Ambitious CO2-policies accompanied by equally ambitious CO2-propaganda

In Germanym eco-fanatism runs in high gear. Politically on federal level, the Green party may not be in power, but the Merkel administration still follows their lead by proposing new bills and regulations to advance a CO2-free economy for Germany by the year 2050.

It's not different on EU level, where the new Commission President, Germany's former Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen, put a new "Green Deal" in motion. This Green Deal is not only similar in its name to the "Green New Deal" proposed by US-Democratic Party members around Alexandria Occasio-Cortez, but also contentwise. For example, even the ECB is supposed to pitch in with its policies to transform the EU into a CO2-free economy. An agency, who's only purpose is to keep the value of the Euro currency stable.

The political climate plans are very ambitious and they have been declared a priority by most of the German political spectrum. One of the downsides is that the measures are expected to leave a heavy mark on the German economy. Prices important economic factors like the price for electricity and gasoline are expected to rise significantly in the upcoming months and years.

Although the population has a positive attitude towards measures to curb the human footprint on earth, the scope of the plans is so far reaching, that even in some politically green and left circles, there are nests of resistance against the totality of the proposed approach.

For this reason, the current top-down drive towards a 100% green lifestyle is accompanied by a massive propaganda campaign by both public institutions like schools, religious institutions as well as by the private and state media. For instance, there is almost no day, on which Swedish CO2-activist Greta Thunberg is not in the headlines of German media outlets.

Propaganda, Self-criticism and Communist manipulation techniques

Meanwhile, everyone who criticizes the green movement or Greta Thunberg in particular for being superficial and for their double standards has to expect strong pushback by the political and media establishment as well as the Social Media mob. One recent example of many is political satirist Dieter Nuhr who dared calling out the hypocricy behind many young activists and had to pay that with the label "controversial" and "pondering to the political right".

Criticism no matter how constructive is "verboten" while everything that advances the cause seems ot be allowed. Overall, the propaganda techniques used by CO2-activists show a strong resemblence to Leninism and especially Maoism with leading CO2-activists even calling for a "Climate Cultural Revolution".

Another trope echoing Maoist activism is displayed in the open disregard of previous generations. Older people are being made responsible for the current "climate crisis", because they poisened the environment in the first place and therefore need to pay for that, as the argument goes.

It is outright an institutionalizing of the "Ok boomer" meme that we can witness in the public presentation of the Anti-CO2 movement. But it is only the Green Party or other enviromental groups inciting young people against their parents and grand-parents, but also public broadcasters who further the disregard of the parent and grandparent generations. Basically all broadcasters are fully committed to the CO2-cause and joined in a long time ago inciting hatred against everyone not in line and especially the supposedly unteachable elderly.

The WDR, dubbed as "Rotfunk"

A recent and very special example for this kind of propaganda came from the regional Western German Broadcaster WDR, which is part of Germany's publicly funded television and radio system. The WDR has a long-standing reputation of being a hotbed for politically left-wing ideologues as for example Professor Norbert Bolz confirms, a media theorist at the Technical University of Berlin.

In recent years though with the graduall loss of appeal for the Socialist ideology, the WDR as many other institutions switched from red to green.

It was a few days ago as a "Christmas treat" for its viewers, when the WDR publised the recording of the old German children's song "My grandma drives a motorbike" sang by a chorus of two dozen primary school girls, just with different lyrics.

During Christmas time this is certainly something nice for the broadcasters viewers since their average audience member is 61 years old. There were surely enough grandparents who were happy to see the girls singing a funny song to them.

"My grandma is an eco-pig!" - Green Party themes packed into a children's song

But instead of the usual lyrics for the song, the children sang about how much gasoline the motorbike is wasting and that therefore "my grandma is an eco-pig", as they were made singing in the refrain.

In the next strophe, the children sang "my grandma is driving with an SUV to her doctor and runs over two grandpas with walking frames." SUVs are one of the main shame vehicles (no pun intended) by Green politicians and mainstream journalists who brand them as unnecessary for daily purposes, dangerous for pedestrians and poison to the environment.

The third strophe of the song then is about "grandma who eats cheap discounter chops". The fight against meat eating as supposedly bad for the climate is another very common theme by the green establishment in media and politics. Of course this strophe ends as well with "my grandma is an eco-pig".

In the fourth and last strophe of the song the girls are being made to sing "at least my grandma is not flying anymore". It is an ending of the song that could almost be called a gesture of reconcilliation. Well, if the song just ended with that. But there is more.

Enter stage: Greta Thunberg...

The most astaunding act of propaganda comes right at the end at 1:25. Here, the song ends and a voice-over by Greta Thunberg begins with a sentence that has been taken from her UN speech: "We will not let you get away with this".

The girls move their mouth while the words are played (in English, the song itself is in German), which means that it wasn't added later, but was an integral part of the act and the girls fully knew about it.

Blatant propaganda

The recording does not leave any questions for viewers in regard of what ideology the WDR is following and what their intentions are. Calling it a blatant display of ideologic bias is almost an understatement.

By law, the WDR as all other public broadcasters in Germany are obligated to be neutral in their reporting while their program has to reflect all of society. The reality appears to look rather different.

Statement by WDR

After complaints by viewers the responsible WDR 2 section of the broadcaster published a statement on Facebook regarding the song. In this WDR 2 explains its regret about the "mixed reactions" about the song which was meant to be a "satire". The statement rejects the allegation by critics of the song that the girls in the chorus have been "instrumentalized".

Still, WDR 2 decided to delete the video with the song because of the backlash against it.
