re: Germany's new 'Ministry of Truth.'

Frank Überall, national head of the German Association of Journalists (DJV), bluntly stated: "This smells like censorship."

It seems that all ideas suspected of being "populist" -- or simply those ideas without the blessing of the elites – will now be banned in Germany. This restriction applies to criticism of the government (especially regarding immigration and energy policies), of the EU, of Islam, of government officials and of the media.

The Federal Agency for Political Education -- the information agency of the Interior Ministry – is quite open about it: "Anti-elitism", "anti-intellectualism", "anti-politics" and "hostility toward institutions" are the "key characteristics of populism".

But...but...but... the Left is tolerant, enlightened, benign, and not fascist at its core. Right? Oh, wait...
