American Free Press: Germany exists in juridical limbo

[zgrams at zgrams.zundelsite.org]

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

For those who are interested in the apparent legal limbo in Germany, 
where impostors posing as judges, state prosecutors and so on - at 
least so it seems! - hold my kidnapped husband and two other writers 
of note in detention, here is some additional information dug up by a 
journalist of the American Free Press:

Germany: 58 Years of US Occupation



Christopher Bollyn



POTSDAM, Germany - The Allied occupation of Germany began 58 years 
ago this month and in the eyes of many Germans has not yet ended. 
Foreign armies are still based on German soil and Europe's largest 
and most prosperous "democracy" still lacks a constitution and a 
peace treaty putting a formal end to the Second World War.



The reunified German nation, considered a modern European democracy, 
has no constitution other than the temporary Basic Law (Grundgesetz) 
originally written in 1948, under the guidance of the U.S. military 
occupation forces and originally meant only to apply to the western 
parts of Germany under U.S. control.



The Basic Law was removed at the request of former Secretary of State 
James Baker at a Paris conference of the Allied powers and the two 
former German states on July 17, 1990. The two German states were 
legally abolished at this conference. As a result of these changes, 
the Basic Law does not legally apply to the reunified German state, 
according to some legal experts.



In any case, the Basic Law is incomplete and contradictory and 
article 139 states that the numerous Allied occupation laws and 
proclamations remain in effect. The Basic Law has never been ratified 
by a vote of the people.



The fact that the flawed and temporary Basic Law serves as Germany's 
de facto constitution is unacceptable to Wolfgang Gerhard Günter 
Ebel, Germany's provisional Reichskanzler. Ebel heads the provisional 
government that claims to be the legal successor to the Second German 
Reich, which was replaced by Adolf Hitler's illegal Third Reich 
(1933-45).



On 5 June 1945, the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force 
(SHAEF) accepted Germany's declaration of defeat and quickly moved to 
recognize the legitimacy of the Zweite Deutsche Reich (Second German 
Reich), which was claimed to have been illegally displaced by 
Hitler's Third Reich.



The SHAEF laws underpinned a treaty between the occupation 
authorities and the Second German Reich, in which the latter was 
invested with full administrative rights and governmental sovereignty 
throughout most of Berlin and in all of the German states. After WWII 
ended, a parallel state, founded by ambitious lawyers and Zionist 
activists and still known as the Federal Republic of Germany (BRD), 
competed with the Second German Reich for legitimacy



Following the collapse of the DDR, East Germany's Democratic 
Republic, a treaty known as the "2 Plus 4" confirmed that only the 
Second German Reich, now led by Reichskanzler (Prime Minister) Dr 
Wolfgang Gerhard Guenter Ebel, represented the legitimate German 
State. In July 1990, the Secretary of the US Department of State, 
James Baker, confirmed in writing to German Chancellor Helmut Kohl 
that the BRD had come to the end of its lifetime and should be 
dissolved. From that moment on, the United Nations destroyed all of 
its stationery and placards that carried the words "Federal Republic 
of Germany" or BRD and replaced them with use of the broader term 
"Germany" in lieu of the anticipated "German Reich".



Almost everyone in diplomatic circles around the world expected the 
re-emergent German Reich to take over where the BRD had left off. Yet 
the government in Bonn, and later in Berlin, continued and still 
continues to act and behave as if nothing really happened: a sort of 
disembodied ghost that has no idea that its corpse perished many 
years ago.



Despite this highly unusual situation, the Second German Reich 
continues to issue its own passports and driving licenses. Over the 
last two or three years there has been a sharp increase in the number 
of motorists who have been acquitted for speeding or parking 
offences, simply on the strength of their having produced a German 
Reich driving license.



The illegal German government in Berlin is so worried about the 
publicity, it has leaned heavily on newspapers not to report on such 
matters and it has instructed judges to dismiss cases where a 
defendant is likely to prove that his citizenship of the German Reich 
permits him not to recognize the BRD and its courts as legitimate 
administrative constructs. They are horrified at the publicity each 
of these cases brings.



Right now, "Germany rests on the 2nd Reich" and on the constitution 
of the Weimar Republic created on August 11, 1919, Wolfgang Gerhard 
Günter Ebel told AFP. This is the only legal constitution for 
Germany, according to Ebel, until a peace treaty is signed. According 
to the provisional government, the Final Settlement of Sept. 12, 1990 
is not valid because it was negotiated and signed by the foreign 
ministers of the two German states, the BRD and the DDR, both of 
which legally ceased to exist after the Paris conference of July 17, 
1990.



"The German government is illegal," Ebel told AFP, "and what they do 
has no basis in law." Asked how it could be that the German people 
are unaware of this situation, Ebel said: "The German media is still 
under the control of the Allies. The entire media is controlled.



"The Second World War has not ended, because a peace treaty has not 
been signed between Germany and the Allies," " Ebel says, "The peace 
contract is the most important thing that we need and want." Because 
there is no formal peace treaty between Germany and the Allies, 
headed by the United States, German sovereignty is compromised. 
"Until we have a peace treaty, Germany is a colony of the United 
States."



Some 80,000 U.S. military personnel are permanently based in Germany 
and Britain also continues to base troops and military equipment in 
the western German zone they formerly occupied. It is not uncommon to 
see British tanks on the streets of the area near Münster in 
Westphalia.



U.S. occupation laws handed down by the Supreme Headquarter Allied 
Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) are still in effect, Ebel said. The first 
law, Proclamation No. 1, making General Dwight D. Eisenhower supreme 
authority in the areas under U.S. control was signed on Feb. 13, 
1944. Allied authorities have informed Ebel that these SHAEF laws 
will remain in effect for 60 years from the date of signing and apply 
to all of Europe.



Calls to the U.S. State Department in Washington and the U.S. Embassy 
in Berlin concerning the validity of SHAEF laws and U.S. occupation 
proclamations in Germany were not returned.



"When there is a peace treaty - when the wound is healed - many 
things will change," Ebel says, "not only for Germany, but for the 
whole world.



"The United Nations is also provisional - if there is a peace treaty 
between Germany and the Allies [primarily the United States] - the UN 
will cease to exist as we know it," Ebel said. The UN organization 
was founded in 1945 and originated with the 26 nations that had 
joined the anti-Nazi coalition in 1942. By 1944 the coalition had 
grown to include 47 nations.



The UN Charter contains "enemy state clauses" [Articles 53 and 107], 
which were established because of Germany and name it as the "enemy 
state."



"The Bundesrepublik Deutschland, (the former West German state), is 
not the legal successor or inheritor of the Second German Reich," 
according to Ebel. For this reason, a legal peace treaty cannot be 
signed by the current German government in Berlin, he said.



"Until the real government is established and voted by the people," 
Ebel said, the provisional government is necessary to "fulfill the 
role of the legal German government."



The Allies have authorized Ebel to serve as head of the provisional 
government, he says. A civil servant with the German railroad, Ebel 
was born in Berlin in 1939 and is a citizen of the German Reich, 
having never held citizenship of either German state that resulted 
from the Second World War. Berlin was a separate zone and "has never 
been part of the BRD or DDR," Ebel said.



Ebel was first appointed by the U.S. Military Court in Berlin to 
serve as Rechtskonsulent for Prussia on Sept. 23, 1980.



On Jan. 9, 1984, the U.S. State Department in Berlin appointed Ebel 
to serve as the head of the German railroad (Reichsbahn) in West 
Berlin.



Exactly forty years after the German military (Wehrmacht) 
surrendered, on May 8, 1985, Ebel was appointed as Transportation 
Minister for the German Reich by the U.S. High Commissioner in 
Germany, who he says was then U.S. Ambassador to West Germany (BRD) 
Richard Burt.



Finally, on Sept. 27, 2000, Ebel was appointed chancellor of the 
German Reich (Reichskanzler) by Ernst Matscheko, a representative of 
the U.S. Dept. of Justice. Matscheko reportedly asked Ebel to name a 
Reichspräsident and a special ambassador to the United Nations.

The U.S. Embassy in Berlin will neither confirm nor deny the claims 
made by Ebel, for which he presents documents as evidence. A 
spokesman at the U.S. Embassy told AFP: "We are not responsible for 
what they [the Reich's government] claim."
