Hey peeps,
dropping a little spontanous episode on ya before the holidays. At the beginning of this month, Germany saw one of its largest counter-terrorism operations of the post-war era happen. Those arrested belonged to a right-wing terrorist cell that had planned to send a group of armed men into parliament, take control and elevate a minor noble to the position of German monarch. The group these folks belonged to is part of the so-called "Reichsbürger"-scene that is similliar to to sovereign-citizen scene in the U.S. (only a lot crazier). Hope you enjoy this little dive into this coup-attempt and Germany's various (self-declared) kingdoms.
Since this is probably the last post for this month, let me wish you happy holidays, merry Christmas and a happy new year!
See you all in 2023!
Best,
Dan
