I wore bulletproof vests, and my bodyguards had the option of having bulletproof vests – I bought five sets.

Had I been in Toronto, I would certainly have been killed in this attack. In the room where I normally sleep, the flames and the smoke and the soot is such that the gases would have killed me.

They have accorded me my constitutional rights, and that is to their credit because the media hate campaign against me has been so intense and so vicious that it’s a miracle that the police have taken such a professional approach.

But as a German – and I am German-born – we Germans are condemned once again to be radical revisionists.

You cannot stoke the fires of prejudice against German people and then not find that somewhere, sometime down the road it doesn’t discharge.

I am not saying that during the Second World War Germany did not, under the leadership of the National Socialist government, commit crimes.

I wore bulletproof vests, and my bodyguards had the option of having bulletproof vests – I bought five sets.

The judge turned his back towards me, sitting back on his judge’s chair, while I was in the witness stand being questioned. The whole courtroom was full of these anarchists, leftists, communists and Jewish lobbyists.

Once you are a victim of a bombing, you enter a risk group to which they will not sell insurance.

What we have to do now is to make the public at large aware that what we’re looking at is not a historical event but – and I have to be brutal and I am going to say it – a racket.

Conquerors never, never conquer a nation to bring freedom. They brought control.

I am, as a European, absolutely shocked by European people. I am also shocked by European nationalist people. They have allowed themselves to be so emasculated so silently.

For an event that was wholly created in the poisonous psychological warfare kitchens of the Second World War, run by the ministries of propaganda in many countries, not just by the British or the Americans, but also the Russians and undoubtedly the world Jewish organizations.

The reason why I have survived as long as I have survived is what my friends, comrades and supporters thought was an extraordinarily cautious approach.
