A couple of hours ago I listened to the 40-minute-odd Füllmich gave in German to a Swiss TV station, Bittel. Previously I had listened to Viviane's accusations. I am as fluent in German and English as Reiner is. In the past both have sent me personal emails. Füllmich's explanations are coherent and convincing. Viviane has a long history of being chaotic. I fear, Celia, you have here been opinionated. The board of their party, Die Basis, has demanded Viviane's resignation.

Thank you for breaking this story, Celia, as I have been trying to get to the bottom of this ever since Reiner was silently evicted from the committee.

If this tarnishes the heroic work of the CIC, it would be absolutely devastating as what they have amassed is of historic importance.

I had the honor of being interviewed by them in July (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/a-mostly-peaceful-depopulation). While I cannot speak to the allegations, my gut instinct based on my interactions with them is that Reiner has been wrongfully accused.

Reiner was highly engaged, inquisitive, and carefully taking notes during our interview. Viviane was so preoccupied and outright rude that a commenter at one post of the video joked about trying to figure out why she hated me and suggested it was my hat 😹 I tried not to take it personally because her behavior made no sense, and yet it was odd that she was nice to the other guests both before and after.

While I was writing this comment, I think I figured it out! At the beginning of my presentation, I thanked the committee for their work and specifically praised a speech Reiner gave to a London protest. I think it must have been my praise of Reiner that pissed Viviane off and caused her to behave that way!

Wolfgang was a gentleman and seems level-headed. I would be curious to get his take. I do hope this can be resolved peaceably as too much is at stake.
