A journalist in Germany has been sentenced to seven months in prison on probation as well as a fine of almost sixty percent of his annual income. His crime? Posting a meme.
Yes really.
Worse still, it was a meme mocking the German government for eroding freedom of speech.
Die Welt reports that a district court in Bavaria handed the sentence to Deutschland-Kurier editor David Bendels for posting an image on social media of German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser holding a sign
The sign was digitally altered to read “I hate freedom of speech.”

The ruling was confirmed Monday, finding that the journalist had committed “defamation directed against people in political life.”
Bendels claims that no one has ever been sentenced to prison for such an action in Germany, and that the harsh punishment comes after Faeser personally intervened.
Bendels stated “We will not accept this verdict and will defend ourselves against it using all legal means,” adding “The Deutschland-Kurier and I personally will continue the just struggle for freedom of the press and freedom of expression, which is indispensable for the continued existence of democracy in Germany, resolutely, stably and with all consistency.”
Commenting on the ruling, regional leader of the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in Thuringia, Björn Höcke urged “German politicians, responsible for the deindustrialization of our country and tearing its citizens apart from each other made Germany a laughingstock of the world.”
“They armor themselves and attack freedom of speech again and again, ending our constitutional democracy,” Höcke further asserted.
“We have been warned by Donald Trump and Elon Musk: The enemies of freedom are found within the EU-governments!” he emphasised.
As we have previously highlighted, this insane authoritarian crack down on people posting memes is now commonplace in Germany.

MIGRANT CRIME
Hundreds of Turkish barbershops targeted by police in crackdown on money laundering and modern slavery
Story by Jacob Phillips
Hundreds of barbershops have been targeted by police in a three-week crackdown on money laundering and modern slavery.
Officers visited 265 cash-intensive premises across England and Wales, including nail salons and vape shops, with 10 shops shut down and further closures expected, the National Crime Agency (NCA) said. Operation Machinize targeted the migrant venues in an effort to tackle “high street crime” and prevent criminal gangs from using cash-intensive businesses to conceal the proceeds of crime, according to the NCA.
The law enforcement agency said the crackdown resulted in 35 arrests, and 97 individuals suspected to be victims of modern slavery were placed under police protection.
“We know cash-intensive businesses are used as fronts for money laundering, facilitating some of the highest harm and highest impact offending in the UK,” said Rachael Herbert, deputy director of the National Economic Crime Centre at the NCA.
“We have seen links to drug trafficking and distribution, organised immigration crime, modern slavery and human trafficking, prostitution firearms, and the sale of illicit drugs tobacco and vapes.
“Operation Machinize targeted barbershops and other high street businesses being used as cover for a whole range of criminality, all across the country.”

The EU was a Dictatorship and you knew this just by watching their Parliament: after the discussion a prepared statement was read out, everything having been already decided
It looks as if the German culture is only concerned about appearances and their politicians having some shallow respect, like China when it destroyed millions of electric scooters just because they make China look like a poor country
Is “Wills” also there… trundling around in his tank? 😏

First of all- one should not be surprized that such things happen in a country which elects as a foreing minister 360 degrees Hannah Leah Barenboim .
I don’t know where exactly Bendels stood, but my guess is he, as most german journalists “stood with “Israel”. The AfD Bjorn Hocke expressed worries about both AfD and Bendels – i wish them both more of such sentences.
The global headquarters of the BBC in central London, has an architectural feature – one that wouldn’t look out of place in a seaside arcade.
Above its main entrance, Eric Gill’s LBGT 1931 sculpture, has now been encased in a transparent box, meaning that it looks like something you put in 20p to see some puppets dancing. On such a landmark building – built from Portland stone, it immediately draws the eye. The sculpture’s restoration has cost the BBC half a million pounds, the equivalent of 2,865 TV Licenses, much of which has gone on the protective casing and its mounting on the side of a Grade II-listed building. The reason for the protection is something the Corporation wants to hide up, and to stop people throwing paint stones and beer cans at
This is because Gill – was revealed in a 1989 biography to have sexually abused his two daughters and had an incestuous relationship with his sister. he had a deep predelictiction for young boy scouts He also committed bestiality with the family dog, and stray dogs were often taken home and abused by him
Not the sort of man whose work any of us would be proud to have over our front door. Little wonder that the piece – and, indeed, all of Gill’s work on public display – have been seen in a different light since these appalling revelations. the BBC sculpture depicts the spirit boy as half-naked with his arms open wide. It has become a target for vandals with a good head for heights as well as a sense of righteous anger on behalf of Gill’s victims. here has long been a debate whether the work should be removed altogether, yet the BBC has accepted that Prospero and Ariel – which had been carved on-site – is part of its Rothschild heritage, but also adds that Gill’s homosexual appalling behaviour is not condoned
Problem is, Jews & Commies don’t believe in ‘free speech’. Why would they? Since it exposes their crimes, lies, insanity, conspiracies & lunacy.
Article states: “…the continued existence of democracy in Germany’. Morons still don’t comprehend they live in a Jewocracy, not a ‘democracy’.
As our guru stated:
“If you haven’t figured it out yet, the ‘democracy’ game ended when Hitler & the Nazis won via ‘democracy’ in 1933. Its been rigged ever since to prevent whites from winning again.” –Nico X

Please re-post this the next time comment diarrhea on the Elon Don happens. He don’t have to disband NATO, just change the A to U! Not to offend, but when did Germany convert to politician insanity?
we all knew this didnt we ?
” kimi badenough says micheal gove is a daft poof”
Stop lying. There is no German government. There hasn’t been since the end of the war. There is only a Jew government, doing what Jews do to their critics. They’ll do it here and they’ll do it to you, when you let them, which you will. It’s all just a matter of time.
“The more political power the Jew accrues, the more their Talmudic tyranny & persecution of their enemies mushrooms.” –Nico X
when is this fella going to shave and stop looking like a ragamuffin??

ASP (Anglo Saxon Party) is the only UK political party that promises to deport all wogs. Join your local unit.
The communists used ‘free speech’ to their advantage & have ruined peoples’ minds as well as nations for 300 years.
Where truth abounds, ‘freedom of speech’ is not needed.
To the person who wrote “We know cash-intensive businesses are used as fronts for money laundering, facilitating some of the highest harm and highest impact offending in the UK,” said Rachael Herbert, deputy director of the National Economic Crime Centre at the NCA.
Of course ,so a CBDC will fix it!

Loved the carl jones quiz

“German politicians, responsible for the deindustrialization of our country and tearing its citizens apart from each other made Germany a laughingstock of the world. We have been warned by Donald Trump and Elon Musk: The enemies of freedom are found within the EU-governments!”
German pollytikans? Does Hoecke include himself and his Zionist friendly AFD too? Just asking.
“WE” have been warned alright that demockcrazy is now the new gulag of capitalistic communism having amalgamated straight forward into full blown Judaism. Any critics will be burned at Jerman patriotic stakes especially when mentioning anything that does not confirm with Deutsche Koscherness and of course a messed up Bloodline that does not contain enough East European Jewishness in ze Jerman culture of gefillte fisch.
Who is that dopey “guy” who came up with Jerman Truth and is asking for $hekels?
Even more heat in the European baking oven “conservative salvation” in Europe (and the UK) on an American model. The worse it gets, the closer salvation gets. It follows (later, for younger and future generations) a conservative (without sex change and other perversions!!!) fusion of bodies and brains with technology.
What to say of the hate math.
Excellent comments from Ghost Who Walks and jo pointing out that Germany hasn’t had a “government” of its own for some time and it’s been a Jewocracy since the end of WWII….a war in which the dumber than dog shit “allies” fought for The. Wrong. Side.
Well, German rape puppets, agents of treachery and treason such as Nancy Faeser have addresses. It would be a real shame if scum such as her were to be found propped up against their front door with multiple contusions and sporting a Colombian necktie.Yup, that would be a real shame….
