“Democracy” degenerates into crude mass stupefaction and people become completely disoriented. The goal of those in power is to sedate humanity through miserable education, the production of fear, the manufacture of ignorance, and deliberate confusion.
The country of emigration
The “free West” is in a state of tyranny — more and more people have had enough. Exclusive excerpt from “Germany — Emigrating from a sick country.”
Most people do not leave their homeland permanently. A desire to travel the world and seek adventure, study or work are usually reasons for a temporary stay abroad. However, the motives for turning one’s back on one’s own country permanently and emigrating are very complex. They range from economic, family, ideological, and religious reasons to social and political ones. The decision to leave one’s own country for good is usually based on a profound process of alienation and a comprehensive loss of trust in politics and society, coupled with massive disappointment and great dissatisfaction with the conditions in one’s home country. Exclusive excerpt from “Germany — Emigrating from a sick country: 18 paths to a new life.”
by Ullrich Mies
[This article posted on 10/11/2025 is translated from the German on the Internet, http://www.manova.news.]
The texts collected in this book come from people who have emigrated from Germany. They are “doers,” not people who are permanently chasing their dreams according to the motto: “I should emigrate, I would love to leave Germany, I’ve actually always wanted to leave” — and then, plagued by fears, uncertainties, and constraints, postpone the decision indefinitely or come to the conclusion that “it’s no better anywhere else.”
The fact is, however, that even within the undemocratic, dysfunctional EU, which is ruled by washed-up politicians, technocrats, lobbyists, and warmongering misguided individuals who do not want peace at all and are solely preoccupied with imposing their sick values on everyone, there are still major differences within Europe depending on the country and region. And ultimately, it depends on how people behave in their own environment, whether they are henchmen and subjects of messed-up regimes or autonomous free thinkers.
I have not included explicit political analyses in this volume, but only very personal, emotional accounts of the emigrants’ experiences, who of course also write about the political and social reasons for their decision to emigrate and about the state of decay in which they see Germany. All authors have one thing in common: they take a very critical view of developments in their own country and, since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989/90 and especially since the coronavirus crisis, no longer recognize Germany due to the regime’s terror measures, the prevailing injustice, social division, and parallel warmongering. Shocked and deeply disappointed by their own environment, their families, and above all the overwhelming majority, they have left the country and are unlikely to ever return—a huge loss for the country, for which political hooligans driven solely by greed for power, profit, and conquest. Anyone who does not submit to them becomes an enemy, true to the motto of political criminal George W. Bush: “Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.”
The emigrants mostly regard the majority as a “flock of sheep” that goes along with things again, obeys again, looks obediently “upwards,” takes orders, submits to so-called authorities, and allows itself to be led around the arena by the nose by its political “leadership.”
The emigrants are all disgusted by the thoroughly corrupt, incompetent, ignorant, ideologically fanatical, malicious political establishment, whose “deep state providence” of financial and military-industrial intelligence complexes wants to lead the world after the “Great Reset” into the Fourth Industrial Revolution and thus into a “New World Order” (New World Order) (1).
The big question for those who are fed up with the political personnel and the prevailing conditions and have decided to escape the sick state of affairs is and remains: Where to? Where is it more bearable? There is no general answer to this question, nor can there be. The general answer is: Those who want to escape the evils of the “Western value system” must seek their fortune in the big wide world — outside the NATO and EU states — whether they find it or not is an open question.
Why Western governments are regimes
For decades, Western governments have been telling people, with the help of their propaganda media, the STORY that they are “democratic.” . In fact, as part of the Corona operation, they have used totalitarian-fascist methods (2), including targeted fear campaigns against their own populations. Since Corona, the great danger to humanity has not come from viruses, but from a political-media plague that has contaminated all spheres of society. As expected, the ruling cliques refuse to come to terms with the Corona plot, which has caused endless human suffering and trillions in damage to this day. They will also do everything in their power to avoid coming to terms with the greatest crime against humanity in modern times and to cover up the chain of command, as those primarily responsible will not surrender themselves to the noose or lynch law of a population bent on revenge. Because they know one thing for sure: they are hated by millions, though the exact number is unknown.
The ruling cliques bombard the people with propaganda lies, concealing, twisting, and distorting the historical context. In general, propaganda has replaced media information and works on the basis of cognitive warfare against the people (3). After the Corona operation as a test run for totalitarian domestic policies, they want to wage the long-planned, all-out war against Russia and are pursuing a criminal policy of internal impoverishment, disenfranchisement, and the destruction of small and medium-sized businesses in favor of the financial, pharmaceutical, digital, and war industries at the expense of future generations, whom they willingly push into the fire of their criminal wars. They are grinding down culture, allowing infrastructure to rot, and expanding the judiciary into the fighting arm of their neo-fascist executives.
Peace activists are already being declared “terrorists” and may soon end up in the dungeons of the “new fascists who don’t want to be fascists” for “undermining military morale” — nothing can be ruled out anymore (4).
The unfree West is ruled by organized political crime perpetrated by neoconservative deep state actors (5) — that much we know for sure today. The legal auxiliary troops of the malicious political cliques have held or continue to hold numerous dissidents in political captivity for months and years without trial. This is nothing less than “white torture.” It is reminiscent of the Central and South American military dictatorships of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s.
The population is being reined in with the aim of narrowing their minds in the mental playpen of political correctness, genderism (6), woke bullshit, and the climate religion, which the state and semi-state belief sects control as self-appointed “guardians” of the people. In fact, it is about abandoning creeds; it is not just about disciplining those who work for the state or its ideological offshoots in parties, foundations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), trade unions, etc. The entire population is to be controlled — reprogrammed — and dumbed down so that it believes only “the one thing,” namely what the self-appointed “authorities” disseminate to the public as the universally valid truth via the strictly controlled regime media.
It’s like the Middle Ages, only slightly modified: in those days in Europe, anyone who did not kneel before Catholicism was denounced and quickly ended up at the stake as a heretic or witch. Today, the state-organized ideology cartel destroys your social and economic existence if you don’t toe the line. Criminal ZEROS and sycophantic opportunists deny young people a future in freedom. They deliberately allow education policy to rot, that is, to be minimized to the requirements of competitive and war capitalism (7). The deliberately dumbed-down generation must not be allowed to recognize what is being done to it, must not be allowed to comprehend that its future is being stolen and that it is being trained as an object of indoctrination to become cannon fodder for future wars of conquest. This, too, is a crime against humanity.
In addition, the ruling cartel, in combination with the military-fascist complex, is pushing ahead with total digital surveillance of people by all means and abusing artificial intelligence (AI) in conjunction with transhumanism as an instrument for “enhanced lethality” (8) (increased lethality of the military) and as a lever to secure Western power in the world.
The German political establishment and the EU “leadership” do not tolerate democratic debate in the process of transition to transhumanism and the transnational EU military dictatorship. They denounce people who express themselves freely and are expanding the censorship apparatus to secure their bastions of power. The regime’s calls for denunciation and the persecution of dissidents are taking on frightening forms and are part of a counterinsurgency strategy (9) aimed at creating an atmosphere of insecurity with the goal of exclusion and oppression.
The planned and uncontrolled migration is directed against the EU countries as a whole and stems from the script of the “strategy of tension”; it has, at best, only marginally to do with humanitarian aid.
Essentially, migration policy is directed against the native population and increasingly pits them against each other and against immigrants, especially those from Islamic countries. The refugee movements are largely the result of the highly criminal imperialist Western policy of disorder. The so-called knife-free zones and controls at the German borders are a gigantic charade through which the regime feigns competence, while continuing its old migration policy unabated — not least fueled by the EU — as before.
In Germany, the synchronized party oligarchies CDUCSUSPDFDPLINKEGRÜNE and their ideological apparatuses have hijacked the state, plundered the country, and taken the population hostage. The party cartel has staged its final coup in the form of the “abolition of the debt brake” in order to realize the transition to rearmament and a war economy with the help of its partners in the financial industry. The people are burdened with taxes and levies of all kinds at will, without receiving adequate state services in return. The “quid pro quo” is widespread hardship. Hardly anything works anymore: hospitals, medical care, general infrastructure, highways with hundreds of construction sites where no work is being done, a collapsing federal railway, etc., all products of a completely misguided privatization policy of the incompetent, corrupt, predatory, and warlike party cartel that wallows in the ideological “fight against the right” while pursuing authoritarian, fascist-like policies against the sovereign. As a result of widespread political tyranny, the AfD emerged in 2013 as a product of the crisis.
There are no coincidences, everything is planned
The Western/German political system is based on seven pillars:
“Uncompromising market radicalism” (= hypercapitalism) with maximum penetration internally, meaning that people must make themselves available to the new profit regimes, right down to their minds and bodies, as objects to be exploited by “market mechanisms.” Externally, peoples who insist on their national identity are broken up and destroyed by violent imperialist market-opening strategies, as has been tried and tested for centuries in the context of colonial land grabs. Capitalism has become the only conceivable religion of salvation to which the entire world must bow. Tax avoidance for the rich and super-corporations, the takeover of state functions by corporations, the hostage-taking of peoples through debt regimes, wars of conquest and resource wars.
NATO: the military arm of capitalism in general and of US financial and corporate capital, using “hardcore warfare, soft power warfare = OOTW warfare (10) including lawfare, duty warfare (11), intimidation warfare (12), blackmail warfare (13), regime change warfare” (14) including “PSYOPs” and “cognitive warfare” (15) against its own peoples. Secret services, NGOs, and the media industry as “partners” of organized crime.
The digital revolution, “artificial intelligence,” and transhumanism serve as new profit regimes and are simultaneously instruments for securing dominance in the increasingly fascist West under the leadership of the US. The primary undercover goal is the “enhanced lethality” of the military, i.e., the “improved lethality” of all types of weapons and their total reconfiguration.
UN/WEF centralism with ambitions for world domination (= New World Order) to enforce the 17 Millennium Goals within the framework of radical market ideology via corporate power PPP projects and “global governance,” embedded in Agenda 2030.
EU sub-centralism/sub-imperialism/sub-militarism via “Global Europe Strategy,” “ReArm Europe” (16) (= militarized European market radicalism), US strategy of subjugating Europe with the aim of destroying Europe as an independent, viable peace project, “Readiness 2030” (17), psychopathological hatred of Russia as a legitimizing foil and war against dissidents. The EU is mutating into a transnational fascist project.
The rump nation-state implements the goals of the global fascists and acts as a taxing, controlling, and surveillance state toward its own peoples, even resorting to the use of states of emergency (18) and counterinsurgency (19). “Sovereign is he who decides on the state of emergency” (Carl Schmitt). In the context of a protracted coup “from above,” the “sovereign” was replaced. The result: the collapse of the separation of powers. The executive branch largely controls a subservient legislature, while the judiciary and the police apparatus terrorize critical citizens as ideologically instrumentalized arms of the executive branch. The state is mutating into a fascist repressive construct through its totalitarian top-down pyramid structure. The “biopolitical security state” was tested as a field trial via Corona. The exemption of the criminal political establishment from any criminal and civil prosecution leads to complete legal neglect. Corrupt, conformist ruling parties act as “implementers” in the context of the “coup d’état by global fascists” (20).
Programmed mass manipulation/disorientation/targeted confusion/normopathy (21). As a rule, the mass media do not serve to inform, but rather to create consensus in the interests of those in power (22) . The goal is disinformation, even to the point of “programming/reprogramming” human consciousness through “psychological operations (PSYOPs),” including fear mongering and “cognitive warfare.” The media, international PR corporations, transatlantic NGOs, governments, and NATO “work” on the minds of the masses to suit their own ends. Lies are at the heart of media domination practices. “Democracy” degenerates into crude mass stupefaction and people become completely disoriented. The goal of those in power is to sedate humanity through miserable education, the production of fear, the manufacture of ignorance, and deliberate confusion.
The disorder of values outlined above hangs like a stifling mildew over the entire West. Any party that enters the scene—such as the AfD in Germany—will either be destroyed or, if it wants to enter into a governing coalition with the conformist system parties after electoral successes, will have to submit to the imperatives of the seven pillars.
Democratic development thus remains structurally impossible, and the broad masses bear the brunt of the devastating conditions as victims/perpetrators — as always.
The Corona operation, with its crimes of the biopolitical security state, was merely a testing ground for the far-reaching ambitions of transhumanists and ethically and morally degenerate war enthusiasts (23). The democratic babble of the Western political classes proves to be intellectual necessity, and the endless repetition of clichéd phrases is nothing more than stupid brainwashing of the public. The German political establishment is an enthusiastic pioneer of the sick political conditions in the EU and is driving Europe, and thus its own country, toward a war economy and war. The German NATO/ Pentagon/CIA administration(s) in Berlin have been waging a (cultural) war internally against their own population for about 30 years in order to distract from their complicity with the NATO war regime and its far-reaching war intentions. De facto, Germany and the EU states are ruled by the NATO war machine and global fascist world conquest fantasists (24) Externally, they are preparing—in a division of labor—in close cooperation with the transatlantic US neocon faction (25) for a major war against Russia and China. In this context, the EU is developing into a fascist-like, illegitimate bureaucratic, technocratic, and war monster (= transnational fascism).
European governments support the systematic destabilization of the region and the genocide committed by the Zionists against the Palestinian population (26). In addition, since reunification, German governments have insidiously but systematically developed into an enemy regime against their own population—against “unity, justice, and freedom,” against the constitution, the rule of law, international law, internal and external peace, and the future viability of their own country, and are sliding ever deeper into a “new fascism that does not want to be one” (27). The state is in the clutches of political elements that not only brought about the conditions outlined above, but continue to fuel them because there is no turning back for them.
They have delegitimized themselves and the state they have hijacked. “The delegitimization of the state” is not the work of the citizens, nor can it be the work of the citizens, since the sovereign can create the state he wants at any time — at least in theory. Worse still, the ruling cliques are transforming the state they have occupied into a structural police state against their own citizens. The mendacious construct of the “delegitimization of the state” is thus already the result of a coup d’état from above (28), since the synchronized party cartel has taken the place of the sovereign and does not allow any change to the above-mentioned pillar construct.
The Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben writes about the state:
“What we call the state is ultimately a war machine, and sooner or later this constitutive vocation of the state becomes apparent, beyond all the more or less edifying purposes it may give itself to justify its existence. This is particularly clear today. Netanyahu, Zelensky, and European governments are pursuing a policy of war at any cost, for which purposes and justifications can be found, but whose ultimate motive is unconscious and based on the very nature of the state as a war machine. This explains why war, as in the case of Zelensky and Europe, but also in the case of Israel, is being waged even at the price of its possible self-destruction. And it is futile to hope that a war machine can stop in the face of this risk. It will continue to the end, no matter how high the price it has to pay” (29).
The peoples did not voluntarily put themselves in this fatal situation. They have been, as they have been for millennia, objects of the ruling classes and organized political criminals and their helpers. No matter how one describes the prevailing conditions, as “structural fascism,” “new fascism that does not want to be fascism,” “totalitarian regime,” “structural violence,” “organized unrest,” “rule of global fascists,” CRIMINOCRACY (30) or OMNIWAR (31), “total war” internally and externally: For the vanishing minority in the centers of power, it has always been about consolidating their rule, securing and expanding their wealth, accessing resources and “human material,” and, in modern times, anchoring the illusion of democracy in the minds of the majority.
Emigration: Current figures
Let’s now take a quick look at the number of Germans who have left their homeland in all directions since 2024:
According to official figures from the Federal Statistical Office, 276, The total number of emigrants in the same year, including non-Germans, was 1,278,425. Over the ten-year period from 2014 to 2023, a total of 2,350,916 Germans emigrated, while 1,721,500 returned during the same period (32). The net emigration rate for the ten-year period was therefore 629,416. In 2023, 265,035 Germans officially left the country, while 191,356 Germans returned to their old homeland from abroad. This means that only 73,679 Germans left the country in 2023.
The top 20 destination countries for emigration in 2024 were: 1. Switzerland, 2. Austria, 3. USA, 4. France, 5. Spain, 6. Turkey, 7. Great Britain, 8. Poland, 9. Netherlands, 10. Italy, 11. Russia, 12. Australia, 13. Denmark, 14. United Arab Emirates/Dubai, 15. Sweden, 16. Portugal, 17. Thailand, 18. Canada, 19. Belgium, 20. Hungary (33).
Although the number of annual emigrants is interesting, the number of returnees is also important for assessing successful emigration. This varies considerably depending on the destination country. Satisfaction with the destination country determines whether German emigrants stay there permanently.
In the period from 2014 to 2023, the ratio of emigrants to returnees for the top 20 is as follows: 1. Cyprus, 2. Denmark, 3. Sweden, 4. Hungary, 5. Bulgaria, 6. Slovenia, 7. Croatia, 8. Liechtenstein, 9. Switzerland, 10. Austria, 11. Paraguay, 12. Estonia, 13. Portugal, 14. Finland, 15. Montenegro, 16. Belize, 17. Slovakia, 18. Norway, 19. Malta, 20. Romania (34).
All the authors of this anthology left the country in disgust at the political and social conditions. Some therefore feel like displaced persons, forced into exile, and some are even among those persecuted by the regime. The intensity of the terror exerted on them by the state or subjectively perceived by them therefore varies. Nevertheless, this group is united by one motive: they no longer want to live in this country, under this increasingly totalitarian regime, but also with these “fellow human beings” who support the political conditions. The authors of this book have emigrated to the following countries: Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, France, Canada, Corsica, Austria, Paraguay, Russia, Singapore, Switzerland, Sweden, Spain/Mallorca, and Thailand.
In my view, the most important task of domestic political resistance will be to hold the perpetrators in politics, medicine, science, corporations, and the media and war industries accountable. Whether this can be achieved remains to be seen. In any case, the resistance must prevent the perpetrators of the Corona Titanic from returning in the lifeboat as “resistance fighters” and the mendacious warmongers and distorters of facts in international political relations from continuing as transhuman peace zombies and holding undeserved offices. We have already had something similar in German history, when the scientific criminals were “taken over” by the USA as part of Operation Paperclip Operation (35) and the German desk perpetrators of the Nazis were absorbed by the state bureaucracy.

“In view of the inexorable increase in what has been defined as ‘global civil war,’ the state of emergency in contemporary politics is increasingly proving to be the dominant paradigm of governance. This shift from an exceptional provisional measure to a technique of governance threatens to radically alter the structure and meaning of the traditional distinction between constitutional forms—and has indeed already done so noticeably. In this respect, the state of emergency proves to be a threshold of indeterminacy between democracy and absolutism.”
