Germar Rudolf sentenced
On 15 March 2007 the Mannheim
District Court handed down a 30 months prison sentence to the world’s
leading Revisionist and publisher - in stark contrast to the sentence a
Mannheim court a month earlier imposed on veteran Revisionist Ernst Zündel
who received the maximum of five years. Both men have made it their life’s
work to set the record straight about that vile allegation leveled against
Germans that during World War two they exterminated six million European
Jews in homicidal gas chambers. Zündel has been at it for almost half a
century and Rudolf since the late 1980s.
In today’s The Australian newspaper
the feature article discusses the Palestinian plight. In “Israel’s secret
Gaza servants‚” Martin Chulov speaks with two Hamas executioners who reveal
to him “how they hunted down and killed Palestinians- as a warning to other
traitors”. The usual lures ensnared individuals to become traitors to the
Palestinian cause: sex and money. In their battle for supremacy over the
Palestinians, the Israelis have begun to target individuals with such soft
weapons - a far more effective attack on the Palestinians than brute force,
which the world, via the Internet, can observe without hindrance.
So, what relevance has the above to
Revisionists? It goes to the heart of character and values! I am reminded
what Ernst Zündel advised me years ago, that if you are into historical
Revisionism, then this is a war, and so it is advisable not to have moral
failings, such as sexual, drug or any material addictions. Spending time in
jail is to be expected and not to be feared, and a fact that needs to be
considered when embarking on this intellectual adventure, as Robert
Faurisson termed it. Interestingly, Art Butz’s The Hoax of the Twentieth
Century, first published in 1977 still remains definitive. Although
weathering all kinds of personal public attacks in the media Art Butz still
retains his professorship at a Chicago university - and no-one to date has
refuted his book’s basic premise: that the homicidal gas chambers never
existed and that Germans never had an official extermination policy.
Udo Walendy published his
Historische Tatsachen until ordered by a court to desist, and after spending
some years in prison, which he did on account of his age - he celebrated his
80th birthday this year. Siegfried Verbeke continued to publish and
disseminate Revisionist material and is currently locked up in a Belgium
prison, i.e. after last year spending some months at Heidelberg prison.
Günter Deckert spent close to five years in a German prison because he had
invited Fred Leuchter to address his Weinheim group on the 1988 published
The Leuchter Report. Deckert, it was alleged, smirked or sneered while
translating, thereby disparaging the memory of the dead! Then from prison he
wrote a letter to a Mr Mannheim, who was traveling around German schools
talking about his escapes from Auschwitz, etc. In his letter Deckert asked
Mr Mannheim 12 questions, and Mr Mannheim felt hurt by the letter’s contents
and took it to the police. This writing of a letter and asking questions
earned Deckert another three months. I took up this matter and sent my views
on the Deckert case to a number of German judges and public prosecutors. It
was the contents of this letter that earned me a ten-month sentence in
Mannheim in 1999, and the Adelaide Institute website’s content was not taken
into consideration. Justice Klaus Kern accepted the push-pull argument, i.e.
that material via the Internet is NOT pushed into Germany, but rather that
an individual must pull it down from the Internet. A subsequent appeal
reversed this decision; thereby my case became a precedent-setting case:
German law extended around the globe - much like the Israeli Holocaust law
that enables the Zionist-racist state to demand extradition to Israel of
anyone and anywhere in the world who refuses to believe in the “Holocaust‚”
The December 2006 Teheran Holocaust
Conference that aimed to review the “Holocaust” has been the single most
significant event within the last decade, and it followed closely on Germar
Rudolf in 2000 beginning his publishing of the Holocaust Handbook series -
about 21 published volumes and as many waiting to be published ˆ now waiting
for Germar to return to the USA and continue his work there. Anyone who
believes in the “Holocaust” now needs to wade through these volumes to be
informed of the Revisionist argument.
It was sadly noted that only Michael
Collins Piper from the USA made it to the Teheran Holocaust conference,
Patrick McNally and Bradley Smith do not live in the USA. American
Revisionists such as Michael Hoffmann, Paul Grubach, Michael Santomauro and
Mark Weber, to name only a few, would not take the risk of traveling to
Teheran for fear of being pursued by their own internal security forces for
having traveled to a country that the US president labels “Axis of Evil”.
So, what will Germar do once
released from prison? Will he continue the Revisionist enterprise and
continue where he left off, and seek out Michael Santomauro who has taken
over the distribution of his books in the USA, or will Germar continue to
pursue his academic career and finally obtain that much-deserved doctorate
in science, which the University of Stuttgart withheld from him on account
of his having written that definitive Revisionist book: The Rudolf Report?
The human factor and David Irving
Well, the human factor has already
kicked in because there are now some individuals within the Revisionist
ranks who, for whatever reason, claim they have worked out why there is this
discrepancy between the Zündel and Rudolf judgment.
Drawing on the early 20 December
2006 David Irving release, speculation is now rife that Germar Rudolf did a
deal with the German prosecutors.
According to Dr Schaller, David
Irving did a deal with his Austrian defense counsel in the hope of getting
out of jail immediately after facing the judge, a week after his 11 November
2006 arrest. Before appearing in front of the judge and before being
charged, Irving through his defense counsel, re-canted, i.e. that limited
gassings occurred and that Auschwitz had gas chambers. This prior re-canting
backfired and did not impress the judges who stooped so low during
sentencing that one of them described Irving as a prostitute who had not
seen the error of her ways. That such a statement came from a judge is
shameful because it scapegoats without going any deeper into the problem of
prostitution. I have noticed that men who have a special hatred for
prostitutes are lacking a moral dimension where compassion has a home.
After settling down to prison life,
so according to Wolfgang Fröhlich who was also spending his time in the
Vienna jail, David Irving certainly saw the error of his ways by jettisoning
his young defense counsel and reverting to the wise counsel of Dr Schaller
for that appeal hearing on 20 December 2006.
Upon Irving’s release on 20 December
2007, something Dr Schaller predicted at the Teheran conference, one of the
judges stated that his early release was justified because Irving had stated
he now believes in the Holocaust. Of course, once back home in England,
Irving stated that he does not now have to show any more remorse about what
he has been doing for decades. For some Revisionists such a jumping about
with one’s beliefs is tantamount to selling out.
Neither Ernst Zündel nor Germar
Rudolf re-canted, and that is befitting of two Germans whose lives are
inextricably linked to the odious and oppressive “Holocaust”‚ story, while
for British historian, David Irving, the “Holocaust“ remains a symbol of
British imperial decline. Since 12 March Irving is in Budapest stirring up
the nationalists with his knowledge. After all, Irving’s knowledge as a
military historian of World War Two remains unsurpassed and his 30-odd books
can be ignored but cannot be dismissed as not having contributed anything to
world knowledge.
Interestingly, Georges Theil who
also spent time in a French prison for Revisionist work, feels passionately
for the German cause and has states as much in his book.
Back to Germar Rudolf’s case
Why was defense counsel Sylvia Stolz
removed on the final day of the hearing, and replaced by another lawyer from
a Munich legal firm? Why was there this sudden closing of the case that had
been set down for a number more days?
On 10 March 2007 I phoned Sylvia
Stolz to find out what had happened because the unofficial court report on
that day wasn’t privy to what had occurred behind the scene, and thus only
offered speculations as to what had happened.
Sylvia Stolz informed me that:
1. Germar Rudolf had said everything
he wanted to say and that is why he did not make a final submission to the
court and remained silent;
2. Rudolf did not recant in any way.
Germar stands by the material he presented to court.
3. Stolz’s removal as a defense
counsel from the case was a tactical matter because her task in any
subsequent hearing was to contextualize the whole proceedings within an
historical framework. It would have drawn parallels with Socrates‚ demise by
drinking a cup of poison and with Giordano Bruno’s burning at the stake.
This aspect of the Rudolf trial was dispensed with ˆ and instead the focus
returned to Germar Rudolf, the scientist, the husband and father.
It is perhaps as a result of Sylvia
Stolz from the very beginning of the proceedings adopting the Horst Mahler
strategy that this somewhat light sentence came about. In the Zündel case
there was no bargaining left at the very end, only more of the same. It is
to be noted that Horst Mahler for his troubles is currently also resting in
a prison for a total of nine months.
The fact that Germar has from his
prison cell attempted to distance himself from overt political Revisionist
figures can be seen as his way of retaining that pure scientific focus.
Yet, I am reminded of the Iranian
maxim: everything is politics and everything is religion. The Iranian vision
of the world ˆWeltanschauungˆ is of course far more all-embracing than our
liberal western democratic fractured world where things are divided up and
compartmentalized ˆ to the detriment of our holistic appreciation of life
itself.
Is it little wonder then that when
Western men cry, women generally regard this as a “macho” failing instead of
viewing it as a source of strength for compassion and mercy. Islam has
enabled men publicly to cry by adopting in its religious ritual observances
such a public display of compassion. In the liberal democracies of the
western world hat helps individuals to overcome the lack of a wholesome
spiritual vacuum is alcohol, psychiatry and consumerism held together by the
slave system of predatory capitalism.
Germar - the personal perspective
As Germar, 42, he has spent much
reflective time on himself, especially within the past 16 months. It is said
that most men start to think only in their early 30s - and I think there is
some truth in this observation. But whatever happens after Germar’s release
from prison, I wish him well in his endeavour to re-establish contact with
his family from which he was so brutally and unjustly ripped. Any talk about
his person, and what he has done ˆ or did not do - for the Revisionist
movement, is of secondary nature, though I hasten to add that on numerous
occasions he has exclaimed to me that his first love is and always will be
REVISIONISM. Whatever happens when he gets out of prison I sense we have not
heard the last of Germar Rudolf, the POWERHOUSE of REVISIONISM.
As some hostile “Holocaust”
believers advised Revisionists some time ago: get a life beyond REVISIONISM.
To that I responded: any thinking person is a REVISIONIST.
So, let’s not diminish the
REVISIONIST enterprise because I recall that someone in Sacramento in 2004
stated REVISIONISM IS DEAD. This was quite an accurate statement about that
person’s own mental processes because when we stop being revisionists, then
we stop to think, and when we stop to think, then we may as well terminate
our life of our own free will. I don’t think the REVISIONISTS I know would
even contemplate adopting such nihilistic thought patterns. For that we have
too much work awaiting us, and so, quoting Germar, let’s get back to work!

Dear Free Speech Supporter:
Germar Rudolf is a German
citizen, married to an American and father of a young daughter. He was
deported to Germany and sits there a political prisoner, charged with
the “crime” of modern heresy - criticizing Germany’s new state religion
of “holocaust.” Rudolf is a talented scientist and gifted publisher and
was trained at the Max Planck Institute. Mr. Rudolf has since been moved
from Stuttgart to Mannheim prisoner where another political prisoner and
fellow publisher Ernst Zundel is also detained.

STUTTGART IS IN MANNHEIM,
UNCERTAIN OF THE EXACT ADDRESS, BUT POSSIBLY LIKE ERNST’S:
Germar Rudolf, Prisoner
JVA Mannheim
Herzogenrieder Str 11
68169, Mannheim, Germany
Thanks a lot for your letter
of August 30, which I received yesterday, after I had not received any
mail for exactly 3 weeks. Such gaps have happened before and the only
guess I have is that the person in charge of censoring my mail is on
vacation rather frequently, so things pile up unprocessed for weeks in a
row.
I assume that your questions
relating to my daily routine are meant to extract some answers that you
- or Paul - intend to post online or use otherwise, like spreading it to
other distributors, which is perfectly fine with me.
Let me, therefore, give you a
summary of my weekly life, after I have described to you my cell here,
so people can imagine how I live. It includes a sink and a toilet
right next to the door. My bed is 6-feet long, which is to say, it is 5
inches shorter than I am. But the mattress on it is 6 feet 6, so that
works out. Pillow and blanket are the standard I am used to, and the
mattress itself is fortunately harder than I have in the U.S. (They were
all way too soft). The bed itself has a plywood board instead of spring
box or other fancy bouncing mechanism, which is preferred as well since
I like it hard.
Next, I have a locker –
without lock though. A chair (of simple and tough design, since man
prisoners seem to use it as a missile but it seems to be able to handle
it pretty well, I have heard) and a small, rather old table. Next, there
are 2 shelf boards. Then there is a neon lamp, a radiator keeping us
properly warmed in cold times, and a window I can actually open, with a
view out to the courtyard that has a nice lawn and the obligatory
30-feet high wall.
Since I am on the fourth
floor, I can barely look over that wall and see some of the surroundings
of this Stuttgart suburb. Since the prison is at the very verge of the
developed area, I can see some fields and forests close by. I enjoy
observing birds coming back to their seasonal life in spring, species I
hadn’t seen in so many years, since the U.S. has a completely different
fauna. I enjoyed meeting all of my old companions,. The window has, of
course, the usual steel bars in front of it plus a steel screen to
prevent prisoners from throwing stuff out the window and trading items
with other inmates on other levels.
In the meantime, I have
turned various cardboard boxes I obtained when buying food supplements
to construct a series of additional shelves, in which I can store food,
sanitary and medical supplies as well as stationery. Usually, the
built-in wooden shelves serve, among other things, to carry a TV that
every cell has. But because I would have to pay 14 Euros (some 17
dollars) per month for rent and electricity, I told them to keep it to
themselves. So I have no TV. Since I never owned one to begin with, this
is no change in my lifestyle.
Now to my daily and weekly
routine.
First the every day events.
On weekdays, an electronic tri-tone wakes us up at 5:45, which is pretty
much around the time I was used to getting up while free as well, so no
change, really. Weekends they give us an hour more, but I am up around 6
then as well. Can’t change my habits
). Breakfast is served roughly half an hour later, on which occasion,
our doors are opened and food is handed to us. Unfortunately, the
regular breakfast is rather poor. We can have bread - either wheat or
mixed rye-wheat - and butter plus coffee. I can’t vouch for the coffee’s
quality since I hate coffee and never drink it. The bread is always a
few days old so people don’t eat too much well-tasting freshly baked
bread. Then we receive, alternating each day, either half a liter of
long-life milk or some 25 grams of some spread (jam, honey, nutella, the
latter two only at weekends). Fridays they give us small 20-gram packs
of spread cheese. So, if, say, you eat 2 slices of bread each morning
you have to spread 25 grams over 4 slices, which is like giving it only
a remote flavor of having anything on it. In the meantime, I was able to
purchase some jam, honey and nutella, so my bread doesn’t stay dry half
the time. Because of being notoriously underweight, the physician also
prescribed three more packs of 1/2-liter of milk per week as well as
half a pound of Quark every day (the American reader may ask himself
what quark is. It’s not the subatomic particle, which bears the same
name, but a mild product gained from the solid parts of sour milked, if
I am not mistaken. It’s very rich in protein and fat.) A little of the
quark I use to mix with jam and honey on my breakfast bread (I usually
eat only one slice right now for lack of exercise, since I hurt my left
wrist and had to stop doing upper body exercises).
Next, after breakfast is
done, including washing the dishes and brushing teeth, I sweep my
apartment and do some ABS and back muscle exercises, during which after
each set, I read some philosophical book. At the moment, I am reading
Karl R. Popper’s THE LOGIC OF SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY”, but I have already
left some Aristotle’s, Hegel, Schopenhauer and more Popper behind me. I
usually read only 2-3 pages between each set, so I don’t get more done
than some 15-20 pages in the morning. Since I usually don’t get enough
sleep during the night (see later for the reason), I frequently am
rather tired after my philosophical workout and I sleep a little more,
half and hour so, before we are let out to our daily one-hour courtyard
walk at 9:15.
The yard is some 300 x 150
feet and has plenty of lawn. Right now, I am using the first 20 minutes
to jog 4 km. Never having been a runner at all - I did some cycling and
swimming as cardiovascular activity, but always hated running - I had to
start slowly in winter, reaching 4 km only I June (after suffering 2
pulled muscle fibers in my right calf back in January and March during
step aerobics on courtyard benches, which are way too high for such
exercise).
By now, I have reduced my
initial 4 K time from 24 minutes down to 20 minutes and strive to get it
as low as 15 minutes in my prison athletic a career. The remaining time
outside, I used to take a shower - (there are 6 cold water showers in
the yard which nobody except me dares to use any more during that time
of the year) and then to socialized with any inmate that can get a
straight German sentence - or English, if there is such a chance out of
their mouth that makes some sense. That is unfortunately not the rule in
such a place, as the average IQ is well below average and the percentage
of Germans is even lower. It boils down to rare encounters.
After we are locked up again
in our cells, we get lunch roughly half an hour later (11:00 a.m.).
During lunch (as well as dinner), I read the various issues of the
magazines friendly supporters of mine have subscribed for me: SCIENTIFIC
AMERICAN, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, GREENPEACE MAGAZINE, AND three small
German magazines in historical and political issues.
After lunch, I usually take a
nap of half an hour or maybe even an hour, depending on my constitution.
The rest of the day is usually divided into 3 sections: up to 3 p.m.
when dinner is dished out, then up to the time I actually eat my dinner,
depending on my stomach’s regimen, then up to bedtime. I occupy my time
in the afternoon and evening with several activities: answering letters
(like this one), translating documents for my upcoming trial, drawing
pictures for my wife, the only gift I can make for her. (I bought color
pencils for that purpose), listening to music (I was allowed to buy a CD
player and have receive a large amount of music CDs from my generous
supporters), writing down the lyrics of those I love best, and singing
along, sometimes, when I know them well enough, even singing them
without any music. I also was able to receive my mother’s mouth
harmonica, on which I play some pieces once in a while (I even received
a book of German folk songs with notes so I can learn more).
My relatives in the U.S.
provide me with SUDOKU puzzles, which I am about to become an addict of,
and of course, there is the abundance of books that I work myself
through. Currently, I am reading Charles Dickens’ HARD TIMES, Emerson’s
ESSENTIAL WRITINGS, and next on my list is Harper Lee’s TO KILL A
MOCKINGBIRD”. There is no shortage at that front (see
www.GermarRudolf.com ).
The end of each day sees me
sitting at the table writing a diary entry for my wife, for she receives
letters from me ever so often, whenever three sheets of paper have been
filled with my thoughts and sorrows of the days. For dinner, we get
bread (wheat, wheat-rye, or whole grain), butter some German wurst,
which I always despised and tea, of which I drink only fruit teas.
Fortunately, they have a wurst exchange program for those not eating
this disgusting processed meat, so I get cheese instead, which has
always been my favorite, particularly if put on whole grain bread.
Every second day, however, I
use the quark I received for breakfast to make myself a nice muesli. I
can buy oats, muesli, and all other supplies needed (sugar, fruits,
additional milk), so this is quite a bargain, since I was raised not on
hamburgers and hot dogs, but on muesli all of my life I ate that at
least once a day. Also while being in the U.S. Since we get some salad
every third day of lunch, but I cannot eat it then (it would be too
much), I make myself a real nice salad every other day for dinner by
adding some cut-up cheese, feta (which I can buy), tomatoes (also
bought), crouton (self-made by cutting up wheat bread and drying it on
the radiator or in the sun on the windowsill, depending on weather and
temperature) and a delicious vinegar-sunflower oil-orange juice dressing
I crated myself because the vinegar/oil dressing we get with the salads
is so boring (and often they add only a few drops leaving the salad
rather dry) that in pure desperation, one day I poured some orange juice
over that dry salad, only to discover that this was an ingenious
invention!
During the summer, I actually
managed to grow blue cheese on my cheese, meaning blue cheese fungi
cultures, giving me some variety - as a lover of blue cheese, this was
quite a pleasure!
Lung, which I forgot to
describe, is typically German and of a fine average quality. That is to
say: I didn’t have such good food so regularly and often since I left my
mother’s home. So I won’t complain about that at all. It is sometimes a
little short in calories, but for this I have my supplemental oats that
fill the gap. We also eat a desert every day when not getting a salad,
which is usually a fruit. That ends up in my muesli. Also, I figured out
that there are always some prisoners that do not like to eat their
salads or fruits, which I them am happy to bear the responsibility for.
So, considering that this is not a four-star hotel, one cannot complain
about the food at all, provided one can buy a few supplements that are
definitely lacking for breakfast and dinner. And this, as described, is
usually possible. I go to bed usually around 11 p.m., needing some 8
hours of sleep, this is one hour too late. But going to bed earlier is
not a good idea, because many inmates are very noisy until around 11,
when it quiets down considerably. I, therefore, gave up going to bed at
a time when I used to go, and put in a few naps here and there during
the day instead. That helps also to structure the day a little more,
which is very important.
All right, this was the
everyday routine. Now to weekly highlights, if you wish. There are the
minor organizational events, which I mention only in passing, although
they have a curious psychological effect by giving us the feeling of
time actually passing, which is important for us desperately looking for
the end of the tunnel.
Mondays our cells are cleaned
(mopped), but I do not let them do it, since they (the inmate janitors)
do a bad job. I insist on doing it myself. I have, by the way, a
somewhat unique reputation here in prison for keeping my cell
meticulously clean, for instance already by taking my shoes off before
entering it, which was unheard of. Well, it’s where I am all day, so I
might just as well make it as comfortable for me as I can. Anyway,
Tuesdays once a fortnight they exchange our bed linen and sheets.
Wednesdays, they change our clothes (I am obliged to wear prison
‘uniform’ , though most prisoners can wear private clothes. The
‘uniform’ consists of rather normal clothes, though: shirt, jeans
jacket, jeans trousers, black leather shoes). On Thursdays between 5:30
and 7:00 p.m., the prison choir meets to learn and exercise songs to be
performed during church services. I joined some 2 months ago and have
already done a solo 2 weeks ago, resulting in “encore” shouts from the
barbars in the audience. I used to sing in a young choir back in my
early adulthood, but haven’t had any experience since. I love it very
much - I always loved singing. So this is a real relief for me
emotionally.
Mondays, Thursdays and
Sundays between 12:00 and 2:30 p.m. we are allowed to visit other
prisoners in their cell (up to 4 inmates allowed per cell). I do not
take the opportunity of each of these occasions, simply because there
are so few inmates that are to be preferred to spend up to 3 hours with
as compared to a good book. For instance. I am in a part of the prison
where they jail people who are in investigative custody, awaiting trial,
so fluctuation is high. Most people stay only a few months and are never
heard of again. After almost a year of that one loses interest in trying
to invest into any social relationship, since they are torn apart
shortly afterwards anyway. Apart from the fact that the clients here
aren’t exactly my cup of tea. Just recently, I had to somehow fend off a
guy who used to come to me without announcing it beforehand or asking.
He is rather dull chap, I have no real common basis with, so what am I
supposed to do with him during 3 hours, when his topics - sex, drugs and
rock ‘n roll - are of no interest to me.
If the choir performs, I get
to go to 4 church services with the choir during the weekend, otherwise,
only to the 1 service assigned to me, or rather I am assigned to. I also
just recently applied to partake at the English language “Jesus Group”,
which is a religious discussion group for English language speakers, all
of which are blacks from African countries, economic refugees. Their
pigeon English isn’t exactly prone to improve my English, but it’s
better than having no connection to the language of my home of choice at
all. Permission to participate is pending, so I don’t know yet when
that’ll be and if I am allowed to go to it, because originally, I had so
may security measures imposed on me - allegedly for my protection - that
I couldn’t do anything apart from going to the daily courtyard walk. But
by now, I managed to melt some of the ice locking me into place. I
forgot to mention that we can take showers under regular warm water
shower showers twice a week (Monday and Thursday). Dermatologically seen
taking a shower only twice a week is allegedly sufficiently enough, but
my skin thinks otherwise, so after several weeks I started getting
pimples all over the place, which I got under control only after
exposing my skin to the sun starting in late spring and by taking my
daily outdoors shower to clean me of the sweat I produce every day with
my workout. But I expect those outside showers to be turned off in a few
days or weeks at the latest, once frost threatens. Then we will see if
my skin has adapted a little better to deal with its own emanations.
On an irregular basis, I do
receive visits (maximum 120 minutes per month) mainly from my ex-wife
with my 2 German kids and by all kinds of supporters and fans, organized
by a friend who has taken responsibility to get this in shape and
prevent chaos. During summer break in the U.S., my wife who is a teacher
came with my baby daughter to see me as often as she could, back in
June-August. Now I can call her once a month for 15 minutes. That’s not
much, but an improvement compared to the first half year, when we
corresponded only by letter. Finally, I have to go down to the “chamber”
frequently to pick up books or CDs sent to me in the order of friends
and supporters, which is always a nice feeling, like receiving a gift
with the message: you are not forgotten and abandoned. The book and CT
gift program is organized via the website dedicated to me at
www.germarrudolf.com , in order to prevent double items and to distribute
the gifts over a reasonable period of time with a moderate density (to
prevent getting swamped around my birthday or for Easter/Christmas, but
getting forgotten in between).
I guess that pretty much
covers my life here. As to this typewriter: I bought it here, costing me
150 Euros. It is an electric machine, using carbon ribbon tapes costing
5 Euros each and lasting merely 16 pages! That’s a rip-off, but textile
ribbons could be used to strangle somebody or to lower oneself down the
window (after cutting the bars…). I am not quite sure what ridiculous
reason they have for not giving us reasonable tapes, but some things
just can’t be changed. In case I do not write with the machine, it’s
because I ran out of tapes and could not organize new ones. That’s life.
Of course, It would be absolutely superb if I could have a computer, but
that is a dream yet to come true. But I’ll try to get that organized as
well at some point.
As to the situation of my
family in the U.S.: I just received a letter from my wife, finding her
in the greatest alarm caused by the news from my immigration lawyer that
the U.S. government seems to ignore the Federal Court ruling, which had
forced the Board of Immigration Appeals to reopen my case and admit my
application for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent
resident due to my marriage with an American citizen. The government
seems to give a f… about the law and do whatever pleases them. Not
really new to us, is it? But that is only hearsay news from my wife who
isn’t privy to the details of my case nor to any immigration matter for
that sake, so she may have understood things wrongly. Anyway, one thing
is for sure: the administration is at it again in one way or another.
My defense here in the
Zionist-Occupied Zone of Europe is crumbling, because the defense lawyer
I used to prepare my case with has vanished from my radar. I heard that
his wife is dying of lung cancer, hence he has other issues to take care
of. That puts me in a bad spot, and I have no clue how my case will take
off. But matters are rigged already anyway, so what does it matter at
the end of the day? Your taking the side of the Germans is nice,
although in the meantime, I am well beyond that point. It’s not a German
affair. Or the Palestinians or the Lebanese, for instance, or the
Iraqis, and so on. I am not going there in this letter.
Not having a TV, which via
cable, also has numerous radio channels, means that I cannot follow
news. I also refused to subscribe to a daily newspaper: although,
somebody subscribed a small weekly newspaper for me without my consent
(as it happened with several periodicals). I simply do not wish to be
bothered with the news about any sack of rice toppling over in China and
about the insanities in politics and society. It simply drives me up the
wall.
Apart, I cannot stand German
new media in general. I cannot even stand the German language, and to
say I developed a strong dislike against it while in the U.S. can’t help
it. It’s the language of my persecutors and torturers. So I despise
German radio and TV channels already for their language. I can
understand Jews today why they hate the German language, for what it
stands for in their minds. It stands for the same thing in my mind.
I had a few letters from
Ernst and responded accordingly, but we never rally corresponded
intensely at any time of our lives, since there is quite a gap between
us in many regards, politically, intellectually. Hence, we have never
been each others’ favorite discussion partners. I also assume that his
correspondence is restricted, so it is fine with me if he reserves the
letters he is allowed to write for those that matter to him and his
cause. I hope these revelations don’t’ shock you. Your nostalgic
preference for people speaking their own language, even after decades of
residing in a foreign country, is an exception, and may I presume it is
restricted to certain ethnic groups?
My wife keeps complaining
that the Mexican immigrants to the U.S. refuse to speak English and
adjust to the U.S. culture (whatever that is). People have their
cultural and ethnic preferences and prejudices, no matter how much
people claim they are free of them. Nobody is.
I am not writing any memoirs.
I am a bit younger than David Irving and intend to wait a little longer
before I start writing them. Apart, I already have a kind of
biographical sketch out there, in the appendix of my expert report even
in English. I have many more things in mind to do once I am out of here,
so it would be wrong to start writing something, when the most exciting
parts haven’t even been fathomed yet. If writing a dense diary to my
wife counts as a memoir, then that is what I am doing. But it is very
personal in parts, so it’s not suited for publication, at least not for
years to come. New projects, I will aim at once my trial is over and I
know how my prison rule will look like, depending greatly on the prison
where I will end up. I’ll probably pick up my university studies again,
going for another degree or trying to put the knowledge I assembled over
the past 15 years to some use in this regard. I already collected lots
of paperwork in this regard from various remote colleges, but unless my
case is settled, there is no use in getting things going.
All right, I think that’ll do
for your distribution. Please clean out my debris field of typos and
other mistakes. This machine has no retype features, so once a button is
pressed, it’s done and over with, no editing. But I am sure you can and
will smooth out the rough spots for me.
Thanks a lot for helping me
out staying connected to the world out there. With my best regards also
to Paul,
Germar.

The Trial of Germar Rudolf in Mannheim District Court
Day 2, 16 November 2006
Reported by Günter Deckert
Translated by J. M. Damon
Scheduled to begin at 9 O’clock, the trial began at 9:05
The following members of
the court were present:
1. The same judges
as on opening day, Schwab presiding;
2. District Attorney
Grossmann with female assistant;
3. Defense Attorneys
Stolz and Bock;
4. One bailiff, five
armed uniformed policemen and 2 plainclothes political police (“staschus”);
5. Representatives
of press and media – none (scared off, presumably);
6. Others: Around 50
spectators whose composition changed from time to time, including Dr. Rolf
Kosiek of Grabert Publishing House. Nine schoolchildren were present at
opening of morning session, six still present at lunch break, none after
lunch.
Judge Schwab opened
proceedings and allowed Germar Rudolf to continue speaking. Rudolf informed
the Court that he was considering several motions that he wished to discuss
with his attorneys, whereupon the Court
recessed at 9:07 and
resumed at 9:27.
Attorney Stolz then
objected that Germar had once again been placed in leg irons. Judge Schwab
remarked that during the previous session he had ordered the leg irons
removed while the prisoner was inside the courthouse. He said he would see
to it that in future, Germar would not be transported from Heidelberg Prison
in irons.
Germar then had his
attorneys distribute to the Court and to Grossmann, photocopies of documents
relevant to his Tuesday presentations and augmenting it in detail.
Among these photocopies
were supporting statements by the Director of Prisons in the state of
Missouri in the USA. Included was an introduction by Prof. Faurisson
explaining that the engineer Fred A. Leuchter is the leading expert on
homicidal gas chambers in the United States. (This statement was taken from
an expert report presented during the trial of Ernst Zündel in Toronto.)
Other documents that
Germar presented included plans and photographs of several buildings and
parts of buildings of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Here Germar referred
to his critically annotated edition of the various Leuchter expert reports.
This
publication is available in English under the title
Fred A. Leuchter, Robert Faurisson. Germar Rudolf. The
Leuchter Reports: Critical Edition.
Chicago,
USA, 2005.
It is dedicated to Ernst Zündel (“For
Ernst”) and available at
www.vho.org/GB/Books/tlr/
Germar then
continued with a chronological account of his life history and
accomplishments in establishing a foothold in the USA. This account, which
was also presented during proceedings of the first trial day (14 November),
is found in his publication Kardinalfragen an Deutschlands Politiker –
Aufforderung zur Wiederherstellung der Menschenrechte in Deutschland (Cardinal
Questions About Contemporary History) available online at
www.vho.org/GB/Books/tlr.
Then came revelations
that were completely new (and not just to me!) concerning Germar’s
collaborations with Peter Stahl, a nephew of “Gestapo Müller”. Stahl is a
citizen of the US and the son of a relative of Müller who immigrated to the
US.
Germar wrote these
revelations in collaboration with Bob Crowley, a former high ranking member
of the FBI who wrote an independent account of the Kennedy assassination.
Crowley’s account
inspired Germar to edit and publish a book entitled “Regicide” that thus far
has appeared only in English.
GR ascribed his
deportation from the USA as being in large part a consequence of publishing
this book.
See
www.vho.org/GB/c/GR/StahlDouglas.html
Germar then related that
the initial phase of his residence in the US was interrupted by a short stay
in Mexico near the residence of Bradley Smith. Smith is the founder of CODOH
(Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust) a pioneering organization in
support of unfettered historical research and scientific investigation of
what Prof. Norman Finkelstein calls the “Holocaust Industry.” Despite
advanced age, Smith continues to be very active in the field of historical
revisionism.
Germar Rudolf also
carried on extensive correspondence with Fritjof Mayer, an editor of
Spiegel magazine, who recently published a controversial article on the
probable number of Auschwitz deaths in the magazine Südosteuropa.
At 10:50 the presiding
judge called another recess, which lasted until 11:25.
Germar then described the
books he published in 2005, in particular a series on the subject of
Auschwitz. The author of these books is the Italian revisionist researcher
Carlo Mattagno, whom Germar described as the most knowledgeable researcher
of the concentration camps in eastern Europe.
At 12:42 Judge Schwab
adjourned the Court for the midday meal, with re-adjournment at 2:00 pm.
At the afternoon session
only a single bailiff and two uniformed policemen were present, in addition
to the two “staschu” agents.
After describing his
scientific and publishing activities, Germar addressed six fundamental
issues concerning basic human rights in a free and democratic society.
a) The Scientific Attitude: Germar explained the vital importance of the
scientific attitude in human affairs, referring to several prominent
authorities cited by the prosecution, who stressed the importance of the
“human compulsion to know the truth.” He described himself as an “eternally
curious researcher with a compulsion to know, and incapable of
submitting to the compulsion to believe, or accept on faith.”
(At this point, Female Judge Number Two dedicated her full attention to
massaging her eyes)
b)
Forensic Investigations:
Germar remarked that the forensic aspects of “Holocaust,” that is, technical
examination of the “homicidal gas chamber as murder weapon,” has been
completely ignored by established authority for over 40 years.
c)
Human Dignity and the Instinct to Learn the Truth: Everyone, including
Germar, has the human right to question official veracity. That is simply
the right to criticism. In accordance with this inalienable right, Germar
is resisting oppression by the State as well as well as official
intervention in free and unhindered investigation and research: Kant’s
Sapere Aude - Dare to know.)
d)
The Nature of the Present German Government: Germar’s position is that the
present Federal Republic / Reich / “OMF” (Prof. Carlo Schmid’s
“Organizational Form of a Modality of Foreign Rule”) is not a sovereign
institution. See
www.adelaideinstitute.org/Dissenters1/Mahler/Hennig_engl.htm
Furthermore, it subscribes to and enforces mystical taboos.
It is
neither a democracy nor a nation of laws, but rather a pseudo-democratic
dictatorship.
e)
The Nature of Science:
Scientific validity depends on constant questioning and verification. The
Federal Republic / Reich / OMF / is hostile to and intolerant of real
science, since it treats all criticism of the Holocaust and Auschwitz taboos
as a crime and punishes empirical investigation of them with heavy prison
sentences (Deckert: up to 5 years:).
f) The
Process of Learning: Mankind learns by the progression from mythos
(mythology) to theory, to observation and to the fact. This is the course
of human knowledge and understanding; and questioning and criticism are
fundamental prerequisites for the advancement of science and knowledge.
Judge Schwab, who had
appeared increasingly restless since 3:15 pm, was obviously looking for a
point at which to end the day’s session. He adjourned court at 15:35, when
Germar arrived at the end of a paragraph.
Germar’s trial will be continued on 30
November 2006

whoever reads and circulates this report, which is not a newspaper article
written for the “Establishment” media, please be so kind as to mention my
name in conjunction with it. Thanks, G.D.

Dieser teilt mit, er habe sich einige Anträge überlegt, die er mit den
Verteidigern besprechen möchte. – Die Sitzung wird um 9.07Uhr unterbrochen
und um 9.27Uhr fortgesetzt.
RAin
Stolz rügt, daß GR erneut mit Fußfesseln vorgeführt worden ist. Vors.
Richter Schwab erklärt, er habe bereits das letzte Mal verfügt, daß dies im
Gerichtsgebäude zu unterlassen ist. Er werde dafür sorgen, daß künftig keine
Vorführung ab Gefängnis Heidelberg in Fußfesseln erfolgt.
GR läßt
durch die Anwälte Ablichtungen von Dokumenten***, die Teil, seiner
Ausführungen vom Dienstag sind, an das Gericht wie StA Grossmann verteilen
und erläutert diese ausführlich.
***
Darunter Empfehlungsschreiben des Gefängnisdirektors des
Missouri-Gefängnisses, der Prof. Faurisson Fred A. Leuchter als den
führenden Gaskammerfachmann der USA empfohlen hatte – Anmerkung: Es ging um
die Erstellung eines Gutachtens für den Prozeß gegen Ernst Zündel (EZ) in
Toronto. Weiterhin Pläne und Fotos von wichtigen Gebäuden bzw. Gebäudeteilen
des KL Auschwitz/Oczwiecim. – GR verweist in diesem Zusammenhang auf seine
kritisch kommentierte Ausgabe sämtlicher Leuchter-Gutachen, leider nur auf
Englisch, mit dem Titel „Fred A. Leuchter, Robert Faurisson, Germar
Rudolf: The Leuchter Reports – Critical Edition Chicago,2005², USA (.....:
Die Leuchter-Berichte – eine kritische Ausgabe..). Die Abhandlung ist
wohl Ernst Zündel gewidmet („For Ernst“).
GR fährt
mit der zeitlichen Anfolge seines Lebenslaufes und seines Schaffens fort und
schildert seine Versuche des Fußfassens in den USA.
Dies wie
auch das bereits am ersten Tag, am 14.11., Ausgeführte ist in der
GR-Veröffentlichung „Kardinalfragen an Deutschlands Politiker –
Aufforderung zur Wiederherstellung der Menschenrechte in Deutschland“
nachzulesen: Castle Hill Publishers (CHP) – Deutsche Bücher / Books in
English – POBox 243, GB Uckfield/West Sussex – TN 22 9AW, England (chporder@vho.org
/
www.vho.org/store/UK, Katalog 2006.
Neu, wohl
nicht nur für mich, waren Ausführungen über die Zusammenarbeit mit einem
Peter Stahl, einem Neffen von „Gestapo-Müller“ (1), Sohn eines
ausgewanderten Müller-Verwandten und damit US-Bürger, der GR mit einem
ehemaligen hochrangigen FBI-Mann (Bob Crowley) zusammenbrachte, der eine
andere Darstellung der Kennedy-Ermordung lieferte. Dies veranlaßte GR zur
Herausgabe eines bislang nur im Englischen erschienenen Buches mit dem Titel
„Regiscide“ (Königsmord). Auch hierauf führte er ua. seine Abschiebung aus
den USA zurück. – Während dieser ersten Phase des US-Aufenthaltes,
unterbrochen durch einen kurzen Aufenthalt in Mexiko in der Nähe von Bradley
SMITH (CODOAH), einem trotz seines Alters noch immer sehr rührigen
US-Revisionisten, hat auch ein gewisser Fridjof Meyer (Spiegel); Verfasser
des berüchtigten Kuraufsatzes in der Zs. Südosteuropa mit ihm Verbindung
aufgenommen.
Um
10.50Uhr verfügt der Kammervorsitzende eine „Verschnaufpause“; Wiederbeginn
um 11.24Uhr
:
GR stellt dann die verlegten Bücher
des Jahres 2005 vor, vor allem die Reihe zum Thema „AU.....“; Ver-fasser ist
der italienische Revisionist Carlo Mattagno, den er als den derzeit besten
KL-Kenner im Osten Europas bezeichnete, der mit dem Baseler Jürgen Graf nach
der Wende im Osten die wichtigsten Archive im ehemaligen Einflußbereich der
UdSSR bereist und „bearbeitet“ hat.
Um
12.42Uhr erklärt Richter Schwab die Mittagspause; Wiederbeginn um 14Uhr.
Zu Beginn der Nachmittagsverhandlung
sind nur noch ein Gerichtsdiener sowie zwei uniformierte Polizisten neben
den beiden „staschu“-Leuten anwesend.
(2)
Nach den Ausführungen zur eigenen
wissenschaftlichen sowie verlegerischen Arbeit wendet sich GR
grundsätzlichen Fragen zu:
a)
Frage der WISSENSCHAFTLICHKEIT –
Er benennt einige geistige Kronzeugen von Rang und Namen, die alle den
„menschlichen Drang zur Wahrheit“ betont hätten. Er stellt sich als der
„ewig Neugierige dar, der WISSEN will, statt GLAUBEN ZU MÜSSEN“!
Einschub:
Die 2. Richterin huldigt immer häufiger der Augenpflege....
b)
Die forensische Seite, d.h. die
technische Überprüfung der „Mordwaffe Gaskammer“, sei seit
über 40 Jahren vollständig
vernachlässigt worden.
c)
Wahrheitstrieb und
Menschenwürde - Jeder Mensch, auch er, habe das Menschenrecht auf Zweifel,
auf Kritik. Insofern wehre er sich gegen die staatliche Unterdrückung sowie
gegen die Eingriffe in die freie und ungehinderte Forschung – Kant: „Wage zu
wissen!“ (Sapere aude)
d)
Die heutige brd(dr) sei eine
geschlossene Gesellschaft, die an magische Tabus glaube. Sie sei weder eine
Demokratie noch ein Rechtsstaat, sondern eine „demokratische Diktatur“
e)
Wissenschaft bedeute ständiges
Fragen und Hinterfragen. Der brddr-Staat sei wissenschaftsfeindlich, da er
jede Kritik an diesem TABU, gemeint „Holo.... / Au.....“, als Verbrechen,
als Straftat einstufe und unter Strafe stelle (bis zu 5 Jahre / der
Berichterstatter)
f)
Von der Mythologie (Mythos) zur
Theorie über die Beobachtung zur Tatsache! Das sei der richtige Weg.
Insofern seien Zweifel, in Frage stellen wie Kritik ein Grundanliegen, eine
Grundanforderung der bzw. an die Wissenschaft.
Richter Schwab, der ab 15.15Uhr
bereits „unruhig wirkt“, such nach einem Grund für die Beendigung Da GR zu
einem Abschnitt kommt, schließt er um 15.35Uhr die Sitzung.
Weiter am 4. Dez., 9Uhr
Weinheim/Bergstraße
