Help revisionist Germar Rudolph resist deportation
circulated by Canada's Paul Fromm:
Dear Free Speech Supporter: I forward with my endorsement the urgent appeal from German dissident Germar Rudolf for assistance to pay for legal fees to fight to avoid deportation to a prison sentence in Germany, a nation that clearly has no concept of free speech or free expression. Please help this fighting scholar and publisher. Paul Fromm Director CANADIAN ASSOCIATION FOR FREE EXPRESSION Call For Help! Germar Rudolf P.O. Box 257768 ▪ Chicago, IL 60625 ▪ USA Telefon: ++1-708-6562779 ▪ Fax: ++1-773-4075570 ▪ [email protected] ▪ www.vho.org June 22, 2005 Dear Supporter: As you have generously invested time and resources, you deserve a report and update on my work as a revisionist writer and publisher. And you should be brought up to date on how my legal situation is affecting your investment. You really are more than just an investor ... I consider you to be a key player in a worldwide movement that is literally changing the course of history. Thanks, then, for investing and inspiring. The last 11 months have been particularly challenging for me. In August 2004, German government authorities confiscated all of my property in that country. Since I had only a modest bank account, that was what they took -- some $8,000 which I intended to spend on an advertising campaign for revisionism. Ironically, Berlin uses it to pay for their persecution of revisionists (they play rough). The result? I have lost some 20% of my German customers (which is about 15% of my gross revenues), because many Germans insist on paying into a German bank account directly. They will not do business if they have to use cash or credit cards (a very German attitude). I'm working overtime to find creative ways to supplement this loss and circumvent my dedicated opponents -- with some initial success. More on that in a minute. In November 2004 the Board of Appeal of the U.S. Immigration Services turned down my application for political asylum, claiming without substantiation and without prior accusation that my appeal was "frivolous" (meaning fraudulent). In February 2005 they denied my motion to allow me to apply for permanent residence although I am married to a U.S. citizen and have a child with her. Since both decisions violate the laws, I filed an appeal at a Federal Court. I managed to get the support of a civil rights organization for the second case (marriage). (See www.GermarRudolf.com for more information.) The outcome of that appeal is open. If it fails, I will most likely end up joining Ernst Zündel in a German jail for many years. I don't want to stop my work and I'm fighting with every resource at my disposal to stay on the front lines of the revisionist movement. Chances are good that my case will not fail, because if the unlawful decisions of the Immigration Services would be confirmed by a Federal Court, due process would be destroyed in the U.S. The legal process is not cheap. Last year alone, the legal bills amounted to $15,000, but I'm proud to report these were paid in full. As good as my chances are to succeed on the legal front, I must be prepared for bad news. Planning on the worst case scenario to occur as soon as Fall or Winter 2005, I decided late last year to drastically change priorities of my business. Even though publishing revisionist periodicals is a vital service, it actually is not much of a money-making business. Because both my journals (The Revisionist and Vierteljahreshefte für freie Geschichtsforschung) have such a low print run, costs cannot be covered by subscription rates. Book sales actually cover much of the journals' expenses. Revisionist books are of scholarly value, and publishing new research is of lasting significance: future generations will testify that someone was publishing the truth about history -- even in the worst of times. Despite mounting legal expenses, I decided to focus most of my resources on getting numerous revisionist books published. In the meantime, the journals have fallen behind my usually strict production schedule. On balance, however, good news: I will have 16 books (see below) published within less than a year. Of course, this intense effort has severely burdened me financially and it will get even worse once the bills from the printers come in. However, with some extra interest from my investors, book buyers, and subscribers, the journals will be back on track soon (we are producing a huge backlog of articles). Frankly, I face a serious situation. I just received a bill from my lawyer with a new balance of some $31,000. I have also incurred about $20,000 in debts with the British printer of my German books. And, due to the delay in publishing the journals, most customers have not yet renewed their subscriptions, resulting in cash flow problems. That's why I'm writing to you. Now I have three choices: Either pay my lawyer and have a good chance to win my case, but suspend publishing ... or I publish the revisionist books in preparation and have to tell my lawyer to stop representing me, which is a safe ticket to a German jail. My third option is obvious, but a step I take with great care. I simply must ask for help from the people who have invested in my work already -- through donations, subscriptions, and via the revisionist books they buy. Will you please consider a generous gift to my legal defense fund? I want to continue publishing the journals and books that are so important to the worldwide revisionist movement, but I can no longer be of service without your help! Please be generous. Your gift of $1,000 or $500 or even $100 or $50 will go far in this fight. I have dedicated all of my time and resources to publishing revisionist works while battling to stay a free man -- and provide for my family as well. To be blunt, I just can't do it anymore without a vote of confidence from you. I need your help -- as soon as possible -- to win my legal fight and to get the business on sound financial footing. I hope you will re-invest my work by supporting me in my fight to stay a free man. If you chose to help, and I understand not everybody can, please make payments out for "Germar Rudolf." If you want to support me otherwise, please contact me directly at the address given on page one of this letter. May I hear from you soon? Gratefully, Germar Rudolf Castle Hill Publishers |
