Question the Holocaust, Go to Jail!
The failed European Union is set to hear arguments for the institution of laws that make denying or "trivialising" the holocaust a criminal offense. Violaters can face up to three years of imprisonment for questioning any aspect of this 20th century event. Presently, Germany and Austrian already have criminal laws against holocaust denial, but the rest of Europe has avoided such legislation with some countries holding out to see other genocides included.
As you many know, R. J. Rushdoony was one of many scholars that questioned the official total of the numbers killed during World War II. He viewed the exaggerated narrative as a violation of the Ninth Commandment that forbid bearing false witness. For this he's been repeatedly ridiculed and mocked. Most critics simply say, "Every reputable scholar endorses the official story of the holocaust." It's rare that you'll ever see any such citations, or that you'll read the arguments presented by able scholars that question the veracity of the actual events. Like questioning our reasons for invading Iraq, you're dismissed with slander and labeled an enemy combatant.
Pursuing the truth should never be a crime. The idea is reserved for the dystopic tales of Orwell and Huxley. Real people don't support such legislation. But Europe is much more developed in modern tyranny, and so many of it's citizens are lame lap dogs that routinely cower to the demands of the state. I'm not familiar with any counter movements of freedom overseas, but I know there are a great many strong Christians that I hope are resisting such a despotic suggestion as criminalizing holocaust denial.
What happens in Europe doesn't stay in Europe. The Left Wing of the American ruling class envies the socialistic prison of modern Europe. You can expect that with a complete Democratic control of the U.S. federal government in 2008 groups like the ADL will seek similar legislation here in the United States.
Their goal has always been the establishment of hate crime laws. It's one of the primary means to controlling political dissent. Much like radical neo-conservatives would like to imprison or hang anyone who criticizes the War in Iraq, Left Wing Judaics seek similar penalties for anything they define as "hate." It's about control; and this from the same group that since 2000 has whined about protecting freedom of speech. Baloney!
