Resistance

GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY4. Arbitrary Interpretation of Terms (Immunization againstCriticism)As the last point of my judicial observations I want to talk about theinterpretation of terms used by German judges and prosecutors, as theyare common in cases like mine. These interpretations are marked bytotal arbitrariness, as I will show in the following, which by the way isan illegitimate tactic of immunization against criticism, as I have shownin the context of science. The terms subsequently quoted and discussedcan be found literally in my indictment:a. The prosecution of dissident Holocaust researchers, writers, or publishersis rationalized by claiming that their writings “incite to hatred”“in a way capable of disturbing public peace,” that they “insult,”“maliciously expose to disdain,” “denigrate,” and/or “disparage”by, among other things, “denying” historical events or by representingthem “consciously against the truth.”b. The German term used in this context for “denial” – “leugnen” –means to deny something against better knowledge, hence insinuatesknowledge of the truth and conscious statements against it. Yet nocourt has the capability to find out what an individual was consciouslyaware of during an activity in the past. But most of all it isbeyond the competence and authority of a court to determine what istrue or what a citizen has to consider to be true. “Consciouslyagainst the truth” is therefore the most absurd phrase of the Germanjurisprudence, which seriously thinks it can determine historicaltruth and consciousness by verdicts. One cannot treat history likethat in courtrooms.c. A writing isn’t already “insulting, disparaging, offensive, libelous,denigrating, or mind-poisoning” just because a reader subjectivelyfeels that way. That is particularly true for writings containing opinionswhich are considered to be totally erroneous by a majority oreven to be a breach of a taboo. Because even if those opinions consideredto be totally erroneous are presented absolutely soberly, theystill have a very emotional effect on the reader due to their eccentricityor because they violate a taboo. Historical examples of novelviews are galore which were initially regarded as completely erroneousand which had an extreme emotional effect despite being presentedsoberly.136
