Methodological note. This text is based on primary Bundestag documents (20/6621, 20/6702, WD 4-3000-008/23), the Last Generation 2022 transparency report (cited in the Bundestag WD opinion), the IRS Form 990 data of the Climate Emergency Fund via ProPublica and Instrumentl, and the websites of the organisations named. The text separates two layers that are systematically conflated in public discourse: (1) the scientific-political question of the climate crisis, and (2) the structural question of who, with what money, organised what kind of activism. The first layer is not negotiated here. The second is the subject.
Methodological note. This text is based on primary Bundestag documents (Drucksachen), the foundation register, the AAS website, and publicly available material on the founder’s Stasi-IM past. Where amounts are only secondary-sourced, this is marked. The foundation does work against right-wing extremism that addresses an unquestionable societal need. The point here is not to deny it its legitimacy — it is to show what the foundation systematically does not show when presenting itself as a “civil society” actor.
Methodological note. This text is based on primary Bundestag documents (Drucksachen), the foundations’ own websites, Correctiv’s governance page, and the program of the German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) 2023 Science Conference. Where amounts or positions are only secondary-sourced, this is marked. The point is not to deny Correctiv its legitimacy — it is to show what Correctiv systematically does not show when presenting itself as an “independent” investigative platform.
Methodological note. This text describes a temporal correlation and places it within a pattern already documented multiple times on this blog: investigative publication + temporally aligned political or civil-society follow-up (see Fernandes-Ulmen campaign parallel to the deepfake law, Network behind the deepfake law, HateAid-Campact funding pipeline). Strict proof of deliberate orchestration in any single case is hard to obtain; the pattern that any single case fits into is not. Sources are fully linked at the end.
It is spring 2026, and the pattern is repeating itself. A new SARS-CoV-2 variant informally named “Cicada” (BA.3.2) is now detected in at least 31 U.S. states[1]. China and Hong Kong are simultaneously reporting their sharpest case rise “in at least a year”, driven by NB.1.8.1[2]. The WHO notes that “limited surveillance data” are increasingly hampering vaccination strategies worldwide[3].
Switzerland is getting serious about transparency — at least on paper. Following a ruling by the Federal Administrative Court, the Federal Office of Public Health (BAG) on 17 April 2026 published the procurement contracts for Covid-19 vaccines [1]. Among them: Moderna, Novavax, Pfizer, Janssen, AstraZeneca, CureVac. Unredacted, as the court demanded.
The vaccination rate among over-60s for the flu shot is, according to the RKI, at its lowest level in 17 years [1]. The COVID-19 vaccination rate in this age group has fallen by more than a third compared to the previous season [2]. At the same time, data from Denmark show that different BioNTech batches showed different adverse-event rates — a study that the PEI dismissed as “not meaningful” without presenting its own data [3].
On 1 December 2025, Christian Drosten appeared as an expert witness before the German Bundestag’s Enquete Commission on “Reckoning with the COVID-19 Pandemic” [1]. The appearance took place under police protection [2].
On 24 October 2021, Stefan Oelrich stood on the stage of the World Health Summit in Berlin. Bayer AG board member, head of the pharmaceutical division. Right in front of him: Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen [1].
On February 18, 2023, Alexander Soros posted a photo on Instagram and X. It shows him with Lars Klingbeil, then chairman of Germany’s Social Democratic Party (SPD), now Vice Chancellor and Federal Minister of Finance of the Federal Republic of Germany.
When The Telegraph revealed in February 2026 that a German businesswoman had called Jeffrey Epstein “Baby” and “Mr Wonderful” — the latter while he was in prison — Nicole Junkermann resigned from the board of a royal charity within days.
Noelia Castillo Ramos didn’t want to die because she was sick.
She wanted to die because no one was there.
At 13, after her parents separated, she was placed in state care. While in a foster family, she was raped in her sleep by her ex-boyfriend. In 2022, she was gang raped by three men. Later that year, she attempted suicide with medication. When that failed, she jumped from a fifth-floor window. The fall left her paraplegic, in permanent pain.
