Resistance

GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY The reasons (evidence) for our pre-judgments must be testable as wellas possible (empirically falsifiable). We must both actively and passively test and criticize: Test and criticize pre-judgments and reasons of others. Invite others to test and criticize our pre-judgments and welcomethis activity (duty to publish). Address the tests and critiques of others and test and criticize themlikewise (don’t back down too fast). We have to avoid immunizing our pre-judgments: Avoid auxiliary theories. Select data only according to objective criteria (source criticism). Use exact, consistent and constant definitions of terms. Avoid attacks on persons as substitute for factual arguments.What is Pseudo-Science?The accusation of pseudo-science is levied against us revisionists asa foregone conclusion and mostly without any reason or evidence given.“Pseudo” is Greek and means as much as “false.” For this reason pseudo-scienceneeds not be defined here, since it is but the complement toscience, of course with gradual transitions. The less the above mentionedprinciples are maintained, the worse (more false) is the correspondingscience. 118Now, the prosecution appears to represent the point of view that“pseudo-science” needs to be officially prohibited. At least that wouldbe the consequence, if one raised their principle to a general law, whichis one of the main characteristics of a nation under the rule of laws. Thiswould be a dangerous path, however. Because according to what I havepresented here, one could and indeed would have to assume the positionthat the majority of the established literature regarding the “Holocaust”is pseudo-scientific, which is also the opinion expressed by such famedauthors as Norman Finkelstein 119 and Raul Hilberg 120 – albeit with other118 Cf. the more detailed discussion in Germar Rudolf, Lectures, op. cit. (note 55), pp. 487-496;Germar Rudolf, Kardinalfragen, op. cit. (note 47) pp. 143-165; Vierteljahreshefte für freieGeschichtsforschung 7(3&4) (2003), pp. 403-405, along a different line of arguments yet with asimilar result.119 Norman G. Finkelstein, Ruth Bettina Birn, A Nation on Trial: The Goldhagen Thesis and HistoricalTruth, Metropolitan Books, New York 1998, esp. pp. 88-92; N.G. Finkelstein, The HolocaustIndustry: Reflections of the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering, Verso, London/New York2000, p. 55: “Articulating the key Holocaust dogmas, much of the literature on Hitler’s ‘finalsolution’ is worthless as scholarship.”91
