Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

Many of you will remember Hans Schmidt, a naturalized American, who was imprisoned for five months in Germany in 1995 for something that he wrote and mailed from American soil - the worst of which were four words describing the minions of media and politics in Germany as "Jew- and Freemason-infested..."

 

Schmidt tells us now in GANPAC Brief, July 1998, that ever more horrendous things are happening to "Free Speech" in the "freest democracy on earth" - as the current German regime likes to call itself, and as we have been assured by the victors, over and over, since 1945 since the so-called "liberators" took over media, government and education in Germany.

 

Here is a small but telling sample:

 

JUNGE FREIHEIT, one of the very few patriotic publications still in existence, a paper which must daily fear closure and confiscation because it might have printed something not to the liking of the Bonn dictators, had in its April 10th, 1998 issue an editorial, from which the following sentences were excerpted:

 

"Last year, no fewer than 7.949 criminal investigations because of (alleged) "incitement to hate" were begun in Germany, of which but 781 had been the result of violence. (Ingrid's sidebar: To our knowledge, not one of these violent incidents were caused by a Revisionist!) Thousands of years of prison time were proscribed, and thousands of lives were disrupted or destroyed. At the moment, there are more persons in German jails as a result of forbidden political activities than had been incarcerated in the Communist jails of the former "DDR" during the last year of its existence.

 

When someone wants to discover what kind of crime most of these convicts had committed, then one is told that "they have denied something which may not be denied"; they belittled something one must take seriously; they did not believe some (statistical) figures which may not be questioned; they had described as a small detail of history some historical events which are supposed to be regarded as the singularly worst crime in mankind's history.

 

Yet, in spite of the already large number of people having thusly been persecuted and prosecuted, there seems no end to all of this. Hundreds of surveillance institutions have been installed in order to discover ever more alleged "haters" and report them to the authorities. Even highly-paid professors at universities are engaged in this game, and they are putting together volumes of lists of those who fall under the supposition that they are unbelievers, so that they may receive the special treatment meted out to such criminals.

 

In Germany, a new form of punishment has been developed, namely, the threat of being under surveillance. At the very time when in other nations the secret police are being dismantled, and all over the world secret files of governments are being opened, the intimidation of being watched is being used as a form of terror with intolerable results. The Bonn secret police uses this method often, and openly announces concerning an intransigent free-thinker that this person is under surveillance, and we have a file on him. This means, in practice, that this person has one foot in the jail already.

 

The poor soul is neither convicted, often not even under official investigation, but his rights as a citizen are damaged, and his social interaction is seriously hampered. But the media take the right to literally step on the culprit, and soon no decent German burgher (or even a dog) will accept even a piece of bread from him.

 

Often, the person so treated will become more intransigent, and will deny or belittle even more than before. He may even publicly announce his disbelief, or make the famous small detail of history even smaller."

 

This has been precisely my observation. Many if not all of our finest Revisionist champions have been the ones the system attacked and inflicted considerable damage to name and livelihood. Most of us started out with lukewarm conviction - and ". . . look at us today!" Certainly true in my case! I still haven't finished reading "Mein Kampf" - but believe me I will, before long! :)

Thought for the Day:

 

"JUNGE FREIHEIT is only still alive because it lent iself to making gratuitous attacks on me. They thought they could buy themselves safety - I told them: "But only so long...'"
