Even the representatives of the Russian Federation, with whom "Henry XIII PR" is said to have contacted, must have been amazed at what the "Council" and future king had planned for Germany: a coup d'etat as written in books.

A new order was to be established in Germany, based on “homeland security associations”, on the military and a storming of the Bundestag, on murder and violence.

It is spooky and frightening how far these plans had progressed.

The German security authorities have struck a major blow against these adventurous plans.

The Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the Attorney General, the Federal Criminal Police Office and the police are to be congratulated for this success.

They had evidently been in the picture for a long time.

That's reassuring.

They didn't want and couldn't afford another defeat like the one against the right-wing extremist NSU.

The scene from which the plans for the coup emerged have long been known to the Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the police.

"Reich citizens", conspiracy theorists, "lateral thinkers" have so far probably been targeted as extremists by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

That a terrorist network would emerge from them was definitely in the air, in view of the willingness to use violence, which is particularly widespread among "Reich citizens".

That it would reach this extent, however, is a surprise that makes you shudder.

Like the farce of the American right-wing extremists

What drove these people to do this is a valid but ultimately idle question.

Their ideas are too cranky and conspiratorial for a rational explanation for the intentions and background of their “state philosophy” to be found.

The German scene looks like a farce by the American right-wing extremists, who apparently showed what is possible with their storming of the Capitol.

But it should be done "thoroughly" in Germany.

However, there are still questions that need to be answered.

What are the connections to the Bundeswehr and the police?

What are the connections to the AfD?

After all, it was one of Björn Höcke's fantasies of one day using force to put Germany back on the right path.

If the AfD cannot credibly assure that there are no connections between it and the sympathizers of the "Council", at least a comprehensive observation by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution is required.

Despite the monstrous intentions of the group around "Henry XIII PR" one should still leave the church in the village.

The conspirators had no basis for success.

There is no sympathy for this violent hatred of democracy, neither in the military nor in the police, nor in the population.

Motive and justification of their plans are pipe dreams, hanging in the air and are products of errant ideological attitudes.

Germany was not seriously on the verge of an overthrow.

Hatred of politicians, hate speech against the Bundestag, the government and the "system" will have to be seen in a different light from today.

It can be assumed: Anyone who talks like this, whether in the Bundestag, at the network regulars' table or on the street, means business.
