GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY<br />

The reasons (evidence) for our pre-judgments must be testable as well<br />

as possible (empirically falsifiable).<br />

We must both actively and passively test and criticize:<br />

Test and criticize pre-judgments and reasons of others.<br />

Invite others to test and criticize our pre-judgments and welcome<br />

this activity (duty to publish).<br />

Address the tests and critiques of others and test and criticize them<br />

likewise (don’t back down too fast).<br />

We have to avoid immunizing our pre-judgments:<br />

Avoid auxiliary theories.<br />

Select data only according to objective criteria (source criticism).<br />

Use exact, consistent and constant definitions of terms.<br />

Avoid attacks on persons as substitute for factual arguments.<br />

What is Pseudo-Science?<br />

The accusation of pseudo-science is levied against us revisionists as<br />

a foregone conclusion and mostly without any reason or evidence given.<br />

“Pseudo” is Greek and means as much as “false.” For this reason pseudo-science<br />

needs not be defined here, since it is but the complement to<br />

science, of course with gradual transitions. The less the above mentioned<br />

principles are maintained, the worse (more false) is the corresponding<br />

science. 118<br />

Now, the prosecution appears to represent the point of view that<br />

“pseudo-science” needs to be officially prohibited. At least that would<br />

be the consequence, if one raised their principle to a general law, which<br />

is one of the main characteristics of a nation under the rule of laws. This<br />

would be a dangerous path, however. Because according to what I have<br />

presented here, one could and indeed would have to assume the position<br />

that the majority of the established literature regarding the “Holocaust”<br />

is pseudo-scientific, which is also the opinion expressed by such famed<br />

authors as Norman Finkelstein 119 and Raul Hilberg 120 – albeit with other<br />

118 Cf. the more detailed discussion in <strong>Germar</strong> <strong>Rudolf</strong>, Lectures, op. cit. (note 55), pp. 487-496;<br />

<strong>Germar</strong> <strong>Rudolf</strong>, Kardinalfragen, op. cit. (note 47) pp. 143-165; Vierteljahreshefte für freie<br />

Geschichtsforschung 7(3&4) (2003), pp. 403-405, along a different line of arguments yet with a<br />

similar result.<br />

Truth, Metropolitan Books, New York 1998, esp. pp. 88-92; N.G. Finkelstein, The Holocaust<br />

Industry: Reflections of the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering, Verso, London/New York<br />

2000, p. 55: “Articulating the key Holocaust dogmas, much of the literature on Hitler’s ‘final<br />

solution’ is worthless as scholarship.”<br />
