Orange is the new politics
Seeing politicians go to jail is like a plot twist in a bad TV drama: shocking, yet totally expected. One day they’re preaching integrity, the next, they’re in an orange jumpsuit, claiming it’s all a “political witch hunt.” Of course, they’ll serve less time than someone who stole a sandwich, but don’t worry, they’ll be back soon, rebranded and ready to run for office again. Jail time? Just another line on the résumé!
FAR-RIGHT PLOT FOILED: Five Jailed for Plotting to Overthrow German Government and Kidnap Health Minister
- Friday, 07 March 2025
Five members of a German far-right group were jailed for plotting to overthrow the government and kidnap Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, an advocate of strict Covid-19 measures. The group, associated with the extremist group "Citizens of the Reich", planned to use violence to trigger civil war-like conditions in Germany, including sabotaging the power grid and killing bodyguards if necessary. Four ringleaders were sentenced to between five years and nine months in jail, while a fifth defendant received a two-year and 10-month sentence.
