Vincent Reynouard and Siegfried Verbeke:
"When a man can think of no other way but imprisonment
to rid himself of a verbal opponent, it’s because he has no arguments."
Announcement by Vincent Reynouard – June 20, 2008 Modern Day Heroes On June 19, 2008, section 61 of the Brussels criminal
court found Siegfried Verbeke and me guilty of "disputing crimes against
humanity", sentencing us to a year’s imprisonment and ordering us to pay
25,000 euros in fines, damages and various costs... Moreover, it ordered
the immediate arrest of Siegfried Verbeke and of myself as well
(a friend of ours who attended the hearing says no, but the press
reports state the opposite and we haven’t been able to get an answer
from the Clerk’s Office). Unsurprisingly, the court had rejected all our arguments,
notably the one invoking article 150 of the Belgian Constitution to
request a trial in the Court of Assizes, thus before a jury. It’s plain to see that in the last three years
anti-revisionist oppression has greatly worsened. The times when
revisionist activists received suspended sentences are over: today,
apart from the huge fines, actual imprisonment is always pronounced. I think especially of Sylvia Stolz, Ernst Zündel and Germar Rudolf, heroic
people now languishing in German jails. I think also of Georges Theil in France, of
Gaston-Armand Amaudruz, René-Louis Berclaz and Jürgen Graf for
Switzerland. Historical revisionism belongs to no-one. Its findings
are the fruit of traditional methods of inquiry where scientific
expertise assists in the appraisal of testimonies and in documentary
research. They will be obvious to any honest individual, whether on the
political left or right, believer or atheist... But it goes without saying that its implications extend
well beyond the historical scope of its outset. The stakes involved,
gigantic ones, are political and even theological. If some refuse to see
this – because of blindness, cowardice or mistaken strategy – , our
adversaries, at their end, have understood quite well. They know that a
sudden bursting through of the historical truth about the period
1914-1946 would call into question the world order founded at Nuremberg
in 1945-1946. This is why, in the face of people whom
they constantly
present as a small sect of cranks denying the obvious, they have special
laws passed in Europe and resolutions adopted at the UN. The flagrant
discrepancy between their contemptuous talk, on the one hand, and their
actions, on the other hand, gives them the lie. To paraphrase the French
wartime orator Philippe Henriot, I’ll say: "When a man can think of no
other way but imprisonment to rid himself of a verbal opponent, it’s
because he has no arguments. When a man is reduced to making up stupid
lies, it’s because the truth is against him." The way ahead, therefore, is all laid out for us:
we
must continue to repeat the truth, the whole truth, including the truth
about what’s at stake in this struggle. Far from being merely a sterile
quarrel between devotees of the past cut off from present-day realities,
the fight for historical truth is, on the contrary, the continuation, on
the intellectual level, of the war whose armed phase ended in 1945 with
the defeat of the Axis forces. And it’s clear that this conflict, having
begun not on September 3, 1939 but on January 30, 1933, is the modern
form of the eternal struggle between Light and Darkness. In the 20th
century, National Socialist Germany embodied – doubtless imperfectly but
successfully all the same – the very last attempt to return to a
well-ordered society, that is, a society respecting the natural order.
This is the reason why, even after the 3rd Reich was
completely crushed militarily, the war continued, and has continued up
to today. Our opponents in this never-ending fight have a weapon of mass
destruction: the alleged "Holocaust". Since 1945, this lie has prevented
any dispassionate debate on National Socialism and, more generally, on
societies that respect natural order. "We know where that led! ..." is
how people constantly respond to those who, against the “Rights of Man”
and their natural offspring: the unleashing of all selfish inclinations,
dare speak of order, the Common Good, wholesomeness, moral standards,
safeguarding the genetic heritage, the birth rate, rights of kinship .. Against all
the cowards with their claims of prudence, concern with
efficiency, realism and whatever else; against all the pretentious twits
whose lives are nothing but a series of intervals between assorted
betrayals, we should repeat Christ’s own teaching:
“let your Yes be Yes,
and your No be No, for all else comes of evil.” No, the German homicidal
gas chambers never existed. Yes, "the Holocaust" is a myth. For my part,
I add: yes, Hitler embodied the hope of Europe in the face of the
ruinous ideals of 1789; yes, we must take up the best of what National
Socialism comprised in order finally to surpass it and forge a doctrine
that will be able to save our Old Continent. Some will condemn my actions for the fact that I have
seven children. They are wrong: if I act as I do, it’s first of all for
my children, to ensure a better future for them. However, our
civilisation will not be saved by any sparing of efforts in the most
vital struggles, which are (as is only logical) also the most dangerous,
for when engaged they threaten the very worst for the opponent, and so
provoke his most violent reactions. But, as Chesnelong said: "When evil
is the most daring, good must be the most courageous." Vincent Reynouard, father of seven children |
