So, the war in Ukraine started as a civil war that resulted from the U.S. coup in Ukraine. (Here is the smoking gun evidence, the recording of Obama’s agent, Victoria Nuland, actually choosing whom to be appointed as the new — and rabidly anti-Russian — leader of Ukraine.) All of that is likewise prohibited to be published in Germany. Instead, as a judge in the case of the German subject Heinrich Bücker said in his ruling against Bücker, Russia was the aggressor in the war in Ukraine — had staarted that war. Bücker was prosecuted for “publicly approving a crime of aggression” (referring to Russia’s response on 24 February 2022 to Obama’s 2014 coup in Ukraine). Buecker was charged with approving in his speech what the judge called “Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in violation of international law, the illegality of which you knew.” (It WASN’T “illegal.” Article 51 of the U.N.’s Charter says that “Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence.” That was the provision which America’s President JFK had been relying upon in his actions during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, and which Putin likewise does in the Ukraine matter.)

The U.S. Empire’s Total Censoring-Out of the Basic Truths

12 August 2025, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)

The forced expulsions of students at Harvard, Columbia, and other universities who had organized student demonstrations against Israel’s ongoing genocide to eliminate Gazans, and the U.S. Government’s penalizing of (such as withdrawal of research contracts with) those universities for having allowed those demonstrations to take place, are well known examples of the totalitarian thought-control by the U.S. regime. But less well known is the U.S. regime’s enforcement of this censorship upon its vassal regimes, such as Germany, which consequently impose similar mass thought-control, though under their own legal systems.

In the German case, it is essential background to know that the German Government’s renewed obsession to conquer Russia is largely a restoration of Hitler’s regime but not yet at the active stage of the largest military battle in all of history, which was his Operation Barbarossa invasion of Russia during World War Two (WW2). Germany’s top objective at that time was to exterminate Jews and other ‘inferior races’, and its second objective was to enslave all citizens of the Soviet Union (especially Russians) after stealing their land and repopulating it by “Aryans” (purebred non-Jews) as the expansion of Germany’s “Lebensraum” or living-space, so that the German ‘master-race’ (German-Government certified “Aryans”) can then proceed to conquer all other lands, in their “Thousand-Year Reich” of enslaving all other peoples. It is essential to know that this was what the German version of racist-fascist-imperialist-supremacism, or the ideology of the Nazi Party, nazism, was aiming to do — because Germany has now declared itself yet again to be at war against Russia (though not yet in the hot war phase). But, of course, that version of nazism ended because Germany lost WW2; so, the present version of German’s (now subordinate to America’s) nazism is considerably modernized, and has no anti-Semitism (hatred of Jews), at all. Now, the number one enemy is openly declared to be Russians.

On 25 July 1945, the U.S. President, Harry Truman, had accepted the advices both of his personal hero General Dwight Eisenhower and of the UK’s Winston Churchill, that if the U.S. Government would not take over the world, then the Soviet Union would; and, so, that decision by Truman started the Cold War. His decision on that day, which he communicated to the Soviet leader Josef Stalin, was that though the countries the U.S. and UK had conquered from Hitler will be no business or concern of the Soviet Union, the countries that the Soviet Union had conquered from Hitler will be very much a concern of the U.S. and UK Governments and will not be recognized by them as legitimate unless and until the U.S. and UK Governments will have an effective veto-power over those Governments’ policies. Of course, Stalin rejected that demand; and, so, from that moment forward, the Cold War has existed. It even continued to exist after 1991 when the Soviet Union ended but America’s anti-Russian military alliance, NATO didn’t. However, all of this is among the U.S. empire’s basic truths that it does not allow to be published — that America started the Cold War and refused to end it.

Another basic fact that the U.S. empire does not allow to be published is that America’s President Barack Obama started the war in Ukraine in a coup that grabbed its neutralist Government and replaced it by an intensely anti-Russian government that immediately went to war against Ukraine’s Russian-speaking population, which constituted around 30% of Ukrainians, basically in Ukraine’s southeast, which was the area that revolted against the Obama-imposed new and rabidly anti-Russian government.

So, the war in Ukraine started as a civil war that resulted from the U.S. coup in Ukraine. (Here is the smoking gun evidence, the recording of Obama’s agent, Victoria Nuland, actually choosing whom to be appointed as the new — and rabidly anti-Russian — leader of Ukraine.) All of that is likewise prohibited to be published in Germany. Instead, as a judge in the case of the German subject Heinrich Bücker said in his ruling against Bücker, Russia was the aggressor in the war in Ukraine — had staarted that war. Bücker was prosecuted for “publicly approving a crime of aggression” (referring to Russia’s response on 24 February 2022 to Obama’s 2014 coup in Ukraine). Buecker was charged with approving in his speech what the judge called “Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in violation of international law, the illegality of which you knew.” (It WASN’T “illegal.” Article 51 of the U.N.’s Charter says that “Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence.” That was the provision which America’s President JFK had been relying upon in his actions during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, and which Putin likewise does in the Ukraine matter.)

On 31 January 2023, WSWS headlined “Peace activist sentenced for criticizing German war policy in Ukraine”, and reported:

The Berlin-Tiergarten District Court sentenced peace activist Heinrich Bücker in January for speaking out in public against Germany’s war policy in Ukraine. The verdict is a massive attack on the basic democratic rights of freedom of speech and assembly. …

Bücker is a member of the Association of the Persecuted of the Nazi Regime–League of Anti-Fascists (VVN-BdA) and the Left Party. …

On June 22, 2022, he gave a speech at the Soviet Memorial in Berlin’s Treptow Park on the 81st anniversary of Nazi Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union, in which he condemned the cooperation of German politicians with former Nazi collaborators in Ukraine and expressed understanding for the views of the Russian president.

As a result, the judge at the local court, Tobias Pollmann, sentenced Bücker to a fine of €2,000, or 40 days imprisonment. His criminal offence under Section 140 of the Criminal Code had consisted of “publicly approving a crime of aggression (Section 13 of the International Criminal Code) in a manner likely to disturb the public peace at a meeting.”

The verdict was issued as a summary penalty order, which does not provide for an oral hearing of the defendant and examination of witnesses. The defendant can appeal within two weeks of the issuance of the penalty order, which Bücker reportedly did. If he had not done so, the penalty order is considered a final judgment, and appeals against it are then no longer possible. …

In the quoted paragraph, Bücker opposes cooperation with far-right forces in Ukraine:

“It is incomprehensible to me that German politicians are again supporting the same Russophobic ideologies on the basis of which the German [Nazi] Reich found willing helpers in 1941, with whom they closely cooperated and jointly carried out murder. All decent Germans should reject any cooperation with these forces in Ukraine against the background of German history, the history of millions of murdered Jews and millions and millions of murdered Soviet citizens in World War II. We must also vehemently reject the war rhetoric emanating from these forces in Ukraine. Never again must we as Germans be involved in any form of war against Russia. We must unite and oppose this madness together.” …

He opposed a renewed war by Germany against Russia and the support of a regime that hardly concealed its place in the tradition of Hitler’s Ukrainian allies at the time. …

The district court reasoned in convoluted and barely comprehensible language thus:

“Your speech has the potential—as you at any rate accept—to shake confidence in the rule of law and to inflame the psychological climate in the population, in view of the considerable consequences that the war will also have for Germany, the threats on the part of the Russian leadership specifically against Germany as a NATO member in the event of support for Ukraine, and not least in view of the presence of hundreds of thousands of people from Ukraine who have found refuge in Germany.”

Translated into understandable language, this means that anyone who criticizes German war policy shakes the confidence in the state and agitates the population. That is why they must be punished. …

It is meant to intimidate and silence any opposition and protest against German militarism. …

This was shortly followed by a ban on all Palestinian demonstrations on Nakba Day. A few months later, the Bundestag (federal parliament) tightened up the incitement of the people paragraph; now, anyone who questions alleged war crimes committed by a country that has just been demonized faces punishment. …

On 17 March 2023, The Gray Zone’s Max Blumenthal interviewed Bücker, and summarized and linked to the interview by saying:

14:23

Right now, in terms of the German

14:25

government, the German government loves

14:27

nazis. Now, yeah, they thought they

14:29

conquered the ghosts of their past, but

14:30

check out my [8 March 2023] interview with the veteran

14:32

anti-war activist Heinrich Buecker up at

14:35

the youtube channel. Heinrich gave a speech last year in

14:41

which he denounced the German government

14:43

for giving military aid to a government

14:45

that renamed the road to Babi Yar, where

14:48

tens of thousands of Jews were

14:49

slaughtered in the Holocaust by bullets,

14:51

after the man responsible, Stepan

14:54

Bandera. Yeah they literally renamed the

14:57

road to Babi Yar then, "Bandera

15:00

Boulevard." And for him [Buecker] complaining, about it,

15:02

a lawyer issued a complaint and he [Buecker]

15:06

now faces a 2,000 Euro fine or 40 days

15:10

in prison at the hands of the German

15:12

State that's arming these characters [Ukrainian nazis] and

15:14

giving them Leopard thanks.

15:17

I mean, this is one of the most

15:19

outrageous historical episodes, and to to

15:22

quote Sarah Wagenknecht, uh, we don't want

15:26

to see

15:28

German weapons being used to kill

15:32

the grandchildren of the Russians who

15:35

were slaughtered by Germans in World War

15:37

II. Do you have historical Amnesia? Yes!

15:40

Yes, it's not going to make up for it,

15:42

Germany, if you just give Israel some uh

15:46

fast boats so they can enforce the siege [starving to death]

15:48

of the ghettoized population of Gaza.

15:50

That doesn't make up for the Holocaust.

15:52

It would make up for the Holocaust if

15:54

you stopped arming nazis and actually

15:56

condemned them.

On 2 May 2023, John Helmer headlined “BERLIN JUDGE RELEASES  HEINRICH BUECKER BUT RULES RUSSIA IS WAGING AN “ILLEGAL WAR”, RESTRICTS THE GERMAN CONSTITUTION’S FREEDOM OF SPEECH TO PRIVATE, NOT PUBLIC AUDIENCES”, and reported that Germany decided not to punish what he did, because the size of his audience was too small to be significant. In other words: the prosecution had been only to warn others NOT to have a significant-sized audience. The judge ignored Germany’s constitution or “Basc Law” (drafted by the U.S. Government) whose Article 5 says “There shall be no censorship.” (Of course, the U.S. Government rampantly does likewise with regard to its First Amendment.) But this was how they now are censoring anyone who violates the Government’s line: by telling everyone that if it’s done effectively, the person definitely WILL be punished.

However, the case against Buecker was continued. Then, on 23 July 2024, Helmer headlined “THE BERLIN WALL FALLS AGAIN, THIS TIME ON THE STATE PROSECUTION OF HEINRICH BUECHER”. He quoted Buecker: “The court case against me was finally discontinued in July 2024. The acquittal is therefore final. This means that I will no longer be prosecuted for my speech on 22 June 2022 on the occasion of the anniversary of the so-called Operation Barbarossa in June 1941. The public prosecutor’s office has now withdrawn the appeal against the acquittal, which was already issued in February 2024. As the operator of the COOP Anti-War Café, I was initially sentenced to pay a fine of 2,000 euros, alternatively 40 days in prison. The charge was ‘rewarding and approving crimes’ under Section 140 of the Criminal Code. We had appealed against the penalty order. The first public main hearing took place at the end of April 2023 at the Tiergarten District Court and ended with an acquittal. The public prosecutor’s office appealed against this. This meant that the case went to the next court level.  The new trial took place on February 26, 2024 at the Berlin Regional Court and the court decided on acquittal. The public prosecutor’s office had initially appealed the verdict again, but has now withdrawn it after several months.”

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
