Triumph Of Free Speech: Prof. Sucharit Bhakdi Found NOT GUILTY In Plön Court Of Inciting Hatred Of Jews and Israel, By Rebuking Israel's Tyrannical Covid Gestalt
Triumph Of Free Speech: Prof. Sucharit Bhakdi Found NOT GUILTY In Plön Court Of Inciting Hatred Of Jews and Israel, By Rebuking Israel's Tyrannical Covid Gestalt
"Congratulations to the gentle-hearted Dr. Bhakdi. ASTOUNDING that only those who correctly warned against the shots are being dragged to court. But at least he was acquitted. It’s against the law in Germany to critique Israel? Is that what we learned from WW2? No country is above reproach, and no comment should merit a criminal court trial. Plus: He was entirely correct.

Thanks to everyone who made #IStandWithSucharit go from zero to viral within five days of my launching the campaign! Sucharit is very grateful for all of our support.
One of the most impressive Covid documents I’ve read to date got me to thinking about the tsunami of unexposed Covid scandals. By my count, there are at least 10 … and they are all massive.

They've been successful at using the narrative of questioning Israel in regards to WWII by labeling anyone trying to do so as Holocaust denies or Antisemites (even if those doing the questioning happened to be Jewish), but they've tried to bring it against any dissent against their ulta-progressive agenda more and more, only they seem to be failing, and the people are getting fed up, especially since they have become more aware as the totalitarian/fascist agenda is being exposed.
"Israel" is a Zionist entity. Zionism is a rejection of Jewish law. It isn't a "Jewish" State, but instead a Zionist one. Hence criticism of it, shows not bigotry against Jews - but rather, Zionists. The Neturei Karta are Torah Faithful Jews, who reject Zionism, and "Israel". They're in no way "antisemitic". But like the Palestinians, they're persecuted by the Zionist entity. Since the Palestinians and the Neturei Karta are both Semitic peoples, a strong argument can be made that the Zionist entity, and particularly it's current fascistic Government, are truly antisemites.
The world is heading towards disaster or a transformation, depending on your perspective, and there is no way to stop it. Human nature will not be thwarted.

I remember Prof. Sucharit Bhakdi! I first heard of him and first listened to him -- twice, during the early covid vortex lockdown dayz. He was a guest on someone's (an American's) no-name youtube show, most likely pre- toxic-jab-juice roll-out, or, maybe it was shortly into the toxic-jab-juice roll-out,... but, now I'm not sure which phase of the Psyop we were in -- pre- toxic-jab-juice or post- pre- toxic-jab-juice,... Like I said, it's all hazy, when I try to look back, but, still, IF I had caught one of the episodes wherein he was Rebuking Israel's Tyrannical Covid Gestalt, that would have peaked my ears, that would have woken me up from my light trance, for reasons I could get into later... not to imply that he was never making excellent points and crystallizations otherwise; he was, when I heard him...
Like said, I first heard of him and first listened to him VIA YOUTUBE -- WITH me zoning-out in front of the new- digital television (youtube) haze, IN THE LOCKDOWN HAZE (the three, hand and glove: from the old-world analog television & the zoning-out & the various psyops of those dayz,.. to the now new-fangled digital television & the zoning-out & the covid psyop dayz... it was soothing to zone-out, in front of the digital screen; but there's always a feeling of low-level remorse & anxiety that goes along with the zoning-out in front of the digital screen...
-- the youtube-feed-algo pushed him to me one day, or rather, I should more accurately say pushed to me the no-name show and he happened to be on that show episode (and, when I say no-name, that's not derogatory; sometimes I have a moment like, "who are these people? [the show hosts, the 'content creators'; the dial-into-zoom and press youtube's 'stream live' button production values]". I mean, they do seem sincere, and earnest, in getting the "truth" out... but, like, "what's their day job?" (an American will always fall back to that in his mind at some point),... they certainly don't seem to be doing this for the money, or, rather, i should more accurately maybe say, don't seem to be doing this as a full-time Profession -- which would require compensation... otherwise, they'd be running it like say "SGT Report", running in-show ads to sell stuff,...
...me existentially grasping for meaning at that time (whether Prof. Sucharit Bhakdi had never entered my feed or did), while the digital psyop beacon wouldn't stop blaring... and so, there's Prof. Sucharit Bhakdi on my screen one day, in digital video, on some no-name show... a pirate radio moment, if you will ("three strikes and you're out"), he and the no-name show,... but, without that warm, inviting "white noise" background noise of an analog radio transmission, coming out of say, a pirate-radio ship, off the coast of Sweden... carrying the voice of freedom, through rock music,... can't have a "radio white noise" background noise aesthetic anymore, to go with the message (but that's being disingenuous; there's probably a "radio white noise" digital filter, to run the digital file of the show through, but's nobody's got time for that... so there's, subconsciously, already a sense that no matter how good the "content" of the show is, there's already less-of-a-connection with the listener, out of the gate; yes, by the very nature of the fact that the "radio white noise" background noise aesthetic is not present... that the default digital experience does not come with that...)
...This whole time, I had assumed Prof. Sucharit Bhakdi was an American -- from California, a professor in California, when I first heard him speak, coming through my laptop screen... I'm happy to learn he's been exonerated.
"Inciting Hatred Of Jews and Israel, By Rebuking Israel's Tyrannical Covid Gestalt..."

Celia, there are and have been dozens and dozens of German citizens in prison for speech crimes, ie., criticizing israel, jews, jewish supremacy, holocaust. It would behoove you to learn about that. Why? Because the criminality of such speech is creeping into the United States too, although at this stage of the agenda it is still only in civil form.
I'm talking about the IHRA definition of anti-semitism that has led to its adoption by 30 US states. (IHRA = International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance). Here is what is VERBOTEN SPEECH in those 30 states under IHRA:
1. Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion.
2. Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.
3. Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.
4. Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g. gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust).
5. Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.
6. Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.
7. Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
8. Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
9. Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.
10. Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
11. Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.
"Make no laws whatever concerning speech, and speech will be free; so soon as you make a declaration on paper that speech shall be free, you will have a hundred lawyers proving that 'freedom does not mean abuse, nor liberty license,' and they will define freedom out of existence."
Sorry to preach, but bear with me. There is no such thing as "free speech." Every idle word we speak will be brought under final review and judgement. Even now. If you tell the truth you will be persecuted. If you lie, you will be judged later.
Matt. 12:34-36
O Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. 36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
I know materialists are in an eternal fight with logic.
I remember the day a materialist philosopher said "materialism does not deny incorporealism. There is matter with a body and matter without a body." He was thinking, in part, for "Aristotelian matter," which exists only as a potential. For many materialists, matter is actually "substance," which is the hypostatic union of formless matter and immaterial form. But, for short, everyone says "matter." That adds to the confusion. Not all materialists follow Aristotle.
Do you have a critique about ontological arguments?
On the other hand, some things that "exist" only in imagination, have actual existence. For example, imagine that there is a planet that is 100% made of diamond in the galaxy of Andromeda. The actual existence of that planet does not depend on human beings here actually having proof that it exists. That is, actual material (or substantal) existence does not depend on human perception.
Nota bene: I haven't said that if we can imagine something then it is real. I claim that if something is real, then it's existence is not dependent on our knowledge of it, and, that our imagination can, sometimes, coincide with or approximate to reality.
Real things neither begin to exist or cease to exist according to our imagination. We are not that powerful.
No, I'm not a Buddhist. I like poetry and people developing virtue in any way imaginable.

"All the killers were Christian. ...The nazi system was the consequence of a movement of ideas and followed a strict logic; it did not arise in a void but had its roots deep in a tradition that prophesied it, prepared for it, and brought it to maturity. That tradition was inseparable from the past of Christian, civilized Europe."
—Elie Wiesel
Cited in David Stannard's AMERICAN HOLOCAUST
"Much of Christianity's success in establishing itself as the state religion of Europe was due to the exuberant intolerance of its adherents. In a sense, the faith itself was founded on the idea of war in the spiritual realm—the titanic war of Good against Evil, God against Satan. And within the faith non-belief was equivalent to anti-belief. To tolerate skepticism regarding Christianity's central tenets, therefore, was to diminish in power the belief itself. Non-believers, in sum, were seen as willing the death of the Christian God."

The world would be better without religion—especially Christianity.
I agree. But it is up to us to make decisions. I guess that is the price tag for "free will" and what we call "free speech" As you point out, freedom requires responsibility.
That was the first mistake. Every other thing after that compounded the error.
I've always admired the uncanny ability of Americans to criticize the history and laws of their country from all angles, most of the time with wit and elegance.
This seems a genuine American contribution to intellectual history. The French are witty but not that elegant, and the Germans are elegant but not as witty.
I take it that if these laws are just, they have similar ones covering all other nations and religions being treated with respect and dignity? Or do they not care for the descendants of those who fought in the crusades? ;)
My opinion here; All prophesy in scripture must fulfill for Jesus to return. He will but the devil still tries to thwart. The devil tried to kill line of David to block Christ. Then tried to kill baby's in Bethlehem to prevent Christ. Then killed Christ but it went opposite at what devil expected. Now devil wants to prevent Christ return. He tries to destroy and kill Israel but fails over and over. He tries to take Jerusalem from Israel as that also blocks Christ return. There must be alive in land of Israel 1/3 refined and happily awaiting Christ return. That 1/3 must be both alive and eligible for salvation. Hense the trojan horse called the poke of the special sauce that changes DNA that that person can't have salvation if still alive. Sorry but to long to explain here what happens in ones temple that is desolate by the abominable poke. Well slightly over 2/3 Israelis are poked and a little less than 1/3 savable. Is Christ blocked? Never. Bible says land of israels 1/3. Land of Israel includes part of Jordan Syria Lebanon. Land of isn't just today's boundary's. Also it says people not Jews specifically. Almost half of israels Arabs are unpoked and they also in land of Israel and both scripture and Hebrew univ anthropology dept confirm that majority of the so called Arabs are descended from Jews converted to Islam and Christianity long ago. Enough writing today. Put it all together. It's beautiful how God gets it all to work out in the end.
Living in Israel heard all Dr. Bakhdi said and found it true. Israel's elite and upper crust are wicked and the people of Israel are victims. A leader in Israel proudly wrote a book of Israelis as lab rats. This proud leader reminds of German leaders in ww ii also proud of their works. Israeli sheep are blinder than other nations sheep as they can't fathom betrayers of their own heritage.they forget that humans will be humans. I conclude by saying to drop labels and judge by what people do and then it's clear it's just wheat v tares that grew together and now tares show themselves as the push for total control.
I hope the Jewish people realize how much they’ve been effed over by theses elites, aka Khazarian mafia and take all necessary steps to address it and dissolve it.

Same as it ever was.
Accusing people people of hate speech has been weaponized.
If you criticize Israel and you are not Jewish, you are called an antisemite.
If you are Jewish and criticize Israel,, like Norman Finkelstein,, then you are called a "self-hating Jew".
One can hate Zionism and the brutal crimes committed in its name without hating Jews.

Hense the trojan horse called the poke of the special sauce that changes DNA that that person can't have salvation if still alive. Sorry but to long to explain here what happens in ones temple that is desolate by the abominable poke. Well slightly over 2/3 Israelis are poked and a little less than 1/3 savable. Is Christ blocked? Never. Bible says land of israels 1/3. Land of Israel includes part of Jordan Syria Lebanon. Land of isn't just today's boundary's. Also it says people not Jews specifically. Almost half of israels Arabs are unpoked and they also in land of Israel and both scripture and Hebrew univ anthropology dept confirm that majority of the so called Arabs are descended from Jews converted to Islam and Christianity long ago. Enough writing today. Put it all together. It's beautiful how God gets it all to work out in the end.
Living in Israel heard all Dr. Bakhdi said and found it true. Israel's elite and upper crust are wicked and the people of Israel are victims. A leader in Israel proudly wrote a book of Israelis as lab rats. This proud leader reminds of German leaders in ww ii also proud of their works. Israeli sheep are blinder than other nations sheep as they can't fathom betrayers of their own heritage.they forget that humans will be humans. I conclude by saying to drop labels and judge by what people do and then it's clear it's just wheat v tares that grew together and now tares show themselves as the push for total control.
I hope the Jewish people realize how much they’ve been effed over by theses elites, aka Khazarian mafia and take all necessary steps to address it and dissolve it.
