David Irving silenced - Let's see who's next...

Foreign Press Foundation - Henk Ruyssenaars | 08.03.2006 17:39 | Analysis | Indymedia | Repression

Normal people don't care whether David Irving writes about the sex life of Penguins, popular Patagonians, Bible belching Protestants, jolly Jews, tacit Taoists or child molesting Catholics. It's his right according to the law.

Now let's see: who's next?

by Henk Ruyssenaars

FPF - Europe - March 8, 2006 - My whole article concerning the silencing and maltreatment of writer and historian David Irving basically defends the right we all have: the right to our own thoughts, ideas and opinions.

IF THIS RIGHT IS TAKEN AWAY FROM ONE, IT IS TAKEN AWAY FROM US ALL!

If I want to investigate whether the Earth is as flat as a pancake, I will. If I want to investigate and question why the Americans strangely enough after 40 years and a thousand fold better technology, not have made another trip to the moon, I'll research that and say what I think. If I want to question Einstein's E=MC/2 relativity or Darwin's Evolution theory, I will.

And I'll put forward any questions I like concerning another 'truth' and all the stories which I in my classical catholic surroundings have been brought up with in Anne Frank-country The Netherlands: the horrors of the Holocaust.

IF EVERYTHING IS TRUE: WHY CAN'T PEOPLE ASK QUESTIONS AND STUDY THE FACTS OF THIS MATTER?
WHY MUST PEOPLE THAT HAVE OTHER OPINIONS BE JAILED? LIKE HITLER DID TO THE JEWS TOO? WHO IS AFRAID OF WHAT? [David Irving & William F. Buckley Jr's 'Missing Link' - Url.:  http://tinyurl.com/q588y]

"It is not anti-Semitic to criticize the policies of the State of Israel" - said former US Secr. of State Colin Powell in his speech at 'The Conference on Anti-Semitism of The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe' by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Berlin, Germany on April 28, 2004 - Url.:  http://tinyurl.com/22p6c

The capitulation of our right to freedom of opinion in today's Guardian looks like this: 'Irving barred from speaking to media' - an item written by Katy Duke: ''The jailed British Holocaust denier David Irving has been banned from talking to the press after he continued to question the Holocaust from his cell and claimed he was a victim of Jewish persecution.

The 67-year-old author was jailed for three years last week by a court in Vienna, but since his incarceration he has continued to spout - [FPF: Irving 'spouts' - all who agree 'articulate'] - his far-right ideology in a number of interviews with the local and international press. The court ruled Irving had "reinforced his revisionist statements" and "concretely offended" the Republic of Austria and has now forbidden him from giving any more interviews from his cell.

The ruling means no domestic or foreign media, including the British press, radio and television, will be allowed to see the controversial historian. His family and friends will still be allowed access.

[FPF: what about Freedom of Speech and our right to information?]

Irving has appealed against his sentence but could face more years behind bars as a result of his recent statements if his case goes back to court. He originally told the court that convicted him that he had changed his mind since making statements in 1989 questioning the extent of the Holocaust.

But his unrepentant behaviour during the trial led the nine-person jury to convict him despite his assurances. Irving was sentenced to three years in prision, which could now be increased if prosecutors decide his statements since the trial constitute another breach of local laws. As it considers filing new charges of Holocaust denial against Irving, the public prosecutor's office in Vienna is looking at interviews he gave to the Daily Mail, Independent on Sunday and the BBC after his conviction.

The public prosecution spokesman, Walter Geyer, said: "We know Mr Irving has made several interviews with the British press and are looking into statements we believe may contravene the same laws for which he has been jailed." - [andend] - Url.:  http://tinyurl.com/e8va9 - To contact the MediaGuardian newsdesk email  editor@mediaguardian.co.uk or phone 020 7239 9857

FPF: The perilous pack of the PNAC, the 'Project for a Nefarious American Century' - with their vile collaborators in the media, want us to forget the following: Freedom of speech is often regarded as an integral concept in modern liberal democracies, where it is understood to outlaw censorship. The right to freedom of speech is guaranteed under international law through numerous human rights instruments, notably under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.*

And, as British/Jewish Nobel Prize Literature Laureate Harold Pinter said: "People do not forget. They do not forget the death of their fellows, they do not forget torture and mutilation, they do not forget injustice, they do not forget oppression, they do not forget the terrorism of mighty powers. They not only don't forget: they also strike back.*

We are not 'dumb and silent' - and we we'll never forget those who keep trying to take away our rights.

We are not what war criminal Henry Kissinger called 'Nutzlose Fresser': useless eaters... We are all human beings.

We not only don't forget: we will also strike back.

The tide always turns...
