Germany: “The Rule of Law” and the Modern Slavery

Any slavery exists for the purpose of the full exploitation of the enslaved people. Its main function is to give the opportunity to coerce the slaves to do everything against their own will for the sake of their full exploitation. Any slaveholder state creates the legal framework, allowing the coercion and exploitation of the slaves. As the contemporary slaveholder states are masked as “democracies” and “rules of law” they can do whatever they want only with people who formally/legally do not reside on their territories and do not exist there by documents. Now I will reveal how the laws and regulations of Germany make this possible for the vast number of sex slaves in this country i.e. now will reveal the contribution of the German lawmakers to the modern slavery.

At first glance Germany has good laws on prostitution and human trade. The penalty code forbids and punishes pimping, forced prostitution and exploitation of prostitutes. But in 2002 in expectation of the sex slaves from Eastern Europe the German Parliament passed a new prostitution law, which gave the brothel owners the rights to give instructions to the working in their establishments self-employed women. In its interpretation of the law the Constitutional Court ruled out that the brothel owners are allowed to determine the working time, the location of work and the prices of the women. Thus the Court allowed the brothel owners to do what Article 181a Pimping (2) defines as crime and punishes it. Besides, there are no formal requirements to the brothel owners in Germany – neither licenses nor criminal record certificates. Legally anyone can become there brothel owner, in reality – only those who are allowed to. I will explain what I mean with one example from Leipzig. Several years ago a new brothel was established in this town and was almost immediately vandalized. The whole Leipzig believes that the German boss of the Hungarian sex slaves Jens Kottke stands behind the vandalizing (I wrote on this to the federal police) but up to now the perpetrator is unknown. The result of this selection of brothel owners by the criminal regime in Germany is well described by the head of the criminal police in Augsburg Mr. Klaus Bayerl who wrote in his report “The situation of the prostitutes in the international human trade” that almost all brothel owners in Germany are criminals with close ties to the Organized Crime. It turns out that the German state has given the industry along with the working in it women to the Organized Crime.

The selection of the brothel owners and the actual limitation of the access to this business has another important consequence – the exploitation of the prostitutes. For flats, which would carry total costs (rent plus utilities overhead) of about 400 euro monthly, Kottke collects 85 euro daily, which makes up 2550 euro on a monthly basis.

It might sound strange but taxation and the related to it accountability are the major impediments to the exploitation of the prostitutes. If the woman is a salaried employee, her salary must comply with the accepted standards. If the woman is self-employed she has to report her revenue and her costs, which however in this case would be an evidence for a robbery of 2550 euro monthly, which is explicitly forbidden by the penalty code not to talk about the sex slaves, which in the best case end up with some 15% of their revenues. This problem – the necessity to hide the exploitation of the prostitutes, was solved by the German lawmakers already in the 60-ies, when to my mind the German rulers decided to get hold of the money from this trade. The Duesseldorf method introduces a flat-rate daily tax payment, completely independent from the revenues of the prostitutes and varying from province to province – from 5 to 15 euro. From various sources I can conclude that the monthly revenue of a prostitute in Germany is in the range between 5 000 and 8 000 euro. If we take the average flat-rate of 10 euro daily (300 euro monthly) and a revenue of 6 000 euro, we will arrive at a tax rate of only 5%. Thus the Duesseldorf method not only allows hiding revenues and thus the exploitation of the prostitutes but diverts significant funds from the state budget to the decision makers, controlling the prostitution.        

But there is more to it. The responsibility for the declaration and the payment of the taxes of the prostitutes lies not with the women but with the brothel owners. They collect the money from the women and pay in the local finance offices. While they always collect the money they do not always pay the taxes. When I mentioned to the BKA officials that Kottke might be held liable for tax evasion, they started laughing and urged me to prove this.

As you see the German lawmakers have done their best to hide the exploitation of the prostitutes in Germany. Locally they often even went further. Leipzig is one of the two towns in Germany in which street prostitution is illegal. The authorities explain their decision with public moral. This, however, is not true as the municipality papers, delivered by almost each door in town contain lots of advertisements of semi- and fully naked women from the flats of Jens Kottke. The authorities have made street prostitution illegal to force the women to exploitation in the flats of Jens Kottke and few other brothel owners, appointed by these same authorities. Another proof of this is the fact all attempts of Leipzig prostitutes to use flats on their own ended up with vandalizing of the flats and with unknown perpetrators. Again the whole town talks that this was Kottke and again prosecution and police do not know anything about this.

Although the law of 2002 recognized prostitution as a normal trade i.e. as not different from the others, prostitution remains the only legal trade in Germany, for each neither registration nor license is required. This is the formal justification why the brothel owners pay the taxes of the prostitutes.

Now I come to my major point in this article. Those of you, who have read up to now carefully, must have noticed that the procedures do not require any formal relationship between a prostitute and a state – no documents, no records, nothing. There is nothing which can prove that a woman from Hungary or Bulgaria has been let’s say in Leipzig, in one of the flats of Kottke in the period between this and that date. This is the situation, which allows the human traders to do with their victims anything they want, which is the main purpose of the German legislation and regulations. A person who is registered who pays taxes can not disappear traceless and without problems for the perpetrators but a person whose presence can’t be evidenced, can. This is also the explanation why none of the sex slaves in Germany has health insurance, which is required by law from all foreigners residing in the country and despite the fact that prostitution is risky for their health as often they are forced to provide services without condom. Sex slaves are not a party in the rent of the flats – their pimps and actual warders pay the rent to the German brothel owner from the money they have collected from their victims. The advertising pictures are not considered legally valid evidences – the BKA officials told me that these pictures are no proves that the girls on them actually have been in the brothel who advertised them. Also therefore they laughed when I mentioned tax evasion for Kottke – no presence of any of his victims in his flats can be proved.   

We see that the political class in Germany not only gave the sex industry to the Organised Crime in the country and removed all impediments for the exploitation of the prostitutes but has set up the preconditions for the full “freedom” of the criminals in the treatment of the vast number of sex slaves from Eastern Europe. Some of the consequences of this criminal “freedom” I have already described in this blog. It is because of this “freedom” that my Hungarian friend Lili with 29 years of age had to take heart drops and could not stand to be touched by the head as result of the many hard blows she had received there from her pimp.

Quite logically I did not get any response to my letter from November 21, 2010 to the Chancellor Angela Merkel and the five party fractions represented in the German parliament, in which I described the inhuman situation of the Hungarians and appealed to them to stop the brutality.

The absence of taxation and tax reporting, of any real requirements for registration and licensing are the undisputable marks of the modern sex slavery, which we shall trace not only in Germany but in other slaveholder states. The formal laws have no meaning by such realities as they are violated anyway by the decision makers. By the way, the best environment for slavery is created exactly by restrictive laws as they allow to leave the whole trade and crime for the decision makers.

The real rule of law and the modern slavery are incompatible but in Germany they seem to co-exist only because instead of rule of law there is controlled by the decision makers legal arbitrariness and criminal despotism. Rule of law in Germany exists only in the official propaganda. The much advertised good laws are neutralized by other contradicting them laws and regulations or by the “interpretations” of the competent courts

In view of the obvious inadequacy of the prostitution law already for several years there has been much talk and work on a new law but this is all simulation of activity. The main beneficiary of the slavery – the political class, will never ban slavery on its own will. If they want to do it, they know perfectly well what needs to be done. Already in ancient times the Greek statesman Solon found a comprehensive solution for the control of the prostitution, uniting the society’s interests with the human treatment of the prostitutes, the majority of whom were slaves. Even to introduce registration, licensing and taxation with the respective accountability (like for any other trade) would suffice to depart at least from the brutal slavery, described in this blog. And the existence of incompatible with the rule of law supported by the politicians and authorities Organised Crime is another vital proof for the absence of the much propagated German rule of law.

The swamp of the German state criminality

This article deals with the scandal, which broke out in May 2007 in the German province Saxony, after the appearance of press reports on an investigation conducted by the provincial counterespionage about the connections of high ranking politicians and justice officials to the Organised Crime (OC) in the province and which became known by the public as the “Sachsensumpf” (Saxon Swamp) scandal.

It is an unforgivable negligence to write about human trade in Leipzig and about its support by the authorities and the despotism of the prosecution without bringing the topic in connection with the above mentioned scandal, which would be also a very good continuation of my narrative on the Leipzig prosecution. First of all I would like to stress, that all circumstances presented below are 100% based on press reports. Therefore nothing in this article should be interpreted as incrimination of any of the mentioned below persons. This blog is about the modern slavery as the biggest crime of the German and the other Western states and each personal role is to be considered within the framework of the criminal state systems.

Undisputable in the Saxony scandal are the committed crimes and law breaches and the fact that up to now with just one partial exception their perpetrators remain unrevealed or unpunished. For practical considerations I will call here the persons, named in the investigation report “The Untouchables” as unlike their investigators they never came to experience real troubles or career destruction - even some of them got further promoted. I find the press marking as corruption scandal inadequate and misleading – the scandal is about more serious crimes and therefore I will call it “Saxon Affair” or “The Files Affair”.

The Crimes

According to the member of the competent parliamentary commission Andre Hahn the counterespionage Dossier deals with abuse of office and bribery, perversion of justice, betrayal of secrets, Obstruction of justice in the Official, sex and drugs related crimes, real estate speculations and bodily harm up to death.

Meant here are two murders in Leipzig in the 90-ies – of a court secretary for real estate (her corpse was found 4 years later in another province) and of a real estate agent, who intended to testify to the police; of the criminal police chief in Plauen and of a Russian who must have belonged to his network. Only those few who have seen the files know the actual number of murders committed and the scope of crimes perpetrated. Three assassination attempts are known, one of them against a female confidant of the counterespionage who took part in the surveillance. Other undisputable crimes are child prostitution, coercion of children to prostitution, threats to journalists, confidants and investigators and mutilations of journalists.

The counterespionage investigation was concentrated around two criminal activities – real estate speculations and human trade, especially with women and children. There is a close connection between real estate speculations and human trade for the purpose of sexual exploitation and prostitution at all in Germany – the only legal form of exploitation of the victims is the rent for premises, which has nothing to do with the ongoing market rent rates for real estate properties and besides, gives the brothel owners the first earned money of their victims.

The press reports allow drawing the conclusion, that the real estate speculations have brought damages to the municipality of Leipzig in an amount of approximately 1 billion euro – sufficient amount to “justify” the above murders.

The investigation has documented numerous visits of Czech girls under the management of their pimps to the City Hall of Leipzig, where the juvenile sex slaves entertained the top city officials of the town. It makes also clear that all imported sex slaves were in Leipzig with the knowledge and at the order of the authorities.

The points of departure – the case “Klockzin” and the child brothel “Jasmin”

Martin Klockzin was in the 90-ies the legal manager of LWB, the Leipzig community real estate company, which at that time had about 120 000 flats on its balance out of which about 40% were subject to restitution. He introduced the policy to protest the claims of the former owners. These claims were brought to the Office for open ownership issues, where their consideration was prolonged until the owners gave up and sold their property at about half the ongoing market price so that after the renovation the new owners could sell for big profits. In October 1994 however, there was an assassination attempt against Klockzin, which he survived despite the three bullets received. Three of the four small criminals received life sentences and the shooter got 12 years.

The chief of the police commissariat 26 for Organised Crime (OC) in Leipzig Georg Wehling noticed however, that the investigation had not sought the real instigators of the crime, although two names had come up in the proceedings. He interrogated the offenders who mentioned to him two businessmen from Aellgau as instigators. With the assistance of one of the criminals he collected proofs against the two and they received a fine of DEM 2500 each for instigation to dangerous body damage – the crime for which the small criminals had received life sentences.

The reason for the crime turned out to be a dispute for a living house on Riemannstrasse 52. The two businessmen had a purchase contract for that house with its owners for DEM 680 000, while a lawyer acquired the property only for DEM 350 000 with help from the LWB through the law for encouragement of the investments. The lawyer has committed herself to build social flats for Millions DEM, which she never did. The businessmen managed first to stop the deal through a court but the Provincial Court let it through – the lawyer was the common law partner of the vice president of this court Juergen Niemeyer, who with that deal acquired two flats for himself. The same lawyer presented Klockzin in the process against his offenders.

The criminals informed Wehling that Klockzin was a regular client in the children brothel “Jasmin”. The two businessmen had threatened several times that they were aware of involvements of Klockzin and top magistrates in child prostitution and could talk publicly about this, which could be the explanation for their extremely mild sentences. Wehling interrogated some of the girls from the brothel and they pointed out at Klockzin, Niemeyer and the two businessmen. Wehling found out that during the investigation on the brothel nobody asked about the clients of the child prostitutes, which might be the explanation for another extremely mild sentence – that of the brothel owner, given by judge Niemeyer.   

With his investigation Wehling must have touched very important interests (he investigated another children brothel with East European children in the age between 8 and 12 years) which why the career of the most successful investigator in Saxony up to 2002 went downhill. His commissariat was broken up, he personally was smeared, suspended, had to undergo 9(!) preliminary proceedings, 8 of them were cancelled and in 1 he was found innocent. Currently he is not allowed to work within the OC area and to deal with confidantes so the Untouchables and the organized crime in Leipzig can’t be bothered by him anymore.

Wehling must have submitted his findings to the only structure in Saxony, which still dared to investigate against the OC – the desk “OC” of the provincial counterespionage and obviously thus began the surveillance of high-ranking officials and magistrates, which produced the famous dossier of 15 600 pages, having provoked the scandal.

The Government Offensive

Already in 2005 the Saxon Constitutional Court limited the scope of the investigation to the cases, which could jeopardize the democratic basic order of the country – as if the crimes of high ranking officials and magistrates and the threats to journalists and investigators do not constitute a danger for the democratic basic order. The Saxony Data Protection Officer Andreas Schuerig accused the provincial counterespionage in October 2006 of constitutional violations. He even suggested shredding the files. Already in May 2006 the desk “OC” was broken up – exactly like the Commissariat 26 in Leipzig 4 years earlier and for the same reasons. Despite the liquidation of the last structure watching and investigating the OC, its associates continued their activities and this necessitated for the government their quick removal. .

The scandal was instigated by the most loyal governmental troops – the prosecutors. According to the OC desk head Mrs. Simone Henneck (now Skroch) her office submitted the files to the prosecution and the latter, instead of treating them with confidentiality, passed some of them to the press. All published names belong to people, who at the time of the press releases were already inactive. The moment of the leakages coincides with the first deliveries of Hungarian sex slaves to Leipzig against which the presence of low-abiding officials in the town was highly unwanted.

The Saxon government head Georg Milbrandt ahead of any investigations declared that there was no corruption and OC in Saxony and accused the OC desk head Mrs. Henneck of “having magnified the processes with blind passion for hunting and blooming fantasy”. This proven wrong statement was a clear declaration of war against the low-abiding officials and a clear instruction to his subordinates how to behave in the crisis. His minister of Justice Geerth Mackenroth supported his boss by stating that there was no “swamp” in Saxony and thus made clear to the prosecutors and the public how any investigations of the Saxony Affair should end up.   

After the president of the Saxon counterespionage was removed from his position he had to undergo 4 preliminary proceedings and the OC desk head Mrs. Henneck underwent 5 such proceedings.

The government reached its goal – the removal of the low-abiding officials in favour of the organised crime. Since 1994 no member of the OC in Saxony has been tried or sentenced.

However, the government failed to win the propaganda war. All its lies – about the illegal nature of the investigation, about the incompetence of the counterespionage on OC issues and on the unreliability of the gathered by the investigators information fell publicly apart. After 3 years all proceedings against the ex-President Mr. Stock have been closed down due to his proven innocence. This means that the counterespionage has worked in full compliance with the law and professionally. Mr. Stock himself stressed that the OC desk had worked under his close control and he has no critical remarks for its work on the investigation. It is proven that the OC desk had not one but several informers in the City Hall. And most important – two of the former sex slaves in the brothel Jasmin recognized the judge Niemeyer who gave the mild sentence to their pimp (4 years instead of the foreseen by the penalty code 10 – 12 years), and the former chief prosecutor Norbert Roeger as their former clients. The prosecutors have accused them for slender and brought them to court but could not break the courage and the human dignity of the two women who want the process against them to continue so that their innocence is recognized.

The truth is breaking through although according to Mrs. Henneck some important files have been destroyed by the next President of the counterespionage Olaf Vahrenhold.

Very impressive in this scandal is the despotism of the German Justice as already evidenced in the Klockzin case, where for the same crime some got life sentences, others – a fine of DEM 2500 only. This despotism is very well generalized by one of the victims of the murder attempts - Mr. Peter Koeberle in his letter to the Justice Minister Geerth Mackenroth: “The corruption and the legal injustice committed each day against countless citizens are becoming unbearable”. Mr. Koeberle has seen his shooter and up to now, more than 17 years after the attempt, he has been denied the opportunity to testify and the shooter remains at large.

The government did not shun any brutality to support the OC in the province. On July 3, 2007, when Mrs. Henneck collapsed physically and was lying motionless in a carrying, the new leadership of the counterespionage barred the access of the emergency medical workers to her and tried to intimidate her with preliminary proceedings in order to get from her concession for betrayal of secrecy. Two of the investigative journalists have been kidnapped, tortured and mutilated. In their cases the actions of the OC and of the prosecution complimented each other as hammer and anvil. After their mutilation by the OC the prosecutors accused them of numerous crimes, including for self-inflicting their disability for the purpose of getting the respective social benefits. In Saxony now take place 25 preliminary proceedings against 12 journalists who have written against the OC. One journalist is prosecuted for slender after he submitted his information to the provincial criminal police (LKA) and the institution “lost” it.   

Conclusions and lessons

There is a very meaningful detail in the Files Affair in Saxony – the press reports reveal that all Untouchables and their political protectors are West Germans, who have come to the eastern province of Saxony to run it. Thus the Saxon Affair reveals the full dependence and control of the new provinces (from the former East Germany) by the West Germans and the old Bonner Establishment. The Affair shows how under the slogan of introducing democracy and rule of law the Western invaders literally robbed Leipzig and introduced despotism instead of democracy and Organised Crime (OC) instead of rule of law – Organised Crime was unknown and non-existing in the former East Germany. The Files Affair reveals the brutal imposition of the OC in a new province and suppression of the last resistance against the criminalization of the country by the West German establishment. The fact that the Western provinces and the federal government sent “independent” experts who despite the facts and the unrevealed crimes confirmed the lies of the Saxon government leaves no doubt that the main decision makers in Germany not only support the Untouchables and the committed crimes but are at the bottom of the crimes in the Saxon Affair and are their main beneficiaries. Thus the Affair disproves the lie that Saxony is more criminal than the other provinces, particularly the old ones. The only difference between Saxony and these provinces is that in Saxony there has been resistance by some officials, mainly from the apparatus of the former East Germany to the criminalization of the province, while in the West the process of criminalization is completed and no resistance is even thinkable. It turns out that the Saxon swamp is just an areal of the big German swamp.

The Files Affair reveals the full support Organised Crime in Germany enjoys from the state up to its impunity and its role as informal governmental body for the conduct of illegal activities for the purpose of enrichment of politicians and top decision makers.

The Saxon Affair shows the quiet criminal terror, to which the German rulers through the OC and the Justice subdue the German population. The Affair refutes the myths for freedom of the press and rule of law in contemporary Germany. It turns out that they exist only in the propaganda but not in real life.

The Saxon Affair confirms my personal narrative in this blog and reveals astonishing parallels to my own experience. If you follow the comments to my German language blog sexsklaverei.blogspot.com made by the human traders you will see how, exactly like the Saxon investigators, I was first smeared in any possible way and then the prosecutors started their investigation against me. And exactly like with the German journalist they tried to destroy my major evidence and then to sue me for slender, only in my case they did not “lose” it but stole it, and finally did not succeed.  

Most important, the Files Affair confirms my major point – that the modern slavery is the product not simply of organized crime but of the involvement of the modern states, mainly those in Western Europe and North America.

The Saxon Affair points out at the actual developments in whole Eastern Europe, where under the same slogans of introduction of democracy, market economies and rule of law, the West, not directly like in Leipzig, but indirectly, through fully controlled local establishments, ruined and robbed the countries in the region and imposed powerful organized crime for the enslavement of the many East European women which nowadays are mistreated and exploited, just like the Hungarians in Leipzig, throughout the brothels of the West.
