German authorities have thwarted a plot to kidnap the health minister by a group of Reichsbuergers, (German sovereign citizens) . They call themselves “the United Patriots” and they deny the existence of the German state.
The authorities detained four people who in addition to plotting to kidnap the minister, were planning to destroy power facilities to cause a nationwide power outage. Their goal was to produce “conditions similar to civil war” and ultimately wanting to overthrow the government.
They seized a total of 22 firearms, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, a large amount of cash and numerous gold bars and silver coins. They also found forged vaccination and test certificates.
As others have mentioned, this shows the dangerousness of a “small minority… in society.”
“We are dealing with a mixture consisting of conspiracy theorists, opponents of vaccination but also Reich Citizens that we hadn’t seen in this form so far,” said the head of Rhineland-Palatinate state’s criminal police office, Johannes Kunz.”
