GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY
On occasion of awarding the Peace Prize of the German Book
Trade 263 to Mrs. Prof. Dr. Annemarie Schimmel in 1995, the former
Federal German President Prof. Dr. Roman Herzog stated the following:
264
“When we enter into a dialog with one another, we bring along
some essential, non-negotiable things. Among them are freedom of
speech and more than anything else that no one comes to harm on
account of his convictions. A long, often bloody and gruesome history
has taught us in Europe that these rights must never again be subject
to negotiation.”
At that time I probed further and asked the President whether he is
willing to take a stand for freedom of speech for revisionist scientists.
And here is his response which he sent to me: 265
“Herr President has received your letter of 4 December [1995,
GR]. He asks you to understand that he will not permit being instrumentalized
as intended by you.”
Look at those hypocrites! During celebratory speeches they pay lip
service, but when it comes down to the matter, they wimp out!
George Orwell once said fittingly: 266
“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people
what they do not want to hear.”
Freedom means in particular the right to tell the Powers That Be
what they least want to hear. For every dictatorship allows expressing
those opinions which don’t bother the Powers That Be or with which
they even agree. Hence that cannot be the yardstick by which to measure
a free and open society.
Of course reasons are given why it is allegedly necessary to make
exceptions for the topic dealt with here, hence to ignore civil and human
rights. About this I want to quote a jurist who has thoroughly analyzed
the problems surrounding article 130 of the German Penal Code, namely
a former colleague of yours, Herr Schwab, 267 the retired Presiding
Judge at the District Court Günther Bertram. He has authored an article
with the title “The State under the Rule of Law and the Amended Law
on Incitement of the Masses,” 268 which appeared in the German law
263 Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels.
