VIDEO EXCERPTS: Today I want to read to you an article which is called "Germany's Economy at the Point of No Return". If anyone still needed a concrete figure to illustrate the dramatic state of the German economy, the Federal Statistical Office has now delivered it. The country's investment ratio is negative as depreciation exceeds nominal investments. Slowly but surely, the lights are going out in Germany.
Germany's economy is [...] consuming its own substance just to stay afloat. Private sector engagement is being crowded out by the NGO complex. Green subsidy entrepreneurs and all the incentive hunters who offer no real products or services on the market, but are very adept at exploiting public funding.
Meanwhile, the real economy, the free private sector, is packing its bags. The widespread investment restraint of private industry spans at all sectors. Whether it's mechanical engineering, automotive, or chemicals, companies are retreating and increasingly investing abroad. In 2024, over 60 billion euros in net direct investment was withdrawn from Germany.
The data point released by the Federal Statistical Office is more than alarming. It proves that the situation has long passed the point of no return. The figures show that depreciation exceeded net investments. In other words, depreciation outstripped the renewal of the capital stock. Germany's infrastructure, building stock, and industrial capital are eroding over time and are not being maintained.
It is clear that an economy unable to renew its capital stock in a market conform competitive way is falling behind. People are becoming impoverished and society risks severe social upheavals. This is what we are seeing in Germany but also in other European countries. People cannot afford to go to restaurants anymore or to the cinema. They're saving and avoiding luxury products. they don't purchase them anymore. So, the purchasing power is lagging behind.
It's very baffling. And there's evidence that there's a deep-seated cognitive dissonance not to recognize the collapse of the German industry and to see what it is, namely the dismantling of our prosperity. Since 2018, Germany's industrial sector has lost about 15th of its production volume.
That's crazy.
This is not a normal recession. [...] The self-inflicted energy crisis, which now accelerates in public awareness through this trade of moose, has caused a shock. Yet it has evidently not been enough to produce political course corrections at the ballot box. The German statism has deeply embedded itself into the collective consciousness through the state education system, state alliance media and the constant barrier of green socialist NGOs.
This naive faith in the state is a deeply rooted meta-political anchor that cannot be easily uprooted. In the Federal Republic of Germany, there's a real risk that society in the coming years of crisis will increasingly follow socialist charlatans. They present a painless therapy of simple wealth redistribution as a solution.
Free media and truly independent academia are now called upon to counter the return to complete socialist barbarism which is becoming increasingly evident. Only a few media outlets are standing up against this decay.
Once the continent's second industrial engine, Germany has spent the last decade dismantling the foundations of its prosperity through energy and immigration policies driven more by ideology than evidence or good sense. The results have been rising costs, falling competitiveness, social disorder, and political backlash. Energy has played a leading role in Germany's decline. Reliable, affordable power is the lifeblood of any advanced economy...
