Heres the long-awaited, uncensored inside story from the thought criminal himself-Germar Rudolf. Rudolf was a highly respected chemist with a promising career-a graduate of the Max Planck Institute-who made the mistake of telling the truth at a place (Germany) and time (during court) when lies are the only permissible public statements about the Holocaust. When informed he would be sent to prison for his factual testimony made during a law case involving the Holocaust, Rudolf went underground. He ended up in America, fell in love and was wed to his U.S. citizen sweetheart.However, in late 2005, Rudolf-now a peace activist and publisher-was kidnapped by the U.S. government and deported to Germany to face charges of Holocaust denial. There he was put on trial for his historical writings. During this trial his defense lawyers were prohibited under the threat of prosecution from filing motions in support of Rudolfs historical views. All motions filed by Rudolfs defense team directed at proving that his writings are scientific in nature and are therefore protected by the German constitution were rejected by the court. Academics willing to confirm as expert witnesses the scholarly nature of Rudolfs writings were barred from testifying.Confronted with this kafkaesque situation, yet undaunted, Rudolf gave a brilliant speech in court that lasted seven sessions. In it he elucidated what science is and how to recognize its exemplars. He proved that his writings undoubtedly qualified. He demonstrated moreover why the German laws designed to suppress peaceful dissidents are unconstitutional and in violation of human rights. Furthermore he explained in detail why it is everyones obligation to resist in a non-violent way a state which throws peaceful dissidents into dungeons. The court was hardly moved by Rudolfs arguments. It sentenced him to 30 months imprisonment and ordered Rudolfs opus magnum, the German edition of his Lectures on the Holocaust, to be confiscated
