GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY
me because I had no recognized reputation. First they ostracize a researcher
on account of his inconvenient arguments and destroy his reputation,
then after this fait accompli they allege that they no longer need
to discuss his arguments because of his bad reputation. It is probably
difficult to outdo such malice. 116
Ex. 4: As the last example I would like to offer the Presiding Judge
of 6th Superior Penal Chamber of the local Mannheim District Court,
Dr. Meinerzhagen. In his response to my objection against my arrest
warrant, Judge Meinerzhagen stated basically that my works could not
be scientific in nature already because I allegedly harbor reprehensible
political or religious views. 117 This, too, is an impermissible attack on
my person, which – and I mention this only in passing – must not play a
role in a court of law, since according to Germany’s Basic Law it is unconstitutional
to treat individuals disadvantageously on account of their
– actual or merely alleged – world view or religious views.
Since the entangling of the question of whether a work is scientific
in nature with characteristics of its author could play a role during this
trial as well, I may now approach the subject more closely, although I
am thankful to the prosecutor that he did not include Dr. Meinerzhagen’s
accusation in the indictment.
Allow me first to remind you of two simple facts:
First Fact: The degree to which a work is scientific in nature is a
feature of that work.
Second Fact: The political and religious views of an author are features
of that author.
The features of an author, the creator of the work, do of course influence
the features of the work as well. In what way and to what extent
this is true, however, cannot be determined from the author, but rather
from features of the work itself.
In order to illustrate what that means in concrete terms, allow me to
again present several examples.
Ex. 1: The Greek philosopher Plato has long been dead, and we
know nothing about him except what is contained in his works. Ques-
