Germany: Anti-Nazi Laws Turned Against Those Opposing Fascism

This story makes one's head spin. Peace activists opposing German policy and state support for Ukraine (especially in light of Germany's history with Russia) are now being punished by laws that ostensibly would have been drafted to silence Nazis and Neo-Fascists in the post-war setting.

By opposing German militarism and support for Ukraine, the charges (and now verdict) suggest that the peace activist in question was publicly supporting and encouraging a war of aggression. In a form of tortured logic because he's not supporting Ukraine, he therefore is supporting Russia and now is guilty of encouraging such actions.

The Orwellian character of this story and the connected jurisprudence is further amplified by the fact that the events in questions took place back in June 2022, on the eighty-first anniversary of Barbarossa. These activists are pleading with the public to 'stop' and think about what is happening as the West (through NATO expansion and now proxy war) is effectively seeking to capture and appropriate the same lebensraum lands that Hitler tried to take, and now many in the West (in addition to openly collaborating with WWII-connected fascist elements connected to the Kyiv regime), openly admit:

1. That the Ukraine Conflict is a proxy war.

2. That NATO is at war with Russia.

3. Putin should be assassinated, and

4. That regime change in Russia is the goal as well as the dismantling of the Russian Federation.

Even as these activists plead for a stop to this militarist madness and mass deceit, they are being charged with what is effectively militarist warmongering of the fascist variety. They are being targeted with laws that would have been crafted to stop fascist activism in the streets and other forms of public agitation.

But these people are arguing for peace and an end to the war. The war would not be happening at all if it were not for NATO expansion, and NATO's funding and arming of the conflict.

It's a real eye-opener I think and it demonstrates once more that war abroad always means war on the citizenry at home. Germany is once more under censorship or so it would seem – even as its tanks prepare to engage the Russian army once again. It's also been interesting to note how this story has been suppressed. Mainstream outlets won't cover it and discussions about it are shut down by moderators. If you don't accept the official line about this war – then you're basically reckoned an extremist.

I think we all knew that, but this is a hint of what that's going to mean in the days ahead.
