German far-right training for CIVIL WAR & collapse of state, intel warns
German ultra-nationalists believe a civil war and an eventual demise of the state will come about, and are preparing for it by training to use firearms and explosives, a local security service has warned.
Germany’s domestic intelligence agency, the BfV, sounded the alarm over the rise of the underground far-right, according to Die Welt. An intelligence report seen by the paper calls for increased surveillance of so-called “preppers” – a loose network of ultra-nationalists who prepare for apocalyptic scenarios.
Those people are collecting firearms and other supplies in preparation for “a civil war” or “a feared collapse of public order” in Germany, the BfV revealed. The preppers movement, which first emerged in the US, has long been rooted in survivalism – which sees far-right militias making stockpiles of food, ammunition and medicine that they would use in the event of a doomsday scenario.

Separately, there is an alarming number of extremists who could plot attacks involving improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and small arms. Notably, many of those on the far-right were indoctrinated “a few months or years” ago, but were not known to the agency before joining extremist groups.
German ultra-nationalists usually radicalize through social media and right-wing chats, where the perceived spread of Islam and inflow of immigrants dominate most discussions, the BfV report said. However, far-right terrorist acts – involving IEDs, knives or arson attacks – remain poorly organized, as there are “blatant gaps between planning and reality.”
Nevertheless, some politicians say the far-right scene is a growing threat to public safety. “Right-wing extremist structures today are as dangerous for our democracy as they have ever been since 1945,” a Green Party MP told Die Welt.
This is not the first time that German authorities have voiced concern over far-right extremism. Last year, police made arrests of suspected ultra-nationalists who were plotting high-profile attacks on immigrants and “people of different political views.”
And in 2017, it was reported that police had carried out extensive raids in several German states on premises linked to the far-right, finding a list containing names, addresses and photos of over 5,000 politicians, mostly belonging to left-wing or liberal parties. The group that was targeted in the search included both an active-duty police officer and a lawyer who has denied that the document was a “kill list.”

Common problem with mainstreamers: If you predict or warn of a civil war you are considered to want it.
I see no harm in being prepared for bad things happening. That's just common sense. I used to tell my mother to keep jugs of drinking water in her cupboards in case of Earthquake. Is that a crime? Geez.... some people need everyone to be as defenseless, irrational, and stupid as they are.
However, conflating preparation for catastrophe with terrorism is downright duplicitous, and I see you did that here. For shame. That is nothing more than pejoration. You should retract that portion of this story, because it is not related at all. Might as well have a story on people insisting on breathing, and then pointing out that terrorists also insist on breathing. In fact, that's exactly what you did do here.
People preparing for hard times aren't preparing to make them happen. Those are separate issues, and should remain separate articles. This conflation you have effected has resulted in deflation - of my respect for you.
