Thanks to the pollical right wing of the Supreme Court, Herr Abbott, the Reich Commander of Texas has just introduced the New Stasi Security State, a reminder of its parent organization, the secret police agency of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). The Stasi was one of the most hated and feared institutions of the East German communist government.

The Stasi developed out of the internal security and police apparatus established in the Soviet zone of occupation in Germany after World War II. The law establishing the ministry, whose forerunner was the Kommissariat 5 (modeled along the lines of the Soviet KGB), was passed by the East German legislature on February 8, 1950, four months after the establishment of the German Democratic Republic. The Stasi, whose formal role was not defined in the legislation, was responsible for both domestic political surveillance and foreign espionage, and it was overseen by the ruling Socialist Unity Party.  Its chief responsibilities were counterintelligence against Western (now just call them  Democratic) agents .

Under Herr Abbott,  the Stasi State of Texas is becoming a highly effective secret police organization. Within its new bounty hunting policy, a $10,00 payoff for any citizen booby-trapping its fellow citizens by infiltrating every institution of society and every aspect of the private life, including even intimate personal and familial relationships. It will accomplish this goal both through its official apparatus and through a vast network of informants and unofficial collaborators (inoffizielle Mitarbeiter), to spy on and denounce colleagues, friends, neighbors, and even family members. With any luck, the United Stasi of Texas will gain 500,000 to 2,000,000 collaborators and maintain files on approximately  29,145,505 of its citizens.

The new Texas Stasi, is now ready to infiltrate every walk of Texas life, suppress political opposition, abort justice and cause the imprisonment of hundreds of thousands of citizens, proving itself to be one of the most powerful secret police and espionage services in the world. Stay tuned!
