Intelligence agencies are behind the doxxing of the right in many countries, but a technique known as “parallel construction” helps obfuscate these doxxing leaks
Germany’s Jan Böhmermann, well known for his far-left comedy late night show, is more or less the Stephen Colbert of Germany, except he is perhaps even more aggressively and nakedly a political activist. During his taxpayer-funded show Neo Magazin Royal on ZDF, he doxxed the right-wing YouTuber “Clownwelt” last week, who had attempted to remain anonymous.

There are a lot of reasons to believe this doxxing was not the work of research performed by Bohnermann’s staff and Zeit, as Bohnermann claims, but outright intelligence agency information fed to his team, or at least someone on his team.
The method Böhmermann claimed for unmasking the identity of “Clownwelt” is a stretch to say the least. First, he claims they obtained a photo from the Telegram channel of Clownwelt, which showcased him wearing a metal band T-shirt and a guitar pick necklace. From there, he claims the following:
“If you now search all available photos of all German metal bands in Germany for a guitarist, you will end up with this hit. A metal guitarist from NRW. There it is, the golden guitar pick on the chain around his neck. But that’s not enough, of course. So we scrutinized his former band, spoke to his friends and relatives, visited his university, checked everything with other sources, double and triple crossed. We even had his voice scientifically analyzed, and then we were very, very sure.
In real life, one of the most important right-wing extremist internet propagandists and AfD stirrup holders is a 29-year-old metal guitarist from a small town in North Rhine-Westphalia called Marc Philipp. He did his A-levels and then, because he simply has a penchant for telling people things, studied to become a teacher at a university in a small town in Lower Saxony.
