Europe is in for a rough ride, and Trump isn’t going to make things any easier. From Hans Vogel at unz.com:
So Alice Weidel was interviewed by Elon Musk on 9 January 2025. Actually, it was quite a disappointment in more ways than one. For one, it is strange that the leader of the AfD, Germany’s supposedly conservative party, should be a lesbian who is married to a woman from the island of Ceylon. Upon closer scrutiny the anomalies only seem to increase. Dr. Weidel stated that “Hitler was a Communist,” thus publicly distancing herself from that part of the political spectrum as well as from the very personification of evil in the modern world.
The fact that Dr. Weidel’s observation is nonsensical and historically false is only secondary under present-day circumstances. More important was the sign she gave off distancing herself from Hitler and anything he might have stood for.
The other surprising statement by Dr. Weidel was about Jews. She asserted her party constituted the best protection for Jews in Germany. Thus Dr. Weidel demonstrated to the public in Germany and abroad that she is fully qualified to take part in politics, since she meets the requirements for the triangulation that any postwar German politician must exhibit publicly:
- be anti-Hitler;
- be a “philosemite”;
- be unquestionably faithful to the US.
The last requirement of this triangulation was implicitly given by Dr. Weidel allowing herself to be interviewed by what seems to be Donald Trump’s right hand, against the explicit wishes and warnings by other parties’ politicians and the legacy media.
