". . . In interview after interview I have advocated cooperative effort by the Left and Right in fighting censorship in Germany and Austria.
I proposed such cooperation as a matter of principle and survival for both the Left and the Right in interviews with the German mass circulation magazine "Der Stern," the Austrian Leftist magazine "Profil", Austrian State Radio, the German news weekly "Der Spiegel," the mouth piece of the ultra-Left in Germany, "Die Tageszeitung" (nicknamed TAZ) and French, Italian and Danish TV reporters.
For years, I advocated this conciliatory note in all important interviews - the last time only yesterday, September 10th with Germany's largest computer magazine with a circulation of over 250,000.
All to no avail!
Now all the chickens, as they say, are coming home to roost. Precisely as has happened to the Zündelsite in January of this year, this time the Left-wing magazine "Radikal 154"s home page on a Dutch server XS4AA has become the target of arbitrary German censorship. 3,100 other clients of this server are affected by the German censors' move.
Similarly, the Church of Scientology is under massive attack, suffering the same fate and persecution that many nationalist publishers and Right-wing organizations have suffered for years in Germany - forbidden meetings, forbidden publications, and now canceled bank accounts with various banking institutions. Scientologists, who call themselves a church, are now harassed, demonized, marginalized, persecuted and prosecuted - exactly as has happened for many years to the Right wing.
It should be noted that the Leftists and Scientologists never condemned the harassment of the Right. Now their turn has come. We say in German: "Wer nicht hoeren will, muß fuehlen." Whoever does not want to listen, must feel the repercussions.
Now the once-privileged and politically immune Left, much to their own surprise, will find out for themselves just what it means to be suppressed, forbidden, hunted, abused, barred, censored, banned, kicked out by banks, refused services by publishers, the Post Office etc. as is already happening to Scientologists today and has been the fate of the Right wing for years.
The time has come for the Left and the Right to rethink their positions. Now is the time to forge a strong "alliance of convenience" or an "alliance of the persecuted" and pool our resources and energies in law suits against some of these power-drunk, anti-democratic, dictatorial German prosecutors who fancy themselves as latter-day Torquemadas - prosecuting and persecuting all those who dare to embarrass the crooked politicians in Bonn and who expose the decaying social order, the corruption and hypocrisy of the "in" elite in modern day Germany who are only interested in preserving their power at all cost.
It is time to seek cooperation in the global fight against Dark Age censorship and for intellectual freedom of all thinking people everywhere. It is high time indeed to bring the ideologically beholden, power-drunk and frequently lawless German prosecutors to heel before the Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe and the European Human Rights Commission in Strassbourg in Left and Right lawsuits and other initiatives. Now is the time to set strong precedents that bullying and silencing by prosecutorial terror at the behest of special interest groups can no longer be done in civilized societies behind closed courtroom doors.
I am ready to do my share to forge such an alliance and to join in some meaningful dialogue leading to legal action against the new oppressors of Germany - oppressors who, if they are not now checked and neutralized, will soon be the oppressors of the world. I am ready and willing to talk. You know where you can find me."
