Berlin blackout: How dangerous are left‑wing extremists?

A left‑wing extremist group has claimed responsibility for an attack on a Berlin power plant. What drives such an attack, and how serious a threat does this radical network pose?

According to security authorities, the assault on a gas power station in southwest Berlin was carefully planned. On Saturday, January 3, 2026, attackers deliberately destroyed cables using incendiary devices. The consequences were severe: cold apartments, dark streets, disrupted rail lines and widespread internet outages.

Of the 45,000 households initially affected, two-thirds were still without electricity on Monday. Because of the extensive damage, repairs are expected to continue until Thursday.

Leftwing militants claim responsibility for arson attack on Berlin power grid

German leftwing militants protesting over the climate crisis and AI have claimed responsibility for an arson attack that cut power to tens of thousands of households in Berlin.

The fire that broke out on a bridge across the Teltow canal in the south-west of the capital early on Saturday could deprive up to 35,000 homes and 1,900 businesses of electricity – and in many cases heat – until 8 January, the grid company Stromnetz Berlin said.

Ten Years On, German Elite Still Plays Down Cologne Migrant Sex Attacks

Over 1,000 women were sexually assaulted and raped across Germany’s major cities exactly ten years ago today, in an enormous and apparently coordinated act of violence by recently arrived migrant men, the nature and causes of which are still the subject of attempted obfuscation to this day.


Not surprising. The RCMP/TPS lied to us about the Danforth Shooter being a devout Muslim who singled out female victims.

German Elections 2026: Coalition Faces Tough Test Amid AfD Surge

Germany is heading into a critical election year in 2026, with five state votes set to challenge Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s centre-right-leftist (CDU-SPD) coalition.

Public dissatisfaction with the government is high, driven by stalled reforms, broken promises, the inability to handle illegal migration, and internal infighting, leaving the right-wing AfD poised to make historic gains.

In the eastern states of Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the party is positioned to dominate local politics unless centrist parties can form broad coalitions. Even in regions where the AfD is not leading, its growth signals a significant shift in voter sentiment, challenging the traditional dominance of the CDU and SPD.

German 18-year-olds asked: Are you ready for war?

Germany sounding out next generation of soldiers with mandatory survey on fitness and attitude amid fears of war with Russia

German teenagers will be greeted with a survey from the army about their readiness for war as they turn 18, when the country’s new military service scheme comes into force.

As of Thursday, all German males turning 18 will be legally required to fill in surveys sent out by the armed forces, or Bundeswehr, about their fitness for service. Those who refuse face a fine of up to €1,000 (£800).

The survey is part of Germany’s new military service scheme, which has been significantly watered down from an original proposal to bring back conscription.

Germany Deports Syrian Criminal for First Time Since 2011

Germany has deported a Syrian criminal to his home country for the first time in more than a decade, marking the country’s first such return since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011.

The deportation took place on Tuesday, when the man was flown to Syria’s capital, Damascus, on a scheduled flight and handed over to local authorities, the Federal Ministry of the Interior in Berlin said. The Bild newspaper first reported the case.

Merz Told To “Get Lost” at Magdeburg Christmas Market Commemoration

Mourners turned on the chancellor, blaming his continued support for mass migration for the security failures that led to the deadly attack.

Friedrich Merz’s attendance over the weekend at a memorial service commemorating last year’s attack on the Magdeburg Christmas market was not greatly welcomed by attendees. Instead, the chancellor was met with loud protests—some telling him “we don’t want you here,” crying “shame on you,” and urging him to “get lost.”

Six people were killed and hundreds of others injured—some critically—when a Saudi psychiatrist and refugee named Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, who was known to German police, drove a car into a crowded Magdeburg Christmas market during the city’s 2024 festivities.

‘Goodbye to Berlin’

In the annals of urban history, few cities embody the tragic interplay of aesthetic aspiration, ideological fanaticism, and moral decay as fully as Berlin. Hailed as the pulsating heart of European cosmopolitanism in the 1920s—a metropolis where artists, intellectuals, and bohemians converged in a symphony of experimentation—it now awaits the course of history, evidently broken. Its trajectory through the twentieth century reads as a somber elegy for lost grandeur. Gone is the magic. The echo of the interwar Berlin that Christopher Isherwood (author of the 1939 novel Goodbye to Berlin) conveyed so elegantly has long since fallen silent.

Another Magdeburg Market Muslim Terror Plot Proves Need for “Decisive Action”

A man, described in the German national press only as a 21-year-old Central Asian, was arrested in Magdeburg on Friday to prevent him from carrying out attacks against large crowds.

The timing and location are significant. Just a year ago, a Saudi psychiatrist and refugee who was known to German police drove a car into a crowded Magdeburg Christmas market during the city’s festivities, killing six people. It is for this reason that this year’s market quietly opened under tight security.

“Why Not Celebrate in Damascus?” AfD Asks As Syrians Hold Rallies in Germany

German migration policy came under renewed fire after the right-wing opposition AfD sharply criticised large gatherings of Syrians celebrating the first anniversary of the fall of the Assad regime—not in Damascus, but on the streets of German cities.

As many critics have pointed out: the scenes are evidence that Germany’s approach to asylum and integration has fundamentally failed.

Time to send the Syrians back.

Asylum-Seeking Minors Cost Germany €12.2B Since 2015

Burgergeld – Citizens Money or Welfare in Germany

Since 2015, at least €12.2 billion has been spent on the accommodation and care of unaccompanied minor asylum seekers in Germany, according to exclusive figures obtained by AfD Member of Parliament René Springer. The actual sum is likely significantly higher, as several federal states have provided incomplete or missing data. Between 2015 and 2024, authorities registered nearly 190,000 unaccompanied foreign minors, known as UMAs.

In Germany Left-Wing Extremism Simply Does Not Exist!

Why German youth embrace violence and extremism

In 2023, a 15- and a 17-year-old plotted to attack a Christmas market in Leverkusen (North Rhine-Westphalia). In online chats, the two supporters of the “Islamic State” (IS), considered a terrorist organization by German domestic intelligence, plotted to kill as many people as possible by driving a truck into the crowd of revellers. Two days before the planned attack, the teenagers were arrested after police had become aware of their online chats. The minors were sentenced to four years in prison in 2024.

Cases like this are increasingly worrying German security authorities. The Federal Criminal Police (BKA) has for years been recording an increase in violent crime . The number of juvenile suspects under the age of 18 has increased by almost a third since 2019, and the number of suspects under the age of 14 has even risen by two-thirds in the same period.


DW is a state funded propaganda outlet like our own CBC.

With the AfD on the rise DW no doubt fears for funding hence the steady drumbeat of “far-right” extremism.

Oh look the Antifa that doesn’t exist does battle with the Police.

Far-Left Mob Tries To Shut Down AfD Youth Launch

The German city of Giessen saw huge disruption on Saturday as thousands of far-left protesters tried to block the AfD from launching its new youth wing—forcing the meeting to be delayed and triggering a major police operation across the city.

Extreme left-wing groups began arriving early in the morning, with police warning of coordinated attempts to obstruct access to the venue. One group, “Resist,” openly boasted that it had blocked several routes and claimed to have gathered 15,000 supporters. In total, 23 separate rallies had been registered, and authorities expected around 50,000 protesters to descend on the city.

Tweet Translation: “If this is anti-fascism, I prefer those who are defamed and attacked by this left-radical mob…”
