It was founded in 2012 and is run by Christian Jung, a former official with the anti-Islam party Die Freiheit (Freedom), who reportedly describes it as an 'alternative medium with a politically incorrect and provocative voice.'[1]
In December 2014 Der Spiegel suggested that it is one of the most prominent websites in the 'nationalist conservative community'.[1]
