GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY
Yet that is exactly the way one argued during my case in 1994/95
in Stuttgart, when I was sentenced to 14 months imprisonment for
my expert report, and the same pattern of argumentation can be
found again in my present indictment. If the prohibition to contradict
witnesses were to be elevated to a universal law, then the lights
would go out quickly in this country! Or more general still: if nothing
could be said anymore because somebody feels insulted or attacked
in a mere subjective way, then speaking as such would probably
have to be prohibited.

Church, to which I attach no importance at all, as I have left the
Catholic Church.
(At this point State Prosecutor Grossmann makes the following
meaningful interjection: “Oh, come on, don’t assume such an air of importance,
Mr. Rudolf!”)
Hypothetically every opinion which massively contradicts the Powers
That Be or the reigning zeitgeist is capable of disturbing the public
peace under certain circumstances. This undefined term is therefore
suited to suppress every political, scientific, or social dissent. In order to
prevent such an arbitrary, despotic interpretation, it must be stipulated
that the capability of disturbing the public peace must derive directly
from the statements at hand in order to be prosecutable. This means that
the statement has to actively call for or contribute to the disturbance of
the public peace, for instance by calling for armed riots, pogroms, re-
