For those who are deaf, or for those who are unable to take the time to listen but will read, or for those who live where they are unable to click on DavidDuke.com but have friends in other countries who can email them the words, or for those who can translate from English to their native languages; the staff of DavidDuke.com present the text of Dr. Duke’s story, as told to Don Black on April 26, 2009 in their special radio program, about his arrest in the Czech Republic accused of thoughtcrimes, and of oldfashioned heresy. Dr. Duke tells of his fight, on behalf of all people, for freedom of speech and the right to survive in a world where it has become a crime to speak the truth.

We thought Dr. Duke’s words to be so important that we put them into print in order to reach the people of both America and Europe, and to remind us of the loss of our own ancestor’s lives in the fight for freedom of speech. We also seek to educate Americans about how Europeans are oppressed by anti-speech laws, similar to our own so-called “anti-hate” laws and bills that will turn ordinary people into criminals right here in America. The crime?—Thinking. This is the story of an American prisoner of conscience. –Admin Staff “THE TRUTH WILL PREVAIL”: The Story of David Duke’s arrest in the Czech Republic

Don Black opened the interview and introduced David Duke and the story of his arrest in the Czech Republic on the evening of Friday, April 24, 2009, when about 16 Czech police officers surprised Dr. Duke at a restaurant in Prague, and then took him to jail. He was released in the middle of the night. Don asked Dr. Duke to tell us what happened to him.

………………………….

DR. DAVID DUKE:

…before I say anything else, I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to so many people who post and read Stormfront and who listen to our radio programs, and to people that read my website, DavidDuke.com, and friends throughout the world. I’ve never received such an outpouring of support and love and I’m so appreciative of that.

I also want to thank, before I make any comments on what happened and on the nature of what happened, to thank the people of the Czech Republic. They’re not responsible for what the state did—what the government did in this case. In fact, it is very interesting to note that the article, and I have a number of newspaper articles from the Czech Republic—and I must tell you that this must be good news to a number of people in America who are not used to somewhat of a free press—is that a great many of the articles in the mainstream media and daily media in the Czech Republic were very supportive of me and my freedom of speech rights.

In fact, one leftist publication ran a complete story on the front page, a complete interview of me in my own words. They didn’t alter a word, I taped the interview. In fact, I’m going to put the taped interview up on DavidDuke.com and you’re welcome to do so on Stormfront. They put all my words out exactly as I said them. If you look at the internet responses in the Czech publications—I don’t speak Czech, but I have a lot of Czech friends obviously, they said that overwhelmingly the people were supportive of my right to be there and even the basic ideas about why I was there.

Now, as far as what happened, it was very simple. I was invited to Charles University to give a lecture. As people know, I’m a PhD and I’ve lectured in over at least three hundred universities in Europe and America. I’ve also spoken in every major country in Europe, in Germany and Austria. And they’re very tough on these laws, by the way. I’ve spoken in Sweden and Denmark—I’ve spoken obviously in Italy, in Spain I’ve had major speeches all over and I have never had a problem in Europe.

I was just shocked, when I got there, we did some sightseeing, we had a very special tour, the people of the Czech Republic treated me very well. In fact, we went to the cathedral on the hill—it’s a beautiful old city, it’s a fantastic city, in fact it’s one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. We went up to the old cathedral, and we walked in and the guides knew who I was and they arranged for a special tour of their cathedral. They brought me into the places the tourists usually aren’t allowed, into the crypts and where the kings are buried and they told me about all those things. They treated me really quite royal in the country and quite well.

Coming down from the castle and the cathedral we came down to a small pub where we were going to get some food and talk with friends, and suddenly about 16 swat-clad police showed up. We didn’t even speak English; not surprisingly there was not an English speaker. I obviously knew what they were doing. And they proceeded to take me to the car, and bring me down to the police station and held me there. And later, we made statements after we saw the lawyer. That is one advice I’d give anyone who is ever in any legal difficulty, never say anything until you have your lawyers there. That’s the biggest mistake people make.

I made a very powerful statement. I pointed out—and by the way, I’m very glad that this radio program can be heard in the Czech Republic—and maybe this is my first chance to speak directly to the people of the Czech Republic as to what I was going to do and what I believe, and this is a great opportunity. I said in my statement, and I did make a statement, I didn’t answer any questions, but I did make a statement with my lawyers present, and they were very good lawyers. And I said specifically: that I’m shocked by this – and pointed out that I have been speaking all over Europe; I answered some of the charges and I said specifically that I’m not a quote, “Holocaust denier”; I said I do believe in freedom of speech on this issue and that I think it’s outrageous that people are put in prison for this; that I was there in the country to speak to the Czech people and to the European people as far as immigration is concerned; as far as the New World Order is concerned; as far as the global economy is concerned; and the efforts of globalism and as far as the problems of international Zionism—how they dominate the American government and how it’s affecting the world and moving the world toward war and other terrible, terrible scenarios for the planet.

I said that I grew up—in fact, I grew up as a young man really admiring the Czech people because the Czech people showed tremendous courage in standing up to Bolshevism and communism after the Second World War. I also pointed out that I was invited by a university where one of its founders, one of its main people, was Jan Hus. Jan Hus was the greatest hero of the Czech Republic. In fact, there’s a holiday, a day off, in the Czech Republic where everybody knows his name. There’s no individual in the Czech Republic who is more honored than Jan Hus is.

Jan Hus was actually a religious reformer, the church at that time was selling indulgences, which was a corrupt practice, and Hus thought this was improper and corrupt. So, he decided that he’d speak out about it. He showed courage and he spoke his conscience and exercised his conscience. And the church charged him with basically thoughtcrimes, much like they charged me, as a kind of hate crime. They said he was a hater of God, and that he was a heretic. And of course, he wasn’t a heretic. Jan Hus just didn’t believe in indulgences—that is to sell people’s way into heaven was corrupt as far as Christianity was concerned. For his pains for speaking the truth, and talking and acting courageously, Jan Hus was charged as a heretic by the church and burned at the stake. This was, of course, in the early fifteenth century; 1426 if I’m correct, and it’s just amazing that this same process is still going on as he was one of the major factors in the university.

So here I come to make a speech; before I even make a speech, the speech is canceled by pressure, mainly by these Jewish extremists who wanted to prevent my message, because they know that I am one of the biggest critics of Israel in the world. They don’t want the people of Czech Republic finding out how they have a stranglehold over American politics, how Barack Obama’s biggest aids are Axelrod, David Axelrod, who was a Jewish Israeli hit man basically, a Zionist hit man that got rid of Charles Percy; and how his chief of staff (Rahm Emanuel) is described by the New York Times, described as the second most powerful man in America as Rambo Emanuel, a man who went and fought for Israel during the Gulf War, who served in an army of a foreign country. Now this is the chief of staff to the president of the United States of America—and of course, Obama’s biggest contributors were from the very biggest pro-Zionist firm, Goldman Sachs, which is probably the most influential international financial firm in the world, that gave Barack Obama, as far as corporate support, the biggest corporate support of his entire campaign. And also gave five million dollars, the biggest corporate support of the United States congress in terms of campaign (contributions). They didn’t want someone coming to the Czech Republic to talk about that.

The Holocaust issue was entirely a misnomer. I wasn’t going to the Czech Republic to talk about the Holocaust, or even to focus primarily on the lack of freedom of speech on the issue. If I were to talk about crimes I would have talked about the millions and millions of people killed by the Bolsheviks and the legacy of the Bolshevism that still seems to exist in the West. Most of these Neocons that control America, they really began as Bolsheviks. They just realized that Bolshevism or communism was not going to work as a philosophy to get over on the American people. So, they became, quote, “conservatives”, unquote.

And they didn’t want me speaking on these issues. They didn’t want the Czech people to hear the truth. And so they used the oldfashioned methods of just suppression and basically repression to try to prevent my message from getting there. Well, in my statement I said I admire the Czech people and I was shocked that the Czech Republic seemed to be turning back to the ways of the communists; that during the days of the communists the Czech people stood up for the principle of freedom of speech; just like the American founding people, founding fathers, stood up for freedom of speech. We put the freedom of speech and press into the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States because of that, but all other freedoms are dependent upon the idea of freedom of speech.

Because without freedom of speech, a state, a government, can do anything; they can suppress, they can jail, they can murder; and if you don’t have the right to know about these questions they can get away with anything. If people know about these issues, obviously the public is not going to stand for millions of people or thousands of people to be suppressed or tortured or murdered.

So, I talked about that in my statement and I think that the government realized in holding me on these charges, in this very dank cell and it’s not very comfortable in these cells, but I know this is part of my job – it’s part of the nature of my work, I mean, I stand up for the truth in a world where the truth is not accepted by the powers that be. I’m obviously a revolutionary to the people that have power. But, I think, this statement was very powerful. The Prosecutor read it and eventually said, “We have no case; the Czech people are going to rally behind this guy, and we better let him out of prison.”

Maybe they will proceed with the charges; the charges are not dropped by any means, and we have to prepare for a case. I know there is going to be enormous Jewish extremist pressure to prosecute me, and to try to silence my voice, and to put me away.

As far as my personal experience with this thing, I’ve spent some time in the American gulag and it brought back a lot of memories. It’s a very depressing thing to be put into this dirty, nasty little cell; and that is not the big problem. The big problem is not knowing if (how long) you’re going to be there for—we thought I’d be there at least ‘till Monday; not knowing if I was going to be there in that cell for three days or three years. That’s the problem. You think about all the work that you want to do for the cause and you think about the idea of breathing the fresh air, the sunshine, and the mountains and you think about all the important loved ones in your life and the lack of contact, and basically being like on a Devil’s Island somewhere in another country where you don’t speak the language; without being in touch with people, without being able to have the tools with which to write and the things you need to write and to do the publications you need to do, and the interviews you need to do.

It’s a very dark feeling that comes over you. But, I just basically accepted it. When I took up my life’s work, I realized many years ago that the truth is a very difficult thing to fight for in a world that’s full of lies and full of deceit. And you’ve just got to stand up and tell the truth, and, come what may; and you’ll do what you must do. You’ve also got to be intelligent about this thing. I was cautious. I didn’t think there’d be any problem like this. Our local people didn’t think there’d be any problem like this. Our lawyers didn’t think there was going to be a problem. We certainly want to have our people avoid imprisonment whenever they can, at the same time, getting out the information that we need to get out.

So, basically, the dirty blankets I had in there and the steel and ripped little bunk I had in there, I just put the blanket down, laid the blanket down; and I actually slept for a couple hours. I didn’t eat the food they gave me; it was kind of cold and old, because it was kind of late at night when I was in there. I said, “come what may”, and I will continue to do what I have to do. I was in there, I was actually thinking, when I was in there that they have a great example in the Czech Republic in Jan Hus; and I knew that I wasn’t going to face being burned at the stake. If he could put up with being burned at the stake for his truth, I can certainly put up with being in prison no matter how long. Of course, I was very happy, when they decided to at least temporarily release me, and I was thankful for that. I was thankful to see my friends and be free.

I don’t know what’s going to come from here. All I know is that we must prepare a case – that the lawyers are very good lawyers, but there’s lots of expenses and costs and the lawyers themselves need to be paid for their time. It’s going to be quite a bill; I hope our listeners out there can do us a favor and make a little bit of sacrifice and give me some legal defense money so that we can really make sure that we are ready. It is very important that they continue on against these charges; and I am still charged. I want to make that clear to people; that they continue on against the charges that we prepare a very powerful case; the most powerful case that we can under the circumstances. Winning that case would be a great victory for us. Of course, losing would be a loss in many, many ways. I certainly would be lost from doing what I do best, and that is bringing our message to so many of our people around the world. And that’s the biggest thing.

I feel like my life – I’m like a pebble in the sand at the beach with billions of sand pebbles. But I really believe that what I’m doing is really important and my life is not that important [we, your staff, and all who know you personally differ with you immensely on this point!], but that this cause is and that the work that I do for this cause is important. And I certainly do want to stay free. And frankly, I won’t be ashamed about it, I do want to continue to exercise the great feeling of freedom; to walk, and choose your day, and do the research that you want to do and write the books you want to do and hold your loved ones and give them an embrace and all the things that you can do when you are free as compared when you’re not free. However, I will never surrender my principles and this cause that we are in because of the threat of imprisonment. I will never submit to that as a free man and as a good European.

So, before I turn it back to you, Don, I also want to say, a little bit of what I was going to tell the university and tell in my speeches. First off, a few people ask me about my statement on DavidDuke.com that I also put on Stormfront, about my issues. What I did was in that statement to refute some of the charges. I was not there to refute the Holocaust in any way. I was there to stand up for the European people – for our heritage and our rights. So, I had to put that down clearly. I also want to make it clear the charges state that I’m a racist; a racist is someone who wants to suppress other people; who wants to cause problems; or, even to the extent because of the Klan designation, you know that I left the Klan thirty years ago and I was never violent. They wanted to make the image that I was some sort of violent person.

And the truth is what I wanted to state in my speech, I made the statement I said this at the interview, the interviewers and the newspapers, and some of those that printed, were printed in the papers, on the front page, in fact, I said very clearly, that I was there to support non-violent legal resistance of the Czech people for the heritage and freedom of the Czech people and the European people; that the Czech people have the right to have their own government; a government that is in response to their own issues, their ideas, and their heritage; that they have a right to preserve these aspects of their unique culture. And I think all European people have that right, and I think all people of the world have that right. Not only Europeans, but certainly Europeans have that right as well.

I pointed out that there’s so many people in the Czech Republic and around Europe who are very big supporters – usually liberals who are supporters of Tibet who know that massive immigration and control over Tibet by the Chinese will destroy the unique Tibetan people, their heritage, their culture, their religious traditions and values, and how this would be a tragedy if this unique and beautiful culture was lost to the world. And I say, yes, that’s true that we should preserve Tibet; but if we preserve Tibet, then we should certainly preserve the Czech people, and the European people and the beautiful culture of Europe. I pointed out that even EU studies have shown that by the end of this current century, which is a blink of the eye historically, people of European descent, Europeans could become a minority in our own homelands, a minority – that the people who replace them would have a very different religious attitude, governmental attitude, political attitude, attitudes towards freedom, and everything than we have.

I also was going to talk about the fact, and I’m saying this as a patriotic American and I know there are lots of Americans listening, and this is very important, that I was going to tell the Czech people, and I’m telling them right now that they must resist the influence of the control of the United States just as they resisted the influence of the control of the communist occupation. And I say this as a patriotic American because the principle that America was founded on was the idea of independence – that every nation has the right to control its own affairs and its own values.

The truth is, that the United States of America today is dominated by globalist, Jewish extremists who are pursuing this Afghan war and they pursued the Iraq war, and they want to create this horrible war with Iran. The world is at a very dangerous crossroads -

You’re not being a racist or extremist to talk about Jewish extremism anymore than you’re being hateful to talk about Islamic extremism. And there is a danger in Islamic extremism and terrorism. There’s even some aspects of Christian extremism. There’s extremism in all different religions and cultures; but Jewish extremism does exist. It’s violent. It’s very intolerant. It’s very extreme. But there’s a difference that exists between the Jewish extremism, the Zionism, and the Islamic extremism. Imagine if Al Quaeda, for instance, controlled some of the leading financial international banking houses of the world, like Goldman Sachs, probably the most influential company in international finance—you can look at the history of Goldman Sachs, a long time Zionist, Jewish extremist organization and the biggest contributor to Obama.

The Jewish extremists we have right now who are dominating the United States, and dominating much of the policies of the world; the Jewish extremists are not men like the Islamic extremists that we have running around somewhere in the desert, with a few people here and there. They’re really running governments, and they are affecting governments.

We saw that in the Iraq war. Not only do we have over a million Iraqis dead and probably a few million wounded and suffering and made homeless and going through terrible deprivation. We also have thirty thousand Americans at least wounded and maimed, maybe hundreds of thousands mentally affected. This is according to the United States government and our military. We’ve had over four thousand dead there. We’ve spent trillions of American dollars. And it’s certainly a contribution toward the economic crisis we are having right now in the Unites State of America. That’s where the real terrorism, the biggest dangers to the world, are. Not from Islamic extremists or other kinds of extremists.

It’s been said in the Czech Republic that these Czech patriots are this terrible danger. Are they really?? I mean, I’ve seen the realities of massive immigration in Europe, throughout Europe. I’ve seen it on the films and I’ve also seen it with my own eyes in the streets, the parts of Paris when you go into that look like some sort of third world country and you don’t even feel safe getting out of your automobile. And these people look at you with absolute hatred. I’ve seen the riots and the burning cars and the burning buildings that have gone on in Paris, and that has gone on in Brussels, and in other places. I’ve seen the division and the hatred that’s being created by immigration into Europe. I don’t want to divide people; I was accused of dividing people; I want peace.

And I know if we have massive immigration of a different culture, of a different heritage, a different way of life into the heart of formerly homogenous countries that this can’t help but produce hatreds, and violence, and cost lives.

Look at the crime rates that have increased in Europe. How many tens of thousands of victims of criminal behavior have been produced by this immigration? How much drugs have been brought into Europe and for that matter the United States by immigration? This is true all over the world. These issues aren’t being talked about by the media.

You’re not being hateful to talk about these things. I don’t want to talk about these things in a hateful way. I want to talk about the issues that are so critical to the Czech people and critical for the European people; and really critical for all people. What I preach, what I was planning to say in my speech at the university, is that all people, every heritage, every race has the right to preserve itself, its ideals and values.

I don’t support what’s called racism, because racism is defined as suppressing other people. That’s what Israel is doing today. Israel has gone into other people’s lands, taken it, murdered them, tortured them by the tens of thousands; invaded Lebanon and killed tens of thousands of people and wounded men and women; we’ve had the thing that happened in Gaza. In fact, the real racist state in the world, the most prominent racist state in the world is Israel. Israel is a state where Jews segregate non-Jews from Jews in schools and settlements. Even the settlements they stole from the Palestinians, they now have rules where Palestinians can’t even walk on the streets, can’t even come into the settlements.

Another good example is: in Israel they have laws, they have government policy where they will not even recognize a marriage between a Jew and, say, a Christian, or a non-Jew. They won’t even recognize—it’s not even possible to legally marry in Israel. Now imagine for a moment if the Czech Republic or the United States of America, or any country of Europe passed a law that we’re not even going to legally recognize the marriage of a Christian person to a Jew. Or a White with a Black person. Imagine for a moment, if that happened in any European country, we’d practically go to war against that country. The hatred would be flowing; there would be boycotts; I remember when Haider was elected in Austria that he just simply said, and he wasn’t very radical, he just simply wanted to control immigration and Austria was threatened with boycotts from the rest of the EU and Austria was told they weren’t allowed to elect the person of their choice because he had the wrong opinions. There’s democracy for you in action -

But imagine if any European country or Czech Republic had that kind of law, and yet the leaders of Israel are met with and fêted by the leaders of Czechoslovakia and other countries of Europe, and they are treated as honorable people with no question. There’s not a challenge to them about these policies about the murders and so forth they have in Gaza. So, again, I think the whole source of this issue was the same thing we talk about so often – and that is the power of Jewish extremism, Zionist extremism, and the power that they have in all these countries. They have more power probably in the United States than they have anywhere else, but they have influence in the Czech Republic, they have influence in Germany, in Austria, in France, and Ireland. And they don’t want any person coming to them and challenging their power; challenging or exposing their own racism.

You’re not a racist and you’re not a hater because you expose the biggest and most supremacist ideology in the world. And that’s why I think that they made these maneuvers to treat me the way they treated me; to arrest me like a common criminal, throw me in jail—simply because I have ideas that they don’t want the Czech people to hear.

And the suppression that I went under and the threat of my liberties for the next few years—and if I were charged, I’d certainly face those charges, and I’d fight them—but, suppression of my liberties, is not just the suppression of the liberties of this one guy, David Duke; it’s really the suppression of the people of the Czech Republic, the people of Europe, the people of the world to hear different points of view. And to have the liberty and the freedom to be allowed to hear a different point of view than that of the powerful media establishment, this globalist media and political establishment that’s leading us to so many problems.

The Czech Republic has been a very brave nation, and the Czech people, they opposed the EU constitution as so did the people of Ireland. And thank God for that. They should be admired for that because, although we should have cooperation in Europe, we must never go to war. I think the sovereignty of each nation must be protected and preserved, and the history and heritage of each nation.

And I was there to support the Czech people and support these values and issues. And I know the people of the Czech Republic, who are listening to me now, many of them, I know they were told a very different message, if they listen to my message clearly today, they know that my message was so strongly different than the way the media has characterized my message and that’s the way it’s been for many years. These people—they want to lock me up where I can’t reach people, and tell people of the world what I actually believe–and what I’m supposed to believe and what I’m supposed to stand for. They’ve been doing this for years.

But, the truth is, that if people actually go to my website and listen to my actual broadcasts in my own words, and let me lecture, let me speak, they’ll realize that I’m a far—much different person than the way they portray me.

So, I just want to let all our people know that I thank you for your support, and your overwhelming well wishes. I hope that everyone listening who does support my work and my freedom will immediately go to DavidDuke.com and make a donation; at least get a subscription, or buy one of my books or something to support this effort, so we have enough money – and it takes money in this world – to fight these charges so I can stay free to continue to fight for these issues.

I also want to say that I don’t blame the Czech people for this problem. I understand this was a question of a small number of people who are controlling the government, and certain aspects of government; but not everybody in government, but certain people who are very afraid of the fact that I might show them up at being more patriotic for the Czech Republic, than the people who now control the Czech Republic politically. I hope that gives a pretty good base for what’s transpiring here.

DON BLACK:

Well I think you did describe it pretty well. I know a lot of our people have been eagerly waiting to hear you, because it was kind of traumatic for a lot of us to hear you were actually thrown in jail; simply for traveling to the Czech Republic to gives some lectures.

I think even though the news coverage was outrageous in many ways—it’s all about “Klan” [chuckles]. About the “Klan terrorizing Negros for decades”, according to some of the international news sources. That’s what it was all about—it had nothing to do with you being a state representative of Louisiana or all of your books, all of your career. It’s all about “the Klan”. Crazy, isn’t it?

DR. DAVID DUKE:

Over thirty years ago I was head of a group that was completely non-violent and was never charged with any crime against any minority whatsoever; and the fact that my entire political life, as you know, Don, because you were with me those days in those same endeavors; I’ve always condemned violence, I’ve always advocated legality and non-violence. And no member of our group was ever even charged with any sort of violence against a minority. Or even accused of by a minority. And yet the image they’re trying to present is totally crazy.

You know, the one thing I did, Don, which is interesting to point out, and this is interesting for our Czech listeners, and I know there’s a lot of them who are going to be listening to this broadcast over the next few days: I made a point to some of the newspaper reporters that I did talk to. I said, you know isn’t it amazing, you have all of this talk about David Duke being in the Klan over thirty years ago, and headlines of that nature, yet, the new prime minister, Mr. Fischer, who was of that certain persuasion, by the way, is a former communist. Now, when the new prime minister of the Czech Republic is sworn in, he is a former communist—they’re not going to be playing the Internationale, they’re not going to be showing films of the communist invasion, the communist tanks, and the control over the Czech people. They’re not going to be showing that. They’re not going to be saying, “Former Communist becomes the prime minister of the Czech Republic.” They’re not going to be saying that. It again shows you the hypocrisy involved here.

Communism, by many estimates, communism has killed from fifty to a hundred million people worldwide. That’s what communism’s done. Communism has murdered ten times the estimates of the Holocaust researchers emphasize; ten times those estimates. And yet we don’t get movies about it; we don’t hear things about it: There’s no problem if someone is a former communist.

There is a problem with someone who was in a proscribed organization over thirty years ago as a young man. It’s really incredibly hypocritical, but it’s an example of what goes on in terms of our society and who really controls things and how things are twisted. The truth is not in that. But these people who control the media they just do not purvey the truth. They are just not into that. I must say there was some media that didn’t do that. But, yes, it was really amazing. International media, there was this story that went out in almost every paper in the United States. I saw the Yahoo reports. I was covered by many local reports; covered by national radio NPR; I was covered by a thousand different news outlets and they all had that “Klan” stuff in it.

And yet, that was not any part of the story. I’ve been a member of the house of representatives in the state of Louisana. I’ve got books in fourteen languages. I have been one of the leading American opponents of the Iraq war. They could just as easily say, “Famous American Opponent of the Iraq War, who was right about the weapons of mass destruction comes to Czech Republic”. Or they could say, “Former American Representative”, or “Critic of Israel comes to Czech Republic”. But, it’s “former Ku Klux Klansman”, almost like it’s happened yesterday. I’m 58 years old; that was over thirty years ago, now, when I was in the klan; and I was a non-violent person.

You have got leaders of Israel coming from the Israeli state which has just recently killed over a thousand men, women and children; and innocent men, women and children in Gaza; that burned the homes of 20,000 Gazans. And they don’t say, “The Gazan Murderers come to the Czech Republic”. That’s not how the headlines read. And yet, that’s exactly what they do. If the head of Israel came to the Czech Republic tomorrow, the headlines wouldn’t read, “Gazan Murderers come to Czech Republic”. And these people did this, what?—a few months ago?

But, “David Duke as klansman” is unbelievable hypocrisy. But then again, it’s kind of interesting, by doing that they also create a lot of publicity. They also create a story. They make it newsworthy in a sense. And when—because of this, when they get their curiosity up, and they come to my website, and your website, and they actually read what I say and believe in my own words, they say, “Hey, we’ve been lied to”. And it really facilitates their continued awakening.

One other thing I wanted to say, too, I know we’re going to do a fairly abbreviated program today: I want to mention the fact, that on my website, I’ve really made, kind of a new departure, I’ve started to put My Awakening in English, in an audio book format. I’ve got a number of chapters; I’m posting a new chapter every day. I‘ve been getting a lot of wonderful response from it. I hope it’s a real contribution to people’s understanding of the issues. It really goes deeply into the race issue, and the scientific evidence. And also poses to people who’ve read my books, these books are not books of hate or repression. It’s really a book about the real world, the way it is; and it’s a way to solve great problems facing our country, facing all nations with reality in mind. You can’t really solve difficulties. You’re not going to lessen violence until you understand the sources of that violence. You’re not going to solve any sort of problem ‘till you understand what the problem really is.

And my book works very hard and there’s a lot of research growing and to find out what the problem is. And this book is really about making a better world for our Europeans and American people; but really for all people because the principles contained in it I think are true and sound for every race and every heritage. And I let the chips fall where they may in the book. I praise the Europeans. I don’t say the Asian people are necessarily higher than us in an evolutionary scale, but I point out in the book that Asians generally these days do score higher in IQ than we do. And I’m very fair about things. And I believe that Asians should preserve their culture, and I believe we should preserve our culture. I think that coming from this standpoint, we can truly, truly work into a system where every nation and every race respects one another.

I’m also not in favor of any sort of American control over the rest of the world. I just want—in fact, what’s happening is the same thing that Pat Buchanan says, is that we sacrifice a republic for an empire, much like the Roman Empire did. And we shouldn’t be trying to control Afghanistan, or some far off land. We should be trying to make sure that our land, and our culture, and our heritage is preserved, and the highest ideals of our people, the highest morals and principles, and spirituality; and all the great things that make up the great American people and American nation and European nations. We have such a great culture. And look at the art, the beauty, and the architecture and the principles of freedom that our people have worked for.

And that’s why I’m saying what’s going on in the Czech Republic, what’s going on in many places in Europe; where people are in prison for their opinions—this is a step backward. This is a de-evolutionary form. This is a retreat toward barbarism. This is a retreat toward oppression. And this is not consonant with the innate values of the European people. I’m standing for those values, and as a person doing that I really believe that they could just as easily identify me as a human rights activist, as they could any other human rights activists. Maybe more so. Because I’m talking about the human rights that exist for both the European people and all the peoples of the world. And I believe in human rights of every race. I also will fight and stand, at the cost, at the risk of my freedom, or even my life, cause I know a lot of people out there—of our enemies are crazies, especially with these radical Zionists. I will stand even with the risk of those things that I so cherish and so love for the human rights of our people.

And I think that’s healthy. I think that should be true of the Czech people, Irish people, all the European people, of the Russian people, of the Chinese, of the Africans. Everybody on this planet has the right to preserve their heritage. That’s not racism. That’s not repression.

The racist state, the supremacist state, of course is the Israeli supremacist state. And the ironic thing is that this supremacist state is being supported and in many ways, aided, by most of the nations of the world who supposedly are opposed to quote, “racism”.

DON BLACK:

Well that’s all certainly true, but our people must realize that when people are attracted to this movement because we tell the truth, are frequently afraid; and they’ve got good reason to be; they’ve got damned good reason to be afraid; because we have some very powerful enemies. They can cause you a lot of problems if you stand up for the truth.

DR. DAVID DUKE:

If you’re a leader, that’s for sure.

DON BLACK:

If you’re a leader, definitely. But for most people, of course, not that much is going to happen. They can promote our ideas without too much fear of repercussions. But if they really push hard and they become leaders, then there is something to worry about. And I know that you, David, you are criticized by some people on our own board!—for going to the Czech Republic where you knew you might be arrested.

But of course you knew you might be arrested; you know you have powerful enemies. You know what’s going on in Europe. You know what’s going on in this country. There are some real threats. We have real enemies. But somebody has to stand up and fight. Somebody has to take a stand and use their real name and not back down from our enemies.

DR. DAVID DUKE:

Absolutely. You know, Don, let me say something about that, too. You can be arrested anywhere. You know, I was arrested in the United States essentially because of the fact that I take the stand that I take. And I stand up for the European American people. And I hope our people realize very clearly that the battle we’re in as Europeans is a worldwide battle. It’s a European and American battle. We’re all in this together. Our enemies are arranged all over the world. The reason why the war turned out the way it did, and disasters that took place for 60 million dead Europeans in the Second World War, the reason why that happened was because our movement wasn’t around the world. Americans were controlled at that time by the same Zionist extremists that led us into war.

And of course, Russia was led by the Jewish extremist, or at least the legacy of the Jewish extremists, in what was the Soviet Union. And even if one nation comes free, and it may be a European nation, and because they’re smaller, it gives much more opportunity for one nation in the world to break free of its control. To really have a society based on our ideas; honor, and courage, and duty, and discipline and beauty, and love, and education, and all these things that we want for our people.

And if that happens, I guarantee you, just like if the Czech Republic passed the kind of laws Israel has, if that happens, boy the rest of the world would jump on them. We can’t afford, even America is not necessarily that strong enough to withstand it all. They would destroy us economically; whatever way they had to do it, if we stood up. This is a worldwide problem.

And I love the American people. I am an American. I love the South. I’m a Southerner, probably, first even than just an American. I’m a Southerner. I love the history of the Southern confederacy, and the great men who fought both for the American republic first and for their own confederacy. I love our people very deeply. But I also love all Europeans and all Europeans wherever they are in the world are my brothers.

And at the same time, I must say, even though it’s not exactly the same feeling, I absolutely feel respect for all the people of the world that act in a dignified way, in a decent way, in a fair way, and a non-violent way toward us. I criticize anybody in the world who acts repressively and hatefully. However, I don’t think it’s our job to get involved in all the wars in the world and these activities.

So, it’s very important for people to understand, I hope, especially our people that go to DavidDuke.com and Stormfront, that I spend about half my time in Europe, and about half my time in the United States; and it’s very important to understand that in America we have a couple hundred million Europeans, in Europe, close to where I am here, we have close to 650 million Europeans. So the fight is a worldwide fight. Everything I’m doing is read by Americans, in fact, what I did here in America was read by people all over America; they came to the website, they learn. This was positive in a real sense for the people of America, as much, maybe more so than the people in Europe, in a real sense. And I hope they realize that.

And heck, if I people think that I want to go to jail, that I want to be a martyr, I don’t. I love life. I climb the mountains, you know, and I love to swim. And I love the feel of my hand around the waist of my beautiful lady. I love life; I love the beauty that I see around me. I love the art I’m able to witness and the art that I try to create. I love our people, the expression of our people in so many ways. And I love being free. And because I love the outdoors so much, and I have since I was a child, I think it’s especially hard on me when I am locked behind gray walls, and not be able to walk in the forest and hills, and just feel the sun.

It’s not my choice. I don’t—well, it is my choice in a sense—but I don’t do this because I want to be a martyr. And, my God, I will fight like tooth and nail, to stay out of jail. And I realize that we have to do certain things to be able to fight. And that’s the nature of politics and the nature of the real world; and you’ve also got to live in the world itself.

So I take precautions. But at the same time, I know this is my job in life. This is what I do. This is my responsibility. At least one guy in western European society has got to stand up and basically tell the whole truth, and go anywhere, and speak, and stand, openly and honestly. It’s the least I can do. I don’t think they’ll put me at the stake. Some of the extremists might get rid of me if they would get a hold of me, but I don’t think they’d burn me at the stake; and if I suffered a loss of freedom that’s tough: This is my job. I just hope that people will respect me for what I’m doing and support me because I can’t do this work without the support of people. I can’t fight these people and stay out of jail unless the people listening give us the means to fight. The ammunition for fighting today, that ammunition, unfortunately, is money. I don’t  think people have much money in this economy.

My God, if we don’t do the things that we gotta to do, and give the support we’re going to give, we can lose everything. We can lose our heritage, our freedom. Our children are going to have a very, very dark and dank future and all the sacrifices of thousands of generations of our people will be lost.

And freedom, by the way, is already going by the wayside: You can see the writing on the wall…… We’ve got to stand up like Jan Hus, and stand up honestly and open to the truth. Not pussyfoot around it, like, so many quote, “conservatives” do, who think they can’t about the major issues, that they are going to fight the extremist Jewish power who has so much influence on the media and government, who control our foreign policy and control Obama – without even talking about who they are.

You can do these things in a legitimate way, in a legal way, in an honorable way, in a fair way, and a non-hateful way. Or you can do it in the method of the Jewish extremists, kind of—Jewish Hollywood, that give us an impression of how one of our people are supposed to act and how they’re supposed to talk. And they try to make our people out to be rough, and nasty, and hateful, and oppressive, and cruel. I even saw a couple posts on the thread about me, which were very violent posts, which I hope the moderators will look at and clean up, and get those out of Stormfront. ‘Cause those people that start talking about any sort of violence, they’re doing the exact opposite of what we need to do to convince our people.

We don’t even have the ability to be violent even if we wanted to. The only way we can win this battle ahead of us is if we win the hearts and minds of our people, and we talk that way, and we fulfill stereotypes, all you’re doing is helping the extremists who control our media, you’re helping them to convince us that they are what we are, what they say we are, rather than what we really are.

So, I hope our people will understand this, and I hope our people will realize that it hurts my heart when some people are thinking, well, what am I doing there. I’m doing what I have to do. I’m doing what I’m meant to do. I’m doing what I love to do. And I love to go and confront the enemy, to challenge them and have victory, and even this issue, even though I had a very unquieted night where the worst thing about being in prison is, as you know, Don, because you’ve been through it before, is that you don’t know what is going to happen. You don’t know how long you’re going to be there. If you’re going to be able to see your loved ones again, ever, in fact. You just don’t know what’s going to happen.

But I’m willing to do these things. And I do think that even despite this issue I think our enemy overplayed their hand, by doing this, and they just gave us huge amounts of publicity. There will be tens of thousands of people who will listen to this broadcast, listen to the subsequent broadcast.

By the way, I’m going to actually print the text and do a vocal text of the speech that I was going to give at the university. That will be up in the next day or two. And I think a million people will probably hear that speech, and maybe they wouldn’t have otherwise, except the fact that my speech was banned. So I think in a real sense, even though I faced the danger of losing my freedom, we’ve suffered already—or gained, I should say, gained a real victory in this thing. I’m free right now and millions of people, both in the Czech Republic and around the world realize that there are people in power trying to repress basic human rights; and that we have a message, and they’re reading our message on my site, on your site, that many, many hundreds of thousands of people, millions of people perhaps, would never have seen, or even known about except for this foray that I made the last three days into the Czech Republic that I made on behalf of the European and American people.
