In the ever increasing global creep toward totalitarianism, some nations are stepping up punishments for their civilians caught using social media for free speech. Now Germany is in the headlines for raiding the homes of those who the government declared had posted “offensive” content on social media.
It hit the fan when it comes to free speech in Germany. Wasn’t this the country that had to fight tooth and nail to free themselves from the grip of Adolf Hitler’s censorship? It’s like some lessons are never learned. In a coordinated campaign across 14 states, the German police raided the homes of 36 people accused of hateful postings over social media, including “threats,” “coercion,” and “incitement to racism.” The goal of these raids was the confiscation of the “hate posters” Internet connection devices, according to a press release from the German federal police (BKA).
In the most ironic statement of the century, Holger Münch, president of the Federal Criminal Police Office, said “The still high incidence of punishable hate posting shows a need for police action. Our free society must not allow a climate of fear, threat, criminal violence, and violence either on the street or on the internet.” So in Germany, a free society means “don’t say things the government doesn’t like, or your home will be raided.”
The raids come as German politicians are debating the draft of a new social media law aimed at cracking down on hate speech, a measure that an array of experts said was unconstitutional at a parliamentary hearing on Monday. The law simply dictates what one is allowed to say or not say on social media. That’s, without a doubt, a free speech violation. Of course, the German government is selling it in the name of “freedom.”
Under German law, social media users are subject to a range of punishments for posting illegal material, including a prison sentence of up to five years for inciting racial hatred. Under the draft statute, networks must offer a readily available complaint process for posts that may amount to threats, hate speech, defamation, or incitement to commit a crime, among other offenses.Social media outlets would have 24 hours to delete “obviously criminal content” and a week to decide on more ambiguous cases. The law, approved by Germany’s cabinet in April, would be enforced with fines of up to $53 million.
But even human rights organizations understand that all speech, even that which is disliked, is considered free speech, and any law against it is a human rights violation.
Human rights, including free expression, aren’t just essential to functioning democracies, but to safe and secure societies. While controversial, protecting the expression of even the most disfavored views is how we ensure that free speech is protected for all, including the most marginalized groups. –Human Rights First
Some of the posts were cruel in nature, but still free speech. According to Abendzeitung, police arrived at one man’s house in Munich at 6 am and confiscated two of his cell phones. The 23-year-old was accused of commenting that gays should hang themselves underneath a Facebook photo of two men kissing. Others were accused of making “anti-government” statements.
It looks like Germany will have to relearn all the lessons they have failed. It wasn’t so long ago that they allowed the government enough power that it exterminated millions of people. But relearning these lessons will be costly at best and disastrous at worst.

Such is the evil ZNWO!
Killed over 100 million last century :-/
That’s just a sneaker.
So that changes the concept of totalitarianism? Without an emoticon I have to think you are what? trying to be the comment police?
And with a closed profile you hide from others in your cryptic comment cave?
Azwhole. That was a joke.
Oh, and the name calling, something you learned in grammar school?
-But you just got to admit it,they are just so cute in their little swat kill black getups, what a career choice, for totally deranged psycopaths
With guaranteed low IQ’s. Who could write a screenplay this bizarre??
This is the country, with scarily increasing global power, that is leading that NA*O! Whilst ZioNazi-controlled NA*O is trying to conquer under so-called defending ‘freedom and peace’, all the world major 5 oceans, towards the ZNWO ! So scary!
Watch the film Psywar – How they create Hate, to see just how brainwashed you are.

Jeez, my article just dissappeared here! Tnx (sarcastically-speaking) for criminalizing my anti-ISra*l free speech, u hypocrite APost!
exterminating millions of people. hmm.

This article misrepresents the facts. In Germany, incitement to hatred (Volksverhetzung) is defined by § 130 Section 1 of the Criminal Code.
For any hate speech to be punishable as Volksverhetzung, the law requires that said speech be “qualified for disturbing public peace” either by inciting “hatred against parts of the populace” or calling for “acts of violence or despotism against them”, or by attacking “the human dignity of others by reviling, maliciously making contemptible or slandering parts of the populace”.
Similar laws exist in other countries, such as the UK, where incitement to ethnic or racial hatred is a criminal offense under Sections 17–29 of the Public Order Act 1986.
The German anti-incitement law was instituted precisely to ensure that the fanaticism of racial vilification would not rear its ugly head again.
We know that these ZioNaz*s, usually abuse such laws at the current anti-Islam century – for continuous demonisation and persecution, of the Musl*ms, of course! Or anyone who is anti-IS-ra*l!
still violates free speech, even if you don’t like what I have to say, I have an Ineludible right to say it
Only in the USA
I’ll bet you’d also support those who blow the whistle on secret torture programs – in the name not only of compassion and a sense of righteousness but also in the name of free speech and exposing the truth.
John Kiriakou never imagined he would … be called, a whistleblower for speaking out publicly against his CIA employer over a shadowy torture program he’s come to believe amounts to the most nefarious of violations of international law, a heinous crime against humanity, and an affront to otherwise-touted American values of freedom and justice. – But that’s what happened.
And I’ll also bet you’d set yourself well apart from the rest of the somnambulant American public [who] hardly blinked [at the revelation of same], and who displayed an apathy astonishing in its naked inability to see the humanness in neighbors not situated next door — an apathy gifted by the Pentagon so war can continue propping up the defense-industry laden economy, regardless of the destruction wrought.

What about the Zionist laws against “revisionist” history. It is a crime to
say the holocaust wasn’t true or any part of it. There are authors in jail
for trying to tell what they believe is the truth. These anti-holocaust laws
exist in Germany, France and Austria. The Zionist agents even tried to
get a similar law passed in the U.S. These people are not “disturbing the
public peace,” they are rankling the Zionists and dispelling their mythical
history. What could be the REAL reason for these laws? If revisionism is
so ridiculous and wrong, what is the worry, their arguments should easily
be proven as false. Are the Zionists and German government trying to tell
us that criticism of the holocaust is hate speech, or is there another agenda?
Liberalism has laid the ground work for Totalitarianism. Germany has allowed political correctness and diversity drive them to these kind of acts. Too bad.
Oh get off! Stop blaming multiculturalism, for the evils of ZioNa*i fascism there, or anywhere else for that matter! Liberalism has nothing to do with multiculturalism!
Liberalism and Totalitarianism (two sides of the same coin actually), began with the Zio-infiltrated Illuminati and Maso*ic movement there; with the original intention, to destroy Catholicism in the Western world (across the Holy Roman Empire at that time; and later on, any religion) and hence, any moral boundaries between good and evil.
Multiculturalism is simply another failed concept dreamed up by liberals
Jeez, then, how about handing back Hawaii and the whole US, to their rightful owners, the Indigenous Hawaiians/Native Americans?!
Want a bigger picture of what’s happening? Read the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, produced in the late 19th century. It’s a pretty clear Talmudic manuscript.
The Protocols of Zion reads nearly word for word like the Extreme Jesuit Oath of Induction written centuries before. Is it a coincidence? There are none. The movement to call the NWO Zionists is a psyop, and the entire Zionist movement was created by Jesuits. Zionism, Marxism, Communism, Atheism, all the isms were carefully crafted by the owners of the world, and they are NOT Zionist Jews as everyone so wants to believe. This is only part of the distraction and deflection operations to keep people from the truth.
Zionists are Crypto Jews and while they do run the financial branch of the Vatican out of City of London, a Vatican subsidiary, it is the Vatican that sits on the capstone of the NWO and declares it owns the entire world, including us. This goes all the way back in Roman history to Charlemagne the Frankist King to and first Holy Roman Emperor, hundreds of years before Israel was even a state. The Talmud, Quran, and many other religions’ holy books are all evidence that every religion has been infiltrated by these Unholy Roman globalist psychopaths.
The Protocols played a big part of the Jesuit, or Communist take over of Russia. After the Bolsheviks took over and killed the Russian Orthodox leaders, purged Russia of Protestants, and set up the gulag system, the Jesuits behind it all, could openly invite the Jesuits to take over. The Jesuits were given formal re-entry into Russia in 1922, after the Bolshevik Revolution and Civil War. The Russian College was erected in Rome in 1929, so they could prepare Russian Jesuits to rule Russia. And that’s what they’ve done. The Jesuit General (the Black Pope) rules through the KGB, just like they rule America through the CIA and the FBI.
The Protocols outline this. Remember, the Protocols were discovered in Russia, and translated by an Englishman, Marsden. It was the huge gulag system, the huge concentration camp system, that gave the Jesuits practice to do this in Europe, and the plan is to do it SOON in America. The big thing was, that using the Protocols, the Jesuits were able to blame it all on the Jews. A demonic masterpiece. Blaming the Jews was their great accomplishment that continues to serve the Jesuit purposes so well today.
The Jesuits have been kicked out of 83 countries in the past, but now, they’re everywhere. They’ve infiltrated all our nations, all our churches, and all our academic organizations and institutions, calling the political shots for the entire world. Pope Francis is the very first EVER Jesuit Pope. Please research this despicable cult of power-hungry liars, dissemblers and murderers, as it is they that are to blame for the mess the world is in today (via all their agents, alphabet gangs, political and legal systems, etc.).
The Jesuits are the ones in control of the government. They’re the ones behind professional sports. The owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers is a Knight of Malta. The owner of the Detroit Lions is a Knight of Malta. All your top owners of these ball clubs, for the most part, are Knights of Malta, getting the people whooped up in this hoopla over games and sports, while they’re busy creating a tyranny. So, that was one of the things in the Protocols—that they would create “amusements”.
Another one they used was Walt Disney, a 33rd degree Freemason with his Disneyworld, and Disneyland. They create all of these amusements and games and pastimes to get the people drunk with pleasure, while they’re busy overthrowing the Protestant or Biblical form of government. Revelation 5 pretty much explains all of this.
Jesuits set up and control the Knights of Malta. The High Knights are good, dear brothers with the High Mafia Dons—the Gambinos, the Lucchese, the Columbos, all of them. And Jesuits control Hollywood, not the Jews. It is only Jews who are front-men, that is the Jesuit way.
Oh, that’s right, I forgot. The jooos are just victims.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Non-sequitur much? (That’s Latin, not Hebrew) Another fine example of someone getting off on being hoisted with his own petard. It just doesn’t get any better than this~ 😉
This action by the German government is the surest sign that German infatuation
with fascism and Nazism still lingers. Germany is the laboratory for oppression and
if it flies in Germany, a country that many uninformed conservatives believe is “liberal,”
it will be instituted here in AmeriKKKa. Draconian laws against free speech have been
passed in Britain, France, and Germany. Many of these same laws are waiting in the
pipeline in the U.S. much the way the Patriot Act was waiting. What most people do
not know is that the Patriot Act was written five years (1996) before 9/11.
The notion that the Patriot Act, which was signed on October 26, 2001, and which
was thousands of pages long, was crafted and signed in a mere 45 days stretches
credulity. How gullible are the American people? Do we even know who these speed
writers were who penned these thousands of pages?
The fact that the act was written five years before the incident that supposedly
prompted the Patriot Act’s creation is more evidence that 9/11 was in the works for
many years.
And a note to all the misbegotten and confused people calling themselves “conservatives.”
There are no liberal governments, there are no liberal main stream media outlets, and finally,
real liberals can be counted on your fingers. Neoliberalism has nothing to do with real
liberalism.
We are in the clutches of fascist serial killers. Making believe they are liberals
because Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and mouth-foaming Jeanine Pirro told you so,
doesn’t make it true. The “liberal” meme is a shibboleth to keep conservatives hyped up
and purposely divided from their fellow Americans. The divide and conquer strategy
is alive and well and always works well on uninformed minds.
One dam good post. thank you
German government propaganda is pretending it’s a free country, but it never was. Especially not after it fell under British and American rule after 1945.

Israel’s new Dolphin II-class submarines are the largest undersea craft built in Germany since the Second World War, and when they reach active service they’re expected to take their place among the world’s most effective subs.
Three submarines are in various stages of construction at ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems in Kiel, Germany – the TANIN, RAHAV, and a yet-to-be-named third ship.
“Germany is the laboratory for oppression”
You are allowing emotion or prejudice get in your way of thinking. Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin, America for 100 years, etc. have done far more then the cliche’ “Nazi’s” you know. Darpa comes up with stuff like how to give people heart attacks at 100 feet.
“The fact that the act was written five years before the incident”
Whose “fact” is that? I knew it was written pre event but five years?
Using terms like liberal or conservative, etc. are part of the divide and conquer you seem to be against isn’t it? Critical thinking humans is what our goal should be IMO as anything that labels one to some specific group or political party, etc. is limiting one’s choices.
In other words can one be a pro choice conservative, or a anti big government liberal, etc. It is like asking someone to put on a uniform and never go against it.
..Nazies zio pigs ! sick country !! its gfood them third worlders are invading your shithole nazie country !
This comment may sound a little off topic, but it involves what I think is another aspect of denying Legitimate Free Speech to serve Vested Interests, especially given that Proper Climate Policies are Needed for the Environment, and this comment explains the context of that.
I am referring to how I used to be able to find Several Websites that referred to the Ancient Historian Pliny and his writings on North Africa that was part of the Roman Empire, and which at that time was a Rain Forest.
Humans are Responsible for Deforestation which affects the climate, and an Example of that was when the Roman Empire Deforested the once Tropical Rain Forest of Northern Africa over a period of 200 years, as their Historians recorded the reasons of what caused the change in the climate of the Sahara region, and created the Sahara Desert, and it had Nothing to do with the carbon dioxide levels in the Atmosphere.
I have heard some Scientists wrongly say that the Sahara Desert came into existence because of the Earth’s orbital shift some 11,000 years ago, but other Regions of the World on the same Lines of Latitude as the Sahara region are Forests.
Ancient Roman Historians say that the Roman Empire took over the Rain Forest of North Africa some 2,200 years ago and made it a Desert, and I used to be able to find Several references to this on the Internet, and they were quotes by Scholars, and I did manage to find a few Websites that mention it, and perhaps there is Censoring from Vested Interests, and that Website is at https://www.saharaforestproject.com/biomimicry/ , but it took me some time to do that, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deforestation_during_the_Roman_period , and at https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/00/Roman_Empire_Trajan_117AD.png , and that Desertification of North Africa which the Roman Empire was Responsible spread Southwards to other Forested Regions of the Sahara and it became the Sahara Desert, and People have built or planted The Green Line of Africa to Prevent the Desert expanding to Most of Africa, and the levels of carbon dioxide in the Atmosphere have Nothing to do with why the large Sahara Desert is there, and History and Logic Prove what is written in the next paragraph, because the Roman Empire would Not spend Money to occupy a Desert and Vast areas of Sand Dunes.
The matter I was referring to was where Scholars said that the Roman Empire’s Historian named Pliny said that he marveled at the abundance of forests and the variety of animals in North Africa, and that the Emperor’s armies set about clearing the land to establish farms, and that for the next 200 years North Africa supplied the Roman Empire with half a million tons of grain a year, but over the years, deforestation, salinisation, and over exploitation of the land took its toll, and crop productivity dropped and the climate changed because of that.
I think it is Logical to accept the accounts of Pliny and other Historians of the Roman Empire as an Accurate account of what happened with North Africa and the Sahara region, because the Roman Empire was Responsible for much Deforestation in the territories of the Roman Empire, and these Lying Scientists do Not want People to Know that Deforestation is what changed the Climate of North Africa and the Sahara, and that had the trees been there, then North Africa and the Sahara would be a Tropical Rain Forest, with the Climate of a Tropical Rain Forest, and that it had Nothing to do with carbon dioxide levels in the Atmosphere, and Fossil Fuels are the Only way to have 5 times as much carbon dioxide that is Needed in the Atmosphere for plants and crops.
There has been much debate regarding the topic of climate change, and while the climate does change, and there are Human causes for that.
There are also causes that are Not the result of what Humans are doing on the Earth, and for which Humans have No control over those things.
There are Many People who Know that the so called Paris Climate Agreement in its current form, would Only harm the Earth, and would Never to do anything positive or good for the Earth’s Climate or Environment.
That agreement would have cost America 3 Trillion Dollars, and it was intended as a Slush Fund for certain Establishment People including others like Bribed and Corrupt Lying environmentalists who would Secretly Receive Money or High Salaried jobs over the years, and the Congress and the Senate have supported Policies that have become a Slush Fund for the Establishment Puppets who are Not Business People, but whose first Priority Obviously is to Serve their own Insatiable Greed before they Serve the Public, and the Shadow Regime Prefers these types of People, while some of the Business People Types in the Congress and the Senate have their own Policies that give them their Slush Fund such as Taxation Law to add to their Abundance, and that is the Long Time Cushy Arrangement that the Establishment Democrats and the Establishment Republicans have, and this is Why there are Americans who think that if they want a Political Revolution, then they would Need their own Political Party.
The first thing that Needs to be Understood is that that the Climate does change for several reasons, and there are things that Humans are Responsible for and can Control, such as Deforestation and Reforestation, which does affect the Climate, and then there are other things such as HAARP and Geo Engineering, and I am Not a skeptic that climate does vary for various reasons.
However, I do Not think that carbon dioxide is a cause for that, and there are Many PhD Scientists who say that essentially, and given All of the other Factors, then carbon dioxide does Not affect the Climate.
There are other things that affect the Climate and for which Humans have No control over these things.
These are Solar Cycles, Solar System Cycles when Saturn and Jupiter are near each other and their combined Gravity pulls the Earth further from the Sun with less Sunlight reaching the Earth and causing Global Cooling, and at times of lower Solar Activity there is a weaker Solar Magnetic Field, and this allows More cosmic rays in the Atmosphere which creates More Clouds, and the amount of Clouds affects the Climate, because Clouds create Rain and they reflect heat back into space in the daytime, and Clouds hinder the heat from going into space at night, and these things affect the Climate at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cycle , and at http://www.solarsystemscope.com/ and at http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Henrik_Svensmark .
I have done my own Research on climate change, and I have found because of my Research on this matter that carbon dioxide is Not a problem.
It Needs to be mentioned that just because carbon dioxide is Not a problem, and that Much More carbon dioxide is Needed, then that does Not mean that there are No environmental issues associated with fossil fuels, and it has been Shown in Oklahoma that fracking for gas causes Earthquakes, and this is Why Many Americans oppose fracking for gas for that reason and for the reason that it pollutes the Water and the Environment, but the carbon dioxide it produces does Not affect the climate.
It Should also be Understood that alternative energy also impacts the Environment, and it is Not as clean and green and as efficient as is claimed by some People.
There are Many Scientists who believe that there will be a Mini Ice Age in the next few years, and that the Earth currently Needs 5 times as much carbon dioxide as there is today, and regardless of what the climate is, then that is how much carbon dioxide is Needed for plants and crops.
If a Mini Ice Age does occur as Many Scientists believe, then a cooler ocean will cause more carbon dioxide to dissolve into the ocean, and there will be Less carbon dioxide in the Atmosphere for plants and crops, and the Vital Need for More carbon dioxide Needs to be mentioned in debates regarding alternative energy and Fossil Fuels, along with the Environmental Impact of each type of Energy.
There are Many Scientists who have Researched this matter, and they have Proven that carbon dioxide should Not be mentioned as a cause that affects the climate.
The reason that carbon dioxide was Slandered by those with Vested Interests with alternative energy, is because it is the Only thing that distinguishes alternative energy from Fossil Fuels, while Greater Greenhouse such as Water Vapor are Ignored, because we Need Water Vapor for Rain, and we Cannot control Water Vapor, and there is currently Only 400 parts per million of carbon dioxide in the Atmosphere, and that is one twenty fifth of 1 % in the Atmosphere, and they have 10,000 parts per million of carbon dioxide in Submarines, with No problems, and that is 1 % of that atmosphere of Submarines.
We have seen how there are some Human causes that affects the climate, and there are some causes that affect the climate that Humans have No control over those things.
Another thing that we have Noticed is that there is virtually little to No mention of Deforestation or Reforestation, HAARP, and Geo Engineering, which are Human causes that affect the Climate, but they Only speak against Innocent carbon dioxide and the Much Needed carbon dioxide that would Prevent Global Famines, and they do this Because they have Financial Interests for that, and that is Why carbon dioxide should Not be Slandered, because carbon dioxide is a Natural Substance, and it is a Vital Plant Nutrient, and it does Not affect the climate.
We have seen photos of polar bears clinging onto a small chunk of ice that broke off a large ice berg, and it Alleged that the Ice Caps are melting, but polar bears can swim for hundreds of miles and for over a week, and those polar bears are probably having a rest, and People can Google those things.
We have been told that coral reefs are affected because of warmer oceans, but it could be that it is caused by polluted water that comes from the Land, or perhaps those with Vested Interests who are the Masters of every type of Lie and Trickery have put harmful chemicals on those corals so that they can Wrongly blame in on the level of carbon dioxide in the Atmosphere so that they can sell their alternative energy, but carbon dioxide is Not the cause of that.
People who want alternative energy to be off the grid, and independent of attempts to make America a Dictatorship, and they do Not mind paying more for their energy for that reason, then that is up to them, but carbon dioxide does Not affect the Climate and much More carbon dioxide is Needed in the Atmosphere.
I do Not claim to be an Expert, even though there are Many Honest and Good Experts in this field, and I think that 50 % of the Earth’s Desert Should be Reforested for the both the Environment and for more Stable Climate, and that is what I have concluded with my Research.
This briefly explains what I think is a more correct and a much better understanding of this matter.
