We Demand Justice!

   Today Holocaust revisionism is illegal in eleven European countries.  These include: Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, and Switzerland.  Holocaust revisionism is also illegal in Israel.  Punishment under these repressive laws may range from months to as much as twenty years in prison.

Several countries without specific Holocaust revisionist (denial) laws have utilized other laws to punish publishers and writers that challenge Holocaust orthodoxy.  These include but are not limited to: Canada, United Kingdom and the United States.  The United States has cooperated with European governments to deport individuals who had committed no crime in the US to countries that would imprison them for what amounted to "thought-crimes."

One of the worst offenders of free speech and human rights is Germany.  It is estimated that there are 10,000 criminal prosecutions for "thought crimes" in Germany alone each year!  In addition, German universities have withdrawn PhD-titles from people who they have deemed have committed "thought crimes."  Germany's biggest Police department is the one called "department for state protection", the new German Gestapo; Germany employs specially trained, politically reliable public prosecutors to do nothing but prosecute political cases, most of them being "thought crimes"; every German law court has departments called "State Protection Chambers" which conduct nothing but political trials against all sorts of "political crimes"; the German Federal Police compiles a secret list of publications which are prohibited in Germany by any law court; the German authorities burned many thousands of books and other publications in recent years for allegedly breaching German anti-discrimination laws, even if German professors testified on trial that some of these books are scientific and should be protected by the internationally guaranteed human rights.  

We demand justice now! We demand justice for the political prisoners. We demand justice for the thought criminals. We demand justice for Germar Rudolf and Ernst Zuendel who languish in the prisons of Germany. We demand justice for David Irving who sits in prison in Austria for words he uttered in 1989. We can no longer sit idly by while our freedoms erode. We shall all hang together or we shall all hang separately.

Please register your support of these brave men and your protests against those who have criminalized intellectual freedom.

The Letters

   I can not understand the pretense of today's Germany in adopting its posture of an enlightened democratic state. The basic human freedoms of belief, of association, and of expression, are God-given and not matters delimited by arrogant State authority, and certainly not any State authority that gives lip service to protecting such rights and freedoms - as Germany does.

In the matter of history, it is vitally important that a democratic state protect free inquiry and the free and open presentation of facts or discussion thereon. Censoring and repressing historical information or the persecution of historical researchers and writers smacks of totalitarianism and oppression and not of democracy and freedom. Men like Guenther Deckert, Fredrick Toben, and others who are imprisoned in today's Germany or who have been administratively targeted or otherwise 'punished' or persecuted, have simply presented facts or appropriate commentary on the 1933-1945 period of German history for which their work and efforts should be _applauded_. These are sincere, honorable, and well-meaning men, and courageous too in view of today's reigning politically correct mandates. One would think that Germany above all nations would be sincerely interested in pursuing the historical truth about its past, but apparently that is not so. Instead, it appears to desire to bury it under an avalanche of politically correct lies, half-truths, and compelled belief systems.

I appeal to the German authorities to re-think their stance on 'revisionist' researchers and writers, and to take a more principled approach respecting both freedom and information exchange. I also appeal to other nations and authorities to remonstrate with Germany in order to effect this.

   What can one say of a version of history that requires the punitive force of law to maintain itself? A version that relies on incarceration of those who challenge it? Well, a lot can be said and we revisionists will continue to say it.

   The arrests of military historian David Irving and scholar and researcher Germar Rudolf by the governments of Austria and Germany respectively are a disgrace to the fundamental principles upon which the West itself was founded.  In an effort to protect its citizens from an unseen threat, we have seen the governments of Europe sacrifice freedom on an altar of political correctness.  We must always ask ourselves, what type of "truth" needs such protection by the law?  Today blasphemy against Holocaust fundamentalism has become what blasphemy against God was during the dark ages. 

We have seen times in history when ideas are protected through extreme measures.  In each of these times, brave men stood up and protested injustices and fought for liberty and truth.  What is scariest about our times is that no one is standing up for the revisionists.  Those who refrain from protesting today and demanding the freedom for these historians should not wonder when the thought-police arrive at their doors.

   The significance of the arrest and sentencing of Dr. Fredrick Toben in Germany is to convincingly show the stranglehold of Zionist interests in Germany, so that no one even dare discuss the issue, except to agree with every "jot and title" of the law. So Germans are powerless to debate their own history. This is the general tendency of Zionist interests throughout the world in their never-ceasing efforts at censorship, ending free discussion and creating a Zionist slave state.

The good news is that the Judge in Toben's case did not accept the argument of Prosecutor Klein that material on the Internet downloaded in Germany became subject to German Law, otherwise the penalty would have been much harsher. Prosecutor Klein, of course, wants to close that "loophole" so he has lodged an immediate appeal against it. Then enemies of Freedom never give up, so neither must we in the defence of Freedom. In fact, the Judge showed some sympathy with the plight of Toben and his lawyer. By levying a modest sentence in terms of German law. He may have had some sympathy with the fact that neither Toben nor his lawyer could open their months in defence of Revisionism without risking a futher jail sentence. I hope that the time will never come in the United States when anything like that happens. It must be the task of Revisionists to ensure that this oppression is forever blocked. It is a challenge set by our enemies that we must not shirk.

   The ongoing state persecution of Holocaust heresy in Europe and elsewhere remains a continuing scandal. The complicity of the press, as in the recent instance of two bloodhounds from the London Telegraph (publisher of fake gas chamber allegations in two wars!) "tracking down" Germar Rudolf as if he were an escaped murderer rather than a Fahrenheit 451 free speech fugitive, is even more shameful. It is high time for a systematic effort by revisionists to dog the "human rights" and media watch dog organizations into action, or at least into the ignominy of taking a public position in favor of censorship.
