The following video — a song followed by a brief statement — comes from an authentic voice of the German resistance. The singer Melanie Halle and her pianist Till have taken a cherished theatrical tradition and updated it for the 21st century. German citizens are currently groaning under the weight of oppressive state intelligence surveillance — the modern equivalent of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt of the 1940s.

This chanson is the work of the German Identitaires, toned down from the typical screaming political lunacy of the Internet, and far less strident than a street demo. The format, with its custom-written music and lyrics and a lack of identifiable “hate” keywords, will be much harder for YouTube and Facebook to censor. Or so it seems — we’ll see.

Below is a brief article about the song from Politically Incorrect, also translated by Nash Montana:

Varieté Identitaire: A Greeting to the Intelligence Service The identitäre Group Kontrakultur Halle has done it again: After their “AfD Song” which rose to 400,000 views on YouTube, Melanie Halle and her pianist Till have decided to continue the project. Under the name Varieté Identitaire they will henceforward publish political chansons referencing the events in our daily political life. This charming video was prepared in the style of the golden ’20s. The content isn’t just cheap agitprop, but homemade music with an original written text. Both artists are activists in the Identity Movement in Halle. With the new song “à jamais idealiste — a greeting to the intelligence service”, we get a musical reckoning with the intelligence service, which rightfully should be asked why peaceful patriots are under surveillance while Islamic terrorists can roam uncontrolled through our country or, even plan their attacks under the eyes of the Constitution Protection Service.
