May 8th Liberation Day!

by Irene Eckert 76 years ago our ancestors joyfully celebrated the end of the war. However, not everyone in Germany or abroad understood that it was above all the Russians who had defeated Hitler and his fascist regime. But it still remains a historical fact that the Russians under Soviet rule had done the heavy lifting in combating the most powerful and well equipped army of those days, the German Wehrmacht and her allies. It was due to the Soviet people and their collective effort in support of the Red Army that the Second atrocious War of a sad century ended on May 8th in 1945. The mythical landing in the Normandie unveiled When the US army landed on the shores of Normandie the battle in the East had already been decided. The Germans had been defeated in Stalingrad. The memory of mankind is brief. After the victory the brainwashing machinery continued. Therefore most people never understood the satanic nature of the international forces that had brought fascism to power and its evil minded twin sister WAR that came with it . The former victims of the NS regime, the democratic intelligentsia in exile, the political opponents who had survived concentration camps did understand this. They felt the liberation most profoundly but did not only applaud the end of the fighting prematurely. They knew the battle had not ended yet. Many of those who saw the bad moon rising and spoke out against the danger of a new - potentially nuclear - war, like Bert Brecht, happened to die a premature death. Many of those opposing the re-armament of West-Germany and its joining NATO fiercely, ended up in jail again under the Adenauer regime. The Communist party was banned in the FRG until 1968 and even then their members were refused access to public services. Age old tactics of subjugation to be overcome Today the real old anti-fascist fighters, those who had survived prison or NAZI concentration camps, those in the know are almost all dead by now. New generations seem to have lost the tools of theoretical and historical analyses, tools that could help them understand the forces of evil and their mechanisms. These mechanisms have survived for centuries, they keep breading and breading. It is, however, such knowledge, such awareness of the age old tactics which is dearly needed. Knowledge and awareness can show us out of the mess we have gotten ourselves into. But the knowledge is there, it is available. It can be picked up and used against the perpetrators. But we do have to make sure who the perpetrators are. They are human beings, they have name and address and they are few. These irresponsible actors leading humanity to the brink of self destruction must be pointed out. We, the people, the overall majority are responsible for neglect of duty, if we are looking the other side. Taking interest in politics is key "If we are not interested in politics this does not mean that politics doesn't take interest in us". What Perikles says centuries ago is still true. We will become victims of the decisions others will make. We will be forced into slavery, again and again if we are not on the alert. This time humanity altogether is at stake. The Nazis have exposed how far evil doers are prepared to go in the name of profit. The situation has become extremely serious again. Some analysts, like the Swiss Peter König say, World War III has already begun. But this time the theatre of war is different for some nations, more complicated to see through. It may also have escaped us that others have been slaughtered for years and years, for the WWII has never ended. It all began with in August 1945 against Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The horror scenario was continued in 1950 against Korea, 1953 against Vietnam, against Afghanistan in 2001, against Iraq in 1991/ 2003, against Jugoslavia in 1999, against Lebanon /Gaza 2006 ff., against Libya 2011, against Sudan for years and years, against Syria since 2012, against Yemen since 215. We name here the most prominent spectacles of this never ending theatre of ‚conflict‘ . Other than Wikipedia and the US dominated MSM wants it, none of the above mentioned were "civil wars". Their true name is imperialist aggression Postmodern ‚conflicts‘ are media wars in the first place. This time fascism comes gradually and on slippers. The Western world over people have been deprived of their enshrined citizens right without even fully realizing yet, what is being done to them. Those in the driver seat have redefine the meaning of citizen's or even human rights. In their understanding these undeniable rights every individual is born with, according to them can be abolished in the name of ‚Public Health‘ for the alleged good of everybody. This false view must be challenged. We have seen event 9/11. It supposedly led to combatting terrorism at home. I certainly t opened the scenario for unlimited and undeclared wars. We have seen Event 201. It provided the smoke screen for skipping democracy. For the holy sake of public health every single citizen right has been crushed. A virus that affects only a tiny portion of the population seriously, a virus against which there are cures beyond vaccination, serves as a pretext for Draconian measures. Before, the likes was not even known during wartime periods. And yet, in spite of strong creative and peaceful citizen resistance, the majority has been manoeuvered into consent. The Pretexts of Public Health and Climate Threats This is so, in spite of the fact that millions of lives of people the world over are at stake due to the allegedly live saving policy decisions. We seem to be nailed between a rock and a hard place. And the next threatening act of the drama is on the horizon. More equally Draconian measure are under way. This time to allegedly save us from Climate Change. Our children have been seduced into boycotting school according to Greta's tune for almost a year. This was a prelude only. Now they are forcibly prevented from attending school in order to be protected against influenza. Behind the smoke screen of such protectionism more of the same is being prepared. In reality all this is done to sustain the Western hegemon, otherwise called imperialism from falling apart. Those in power are in fact without a clue. They truly believe they can prevent their downfall in putting the rest of the world in custody. Such bizarre ideas will certainly not protect the perpetrators for going under. On the contrary, they are actively participating in a process of self destruction. At the same time they are preparing to destroy those nations who offer alternatives. Those who show ways out of the dangerous paths are under attack. But this will never come to fruition. The sooner more people will comprehend, the better for everybody, including those strangely distorted individuals on the top. All healing depends on the number of people who will quickly become aware of the sheer fact that the Emperor Has No Clothes. Every single individual can contribute to help others understand the insanity of the present self destructive political decisions. These decisions are not only contradictory in themselves, they are directed against life. They even have the potential to lead us to a thermonuclear war scenario by accident. We have to understand the earnest of the situation. We must recognise that a dictatorship under the guise of public health measures is a form fascism. We have to understand that depriving future generations from available sources of energy is also an act of grave injustice that amounts to genocide. We have to understand that forging enemy images eventually leads to war. BUT: Citizens the world over have spoken. They call for Peace - Freedom and Democracy !!! They pledge: In commemoration of World War II we will do everything to end the NATO aggressions against Russia, China, Iran and befriended nations! We demand an end to sanctions that are a from of warfare! We will defend free speech! We say NO to any form of hate speech! We resist neofascist organisations, reserve armies of the ruling class even, if they hide in the uniform of Anti-fascists. We strongly reject the age old stratagem of „divide et impera“ . They will not divide us nor will they conquer the world! We will address the issue of infiltrated agents in our pro-democracy and pro-people’s rights defence movements! We call on individuals in all legal parties, especially in the various shades of Red-Green parties to help understand each other "Whom the Bell Tolls" and what is presently at stake. It concerns everybody, them, too. Such Citizen's Calls are incompatible with right wing policies Might does not make Right The new citizen movements, civil rights movements are incorrectly labeled "populist", „right wing“ or even „fascist“. This is false. This is bullshit. Stigmatising those who speak out in defence of democracy, for ‚people's' power as "populists" makes sense only for those violators of people's rights. Right wing historically stands for violence, for repression, for depriving citizens of their basic constitutionally guaranteed rights. Right wing has always stood for the power of the few over the many. But might never makes right. Democracy is incompatible with elitist power. Defending civil rights and commitment against War historically belonged to the LEFT. The original West-German "Basic Law" - de facto the German constitution - is a good document in so far as it provides the legal groundwork for good governance and good citizenship. Not only does it guarantee basic democratic rights, it obliges our political leaders to uphold International Law and to keep PEACE (Article 25/ 26) and it includes the right to resistance against those who try to violate this law in case that other means fail (Article 20,4). The Communist Max Reimann, Member of West German Parliament, Member of the "Parliamentary Council" who drafted the Basic Law once said in 1949: „We Communists object to that Law, because it implies the partition of Germany, but the day will come when we will defend the violation of this very Law.“ And so they did. But today nobody seems to remember this legacy. Does the Left (Die LINKE, SPD, DGB, DKP) not realise what is being played today? The political LEFT and the civil rights movement When Left politicians questioned the new democratic movement, a movement that quickly developed in spring 2020, challenging the abolition of basic civil rights, dictated under the pretext of Public Health, this was a true tragedy. Whereas the new movement functioned within the framework of the Basic Law (once declared provisional by the Western allies in 1949) and came out out in its defence, the entire Left turned their back on the movement and supported the government. Most of the LEFT are in support of and even participate in the aggressive and often violent posture of the alleged „ANTIFAS“ who are similar to the SA hords of Herrn Hitler's buddy Röhm. Recently the lawyer and activist Markus Haintz was aggressed by a young 'Antifa' woman (!) with green hair in Kassel (Germany) on March 20th 2021. The police arrested him, not her. There is ample video footage from various angles to proof who was the aggressor. The journalist Boris Reitschuster was attacked by „Antifas“ while filming the people's protest, commemorating one year of Corona restrictions. The IT-entrepreneur Michael Ballweg, founder of the young civil rights movement from Stuttgart in Germany is being suspicioned by the Left. How can parties who only criticise government measures for being too weak, too late, not comprehensive enough dare to question the motives of the courageous civil rights activists. We, the people We, the people still have a choice. No political affiliation gives anybody the right to question the motives of dissenting minds, of free thinkers, of opponents to government decisions. On the contrary the Left is invited to participate and to come out in defence of those who criticise the unheard of repressive government measures and the police state. The message of May 8th Liberation Day unites all peace and democracy loving people: Never again fascism, never again war. Friendship with Russia, China, Cuba, Iran, Syria! Let there be Peace on Earth and let it happen through us.
