| #5 perhaps it has always been the way but lawfare is the way people attack each other in Western society now. We have successfully stomped out violence as a dispute resolution method - anybody who hits or physically attacks someone has their life ruined with a criminal record. But cunning people who wish ill on others now wage lawfare. They simply use the law as a weapon of assault. They can do it by, for example, making up lies about people and telling police: he/she abused me. he/she raped me when i was drunk he/she sexually harassed me at work he/she is stalking me There doesn't have to be any validity. Any person who is alone in a room with any other person in our societies is at risk of that person turning on them and making malicious allegations. If that person wants to. Most normal people don't want to. But sometimes people decide for some reason or other they don't like you and then: watch out. same for politics. Islamists use lawfare to fight |

| #4 This is not Elisabeth being prosecuted. I am just a proxy. What is burdening me is the burden of history. I am part of history now. I am doing this for millions and millions of people in the Western world, in Europe, in the US, in Canada, who are also champions of freedom, freedom of speech, human rights. An obvious hate-monger. Good thing the Austrian attorney general is on the job! |

| #3 I think Europe has already fallen into the hands of the Islamists; they just don't know it yet. |
