Resistance

GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORYdestroyed by the ton. Only little can be learned about that from the media.Conclusion:After a decade of increased attention regarding issues of contemporaryhistory and the political problems linked to this, I view as seriouslyrestricted in Germany the fundamental rights of freedom to form andexpress an opinion as well as the independence of the judiciary, as theyare statutory by the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany,despite all hair-splitting legal justifications. Offenders are politicallypersecuted. How mercilessly this is perpetrated has just recently becomeclear once more due to the fate of University Professor Dr. WernerPfeiffenberger, who all of a sudden had gotten into the crosshairs ofmedia and judiciary for a candid statement about the current terroragainst certain views and who committed suicide in May of last year toescape further persecution.The following quotation is assigned to the British European CommissionerSir Leon Brittan:“If we have laws prohibiting people to say things, even if they areevidently wrong, then may God help us.”In Germany such laws exist, and citizens are sentenced relentlesslywithout any verification of the veracity of their statements. One can onlyhope that an acceptable way out can be found from this dilemma.Königsbronn, 22 Nov. 2000(signed) Professor Dr. Ing. H-K. Meier(passport and U.S. visa data)331
