Stephanie Kirchgaessner and Kate Connolly at The Guardian:
A German aristocrat who hosted Samuel Alito at her castle in 2023 has revealed new details about her friendship with the rightwing supreme court justice, including that they share a mutual friend who played a key role in JD Vance’s conversion to Catholicism. Gloria von Thurn und Taxis, a onetime party girl turned traditionalist Catholic activist who has faced criticism for her defense of far-right politicians in Germany, told the Guardian that she first met Alito in Rome – she could not remember what year – and that both were friends of Dominic Legge, a priest and Yale Law graduate in Washington who Vance, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, has often cited in discussions about his adult conversion to Catholicism.
The relationship between the 64-year-old noblewoman and Alito sparked media interest after the supreme court justice revealed last week in a financial disclosure form that he had accepted concert tickets worth $900 from the billionaire, who refers to herself as a princess even though Germany’s aristocracy was officially disbanded after the first world war. She later told the German press that Alito had overestimated the cost of the tickets, but did not elaborate. The supreme court justice has previously faced scrutiny for failing to report free travel on a private jet from a wealthy conservative billionaire who had business before the court, a story first reported by ProPublica that is a part of a broader ethics scandal that has engulfed the high court in recent years. Alito faced a separate controversy earlier this year after it was discovered that his household had flown an upside-down flag, a symbol of Stop the Steal campaigners who falsely claim the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, as well as a second flag at a beach property that was associated with the Christian nationalist movement. Alito’s disclosure about the free tickets are significant for another reason: they reveal new insights into Alito and his wife Martha-Ann’s apparent personal ties to a European aristocrat who is deeply entrenched in an international rightwing movement that is seeking to advance conservative Catholic policies.
Allies in her fight include the rightwing nationalist Steve Bannon and the ultra conservative German cardinal Gerhard Müller, who she once called the “Donald Trump of the Catholic Church”. Her circle is known to be fiercely critical of Pope Francis – who is seen as too liberal by orthodox and traditionalist sects of the Catholic church. Legge, who leads the Thomistic Institute in Washington, is a prominent member of an elite circle of traditionalist Catholics in the US capital, and sits on the board of an organization – the Napa Legal Institute – alongside Leonard Leo, the powerbroker who is widely seen as having used his influence to install Republicans’ conservative supermajority on the supreme court and reportedly recently called for conservative activists to “crush liberal dominance at the choke points of influence and power in our society”.
[...] Von Thurn und Taxis compared herself to the late British Queen Elizabeth – whose family she noted was of German descent – and said the role of the aristocracy in Germany was to unite people and “keep politics out of the salon”. She also claimed in an email not to know that the decision that overturned abortion rights is called the “Dobbs decision”. But an examination of von Thurn und Taxis’s own activities shows that the woman who was known during a punk phase – before her turn to conservative Catholicism – as Princess TNT, for her explosive personality – has deep political ties that have given her access not only to supreme court justices, but inside the Trump White House.
[...] “This is not just about the arrogance of a powerful man already embroiled in controversial ties to billionaires. It is also about the company he keeps: choosing to accept very expensive concert tickets from a woman who embraces far-right politicians who are aligned with her outspoken hostility toward abortion access and marriage equality,” said Lisa Graves, the managing director of Court Accountability and a former deputy assistant attorney general at the US Department of Justice. Graves added: “Their alliance is unsurprising though very troubling since Alito has been using his position on the supreme court to advance a parallel regressive agenda into law.” In October 2019, at a speech in Washington in which she effusively praised the Trump administration, von Thurn und Taxis personally thanked Leonard Leo for setting up meetings for Cardinal Müller, who she was traveling with, to visit the White House and meet with people who were directly advising Trump on religious liberty and free speech.
She warned that, if Trump was not re-elected, “they will come after us” and that “nothing less” was at stake than the right to worship. Democrat Joe Biden, a devout Catholic, later won the 2020 election, but neither he nor Nancy Pelosi, another prominent Democratic Catholic politician, are seen as authentic Catholics by traditionalists. During that trip, von Thurn und Taxis also met and was photographed with Alito, Cardinal Müller, the supreme court justice Brett Kavanaugh, and Brian Brown, who was then the head of the anti-LGBTQ+ group National Organization for Marriage (NOM). According to reporting by the New Yorker, NOM was actively lobbying the court on cases involving gay rights at the time of the meeting.
This year, in a speech at the National Conservatism Conference in Brussels in April called Threats to Faith and Family, von Thurn und Taxis served up a series of grievances about the state of the family in Europe, complained that “only homosexuals want to get married”, while unmarried heterosexual couples were opting for pets instead of children. She also criticized – in an apparent reference to the availability of reproductive rights in Europe – how leaders continued to “finance the killing of our offspring”, which she said would exacerbate future labor shortages on the continent. “Does this make any sense? Is there some kind of racism? Are we not supposed to reproduce?” she asked rhetorically, before launching into praise of Hungary, which she said was an outlier in supporting families with children. Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian autocratic leader, has been a guest at the noblewoman’s festival.
The Guardian has a explosive report that SCOTUS Justice Samuel Alito has ties to far-right German aristocrat Gloria von Thurn und Taxis.

When the Nazis wanted to sell their fatherland and relativise it, or how stupid do you have to be to vote for such traitors to the fatherland!
My favourite phrase is: not everything was bad about the French Revolution, for example the guillotine.
Maximilien de Robespierre more or less
Of course, this is only satire, but it is interesting to see that if they were in the world they would like to live in, they would have been executed by themselves precisely for this.

The Flaw in the African Entrepreneurial Mind
The typical African is without doubt becoming more imprisoned in the “job concept”. The facts have it that, before the advent of colonialism, the African had total autonomy over his/her work. He, apart from cultivating the land had so many crafts and is well resourced with novelty. Industrialization swoop us off the land and introduced us to a new order. An order characterized by malicious…

AfD banned its top candidate in EU vote
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has banned Maximilian Krah, its leading candidate in European elections, from further campaign activities following his remarks that members of the SS (Schutzstaffel), the paramilitary wing of the Nazi party, “were not all criminals”.
A party spokesman confirmed on Wednesday that the AfD’s federal steering committee had banned the politician from speaking in public until after the European Parliament elections, which will take place from 6-9 June.
Krah told Italian newspaper La Repubblica last weekend:
“I will never say that everyone who wore an SS uniform was automatically a criminal.”
On Wednesday, Krah wrote on X that his statements were “used as a pretext to harm our party”. He added that he would refrain from making any further campaign appearances and resign as a member of the party’s steering committee.

Wajahat Ali at The Left Hook (12.21.2024):
Elon Musk, the richest man on Earth and the current daddy of the GOP, tweeted an endorsement of the racist, anti-immigrant, pro-Nazi Alternative for Germany (Afd) party. The timing could’ve been better. A few hours after his tweet, a terrorist plowed his car into a Christmas market and killed five people in Germany. The suspect is a Saudi Arabian refugee and atheist, who is an anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant supporter of the AfD, and a fan of Elon Musk. The suspect also supports Tommy Robinson, the racist hooligan who incited violent riots with his hateful lies and was actively promoted by, wait for it, Elon Musk. Earlier today, Vice President JD Vance emerged from hiding to tweet what appears to be a defense of Musk and the AfD. JD Vance has forgotten or doesn’t care he’s married to an Indian American woman and has bi-racial children who are seen as “invaders” seeking to “replace” Western, white civilization according to the AfD and their right-wing supporters, which now includes a man who gave $250 million to elect Donald Trump and feels emboldened to target Republicans and torpedo a bipartisan spending deal. This is the modern Faustian bargain all Republicans must make to ascend to political power and protect themselves from an increasingly violent, belligerent base that lives on Earth 3 due to a 24-7 IV drip of conspiracy theories fueled by cultural grievances and racism. Please remember it was Vance who once referred to Trump as America’s Hitler. I think Trump took it as a compliment. After all, Trump repeatedly quotes Hitler’s attacks on Jews and immigrants and said he “did some good things” according to his former Chief of Staff, Gen. John Kelly. Both Vance and Trump aggressively promoted a Nazi conspiracy of Haitian immigrants eating pets even after they were told it was a lie. Trump said there were “very fine people” on “both sides” during the white nationalist march in Charlottesville where people chanted Nazi talking points. If it talks like a Nazi, tweets like a Nazi, promotes Nazi talking points, apologizes for Nazis, and admires Nazis, you can be confident it’ll be supported by Elon Musk and modern MAGA leaders. Is that statement hyperbolic in light of everything Musk, Trump, and Vance have openly said? If you’re still in doubt, just focus on the AfD for a moment. In the summer, the AfD’s Maximillian Krah told journalists that SS members, the Nazi paramilitary group responsible for numerous war crimes including genocide, weren’t automatically criminals. "It depends. You have to assess blame individually,” he told the Financial Times. In the past, one of its party’s leaders described Berlin’s Holocaust memorial as a “monument of shame” and called for a "180-degree turnaround" in how Germany handles its Nazi past. (I assume he wants to replace shame with celebration?) A co-founder of AfD, Alexander Gauland, has warned about an “invasion of foreigners” and sees Islam as alien to German society. Last February, German courts ruled that the country’s intelligence agency can classify AfD’s youth movement as an extremist movement as it “continues to engage in massive anti-foreigner and, in particular, anti-Islam and anti-Muslim agitation.” In the summer, a German court held that the AfD is an “extremist” organization whose members can be surveilled and investigated by domestic intelligence agencies.
Elon “Apartheid Clyde” Musk and VP-elect JD Vance gave support to Germany’s far-right fascist Nazi-loving Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party. This is so disturbing.
