En lieu of an obituary for Helmut Kohl (ex-Chancellor of Germany)

He stood out on the world stage in his time when he ruled Germany from
1982. He liked to be seen as the architect of German re-unifcation, even wanted
a Nobel Prize for it.
Less well known is that he also insisted it was his right to be a liar in the German Parliament. When it emerged that corruption needed to be investigated in
the Parliament relating to why the French government got Leuna-Minol(refinery gas stations) assets without paying he stood there and said: do not have to tell
you the truth here because I am not under oath and you do not have the power
to put me under oath. The investigation was half hearted anyway, never had
any consequences but the Germany wide network of corrupt activities shown in
one of the reports of 1,000 pages was absolutely staggering. Like all matters of
German corruption there is never a consequence; only very rarely someone is in
the dock for tax evasion, never for the dirty deed itself.
16 days before the Berlin Wall fell on November 1989, Kohl visited the French
President Mitterrand in Paris where they agreed on a Europewide currency after
re-unifcation, what we now know as the Euro. Other things must have been arranged, too, or New York Times journalist David Brooks would not have said on PBS
TV in 2011 nd this time we have no Mitterrand to help us (it was spring in Arabia).
I had always assumed that the collusion between Kohl and Mitterrand to
deprive the owners of land in the former east like myself must have been known to
the US surveillance system, but Brooks confirmed that there was even an active
role in the Grand Theft by the Kohl-Regime. Approximately 2,500 Minol allottments
were expropriated in favour of elf Aquitaine just like Lenin expropriated property
in 1919, without compensation. That would be against the German law, especially the constitution, but people like Kohl and his accessories dont care because
like footballers and VW today, they have no sense that corruption is not a victimless
crime. Corruption in Germany is just a winning formula.
My brother and I were some of those owners who had their property taken
without compensation because we could not afford to take the Kohl government to court for breach of constitution. These things take 7 years and the high
value of the land which attracted the thieves in Bonn and Paris in the first place
meant that court costs are unaffordable. Self-representation is verboten.
My late brother in Berlin fell on hard times after becoming unemployed at
age 52. The appartment building was sold and earmarked for gentrification in
2008. Two fires occurred 7 days before the tradies were due, and my brother died
in the first fire. Whether he committed suicide or the heavies from the landlord
came in the middle of the night and spread the petrol in his flat in Ansbacher
Strasse 61on that 23rd June 2008 will never be known. German authorities dont
investigate when its only an old unemployed who dies. My late brother would
have been able to buy himself a small apartment in Berlin from his share of the
land that the Kohl-Regime deprived us of. He would not have been at the mercy
of this landlord and their gentrification. The death of my brother is directly linked
to the evil deeds of Helmut Kohl, his cronies, Mitterrand and his cronies. including
US-cronies. I tried to find out from David Brooks what he meant with ... Mitterrand
to help us but he is incommunicado, not surprising. Who likes to have their dirty
deeds looked at by a victim? Why is it that in real life, evil always triumphs over
good? If that is democracy, the US and Germany can shove it and it is no surprise
that many people, including me have lost their faith in it.
Soon, there will be one evildoer less in this world - Kohl is not worth shedding a tear.
