WHAT WE CAN DO POLITICALLY IN THE FUTURE!

We together, our citizens’ movement, are forming groups in all 299 constituencies. These groups can be pure IBAM basis groups, in which one talks about all political topics of this world, so to speak. But they can also be IBAM topic groups, for example of people who want to commit themselves to vaccination-free health care or holistic medicine or for…? At present we already have more than 200 such groups in Germany.

All groups then democratically select a politician whom they support or vote for in the next elections. If there are several candidates in a constituency, a selection procedure takes place and ONE candidate is democratically elected, who then exclusively represents HIS voters in the Bundes- or Landtag. The basic requirement for a candidate is our “Common Sense Manifesto” (see below). By the way, this term was created by our member of the IBAM Board of Directors, the well-known comedian and moderator Jens Lehrich. With this term he addressed one of the biggest problems of our politicians, the lack of common sense.

Everyone is welcome to start IBAM groups. And everyone who feels called is welcome to represent us in the Bundestag, in the Landtag, in the community or even in Brussels. We are not interested in who you are and what you have done before. We welcome professional politicians who are not satisfied with their party. But we are equally happy about “the cashier next door” or the local entrepreneur who has been thinking about politics in Germany for 20 years. The only condition is that you conform to our manifesto of common sense and carry a great love in your heart to engage yourself for other people. We are firmly convinced that love is a boomerang.

WHAT ARE EXPERT?

If the Corona crisis has shown us anything, it is that we need expert tables and not just the opinion of one or two experts. The influence of lobbyists who distribute ‘donations’ has for decades prevented experts with different opinions from sitting at the same table. Nearly all so-called expert rounds look like this: all experts have the same basic opinion and then only discuss details.

Think for yourself what would have come out of this crisis if Prof. Drosten and Prof. Wieler had been at the same table from the outset, but also well-known luminaries such as Prof. Streeck, Prof. Mölling, Dr. Bhakdi and Dr. Wodarg. Would there have been a shutdown as well? According to what we know today, this must be clearly denied. But what many people are not aware of is that we currently have much bigger crises than Covid-19. In Germany, for example, about 700 people die of cancer every day, and about 240,000 every year! Nevertheless, there are still no expert tables with oncologists of different disciplines. The same applies to our economic and banking system. We now have a really sick system with minus interest rates and there are many different views than those of the German Bundesbank. But even these experts are never heard.

Or think of the CO2 crisis. Or think of environmental protection in general, keyword plastics. The almost non-existent animal welfare, where our government has been failing miserably for decades, although all necessary changes are known and could easily be implemented etc. etc. But changes will not be feasible as long as parties can be easily bribed or influenced. That is why we will build a democracy in which bribery of politicians is almost impossible. A democracy in which politicians must answer only to their voters and not to their parties. A democracy in which the voice of each individual is once again valuable.

We are founding groups all over Germany, in which people with different opinions meet, but meet lovingly and treat each other with respect. Let us not let politicians and the media rob us of our hearts. But our groups do not only serve to improve our democracy. They will also help us to make new friends, have a good time with like-minded people, or simply to improve our quality of life.

„Common Sense Manifesto“

We are a growing group of people who have understood that this great crisis is also a great opportunity. An opportunity to build a new, a better democracy. Away from the usual party system, away from the usual party thinking.

It is not for nothing that we have called our ethical guidelines “Common Sense Manifesto”. This crisis has shown us all that this common sense has been lost by all politicians, by all parties. Just think of our Minister of Defense Kramp-Karrenbauer, whose only concern in Germany’s biggest crisis is to buy 45 new jets for the German Armed Forces. That these billions of taxpayers’ money could be spent differently, for example to thousands of small companies who don’t know how to pay their rent tomorrow, doesn’t occur to her. Not to mention how it is for people who have to read something like this at the moment. Unfortunately, this is just one example out of an infinite number that shows how much our politicians don’t even know what the two words common sense actually mean.

“Quite normal” people, on the other hand, agree with many experts around the world and quickly understood that the shutdown decided by politicians will lead to more suffering and more deaths than all the corona viruses of this world together. We must assume millions of dead in poor countries alone. But also in Europe there will be a great increase in suicide rates and more deaths from cancer which were not treated during the corona crisis or were diagnosed too late.

Our politicians, on the other hand, are still maintaining the suspension of our fundamental rights, although it is now clear that they have made a fatal mistake. It has long since ceased to matter whether the reason for sticking to nonsensical measures now is because they do not want to lose voters by admitting mistakes, or because they are simply completely unreasonable in denying the truth. With our citizens’ movement, we are going to begin a process which will end with the word democracy once again standing for what it means in Greek: popular rule! Here are our basic ethical rules:
