Chronology of scoops published on that site at [1]. Some headlines translated:

* Leak of AfD (right-wing populist German party) internal chat, which reveals Nazi quotes.

* Article showing collaboration between a neonazi and police in Leipzig.

* Outing right-wing arsonist who was also a police informant.

* Research on the Identitarian Movement, revealing organizational structure.

* Leak of customer data of a Nazi online shop outing parliament member as customer.

No wonder they made some good enemies.

Every single one of these "scoops" carries the narrative "the authorities / the police / people who don't share our opinion collaborate with or are nazis"; laying the mental foundation for further G20 type riots and their self-justification. This narrative is getting quite old for most people these days, even though most support non-violent anti-neonazi and anti-extremist organizations.

Outlets like indymedia and the notorious local establishments appear to be more interested in searching in their local neighbourhood politics for justification to riot than in novel kinds of extremist or outright fascist movements developing on a global scale. This makes it a bit difficult to believe their self-proclaimed goals.


any evidence for that first charge there? There have been some well documented collusion between elements of the police and far right wing types in Germany. AfD is also winning local elections there.


To provide a more balanced picture, there's a competition held at that site:

Riot-Bundesliga [1]. Who fucks up cities the most? Throw paint at buildings! Set cars on fire! Destroy property of political enemies! And banks! And stores! Beat up (probably) right-wing people! And cops! Go win the crown!

The problem is that it's the hot phase right before the election, and Interior Minister de Maiziere, who himself comes from a family with close Nazi ties (https://twitter.com/wasloshamburg/status/901010204598222848) wants to prove, especially after G20, that he is the personification of "law and order".

What I am really afraid of is Joachim Herrmann (CSU, Interior Minister of Bavaria) succeeding that moron after the election. Herrmann recently introduced the possibility of "indefinite jailing" ("Endloshaft") for people that the police deems as "dangerous".

The German Conservatives always have been rightwing-authoritarian, but the pressure from AfD neonazis has shifted their entire politics even more towards right-authoritarian than I would ever have thought possible.

To make matters worse, the SPD has not been able to produce a qualified candidate who actually wants to take back stuff like Hartz IV which the working class really hates, the Green Party got their policies stolen / made irrelevant (environmental protection, exit from nuclear energy), and the Left Party (as well as the non-parliamentary lefties) are rather battling themselves than the Conservatives and the Nazis.


* Leak of NPD (the other right-wing populist party) donors' names and addresses.

NPD is more extremist than AFD
