Hanoi! (Und Saigon!). As the mysteriously dead German journalist Manuel Ochsenreiter used to say.
According to the Washington Post, ever the tool of extremist groups, Martin Walser died July 26, 2023, in Űberlingen, State of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The 96-year-old novelist, essayist, and playwright was a contemporary of German writers Heinrich Bőll and Gűnter Grass. BUT: the Post noted after his receipt of the German Book Trade Peace Prize: “ He made international news with his acceptance speech, in which he confronted a current of thought that called for a continual reckoning with the Nazi murder of 6 million Jews.” Of course, as the paper said “…he stoked controversy by challenging the ongoing societal atonement for Nazi crimes…”
Walser fiercely laid into the Holocaust Industry and its constant pillorying of the evil Germans. Surprisingly, the journal, Washington’s own “paper of record”, printed some of these remarks, straight and to the point!
Herr Walser said:
“To many survivors of the Holocaust, and to people who work to preserve its history through memorials, monuments, literature, film and art, the importance of memory only increases as the Holocaust recedes ever deeper into the past.
[Mr. Walser] “however, spoke for another current in German thought when he protested that “we are confronted all the time with our guilt” and that Auschwitz, the largest of the Nazi killing centers, had become “a permanent exhibit of our shame.”
He objected to what he described as the “instrumentalization of Auschwitz,” in which memory-keeping for the Holocaust, he said, becomes an “empty ritual” often used for political purposes. Auschwitz, he argued, should not be “a moral cudgel or just a compulsory exercise.”
Even a half-century after the end of World War II, he complained, when many people in Germany had not even been alive during the war, anyone who suggested that “Germans have become a normal people now, an ordinary society” was met with wariness…”
Martin Walser
That’s certainly true, as my personal experience showed. When I was first at the American Consulate General in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg’s capital, I hired a young German for our local staff. He once remarked that he was outraged that he should be held personally accountable for what his grandfather might have done.
YET, the Post wrote “Ignatz Bubis, the leader of Germany’s Jewish community, denounced what he described as Mr. Walser’s “moral arson.”
Ignatz Bubis
“Don’t you understand,” the Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel challenged Mr. Walser, “that you have opened a door that others can push through, others who follow completely different political views and are dangerous in a completely different way?”
Elie Wiesel
Right! Zionists can’t abide completely different political views. They are dangerous! And Walser was a Roman Catholic, once a heretical Hebrew sect!
Do y’all want more background?
Here’s Some Ugly History. In 1979, Hollywood cranked out a series, Holocaust. The BBC (state-run news) described it as the story of “a fictional Jewish family - Josef Weiss, a successful Berlin doctor, and his wife and children - charting their tragic journey from bourgeois affluence to the gas chambers.”
Jews in the United State became outraged that German television didn’t see any need to run the program. They and their running dogs brought such pressure to bear on Germany’s government, that it broadcast the series, dubbed into the Teutonic tongue—with a special 90-minue addition at the end of each installment that put the whole thing into context.
Surprisingly, the BBC tried to be sort of even-handed, noting “But German commentators slammed the series, calling it a kitsch melodramatic soap opera that trivialized the Shoah (Holocaust)…
Left-wingers accused US broadcasters of cynically exploiting Nazi crimes for the sake of TV ratings. Right-wing nationalists complained that German war victims were being forgotten…”
I was in Stuttgart at the time the series was forced to be aired.
Since I had to work at the Consulate early the next morning, I skipped all the late evening transmissions, although I wondered at Germany’s submission to external pressure. With my cocktail parties and contacts, I picked up first-person information about Germany and Jews and the war. For example, I met and dined with Robert Marx, a German Jew who later became an American citizen. Nevertheless, he had been in the camps—and had numbers tattooed on his arm. And he worked at a German company near Stuttgart. Then there was Herr Weill from Weil der Stadt. Another German Jew (whose father had fought for Germany in the Imperial Army during World War I), he left his homeland in the 1930s, joined the French Foreign Legion, and battled his way back into his homeland. Thereafter, he became a judge and spent many hours with soldiers of the German Army, the Bundeswehr. Somehow, these fellows belie the propaganda formulated in Tel Aviv.
Amazingly, after my return to Washington, D.C. in 1980, I ran across the series on local television. I could see why the German TV stations rejected it. All the Jews spoke good ol’ California Amurrican while the wicked Krauts all had accents so thick you needed subtitles to get past their “English.”
And Today? The United States of America has again pressed Germany to return to its unlovely past and move forward against the Russian Federation, successor state to the U.S.S.R. Germany is sending weapons, including its so-called best tanks, to the Nazified Ukrainian “government” in its war against Russia. Germany is pumping its taxpayers’ money into supporting the highly-undemocratic and murderous Zelensky regime. The last time Adolf and the Boys went up against the Rus, it ended badly for them, their country, and their people.
CONCLUSION. The Federal Republic of Germany is still not a sovereign state. The foregoing samples clearly show that the Zionists are running the place. Every time Jews/Zionists want special treatment, they get it—by propaganda or by government fiat.
Here’s one example from Deutsche Welle (DW, Germany’s external news service): “Jews have lived in the Rhine region since the days of the Roman Empire. Germany's Jewish history must be remembered and shared by all Germans, not just those in the Jewish community, DW's Christoph Strack writes.” (In 2021).
And, of course, German Jews are eternal victims (at least in American eyes). The New York City Jewish paper, the Algemeiner, wrote in 2022:
“Jewish life in Germany is “under massive threat” amid a resurgence of white nationalism and antisemitic hate crimes, a European Jewish leader warned on Wednesday.
Josef Schuster, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, sounded the alarm following the release of a government report finding that far-right extremism threatened German democracy.
“The new report on the protection of the constitution shows that Jewish life in Germany continues to be massively threatened.” Schuster said. “The greatest danger comes from the right-wing extremist scene.”
Schuster’s warning comes as the German federal government prepares the Democracy Promotion Act, a legislative effort to fight racial and antisemitic bigotry. The government has also enacted a series of additional social programs meant to integrate citizens most at risk of radicalization.
Germany’s Jewish community of nearly 100,000 has disproportionately felt the effects of conspiracies and fear mongering in recent years. In 2021 German Jews were the target of 3,028 antisemitic hate crimes involving verbal abuse and assault, including a 12 percent increase in the number of antisemitic crimes committed by right-wing extremists. Nearly half of all incidents recorded, which rose 30% from the previous year, occurred during Israel’s 2021 operation in Gaza.” [“Operation” means murder, war crimes, and human rights violations directed at the native Palestinians.]
YET, YET, YET, certain stories of German free speech penalties are covered up or not addressed widely. Because they offend Zionists. As Prof. Anthony James Hall remarked on Substack ((2) Addressing "The" Holocaust in an Era of Heightened Danger of Nuclear Holocaust (substack.com)):
The focus of the other video, is my conversation with Alfred Schaefer. Alfred was ordered to report on August 3 to a German prison in order to serve jail time for articulating what was deemed to be unacceptable interpretations of history during the era when Adolph Hitler’s National Socialist Workers Party ruled Germany. Giuseppe Vafanculo is the host of the “Perfect Triangle” show linked to below. Giuseppe arranged the conversation, produced the video, and contributed significantly to its spoken and visual contents.
Alfred has already served three years in a German prison for thinking and articulating in ways judged to violate German law. His sister, Monika Schaefer, also served a ten-month sentence in Germany for speaking her mind on the forbidden subjects. In July of 2018 The Ontario Civil Liberties Association condemned the process brought against Monika. THE OCL Executive Director, Joseph Hickey, wrote about “an apparent unwillingness of Canada to come to the aid of a Canadian political prisoner in Germany, who is charged using a German criminal law that does not exist in Canada and that is categorically contrary to international law.”
I got caught up in this history of the charge against Monika when I travelled with her to Germany in 2016 to spend three weeks with Alfred and his wife in a town on the outskirts of Munich. The four living Schaefer siblings are all Canadian citizens raised in Canada after their parents emigrated from Germany.
The Schaefers
[Background: A Canadian newspaper wrote: “A Jasper, Alta., {Alberta, Canada} woman who denied the Holocaust in at least one video posted on YouTube is on trial at a criminal courthouse in Munich.
Monika Schaefer, 59, and her 63-year-old German-Canadian brother, Alfred Schaefer, who lives near Munich, are being tried together for Volksverhetzung, which officially translates in English from the German Criminal Code as "incitement to hatred," said court spokesperson Florian Gliwitzky in an email to CBC News on Friday.
"Both are under suspicion, that they published video clips, in which they denied the genocide of Jews in the Holocaust during World War II," Gliwitzky said.
The siblings' trial began Monday this week and continued Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. It is scheduled to continue July 12, 13 and 16.
If found guilty, the German sentence for the crime ranges from a fine up to five years in prison.”]
