Nachschlag Nr. 1 zu „Ein neuer Mantel fĂŒr die PDS“

von Hermann Ploppa

tand: 12.August 2005

Es sind jetzt knapp zwei Wochen vergangen, seitdem ich mein Dossier in Berlin veröffentlicht habe. Seitdem gibt es Bemerkenswertes zu ergÀnzen.
Neue Dokumente und neue Ereignisse haben die im Dossier geĂ€ußerten Vermutungen weiter untermauert.

ZunĂ€chst einmal: Da wir ja ĂŒber keine geheimen GesprĂ€chsprotokolle irgendwelcher bösen Konspirateure aus verqualmten Hinterzimmern verfĂŒgen, können wir bislang keinen justitiabel und wissenschaftlich einwandfreien Beweis fĂŒr die Annahme bieten, Kreise innerhalb der PDS hĂ€tten eine Westausdehnung ĂŒber eine „Tarnfirma“ WASG geplant und betrieben.

Auch hat man sich den Vorgang nicht so vorzustellen, daß hier ein Fahrplan aufgestellt wurde, dessen Stationen sodann penibel abgehakt worden wĂ€ren. Vielmehr wurde ein Problem erkannt (das Aussterben der PDS); sodann wurde ein Konzept „angedacht“ (PDSPlus von Michael Brie im Mai 2003). Es bedurfte aber letztlich doch der vorgezogenen Neuwahl sowie der sanften Verkupplungserpressung durch Lafontaine, damit das angedachte Übernahmekonzept praktisch umgesetzt werden konnte…

Ein neuer Mantel fĂŒr die PDS

(Juli 2005)

Es gibt eine Reihe von Indizien, daß die PDS, zusammen mit Kollaborateuren bei der WASG, die Übernahme schon lange geplant hatte. Vordenker der PDS hatten das Konzept einer westdeutschen Sozialpartei links von der SPD schon ab 2002 in der Schublade. Die PDS-Vordenker taten dieses aus nackter Überlebensnotwendigkeit. Denn die PDS ist hoffnungslos ĂŒberaltert. Ihre traditionellen Infrastrukturen brechen im Raketentempo weg. Die PDS-FĂŒhrung leidet unter RelitĂ€tsverlust und zieht sich in parlamentarisch-administrative SphĂ€ren zurĂŒck. Die Strukturkrisen der PDS werden nach der Wahlniederlage bei der Bundestagswahl 2002 offensichtlich. Dies ist der Wendepunkt, wo bei der PDS-eigenen Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung laut nachgedacht wird ĂŒber Rettungswege.

Eine RLS-Studie von Ende 2002 von AndrĂ© Brie/Michael Brie/Michael Chrapa geht noch von einer inneren ReformfĂ€higkeit der PDS aus, und macht eine Reihe vernĂŒnftiger VorschlĂ€ge. Jedoch bringt der nachfolgende Geraer Parteitag bei der PDS keine ReformansĂ€tze. Der alte Schlendrian geht weiter. Daraufhin verfaßt Michael Brie im Mai 2003 eine Studie mit einem ganz neuen Konzept: PDSPlus. Die PDS soll sich wenigstens als Volkspartei in Ostdeutschland konsolidieren. Das Überleben der PDS ist aber nur denkbar, wenn in Westdeutschland eine neue Sozialpartei gegrĂŒndet wird, die dem Anschein nach selbstĂ€ndig ist. Ein „personeller Kern“ soll aber tatsĂ€chlich die Anbindung an die PDS gewĂ€hrleisten. Die neue Westpartei soll jene WĂ€hler erreichen, die nicht mehr die Altparteien wĂ€hlen, aber auch die PDS nicht wĂ€hlen wollen.

Im Februar verfaßt PDS- und RLS-Mitglied Ralf KrĂ€mer auf westdeutscher Seite das GrĂŒndungsmanifest dieser neuen Sozialpartei West. Durch eine geschickte Heimlichtuerei wird die Mainstreampresse angelockt, und das Wort von der linkspopulistischen Partei macht die Runde. GesprĂ€chskreise grĂŒnden sich in Westdeutschland. Sie bilden den Kern der neuen Sozialpartei. PDS-Strategen wie Joachim Bischoff leiten die spontanen Inititiativen in die richtigen – PDS-kompatiblen – KanĂ€le.

Diesen Kreisen ist schon lange klar, daß im Falle eines angestrebten gemeinsamen Wahlkampfauftrittes der neuen WASG und der alten PDS nur eine der beiden Parteien ihre Liste beim Wahlleiter anmelden kann…

Netanyahu says Israel to expand settlements in West Bank despite global backlash

“We cannot ignore the numbers: 104 communities that we established and legalised together, and 160 farms, with more to come,” Netanyahu said.

Israel has faced growing international outrage over its settlement expansion, as violence by settlers against Palestinians soars.

US giving Netanyahu free pass on Gaza plan: Palestinian politician

“Netanyahu is stalling, and he is abusing the whole situation, and he is continuing the bombardment,” Barghouti told Al Jazeera.

“Unfortunately, the Trump administration is not responding to the challenge that Netanyahu put on table. Netanyahu rejected the peace plan. He rejected what was proposed. He rejected what Palestinians accepted and has shown great flexibility towards. And the United States, instead of telling Netanyahu that he has to respect what he has accepted before and start implementing it, they’re giving him leeway,” he said.

Inside the growing rift between Iran’s dealmakers and ultraconservatives

It was in this climate that a leaked video of Mohammad-Bagher Kharrazi, the brother-in-law of Masoud Khamenei, the younger brother of Iran’s supreme leader, emerged as part of what critics describe as a broader hard-line campaign.

In the video, Kharrazi claimed that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei had “formally and publicly announced” that if Pezeshkian attempts to resign one more time, his resignation would be accepted.

(…)

Soon afterward, however, another audio file surfaced in which Ali Saeedi, a conservative senior figure close to the Khamenei‘s office, claimed that the supreme leader had expressed support for the negotiations and criticised hard-line opposition to diplomacy.

According to Saeedi, Khamenei told one of his brothers: “I have never opposed negotiations, and I still do not. I was the one who authorised the negotiations, and I am not satisfied with the hard-line positions adopted by some people.”

Saeedi also claimed that Khamenei supports Ghalibaf, saying: “He is like [the late Quds Force commander] Haj Qassem Soleimani.”

Can Netanyahu say just what he likes?

(October 25, 2015)

A political consultant once related how he lunched with Benjamin Netanyahu, who ordered a hamburger with fries. He was not supposed to be eating such foods – doctor’s orders. As they were finishing up, Bibi’s wife, Sarah, came in, saw the evidence and began to see red. Netanyahu, all righteous indignation, looked her straight in the eye and said he had eaten no such hamburger. The storyteller said he was convinced at that moment that Netanyahu himself believed it.

If apocryphal, it is definitely in character. Netanyahu regularly embraces bad ideas or even lies so totally that he convinces himself of their rightness. Others start to believe them too. His outlandish idea, uttered in a speech, was that Hitler would have been happy with just expelling Jews if a Palestinian, the then grand mufti of Jerusalem, had not suggested annihilation instead.

Israel rejects Trump’s Gaza peace plan, saying no withdrawal until Hamas disarms

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his country has rejected the latest US-backed peace plan for Gaza, demanding the full disarmament of Hamas before any Israeli forces withdraw.

The comments come more than a week after Trump announced a breakthrough in negotiations, with his Board of Peace (BoP) issuing a new 15-point plan aimed at securing lasting peace in the territory

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council issues drastic new demands of the US, as conditions for reopening Hormuz

Iran’s politburo-like body known as the Supreme National Security Council says the Strait of Hormuz will not open until the United States “corrects its behavior,” and issues drastic new demands that could shake up talks on a deal to manage the waterway and traffic on it.

Iran’s state broadcaster publishes the statement by the council’s secretary, Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, who is also a commander in the powerful Revolutionary Guard.

Staatsrechtler zur aufgeschobenen Ministervereidigung: „Merz han­delt ver­fas­sungs­widrig“

Es geht hier immerhin um eine der grĂ¶ĂŸten Regierungsumbildungen in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik. Und da soll es fĂŒr einen Teil der Abgeordneten nicht möglich sein, fĂŒr einen Tag aus dem Urlaub zurĂŒckzukehren? UnabhĂ€ngig davon ist diese Norm aber schlicht geltendes Verfassungsrecht und an dieses hat man sich zu halten. Ich finde es schon einigermaßen verstörend, dass diese Frage ĂŒberhaupt aufgeworfen wird. Wir betreten da gefĂ€hrliches Terrain, wenn wir verfassungsrechtliche Vorgaben aus OpportunitĂ€t einfach links liegen lassen.

Netanyahu says ‚there is no room for two states‘

“Another principle of the government, of the broad national government that I intend to lead, is that there is no room for two states. Between the sea and the Jordan River, there is no room for two states,” he told reporters.

“Now, you ask me, three years ago, before the war, the public was divided on this issue. Although I believe that most of the public was opposed, a significant portion supported it. I think that has changed. This is now a basis for agreement.”

Earlier, he described the framework agreement with Lebanon as a „historic accomplishment“ and a „massive blow to Iran and Hezbollah“.

Netanyahu said the understandings reached with Lebanon and the US recognise Israel‘s right to maintain a security zone inside southern Lebanon for as long as it considers necessary.

MassenĂŒberwachung und Hacking: Der BND soll neue mĂ€chtige Instrumente bekommen

(January 12, 2026)

Sowohl Verkehrsdaten als auch Inhalte von massenhaft abgegriffener Kommunikation soll der Geheimdienst bis zu einem halben Jahr speichern und durchforsten dĂŒrfen. Am deutschen Internetknoten DE-CIX in Frankfurt/Main dĂŒrfte der BND neben dem eingehenden nun auch den ausgehenden Datenverkehr ĂŒberwachen.

Das geplante neue Gesetz soll aber auch ganz andere TĂŒren öffnen, die den Geheimen aktives Hacken und Sabotage erlauben wĂŒrden. Der Geheimdienst dĂŒrfte dann in Netzwerke eindringen und sich an aktiven Hacking-Angriffen beteiligen, wenn nach BND-Anfrage nicht freiwillig kooperiert wird. Um Staatstrojaner auf informationstechnischen Systemen aufzubringen, sollen BND-Leute laut FAZ auch heimlich in Wohnungen einbrechen dĂŒrfen.

When Mandelson could bring down Starmer

(March 14, 2026)

As my big piece on Starmer last month revealed, even after Mandelson was appointed, Starmer never quizzed him about how to deal with Trump. All this exposes a Prime Minister with Olympic levels of detachment. It has been known for a while that he has little interest in politics but those who have worked with him have been genuinely surprised at his lack of interest in the detail of governing.

(…)

The book also reveals that the decision to sack Mandelson was taken by McSweeney, not Starmer. On the day the PM defended Mandelson in the Commons, McSweeney was in a secure basement conference room without his phone when two of Starmer’s closest aides – Paul Ovenden and Stuart Ingham – came to find him. Ingham told him: ‘We just can’t answer these questions.’

McSweeney’s response – ‘It’s unsustainable’ – was the moment the decision was effectively made.
