New Essay From Revisionist Professor Robert Faurisson
Thus far, Greece remains one of the few places on the European continent where one can still legally purchase, sell, buy materials on and speak or write on issues questioning the mythical Jewish versions of Second World War history. A testament to the immense power of International Jewry. Studying the fates of other countries, namely of the dominant economic and social powerhouses of the EU, one will see the extent of the West's enslavement to the all mighty Jew. Greece's deep dealings with the West, will soon mean , like France and Germany, deep bending of the knee and enslavement to the Jew.
Professor Robert Faurisson's trial is on July 11, 2006 next week, in Paris. He is being tried for having given an interview to the Iranian Sahar 1Television Network on February 3, 2005. Dr. Robert Faurisson is Europe's leading Holocaust revisionist scholar. He was educated at the Paris Sorbonne, and served as
associate professor at the University of Lyon in France from 1974 until 1990.
He is a recognized specialist of text and document analysis. After years of private research and study, Dr. Faurisson first made public his skeptical views about the Holocaust extermination story in articles published in 1978 in the French daily Le Monde. His writings on the Holocaust issue have appeared in two books and numerous scholarly articles, many of which have been published in the IHR's Journal of Historical Review.
The Notin Affair: Jewish Organizations Make the Law
Dr. Robert Faurisson
June 18, 1996
Since 1990, Bernard Notin, assistant professor of economics at the University of Lyon III, has been unable to practice his profession -- in spite of French law -- because of a decision by the Jewish institutions and organizations of Lyon represented by Dr. Marc Aron, (1) as well as the Union of Jewish Students of France (Union des Etudiants Juifs de France: UEJF).
No one protests this anomaly: neither Bernard Notin's colleagues, the president of his university, the national Minister of Education, the human rights organization Ligue des droits de l'homme, nor the major media. They remain silent, either because they approve this excessive display of power, or because they know these organizations are capable of unleashing at will a ruinous witch-hunt against heretics.
On June 7, 1994, the national daily newspaper Le Monde felt it necessary to announce that Notin was being hired to teach at the Mohammed I University in Oujda, Morocco, at the request of the Dean of the Faculty of Economics. The UEJF responded by bringing such pressure to bear internationally that within 48 hours the Moroccan university made it known it was not planning to hire Notin.
From the outset, Le Monde has been implacable toward Notin. Notably, it served as a mouthpiece for his persecutors with a January 28-29, 1990, item by Edwy Plenel entitled "Un article jugΓ© raciste et rΓ©visionniste suscite des protestations" ("An article judged racist and revisionist incites protests").
Notin's thought crime was to have authored an iconoclastic study on the role of the French media. It appeared in a specialized journal with a restricted circulation that is published with the approval of the prestigious Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), the National Center for Scientific Research. (Economies et sociΓ©tΓ©s, No. 8/ 1989 [Dec. 1989], University Press of Grenoble, pp. 117-133).
In passing, the author brought up the media's treatment of the subject of homicidal gas chambers, letting it be known that he is skeptical of the existence of these chemical slaughterhouses, and citing as his reference the 1980 revisionist book by Serge Thion, VΓ©ritΓ© historique ou vΓ©ritΓ© politique? ("Historical truth or political truth?").(2)
Thus began the campaign against this 39-year-old scholar (and sole breadwinner for a family with five small children) -- a campaign that eventually would surpass in vehemence and duration anything seen thus far along these lines. Because this story has already been covered in the French journal Revue d'histoire rΓ©visionniste, I shall not deal further with it here.(3)
On July 11, 1990, a Paris court sentenced Notin, on the basis of Article 1382 (on damages) to pay 25,000 francs (about $5,000) in damages to the "Movement Against Racism and For Friendship Among Peoples" (Mouvement contre le racisme et pour l'amitiΓ© entre les peuples: MRAP). The judgment was upheld by a decision on May 15, 1991. On appeal, the sentence was raised to 29,000 francs.
On the administrative level, the National Council for Higher Education and Research (Conseil national de l'enseignement supΓ©rieur et de la recherche: CNESER) also decided to impose penalties, although this matter is currently pending before the Council of State.
Bernard Notin tried to resume his work as a assistant professor, but Jewish organizations acted to prevent it. Each year, without fail, he writes to the president of his university formally to request a teaching assignment, along with a timetable. He receives no answer to his letters.
On February 3, 1993, he was persuaded to sign a news release that amounted to a solemn public recantation. In the text, after protesting against what had been done to him ("One intends anew, illegally, and through coercion, to forbid me to teach and to exercise the profession for which the taxpayers are paying me"), he declared that he was not questioning the genocide of the Jews nor the Nazi gas chambers. He added that his purpose had never been to "rewrite history improperly," and concluded notably: "If I have caused, involuntarily, the least suffering to anyone, I ask their forgiveness."
All for nothing: the ban continues to this day.
Bernard Notin's final lecture was on May 2, 1990. For more than six years, the predicament of this scholar, who is now 45 years old, has constituted an anomaly in both law and reason.
The Jewish organizations know quite well that no law authorizes them to impose such penalties on anyone. In showing their readiness to pressure an employer -- even a government institution -- to prevent an employee from practicing his profession, these organizations pose a threat to the livelihood of everyone who is not self-employed or independently wealthy. As for the nation's education administrators, they know that every civil servant has the right, in
the exercise of his duties, to government protection.
Jewish institutions and organizations, mouthpieces for the Jewish community, enjoy special privileges in France. The Notin affair demonstrates that they are in a position to dictate their own laws to the state. I do not know of any other institution, any other organization, or any other community in France capable of conducting a campaign of this kind, of persecuting a man with this ferocity, of pursuing him even in exile, and all this, if not with general
approval, at least without a word of protest.(4)
In France people say that "the Jews are like everyone else." In view of the Notin affair, I personally have difficulty believing it.

Notes
1.Β More than anyone else, Marc Aron bears responsibility for the hardships endured by Bernard Notin for more than six years, as well as for my own travails over the past 17 years. [Editor's note: The ban against Notin is still in force in August 1997.] During the late 1970s, Dr. Aron headed the joint committee of the Jewish institutions and organizations of Lyon. An eminent member of the exclusively Jewish lodge of B'nai B'rith, he also headed the European
section of the World Jewish Congress. For his role during the early 1990s, see: Emmanuel Ratier, Mystères et secrets du B'nai B'rith, la plus importante organisation juive internationale (Facta, 1993), pp. 284-287.
