FOIA'ed 'RKI Files' from Germany Show the Fake 'Pandemic'
Now, the question is no longer 'where the sceptics right?' (yes) but 'will there be a reckoning'? (I'm not sure)
Quite a bit has happened this past week, and I’m sure this topic will stay with ‘the critical corners’ of the internet for some time.
Germany’s public health watchdog, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), was forced to disclose some 2,500 pages of previously ‘internal’ documents pertaining to the WHO-declared, so-called ‘Pandemic™’.
Find these files here, and please give kudos to Paul Schreyer and the good people over at Multipolar Magazin who are the forces behind this involuntary release.
Speaking of Paul Schreyer, here’s an interview he did with the alt-radio outlet Kontrafunk on 20 March 2024 (in German). Shout-out to Kontrafunk, to which I also contribute every now and then.
Highlights include, via Prof. Stefan Homburg’s Twitter account:
Over 2,000 pages showing that the 'pandemic' was all fraud. Highlights:
'High health risk' was not derived from data, but a political decision.
'Herd immunity' was seen as a mere narrative.
German-language Twitter has been ablaze with excerpts, many of which are ‘redacted’—who knew that the ‘Heroes of the Pandemic™’ (e.g., Christian Drosten) would be so reluctant to be showered with praise for their deeds.
And while we may merely speculate about what is written in these pages, there are many extremely damning pieces of information as regards virtually everything, ranging from serious adverse effects of the jabs, the entire shenanigans called ‘the pandemic of the unvaccinated’, and school closures.
Here’s a brief ‘role of shame’, followed by the initial reporting by Multipolar Magazin, all in my translation and with emphases added.
The ‘pandemic of the unvaccinated’—was a BIG, FAT, STINKIN’ LIE, via the Twitter handle MeowMuhCow:

More Than a Thousand Passages Redacted: Multipolar Publishes the Original RKI Minutes after their Court-Ordered Release
The protocols of the crisis team of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), which our magazine released, are now being made accessible to everyone. The more than 200 documents have been redacted to a considerable extent by the RKI. We are currently taking legal action against the redactions. We invite all interested journalists to take part in the research.
By Multipolar Magazin, 20 March 2024 [source]
As Multipolar has already reported based on the previously kept secret papers, the heightening of the risk assessment from ‘moderate’ to ‘high’ announced by the RKI in March 2020—on which all lockdown measures and subsequent court rulings are based—was, contrary to what has previously been claimed, not based on a professional assessment of the institute, but on the political instructions of an external actor—whose name is blacked out in the minutes [but we’re called ‘conspiracy nutcases’].
For a further thorough evaluation of the more than 200 protocols with a total volume of over 1,000 pages, the cooperation of additional journalists and researchers is now required. The logs cover the period from January 2020 to April 2021, as our Freedom of Information Act request on which the subsequent lawsuit was based was made in May 2021. The request was:
In accordance with § 1 IFG, Art. 10 ECHR [European Convention on Human Rights], we hereby request, by name and in the attached power of attorney…, access to all information in the form of copies, regardless of its embodiment,
All minutes, agendas, lists of participants and other notes of the RKI Corona Crisis Team since its founding—according to the RKI on January 6th, 2020—until April 30th, 2021;
All documents, notes and correspondence (except drafts) from the competent authority [orig. Behörde] that deal with the planning and convening of the Crisis Team ahead of the first meeting;
In particular, all documents and notes (except drafts) that deal with the change in the risk assessment on March 17, 2020 from ‘moderate’ to ‘high’, including correspondence within the RKI and between the RKI and the Federal Ministry of Health and, if applicable, other authorities the federal government.
After no response and the filing of a lawsuit, a long tug-of-war ensued between our lawyers from the Partsch and Partner law firm and the RKI lawyers from the Raue law firm. After exchanging numerous written submissions from both sides with the Berlin Administrative Court [orig. Verwaltungsgericht], in February 2023 the Administrative Court warned the opposing side to bring the [redaction] processing to an end and announced that it would probably fully uphold the lawsuit because the reasons for not doing so had not yet been explained in detail.
The RKI then presented the protocols in heavily redacted form in April 2023—apparently also to avoid a court ruling. It is estimated that more than a thousand passages were redacted. The Raue law firm sent a PDF document of more than 1,000 pages in which each of these redactions was justified—mostly in formulas.
The redactions go so far that even the simple participation of Health Minister Jens Spahn in a crisis team meeting is sometimes concealed (minutes from February 3, 2020, redaction of the first name on the list of participants), although even the ministry itself recorded his participation at the time (with a photo). Twitter made public [it’s been said before, but ‘the archive’ is the revenge of journalists and historians alike].
In July 2023 we filed a lawsuit against the redactions. The RKI's lawyers insisted to the court in September that it was appropriate, to which our lawyers responded in November. The other side objected again in December. In January 2024, the court finally announced a date for the oral hearing and taking of evidence. This is scheduled for Monday, May 6, 2024 at 9:30 a.m. in the office building of the Berlin Administrative Court, Kirchstraße 7. (docket nu. VG 2 K 278/21)
Our editorial team had originally planned to wait until the court had made a ruling before publishing the minutes. However, after the court date was announced earlier this year, we decided to bring forward publication. We hope that the court will decide in the interests of the greatest possible transparency, so that, at best, the less or no longer redacted minutes will be available in May—which would be seen as an essential step towards further, long-overdue reckoning [orig. Aufarbeitung] of the Corona crisis.
Until then, we invite all interested journalists and researchers to review the material thoroughly and share their findings.
Finally: The process has so far cost our magazine around 15,000 euros. We finance it from small donations from our readers—and are grateful for further support.
Bottom Lines
This is an important development, and kudos to Paul Schreyer and the good people at Multipolar Magazin.
If you can, please share a bit of money for their continued work.
I suppose that any kind of ‘debate’ that once used to be had with reality refuseniks is more or less pointless until and unless these reality refuseniks actually read these pages.
Shout-out to all those who stood their ground and foiled, in their own ways, the world’s biggest agit-prop shitshow of all times.
We do need accountability, though, and badly so, if only to make sure that we as a society don’t encourage deviant, wrong, and, frankly, illegal-unconstitutional activities.
#accountability now.
I never understand what is the basis for redactions, legally? To protect individuals? Obviously you can’t just «redact» whatever you would not like to come out in a FOIA-type request? What’s the difference between «redaction» and «censorship» and «we don’t want the public to know this» - really? Is there a legal difference?
Serious question: who did the blackening, including production of 1000 pages of explanations? Most likely, there is some software (able to "understand" text, like an LLM) behind it: a committee decides about general rules what to blacken, and the software does the heavy lifting.
