Germany narrowly thwarted a coup plot

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-63885028

Twenty-five people have been arrested in raids across Germany on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the government.

The group of far-right and ex-military figures are said to have prepared for a "Day X" to storm the Reichstag parliament building and seize power.

A man named as Heinrich XIII, from an old aristocratic family, is alleged to have been central to their plans.

According to federal prosecutors, he is one of two alleged ringleaders among those arrested across 11 German states.

The plotters are said to include members of the extremist Reichsbürger [Citizens of the Reich] movement, which has long been in the sights of German police over violent attacks and racist and antisemitic conspiracy theories. They also refuse to recognise the modern German state.

Other suspects came from the QAnon movement who believe their country is in the hands of a mythical "deep state" involving secret powers pulling the political strings.
QAnon has come a long way. Prince Heinrich XIII was going to be installed as the monarch. I'm not sure about that name. His father was Heinrich I and his son is Heinrich XXVIII. There seem to be gaps. But his great-grandfather was Heinrich XXVII so who knows what is going on there.

They said the Prince, along with the other individuals detained in sweeping raids across Germany this morning, formed a 'terrorist organisation with the goal of overturning the existing state order in Germany and replacing it with their own form of state, which was already in the course of being founded.'

Some of the group's members had made 'concrete preparations' to storm Parliament with a small armed group, and had laid out plans to form a whole new government - or 'council - to replace the current German Bundestag, prosecutors said.

They even alleged that Heinrich XIII had contacted Russian officials with the aim of negotiating a new order in the country once the German government was overthrown.
Kind of a bizarro Bolshevik Revolution.

25 people really thought they were going to take over an entire country? And they thought everyone was just going to be cool with it? lol
