Legal notice
Well, I could have published something useful here. Unfortunately, the law requires a "legal notice" instead. It — the law — instructs me to encourage you to read the information provided here carefully from time to time because they are subject to changes without further notice.
I explicitly state that this English website is a self-translated counterpart of my German one, which I consider the "master website" (we Germans looove that kind of stuff, don't we?). Since my English website is written in a language that is not my native tongue and my entire website is hosted on a Germany-based server, in case of disputes and/or discrepancies of any kind, the legal notice of the German section of my website shall govern.

1. General
This website is a private, independently operated, non-commercial Internet presence.
2. Responsible Author
Responsible author of this website: Thomas Wolff. In order to protect my privacy against the partly degenerative excrescences of human habitus on the Internet, I neither publish my address nor any other private data here. However, feel free to contact me any time.
3. Contents of this website
Every single expression of opinion, statement and/or comment on this website represents the website author's personal viewpoint.
Well knowing that in both his once loved homeland, the so-called "Federal Republic of Germany", today a failed state in the author's opinion, under command of the most dangerous political camarilla for this nation since Adolf Hitler's regime, and in his present homeland, beautiful Austria, it may officially be still allowed to freely express ones opinion but — unless uncompromisingly in line with the socio-politically left-orientated, good-doing, tolerance-ridden and gender-lunatic mainstream — in reality inappropriate in order to avoid occupational and social disadvantages, the author tries to depoliticize his statements outside this "legal notice" to the best of his capabilities.
However, due to the fact that in both home countries of the author for the first time since the end of fascism 7 decades ago certain authorities again reserve the right to decide what's right or wrong, he tries to create his Internet presence as pleasantly consumable and inoffensive as possible.
Wherever a standpoint or a socio-political positioning seems inevitable to the author, he refers to article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, proclaimed by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 10 December 1948, which to the best of the author's knowledge still applies at the time of writing, declaring:
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
Resisting all efforts of the organized starry-eyed idealism of "do-gooders" to impose onto everyone the felt obligation to give up his/her very own opinion in spoken, written or pictorial form in favor of the left-green mainstream stand- and viewpoints, in the humble opinion of the author this article implies the right to still freely articulate oneself in any desired and uncensored form about confessions and creeds, and they way they are interpreted and lived out, about organized religions and their institutional places or worship, about political and/or societal ideologies as well as actions and behaviours of governments, institutions, authorities, intelligence agencies, the military of any county on this earth or any living individual.
If the world we live in is a fair and upright one, every human being should be allowed to say whatever he/she wants... however stupid or wrong it may be in the eyes of others. No authoritiy whatsoever should reserve the right to decide what's wright or wrong!
In this context, you may also want to refer to section political correctness.
The author takes no responsibility for the correctness, up-to-dateness, integrity or quality of any information published on this website. Under no circumstances can he be held liable for material or ideational damages caused by using or not using the information provided on this website, or the inability of using them properly, unless the damage was evidently and verifiably caused on purpose or due to gross negligence.
All offers are non-binding and without obligation. The author explicitly reserves the right to change, supplement, edit or delete either parts of or the entire website, or to temporarily or permanently discontinue the publication without any prior announcement.
If the law should change significantly so that the content of this website violates it, the author asks for notification and to be granted the chance to correct the subject of complaint.
4. Political Correctness
Important note: This website is not politically correct. Neither the shown photographs nor the published text are subject to the dictates of the so-called political correctness. A small yet essential detail that may possibly exclude certain people with a specific mind-set and/or ideology from unconditionally and open-mindedly accepting my statements and even the one or other picture. Should you tend towards taking offense at not mainstream-compatibly phrased content, that — devoid of politically, institutionally and societally prescribed language rectification — dares to unroll whenever differentiation of human beings, situations or facts becomes an issue, I strongly advise you to leave this website.
I consider the way political correctness is practiced in today's societies hysterical and repellently dishonest. It's a culture of radical-leftist monopolization of the public opinion, of a government-controlled and institutionally regulated ban on thinking and, often enough, of an unworldly downplaying and organized dazzlement. In the way, political correctness is enforced upon us, it is an instrumentalized self-delusion wrapped in starry-eyed idealism, manifested complacency not having to bother with reality — and eventually an instrument of death for the occasionally inconvenient truth. Under the pretext of political correctness, critics, lateral and, often enough, clear thinkers are forced into the euphemism treadmill, trivialize with levity and silenced in a far too generalized and undifferentiated manner, or, with an astonishing grade of grimness and plenty of inventiveness up to defamation, even socially sidelined. Political correctness has proven to be a highly-effective instrument for regulating, controlling and restricting freedom of speech, and increasingly narrows the range of an acceptable margin of opinion. Hence, political correctness mutates into the inquisition of the 21. century. Where after World War II the stricken peoples dreamt about a world free of repressions, today, 70 years later, an environment of assumptions and suspicions, of assimilation, cringing and moral cowardice dominates, so that the alleged oppressive atmosphere of the fifties today appears like a fresh breeze of sea air.
Submissively and without good reason we arranged ourselves in a system of obedience, of organized verbal and mental gutlessness, employing a fool's language of prophylactic anti-offense euphemisms that de facto paralyzes the entire social environment from top to bottom.
May life ever punish those that are politically incorrect, at least on my website I grant myself the right to tear down the barriers of the articulation regulation mania, wherever applicable, and to escape the language prison that gets institutionally erected around us. Wherever I consider it appropriate and necessary, I deliberately position myself outside this canon of "correct" moral values and openly address facts what were actually tabooed by the language police. Tabooed with reason, because it is very much in the spirit of a system desperately determined to stay in power that the majority of the population, in favor of the overall compliance with the system, step by step abandons more of its own freedom. And this has proven alarmingly effective.
Be it as it may, striving to please everyone is doomed to failure. So, I won't even start trying.
A final word reg. political correctness, directed at our highly valued, us culturally enriching fellow citizens with migration background, particularly to that protected species with an ultraconservative Islamic Creed, which in this part of the world long stands beyond any possibilities of an open and honest assessment, not to mention criticism.
