20 years ago when I interviewed Marita Johansson in Sweden, a survivor of the Nazi death camps in which arms Anne Frank of typhoid had died - as she told me - I did not only want to see the tatooed number on her arm - it was there - and other facts I could check - but report honestly.
None of the people commenting on the violation of our Freedom of Speech, jailing people for their ideas as written about in the article "Are we all David Irvings now? Where's our freedom of speech?" - uses any of the many links offered as references.
David Irving & William Buckley Jr's 'Missing Link'
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
by Henk Ruyssenaars
FPF/Europe - Feb. 22 - 2006 - American publicist William F. Buckley Jr. - writing in the National Review Online* - is totally correct when writing: "Henk Ruyssenaars of the Foreign Press Foundation is burning with indignation and points out the dangers of ordained history." But also Buckley Jr. forgets to point the reader in the right direction. Nor would I use Galileii's first name in referring to him. But that may be a matter of good manners. In the article links are used, but not to the 'indignation' article, in defense of 'freedom of speech'.*
Buckley: "We will perhaps hear many protests about what has happened under Austrian justice. Henk Ruyssenaars of the Foreign Press Foundation is burning with indignation and points out the dangers of ordained history. The journalist cites, of course, Galileo “who is closely associated with the scientific revolution but who 373 years ago had to stand trial for what he thought, said and wrote. It took the Vatican’s ‘Ringling Brothers’ in Rome 359 years to agree with Galileo. On 31 October 1992 Pope John Paul II officially announced ‘that the Church had mishandled the case." [end quote*]

My whole article concerning the maltreatment of writer and historian David Irving basically defends the right we all have: the right to our own thoughts, ideas and opinions. If I want to write that the Earth is as flat as a pancake, I will. If I want to investigate and question why the Americans after 40 years and a thousandfold better technology, not have been back 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 it's stories which I've been brought up with: the Holocaust.
When I reported on my meeting 20 years ago with Marita Johansson in Sweden, a refugee and survivor of the Nazi concentration camps, in which arms Anne Frank had died - of typhoid - as she told me, I do not only want to see the tatooed number on her arm - it was there - and other facts I can check - but also report the way I want: unabridged and not 'politically correct'. I have a lawfull right and duty to report and tell it as I see it. My readers and/or listeners do not expect opportunistic lies, nor do people you tell your opinions.
You and I by international law have the right to say what we think, and nobody may take it from us. Lest put us in jail for what we think, write or say, and have it called 'justice'. Justice for whom? It is bad enough that in many countries our votes already have been stolen by rigged electronic votings, like in the United States.
HAVING OUR OWN OPINION AND SPEAKING ABOUT THINGS WE THINK MATTER, IS OUR RIGHT.*
As English writer Evelyn Beatrice Hall (1868 - 1919) - not Voltaire - is quoted as saying: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." But again the contrary is happening now: people are put in jail for their ideas and/or sayings.
Questions concerning the Holocaust are globally forbidden, but insulting a billion Muslims is OK?
Eric Margolis, an experienced Canadian observer and writer, commented the 'Cartoon Jihad' by the West: "Promoting hatred and scorn for Islam and Muslims has become the only socially and legally acceptable modern prejudice. Question the Holocaust in Germany or Austria and you go to jail, as Pat Buchanan just wrote. Doing the same in Canada gets you jailed or expelled. But slandering Islam is okay." - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/z5ozv
What has much more been in the making, and which I as an independent journalist and life long global correspondent for many decades have seen and experienced, is what George Bush and his cabal has been doing - the media concentration into one big bad megaphone for the war mongering PNAC cabal - a danger which already the other George warned for:
"If the freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter. - George Washington
That's what cabal supporters like Buckley Jr. do: applauding the fact that anybody's right to free speech is jailed, and supporting the global genocides for the profit of this PNAC pest for humanity, with Buckley-like comments like this, explaining that jailing people because they have different ideas is 'justice':
Buckley: "Austrian Justice - Well what do you know! Three years in jail for Professor David Irving. One part of us wishes they would construct a little cell for him at Auschwitz. Been there, and know just where it should be placed. Just opposite the one (there were four) remaining crematorium where dead Jews were consumed at the rate of one every four minutes, dragged in 15 yards from the gas chamber." - [end quote*]
Buckley and the PNAC pack 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'll never forget those trying to take our rights away.

dodgy links
22.02.2006 16:38
So you monitor who is using your links ? That is a bit creepy and suspicious and is perhaps why folk don't like clicking on them. When someone is as self-promoting and as dodgy as you can be shouldn't really use tinyurls. I wouldn't click on one of your tinyurl links for fear of getting redirected to rense or wrh or some nazi apologists websites.

Respectable racism on Indymedia
22.02.2006 16:55
From the current front page:
quote:
"all that has been created by the Iraq war is a visceral search for vengeance sweeping the entire world to punish America in the same sadistic manner this phony Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave has punished the world, to reverse the same torture techniques that the United States and its overlords Britain and Israel now flash around the world like squalid semen from the devil himself."
More of Kaminski's interesting theories about the Jews:
This isn't news, it's more self-promoting crap from a neo-Nazi propagandist posing as a freethinker, like all the so-called "Revisionist Historians".
DF
very dodgy
22.02.2006 17:35
unfortunatley they are not. this is a problem for indymedia moderators who have to assess whether the articles are neo-Nazi or not. surely indymedia is not a freedom of speech website and that is good. i don't want to read posts that think all evil stems from a jewish conpiracy.
freedom of speech is liberal bullshit. its the kind of thing that the liberal democrats or liberty care about. most indymedia users have moved beyond this, i think. they have understood that freedom of speech has to do with power - and not democracy. and so did hitler, whose propaganda machine knew that if you get a platform you can persuade others.
antisemitism and nationalism is big in the Left - no doubt, when small reactionary "peoples" are the new heros, while a state build by Shoa survivors is deemed the root of all capitalism. This romantic form of anticapitalism together with the idea of "peoples'" and "nations'" self-determination was the very basis of hitler's national socialism.
many on the radical left have understood that fascism is not an opinion, but a crime and should not be tolerated. anti-fascists around the world should put the boot into the face of David Irving and his likes - AND STOP DEFENDING THE NAZIS RIGHTS TO PROPAGANDA.

Hammer
Ah, you're taking it too far now
22.02.2006 19:56
It's not necessarily a debate between these things, these could be looked at as a sliding scale of tactical choices dependent on the situation.
1) persuasion
2) direct action
3) violence
4) confinement
1) A daft apprentice at my work was being socially isolated for expressing fascist views after being leafleted by the BNP at a football match. Sitting down with him for a few hours talking about race, civilisations and logic gave him the intellectual cover to rejoin his colleagues without losing face. Persuasion is preferable to isolation as it gains an ally as well as losing an enemy, and it is easy - if you can't out-argue the false arguments of fascism then you can't argue.
2) Some DA are aimed at persuasion / publicity, but where persuasion has failed then stopping fascist activity directly is the next step. Actions can be physical, devious, imaginative, hypocritical, underhanded, humiliating or whatever, as long as they are effective. That's what most posters here do.
3) As a last resort where other means have been exhausted to no effect and no other means are available, and where violence is already being employed by fascists, a minimal use of force is logical and perhaps even moral. If you are facing down the KKK or the BNP and they are taking lumps out of you then pacifism is death.
4) States only confine the weak and the weak can never practically confine the powerful except through kidnap or such ephemeral means.
>surely indymedia is not a freedom of speech website and that is good.
> i don't want to read posts that think all evil stems from a jewish conpiracy.
I think you are over-egging the case Jean, reacting too strongly in the opposite direction. Henk for one never personally said anything about a Jewish conspiracy. I am only offended by posts that go unchallenged, or by posts that are cut senselessly. Housekeeping is necessary and universal but anarchy is a broad church and we should expect and encourage and engage with differing views and rationales. I don't support the Austrian state imprisoning Irving, but I would beat him up if I met him even if he tried to look pathetic and scared- spitting on him isn't enough, he has propagandise for the fascists. I'd personally have hung Lord Haw Haw for the same crime. Here though, for an unrelated example , that guy Raul who repeatedly posts anti-Castro propaganda for them to be 'hidden', I think a few of his posts should remain unhidden, if only so we could demolish his arguments. Being able to criticise the Cuban state is one of the things that helps separate the anarchists from the socialists.
