Stasi: Zersetzung is American Cancel Culture

by

When Zersetzung is upon you or your spouse, is suddenly beset by serial misfortune. Perhaps you are being cancelled.

Stasi: The East German Secret Police: An Overview, written on January 30th summarized how the “Ministerium für Staatssicherheit,” (MfS) operated from 1950 to 1989. Colloquially known as the, “Stasi,” this was one of the most effective and repressive secret police agencies ever to have existed.

Zersetzung: Biodegradation

From the 2007 Movie, “The Lives of Others.”

The fifties and sixties in the GDR brought secret arrests, repression, physical torture and imprisonment. German civil law required warrants for detention and surveillance. Despite that, the Stasi regularly surveilled its citizens, arrested them surreptitiously and held them without charge or cause.

The 1970’s saw monumental concern from the Party apparatchik of the GDR over its international image on the world stage. Consequently, the Stasi sought to retool their operations to be more subtle with their repression. The birth of, “Zersetzung,” sought to provide the East German State with a more positive face in the international community.

Zersetzung in America

Zersetzung means,”biodegradation.” Out with the secret arrests, beatings and torture. Enter the “Cancel Culture.” The Stasi would literally, “cancel,” a citizen of the GDR. The Stasi surreptitiously created conflict in employment, attacked reputations, create conflict in friendships and personal relationships, and created rift in marriages. Isolating and destroying the target was the goal of Zersetzung. Frequently, the targets eventually committed suicide.

The goal was to destroy secretly the self-confidence of people, for example by damaging their reputation, by organizing failures in their work, and by destroying their personal relationships. —Hubertus Knabe, German historian

 Considering this, East Germany was a very modern dictatorship. The Stasi didn’t try to arrest every dissident. It preferred to paralyze them, and it could do so because it had access to so much personal information and to so many institutions. —Hubertus Knabe, German historian

While the Democrats (and let us be clear, some Republicans) engage in a fraudulent impeachment of former President Trump, the narrative engaged to move this action forward is telling. It is a parallel narrative. Facts to this Congressional Apparatchik are malleable and have no baseline upon which they rely. The mainstream news media overwhelmingly pushes a false narrative.

Summit News’ Paul Joseph Watson, laid out an exposé of prominent leftists calling for re-education camps, firing squads for the deprograming of 75 million Trump Supporters.

Here is what Leftists are thinking…

Neo-Fascist Michael Beller calling for Children of Trump Supporters to be taken away.

Michael Beller, Esquire, former Principal Counsel for PBS was quite overt about implementing repression. Caught by a Project Veritas undercover camera, he intimates the following…

“We go for all the Republican voters, and Homeland Security will take their children away. … We’ll put them into the reeducation camps,” –Michael Beller, Principal Counsel at Public Broadcasting Service.

Our favorite leftist Moron Alexandia Ocasio Smollet, (I mean Cortes) had this to add on January 6…

“Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future.”

AOC pushed for an enemies list.

The “Trump Accountability Project” a website formed by leftist sycophants, “was” rife with anti-Trump vitriol targeting anybody and everybody who worked for the Trump Administration. “Was,” because the site is no longer active.

The Ad Hoc American Stasi

  • Propagandist Purge: Social Media Bans the President of the United States
  • State Controlled Media: The Main Stream Media spent the last five years persecuting Trump and his supporters.
  • Suppression of Free Speech: Social Media, Main Stream Media suppresses opinion or twists narratives they do not approve of or otherwise oppose.
  • Pandemic Manipulation: Attacked religious institutions, Small Businesses and Constitutional rights.
  • Biodegradation: The cancelling of Americans, Jobs, relationships, and family.
  • Firing Squads. Some prominent Biden supporters have called for Firing Squads and Hanging.

The Police and Surveillance state is well upon us. The infrastructure is present. The left, now in power need only formalize a State Security apparatus.

 Will Amazon and UPS-like trucks be used as foils for when people are apprehended by the Secret Police? They have become ubiquitous in our communities. The Stasi used Bakery Trucks, and Fruit trucks as vehicles, visiting their targets in the early morning hours to snatch arrestees.

 The Stasi serves as a template of the most repressive intelligence and secret police agencies ever to have existed. In America, it is hard to fathom that we now bear witness to some of the early infrastructure making this sort of secret police force possible.
