Resistance

GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORYme because I had no recognized reputation. First they ostracize a researcheron account of his inconvenient arguments and destroy his reputation,then after this fait accompli they allege that they no longer needto discuss his arguments because of his bad reputation. It is probablydifficult to outdo such malice. 116Ex. 4: As the last example I would like to offer the Presiding Judgeof 6th Superior Penal Chamber of the local Mannheim District Court,Dr. Meinerzhagen. In his response to my objection against my arrestwarrant, Judge Meinerzhagen stated basically that my works could notbe scientific in nature already because I allegedly harbor reprehensiblepolitical or religious views. 117 This, too, is an impermissible attack onmy person, which – and I mention this only in passing – must not play arole in a court of law, since according to Germany’s Basic Law it is unconstitutionalto treat individuals disadvantageously on account of their– actual or merely alleged – world view or religious views.Since the entangling of the question of whether a work is scientificin nature with characteristics of its author could play a role during thistrial as well, I may now approach the subject more closely, although Iam thankful to the prosecutor that he did not include Dr. Meinerzhagen’saccusation in the indictment.Allow me first to remind you of two simple facts:First Fact: The degree to which a work is scientific in nature is afeature of that work.Second Fact: The political and religious views of an author are featuresof that author.The features of an author, the creator of the work, do of course influencethe features of the work as well. In what way and to what extentthis is true, however, cannot be determined from the author, but ratherfrom features of the work itself.In order to illustrate what that means in concrete terms, allow me toagain present several examples.Ex. 1: The Greek philosopher Plato has long been dead, and weknow nothing about him except what is contained in his works.
