was struck during the referendum and 2 people were killed. but as you can see, it hasn't due to the people from taking part in the democratic process. so this year, as russians from very bus stuck to belgrade, head to the poles, they'll be joined by the people have done bus, eager to exercise their hard won democratic rights, and to find their own future as part of the wider russian family. and while ukraine may do all in its power to prevent it, this selection will go ahead on the free voices of don't boss will be heard to stay with archie international up next. on the modus operandi, the rise of the far right in germany by the hello and welcome defrost of full force. here we discuss the wheel in

the hello. i'm a new a chan. you are tuned into modus operandi. they are a threat to democracy. therefore, right terrorist event, we've heard those troops before here in the west regarding donald trump mega move met. but now that's being argued in germany, referring to the rising a f d party. and that's what we'll dig into today. just who is this new political party and what are they all about? all right, let's get into the m o the . it's no surprise that the election of donald trump in 2016 gave way to the rise of nationalism and populism here in the us and brought from the shadows

a similar sentiment that had long been brewing in europe as well, long before trump presidency, the breakfast and movement in the u. k was slapped with similar accusations of white nationalism around the same time over in germany. a country desperate to forget its historical sins and the rise of adolph hitler in the mid 20 tends. once fringy political group is now threatening to become the most popular party across the used most prosperous country, the 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 heels for 1st place across many more. now, joining us from germany to explain the political situation, there is doctor ica hummer. 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 palmer 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 sd 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 a, f d pro tests and who's behind them of what, what the 10 say. and what we have proved is that the 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 attendance do is they, on the saw with the signs 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 prop. i've done the things that we only know from east germany before 1989. and this is scary because it's a 1st time that we in the west seats and 70 years,

see that the government organize us um the smartest and even more or less force as far 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, the on default was complaining that um the people from the christian democratic party, which is the expanded the 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, a 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 these of this government has never be worse than it is. and it's quite scary that such a government, we're such a low approval rate or high rate of disapproval, either the boat 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, this is why this is the business getting worse and worse. but these protests against this is mandy managed by the government. and another thing is very important. we have still these protests from the commerce, the huge approaches everywhere. now,

100 thousands of farmers on the street now for, for weeks already. and the media managed with this help of this propaganda cool from the government to re 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 to 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 and to pipe their you've told me before that ironically a f. d actually has more jews among their ranks than any other party, but the media outlet that's called corrective published an investigative report, claiming 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 a half deep one edition, there was a ruler righty. and it has never been talked about these different stations. so this is a full grown life. correct? if there'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 bombings 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 what they said and what they, what they pronounced was a full goal, like they uh, tried to, um, to speak out very tacitly that it could be, it might be, it should be whatever. but um, what they got out was the intention of put a somehow the blame of nurses to 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 state party from where, when, how, which make or 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 like 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 of them or internationally or a date it's that's, it's a, it's a big difference between those spots. and 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 code co incidence, the u. 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 styles 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, for mondays with the, 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 the 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 car said, well it's your secret sermons are sitting in the park and the majority of the bark they can do whatever they like. they can. um they could 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 government, all parties don't want this openly arc. we only don't want this, so we have, it is for 499 percent. sure. that the any court would deny any restrictions against the sd. so this is a just a political fight. it is due to discredit them. open lead by discussing, oh, how can we, how can we forbid them? they are, they are right. we and so on. but nothing is to 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 lose control,

they have to confess their bodies in the us or in those other storm entities. but they cannot keep the lights 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 politicians don't want. and at the minute they are really scary because so they probably have lost the majority of the people. and the main thing where really started was so when people saw how easy those governmental entities, abandoned all the courts and to show rights for legitimate people by the so called corona measurements they and took the 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 informations. they had to openly

confess who they are. i say amex and ages and so on. and people don't forget that quick. 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 this is 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. 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 go home or sit tight . m o will be right back. the, on the after the nazis bower in italy, states foreign policy became extremely aggressive. benito mussolini needed glorious victories. he decided to achieve his ambitions in africa. despite the fact that formally libya had become an italian colony back in 1912. the vast territories of this country were not actually controlled by rome. the nazis decided to put an end

to this. but the soup, a religious order of this genocide stood in their way. the arabs did not want to submit the 4 in power and put up fierce resistance. dividers against colonialism were led by the seats of this m a side order. omar l move star was nicknamed the lion of the desert for his incredible courage. despite the violent, bombardments and boys in gas usage, mass deportations and the imprisonment of the local population in concentration camps, the invaders could not cope with the narrow patriots for a decade. in 1931, omar l move star was captured and sentenced to hanging at the trial. the hero of the libyan people behaved very bravely and rejected. pardon? pursuing a policy of genocide, italy was only able to temporarily suppress libya, 18th of the entire population, more than 100000 people fell victim to terror. however, just a few years later,

the entail you enroll, collapsed. in 1951, libya became one of the 1st countries in africa to gain independence the or the welcome back to the m. o i manila chant, doctor i go hummer economist and publisher of workshop as well is back with us. thank you for sticking around. ica 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 re, well, you can say by fewer as the most at different nurse regards to the politics from the n. s a summer task politics. you will hear the c, e o 's from international conglomerate, such as events 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 economy. economy is made in germany by the millions of the ends up for nurse and the, uh like small business, a small and medium sized businesses. and uh, they have base a totally different story. they have the most regulated environments ever. so for example, to, to turn some greenland into some, uh, some uh,

some industrial land takes um, in a case i know personally 20 years over 20 years to turn a green glass into an industrial and just to produce something. and that has nothing built. yes. so it is the same time in china. they built from us 40000 bit, the inhabitants village. one do have 40000000 in the city in the same time, whereas in depth in germany because of the regulations, nothing has happened yet. and this is a, this is struggling, the people, this is striving the into 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 all the guests, the government advice. so these people um, recognize that the thinks i'm not,

not doing that the government is not acting in the favor. and then this ridiculous um, so called energy turn to a. so called green energy is um, it turns out to be a hoax. turns out not to work like, nothing works like these politicians do. i mean, 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 uh, and they didn't even finish school sometimes south the politicians didn't even finish school or never had any uh, education at the 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 idea all

a g 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 into nationally because the government driven costs 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 $1000000000.00 uh, $1000000000.00 off of texas or above expenses, which is in total not much, but 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 1000 america for gen, 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 and in dublin and business. now, the situation, the economy is strongly and we're facing to a co op of the economy. and that means that the enter, your project will fall apart because europe is nothing else, but they're sucking out class against germany. it's only to plunder germany. that's

why the 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 they, 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 that 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. the

take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to vision with no real opinions. fixtures, design to simplify will confuse really once a better world, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented? it is, but can you see through their illusion going underground? can today's off the gaining independence and from the law firm of the ivory coast remained under the strong influence of his full metropolitan pro french president. felix, who said one year, ruled the country for 33 years,

ensuring the interest to from the dead. the government isn't in a new house, including new foster. larry goods was numbers, who saw him a lot more appropriate after the death of, of a one year, a new lead to bill. i'll go back. the ball came to power, said they've come rated double people curious to know if the problem or the was it isn't good enough for tiffany to one is the one, the bronze demetrius, the dean. good luck, boeing. enemy, a deep political crisis ensued. walk a, the country 2nd largest city, turned into a theatre of law almost from 130 to the other 2 for repeatability. so what this how did the dramatic events unfold and how is walk a recovering from he is

a bloody conflict. watch on. see the 4th it us made abrams tank falls to the russian army, while one of the mighty challenger tanks the u. k. as if the deep brain gets stuck in the mud during simple training exercises. and the whole fiasco is captured on camera by british media. and the tank is just sunk in, slit in and out there waiting for recovery that in the green lights, a lot of that give citizenship to non muslim for national. it's playing from the scanner stand, bangladesh and pakistan raising concerns among the muslim minorities and as the gods in health system has been devastated by the war r t, it's a special project. human shields documents the story.
