Joan Meyer correctly linked Gideon Cody raid on Marion County Record to Kristallnacht

Earlier this year, I traveled to Marion in Kansas, United States, for the anniversary of the raid on the Marion County Record.

We watched the documentary about the raid, Unwarranted: The Senseless Death of Journalist Joan Meyer which was produced by Jaime Green and Travis Heying. The moment where Joan Meyer called the police nazis jumped out at me. I made a mental note to include it here in the nazi.compare web site but I wanted to review it carefully and give it the justice it deserves.

I opened up the video on the anniversary of the Kristallnacht and the evidence jumped out at me. I don't think anybody has noticed it before but Joan was right on the money about nazi stuff.

The Kristallnacht occurred on the night of 9 to 10 November 1938. It was a giant pogrom by Nazi party members. The police did not participate but they didn't try to stop it either.

However, the Jewish press were not attacked during the Kristallnacht.

In fact, Hitler's Nazis attacked the Jewish press on the previous night, 8 November.

Looking at the body cam footage where Joan Meyer accuses Gideon Cody and his police colleagues of "nazi stuff", we can see a time and date stamp at the bottom right corner. The date of the raid is written in the United States date format, Month/Day/Year, 08/11/2023 which was 11 August 2023. When we see the date 08/11/2023 in Europe, for example, in Germany, we would interpret that as Day/Month/Year, in other words, that is how Europeans and Germans write 8 November 2023, the day that Nazis raided the Jewish press in advance of the Kristallnacht.

Jewish publications banned

 

Here is the section of the video where Joan Meyer makes the Nazi comment, look at the date stamp at the bottom right corner, it is 08/11/2023 as in 8 November for Europe:

FSFE censored communications from the elected representatives

While thinking about the way the Nazis gave these censorship orders the night before the Kristallnacht, I couldn't help thinking about the orders from Matthias Kirschner and Heiki Lõhmus at FSFE when they wanted to censor communications from the elected Fellowship representatives.

Berlin police have declined to help FSFE shut down web sites that are making accurate FSFE / Nazi comparisons.

This policy determines conditions and rights of the FSFE bodies (staffers,
GA members, local and topical teams) or members of the FSFE community to to
mass mail registered FSFE community members who have opted in to receive
information about FSFE's activities.

## Definitions
For the purpose of this document: * all registered FSFE community members who have opted in to receive information about FSFE's activities are referred to as "recipients". * mass emails that we send out to recipients are referred to as "mailings". * mailings that are only sent to recipients who live in a certain area (a municipality or a language zone or similar) or that are part of a topical team are referred to as "select mailings" and mails to all recipients of the FSFE are referred to as "overall mailings".
## Considerations
* Mailings should be sent to better integrate our community in important aspects of our work, which can be for example - but is not limited to - information about critical happenings that we need their input or activity for, milestones we have achieved and thank you's, engagement in the inner FSFE processes and fundraising. * Mailings should be properly balanced between delivering information and getting to the point. * Mailings should contain material/information that can be considered worth of our supporters' interests. * Mailings are not to spread general news - that is what we have the newsletter and our news items for. * You can find help on editing mailings by reading through our press release guidelines: https://wiki.fsfe.org/Internal/PressReleaseGuide * All community members are invited to use select mailings for evaluations, to inform about certain aspects of FSFE's work, to organise events and activities or other extraordinary purposes.
## Policies
* Mailings must not be against FSFE's interests and conform to our Code of Conduct. * All overall mailings have to involve the PR team behind pr@lists.fsfe.org for a final edit. In urgent cases, review by the PR team may be skipped with approval of the responsible authority. * All select mailings need approval by the relevant country or topical team coordinator or - in absence - by the Community Coordinator or the Executive Council. * All overall mailings need the approval of the Executive Council. * All mailings need to be reviewed by someone with the authority to approve the mailing. Nobody may review or approve a mailing they have prepared on their own.
