AUF1 founder Stefan Magnet said the news channel, which is known for opposing COVID mandates and the Great Reset, has had eight of its bank accounts in Germany and Austria shut down within weeks.
(LifeSiteNews) — One of the largest German-speaking alternative media stations has been de-banked in Austria and Germany, according to its editor-in-chief.
AUF1 editor-in-chief Stefan Magnet said in a video message that the organization had eight of its bank accounts in Germany and Austria shut down within weeks.
“So, we are forced to go into exile with our donations bank account to Viktor Orban’s Hungary,” Magnet stated. “It is unpleasant, but we have no other choice because this is a coordinated campaign of destruction against Auf1 and our information work.”
AUF1 is an anti-globalist online TV and news station founded by Magnet in 2021 in Austria during the height of the COVID crisis. In short order, AUF1 garnered substantial reach and viewership in the German-speaking market. Financed by donations, AUF1has grown its enterprise despite numerous attacks and attempts to shut down its operation.
“From compulsory masks to compulsory vaccination, transhumanism, gender terror, climate hysteria and the Great Reset: topics like these get us going,” AUF1 states on its website. “We work with idealism and passion. And we report unsparingly and critically and take care to remain independent.”
Magnet stressed in his video statement that the organization did not act illegally in any way.
“We employ tax advisors and lawyers who scrutinize our financial conduct to ensure that we do not provide the system with anything to attack,” he said.
“We were already a painful thorn in the side of the political and media cartel during the coronavirus era, and now that the Great Reset is being prepared and implemented at breathtaking speed on many levels, we are even more in their way,” the founder of AUF1 stated.
“The attacks are manifold,” he continued. “At first, we were defamed, people tried to send us informers to denounce us, to push us into the ‘Reichsbürger’ corner, to punt us as right-wing extremists.”
“But lies and slander did not help. On the contrary, our viewers and donors remained loyal to us. Then came criminal proceedings, lawsuits, media proceedings.”
“That didn’t stop us either,” Magnet said. “And now they are also trying to cut us off from our supporters by canceling our accounts at short intervals with the aim of annoying and upsetting our donors. At some point, the circus regarding bank details that have to be corrected is supposed to become too much for them until they stop donating.”
“The globalists use their direct connections in the control centers of the banking industry to get rid of annoying opponents at the drop of a hat.”

Magnet insinuated that sources within the banks confirmed political involvement “from the very top” in shutting down the bank accounts.
“Of course, it is the Deep State that realizes that its political puppets cannot win elections so easily, despite propaganda lies, when there are media like Auf1 that ensure that more and more people are aware of the underlying facts and context,” Magnet said.
“We broadcast, you donate. Together, we have the chance to fight the system with what it fears most. Cohesion and courage. Free media create a free world,” he concluded.
