A recent US documentary about the rigid legal pursuit of declared “hate speech” in Germany, also newly titled “Hatespeech” for better marketing, has left US viewers perplexed about the perceived self-evidence of “free speech” there. A particular sequence, in which three prosecutors from the Göttingen public prosecutor’s office are seen laughing about how citizens react after being investigated, has quickly made its way into social media. Now, Professor Stefan Homburg, a statistician and Corona measure critic, has entered the fray with a comment.
The Amadeu Antonio Foundation, funded by the government, explains the topic: “Hatespeech comes from the English and means ‘hate speech’ in translation. In dehumanizing statements, individuals or groups are devalued.”
The evaluations of alleged “hate speech” and insults, however, are being forcibly undertaken by a group of government-financed organizations, such as “Hate Aid” which, in close cooperation with law firms, have developed a lucrative and constantly growing employment field (RT DE reported on this, among other things). The US show “60 Minutes” sent a reporter to distant Germany to report on this phenomenon, with success. US Vice President JD Vance, commenting on the above-mentioned sequence with the three prosecutors, used the exact X-comment: “Someone being insulted is not a crime and the criminalization of speech will severely strain the relationships between Europe and the US. This is Orwellian and everyone in Europe and the US must reject this madness.”
The documentary has also been noticed by German media. Headlines from German newspapers read:
Berlin Daily: US documentary about German prosecutors: They laugh about citizens whose homes are searched due to online posts Bild: It’s about freedom of opinion: US show about Germany makes Americans speechless World Newspaper: Hate in the Net: When the US reporter heard what the convicted person in Germany has to pay, she only says “Wow”
Professor Stefan Homburg, co-initiator of the presentation of the declassified RKI protocols, commented and informed on the controversial discussion in social media:
“Transparency: It was Dr. Matthäus Fink, the prosecutor, who issued the indictment against me in the Buyx case. Since Fink did not grant my lawyer either access to the files or a fair hearing, she could not argue that I did not name or intend to offend Mrs. Buyx. The trial is still ongoing.”
Buyx had initiated legal investigations, claiming that Homburg had written a defamatory letter to her the previous year (RT DE reported).
Homburg further elaborates in his current posting:
“Background: Fink, the prosecutor, is an activist who has been opening criminal proceedings against me for years. I probably came into his crosshairs due to my advocacy for vaccine freedom, a green no-go area. I am denounced by Fink mostly by Green Party advisors like Simon Jäger or Gerhard Torges, who openly call for criminal acts under the meme #OpKalteWut.”
The “political goal” of the Göttingen “hate prosecutors” consists, according to Homburg, primarily in legally destroying unliked profiles in social media, in order to then conclude:
“Whoever praises Habeck’s economic competence or Baerbock’s diplomatic skills has nothing to fear.
