An update on the latest of Germany's far-right problem:

- Forces of the Hessian police arrested a 21-years-old Bundeswehr (special forces) soldier Tim F., and secured rifles, pistols and explosives from his family house; ...
...his father was also arrested and his brother appeared voluntarily in front of the police. Allegedly a right-wing manifesto was also found in the raid.
- Since 2017 about 50 soldiers from the Bundeswehr secret service have been checked by the Counter-Intelligence Service (MAD) on suspicion of right-wing extremist activities. Reportedly 5 soldiers have been separated from the Bundeswehr, and 16 others have been transferred.
- 17 Saxon State Criminal Police Office (LKA) officers are accused of stealing thousands of ammunition rounds during a shooting training. A prosecutor is examining links with right-wing extremists, possibly with the Nordkreuz group.
- A new report informed that the network against discrimination and islamophobia (Inssan)had reported 228 cases of anti-Muslim racism in Berlin last year. These go from insults to discrimination to physical attacks.
- Around 20,000 covid sceptics called Querdenkers ("unconventional thinkers") with links to the far-right demonstrated in Kassel where only 6,000 were allowed. The police is being criticized for "looking the other way" & allowing these demonstrations while repressing others.
- Shots were fired during the arrest of a 33-year-old man in Chemnitz. According to Antifa research, the man belongs to the right-wing extremist scene and is involved in the "Pro Chemnitz" right-wing populist movement.
- A 21-year-old cadet was suspended in the North Rhine-Westphalia police after right-wing messages were found on her smartphone in several groups. The Higher Administrative Court in North Rhine-Westphalia (OVG) lifted her suspension as she had done nothing wrong ...
... as she supposedly didn't respond or comment to the messages and she reported it. Allegedly other cadets were involved in the incident. However, only the 21-year old cadet was suspended.

On this day in 1971, the brutal right-wing Bolivian colonel Roberto Quintanilla, the man responsible for ordering the execution of Che Guevara & allegedly cut off his hands, was killed by German socialist revolutionary & guerrilla fighter Monika Ertl, dubbed "the avenger of Che".
Ertl, the daughter of a Nazi propagandist who fled to Bolivia, in early life worked with her father and learned how to use a camera and weapons. The family's close friends were other Nazi fugitives such as Klaus Barbie, a Gestapo leader known as "the Butcher of Lyon".
She rejected her father's ideology and grew closer to the socialist cause, admiring the Cuban Revolution and especially the Argentinian doctor and commander Che Guevara.

On International Transgender Day of Visibility, we remember the revolutionary transgender communist, activist and writer, Leslie Feinberg.
Feinberg was an active anti-war and anti-racist activist who helped organize several campaigns following attacks against African-Americans by the KKK. She organized pro-choice protests and defended LGBT bars and clubs from right-wing attacks.
She was a fervent believer in the power of organization to fight back against all kinds of oppression.

Colorized photos of the #Nakba ("Catastrophe"), when between 750,000 and 1 million Palestinians were displaced from their land and homes in historical Palestine during Israel's creation in 1948. ImageImageImage
As thousands of their fellow Palestinians were slaughtered by Israel forces around them, Palestinian families fled in terror to neighbouring countries and to the West Bank and Gaza. ImageImageImage
Today there are over 7 million Palestinian refugees and displaced people, including Nakba survivors and their descendants. Israel still refuses to allow them to return to the land they were forced from, despite the internationally-recognized legal right of return. ImageImage

Meet the Night Witches, the communist female fighter pilots who bombed Nazis at night.⁠
The all-female Soviet 588th Night Bomber Regiment, consisting of 80 women, flew over 23,000 missions in combat and dropped 3,000 tons of bombs on Nazi invaders in a span of four years, becoming a crucial asset in winning World War II.
They were seen as one of the greatest threats for Nazi soldiers and they were hated and feared so much that any Nazi airman who downed one was awarded the prestigious Iron Cross medal.⁠
