Conservative Party in Germany Classified as 'Extremist'

The conservative party in Germany, Alternative for Germany (AfD), was classified as 'extremist' by Germany’s domestic intelligence agency. The U.S. criticized the designation, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio calling it 'tyranny in disguise.' The AfD leaders and supporters claimed it was politically motivated and a blow against democracy.

Germany's far-right party AfD designated as extremist by intelligence agency

Germany's domestic intelligence agency has officially designated the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) as extremist, isolating the country's largest opposition party. The move follows a three-year investigation into the party's actions against the central fundamental principles of the constitution. Despite capturing a significant portion of the vote, the AfD remains politically isolated and shunned by mainstream parties.

Language Guidelines for U.S. Intelligence Community

The United States' top intelligence agency wants to ban the use of 'biased language,' including terms like 'radical Islamists' and 'jihadist,' in an effort to be more inclusive and avoid offending Muslim-Americans. Critics argue that these initiatives are part of a 'woke' cultural shift that could harm national security operations. The agency's magazine also features an article by a male intelligence officer who discusses the benefits of crossdressing.
