Arbeit macht frei: - Fredrick Töben

Although my Australian prison term brought to mind similar patterns from
the former incarcerations, it has been the most instructive. My being a
repeat-offender enabled me to adjust to life behind bars relatively easily and
quickly, without suffering any victimhood afflictions of a serious nature, and
thereby to get on with the job of adjusting to a new environment – work on
a prison farm without compromising my personal values.
This journey through the institutions was made possible by the similar
mindset present in eleven judges of the Federal Court of Australia. Their
severely restricted world view, dare I say, suggests a mutated sense of moral
and intellectual courage that enabled them to interfere with my historical
investigations, thereby not really condemning me but rather revealing their
own personal blind spots. These ten men and one woman knew what they
were doing when they supported the legal censoring of an important
historical period called the Holocaust. They merely rubber-stamped a
decision initiated by former Human Rights and Equal Opportunity
Commission commissioner, and still law lecturer in the Faculty of Law at
the University of Adelaide, Kath McEvoy, who on 2 November 2000 found
that my work, as published on Adelaide Institute’s website, because of its
very nature being racist and anti-Semitic, was offensive to Jews.
All nine individuals, seven men and two women, thereby supported an
outright censoring of this historical topic, In mitigating circumstances it is
suggested they may have had a gun to their head and it is self-preservation
that forced them to act the way they did. To that I say, no, that’s not it at all.
These individuals are ignorant of the facts, liars or both. I will not speculate
on whether any of them nurture a hatred for things German. Also, my
maxim holds: Don’t blame the Jews but blame those that bend to their
pressure! These women and men bent to Jewish pressure.
Interestingly, Catherine Branson, the former Federal Court judge,
canvassed her particular brand of human rights compassion at the Feathers
Hotel in the leafy eastern suburb of Burnside. The notice sent to
parishioners read: ‘Hear the sometimes controversial views of The Hon
Catherine Branson QC, President, Australian Human Rights Commission
at the Feathers Hotel on Monday 25 May, 6.30pm for 7.00pm.’. I did not
attend because I was far too busy preparing for the appeal because on 13
May I had just been sentenced by Justice Lander to 3 months in prison and
I needed to drive to Melbourne to liaise with my barrister, David Perkins,
about that.
