According to stage expert Tobias Ginsburg, the possible withdrawal of the initiator of “lateral thinking” Michael Ballweg in no way means the end of the movement. “Think outside the box” is behind the demonstrations against the crown protection measures. Ginsburg told »Watson« that the network of crown deniers is larger than Ballweg. “Even if Ballweg were to disappear, there are a number of money- and power-hungry speculators and conspiracy ideologues waiting at their starting blocks.”
Ballweg had announced in a video message on Thursday that it would no longer initially record any major manifestations of “lateral thinking.” With this winter retreat, he claimed, he was supposed to gather strength for the spring. “For this reason, I will not register any more major demonstrations.” He also recommends it to other “lateral thinking” groups in Germany. Ballweg also called for acceptance of the ban previously imposed on the large demonstration scheduled for December 30 in Berlin.
The Vice President of the Greens in the Bundestag, Konstantin von Notz, expressed his amusement on Twitter on Friday at Ballweg’s announcement: “Meetings for the purpose of promoting the safety of Covid-19 are apparently currently too dangerous.”
The religious scholar and anti-Semitism commissioner of the Baden-Württemberg state government, Michael Blume, speculates on Twitter that Ballweg is trying to “pile up his loot.”
Ballweg and the “lateral thinking” movement had come under increasing pressure in recent weeks. Meanwhile, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution of Baden-Württemberg is watching the Stuttgart-based group “lateral thinking 711”, which is considered the core of the national movement. The State Office attributes to the Reich citizen milieu several key actors who deny the existence of the Federal Republic and deny the democratic and constitutional structures.
Founder Ballweg believes that the above justification for the observation is invalid. It is mainly based on hearsay and is an attempt to intimidate.
