"But when it suddenly cooked up in the summer heat, when it turned really hot and aggressive, I got scared shitless for quite some time." "Just tell me one precise example Where this Austrian government since its formation has committed a crime against the human rights." "Where they have invited any racist hatred!" "If you could kindly tell us just one example in front of these microphones..." "But you can't!" "You've got right-wing populists in your government." "There are racist slogans all over the place, which come directly from this government." "Who afteM/ards just tell:" ""Oh my, we didn't say - that!"" "Haider is not part of the government!"

"And St.Stephan's cathedral also still is there!" "I only felt scared of these things happening once on the Friday." "Standing on the roof l thought of a sudden, the way things happen right now with all these calls and threats... lf this really was a movie, there is place in the story for a sniper on the other roof or someone making a drastic example" "Everything could have happened."

"This is for sure." "and many now heat up to his provocations." "This also is for sure." "But let me state my opinion:" "the only real provocation in our time is that we still have to deal with late traces of the Middle Ages!" "And these traces are any form of racism and xenophobia today!" "This is what we have to leave behind!" "Please police!" "Viva international solidarity!" "Nazis out!" "Free the refugees, please!" "I really felt scared when the activists stormed the container." "Theyjust crashed in with that hippie-idea in their heads:" "We need to free those people!"

"And the situation was how to get them down from the roof again, before it breaks in and 20 or 30 of them have broken legs or worse." "I have witnessed it myself, when the weekly Thursday demonstration stepped into the Schlingensief-trap with their activists completely off the chain." "At once they started to demonstrate for a clean Austria." "They cleaned Austria by destroying the revelatory stigmata." "I conceived that as very frightening." "That these people are ruled by certain blindness, so they cannot see what they are really heading for ." "And that their roles are immediately changing when they step into the public stage." "They acted out of the intention to reconstruct the image of a clean Austria." "Notjust simply some Austria, but the image of a purified Austria." "So up to a point they acted on the same level as the Krone Newspaper did, wanting the same outcome." "Free the people!" "The people really are frightened in there!" "After the activists were standing on top and inside of the container I negotiated that six of them should build a delegation to talk with the refugees." "Then those six came and held speeches:" "We want to liberate you!" "We want to bring you freedom!" "We are from the anti-fascistic front!" "Now they all will be freed!" "The refugees have to be evacuated out of security reasons." "Deportation is murder!" "Deportation is killing!" "Are they all away now?" "The liberation of the refugees has happened!" "And it was not the government freeing them!" "It was the population!" "Therefore I am thanking all of you!" "Bye!" "Resistance!" "It may be embarrassing for the Viennese resistance groups." "But the reality is, that this event had initiated much more political fuzz then they managed to raise in mo previous months of protest." "After a furious beginning the demos had withered more and more." "And no ideas to build the protest for new were happening anymore." "Does this mean, all is finished now?" "Was this the finale?" "May we leave some flyers?" "What's up now?" "is everything over?" "We insist you come to the demo ne_ Thursday!" "The embassy for weary citizens down at city hall!" "Cause we had the container there a lot earlier!" "Since the February 9th!" "You just have to come!" "We also will be there!" "But we have to ask mommy!" "This is our new home anmay!" "The whole event here was to bug the FPÖ in the first place, right?" "So they would say:" "Our flag is parading from such a shithive?" "And now those, who are against this party, pull it all down!" "I screamed around like mad:" "You'll do the FPÖ a pleasure, when you're taking that away!" "They have become part of the play without recognizing it." "Or perhaps they even recognized it." "But they never got it, that this whole event was against the right." "Yes, that was the provocation like Christoph has said:" "How long can this sentence survive in public!" "It wasn't really meant that way , right?" "Foreigners out!" "This was only a provocation..." "To check out how long may this keep hanging!" "And our government stupidos have accepted that.." "Without getting it." "But then the demo gloriously..." "Yeah!" "But isn't it much better to keep this picture up for a full ten weeks to oppose the government instead of tearing it down?" "It's stupid!" "Freedom for the refugees?" "When they get out of here, what kind of freedom, you think, will be there to find?" "They thought you would kill them!" "What was on your minds?" "They don't know no German!" "All that screaming out there!" "The hullabaloo!" "The fighting all around!" "They thought, this would be their end!" "Are you the leader of this bunch of imbeciles?" "Not one leader's left of them anmay, ey?" "Just a bunch of bored idiots, destroying everything in sight!" "Oh, we just wandered down Ballhaus-Square as as we heard the people..." "Deciding to storm the container." "And I just said:" "let's look what happens!" "And then it took eternities until the demo started marching." "And I just said:" "I really need to watch this now and so I went there!" "And 15 minutes later the demo happened to pass by!" "The Indians stormed the buildings." "The refugees had fled." "The event had ended." "It would have been the biggest mistake to do it that way!" "Please pull it more towards the middle!" "There is a double "s" in there!" "That looks like SS!" "It's not good for Austria, when people can see that SS-people are living here!" "The SS-insignia are forbidden!" "Don't ever let SS be read up there!" "They will claim we did that on purpose!" "We had to somehow try to maintain autonomy in bemeen all these positions." "Bemeen the left, that patted on your back." "Bemeen the right, who wished you god knows where." "Ifwe had terminated the event at this point, we would have played the joker to the lefties" "And I don't want to permit a self-deceiving demonstration culture the right to the finale." "You just have to wreck that." "In the morning it was..." "I can't even remember what I did that night." "If I had dreamed at all." "Normally I dream a lot." "But at that morning I woke up and couldn't even reach my slippers." "It cracked and crumbled underneath my skin, like I had completely dried out." "There was nothing in there anymore." "Then I dragged myself back to the square." "And when I arrived there, pure hell was happening." "The whole thing had restarted." "It was the need of this thing." "It was this fast breeder." "It was this power plant." "These fuel rods deep inside Vienna itself." "It didn't want to be shut down." "Schröder and Chirac were kissing all overjust yesterday!"

"I'm talking like my mouth is grown and I say:" "Dear colleague, you can fucking lick my butt hole!" "You know what's the Viennese expression for that?" "Kiss me in the valley of the winds!" "So this is my closing statement for this long day:" "God bless Austria!" "The way it has been told since way back then:" "God bless Austria!" "For sure, there were people that said, it would have been better;" "this event had never taken place." "This is clear." "But to prohibit such manifestations" " l don't want to call this art - would have been far worse than letting things just go like they were going." "If the Krone Newspaper wouldn't have jumped on it, the whole thing would have drowned in the public mind." "Due to lack of provocation." "Due to lack of artistry." "I think, the Krone just explicitly wanted to stake their claims on a clean and properAustrian super nation." "Like the song in "First April 2000":" "The sun shines for everyone the same!" "WhyAustria is the one to blame?"" "The Krone just wanted to make that point clear, how they dominate the scenery ." "And it doesn't fucking matter if it's a SPÖ or FPÖ or ÖVP:" "the Krone is the Krone and that is the main party of the country ." "And whoever buys that paper in the morning, votes for that party." "And there is nothing to stop that process." "This is the way I believe things to be." "What we normally believe to be the ruling power isn't." "Yellow press is the only real party out there." "Foreigners out!" is a virulent instigation of the public!" "I am sick of apologizing to my friends from abroad, that they can read this "Foreigners out" up there!" "But you need not to apologize for something that's true!" "Foreigners out!" "Foreigners out!" "You are a fascist lefty!" "I reckon the most characteristic development is, that the FPÖ-people have become fashionable." "They have got the power now." "They are all over the society pages." "They dominate the lifestyle mags." "They are the new idols." "Some years ago it has been just Haider , who was that sassily worshipped pop icon, that bold little chap, who dares talking back at any cost." "Who bungee-jumps from the highest bridges."

"These are real asylum seekers." "Real illegals, seeking official permission to stay." "Europe has reacted emotionally, because Europe couldn't imagine how it comes, that 50 years past second world war someone like this could openly participate in a civilized European government." "This reaction of Europe is legitimate and we would be disgusted if Europe hadn't reacted that way." "Honorable Mister Haider we seriously want to invite you to a conversation with the asylum seekers." "This date would definitely need your participation and is of greatest importance, because it serves the communication and collaboration within Europe." "Cordially yours, Christoph Schlingensief" "After all we had also offered the stage to Haider." "The Krone papers completely shot off range with that." "It only occured that there would have been equality of arms." "That was a setting he could not accept by all means." "Equality of arms for the first time." "And then he chickened out." "You got to believe that:" "Haider had chickened out!" "The Krone completely missed the point in saying, this just was leftist group hysteria the stage also was open to the right-wingers." "Even for the head of them lt then turned into a propaganda forum for the left." "But it was not intended that way ."

"Democracy?" "That means decision of the majority!" "Therefore it is completely democratic to decide by majority to get rid of democracy!" "A pe_ect thought by all logic!"
