- Dr. Tom Sunic arrived in Sacramento yesterday and we
had coffee this morning. He just came from a summer school, put on by the
NPD in Saarbruecken, Germany. He was the interpreter for Horst Mahler.
-
- As you know, the NPD (http://www.npd.de) has won a court
case, which forces the German government to treat them like a major party,
including funding.
-
- Also incredible news about Horst Mahler's lawsuit:
-
- Background: A while back "Der Spiegel" printed
an article, written by Frydhof Maier, where Maier points out that not more
than 375,000 Jews had been killed.
-
- In an ingenious move, Horst Mahler, who is an attorney,
took the editor, the writer and himself to court for Volksverhetzung/holocaust-denial.
The lower court declared that it was not holocaust denial to point out
the true facts of the holocaust. This decision has not been appealed yet.
It makes it possible for Germans now to question the holocaust, I guess
until somebody appeals the lower court decision.
-
- Because of this court decision, Horst Mahler wanted to
travel to Auschwitz to give a speech. However, German authorities confiscated
his passport. A reminder, this speech has been reprinted in the current
issue of Community News.
-
- Then, Horst Mahler went a step further, testing the courts
decision by traveling to Wartburg, a famous German Fort, and displayed
a banner, saying that the holocaust is a hoax, and that only 375,000 people
died in Auschwitz. German authorities made pictures of the banner, however,
could not charge him under their "volksverhetzung" law, because
of the court decision.
-
- If this is not awesome news for free speech and inquiry,
I don't know what is. Wouldn't it be amazing if we had activists like this
here in America, challenging the Jews by accusing them of holocaust denial.
