Resistance

GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORYIV. RemedyAlready the German Basic law touches upon the fact that a right toresist exists only if no other remedy is possible. Mahatma Gandhi arguedsimilarly: 234“Before a transition to civil disobedience is permissible, all parliamentarymeans to remove the injustice must have been exhausted.”Hence I want to explain now that “other remedies” are indeed nolonger possible, and this not only with regard to parliamentary means,as Gandhi has demanded, but also with judicial, human rights, public,scholarly, or media means.1. Parliamentary RemedyActs of the German parliament are unfortunately the primary reasonfor the violation of civil rights, because the unconstitutional laws passedby the Bundestag have been enacted specifically in order to penalizehistorical dissent and even more explicitly in order to suppress a dislikedpolitical opposition. 235Petitions to the Bundestag are being fobbed off with cheap commonplacephrases, as for instance in the case of a complaint against theillegal interpretation of the principle of “self-evidence” (article 244 ofthe German Penal Law) by the German judiciary. 236 The answer of thepetition committee basically stated that the judiciary, when interpretingthe Penal Law verbally, must not apply the principle of “self-evidence”as they do. But that doesn’t change the fact that they do it anyway, andthey do this with the full and expressed backing of this parliament.When objecting that article 130 German Penal Code is nowadaysused to illegally restrict freedom of science, the German Member ofParliament Horst Eylmann merely stated in a typical manner that the“necessary scholarly pursuit of historical Holocaust research” would bedefended by the German Federal Constitutional High Court, if need234 Quoted acc. to M. Blume, op. cit. (note 215), p. 260; allegedly from Young India, 9 June 1920,but I did not find it in CWMG online.235 The two tightenings of Germany’s censorship laws (art. 130) in 1994 and 2005, designed tosuppress revisionism, were both triggered by controversial public statements on Third Reichhistory by party officials of the heavily ostracized German right-wing radical party NPD, whothe German political establishment has been trying to ban for decades, so far without success.236 See about this the 5th lecture of my Lectures, op. cit.
