“Don’t Advertise with Right-Wingers” * The Gateway Pundit * by Collin McMahon

As the Alternative for Germany (AfD) continues to lead the polls in Germany, the establishment parties and left-wing NGO network are in full panic mode. Now, German Soros NGO “Campact” has issued a blacklist of “right-wing” news sites, podcasters, and YouTubers, and threatened advertisers unless they join their boycott. 

The way it looks now, history will be made in the East German state of Saxony-Anhalt on Sept. 6 when voters elect a new state assembly. The right-wing AfD party is leading the polls at 43% with their extremely likable and personable candidate Ulrich Siegmund, who gathered thousands of supporters over the weekend in a rock-concert style atmosphere.

This is Ulrich Siegmund, a German patriot of @AfD. He is widely supported by Germans, and in two weeks, he could win in Saxony-Anhalt and change course of history in Germany and Europe. We support him; you can too, if you wish. Remember, only AfD can save Germany and Europe. pic.twitter.com/XoqKz43TE2

If the AfD wins an absolute majority in Saxony-Anhalt in two weeks and Ulrich Siegmund becomes the first German state governor, it will mark a historic shift in European politics. Not only will the AfD be able to demonstrate whether they can govern a state effectively, but they will also be able to ditch the state broadcast treaty that underlies the German BBC-style public broadcasting network. Left-wing German pubwebs ARD and ZDF have long abandoned any pretense of objective reporting and campaign outright against the largest opposition party, the AfD.

Over the weekend, charming man-of-the-people Ulrich Siegmund was able to completely disarm ZDF TV “comedian” Fabian Köhler, who tried to frame him with asinine “Gotcha” questions – such as asking if Siegmund “prefers the Hitler Youth anthem to the East German communist anthem?”, or if he would “wait for a blonde, blue-eyed doctor” if he had a heart attack.

“Are you serious? Is this supposed to be funny?” Siegmund roasted the left-wing comedian to the jeers of his supporters and voters. This exchange was widely distributed on X by alternative media channels, backfiring completely and making the leftie reporter look like the fool he is.

So now the lead Soros-funded NGO “Campact” (fashioned after Podesta/Soros-funded “MoveOn”) has unleashed a boycott campaign against those pesky alternative media channels, calling for advertisers to boycott a list of 62 successful channels it views as “far-right”. The evidence is usually only a link to an AfD-related report or a left-wing Antifa hit piece.

The list published by Politico sister newspaper “Welt” includes virtually all major alternative media sites: NIUS, ApolloNews, Kontrafunk radio, Epoch Times Germany, Tichys Einblick, Swiss Weltwoche, as well as prominent AfD politicians including Alice Weidel, Ulrich Siegmund, Beatrix von Storch, Maximilian Krah, Petr Bystron, and Martin Sichert, a Bundestag delegate who is being excluded from running for office in Lower Saxony on Sept. 13 due to spurious allegations of extremism.

Establishment parties have unleashed a campaign to exclude at least 4 AfD candidates from running in local elections in Lower Saxony, home of Volkswagen (The Gateway Pundit reported.) Yesterday, the local administrative court in Wilhelmshaven rejected an emergency stay on the ban of AfD mayoral candidate Thorsten Morisse. This is in addition to constant threats of violence AfD candidates face from masked “Anti”-Fascist street militias, plus debanking, deplatforming, canceling, loss of jobs and livelihood, and character assassination via mainstream media hit pieces.

In August, the vice-chair of the German police union GdP Sven Hüber warned that police may have to “prepare to restore constitutional order” by declaring a “state of emergency” in Saxony-Anhalt should the wrong party win: A clear call to “insurrection”.

Then it was revealed that Hüber is a former East German border patrol commander and Communist “political officer” accused of ordering the abuse of dissidents and refugees before the Fall of the Wall in 1989.

Campact reports it has put pressure on 90 advertisers to join the boycott, of which 30 companies have already agreed to join the blacklist of patriotic media.

The companies joining the boycott include major corporations which do business in the United States: Procter & Gamble, discount retailer ALDI, and French insurance corp. AXA (US: Equitable Insurance Co.), DEVK Insurance Corp, US jobs website Indeed, and “Resident Evil” producer Constantin Film. The Gateway Pundit readers are encouraged to politely inform these companies that Free Speech is not optional in the United States of America and consider taking their business elsewhere.

“Campact” received $300,000  from George Soros’ Open Society Foundation 2021, including $150,000 for the censorship NGO “HateAid”, of which it owns 50% of. Its censorship subsidiary “HateAid” works closely with the German federal government and received €2,516,218,80 in the years 2021-2023 from the Justice Ministry and Family Ministry.

Campact insists that it is not federally funded, but its subsidiary HateAid acknowledges it receives 21.4 % of its funding from the German government (2024). HateAid has been designated a “Trusted Flagger” by the German federal network agency Bundesnetzagentur, and HateAid Co-GM Josefine Ballon sits on the Bundesnetzagentur advisory board. On Dec 23, 2025, the US State Department imposed sanctions on HateAid Co-GMs Anna-Lena von Hodenberg and Josefine Ballon.

Since Open Society explicitly channels funding to HateAid via Campact, it seems hard to argue that the organizations are not co-funded, meaning the German federal government is funding an NGO complex that is trying to influence elections, censor free speech online and boycott conservative media.

Campact also acknowledges spending €2.85 million in Saxony-Anhalt to defeat the AfD and support left-Green parties. Foreign funding of election interference is technically a crime in Germany, as in the USA.

“The legacy parties and their taxpayer-funded NGO network are panicking ahead of two major state elections in eastern Germany, where the AfD is the most popular party and may even assume the State government,” AfD vice-chair in the Bundestag Beatrix von Storch told The Gateway Pundit.

“As with Donald Trump’s elections, they will resort to all sorts of underhanded machinations to prevent the voters from getting what they want. They say they are afraid for Democracy, but they are actually afraid of Democracy. Fortunately, the German voters have seen through this charade, and there’s nothing they can do to stop the people from getting their way.”
