Default The fraud of a condemnation

The fraud of a condemnation



http://libertadpedrovarela.over-blog...-64745257.html


Just before Christmas 2010, the editor and publisher, Pedro Varela, was sentenced in Spain to fifteen months imprisonment, with a possible further seven months to be added at a later date. The details of his “crime” are given below. Essentially this is yet another example, now notorious in contemporary Europe, of a writer and publisher being jailed for the expression of his non-violent views on certain aspects of the history and the politics of the twentieth century.

Free-speech campaigners have joined friends and colleagues of Pedro Varela in campaigning for his release. In the meantime, letters and cards of moral support and sympathy can been posted to Pedro Varela at his prison. But note: avoid all language of an aggressive or crude nature: such terms could make worse his situation:


Señor Pedro VARELA
Centro Penitenciario Brians 1,
Apartado de Correos 1000
08760 Martorell
Barcelona
SPAIN


The case against Pedro Varela is based on a series of legal, moral and intellectual frauds:

The fraud of the guilty sentence: The reality is that Pedro Varela has been deprived of his liberty, accused of “praising and exalting genocide”, “justifying genocide”, “propagating genocidal ideas” or “defending genocidal regimes”; he is accused of having committed these crimes by editing or disseminating the books of certain authors. It is now necessary to proclaim to the four winds that the jailing of Pedro Varela has been made possible only by resort to a multiple fraud.

A legal fraud: A fraud in that a law is employed which claims to equate certain thoughts, ideas, alternative politics or acts and past regimen equal to real, actual crimes, beyond any possible debate or discussion.

The fraud of the language employed: A fraud by which words take on a significance based upon the “understandings” of the mass-mind, as formed and influenced by propaganda.

The fraud of the falsification of history: The fraud whereby judges, state-prosecutors and propagandists, and not historians, decide what is and what is not an historical fact.

Fraud of illogical reasoning: whereby supposed facts, which are at the heart of the debate, are taken as established beyond any doubt.

The fraud of criminalizing authors: there does not actually exist an explicit list of banned authors, however the state authorities act as though certain authors are in fact banned: this violates basic constitutional principles, and makes a legal defence for editors and publishers of politically incorrect texts absolutely impossible.

The fraud of the sequestration and destruction of books: This new fraud effectively condemns by decree to the flames, texts which the fundamental principles of the system protect, and which are legal and freely available in most countries of the world.

The fraud of the dishonest scrutinizing of books: this fraud of bad faith, whereby phrases are dishonestly taken out of their context, in order to express thoughts that in many cases do not reflect the spirit of the work or its author.

The author of the manipulation of the intentions of the accused: by this fraud, the accused is held to have intentions exactly opposite to those that he proclaims. If the accused maintains that he does not accept that a historical genocide took place, then he is accused of wishing to promote such.

The fraud of extracting events from their historical time and place: by this new fraud a legal and actual government of a European nation is represented by the victorious powers of that war to be the very embodiment of a genocidal regime, whilst those same victorious powers represent themselves as holy entities.

In these circumstances, in which the reality is that books are seized and destroyed and editors are imprisoned, it is most necessary to stress that not even historical national socialism or defensive racism should not, as abstract ideas, be persecuted, because those ideologies should be accommodated “within the freedom of belief”. And the right to the liberty of expression should prevail over any restrictive legal interpretation. Or does the State prosecutor determine what the citizens may think?
