WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:07.173 Under Friedrich Merz, the CDU suffered a series of three historic electoral defeats within just two weeks and, for the first 00:07.173 --> 00:11.280 time in its history, failed to clear the 5 percent threshold. 00:11.280 --> 00:15.296 She is thus being completely ousted from the state parliament in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. 00:15.296 --> 00:22.320 In addition, 83% of all eligible voters are dissatisfied with Chancellor Friedrich Merz. 00:22.320 --> 00:27.380 It is the lowest rating ever recorded for a sitting chancellor in the DeutschlandTrend survey. 00:27.380 --> 00:33.888 As the CDU is falling apart, the planned reforms are facing strong criticism nationwide, and the chancellor’s position 00:33.888 --> 00:40.380 is seriously in jeopardy, the chancellor said the following after the election defeat on Sunday, September 20, 2026: 00:40.380 --> 00:44.352 “The reforms must happen.” 00:44.352 --> 00:51.220 Of course, this puts us all in a difficult situation, but we'll take on this responsibility. 00:51.220 --> 00:57.300 "I am taking on this responsibility because I want to move our country forward." 00:57.300 --> 01:02.160 Wait a minute—despite all the setbacks and criticism, the chancellor is sticking to the planned 01:02.160 --> 01:05.376 reforms and carrying on as if nothing had happened? 01:05.376 --> 01:09.408 Merz is taking responsibility and “wants to move our country forward”? 01:09.408 --> 01:17.580 As long as he and all other politicians cannot be consistently held accountable, this statement has absolutely no meaning. 01:17.580 --> 01:24.400 German activist, author, and entrepreneur Stefanie Tsomakaeva advocates for the concept of “political accountability.” 01:24.400 --> 01:30.688 The aim is to hold politicians more legally accountable for their political decisions. 01:30.688 --> 01:35.660 Her book, *POLITICIANS MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE*, was published in mid-2023. 01:35.660 --> 01:42.305 In an interview on Kla.TV, she said: “Those in power can only do whatever they want because we let them, because we don’t 01:42.305 --> 01:48.180 hold them accountable, because we don’t take action ourselves, because we just sit on the couch and complain.” 01:48.180 --> 01:54.956 "And as soon as we shed our superstitions, take control, hold them accountable, and—when in doubt—take 01:54.956 --> 02:01.760 matters into our own hands, think for ourselves, and have a say in the matter, things will change." 02:01.760 --> 02:07.400 However, without truly independent reporting by free media, this cannot happen. 02:07.400 --> 02:11.405 This is because the mass media politically sway the public from left to right and back 02:11.405 --> 02:13.840 again, without addressing the root of the problem. 02:13.840 --> 02:18.680 And why? Because they themselves are part of the system—and therefore part of the problem. 02:18.680 --> 02:26.540 By sharing this and other posts on the topic, you can actively help put an end to this spectacle. 02:39.940 --> 02:44.200 It was a joy for me from an early age—to throw the TV away 02:44.200 --> 02:47.140 Because mass media news gets me down and annoys me 02:47.140 --> 02:50.160 They actually swore to provide balanced reporting 02:50.160 --> 02:53.100 But for years and decades now, all we've heard are tall tales 02:53.100 --> 02:59.160 All of humanity is being blinded—by their spell of lies They whitewash every act of genocide on television 02:59.160 --> 03:05.721 How could it be any other way, when they simply belong to those who, in a diabolically evil way, destroy any chance of world peace 03:05.721 --> 03:08.240 Ninety percent of the mass media belongs to nine conglomerates 03:08.240 --> 03:11.200 The largest shareholder? – That’s not hard to guess 03:11.200 --> 03:15.174 It's Vanguard and BlackRock—yes, the investment banks The ones that make money off crises and 03:15.174 --> 03:17.140 have their tentacles wrapped around the world 03:17.140 --> 03:20.060 Those who profit from wars—and also make money from reconstruction 03:20.060 --> 03:23.060 Have media outlets around the world that obey and serve them 03:23.060 --> 03:26.100 How can you expect them to report anything at all, then? 03:26.100 --> 03:30.980 What's even remotely true, instead of dirty stories? 03:32.544 --> 03:44.192 By virtue of our office as the people, as the voice from the light We say to you: It ends here; this far and no further 03:44.192 --> 03:56.100 We have recognized you for what you truly are We will take the scepter from your hands, for this is our time! 03:56.100 --> 03:59.904 Up-to-date, concise, and to the point. 03:59.904 --> 04:02.540 Kla.TV Infotakt
