Peace Within Ourselves and the World – Aufbruch Zeitz – Peace Rally on August 31, 2024On Saturday, August 31, 2024, the interest group "Aufbruch Zeitz" held a peace rally under the theme "Peace Within Ourselves and the World" to mark World Peace Day, commemorating the invasion of Poland by Hitler's fascist regime on September 1, 1939, followed by attacks on the Soviet Union and other countries. Despite five other events taking place in Zeitz that day and many people still being on vacation, around 80 to 100 individuals attended the event. Several speakers took the microphone, and singer-songwriter Hardy from Freyburg was once again a guest in Zeitz, delighting peace activists. Enrico and Arnd also contributed musically. A grill stand provided food and drinks – big thanks for that too! The central topic of the rally was the increasing threat to peace posed by the ever more aggressive war policies of NATO and the government of this Federal Republic of Germany. Never again war from German soil! A new war against Russia, initiated by Germany, must not be allowed. Weapons deliveries to the war against Russia and any participation of German soldiers must be stopped. Thanks to André Poggenburg and Georg Theis for their speeches, and to Mr. Elsässer for sponsoring the stage and sound system. Thanks also to all participants and active helpers! We don’t want war – we want peace and coexistence with other nations based on equality and mutual recognition of sovereignty. Get out of NATO and finally create a sovereign constitution granted by the people, which could form the basis for a peace treaty with Russia since the end of World War II. It must be in the interest of our country’s future and its people that a government can be formed which truly represents the interests of its citizens! That is why we continue to take to the streets and show those up there our faces with pride! Peace, freedom, and justice! YouTube transcript not necessarily accurately interpreted by AI The spoken word in the video is authoritative. Germany, show your face! Wake up and fight for your rights. Let your children be free again – to sing, play, and shout. Don’t be afraid of the deceptions and manipulations. A rift runs through our country, and I see many police vehicles out here. We are a small group of about 20 people, and each police car is monitoring two peace activists. Today, Saturday, August 31, a peace rally is taking place on the Square of Unity. There are a total of six registered events in the city. Compared to other peace rallies with up to 2000 participants, today’s turnout is rather low, but sincere peace activists are here, showing their faces. Are you really so corrupt that you can still look in the mirror? People are suffering out there, many die lonely, just because you keep deceiving us. Germany, show your face, wake up and fight for your rights. Let your children breathe freely again, sing and shout. Even if we are ignored, we will persevere and remain here. We will come closer again, be unafraid, and speak our minds openly. Today we are at the Square of German Unity, not at the Old Market, where another rally is taking place under the patronage of our mayor. I hope he really only holds a symbolic umbrella and nothing more. Thanks to everyone who made this event possible, including the people at the grill stand – they deserve applause. The event is now officially open. There are not many restrictions since we are just a small group. We will stay and offer a decent program. Now I invite the next speaker, Georg, to the stage. [Applause] Dear friends of peace, welcome to World Peace Day 2024! Today we show the war-mongers in Washington, Brussels, and Berlin the red card. For decades, international law has no longer been the foundation of foreign policy in the Western world, including Germany. This is a regrettable state of affairs, because only international law can secure peace in global relations. Western countries have discarded international law and conduct illegal wars that have caused over five million deaths. History offers countless examples of imperialist wars. A country that has waged so many wars has lost all moral authority to lecture others on international law. Today, we demand a 180-degree turnaround in foreign policy. This includes strict adherence to international law, preventive conflict resolution through diplomacy, as well as neutrality and non-alignment. We continue to say: out of NATO and toward a Eurasian peace alliance that includes Russia and China. Peace cannot be achieved against Russia and China. It’s not enough to just wish for peace. We must also question the capitalist and imperialist system that causes war. The great French socialist Jean Jaurès already recognized this in 1914: Capitalism carries war within it, like clouds carry rain. Wars are imperialist campaigns aimed at resources, markets, and maximizing profits for the arms industry. Oligarchs and mafias are brought to power and cooperate with the West. One example is Ukraine, deeply entangled in corruption and illegal dealings. These countries are made dependent on the IMF and World Bank to favor Western corporations. This must end. If these war-obsessed politicians continue to drag us into conflict, we must say: Our sons and daughters are not up for grabs – not today, not tomorrow, never. We must rise against the dumbing down of the people by the media, which bombard us daily with disinformation. The terrorism the West claims to fight is often the result of its own policies. The West has supported terrorist groups to advance its interests. Politicians who endorse illegal wars are themselves terrorists. We need truthfulness to achieve peace. In this spirit, I wish you a successful peace rally and look forward to the next speakers and our joint demonstration for world peace. Long live world peace and a free Germany. Thank you. Now we continue with some music. A brief moment, please. Yes, that one too – but now also with drums. [Music] What is our life worth, if only the sword rules and the world falls apart? That will not happen, because we refuse to go under. So we call across our German land: "Divide for peace!" Your breath, God be with the father. [Music] Say, God be with the father, don’t touch his little daughter. You sing: "Germany for peace." [Music] Germany, the melody of the virgin Lorelei, who sits above and combs her golden hair, is an old fairy tale. Sad, but true. Peace does not age, does not last – no one protects it with their hand. [Applause] So, that’s it for now with the music. Now comes our next speaker. Let’s warmly welcome Andre. [Applause] Dear guests from Zeitz and Burgenland, a lot is happening in and around Zeitz today. There are celebrations, demonstrations, and protests. We also take this opportunity to demonstrate and protest for two main issues. First, we want peace in Europe, which can only be achieved through peace with Russia. Second, we want peace within our own society, which is only possible if the division finally stops and the outrageous gender madness ends. While other sexual orientations may be tolerable, it crosses a line when early sexualization is perceived as brazen pedophilia. That’s why we clearly say today: Hands off our children! [Applause] It is notable that the very politicians who push the whole gender agenda are also responsible for war in Europe. Whoever is not at peace with themselves cannot bring peace to the world. The same forces that divide and cause unrest in our society are responsible for conflict in Europe. We say no to that. Peace in Europe, peace at home! Peace in Europe is especially relevant on the eve of World Peace Day. The Ukrainian advance into Russian territory was initially successful, but it likely won't last. The Russians will continue their offensive, and I predict Ukraine will suffer immense losses. The main culprit is not in Europe but in Washington – and I hope they suffer a massive defeat. The English-speaking countries wage wars all over the world just to feel good at home. The German government, once considered pacifist, is now a major warmonger in the Ukraine conflict. After the USA, Germany is the second-largest financial backer of the Ukraine war and the greatest warmonger in Europe. I hope the Russians advance to Berlin and clean house there. Don’t get me wrong: I want Germany to truly be free, the Americans to leave, and the Western Allies to withdraw. We want nothing more or less than any other country and people: not to be occupied or controlled by foreign powers. Anyone demanding this today is immediately labeled a right-wing extremist. If that’s what it means, then I gladly accept the label. Dear friends, peace and freedom are essential. It’s also interesting that important elections are approaching: tomorrow, state elections in Saxony and Thuringia, on September 22 in Brandenburg, and next year the federal election. The ruling parties know their approval ratings are sinking. During election campaigns, they suddenly embrace positions that resonate with the public. Our government proudly announced it had finally deported 28 serious criminals to Afghanistan. This number is laughable and almost criminal, compared to Chancellor Scholz's earlier statement that mass deportations were necessary. More than six months later, only 28 were deported. That’s laughable and outrageous. People have entered Germany illegally, committed heinous crimes – murder, manslaughter, rape – and should have been deported long ago. Instead, they don’t even serve time and receive €1000 before being flown home in peace. What kind of signal does this send? Come illegally, commit crimes, and get rewarded. It’s a disgrace. [Applause] These people will likely return soon, causing trouble again. What’s worse is that, suddenly before elections, the old parties adopt our long-held demands. They now claim multiculturalism doesn’t work, that deportations are needed, and harsh measures should be taken. They talk about making it unpleasant to come here. For years we were labeled Nazis and extremists for the same demands – and had our doors kicked in by police. Now they copy us and pretend it’s legitimate. That’s just campaign posturing. After the election, they’ll disappear again. They don’t want deportations or remigration. They want to flood our country with foreigners and replace the population. We say no thanks. We want a free and sovereign Germany. [Applause] I hope people are not fooled and go vote tomorrow in Saxony and Thuringia. For me, any party outside the establishment is worth voting for. I prefer the AfD and hope the Free Saxons get the second vote. BSW or Werteunion are also acceptable. The main thing is: no votes for the old parties. They are all guilty, no matter what they say now. In this spirit: peace in Europe, peace in our society, and a free, sovereign Germany. Thank you! [Applause] Thanks to Andrej for those important words. It is crucial that we resist this insane war policy and fight for peace. We will now play two more songs. Someone will walk through the crowd collecting donations to help cover rally costs. Afterwards, our live music program continues. Thank you! Dear friends, we have two ladies who will approach you shortly. We know none of us has much money and would rather spend it on nice things like vacations or events. But resistance cannot be neglected. If we don’t resist today, there will soon be nothing left worth spending money on. They will crush us. So we ask for your support. With us, there are no forced fees or taxes – just voluntary donations. Please give the ladies something in their milk cans and read what’s written on them. That makes giving a little easier. The music will begin shortly. I want you to show your country and fight for your rights. Let your children be free again, to sing, play, and shout. Germany, show your face and do not fear. They are trying to control you with fear and terror. Now a musical contribution follows: [Music] "Show your face, wake up now, fight for your rights. Let your children be free again, to breathe, sing, and shout. Germany, show your face, do not fear." Welcome to this rally against the Right. I’ve prepared two songs. One is about how I’ve often been called an idealist, which led to a new song. You have access to so much knowledge, yet you ignore it. Humanity starves while you pour your passion into clubs. Love freezes at home. You call me complicated, but you chase electric cars while eating insects and fat. You preach politics, chase profit, and find the people cute. You preach water, drink wine, and lose your backbone. You swear by law and God, but don’t care. You save the climate with our money and think we’re dumb. You spy on us for noble causes and are corrupt. Be honest – but your plan is a massive fraud. Thank you for your attention. I want to share one more thought I’ve had recently. Einstein once said stupidity might be infinite. If we could generate electricity from brains, energy problems would be solved. The elites have cars, money, and power and play god. They want to govern us into submission, till we land in cells to practice thinking. But 1 + 1 is still just 2 – not 50 or 100. To conclude, I’ll sing a song I originally wrote for South Tyrol, but have updated for current events. [Music] "I sit in the city, it’s raining outside, the highway noise, a plane every ten minutes. The same old crap on TV. I stare at gray walls, sort mail full of lies. But I know what’s true – the opposite of their hate speech. I visit friends, enjoy their clear view. Together, we are strong, peaceful, and free." Thank you for your support and attention. [Applause] I’m online – one, two, three – me too, and the guitar’s ready. Ladies and gentlemen, on the Square of Unity, we sing today a song against war by Hannes W. and Erik Boggels. It’s about time. The song may be familiar from Konstantin Becker, Reinhard Mey, and Hannes Wader. We’ll attempt it in this lineup for the first time. "Far in the Champagne, in midsummer green, where moonflowers bloom among crosses, grasses whisper in the wind over the graves. On your cross, I find a dead soldier, with a name, numbers, and 1916. You weren’t even 19. They lied to you as they still lie to us. You gave everything: your strength, your youth, your life." "Maybe you hoped for joy, but decided and were ashamed. They lied to you, as they still lie today. You gave everything: your strength, your youth, your life. All that remains is a cross to mark your path. We must keep fighting for peace and stay vigilant. If humanity falls for the same lies again, there may be no one left to mourn the billions lost. But still..." Author: AI-Translation - Arnd Eiert, die Redner, Musiker und die KI | 02.09.2024 |
