... wußten schon die Machthaber in »1984«. Die Machthaber von 2022 wissen es nicht weniger, wie Paul Craig Roberts im folgenden Artikel nachweist:

The German Government Has Proposed a Law to Criminalize Truth

Deutsche Welle, a German international broadcaster, financed by who they don’t say, reports that the German government is going to criminalize denying war crimes.

Neither Deutsche Welle nor the German government reveals who it is who gets to determine the unchallengeable war crimes.

Germany gave in to the Jewish lobbies and long ago criminalized “Holocaust denial.”  I have wondered why.  If the Holocaust is true, it can stand on the facts and remain undamaged by unsupported denials.  What the criminalization of inquiry and debate does is to prevent us from knowing the true dimension and history of the Holocaust. My understanding from reading is that Austria, some other European countries and Canada do not permit any examination of the Holocaust. We are simply told that it is true, but it can’t be examined, and that is the end of it.

The Germans have suffered substantially from declared and unexamined “truths.”  In World War I Germany was accused of its soldiers bayoneting  Belgian babies. (In the 21st century a version of this falsehood was repeated against Iraqi troops in Kuwait.) The propaganda created enormous hatred for Germany.  These decades later after the normalization of mothers bayoneting their own babies, it might not have the same effect.  But what if it had been legislated a criminal act to investigate whether German soldiers murdered Belgian babies?  The propaganda would rule.

Da Wissen — sieht man von banalem »Wissen« der Sorte »gebranntes Kind scheut das Feuer« ab — immer durch Diskussionsprozesse entsteht, bedeutet die strafrechtliche Unterbindung von Diskussionen die Etablierung von Unwissen: und die Unwissenheit von Untertanen ist die entscheidendste Stärke der Machthaber. Wer dumm gehalten wird, den kann man auch arm halten — und seine Macht und seinen Profit steigern. Roberts trifft den Nagel auf den Kopf, wenn er schließt:

The Western world in the past rested on open debate and presentation of evidence to decide truth.  Those days are behind us. Today truth is declared from above and ensconced in official narratives that cannot be challenged.  Truth is now “misinformation.”
