Many people ask themselves the question: Why are politicians not held accountable for their obvious mistakes?
Be it the refugee policy, i.e. the unrestrained opening of borders, which casts its dark shadow.
Or the ruinous corona measures that violate human rights, for which, according to the Robert Koch Institute protocols
that have been released, there was never a medical need.
It seems that politicians are encouraged to serve the lobbyists in the background with impunity rather than the people.
In Dr. Maaßen's short speech, which we present uncensored below, he explains the background and ways out from his point of view.
Rule of law means rule of law and not rule by law.
In the rule of law, everyone must abide by the law.
Not only ordinary citizens, but also the government, the Federal Chancellor, the politicians, the judiciary, the so-called NGOs.
No one's morals are above the law. That is the rule of law.
However, this means that the power of those in power is limited, controlled and, in case of
doubt, sanctioned in the event of abuse of power.
But what actually happens when governments themselves commit injustice?
To date, our criminal law does not contain any specific provisions to effectively punish
government crime, abuse of power or political persecution.
There are no clear criminal offenses against the political persecution of dissidents.
The restriction of freedom of expression, state censorship, the deliberate dissemination of false
information by government agencies or the damage to national assets by responsible officials.
This is no coincidence, because the core of the Criminal Code dates back to the imperial era and even then
such regulations were deliberately not included for obvious reasons, and have not been since.
This lack of regulation had serious consequences.
Neither the injustice of the Nazi dictatorship nor that of the SED dictatorship could
be adequately dealt with under criminal law.
Germany has signed international human rights obligations, such as the European Convention on Human Rights and
the United Nations Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
However, without criminal sanctions for the actions of politicians who violate these regulations, they will remain ineffective.
A human right that cannot be enforced is ultimately just a promise on paper.
The political developments of recent years, particularly since Angela Merkel's time in government, show that Wrong
decisions of historic significance remain without consequences.
This not only damages trust in politics, but also in the rule of law itself.
That is why I have drawn up a specific draft bill as a kind of service offer to all
parliamentary groups represented in the Bundestag.
Not party-politically, not ideologically, but in terms of the rule of law.
Specifically, my draft provides for the inclusion of a new section 31 in the Criminal Code, namely paragraphs 358 to 372.
For the first time, it defines clear criminal offenses for government crime and abuse of power.
These include new criminal offenses that punish the following actions:
The state dissemination of false information, including to discredit political opponents, the introduction of censorship,
the political persecution of dissidents, the misuse of intelligence services and security agencies to combat political
opponents, the formation of private structures to intimidate political opponents, actions intended to legally eliminate the
existence of the Federal Republic or the constitutional order, the targeted damage to Germany, including in cooperation with
foreign actors, the disparagement of the German people or individual persons by those in power
and the intentional damage to the national wealth.
All of this is already prohibited, but not punishable.
All of these criminal offenses that I have described are new and do not exist in the German Criminal Code.
And another point: the dependence of the public prosecutor's offices on instructions from
the ministers of justice must be abolished.
The judiciary must not be controlled in criminal law.
That is why my draft law makes it clear: in future, justice ministers should no longer be allowed to
issue instructions to public prosecutors' offices.
The public prosecutor's offices must be independent.
This bill is not directed against democratic politics.
It is directed against the abuse of power, no matter by whom.
Democracy means temporary power. And democracy means that governments are also subject to the law.
It is a bill in the interests of our country and our constitutional state.
Because freedom does not die overnight. It dies when power is no longer limited.
The topic of "prosecuting politicians for abuse of power" is sometimes the subject of controversial debate.
Kla.TV also addressed the issue in the program "Politicians must be liable - Interview with Stephanie Tsomakaeva".
Regardless of the pros and cons, the questions arise: Who were the responsible string-pullers who did not provide
for the prosecution of politicians who abuse their power?
Is there even some kind of long-term strategy behind this?
Whatever you think of Dr. Maassen's proposal, in principle his suggestion serves to de-escalate the situation.
This means that the legally paved paths help to create peace. And that is exactly what seems to be sorely needed.
For example, some out-of-control Generation Z protests give an idea of where it can lead when popular anger is unleashed.
It therefore seems appropriate to create sensible and legally paved paths in a timely manner before a white-hot mob strikes.
As in 1789, for example, when the French Revolution escalated and cost the heads of
many aristocrats, clergy and political leaders.
Or is such a dramatic escalation in the manner of a revolution, chaos escalated to the limit, perhaps even part of a strategy?
Part of the long-planned "Great Reset" to introduce the one-world government favored by the WEF?
A government that no nation would be prepared to accept under normal circumstances?
