1. Who is who?
-
Hans-Christian Strache: leader of the conservative-right party FPÖ (Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs - "Freedom Party of Austria), current Vice-Chancellor of Austria
-
Sebastian Kurz: Chairman of the Austrian People's Party (Österreichische Volkspartei) since May 2017 and currently the chancellor, i.e. head of government of Austria. The ÖVP is in a coalition with the FPÖ.
-
Martin Sellner: de-facto speaker of Generation Identity Austria (Identitäre Bewegung Österreich - IBÖ), political activist in the alt-right spectrum.
-
Russian Lady X: Some supposedly Russian or Latvian "oligarch's" daughter.
-
Jan Böhmermann: German state media smear merchant of some notoriety, show-runner for a cynical pseudo-leftist satirical TV magazine.
-
Brenton Tarrant: you all know him, but you won't believe how he is connected to all this.
2. What happened?
So, in 2017, Strache was set-up to make incriminating statements regarding the FPÖ's methods of obtaining donations and potentially getting around regulations against illegal campaign donations, e.g. from abroad. Russian Lady X used one of Strache's party functionaries (Gudenos) to get to him over the course of a couple of months. It was almost like a intelligence agency op:
- contacted Gudenos about buying some of his real-estate
- pretended to be interested in settling in Austria
- claimed to intend making investments in Austria in the future
- expressed wish to meet Strache some time
- invited Strache and Gudenos to dinner on Ibiza in a finca bugged up the wazoo with mics and hidden cameras
- spent 7 hours trying to make the two politicians make incriminating statements (such as how to take over a major news paper and using it to influence the populace in the run-up to the elections)
Later, a couple of months ago, Böhmermann dropped a cryptic comment during an award ceremony on Austrian state TV:
Böhmermann had said in an acceptance speech [...] for the Romy award: "I'm right now hanging out with a few FPÖ business friends in a Russian oligarch's villa on Ibiza - all coked-up and filled with Red Bull, negotiating if and how I can take over the "Kronen-Zeitung" newspaper and assert dominance over public opinion."
Böhmermann hatte in einer Video-Dankesrede bei der Verleihung des österreichischen Fernsehpreises Romy vor einem Monat gesagt: "Ich hänge gerade ziemlich zugekokst und Red-Bull-betankt mit ein paar FPÖ-Geschäftsfreunden in einer russischen Oligarchenvilla auf Ibiza rum und verhandele darüber ob und wie ich die 'Kronen Zeitung' übernehmen kann und die Meinungsmacht in Österreich an mich reißen kann."
This week parts of the video got leaked in the MSM exactly one week before the VERY IMPORTANT EU Parliament elections. As a result Strache resigned today as Vice Chancellor, and the FPÖ-ÖVP coalition looks to be about finished. Chancellor Kurz will be speaking about its future shortly.
3. What you should know:
Here is where it gets even more interesting: Martin Sellner, the Generation Identity activist has been through quite a rough couple of weeks: last year he received a donation from Brenton Tarrant, $1500 or so, after which he exchanged a couple of mails of gratitude. This year, after Christchurch, the Police raided his home (not the first time - the IBÖ has been through some phony court cases brought against them), took his equipment, leaked his donation records to the press and his emails, thus starting a HUGE smear campaign against the IBÖ. In the media, Sellner is now branded as a member of a terrorist organization.
And what did the supposedly patriotic FPÖ vice chancellor Strache do? He had nothing better to do than to distance himself from the IBÖ and Sellner publicly and clearly. So the globalist deep-state and its media allies are at the moment shooting from all barrels. They make the conservative-right government cuck out on trumped-up charges against identitarian activists, make them distance themselves from these guys, publicly state that IBÖ and the FPÖ have nothing in common, and then they get a full broadside themselves not a month later.
Mind you, Martin Sellner and the IB are nothing to scoff at. They were instrumental in bringing the "Global Compact for Migration" to public attention in the first place in Germany and Austria, next to numerous other successful and effective campaigns.
So the Austrian Government is basically a sitting duck, as the deep state, the leftist media, the courts, the civil service are all rigging the game, using smear campaigns, demonetization, de platforming, denial of bank service, trumped-up charges, illegal search warrants, leaking of private information between courts, state attorneys, media and police in order to push conservative and patriotic activists, parties and organizations out of public view.
I know the post title sounds like click-bait, i.e. that there is a direct link between this news and Christchurch. The link really is the very forces which are using these tactics globally. Think 5-eyes-alliance, think Paypal, think UN, think Macron and Ardern getting up to no good, think US democrats selling out American soil to invaders, think Assange and a fishy loan to Ecuador, think, think, think, see the links, see the connections.
4. What's next?
It's possible, even likely, that by the time I post this, the coalition is dead and there will be re-elections held soon. What this means for the EU election campaign of patriotic parties in Europe, particularly Austria and to some extent Germany one can only guess. I suppose quite a few center-right leaning people in Austria might switch to the conservative center in Austria, which will be a bitter blow for the new EU faction of conservative right parties (European Alliance of Peoples and Nations, EAPN), including Mateo Salvini's Lega Nord of Italy, Marine Le Pen's National Rally Party and Germany's AfD.

He was set up, but from what he said you can see that he is corrupt. End of story.
He offered the 'Russian' lady access to public contracts, if she would buy one of the leading national newspapers, and help his party with an election campaign.
This is corruption.
If he would have been a decent man, they wouldn't have been able to set him up.
He, too, is part of a swamp, although it's not the globalist swamp.

Agree with you, but I have no skin in the game anyway. Change will not come through political parties, because all parties just cement the system, perpetuating corruption, which is a feature of it.

For being someone with no skin in the game, you sure spent a lot of time preparing this submission.
I wish more voat submissions on the topic were to the tone /u/think-'s comment rather than trying to reframe this sting operation by making a victim of Strache. Seriously, the only relevant information here is that Stracher got caught in a sting of operation, and he got caught in a sting operation because he was willing to sell his country for money and power.
That's the only important thing. Just because he was allegedly on our side, there's nothing to downplay or sideplay here. He was corrupt and a potential traitor. He got caught. Good riddance.
But that's not what's going to happen on Voat, is it? On Voat, we need to divert attention from the corruption and the filth in the conservatives and nationalists, and pretend that it's all about the conspiracy on the other side, because that's the only defence we're going to have when they'll get to the really big fish, and voaters must not realize that they got stringed along for years, they got played as puppets, with the pretense that the rich and the powerful give a shit about their ideals and aren't there just to get even more rich and more powerful at their expenses.

Thanks for this comment.

You're welcome, but I should really be the one thanking you. I've mostly lost hope (and interest) in Voat because of how much it has been flooded by one-side and acritical posting and commentary, so it's really refreshing seeing that there's still level-headed people able to exert the necessary critical thinking.

Thank you for your compliment, @bilog78. Right batcha' you!
Yes, Voat gets flooded by one-sided news, many bots and shills operating here.
But there are still many people who have an independent mind as well.
Maybe you'd like to come over to v/pizzagate, and see for yourself. ;-)
Our research focuses on elite pedophilia, and how it is being facilitated by corruption.
The lesson I have learned in the past 2,5 years - corruption is a prerequisite for other crimes, like trafficking and organized child rape. It's all connected.
Hopefully, more people will educate themselves about the nature of political corruption (it's clearly a bi-partisan issue), and will have a closer look at aspiring politicians, who start their career at council level.
That's where they get introduced to the system.

It's really a pity that not enough attention is given to corruption. Even when people do care, it's always focused on “the other side” doing it, and closing an eye (or both) when it's an ally (or perceived such).
People need to be (made) aware of the fact that an individual that can be corrupted isn't on their side, not even —or maybe espeicallt even— when they seem to be: corruptible individuals only care about themselves, and what they can sell to get the next bribe —and you can count on that being the supporters they've managed to gather.
But how do you get people to pay attention?
