GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY
annually in the report of the German Agency for the Protection of the
Constitution (Bundesverfassungsschutzbericht), each year some 10,000
criminal investigations are initiated in Germany on account of “propaganda
offenses,” that is, for nothing other than expressing opinions
which displease the authorities. In his novel 1984, George Orwell calls
this class of offense “crimethink.”
A particular type of federal German thought crimes is “incitement of
the masses.” Crime statistics show that one can be found guilty of that
offense almost exclusively if one is considered to be a “right-winger,”
as a result of which “right-wingers” are overrepresented in these statistics
by a factor of around 10 to 20:1 when compared to “left-wingers.”
Now the first quotation from our unnamed author:
“Another very important thing about the courts today: there is no
tape recorder, no stenographer, just a thick-fingered secretary with
the leisurely penmanship of an eighteenth-century schoolgirl, laboriously
recording some part of the proceedings in the transcript.
This record is not read out during the session, and no one is allowed
to see it until the judge has looked it over and approved it. Only
what the judge confirms will remain on record, will have happened
in court. While things that we have heard with our own ears vanish
like smoke – they never happened at all!” (3/521)
When we compare the Federal German court procedure with this, we
are forced to conclude that the German court system is even worse,
since in proceedings before a District Court, just as the present case, no
protocol is kept at all about who says what and when. Over there you
can see the court reporter sitting at his computer, but all he is doing the
whole time while I am talking here, is to play with his mouse, giving a
little click here and a little click there. Absolutely no protocol is kept
here. You yourselves as judges might make your own little personal
notes now and again, but they are of necessity rudimentary and furthermore
made at your own personal discretion.
This complete lack of a protocol opens the floodgates to error and
arbitrariness and enables you as judges to perfectly immunize your verdict
against any attempt at refutation, because how can anyone prove
what took place here in the courtroom?
Judges are just humans, and hence they cannot possibly keep everything
in their heads which goes on during a trial. This alone is a good
reason to make verbal records obligatory.
