Resistance

GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORYF. ConclusionI have repeatedly emphasized here the publishing principles I haveas a publisher: None of my publications denies human rights to others,advocates or justifies this. This does not preclude that I have publisheditems with whose contents I did not agree, as long as this overarchingprinciple was kept. In this way I have acted in the sense of Voltaire,who wrote – and I quote from memory: 259“I detest what you say, but I will defend to the death your right tosay it.”I may demonstrate with an example that this sometimes applied tomy activities as well. In the mid 1990s a book by Johannes Peter Neywas published with the title The Cursed Anti-Semitism, written underthe pseudonym Harold Cecil Robinson. 260 In those days I got into a disputewith Herr Ney about this book, as the essence of its contents, itslanguage style as well as its entire tendency were repulsive to me. Butwhen the book was confiscated, 261 I nevertheless and deliberately postedit as an electronic file on my website, whose objective it is to breakthe backbone of German censorship. 262 I did this, because, even thoughI disliked the book, it nonetheless was within the limits of my primeprinciple. And I therefore decided that, although I detest Ney’s opinion,I would nevertheless defend with my life or here in concrete terms withmy freedom his right to say it publicly.Prof. Faurisson once said that he is like a bird whose nature it is tosing. Even if he were locked up in a cage, he would still not stop singing.And that is the way I am as well. It is part of my character, of mypersonality, yes, it is even in my genes that I cannot keep my mouthshut, that I have to express my opinion, in particular if I think I perceiveinjustice. Nothing will silence me then. Just as a Negro cannot help beingblack, I cannot help it that I have to speak my mind. To punish thisis as unfair as to punish a Negro for being black.259 Although it seems to have been misattributed, see http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Voltaire, accordingto which these words “were first used by Evelyn Beatrice Hall, writing under the pseudonymof Stephen G Tallentyre in The Friends of Voltaire (1906), as a summation of Voltaire’sbeliefs on freedom of thought and expression.”260 Der verdammte Antisemitismus, Verlag Neue Visionen, Würenlos, Switzerland.261 During the trial against the publisher of Ney’s book Gerhard Förster in Switzerland.262 www.vho.org/D/va.209
