Dear Fellow Patriot!

Even though I should know better, I always think it
can't get any worse. But then, it does get worse! I
know, many say it has to get worse before it gets any
better.

I don't know how the German people feel about that,
but if Secretary of State Otto Schily has his way,
then it got worse for the Germans. Germany already
locks up its people when they question the holocaust
or talk about WWII. Mr. Schily wants more. He has
written an extensive law with three parts and
presented it to the German lawmakers.

Triggered by the complaints of the German Jewish
Congress, that the opening of the gigantic Holocaust
Museum in a year in Berlin would trigger massive
protests, <b>Schily wants to criminalize protests towards
Jewish institutions, holocaust memorials, and
synagogues</b>. [YOU THINK WE EXAGGERATE WHEN WE SAY JEWS BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL TO CRITICIZE, QUESTION OR REFER TO THEM IN ANY WAY THEY HAVEN'T APPROVED? WE DO NOT.] Schily alleges that new laws are necessary
to protect the victims of the holocaust from these
dehumanizing protests. Now that's the first part.

In the second part of Schily's law, rhetoric and talks
that show sympathies towards terrorists and terrorist
organizations should also be illegal.

And the third part in Schily's law will prohibit
neo-Nazi groups and right-wing extremist groups from
gathering anywhere in Germany, even in private homes.

Let's summarize:

1) no more protests towards Jewish institutions

2) no more rhetoric or talk in favor of terrorist and
terrorist groups, including extreme Palestinians
groups.

3) no more gatherings of neo-Nazi groups, right-wing
extremist groups, or groups that are suspect of
terrorism

If the German Congress approves these laws, they would
be the most restrictive freedom of speech, freedom of
expression on the European continent.

Constitutional experts are outraged of Schily's
proposed laws. What are the chances of Schily to get
this through the House? He enjoys the support of all
German Jews and their sympathizers, the Department of
Justice, and several unions in Germany.

Nevertheless, in the past few years, Otto Schily has
tried these kind of dictatorial measures before. With
very little success. The Supreme Court of Germany has
made several rulings that make it clear that
prohibiting protests is unconstitutional. In the year
2000, the high court overruled a court decision from a
lower court and allowed the NPD to protest in Berlin.
The right of peaceful demonstration has been upheld
over and over again by the high court in Germany.

Stay tuned!
