Yet another voice of caution and dissent in Germany intimidated by SWAT-Team raid of home
Professor of political science, Rudolph Bauer, who is vocal against medical tyrany and war, has his home raided by heavily armed police "in search of further evidence of violating the constitution"
The German Judiciary has a track record of bowing to fascism. We have been covering this fact more than once on this substack. Following the scandalous cases against Robert Hoeschele, Sucharit Bhakdi and Heinrich Habig, where a German Jew, a professor with expertise in the field of immunology, and a doctor who has been jailed for honoring the hippocratic oath were prosecuted, the latest outrage has been reported from the city of Bremen. There, Rudolph Bauer, professor emeritus for “Welfare Policy and Social Services” at the notoriously liberal University of Bremen, and a former “Fellow for Philanthropy” at Johns-Hopkins University had his home raided by a SWAT-Team at dawn on August 10, 2023.
The house was searched “because of the use of signs of unconstitutional organizations, etc.” in four of over one thousand five hundred photo montages that Bauer, who also is a political artist, published on his Instagram account under the hashtag #bauerrudolph as political art and with the label #politicalart. Bauer, who was born in 1939 and as a child experienced WWII, and his wife, were still in bed when the raid started and totally unsuspecting.
Since 2020, Bauer in his political photo montages has critically examined the Corona pandemic and the German government's political emergency decrees, since 2022 also the war in Ukraine and the role of the Federal Republic of Germany as a member of the EU and a NATO ally of the USA.
The fourth of the photo montages designated as punishable, according to the wording of the charge, “shows a concentration camp and the lettering changed to 'COVID 19 VACCINES MAKE FREE' (...) inter alia with the hashtag #impfenmachtfrei.” The grounds for investigation against the artist here read: “By factually equating democratically legitimized measures with the inhumane actions of National Socialism, he has, in a particularly despicable manner, trivialized the actions committed under the rule of the National Socialism”.
What makes the actions of the Judiciary against Rudolph Bauer so scandalous is the weaponization of the Holocaust in an effort to stymie legitimate criticism. After all: the artist is clearly warning against a repeat of another Holocaust by highlighting the boldness of the lie that vaccination will end the pandemic and will stop the spread of infection. Neither did happen. But proponents of vaccinations did themselves use #impfenmachtfrei as hashtag to encourage the public to get the shots, as this screenshot proves:
Whether or not the lawmaker had his home raided is not the question we should be seriously asking. But the underlying lie of these coercive statements by lawmakers is pointing towards a serious political possibility of nefarious intent of those in the know. It is not at all out of the ordinary or unthinkable for a politically outspoken artist to assume foul play on the part of the “powers that be”. Therefore it is a legitimate means of political communication and should be treated as what it is meant: a thought-provoking act.
The judge who signed off on the search warrant even failed to realize is that the “democratically legitimized” measures can not serve as an excuse per se. Many critics have called the pandemic response a “power grab” or “coup d’etat”. Actions taken by a democratically elected parliament, or that of courts, may still turn out to be fatal, genocidal and unjust, as was shown by Gustav Radbruch in 1946 in his essay on Statutory Lawlessness and Supra-Statutory Law. Statutes can be unjust and lawless, which has been shown in the case of Nazi Germany itself. Just the mere possibility of lawmakers believing to be doing the right thing isn’t enough. Given the high numbers of casualties, the split in and polarization of society (and the fact that divide and conquer has historically been a method employed by villains), truly independent lawmakers and judges who are dedicated to serving the public would have an obligation to investigate closely the many inconsistencies and incongruencies of the measures they voted or decided on.
Bauer, as all of the many dissidents before him, was to be made an example of in order to deter future dissidents of an oligarchical elitist system which has penetrated cabinets (and parliaments, and courts of law) around the world, and which may just be attempting to finish off what previous villains have failed to achieve.
Let’s be on guard, and stand our ground!
