Germany bans major part of far-right movement seeking to undermine state

The German government has outlawed a major part of an extremist movement seeking to undermine the state, in a move the new administration said signalled tough action against a subversive far-right scene.

Hundreds of security forces across seven states staged early morning raids on Tuesday against the cult-like group calling itself “Kingdom of Germany” (KRD), a large group within the Reichsbürger (Citizens of the Reich) movement. Four suspects were arrested including alleged ringleader Peter Fitzek, the self-proclaimed Peter I.

“This is illegal and unlawful,” Fitzek told Spiegel TV as he was led away in handcuffs.

The interior minister, Alexander Dobrindt, said the KRD, which estimates it has 6,000 members, had created a “counter-state” in Germany and established “criminal economic structures” that challenged the rule of law and the justice system.

Wife swapping. Will we need Germany and the NATO coalition to destroy Natzeeee Amurkkka? And free unlawful imprisoned citizens? And have our Hitler and Goebels take out themselves and their family?
