Felt in the Ruhr area

You laugh at Bavaria when you talk about the political situation. It is known that important positions in authorities in Bavaria are only given to partisans. Occasionally, a head of the agency who disregards the rules of the game is removed. In this way, a consistent image is always conveyed. The press, politics and justice form an impenetrable barrier for newcomers.

But North Rhine and Westphalia have no reason to rise above Bavaria. The felt is almost proverbial here (Rhenish clique). A plant in this murky swamp is the Cologne Klabautermann, who messes around on television.

The fact that the CDU and SPD divide the influential positions among themselves is a peculiarity in the Ruhr area that the Bavarians do not need. So it happens that broadcasting councils who make sure that their party line is represented in the broadcasting houses have long terms in office if the other party is not attacked too harshly. There are plenty of positions on the supervisory board for well-deserved functionaries. Even the judiciary has been infiltrated, leading to concerted action against political opponents. The Corona crisis is an excellent example: A certain Prof. Rudolph, SPD local chairman, well networked in the regional fabric, eighteen years of broadcasting council at WDR, is able to kick off a political campaign in the state government, WAZ, WDR and justice strike at the same time. Whether it is defamation or rumors does not matter anymore, the rumor is first in the world.

But what are individual cases against the gigantic corona fraud? Of course, even smaller batches now feel encouraged to play their power if the government gets away with it and advances endowed professors, false doctorates and plagiarized books are a trademark. And the opinion-forming press like “Süddeutsche, FAZ and Spiegel” folds their hands and nods submissively.

The fact that the criminal justice system is now also involved in this collusion means a new quality. Are we still in 1933? Mask terror, compulsory vaccinations and lockdowns suggest that we are already further in the totalitarian development.

Sleaze in the Ruhr area

People laugh about Bavaria when they talk about its political conditions. People know that in Bavaria, important positions in public authorities are only given to party supporters. Occasionally, a head of authority is removed who disregards the rules of the game. In this way, a consistent image is always conveyed. The press, politics and the judiciary form an impenetrable barrier for newcomers.

North Rhine and Westphalia, however, have no reason to rise above the Bavarians. The sleaze here is almost proverbial (Rhenish Faction). One growth in this murky swamp is the Cologne Klabautermann, who clowns around on TV.

That the CDU and SPD divide the influential positions among themselves is a peculiarity in the Ruhr region, which the Bavarians do not need. So it happens that broadcasting councillors, who make sure that their party line is represented in the broadcasting houses, have long terms of office, if the respective other party is not attacked too sharply. Supervisory board positions for deserving functionaries abound. Even the judiciary is infiltrated, resulting in concerted actions against political opponents. The Corona crisis is an excellent example: a certain Prof. Rudolph, local SPD chairman, very well networked in the regional fabric, eighteen years on the broadcasting board of the WDR, is in a position to launch a political campaign in which the state government , WAZ, WDR and the judiciary all strike out at the same time. Whether it is a matter of defamation or rumors, then no longer plays a role, the rumor is first in the world.

But what are individual cases against the gigantic Corona fraud? Of course, even smaller batches now feel animated to play out their power when the government gets away with it and pushes forward foundation professors, false doctors and book plagiarism are a trademark. And the opinion-forming press like “Süddeutsche, FAZ and Spiegel” fold their hands and nod submissively.

But the fact that the criminal justice system is now also involved in this collusion means a new quality. Are we still in 1933? Mask terror, compulsory vaccination and lockdowns indicate that we are already further along in totalitarian development.
