Ursula Haverbeck’s Case and The Harrit Rule

Ursula Haverbeck’s Case and The Harrit Rule
by Mary W Maxwell, PhD, LLB

The latest twist in Germany – the sentencing of Ursula Haverbeck, age 87, for Holocaust denial – has made me think of the Harrit Rule. I offer it here in case anyone finds it useful.

“The Harrit rule” is a conceptual device that I cooked up, under the inspiration of two articles by Dee McLachlan at GumshoeNews.com – regarding Niels Harrit’s case, and Matt Campbell’s case.

Professor Niels Harrit, of the Chemistry Department at University of Copenhagen, did some honest and earnest work on the presence of thermite at the World Trade Center after 9-11. He published his findings that counteract the official story.

Needless to say, that is a no-no. It’s OK for sloppy dissidents to rant about 9-11, but a Professor of Chemistry bringing in real evidence? Quick, call Crisis Management!

Professor Harrit was then dutifully labelled a “crackpot” by a newspaper in Denmark. Naturally, this harmed his career and so he sued the journalist for defamation. In a defamation suit, a defendant can wiggle out of paying damages by proving the truth of his claim. (In this case, the journalist’s claim was that Harrit is a crackpot rather than a reasonable scientist.)

The Harrit Rule

Harrit should have won the case, but lost. I now refer to this kind of fate as “the Harrit rule” – a secret rule, or at least a general understanding within government circles, that such challenges MUST be dismissed or defeated.

The courts know how to avoid hearing such cases, without getting to the merits. Typically the case will be dismissed, as it is a pain in the butt for a judge to have to actually adjudicate against an obvious winner.

No doubt you can think of many cases where “everybody knew” that the good party did not stand a chance. Why? Because the judicial system is part of government, and our governments are all run by a sort of mafia. (So say I, in my book, “Fraud Upon the Court.”)

Each judge has a way of avoiding her own guilt feelings, by coming up with a stock phrase that categorizes the claim as unworthy. When I sued President Bush in 2006 for threatening to attack Iran and Syria without a Congressional declaration of war, the judge (Paul Barbadoro of New Hampshire Federal District Court) said my claim was “facially absurd.”

9-11 Family Member Matt Campbell Sues the BBC

Matt Campbell lost his brother Geoff in the Twin Towers. He does not believe the Arab hijacker myth. He accuses the BBC of promulgating that myth and other outrageous lies. Matt correctly interprets such activity as “cover-up,” which is a crime itself. (A cover-up obstructs justice; the baddies can’t be identified.)

He went to a UK court to say that he would pay part of his TV licensing fee (that nation had required folks to pay a yearly fee for using TV), but would not pay such portion as supported the false journalism about 9-11. Actually, Matt said the BBC is supporting terrorists.

Before you hear the outcome, I’d like you to cast your vote: will Plaintiff Campbell prevail in court, or get thrown out on his ear?

Excellent. You got it. Go to the head of the class. This is what I mean by the Harrit rule. The outcome is determined in advance. So why have a court at all? It keeps some intellectuals employed, I suppose. And it allows us to continue to live in hope.

The Ill Effects of Hope

I think hope can be a very costly time-waster. It can cause us to postpone for decades our realization of the ways of the world. Isn’t it time we said, firmly, that no case is going to win if it would interfere with the myth of 9-11?

Already in the US Federal Court of the Southern District of New York, the one judge who has control of all 9-11 cases, Judge Alvin Hellerstein, has put paid to all challengers. Some were quite creative. Some involved insurance payments. Some involved allegations against the Saudi government. One was a RICO case.

They all got deep-sixed. Harrit rule, you know. I recommend we say this loud and clear, instead of saying “Wait! I think we can find a better legal hook on which to put our next case.” Let Niels Harrit be your guide. There are traitors in the courts. Period.

Ursula Haverbeck and Free Speech

Now we hear that Ursula Haverbeck has been sentenced to 10 months prison, for saying that the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland was a labor camp rather than an extermination camp. She violated Section 130 of the German law:

“Whosoever publicly or in a meeting approves of, denies or downplays an act committed under the rule of National Socialism of the kind indicated in section 6 (1) of the Code of International Criminal Law, in a manner capable of disturbing the public peace shall be liable to imprisonment not exceeding five years or a fine.”

More generally, it is said that holocaust denial or holocaust minimization “defames the dead.”

Personally, I can see that defaming the dead is a bad thing. For example, what if someone said that the ANZAC troops who went to Gallipoli did not really die by attacks from the Turks, but lazed on the beach and died of sunstroke? That would outrage every Aussie.

In Australia, however, you are free to spread such stories. The principle of free speech, which was famously hard won, prevails.

Perhaps a practical reason for not having a law against defaming the dead is the difficulty of policing it. Somebody might say his deceased neighbor was a whore, but who could be bothered to arrest him?

The main reason, though, for allowing -- and celebrating -- free speech, is to let people air their POLITICAL thoughts and criticisms. With any luck, such chatter will have an actual restraining influence on the king. Or at least it did, before the days of the well-organized Harrit rule.

Does It Defame the Dead to Question the Facts?

Even Blind Freddy can see that the purpose of Section 130 of the German law isn’t to protect the dead. Nor is it to protect the relatives of Holocaust victims from being shaken by new facts. After all, such relatives would want to be shaken.

Did your Mom in America enter hospital last year and die unexpectedly? If the death certificate says she died of a heart attack, and you saw nothing in her last hours to indicate that, you may want to question the death certificate. You would hardly be dishonoring your mother if you pressed for answers.

No, the cute little phrase in the German law was placed there for the purpose of criminalizing inquiry. Just as the Powers That Be don’t want anyone to take a close look at 9-11, they don’t relish an inquiry into the deaths at Auschwitz.

(Yet, I somehow think they also want cases like that of the Ursula Haverbeck to start a commotion. A “Je suis Charlie” type thing. Only instead of “Let’s point at the Muslims” it will be “Let’s point at the Jews.” Nothing better pleases our masters than to see two tribes going at each other.)

Voices From the Grave

I attended a ‘coming out party’ for my colleague Fredrick Toben, when he came out of prison in South Australia (technically for contempt of court, but really for having said that Auschwitz had nary a gas chamber).

A lady at the party sang a song, in German, that said “The dead are crying out from their graves for the truth.” That seems perfectly logical to me.

I imagine that Dr Jeff Bradstreet, for example, is crying out from his grave right now against the journalist at Forbes magazine, who not only insists that Jeff committed suicide but ridicules 'conspirators' -- including his family -- who say “No way.”

Are Jews the Attackers or the Attacked?

In keeping with my article yesterday at GumshoeNews.com, entitled “Is It Zionism or Something Else?,” I wish to state here that I think “Jews” are WRONGLY blamed for Section 130 and the persecution of revisionists Robert Faurisson, Ernst Zundel, and others. Yes, I do think that -- even though it’s counter-intuitive.

I’ve read that the plan to give Americans a heavy dose of Holocaust literature in the 1970s was made with an eye to creating an impregnable legend as to the particulars of what happened in the camps. (Notice how quickly a movie was made about the 9-11 legend, “Let’s Roll.)

However, planners would have recognized that some inquiring minds would eventually look to other sources and start doubting the facts. And the making of a “Harrit rule” in Germany must also have been prepared well in advance. (The Section 130 law was enacted in 1985.)

Sure, it’s easy to say that “the Jews” are the brains behind all this scheming, but count me out of believing that. Even if many Jewish judges or literary persons are going at full throttle in support of Section 130, I still see it as coming from higher up.

Article, Linked Below, about "Zionism"

At the moment, at GumshoeNews.com (based in Australia), we are debating how high is the “higher up,” and whether it has an ethnic connection. Or, to put it another way, does Zionism rule the world?

I am on record as wishing someone would bring a case against “Zionists” for 9-11 or whatever, and let everyone buy tickets to the fight. That would be a lot more interesting that whispering and worrying.

That said, I feel confident that a properly-conducted court case would reach the surprising (and life-saving for all of us) finding that the harm-doers, the Powers That Be, are higher up than the Zionists. They are really, really high up. Somebody ought to offer them a chance to come down. Poor, poor idiots.

Just my two cents.

Now here’s Part 2 of my ‘advice’ to the Governor of Massachusetts regarding the late Tamerlan Tsarnaev, from a Constitutional perspective.

 Mary Maxwell is delighted to announce that her 2015 book, “Fraud Upon the Court” (yes, she learned that phrase from Sherman Skolnick, RIP), is available at Amazon and at TrineDay.com. You may also like the book she co-wrote with Dee McLachlan, entitled “Truth in Journalism.”
