BERLIN. After the German Reich was defeated in World War Two in 1949, its borders were redrawn, some territories went to France and Poland, and Austria was completely separated.
The core German territory, however, was split into two halves.
The smaller half, located to the east and including the capital city, Berlin, became East Germany; and the Soviet Union installed a puppet regime, called the GRD.
The larger half was known as Trizone and split among the victorious Western powers, so it became West Germany. The British, the French and the Americans also installed a puppet regime, called the BRD.
In 1991, the Soviet Union dissolved and set East Germany free. The GRD lost its purpose, and the Germans sought unification.
However, America had no intention to set West Germany free. Washington emboldened the BRD regime to annex East Germany.
History is a great writer who avoids US Guantanamo Bay detention camps. So, the official story line was that of Wiedervereinigung – reunification. It was not a reunification though. It was a take-over.
The BRD is not Germany. The BRD is the post-war interim solution, not a country. It operates on all levels – economically, culturally, militarily – as Washington‘s state department in Europe.
BRD’s top cadres need America’s blessings. Angela Merkel for example was a former GDR cadre and CIA asset. She was selected as next German chancellor in 2005, after Gerhard Schröder refused to support America’s invasion of Iraq.
The propaganda about “democracy” is a charade. The BRD is a socialist regime. Germans cannot elect their leaders.
US president Barack Obama visited Berlin in 2013 and 2017 and simply announced Angela Merkel’s re-election. Her party got barely 12% of the votes, but of course she got the job.
Before Germany became a US colony, it had a share in the world economy of 12%. Today, it is 3.4%. For comparison, Apple, Amazon and Tesla, just 3 US technology companies, have a combined net-worth ($2.08 trillion + $1.5 trillion + $1.01 trillion) higher than the BRD’s entire GDP ($3.5 trillion).
Of the top German companies, 2/3 are at least 50% foreign owned. Traditional firms such as Siemens or Adidas or Deutsche Bank are 70% foreign owned.
The German Reich once was a knowledge powerhouse. The BRD’s best university now ranks just No 65 in the world – Munich in Bavaria, in the post-war US zone. Its scientists must speak American, because German science is dead.
Millions of Germans feel humiliated, but when they dare to suggest that the BRD, just like the GDR, really ought to be flushed down the toilet of bad ideas, they will be destroyed.
The entire BRD is a state security prison, with guards, sneaks and informants on every floor. Dissidents are immediately smeared as terrorists, communists, neonazis or antisemites.
After generations of brainwash, many Germans actually beg America not to withdraw its 36,000 soldiers and nuclear bombs and NSA spies. America is not so bad, they say. America cares for its slaves – it gave us Michael Jackson and McDonald’s, Microsoft computers and cheap deals on eBay. Besides, America protects us from evil Russia and China and Iran, all of whom are clearly sovereign, independent countries and therefore must be hell on earth.
Most Germans refuse to believe that they are colonial subjects, that America keeps German gold, that the BRD must buy American securities, must pay in dollars, that America runs the Internet, runs German foreign policy and dictates global media.
The lying press is complicit. It hails the BRD as an economic success model, because, until 2013, it was for some reason the world’s largest exporter of goods* [*services and rents and wealth creation not included]. The average Germans do not understand that this triumph of the will is actually akin to winning a gold medal in the Paralympics. Only China and India produced cheaper stuff in bulk.
Next is genocide. By 2015, the number of living Germans was the same as in 1936, about 60 million. So, for the last 79 years, the number of Germans was exactly maintained, brutally so, by over 30 million abortions, mass sterilizations and childlessness propaganda. Meanwhile, the world‘s population has quadrupled, from 2 billion to 8 billion.
But when you ask the average German, you will hear the most insane cultish babble, like that children are bad for the climate, or that the 20.5 million non-Germans in the BRD are cultural enrichment.
It is heart-breaking to see ethnic Germans called a “dog race” by a German High Court, and that “they need be exterminated” by a sitting parliamentarian, or that “they must be removed like an appendix” by the regime media. All children are indoctrinated with ‘Hitler shame’ and ‘Nazi guilt’ and must worship America as the liberator.
The BRD regime should have been dismantled alongside the GDR in 1991. Germany should have become its own independent nation. There can be no sovereign European Union with a US satellite in its midst. The BRD is not Germany.

The much bigger ‘rest of the world’ has not condemned Russia but understands how the conflict came about. They blame, like political scientist John Mearsheimer, the U.S. for causing the crisis. This includes, as far as I can tell, all of Africa (54 states), South America, Central America, the Middle East, and all of Asia ex Japan and Singapore.
This rest of the world that did not condemn Russia includes several notable U.S. allies and ‘partners’ like Turkey (Nato’s second biggest army!), India, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Israel.
You lifted that from MOA. If you are going to use someone else words at least have the decency to use quotation and a reference link
https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/03/disarming-ukraine-day-7.html#more
Yeah really. Well Said!
It doesn’t. matter where I got it from ,
Its matter that not every government is against
Russia.
Nice strawman you got going there. It was the lack of attribute and not the actual content that Just A Girl correctly pointed out.
Andrew
Copy and paste from other sites is fine. But you have to say where it is from. Otherwise, it is called plagiarism.
It is simple, most of us read MoA, so most of us can see if you plagiarise from there. And yes, it does matter.
Don’t waste any more time. This is the end of this conversation.

Ehh, Andrew, it is standard procedure to mention the originator from the text.
It is respect towards the originator.
That is all.
Well said! Thanks for the link; indepth article and all-round awesome site. Bookmarked. As a writer with ethics, I don’t understand it when writers don’t credit the hard work of others.
According to Wikipedia Merkel got 42% in 2013 and nearly 33% in 2017. Where does 12% come from?!?!?
I suppose he Is taking account of the % of germans that did not vote.
Simple because just 60% voted of total population, the biggest doesn’t vote, its not obligation to vote…so the most people do not vote because they think its a fraud, what it really is… a big scam
… lots of data seems to be “exaggerated” (without need, the dynamic is astonishing nevertheless).
abortions: roughly 120k p.a. in the last few years, so in order to get to 30mio in 30 years, you either have to include “compounding effects” or assume lots of “hidden” abortions.
foreigners: the official number of foreigners living in Germany is 12,5 mio (2020), naturalisations are running @ 110k p.a. (max 138k p.a.)….
@ Pattberg: in case I am wrong, I`d love to see your sources. My sources are are google/Statista/German government sites in that order.
Elections in Germany are no more legit than elections in the US or Haiti.
Elections are the sole domain of Capitalism’s Invisible Army.
I’m guessing, he meant as percentage of total voting citizenry.
I would suggest that using Wikipedia as a source is very, very dangerous
Germany is going back to their Nazi past
Most certainly not. Germany is going forward to its Nazi future. Scholz thinks that we are “on the right side of history” this time, pointing to our allies. Of course he does believe that: after all, no politician believes himself to be on the wrong side of history when he sets out on his path. Given Germany’s track record of being right, our allies should maybe consider switching sides.
I thought I knew all about Nazis. Foreign minister Annalena Baerbock is a kind of Nazi I had never encountered before, in history books or real life: the airhead Nazi. When she visited Poland, she told her hosts that her grandfather had stood during WW2 on that soil defending Poland, and Germany, against the Soviet invasion. Just as she intends to do now.
Germany: a country that cares so much about equal rights, that even mentally deficient people can attain highest office.
At least Annalena’s finally found people who can, and will, do her thinking for her. Jennifer Morgan of Greenpeace fame, is now Annalena’s Special Representative for Climate Change in Germany’s Foreign Office.
I agree with this assessmnet. The german ‘Greens’ are completely affiliated with US neocon neoliberalist collective ‘Borg’. They are so disconnected from any real eco policy that it is unreal. A real con job. Baerbock is as you say an interesting study in ‘new’ nazism and delusion too. She must be very proud, in less than six months she and her party have almost caused WWIII and they have now utterly destroyed 70 years of post war German industrial and economic structural growth. I bet the leaders of German industry despise her, but this is woke isnt it? No one dare speak out, even against the lie, you must say the right thing, never be off message or contra narrative, I see German industry for the cowards they are but, hell, they’ll figure a way to make hay even at the behest of war and isnt that exactly what happened in the run up to WWII with the Krupps, the IG Farbens et al … but of course in the delusional failing west, this time its all in the cause of ‘Freedom & DeMockracy’
Yes I’m in Germany. Its a freak show. You might like this. Tim Kemmner. He’s very funny. Even for a German 😂

So true. More and more Germans will wake to this reality overtime. Same for Japan and the whole EU.
Japan is mixed. I heard two days ago about Russian citizens in Japan facing cyber-harassment over Ukraine. The news is 90% favorable to the West, but there is a notable minority speaking up for Japan, and they are even being presented during prime time, which is truly unusual.
Many people here have noticed how clearly fake a lot of the news emanating from Ukraine is, and US pressure on the press and elected officials is well known to any of the citizenry who care about anything beyond their own personal sphere. Suppressing the Russophilic minority would not go over here very well, but I still would not be surprised to see it as the West gets more and more desperate.
I as an exil German can just 1000% agree with that sad truth!!!
I know a few germans who are leaving the country and they are not going to the so called West. They are going to Latín America, Asia AND África.
Where is Nachtigall?
I hope his cranky self is back in Russia!! Let him snipe at the Saker and all of us from there, as long as he’s safe and outta that self-creating cauldron called Europe. Russia is going to be a nice place to live in coming years.. btw, Nachtigall, how do you see most Germans around you? Plugged into the Meta or jaded and keeping their powder dry, like in late 1930s? It is unreal and recently unimaginable what is happening – the support of open Nazis in Ukraine
Like in Norway
Like Germany & Japan, the Financial Empire of Private Currencies ($, €, £, ¥)… is working to capture China too. Just look at the Chinese companies (Lenovo, TikTok,…) that have suspended their operations in Russia. Isn’t more than 50+% of China’s international trade in Empire’s private currencies still?
Even after sanctions on China’s companies by the Empire they don’t take the threat seriously. Oops, as someone mentioned here they are looking the other way (please don’t miss the sarcasm).
Has China built a successful ecosystem around its operating system? They’re still using Android, Microsoft Windows,… Chinese replaced Huawei phones with Empire’s iPhones. How long will Chinese companies sell their products in Russia? Russians can’t use Google Pay and Apple Pay on Chinese phones? China’s banks won’t back Russian oil and gas purchases. So much for China’s sovereignty.
Russia and China would do better by completing going OPEN SOURCE in the IT arena. Both nations can pull many other nations like India, Iran, Israel,to develop an OPEN ecosystem of hardware and software blocks. This will end Empire’s hegemony in the IT space and end its growth opportunities. Most blocks already exist in the open source arena. Putin had bragged about Russian programmers at the 2009 WEF Davos forum. Russia hasn’t launched much in the last 13 years. Also, Russian hackers can bring a complete stop to all these services too. Interesting times…

Please provide the source / web link of your accusations regarding China’s banks and tech companies allegedly pulling out of Russia.
I read China economy news daily and have not heard of this.
Chris,
Please read and comprehend the comment clearly. Don’t misconstrue and misrepresent.
I stated, “China’s banks won’t back Russian oil and gas purchases. ” I didn’t state, “China’s banks… allegedly pulling out of Russia.” There is a big difference.
FYI, the info came from my Russian contacts. I do have Russian friends.
Interesting list. I drive a 17 year old as new A Klasse Benz minivan. Just this afternoon I ordered every water hose on the little beast. It has only 130,000 klicks but 17 years is 17 years so time for new ones. Local Sevastopol dealer, whom we’ve known for years, said no problem, week or ten days and they’ll have all. Not a word about any parts supply problem and trust me, nothing goes on that little beast that doesn’t have that three pointed star on it.
Auslander,
There is a big difference in buying a part and conducting a transaction of millions. A huge black market opportunity has opened up in Russia. Every crisis is a challenge for imagination. The only question is at what price & quantity?
Many Russians will travel to China, Turkey, …. to buy their stuff or get their parts. Also, many Chinese manufacturers will sell knockoff products.
There were sanctions on a nation but they were still able to get sensitive technologies from Israel. What PRICE?
Yeah I’ve always thought of the effect of sanctions blocking adobes creative cloud.
Hope the Russian creatives have set up alternate work flows using other software.
This is actually a great opportunity for some local developers to capture the market if they move fast or have something already.
The government could help by focussing some resources on developing some of the open source software for industry.
Gimp (has been advancing of late even with limited resources), Inkscape and blender are examples
Plus there are plenty of apps as well.
the government could say “ there is a vacuum , entrepreneurs please fill it”
Russia is actually doing what people have dreamed about, breaking free.
The Russian ship is sailing leaving Atlantis to its fate
Amen to the open source advice! It is a wealth of knowledge and application. I would love to see it further ennriched through Russian adoption.
There are open source version of most software applications, including pdf, word, presentation, multimedia editing tools (Adobe tools) … The Russian government can help its people & world by creating a website and providing all these tools for free to the world. Let Russian entrepreneurs grab this opportunity to provide support and build businesses on these tools. This will be a game changer in our world!
China is investing $500+ billion in the semiconductor arena. Russia can make investment in some of these Chinese companies and create Russian companies too and encourage investments from various nations in those companies. Many nations will grab this opportunity to end hegemony and dependency in the semiconductor sphere.
There is a great opportunity for Russia to end the creation of money as debt and REVOLUTIONIZE by creating money as an asset to the people. This will collapse the Empire’s debt based monetary system without firing a single shot. Let’s see which nation will end the enslavement of the world. As a result, Russia can create investment credit at no interest and give to its entrepreneurs for productive endeavors. It can limit the consumption and speculation credit.
Will Russia make the best of available opportunities?
I hope no one is leveraging those trades, that could be quite troubling for the U.S. economy in addition to all the financial derivative losses invested in the Ukraine.
Well, shite. I never expected Nintendo of all companies to cave in like that. Until now I used to think they’d keep a low profile, what with PC games being relatively more popular in Russia, but now… damn…
(Any info on Valve/Steam?)
Lenovo’s owners belong to the fifth column in China. People who support the CPC are fervently against them.
Ce texte est très étrange et comporte des affirmations fantaisistes, me semble-t-il.
—————
This text is very strange and has whimsical affirmations, it seems to me.
The reason why Germany is unable to become independent again is due to Anglo-Saxon symbolic dominance.
What should Germans do? They should stop considering the Anglo-Saxons “Germanic”. Otherwise it’s impossible to detach from the US and the UK.
What’s that nonsense about Austria been separated?
Austria never was a part of Germany since the constitution of the German Empire in 1871.
And what about that bs of a socialist regime, it can’t be further away from that.
What is the main description of fascism? The collaboration of state,military and capitalism!
Now look at Germany it fills all criteria of a fascist country and is as left, as that alledged leftist, socialist Democratic Party.
You really think, true lefties would support Banderastan?
Do remember that Austria was “angeschlossen” to the Reich in 1938. While the West never recognized the annexation, from March 1938 to May 1945 you certainly couldn’t say within the Reich that there was an independent Austria.
As far as Austria and socialism are concerned, no, Austria isn’t a socialist country, although thanks to the (now vanished) strength of its Social Democratic Party, it did have more elements of socialism (which I hereby define as state ownership of major industries) than Germany ever did. Consider the huge housing projects in Vienna, for instance, or the fact that some major industries — like the country’s major steel factory — went from state enterprise under the Nazis (the Hermann Göring-Werke) to state enterprise under the postwar government (VÖEST , the Vereinigte Österreichische Eisen und Stahlwerke). Which, wouldn’t you know, was privatized in 1990 as Austria’s Social Democratic Party, like other such parties in Europe, shed most of its socialist vestiges.
But there are still traces of that socialism: the national eagle holds a hammer in one claw and a sickle in the other. :-)
All true. I’m an American, but I lived in Germany for nearly 15 years, and this is exactly what it was like. I felt so sorry for the Germans. The only thing I would add is that the US itself is also now just a puppet-state in ‘its’ own empire, as the American people have absolutely no sovereignty or control over the government. I don’t care what you think about Trump as a person, that last presidential election was a complete and total sham — the fakest election I’ve witnessed since Mexico ’88.
The fact that America’s colonies in Europe and Asia never rebel and instead support America in everything is testament to the excellent conditioning and grooming America exerts on its colonies, all of which are occupied by American forces, over many generations.
Russia should learn from this and thus keep its troops in Ukraine permanently so ensuring minimal disruption or risk of foreign meddling in that region. The ideal of course is to get the colony to police, care for and maintain itself while being fully subservient to the demands of the hegemon. If Russia doesn’t do this someone else will. If a proud, independent and capable people like the Germans are so easy to “herd” imagine how easy it is with the Ukrainians.
The US has been pursuing aggressive military policy against Russia (and formerly the USSR) since before WWII. Germany under Hitler was supported by UK/US as a tool aimed at the Soviet Union. WWII and the destruction of Europe was the blowback.
“The Stalin Note, also known as the March Note, was a document delivered to the representatives of the Western Allies (the United Kingdom, France, and the United States) from the Soviet Union in Germany on 10 March 1952. Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin put forth a proposal for a German reunification and neutralisation with no conditions on economic policies and with guarantees for “the rights of man and basic freedoms, including freedom of speech, press, religious persuasion, political conviction, and assembly” and free activity of democratic parties and organizations.
James Warburg, a member of the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, testified before the committee on 28 March 1952 and observed that the Soviet proposal might be a bluff, but he thought that it seemed “that our government is afraid to call the bluff for the fear that it may not be a bluff at all” and might lead to “a free, neutral, and demilitarised Germany”, which might be “subverted into Soviet orbit”.[2] That led to an exchange of notes between the West and the Soviet Union, which eventually ended after the West had insistence for a unified Germany to be free to join the European Defence Community and to be rearmed, demands that Stalin rejected.”
Wikipedia
I am surprised that the Empire of Lies has not deleted that page yet.
Well, there is a growing number of us Germans who desperately hope to be liberated by Putin marching on westward … probably not too realistic, but worth mentioning nevertheless. Thanks for posting this, sums things up pretty nicely.
Good article indeed..it is very regrettable what the Germany is going through, I don’t know they can liberate their nation from US colony.. I hope at the end Russian will come to their rescue
Sorry, Thorsten, your opinion about Germany is a very polemic view of the situation. Many points from your statement dilute the essence. You can’t prove, that Merkel is a CIA asset or that is a genocide of the German population. Some other arguments are also problematic.
What we have is a brainwashed society, in many terms a GDR 2.0 with “checks and balances” by msm. When you address german elections, you must consider Germans are fat and lazy. The population saw no need for a change in former times. Now, the times are changing and we will see.
This article may be exaggerating a bit in that nominally while there is some US control over Germany and high foreign ownership, if you look closely and dig deep you will find that the puppetmasters and ultimate owners of all this are in Germany or related areas. The EU elites I keep talking about.
The population figures are interesting.
The UK had 60 million people in 1960 and still has about the same.
Wikipedia:
Population: 83,222,442 (30 September 2021).
There is a lot of exaggeration up and down to make convincing points. It lost the credibility. All of europe is a colony of the USA.
“Its scientists must speak American, because German science is dead.”
English is still the No. 1 language, taught almost worldwide from elementary school on. Scientific publications are published almost exclusively in English, and this is also true for Chinese and Russian scientists, and this is true for all doctoral theses. I don’t see a problem here. When and if Chinese or Russian will be the dominant (world) language in the future (in Zone B, rather conceivable) is uncertain.
There are very good German scientists, so I have to disagree with the author. However, how Industry 4.0 can be managed with energy and resource scarcity is uncertain.
Among fellow scientists, the U.S. is still the preferred country for Chinese and Russian scientists. In China, for example, the recruitment of scientists from abroad is not going as well as desired, but I think the situation will soon change to the advantage of China and Russia.
Weder wurde die DDR “befreit”, wir waren nicht gefangen, noch ist die BRD sozialistisch, was für ein Bullshit.
Es war auch kein Beitritt, sondern eine Annexion, seither ist die ehemalige DDR eine Kolonie der BRD, die Menschen wurden nie gefragt, unsere Verfassung schlicht außer Kraft gesetzt, das wäre nur durch einen Volksentscheid möglich gewesen, den hat man uns bis heute vorenthalten; die selbsternannten Herren waren dazu nicht legitimiert;
hier mal ein Auszug, wie sich alles zugetragen hat, das kommt der Wahrheit näher:
Beschleunigung der Konterrevolution in der DDR
Es ist schon ein Lehrstück der Konterrevolution, was sich da 1990 in der DDR abspielte: Ehemalige SED-Mitglieder, und zwar solche, die sich in den besten Zeiten unseres sozialistischen Aufbaus selbst gern als „Berufsrevolutionäre“ titulierten, wurden plötzlich zu Feinden ihrer eigenen Partei und zu Feinden der Arbeiterklasse.
Vaterlandsverräter
Modrow kehrte mit der konterrevolutionären Losung auf den Lippen „Deutschland einig Vaterland“ von Gorbatschow zurück und desorientierte nicht nur seine Genossen, sondern auch alle DDR-Bürger. Die Westmächte drängten auf die Beschleunigung des Einigungsprozesses. Sie merkten, daß die Ära Gorbatschows zu Ende geht, keiner konnte wissen was nach ihm kommt. Modrow schaffte freie Bahn für die Vorverlegung der Neuwahl der Volkskammer. Im Gegensatz zur SED/PDS, formierte sich an verschiedenen Orten der Widerstand gegen die Auflösung der DDR unter der Losung: „Kein Anschluß unter dieser Nummer“. Im Zuge der konterrevolutionären Entwicklung wurde Krenz, als Staatsratsvorsitzender, gestürzt und als nicht mehr „brauchbar“ zur Seite geschoben. Durch die Nabelschau der PDS unter Gysi in Bezug auf „Stalinismus, Amtsmißbrauch und Korruption“ die Absage an den Marxismus-Leninismus, die Absage an ihre führende Rolle der Partei, sprengten sie die Nationale Front. Die CDU löste sich als erstes aus dem Block der antifaschistischen Parteien.
Die westlichen „Wahlhelfer“ des Herrn Modrow
Die Modrow-Regierung ließ etwas einmaliges in der Geschichte der Staaten zu. Sie gestattete es Tausenden von Bürgern eines nicht nur fremden, sondern auch DDR-feindlichen Staates, als „Wahlhelfer“, ausgestattet mit DM, Papier Vervielfältigungstechnik und Lautsprecherautos wie die Heuschrecken über die Bürger der DDR herzufallen. Sie durften „Ratschläge“ geben und sie geistig so manipulieren, daß sie sich in der Volkskammerwahl auf die DM, für das Wahlbündnis der „Allianz für Deutschland“ von (DU, DA und DSU, unter des Führung der preußisch traditionell gebundenen neuen Vorsitzenden der CDU, Rechtsanwalt Lothar de Maizière, gegen ihre Interessen einließen. Diese konservative „Allianz für Deutschland“ erhielt aufgrund der in PDS und SPD gespaltenen Arbeiterklasse 48 Prozent aller abgegebenen Wählerstimmen. Damit war die neue Volkskammer CDU dominiert, ihr Vorsitzender wurde Ministerpräsident und A. Merkel als Trittbrettfahrerin der Konterrevolution sein Pressesprecher.
Beschleunigung der Konterrevolution
Nach dieser Wahl verschwand der größte Teil der bürgerlichen Opposition fur eine bessere DDR, für einen „Sozialismus mit menschlichem Gesicht“ in der Versenkung. Es trat das ein, was in der Geschichte immer der Fall war, der Klassengegner schätzt den Verrat, aber nicht den Verräter. Manche wurden, da sie Gorbatschows Losung gefolgt waren, „Wer zu spät kommt den bestraft das Leben“, dadurch belohnt, daß sie später als Hinterbänkler im Bundestag Platz fanden, oder wie Modrow Europaparlamentsabgeordneter wurden. Die Konterrevolution von oben in der DDR wurde durch die Kräfte der äußeren Konterrevolution nicht nur aktiv unterstützt sondern insgesamt beschleunigt. Dafür gibt es zwei Gründe.
In der DDR begann sich Widerstand gegen die Vereinigung der beiden deutschen Staaten zu regen. Als Gorbatschow Modrow über sein „Abkommen“ mit Kohl über die „Wiedervereinigung“ informierte, schätzte dieser ein: „Die Stimmung in der DDR tendiere stark in Richtung Wiedervereinigung … Gleichzeitig wachse jedoch die Besorgnis der Werktätigen wegen der sozialen Auswirkungen der Vereinigung.“ Das war am 12. Februar 1990.
Der zweite Grund war, wie schon einmal erwähnt, daß Gorbatschow die Perestrojka und Glasnost abgewirtschaftet hatte und die Gefahr bestand daß er zu schnell von der Bildfläche verschwinden und eventuell Kräften weichen muß die eine andere Position zur deutschen Wiedervereinigung haben. Die außenpolitische Situation der DDR war durch ihre wachsende Isolierung gekennzeichnet. Bush und Gorbatschow hatten sich auf Malta grundsätzlich darauf geeinigt die DDR zu zerstören, d.h. von der Landkarte der Staaten der Welt zu streichen.
Ein übelstes diplomatisches Ränkespiel
Am 12. Februar 1990 trafen sich in Ottawa zum ersten und letzten Mal die 23 Außenminister der NATO und des Warschauer Paktes (Es muß heißen „des Warschauer Vertrages“! N.G.). Es sollte nach dem Vorschlag von Bush über die „Öffnung des Himmels“ beraten werden. Der tatsächliche Mittelpunkt war die „deutsche Frage“. Hinter dem Rücken des Außenministers der DDR vollzog sich ein diplomatisches Ränkespiel übelster Art und Weise. Der Drahtzieher war dabei der Außenminister der BRD, Genscher. lhm gelang es, sowohl den Außenminister der USA, als auch die Außenminister Englands und Frankreichs und schließlich auch den der UdSSR auf seinen diplomatischen Kurs der „Wiedervereinigung Deutschlands“ zu bringen und eine Allianz gegen die DDR zu bilden.
Genschers fauler Verwandlungstrick
Genscher gelang es die ursprünglich vorgesehene Konferenz vier zu zwei in eine Konferenz zwei zu vier umzugestalten. Oberflächlich betrachtet könnte man sagen vier zu zwei oder zwei zu vier ergibt doch beides sechs. Das entspricht nur der Oberfläche aber nicht dem Inhalt. Es ging darum, ob die Vereinigung der beiden deutschen Staaten deren „innenpolitische Angelegenheit“ sei, oder die ehemaligen Siegermachte Sich das Recht vorbehalten in den Einigungsprozeß einzugreifen und ihn zu gestalten. Die zwei zu vier Konferenz, wozu Gorbatschow seine Zustimmung gab, bedeutete die „Anerkennung“ des „Selbstbestimmungsrechts“ der Deutschen durch die Siegermächte.
Der offene Verrat Gorbatschows
Diese Art Gewährleistung des „Selbstbestimmungsrechts“ durch Gorbatschow war ganz offener Verrat an den Prinzipien des proletarischen Internationalismus. Das war Bestandteil der konterrevolutionären Politik von Gorbatschow zur Zerstörung der sozialistischen DDR. Die DDR wurde der BRD zum Fraß vorgeworfen. Gorbatschow manövrierte sich allerdings ins außenpolitische Abseits. Die UdSSR hatte sich völkerrechtlich festgelegt. Jetzt war es egal, ob Gorbatschow oder ein anderer an der „Macht“ war. Der Außenminister der UdSSR informierte den Außenminister der DDR von dem hinter seinem Rücken ausgehandelten Komplott gegen die DDR. Er zwang ihn diesem zuzustimmen. Damit war die DDR als souveräner Staat, als Völkerrechtsobjekt schon vor ihrer Zerstörung liquidiert.
Eine „Sternstunde“ der Verräter
In Ottawa wurde festgelegt, den Prozeß der „Wiedervereinigung“ zu beschleunigen. Zur Einflußnahme auf den Wahlverlauf am 18. März 1990 wurde festgelegt, noch vor der Volkskammerwahl eine Beratung der politischen Direktoren der Außenministerien der UdSSR, USA, Frankreich und Großbritannien durchzuführen, um die „Wiedervereinigung“ einzuleiten. Die Außenministerkonferenz wurde nach dem 18. März 1990 festgelegt, um den weiteren Prozeß mit der neuen Regierung der DDR abzuschließen. Die historische Kommission der PDS nennt die Zerstörung der sozialistischen DDR, die „demokratischen“ und „freien“ Wahlen, eine „friedliche Revolution“, eine „Sternstunde der Demokratie“.
Eine Lektion in Sachen Volksbetrug
Die aus den ersten „demokratischen“ und „freiheitlichen“ Wahlen, aufgrund einer arglistigen Täuschung, hervorgegangene Volkskammer der DDR war kein Vertreter einer neuen, einer zweiten sozialistischen DDR. Die Regierung der DDR, unter de Maiziere, war nichts anderes als ein Verwalter der Perestrojka-Konkursmasse der DDR. In den folgenden 199 Tagen, bis zur „Wiedervereinigung“, wurde die noch immer geltende Verfassung der DDR, durch die „neuen“, „freiheitlichen“ „Demokraten“ bewußt mißachtet und verletzt. Das wirft ein Schlaglicht darauf, wie verlogen die „neuen“, „freiheitlichen“ „Demokraten“ agierten. 199 Tage sind eine einzige Lektion über die Verlogenheit und Perversität bürgerlicher Demokratie und Freiheit.
Das Volk der DDR wurde nie gefragt…
Die von der „Allianz für Deutschland“ dominierte „Volkskammer“ verhinderte eine verfassungsmäßig festgelegte Volksbefragung darüber, ob die Bürger der DDR für oder gegen eine Vereinigung mit der BRD sind. Sie verhinderte den Volksentscheid darüber, ob die Bürger der DDR dafür oder dagegen sind, ihr Volkseigentum zu behalten oder ob dies wieder Eigentum der Kapitalisten werden solle. Es wurde nicht der geringste Versuch zugelassen, die Bürger der DDR darüber entscheiden zu lassen, ob sie für Sozialismus oder Kapitalismus sind. Das geschah alles im Namen der „neuen“, „freiheitlichen“ „Demokraten“ mit „menschlichem Gesicht“ zum „Schutze“ der DDR-Bürger vor einem weiteren „Unrechtsstaat“ der SED. Die „frei“ gewählte Volkskammer maßte sich das Recht an, ohne die Bevölkerung zu fragen, den Beitritt der DDR nach Artikel 23 des Grundgesetzes zum 3. Oktober 1990 zu beschließen.
Welche Folgen das für das Souverän „Volk der DDR“ hatte und heute noch hat, habe ich an zahlreichen, nicht widerlegbaren Fakten aufgezeigt. Ich mochte es nochmals verdeutlichen. Aus der BRD und DDR entstand, durch den „Beitritt“ der DDR, kein gemeinsamer deutscher Staat. Von der DDR wurde nichts übernommen. Der Beitritt in den Wirkungsbereich des Grundgesetzes der BRD bedeutete und bedeutet heute noch:
eine vollständige Übernahme aller der dort geltenden Gesetze,
des dort geltenden Geldes,
der dort geltenden Gewohnheiten.

Yandex translation from mod:-
Neither was the GDR “liberated”, we were not imprisoned, nor is the FRG socialist, what a bullshit.
It was also not an accession, but an annexation, since then the former GDR has been a colony of the FRG, the people were never asked, our Constitution was simply overruled, that would have been possible only by a referendum, which has been withheld from us to this day; the self-proclaimed lords were not legitimized for this;
here is an excerpt of how everything happened, that comes closer to the truth:
Acceleration of the counterrevolution in the GDR
It is already a lesson of the counterrevolution, what happened in the GDR in 1990: former SED members, namely those who in the best times of our socialist construction liked to call themselves “professional revolutionaries”, suddenly became enemies of their own party and enemies of the working class.
Fatherland traitors
Modrov returned with the counter-revolutionary slogan on the lips of Gorbachev “Germany united Fatherland”, disorienting not only his comrades, but also all GDR citizens. The Western powers urged the acceleration of the unification process. They realized that the era of Gorbachev was coming to an end, no one could know what was coming after him. Modrow created a free path for the postponement of the new election of the People’s Chamber. In contrast to the SED /PDS, resistance to the dissolution of the GDR was formed in various places under the slogan: “No Anschluss under this number”. In the course of the counter-revolutionary development, Krenz, as chairman of the State Council, was overthrown and pushed aside as no longer “usable”. By the navel-gazing of the PDS under Gysi with regard to “Stalinism, abuse of office and corruption”, the rejection of Marxism-Leninism, the rejection of their leading role of the party, they blew up the National Front. The CDU was the first to break away from the bloc of anti-fascist parties.
The Western “election helpers” of Mr. Modrow
The Modrow government allowed something unique in the history of the states. It allowed thousands of citizens of a state that was not only foreign, but also hostile to the GDR, to attack the citizens of the GDR as “election helpers”, equipped with DM, paper duplication technology and loudspeaker cars like locusts. They were allowed to give “advice” and mentally manipulate them in such a way that they sided with the DM in the Volkskammer election, for the electoral alliance of the “Alliance for Germany” of (DU, DA and DSU, under the leadership of the new chairman of the CDU, lawyer Lothar de Maizière, who is traditionally tied to Prussia, against their interests. This conservative “Alliance for Germany” received 48 percent of all votes cast due to the working class divided into the PDS and SPD. Thus, the new People’s Chamber CDU was dominated, its chairman became Prime Minister and A. Merkel, as the free rider of the counterrevolution, is his press secretary.
Acceleration of the counter-revolution
After this election, most of the bourgeois opposition for a better GDR, for a “socialism with a human face” disappeared into oblivion. What has always been the case in history has occurred, the class opponent appreciates the betrayal, but not the traitor. Some, having followed Gorbachev’s slogan, “Whoever comes too late punishes life,” were rewarded by later finding a place in the Bundestag as a backbencher, or becoming a member of the European Parliament like Modrov. The counterrevolution from above in the GDR was not only actively supported by the forces of the external counterrevolution, but was accelerated altogether. There are two reasons for this.
In the GDR, resistance to the unification of the two German states began to stir. When Gorbachev informed Modrov about his “agreement” with Kohl about the “reunification”, he estimated: “The mood in the GDR was strongly in the direction of reunification … At the same time, however, the concern of the working people about the social effects of the unification was growing.” That was on February 12, 1990.
The second reason, as already mentioned, was that Gorbachev had run out of perestroika and glasnost and there was a danger that he would disappear too quickly from the scene and possibly give way to forces that must have a different position on German reunification. The foreign policy situation of the GDR was characterized by its growing isolation. Bush and Gorbachev had basically agreed on Malta to destroy the GDR, i.e. to remove it from the map of the states of the world.
A very bad diplomatic game
On February 12, 1990, the 23 foreign ministers of NATO and the Warsaw Pact (it must be called “the Warsaw Pact”) met in Ottawa for the first and last time! N.G.). According to Bush’s proposal, the “opening of heaven” should be discussed. The real focus was the “German question”. Behind the back of the Foreign Minister of the GDR, a diplomatic intrigue of the most evil kind took place. The mastermind was the Foreign Minister of the FRG, Genscher. lhm succeeded in bringing both the Foreign Minister of the USA, the Foreign Ministers of England and France and finally also the USSR on his diplomatic course of the “reunification of Germany” and to form an alliance against the GDR.
Genscher’s lazy transformation trick
Genscher succeeded in transforming the originally planned four-to-two conference into a two-to-four conference. On the surface, you could say four to two or two to four, but both add up to six. This corresponds only to the surface but not to the content. It was a question of whether the unification of the two German states was their “internal political matter”, or the former winners reserved the right to intervene in the unification process and shape it. The two to four conference, to which Gorbachev gave his approval, meant the “recognition” of the “right of self-determination” of the Germans by the victorious powers.
The open betrayal of Gorbachev
This kind of guarantee of Gorbachev’s “right to self-determination” was a completely open betrayal of the principles of proletarian internationalism. This was part of Gorbachev’s counter-revolutionary policy of destroying the socialist GDR. The GDR was accused of eating the FRG. Gorbachev, however, maneuvered himself into the foreign policy sidelines. The USSR had established itself by international law. Now it didn’t matter whether Gorbachev or someone else was in “power”. The Foreign Minister of the USSR informed the Foreign Minister of the GDR about the plot against the GDR, which was being negotiated behind his back. He forced him to agree to this. Thus, the GDR, as a sovereign state, as an object of international law, was liquidated even before its destruction.
A “golden hour” of traitors
In Ottawa, it was decided to speed up the process of “reunification”. In order to influence the course of the elections on March 18, 1990, it was decided to hold a consultation of the political directors of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the USSR, USA, France and Great Britain before the People’s Chamber elections in order to initiate the “reunification”. The Foreign Ministers’ Conference was established after 18 March 1990 to conclude the further process with the new government of the GDR. The historical commission of the PDS calls the destruction of the socialist GDR, the “democratic” and “free” elections, a “peaceful revolution”, a “golden hour of democracy”.
A lesson in people’s fraud
The People’s Chamber of the GDR, which emerged from the first “democratic” and “liberal” elections due to a fraudulent deception, was not a representative of a new, a second socialist GDR. The government of the GDR, under de Maiziere, was nothing more than an administrator of the perestroika bankruptcy estate of the GDR. In the following 199 days, until the “reunification”, the still valid Constitution of the GDR was deliberately disregarded and violated by the “new”, “liberal” “Democrats”. This sheds light on how deceitfully the “new”, “liberal” “Democrats” acted. 199 Days is a single lesson about the mendacity and perversity of bourgeois democracy and freedom.
The people of the GDR were never asked…
The “Volkskammer”, dominated by the “Alliance for Germany”, prevented a constitutionally determined referendum on whether the citizens of the GDR are for or against unification with the FRG. It prevented the referendum on whether the citizens of the GDR are for or against retaining their national property or whether this should again become the property of the capitalists. Not the slightest attempt was made to let the citizens of the GDR decide whether they are for socialism or capitalism. All this was done in the name of the “new”, “liberal” “Democrats” with a “human face” to “protect” the GDR citizens from another “illegitimate state” of the SED. The “freely” elected Volkskammer assumed the right, without asking the population, to decide on the accession of the GDR in accordance with Article 23 of the Basic Law on October 3, 1990.
What consequences this had for the sovereign “people of the GDR” and still has today, I have shown by numerous, irrefutable facts. I would like to clarify it again. Due to the “accession” of the GDR, no common German state emerged from the FRG and the GDR. Nothing was taken over from the GDR. The accession to the scope of the Basic Law of the FRG meant and still means today:
a complete adoption of all the laws in force there,
of the money in force there,
the customs that apply there.
Danke / Thank you.

Germany has been seen as a threat to the Anglo American empire, controlled by the international bankers, for a very long time. Reading the book the Hidden History: The Secret Origins of the First World by Gerry Docherty & Jim Macgregor, you can see that ever since the unification of Germany under Bismarck and using the Zollverein to become an industrial power house it became a rival to the British Empire and the fledgling US empire.
Just as in Roman times, the mantra Carthage must be destroyed, it was easily exchanged to Germany must be destroyed. The strategy after WW1 was continued by means of the Versailles treaty and the International bankers financing, building the industrial infrastructure, technology transfer and supply of oil ensured this as described by Professor Antony C Sutton’s book Wall Street and the Rise of Nazism and Professor Guido’s book Conjuring Hitler.
The post war strategy for a decapitated Germany had been laid out by the international bankers think tanks in the US. Germany was to become another vassal state of the Anglo American empire as described Professor Carol Quigley in his book The Anglo American Establishment !
Wow, this is an interesting, convincing take, and I’m an ethnic German whose ancestral families emigrated to North America in the mid 19th century. Now the country acts as a lackey for yankee interests in Europe, and is committing seppuku by blocking Russian gas, oh, and the yankee regime used its pet Nazis, the Azov militia and other elements to successfully foment its war with Russia.
Isn’t it incredible! Germany has now decided to ‘re-arm’ itself to the tune of $100 billion per year, all in the defense of Nazis. The irony is so thick I need a fork (and perhaps a Panzer Tank) to cut through it all. The anti Putinistas who have been so humiliated by his constant ability to outmaneuver them have finally snapped! NATO embarrassed, the US with its multi trillion dollar paper tiger military shown up for the 20th Century throw backs they are. Ah! we live in dangerous but interesting times, the west prepared to destroy itself as a viable entity on some Russophobic crusade into irrelevance.
GDR ??
German Democratic Republic (in English)
If BRD stands for Bundesrepublik Deutschland, the old West Germany, then the old East Germany should be DDR (Deutsche Demokratische Republik).
This Pattberg is delusional. Most of what he said is complete lunacy. He has no clue where he got all the data to support this mess Because it doesn’t exist!!
This should not have seen the light of day. But, it happens – we are busy.
marty, you cannot even support your own delusions factually, so, you just insult others.
Thank you for this information. I could not figure out why Germany did not just say in relation to NS2 – “sanctions be da_____, at least we’ll be warm”.
I wonder if this situation will change now.
Sadly he is right. On an emotional level Germany is following the US because under the Orwellian propaganda, the US is a Fascist regime. They are committing suicide by cutting off Russian gas to aid Death worshiping Nazis in the Ukraine. Watch the movie Downfall and you will grasp some idea of what the Germans are feeling as the Ukro Nazis put up a suicidal fight against the Russians.
The German scientific tradition was broken because US, UK, and Russia captured the scientists and brought them to their countries. No elite professors to educate the next generation. I met Kraft Erricke when I was young and it was inspirational, but I live in the US.
Interesting.
I once heard a group of partying German campers in Australia’s outback singing and drinking for most of the night. Was I irritated. Then I learned a lesson I never forgot. About midnight or later suddenly the booze kicked in and it happened – the Germans began to SING. I was truly terrified but somehow not so terrified. I began to see something of a race that I barely knew anything about and out of this came RESPECT.
My heart bleeds for Germany to once again SING.
The past is the past – forget it.
German babies where are you? Get at it you idiots (I speak friendly) and lets hear Germany SING once more.
Thanks for sharing this, brings tears to my eyes. You have no idea how much my own heart bleeds for this country to sing again. But I’m afraid there’s some cleaning up to do regarding the past – it’s hard to sing when you’re made the scapegoat for everything bad that happened during the last century. Quite a weight. And bullshit.
It’s no coincidence that the two most inhibited nations on earth, some might say reserved, but no, inhibited is the correct adjective, are the Germans & Japanese. The men from uncle have reached in and ripped out their souls.
Like most other vassals a good moan is the most dissent you’ll get from them on the Zio-US castration.
I got my Son out of Germany two weeks ago. He lives now in Namibia. Best move I ever made.
Very interesting. What’s it like there for white people?
Same for another militarized US colony, Japan, but 5 times worse.. submissive brainwashed Japanese hardly have sex and produce children anymore. ‘Karooshii’ work yourself to death..
Lived, loved, worked both Japan & Germany. ex Japan PM Abe’s grand uncle ran brutal Biolab camp in occupied Manchuria 1938-1945. Never prosecuted – on contrary lauded as other sadist ‘doctors & elites’, results used directly, largely ineffective, in Northern Korea region1950-53.
Also Hamlet’s rotten Denmark with massive US nuke base, Thule, in colony of Greenland since 1950 is 200% US/City London pooping poodle. Ex NATO yapper Fogh Rasmussen, ‘Foggy-RatsArse, ex Danish PM, still yaps on TV Danish.
At least a few million ‘Ossies’, ex-East Germans see thru the ‘Amis’ bullshit & some even nostalgic for certain aspects of DDR.. 1946 Nuremberg ‘show’ trials – 3rd rate theater, not even Benny Hill standard!!
I believe that the ur-tragedy for the Germans was the failed revolution of 1848. In that moment of despair, the Germans turned away for ever from politics. Instead they embarked on an obsessive and destructive dream (nightmare?) pursuit of absolute cultural truth about themselves. Well, we know how that panned out.
The main point of this article is ok, but the arguments and numbers used to support it are just bad, and the explanation of the causes for low growth population rate is ludicrous.
In reality, Germany has been under the occupation of the US army since late 1945, having been occupied for a grand total of 77 years, Germany could apply to become the 51st US state. As Hawaii got full state status from annexation in just 61 years of occupation, Germany has more right to become a state than Hawaii. A good name for it in honor of the covid pandemic would be Germifornia. Chancellor Shultz would be against this however as he prefers the status of being the “leader” of a “world-leading nation” rather than the much less prestigious job of governor of the State of Germifornia, having been lowered to the same status as governor Loathsome of California. There is some hope however that this will all end soon. The US doesn’t look too healthy any more and has a good chance of falling apart in the next few years.
The propaganda about “democracy” is a charade. The BRD is a socialist regime. Germans cannot elect their leaders.
Here some sage words from Dr. Cantelon 1973:
“I wonder i said too myself, how many Americans have studied the charter of the UN sufficiently to realize that it commits each member nation to a program of total socialism for itself and for all other nations. Alger Hiss was a major architect of the UN charter and served as the secretary general of the United Nations. Twenty – five years later, U Thant was quoted praising Lenin as a political leader whose ideals were reflected in the United Nations charter.” pgs 102 -103 date of publication 1973
Wow! And it gets worse:
“Why, I asked myself repeatedly, did so many American leaders, both in church and in the classroom of the college, speak strongly in favor of world socialism? E. Stanley Jones, in His Choice Before Us, declared:
God reached out and put his hand on Russian Communist. Communism is the only political position that really holds the Christian position.
In one sense, I found it very difficult to comprehend a man like E. Stanley Jones writing lines that seemed to endorse Communism.
On the other hand, I reminded myself of the years that he had spent in India. In 1953, speaking for many days on the club grounds of Lucknow, I saw the results of this man’s work in that city of north central India.
Undoubtedly Jones was moved by the scenes of squalor and poverty that plagued the masses of that great nation. He must have contrasted the poor and the hungry with the abnormal wealth of such men as the Nizam of Hyderabad, a descendant of the Mogul emperors, who ruled over 15 million poverty stricken subjects for decades.
Reputedly, he had more wealth than any other man in the world, with a net income of $ 15 million annually.
Much of his wealth came from the fabulous valley of Golconda, one of the world’s richest diamond mines.
The Nizam had 500 wives, and he gave his favorite one a gold Rolls Royce. He ate all of his meals off golden
plates, and boasted that the English displayed 24 golden plates in London, while he had golden place settings for 150 guests. One of his favorite diamonds was the l82 carat diamond that he used for a paperweight. He sat in chairs and relaxed on couches of solid gold, and had a carriage of gold built that was not usable because of its weight.
If Stanley Jones endorsed socialism, it was perhaps because he had stood among the beggars and hungry children in the shadow of the Taj Mahal. It was without doubt the most beautiful tomb in the world. It was built by the Indian ruler, Shah Jahan, as a memorial to his favorite wife, Muntaz-i-Mahal, which means “Bride of the Palace.” It took 20,000 workmen 21 years to erect the Taj, and when the workmen finished the delicate tasks of carving their rnarble and alabaster into 70-foot domes rising 150 feet high, they undoubtedly gazed at the slender minarets, supposedly built as towers for prayer, mirrored in the reflecting pools beside the tomb, and then turned to Shah Jahan for their reward. Did he give them a smile of appreciation or a hand of gratitude? No, the payment they received for theri creating one of the beauties of the world was the ugly point of the soldiers knife that pierced their eyes. shah Jahan wanted to make sure no other monarch would ever again have a Taj as beautiful as his.”
It never amazes how deep and wide the lies go {Charade indeed Dr. Pattberg} and the biggest lie or error is the one revolving around Ezekiel 38 and 39 about Germany being the nation of Gog that is supposed to be destroyed along with Magog {Russia} by God in the last great conflagration of the world empires against Israel?
They believe it… https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2009/08/gog-magog-and-george-bush/
Sorry, but this is too much historical rubbish. Some clarifications:
Germany capitulated in May 1945, and due to the Yalta agreements was split up into four zones (US, UK, FR, USSR). The US and UK zones were unified quickly (‘Bizone’), the FR zone was added a bit later, forming the Trizone. These three ex-zones started a constitutional process, leading do the (West-)German Basic Law being declared in May 49, commonly celebrated as the creation of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). This made Stalin’s proposal of a united, neutral Germany impossible, so the USSR created a puppet state in October 49, the GDR (German Democratic Republic).
Fast-forwarding to the 80s, the nuclear disarmament talks between Gorbatchev and Reagen brought the German reunification back onto the political table. March 89, (socialist) Hungary removed the border fences to (capitalist) Austria, and when summer came and lots of East German tourists crossed the border, the GDR government collapsed under wide demonstrations (“We are the people”=”Wir sind das Volk”), people leaving the Country, and general economic decline and a disillusioned population. This started the GDR reform process, leading to free elections in March 90, with the victory of the East German Christian Democrat Union (plus supporting smaller parties). All the negotiations with the victory powers followed over summer (2-plus-4-talks), and reunion by 3 October 1990. It was indeed a take-over, the legal entity GDR ceased to exist, while the legal entity FRG continued to exist to today.
An important detail due to that is that the NATO statutes of the FRG from the 1950s remained in place, and were confirmed by the German parliament in 1994. Due to these statues, Germany indeed grants all foreign soldiers legal immunity, and NATO countries do not have to pay for maneuver damage, for instance. Also, German infrastructure can be used without any cost to NATO partners. In that sense, the FRG is indeed not a “member on equal terms” in NATO. Correctly, some 30+k of US soldiers remain stationed inside Germany, as well as some few thousand of UK soldiers. Germany has indeed no say in that, they can come and go as they want. The biggest US asset is the Ramstein air base, an IT and logistics hub for the US Army without e.g. the drone war in Afghanistan and Irak would have been impossible at the scale that it had.
Another important detail is that the German private media is largely a baby of the US-zone, then Bi- and later Trizone years directly after the war. The NS media was superficially denazified, and some guys called Axel Springer, Bertelsmann, Burda and some others got the first publication licenses. Consequently, as it was McCarthy time, they were “supervised” and aligned themselves with the transatlantic narrative, and remain so until today. That is the reason why so many editors-in-chiefs of German newspapers went through transatlantic career networks, without that background it is impossible to make career in German media. Ironically, that is what they used to blame East Germany for, that there was no independent media and every writer and editor had to be a party member.
So yes, Germany is formally independent. But yes, there are regulations and power structures in place (like in media), that arguably allow the conclusion that German politics is not independent.
