ermany is a constitutional,
parliamentary democracy with an independent legal system based on the rule
of law. That is what the German government claims and what the German "Basic
Law" spells out. The Problem is that all governments of the former communist
countries used to claim exactly the same thing, and that their constitutions
read nicely too, on paper. The truth, as we all know, was different in those
countries.
So what is the truth about
Germany today? The truth is that in Germany
- folksingers are threatened with imprisonment for singing peaceful
songs;
- a professor who writes his disbelief about certain historical events
in a footnote, written in Latin(!), in a scholarly anthology(!) was prosecuted
and threatened with jail, and the anthology was confiscated and burned;
- a judge, writing a well-founded, but highly controversial book on
historical topics, saw his book confiscated and burned, his pension cut,
and his PhD title withdrawn as a result of this;
- a history teacher was sent to jail for uttering historical dissent
in a private letter to a high-profile personality;
- a professor criticizing internationalism was kicked out of his job,
harassed, prosecuted and driven into suicide;
- a historical dissenter was sent to prison for more than two years
just because he published peaceful, scholarly historical material;
- well-founded, heavily footnoted books on
political and historical topics, authored by academics with plenty of
credentials, were and are being confiscated and burned by court order;
- authors, editors, publishers, printers,
wholesalers, retailers, importers and exporters, warehouses, and customers
buying more than two copies of a certain medium with peaceful, yet
dissenting views on history or politics can be prosecuted for
producing, stocking, importing/exporting, distributing such dissident
material;
- the authorities hide from their citizens, which media are outlawed, so
that one cannot possibly know whether or not one commits a crime when
distributing such media;
- judges are threatened with prosecution because they did not punish
political and historical dissenters harshly enough;
- defense lawyers are prosecuted if they try to introduce evidence
showing that the dissenting historical views of their clients, for which
they are prosecuted, are in fact correct;
- internet providers are forced by law to censor the internet by not
forwarding dissenting political and historical material to their customers;
- the authorities are actually proud of conducting more than 10,000 criminal
prosecutions every year(!) against persons for having committed peaceful "thought crimes",
or more than 100,000 persecutions of peaceful dissenters in ten years!
You never heard of these things! Here you can find the evidence for
it:
