Kal-El814 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Germany arrests 25 accused of plotting coup WWW.BBC.COM A far-right group is suspected of planning to storm parliament and install an aristocrat as leader. Quote The group of far-right and ex-military figures are said to have prepared for a "Day X" to storm the Reichstag parliament building and seize power. A minor aristocrat named as Prince Heinrich XIII, 71, is alleged to have been central to their plans. It's always a Heinrich. Quote The plotters are said to include members of the extremist Reichsbürger [Citizens of the Reich] movement, which has long been in the sights of German police over violent attacks and racist and antisemitic conspiracy theories. They also refuse to recognise the modern German state. Other suspects came from the QAnon movement who believe their country is in the hands of a mythical "deep state" involving secret powers pulling the political strings. Just fucking embarrassing.
