going underground?

can oh, what i want sure. they just don't have to shape house and engagement because the trail when so many find themselves worlds of parts, we choose to look for common ground. the a good one. yeah. that you attempted to collect at different exit amount. apache sat there for the show event, it will here job to las negotiated. all of it is uh, excuse us for the defense of the supplement is setup button and

not to mention in person. once. did you lose your task like that? if i said the media love to focus on the 2 reasons, could you say with these, if you need to be so generally presented as for the money, i'm going to work it on stimulus the industry only is it or what's money. proof of concept really left. so should william farmer shots might give us who we have go, guy started or decisions in my lab. and what was that man was, what was that ridiculous on the what is the best of them one today and but you left off. i've also left for an additional to set. i'm showing total suspect pretty show can was i'm patient did it for she's getting those are the best do what i mean? there's a proper,

there's accomplish half the or the if it's ours, headline story sites africa's presidents, slums and the opposition party request for the us to versus the upcoming elections . calling into an attempt to post mortgage or demo it is the final count on here in russia citizens. you're off to a vote in the 1st presidential election since the i break pump. the ukraine conflict on the president of western pressure which followed. we'll have exclusive coverage of the build up on the world's most populous muslim country to boost ties with russia. we sit down with a prominent into dtn,
