26.03.2025 was the 30th anniversary of the entry into force of the Schengen Agreement.
This agreement states that there will be no systematic checks on persons at borders between the states that have signed it.
To mark the 30th anniversary, the public media once again tried to put a positive spin on the abolition of borders.
In WDR, the author raves about a "huge feeling of freedom" on her first trip abroad after the Schengen Agreement came into force.
The Tagesschau quotes an MEP who describes Schengen as the "most valuable asset of European integration", and the
Swiss SRF expert also declares the agreement to be one of the EU's most important achievements.
When our forced-fee media report so positively about something, it is always worth taking a closer look.
As a counter-voice to this uncritical reporting, we are therefore showing you our series on the Schengen Agreement, which was
broadcast in 2018 - but is still highly topical - summarized again in a single
programme. The Schengen Agreement (www.kla.tv/12349):
Our series deals with the Schengen Agreement.
The name of the agreement is derived from the place where it was signed:
On June 15, 1985 in Schengen, Luxembourg, the states of France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Germany
agreed on an agreement with the following core sentence:
"Internal borders may be crossed at any point without checks on persons."
Other countries joined the agreement in the following years.
There are now 26 "Schengen states" in the so-called "Schengen area".
The eastward expansion of the agreement took place in 2007, when border controls with countries
such as Poland and the Czech Republic were abolished.
Switzerland acceded to the agreement on March 1, 2008.
The Greek EU Commissioner for Home Affairs, Avramopoulos, made a bold statement in 2015 on
the 30th anniversary of the Schengen Agreement:
"The creation of the Schengen area is one of the EU's greatest achievements and it is irreversible."
Kla.TV exposes the dubious methods used by politicians and the media to conceal the fatal
consequences of the introduction of the Schengen Agreement:
Unbridled illegal immigration, a drastic increase in crime and an increasingly vulnerable population.
Schengen enlargement to the east: Politicians and the media rejoice - the population
suffers. - The population suffers (www.kla.tv/12350):
Shortly after the opening of the borders between Germany and some eastern countries, e.g. Poland and the Czech Republic,
in 2007, politicians and the leading media were consistently positive about the eastward expansion of Schengen.
The headline in Stern was: "A historic event for Germany". The Tagesspiegel was jubilant:
"Brandenburg is delighted about Poland's Schengen accession."
Angela Merkel spoke of a historic moment, Poland's Prime Minister Tusk of a triumph of freedom.
A few years later, the leading media had to row back:
"In year 10 after the EU's eastward expansion, companies in the border region are hiding behind high fences, private
individuals are barring their windows and protecting themselves with alarm systems. The sense of insecurity is palpable."
The Focus reported on exploding burglary figures.
Der Spiegel described the Upper Lusatia region in Saxony as "open for plundering".
Neighbors would no longer visit each other there because they were afraid of becoming victims of a burglary while they were away.
In Oberlausitz, cars, tools, rain pipes and even shoes are stolen from hallways.
Was the initial enthusiasm of politicians and the media about eastward enlargement really genuine -
or just a strategy to calm a skeptical population?
Switzerland: Schengen membership bought at a high price (www.kla.tv/12363):
The Swiss population was persuaded to accept the Schengen Agreement with a CHF 20 million propaganda campaign.
The referendum campaign was financed with federal funds and by business associations such as "Economiesuisse".
In order to assert its interests, "Economiesuisse" promised, among other things, that the agreement
would bring more security. The reality is different:
Schengen has led to a massive increase in cross-border crime!
Robberies increased by 22% from 2008 (entry into force of Schengen) to 2009 and again by 15.7% from 2011 to 2012.
In 2012, 20-40% more burglaries were committed compared to the previous year, depending on the region.
The Swiss population was thus doubly cheated:
First they were allowed to co-finance the pro-Schengen propaganda through their tax payments and now they are also
allowed to bear the consequences of the increased crime rate.
Federal government condoned the dangers
(www.kla.tv/12351): Eight months before the eastward enlargement of the Schengen area, the Left Group
put the following questions to the German government
Question: "Is it true that the Federal Government assumes an increased security risk at the borders with
Poland and the Czech Republic, and if so, how does the Federal Government justify this?"
Government response:
"Experience at the western Schengen internal borders shows that illegal immigration and cross-border crime
must be expected within the entire Schengen area, despite appropriate compensatory measures."
It was therefore already clear to the government at the time that illegal immigration and
crime would increase with the eastward expansion.
Despite this, Interior Minister Schäuble had even promised a gain in security.
Isn't that a deliberate deception of its own population?
What goals are German politicians pursuing when they knowingly expose the German people to such dangers?
And why are they not being held accountable for the damage caused?
Deception of the population through premature all-clear (www.kla.tv/12364)
After only three months of expansion in the east, the German Ministry of the Interior has already given the all-clear:
"The concerns of people in the border region have not materialized. The first 100 days have shown that.
Our police officers do their job well and reliably."
The leading media are spreading headlines such as "Open border reduces crime", according to WELT.
The head of the federal police union, Rüdiger Reedwisch, sharply criticized this approach:
"There is still a lack of reliable figures on the development of petty crime in order to create a picture of the
situation", the Ministry of the Interior does not release official statistics and has muzzled the police departments.
In 2012, the police's assessment was bitter.
Cross-border crime" - car thefts, burglaries, smuggling, arms and drug trafficking - had increased enormously.
The Czech-Bavarian border became the main transshipment point for crystal speed - a dangerous, rapidly addictive drug that leads to
mental illness - while cars, construction machinery and tractors disappeared on a grand scale along the German-Polish border.
Solar parks and ATMs were also looted.
Conclusion: First the people in the border region were deceitfully deceived about
"Schengen" - and then left alone with the consequences!
Are crime statistics being falsified to reassure the population? (www.kla.tv/12365):
Around 4,000 crimes were missing from Brandenburg's crime statistics in 2014!
The reason: an official directive required serial offenses to be combined into a single case.
Conversely, journalist Udo Ulfkotte found out that a single burglary offense had been "sold" to the public as three
different crimes (a burglary, a trespassing and a damage to property), probably to make the success statistics look better.
Crimes are also often considered "solved" if only one suspect has been assigned to a crime.
According to the chairman of the Association of German Criminal Investigators, politicians
have been playing window dressing for years.
The fact that 75% of all domestic burglaries and 90% of all sexual offenses and
cybercrime are not reported at all is being concealed.
The following is particularly worth mentioning:
During his time in office, former Federal Minister of the Interior Thomas de Maizière is said to have
instructed the heads of the state police authorities to underestimate refugee crime in the statistics.
Policewoman Tania Kambouri, author of the book "Deutschland im Blaulicht" (Germany in blue light), said that the
statistics from the Federal Criminal Police Office could be falsified to avoid stirring up fear among the population.
Are such manipulations intended to give the population a sedative pill?

G7 controls reveal the problems of open borders (www.kla.tv/12352):
Border controls with Poland and the Czech Republic were introduced in May and June 2015
to protect the G7 summit in Upper Bavaria.
Criminals were arrested on an hourly basis.
The result of the border controls, which lasted only 4 weeks, was: 8,600 violations of the Residence Act, 430 denied entries,
150 criminal offenses uncovered and 60 arrest warrants executed.
This is twice as much as is normally picked up nationwide during this period.
The fact that these checks are only carried out when it is a matter of protecting politicians, as was the case at the G7
summit, is a scandal in relation to the ordinary population!
Reinhold Gall, the former Minister of the Interior of Baden-Württemberg, said in 2015: "Where there are
no more borders, crime also moves without barriers."
Lack of exercise of state power leads to anarchy (www.kla.tv/12368):
On the website "Cashkurs" by German financial expert Dirk Müller, also known as "Mr. Dax", author Thomas Trepnau warns urgently
that Germany is still not exercising its state authority if it continues to allow hundreds of
thousands of people to enter the country illegally.
Trepnau explains this on the basis of Georg Jellinek's Allgemeine Staatslehre:
A state consists of three elements: state territory, state people and state authority.
The national territory is defined by its borders, and these must be protected and not left to
arbitrariness and arbitrariness both internally and externally.
The same applies to state authority.
If a state does not exercise its state authority by allowing hundreds of thousands of people to enter
illegally, this state loses an indispensable element of its statehood, i.e. the state ceases to be a "state".
The dissolution of the state is followed by anarchy, which means a lack of rule, lawlessness and chaos.
This anarchy is already clearly evident in its beginnings through the increased occurrence of brutal
assaults, bodily injuries, rapes and even homicides.
Thomas Trepnau makes serious accusations against those responsible:
"The blood of victims killed or injured by illegal immigrants is on the hands of those who
allowed or even encouraged uncontrolled immigration."
In view of the worldwide dissolution of borders - not only in the Schengen area - the German book and film author
Gerhard Wisnewski speaks of a major "megatrend" that is behind everything, namely the destruction of human life.
Borders - as a structural feature of human society and all human life - would be deliberately destroyed:
national, financial, economic, biological and social borders.
If structural features such as borders are removed, then life itself is destroyed.
Without borders, there would be no life.
Join us in stopping this trend of deliberate destruction of life!
The dissemination of these important dissenting voices can be a first step in this direction.
