We’re all in this together? Well, not quite. German MP Nikolas Löbel, a member of Angela Merkel’s CDU party, will quit parliament and not seek re-election. British MPs will be smirking as ‘the house’ in Pigminster voted to make corruption legal whilst outlawing principles and honesty.
The reason for the German parliamentarian’s fall from grace, a series of deals on protective face masks that landed Löbel around €250,000.
As the coronavirus pandemic took hold in Germany, a company owned by Löbel brokered deals between a Chinese face-mask manufacturer and healthcare companies in the cities of Heidelberg and Mannheim. The contracts netted the 34-year-old MP a cool €250,000 ($298,000), Der Spiegel reported.
Löbel, impudently defended his underhanded deal as ’in line with the market,’ but was bombarded with calls to resign. On Sunday he announced that he would retire from politics at the end of August, and from the CDU and its sister party, the CSU, immediately. Well, he will still receive a pension plus other benefits of low office not to mention €250,000 in his back pocket.
He wrote in an apology statement to German media. ’I take responsibility for my actions and draw the necessary political consequences.’
Löbel has a remarkable gut-wrenching likeness to Vladimir I. Lenin, one of the crooked masterminds behind the carnage wreaked on Europe by the Bolsheviks from 1917. Löbel’s August retirement date wasn’t soon enough for his opponents, who continued to press for his immediate resignation. After a meeting on Sunday afternoon, his own party sided with the opposition, demanding that Löbel ‘complete this withdrawal from all offices and mandates’ by the end of March. By Saturday evening, it was still unclear whether Löbel would honour his party’s demand.
Löbel is not the first CDU politician embroiled in a mask-supply scandal. Georg Nüsslein, a CSU lawmaker from Bavaria, stands accused of lobbying the government on behalf of a mask supplier last year, earning him €660,000 ($800,000) that he then didn’t pay tax on. Nüsslein denied any wrongdoing, but resigned on Friday from his post within the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, and announced that he would not seek re-election in September.
Michael Walsh, the dissident journalist comes directly to the point. ‘The two brazen culprits are scapegoats as there isn’t a parliament in the European Union which hasn’t unearthed politicians whose interest in office is simply self-aggrandisement. Source

They call the political backers in the West, the swamp. It is more like an unending Bog, bottomless and ever-widening. That the puppets feel entitled to act just like their masters is understandable. Greedy, unethical, without morals, and without empathy.

In China these corrupt officials wouldn´t be ¨asked¨ to resign, they would be arrested, tried and executed within less than 3 months. While our governments howl like raging animals about transphobia in the military, the Chinese have developed weapons which make them unassailable. O, I forgot to mention, they also cleaned up their isllamic problem and are working on other religiously insane groups. No wonder they are ahead of us
