IS IT ALL ABOUT FREE SPEECH?
By

Published June 12, 2020
No matter what the media says: The United States of America is
still the greatest nation in the world. Or why do you think that
so many people want to come to this country, even risking arrest
for crossing the border illegally? I came to this country in
1984 – having to fill out lots of paperwork and answering many
questions. And I’m happy to live here!
One of the first things my father-in-law told me: “You’re not in
Europe any more. Here you don’t argue with police officers. You
say: “Yes, Sir” or “No, Sir” – accept the ticket and argue later
with the judge.” I followed his advice – and it worked real
well.
One of the main reasons for this statement: The 1. Amendment
to the Constitution: FREE SPEECH!
And I like to use this right given to me by the US Constitution
in a peaceful manner! Free speech doesn’t mean you have to say
something that is political correct – but it shouldn’t contain
violence. Free speech means just that: FREE SPEECH!
Remember: In this country you can even outright lie and slander
other people – if you are a member of the US Congress. That’s
pretty unique!
Nothing wrong with peaceful demonstrations, but free speech
doesn’t mean violence, looting, burning down buildings or even
killing people. That’s TERROR – not Free Speech.
If you know the history of the world, please remember how the
dictatorships in Europe started in the 1920’s and 30’s: Terror
on the streets! Hitler’s brown-shirts and Mussolini’s
black-shirts used the same methods as ANTIFA:
TERROR ON THE STREETS!
There has always been injustice in this world – be it by race,
religion or politics -- and in my opinion that will not change –
even if terrorists (disguised as demonstrators) burn down whole
cities.
There are bad apples in every profession – and that will never
change! Remember the FBI? Remember other government agencies?
You see bad apples even among demonstrators! We have seen it all
over the years.
Now some morons want to defund our police force. Are there some
more idiotic ideas out there? How should that help the cause? Or
is it the intention of these lunatics to make it easier for
criminals and terrorists to break the law? Many US citizens got
scared seeing the events of last week. Or how else can the
sudden increase of gun sales be explained? Is that the kind of
society we want to live in?
The world isn’t perfect, but we should all work PEACEFULLY
together to make it a better place!

Jan Bergemann is president of Cyber Citizens For Justice,
Florida
's largest state-wide property owners' advocacy group.
CCFJ works on legislation to help owners living in
community

associations. He moved to
Florida
in 1995 - hoping to retire. He moved into a HOA, where the
developer cheated the homeowners and used the association dues
for his own purposes. End of retirement!
CCFJ was born in the year 2000, when some owners met in
Tallahassee
- finding out that power is only in numbers. Bergemann was a
member of Governor Jeb Bush's HOA Task force in 2003/2004.
The organization has two websites to inform interested
Florida
homeowners and condo owners:
News Website: http://www.ccfj.net/.
Educational Website: http://www.ccfjfoundation.net/.
We think that only owners can really represent owners, since all
service providers surely have a different interest! We are
trying to create owner-friendly laws, but the best laws are
useless without enforcement. And enforcement is totally lacking
in
Florida
!
