Arbeit macht frei: - Fredrick Töben

the German pigs’. We alighted at Mather’s newsagency at Macedon, and as
my brother and I were about to walk home Remikis taunted us again. My
brother, who was stronger than me looked at the fellow who was also taller
than us, lunged at him and brought him down in one of his special headlocks.
Usually among normal individuals, when a person is down the aggressive
instinct recedes, which happened in my brother. It was enough for him to see
the all huff-and-puff pretty boy lie there defeated. But this fellow needed to
be taught a lesson and so I urged my brother to hit him so that evidence of
the battle would be carried over into the next day. That night my father
received a call from the local police because the Töben twins had been
reported for assault. When my father explained the verbal abuse that had
preceded the fight no further action was taken by the police.
This was a time when police could settle petty disputes without having to do
a report. Police had discretionary powers and that was good because they
lived within the community they had been ordered to protect.
The next day Remikis sported black eyes and from then on he left us alone
and no-one ever again bothered us about our German background.

The next day, before lunch, I walked to the Farm Office to meet with Mr
Fairley and to suggest I could paint the various signs that line the walking
track. He promised to give it consideration and that I would be advised.
That evening we watched ABC-TV’s ‘4 Corners’ program, which featured
Dr Kallestrom, who spoke about 7/7 and the other conspiracy theories,
making the obvious comment that the official 9/11 conspiracy theory that a
bunch of Arabs did it, cannot be sustained anymore. He thought Britain’s
Public Order Act coming into force would make it possible to quell
dissenting views on the pretext that any counter theory would disturb the
public peace. Germany has a similar law, which is used to stifle dissent
about Holocaust matters. That Kallestrom is a danger to public order stems
from the fact he challenges the official Holocaust narrative’s truth content.
Tuesday, 1 September: Apparently I terrorise my cellmate with my snoring.
I showed no mercy, because when someone who snores disturbs me I wake
them up to the point where it is not a dream for them. I expect to be
treated in the same way!
