The following is an editorial commentary by Gisela Friedrichsen in Spiegel Online International dated May 13, 2013 titled "Victim's Lawyers Should Stop Fanning Outrage."

Relatives of the victims of the NSU terror cell were furious that the trial was adjourned last week so the judge could consider a defense motion of bias against him. But the victims' lawyers criticized this legitimate instrument. They are giving their clients exaggerated expectations and should know better.

A scandal! An insult! Another slap in the face of the victims! Such was the language that accompanied the decision by Munich's Higher Regional Court to cancel two sessions of the National Socialist Union (NSU) trial and not resume proceedings until this week. This came on the first day of the trial, when the defense entered two motions alleging bias: one directed at chief judge Manfred Götzl and the other against him and two fellow judges.

Taken from Spiegel Online International (by Gisela Friedrichsen) which is doing a fair job of covering this trial for English readers. Pictured right is Beate Zschäpe on Day 3 of her trial, May 15. Highlights:

The trial resumed on Tuesday, May 14 "after an eight-day adjournment during which the court considered - and rejected - a defense motion to replace the judge on the ground that he was biased because he had ordered defense lawyers to be frisked before entering the courtroom."

Carolyn - No participant in the trial, including the Turkish "victim families" and their attorneys was searched - ONLY the three defense attorneys. Wow, talk about totally unnecessary, but it does serve to give the German people a sense of the bias of this court. On this 2nd day, the charges against the defendents were read out. The media plays up that there were "emotional gasps and sobs," etc. from the "victim family members" in the gallery.

New Motions

"On [the[ third day of the trial, the morning [was] focused on a purely legal problem -- who sits on the judge's bench. Motions against the judges are difficult. They have to be made straight after the charges have been read. A defense that botches this aspect of the trial is doing a bad job."

Bruce Campbell tells about his long career as an anti-government "freedom fighter," beginning with fighting for White Rhodesians in the early 1970's. He wrote and published a book in the 1980's, The New American Man: A Call to Arms (advertisment for the book pictured at right), now out of print, which started the "militia movement." He also met Louis Beam at this time, with whom he has remained close friends. Campbell believes the White freedom "movement" has been heavily infiltrated and is basically government-run. Bruce, at 66, works for a living and says he always will. Some highlights of his beliefs as expressed on this fascinating program:

• The Klan, Aryan Nations, Christian Identity and the entire "Right" is all basically a CIA operation;
• Oklahoma City bombing and later "terrorism events" up to the Boston Marathon bombing were Mossad-CIA directed;
• Feds don't want to draw attention to Campbell - who is the only person saying what he says - is why they leave him alone;
• The only legitimate function of government is to provide a debt-free currency;
• Free men and their guns make police forces unnecessary - it's all about tough men who are capable of fighting back;
• The word to describe the present fight against government tyranny is "resistance," not militia;
   
• Bruce's latest article.

Carolyn Yeager and Hadding Scott  read and comment on Chapter 42, “The Present Status of the Jewish Question.”

We are at the half-way point of  “The International Jew” – the end of Volume Two of four volumes – and the level of Jewish influence in America is examined and  judged. Some highlights:

• Our growing weakness for applause and “boosterism” over straight talk and facts;
• TIJ takes credit for the word “Jew” to now (in 1921) be spoken aloud and printed in newspapers;
• Jewish leaders of today are in fear of further exposure – such as that they are the best organized people in the entire world, better than any government;
• Jewish solidarity is largely anti-American, for example having the goal of weakening recognition of the Christian Sunday, while strengthening recognition of the Jewish Saturday Sabbath;
• All antisemitism is the creation of Jewish leaders, and the charge is used as a last resort when confronted with the truth;
• Jews do not believe in free speech or in a free press, they continue to press for laws to prevent any derogatory statements about Jews. [Today called "hate" laws.]

From Leopold Wenger's Trip Diary

Out and About on the Bicycle

1936-1937

copyright 2013 Wilhelm Wenger and Carolyn Yeager 
Translated from the German by Wilfried Heink 

Leopold Wenger was born on Nov. 19, 1921; in July 1936 when his first diary-recorded bike trip began, he was only 14 years old. By the time of the rest of the trips recorded here (all of which took place before the annexation of Austria to Germany), he was 15 years old. Quite a responsible, resiliant, hardy and adventurous young National-Socialist "Hitler Youth" he was, who later became a valiant defender of the Reich.  My thanks to Willy Wenger for sending these diary entries to me – along with the photographs taken by 'Poldi (called Bibi by family) – and to Wilfried Heink for translating it from the German original – a large undertaking.

While this may not interest everyone, I believe it is of great value for comparing our youth of that time with our youth of today. -cy

The Salzburg Journey, May 5-8, 1936

Sunday, July 5, 1936. We were to leave Leoben at 5:30, but I slept in and was picked up by Prommer and Horvat; we left Leoben at 5:45. We traveled via Edling to Seitz. Between Kammern and Mauten, we had to stop for the first time, my canteen/flask, fastened to my rucksack had slipped between the frame of my bike and the hind wheel during a descent. It acted as a brake, and the felt encasing was severely damaged.

Tom Metzger has been a respected, effective anti-immigration, White racialist activist since the 1960′s, and today, at age 75, is still at it. He earned the nickname “Terrible Tommie” because of his blunt talk and radical tactics. He has controversially moved to the Left over the years, to what he calls 3rd Position. Tanstaafl co-hosts this program with Carolyn. Discussion highlights include:

• How Tom inspired the Minuteman border patrol movement;
• When he turned down a big political career because he wouldn’t “go along to get along;”
• How our understanding of political left and right gets us confused;
• Leaderless resistance/ Lone Wolf activism vs. leader-run organizations ;
• The New Orlean’s Protocol: should violence be absolutely ruled out;
• The cartoons of A. Wyatt Mann.

Tom’s appearance was somewhat delayed because of a mistake in the phone number I sent him in the first email.

Hadding Scott and Carolyn Yeager read and comment on Chapter 41, “Jews Use the Peace Conference to Bind Poland.”

This chapter starts out with “trouble between Jews and other people is a continuous situation.” Naturally the huge number of Jews in Poland – as much as 10% of the population at that time – caused trouble for the Poles. International Jewry propagandized sporadic Polish reaction into “persecution” of tens of thousands – facilitating the entry of a quarter of a million Jews from Poland into the United States in a short period of time. The background information of why Poles acted as they did is given, along with how the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 gave the Jews of Poland everything they wanted. The chapter asks if the United States will do the same.

I was in the final battle for Berlin - from the Seelow Heights up to the last bitter street fighting in the vicinity of the bunker of Adolf Hitler. All Berliners participated in this, the bloodiest battle on German soil. The city had already included for some days troops of the Red Army.

Knowledge of the possiblity of being liberated by the Twelfth  Army under the command of young General Walther Wenck must have been what gave us the hope and the courage to endure. But General Wenck came up only as far as Potsdam.

"Then was the terminus." Those were his words as I heard them from him in Geneva in 1966, a time that I was able to talk to him about it.

This instrument of surrender was signed on May 7, 1945, at Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's headquarters in Rheims by Gen. Alfred Jodl, Chief of Staff of the German Army. At the same time, he signed three other surrender documents, one each for Great Britain, Russia, and France. Signatories: On behalf of the German High Command. JODL. IN THE PRESENCE OF: On behalf of the Supreme Commander, Allied Expeditionary Force. W. B. SMITH On behalf of the Soviet High Command. SOUSLOPAROV. Witnessed by F SEVEZ Major General, French Army. For an enlarged version, go here.

On May 7, 1945 the German Instrument of Surrender was signed in Rheims, France by representatives of the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (OKW) and the Allied Expeditionary Force [US and UK] together with the Soviet High Command. Those signing were Alfred Jodl of the OKW, Walter Bedell Smith of the Western Allies, and Ivan Sousloparov of the Soviet Union.

On May 8, a second signing took place in Berlin by representatives of the three armed services of the OKW [Keitel, Stumpff and Friedeberg] and the Allied Expeditionary Force together with the Supreme High Command of the Red Army. French and US representatives signed as witnesses.

While it was in three languages, the document states that only the English version was considered authoritative.

Tag der Kapitulation in Germany is known in the West as VE Day (Victory in Europe).

David Cole (pictured), the much admired holocaust revisionist of the 90's, has re-emerged at age 44 as David A. Stein, a Republican Party activist and producer of mainstream holocaust videos. Carolyn looks at what is known so far:

• He didn't come forth voluntarily but was "outed" by a female in whom he had confided;
• Says he will not try to continue as David Stein, the Republican Party "Animal";
• His participation with the Tinbergen  film production company with partner Caleb Tinbergen;
• Jewish blogger Eric Golub shows how angry and punishing Jews can be;
• Colestein's self-invented biography as David Abravanel Stein;
• Carolyn thinks Colestein will never be able to leave his Jewish community;
• David Irving's lawsuit against Deborah Lipstadt turned Revisionists into "Deniers";'
• Fredrick Toben calls in and talks about the ramifications of the "gassing" controversy and the Kriege report;
• Charles Krafft calls in and wants to know about the 2006 Tehran Conference papers.
