Germans are dense. When it comes to criticism of their political class they are absolutely cowed. In the case of Stasi Merkel, who did unimaginable damage to Germany, there are still very few who dare to speak out publicly.
People in Germany really need to use 𝕏 to know what’s really happening.
The legacy media is pure propaganda.

The paper reported that speculation surrounding the move pointed to the relatively low ratings the book from the former German leader received on the website, with an average of 3.4 stars and a significant number of one star reviews.
A one star review cited by the paper stated: “’Freedom’ is ultimately a book for a small elite who want to feel confirmed in Merkel’s political decisions. For everyone who hoped for an honest assessment of the Merkel years, all that remains is disillusionment. This work is not a contribution to reconciliation or clarification, but an attempt to cement an all too one-sided legacy.”
However, a five-star review, which the paper claimed was the most frequently rated by other users stated: “I advise anyone who is interested in Angela Merkel as a person to read this book. Because even if we all think we know them, we don’t really and I think it’s definitely worth reading.”
While Merkel was one of the more popular political figures during her time in office, from 2005 to 2021, her legacy has come under increasing scrutiny following her departure from public life, particularly over her decision in 2015 to open the gates to mass migration from the Middle East and Africa sparking the European Migrant Crisis.
Despite even her leftist successor Olaf Scholz recently clamping down on migration amid rising public anger over the consequences of open borders, notably crime and terrorism, Merkel has refused to admit fault, and has continued to argue in favour of more mass migration into Germany, writing in her book that “a lack of manpower makes legal migration essential”.
Perhaps nearly as tarnishing for her legacy, however, was her approach towards Russia. Under Merkel, Germany increasingly relied on Moscow for its energy needs, in large part to make up for the inability of her green agenda to power the top European economy. This left Berlin particularly vulnerable following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, after which supplies of Russian energy were cut off in response to Western sanctions.
Stunningly, declassified documents released just months after the invasion showed that Merkel’s government believed in the lead up to the war that further increasing reliance on Russian natural gas would “not jeopardise” Germany’s long term energy security. This proved to be a massive miscalculation, with the Nord Stream pipelines being rendered useless after a suspected sabotage, an act which the German economy continues to suffer from.
Nevertheless, Merkel continues to defend her dealings with Moscow, claiming in her book that the natural gas deals she struck with Putin were necessary to maintaining peace between the West and Russia.
This year, former President Trump was proven right in his critiques of the globalist green agenda of the European Union and its reliance on Russian energy, which following the war in Ukraine have both been exposed as devastating failures of leadership. https://t.co/IF2i2mPPG5

This is why Amazon reviews for Merkel’s biofiction in Germany are blocked…
Gunter Walther, a former colleague of Comrade Angela Merkel at the Academy of Sciences in East Berlin, revealed that Merkel had been secretary for “Agitation and Propaganda” in the Freie Deutsche Jugend (Free German Youth; FDJ) organization at the institute, rising quickly within the organization, becoming Secretary of Political Education – the most important role in the organization. Merkel, a trained physicist, worked at the academy from 1978 until 1989. Merkel has long lied about her family’s Marxist past, saying that her FDJ role at the academy was more that of a cultural secretary and that her duties included buying theater tickets and organizing book readings.
Former German Transport Minister Günther Krause, an eastern German politician who worked with Merkel in the final months of the GDR, and as a fellow minister in the government of ex-chancellor Helmut Kohl in the early 1990s, also contradicts the lies divulging that Angela Merkel propagated Marxism-Leninism, “With Agitation and Propaganda you’re responsible for brainwashing in the sense of Marxism”, he said. “That was her task and that wasn’t cultural work. Agitation and Propaganda, that was the group that was meant to fill people’s brains with everything you were supposed to believe in the GDR, with all the ideological tricks. And what annoys me about this woman is simply the fact that she doesn’t admit to a closeness to the system in the GDR. From a scientific standpoint she wasn’t indispensable at the Academy of Sciences. But she was useful as a pastor’s daughter in terms of Marxism-Leninism. And she’s denying that. But it’s the truth.”
Today, Merkel insists that her job was menial, involving “organising theatre tickets and the like”. But this is simply untrue: she was an ambitious political activist. School-friends from her childhood town in Templin remember the German leader as a “Marxist loyal to the Party line”, in the furtherance of which she held a formal position within her class. A student who knows Merkel from the Karl Marx University in Leipzig, remembers a “convinced communist who brought her classmates into line”.
