Domande di ricerca russa sul web prima degli attacchi

Translation from the German original:

*Russian search queries on the internet before attacks*

There were several attacks in Germany before the Bundestag and European elections. The ZDF program Terra X History has now found possible evidence of Russian knowledge of the perpetrators online.

Shortly before important elections, the European Parliament and the Bundestag elections, attacks shook Germany: the attackers used knives and cars turned into weapons to kill several people.
Was the accumulation and similarity of the incidents really a coincidence?

„The concentration before the elections is evident.”

As chairman of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen, Konstantin von Notz is responsible for monitoring the intelligence services in the Bundestag’s Parliamentary Control Committee.

Knife attack in Mannheim: search requests from Russia

Before a total of four people died in attacks in Aschaffenburg and Munich in the run-up to the Bundestag elections, there was a sensational attack in May 2023, one month before the European elections: In a knife attack in Mannheim, an Afghan killed a police officer and injured, among others, the radical right-wing critic of Islam Michael Stürzenberger.

The possible motives of the three suspected perpetrators, who had a migration background, vary and range from Islamism to psychological problems. The research results of the ZDF documentary “Terra X History: Espionage, Sabotage, Fake News – Putin’s War Against Us” now provide a further investigative approach.
Together with internet profiler Steven Broschart, ZDF has discovered suspicious search queries from Russia in the run-up to the attacks. According to this, the Mannheim knife attack on Islam critic Michael Stürzenberger was already a searched topic before the attack. Four days before the attack, there were apparently search queries from Russia for “terrorist attack in Mannheim”.

Internet profiler: search queries from Russia suggest knowledge of the perpetrator
Other search queries from Putin’s empire in the run-up to the crime were “attack in Germany”, “Michael Stürzenberger attack” or “Michael Stürzenberger stabbed”. This suggests knowledge of the perpetrator. Broschart explains in an interview with Terra X History:

‘We actually find search queries from Russia on the perpetrator in advance, on the perpetrator’s name, and that is already very, very unusual.”

In the run-up to the crime, there were also Russian search queries for webcams on the Mannheim market square – the later crime scene – in order to have a live image, “which is also very, very conspicuous”, adds the internet profiler.

No evidence of Russian complicity

This is not evidence of Russian authorship or complicity. But it is a basis for possible investigative approaches, as recognized by von Notz:

‘I think it’s quite obvious that these digital traces and the evaluation and analysis of these digital traces can be an important building block for getting much closer to the truth, and in that respect it should be included.”

Further anomalies in attacks on infrastructure

There were also anomalies in attacks on critical infrastructure. For example, in the case of the fire at the DHL air freight center in Leipzig in July 2024. German security authorities now also assume that Russia was behind the fire.
The President of the Thuringia State Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Stephan Joachim Kramer, warns in the ZDF program Terra X History:

„Those who deal with this know that we have actually been in a war for a long time, even if this war has not been pronounced.”

Russia’s aim is to “basically destroy Western liberal democracy, the value system”.

I thought Russia funding mass migration to the west and islamic terror attacks as a destabilisation campaign was common knowledge?
