I have just returned from a most important one-week, whirlwind trip - through mountains and deserts, orchards and vineyards while visiting relatives, supporters and friends. I haven't yet had time to catch up on all the exciting news and take care of duties that have accumulated since.
But I can tell you this: with all the worldwide revisionist avalanches, I feel upbeat, buoyed, happy - and even a bit frivolous. While the tired, old millennium checked out with nary a whimper, the new one has arrived with a bang much like a mighty thunderclap that should do us Revisionists proud - and stun our enemies!
So let's take stock:
* Nizkor, the B'nai Brith financed "screamer" outfit on the Internet,
is moribund. Nizkor insiders send each other e-mail as insulting in language as they once used on Revisionists - with acrimonious content definitely not meant for general audience consumption.
* Ken McVay, the Nizkor shabbes goy, is hoping (threatening?) to sell (auction off?) the Nizkor domain name (site?) for a tidy sum. Why? And why now? Maybe to squeeze his handlers out of a little more cash or additional perks? What will he do if that scheme doesn't work? Rat out his former chums? That might be interesting. In this world, nothing is impossible.
* Jamie McCarthy is treading water on his obscure website somewhere in a cyber cemetery. We haven't heard of him in ages! Has anyone?
* Bernie Farber of the Canadian Jewish Congress had his tail feathers singed by publicly endorsing the torture of Palestinians - and was promptly pilloried for it on the Internet ever since he was outed on David Irving's website.
* Sol Litman, spokesman for the Canadian Simon Wiesenthal Center, is out someplace in the political wilderness, presumably licking his wounds - since he has been exposed as a liar on the Internet as well for falsely claiming way back when - in order to deflect from the headlines of the 1985 Zundel trial - that Mengele had come to Canada. It is rumored that his outfit is in trouble with the tax inspectors.
* The Canadian Jewish Congress will soon have to face some entertaining music on several legal and tax fronts.
* And while we are speaking of taxes, apparently several large Jewish organizations and Holocaust promotion groups in Canada are presently under audit as well - and may well lose their charitable status.
* Warren Kinsella - he of the trashy "Web of Hate" - is looking over his shoulder after his publisher ran into the Doug Christie kind of litigation.
* Michael Shermer of Skeptic Magazine, a late-comer to the Holocaust feeding trough, is half a year behind schedule with his own Holocaust book because his publisher had the living daylights scared out of him by Irving's libel suit against Professor Lipstadt and Gitta Serenyi.
* Errol Morris has shaken up the Wiesenthalers, the ADL and other Lobby headquarters with his iconoclastic film, in which he shows enough about Fred Leuchter's Auschwitz investigation to get people thinking and doubting. As we reported so gleefully before, the film has been widely reviewed and is now playing from New York to Los Angeles and will soon open in Canada as well. (Late word is February 11, 2000 - coast to coast!)
* Lion's Gate, the Errol Morris film distributor, has a special website dedicated to - hear this! - the "Controversy"! Blasted word! Just when Lipstadt, Hier and Litman crowed so loudly and repeatedly that there was no "controversy", that no one should lower himself to "debate" - what do we read? Participate in the CONTROVERSY? Click here to DEBATE? (. . . remember? The poor citizens of Germany were not allowed to take as little as a mouse click peak at the "debate" the Zundelsite had daringly announced, way back in 1996 . . . ! The government of Germany blocked 1,300 websites to censor the debate - as we aren't going to let them forget!)
How things have changed at a dizzying, truly astonishing pace! Whereas before, the word was "NOOOO Debate!!@#$%!" - these days, the song is altogether different. In America, ***Jewish scholars now lead the debate, using precisely every argument that Revisionists have so carefully coined***!
* In Europe, the edifice of lies is shaking by the distant tremors! German television network made interviews with David Irving, Ernst Zundel and Ingrid Rimland and showed several Revisionist websites as prominently as can be - the National Journal, CODOH, Germar Rudolf's site - then broadcast this segment dedicated to Revisionism clear across the globe by satellite! Not once but twice! Prime time - in Germany and Europe!
* And David Irving's trial! Already that trial has unleashed just reams and reams of worldwide coverage we could not have imagined in our fondest dreams even a few months ago! This hulk of a best-selling author lets loose with a barrage of quotable quotes that are bound to turn into proverbs - about the non-existence of gas chambers, about the non-existent Führer order, about the logistical impossibility of a German extermination program, and on and on and on. Salvo after salvo! Survivor "gassing" tales? Baloney! No plan! No budget! No policy! As Dr. Faurisson has stated so succinctly: No holes - no Holocaust!
* Next we have CNN, the world's most-watched, "all news" network, with its professional coverage of an assured Mr. Irving and a defiant Mr. Zundel - juxtaposed to a visibly nervous Abe Foxman dejectedly shuffling through his hate headquarters, a lamenting David Cessarini (Jewish Holocaust expert) and two shell-shocked damsels, Lipstadt and Serenyi! All this, beamed into more than a hundred countries and perhaps some 80 million homes, prime time, by CNN!
Oy vey! Oy vey! Gevalt Bryder Yidden! Gevalt!
There is a definite change in the way the mainstream media are dealing with Revisionists, and Jewish writers and academics are now ever so deftly approaching the Holocaust subject and World War II issues. All the media flaks of the Lobby are up in arms about a lot of articles and write-ups. One can hear the laments, the wailing and gnashing of teeth, as the prestigious Los Angeles Times weighs in with an amazingly fair and balanced piece on Revisionists - on first page! - and the Atlantic Monthly devotes some 19 pages, I have been told, to what is going on. From Berenbaum and Reich, two thin-skinned, vain former directors of the Washington Holocaust Horror Museum to the ADL's Foxman and other Jewish Truth Deniers, our enemies are out there, in panic, en force, like some fire brigade that cannot find a hydrant to which to connect their emergency hoses!
Things look suddenly pretty bleak for the Israel Firsters and Holocaust Promoters! Things are just not the way they used to be! It seems to many that the Holocaust Lobby is running very scared and is finally dropping its mask.
I go a step beyond. I say that real fear stalks the corridors of the Holocaust Lobbyists as other lawsuits by uppity goys are being prepared or winding their way through the courts in various lands. Gone is the hushed, eyes-downcast, hands-off reverence about the so-called Holocaust! The competitive British press has a field day with the loaded Holocaust topic. The bum-and-titty press, as tabloids are called in England, are in a virtual feeding frenzy. This must be the ultimate nightmare come true for the Learned Elders of the Holocaust Lobby!
The barbarians are clearly at the ramparts - and are battering down the gates with convincing Holocaust arguments! The Wiesenthalers seem to have utterly lost their weasely touch, and the ADL smears are no longer effective. Is it the end of the Century of Lies? It's been an exhilarating three weeks since we realized there was no Y2K - more yet, there was no global bogeyman! Maybe we Revisionists were right when we said we were going to make sure that this was going to be our Millennium - that we were not going to permit the Hoax of the 20th century to poison and distort the 21st!
What does this sudden Holocaust Revisionism on every lip now mean? Who knows? The spin doctors, news distorters and media hoaxers seem as dumbfounded as the rest of us who were fighting to hard for historical truth for so long. Is this a Berlin Wall phenomenon? Has the pressure against the Truth Deniers built up in such a focused, concentrated way by diligent Revisionists' work over decades that our enemies' carefully built edifice of lies now crumbles right before our eyes? Have anti-Holocaust cyber activists finally punched enough holes in the dike so that there are now not enough fingers to plug all the holes - and the torrents of truth are flooding the parched, thirsty plains of our globe?
This much is now certain: the Holocaust story, as the last century knew it and largely believed it, is coming apart at the seams in front of our very eyes. Clearly, our enemies have lost their former, almost near total, viselike grip. The genie is out of the bottle. The truth is now out there - big time!
If Irving makes good on his threat and gives his detractors a thorough three-months' worth of legal and media thrashing - then, clearly, anything can happen! And if this trial moves to Auschwitz - where the unctuous Jan Van Pelt might well be venting forth about the "holiest of holies" - then heaven help the Lobby! The media will be beside itself! This will be better than Leuchter! Can we expect an Errol Morris Leuchter Number Two?
The Irving case will do for Europe and America what the Zundel trials did for the Great White North. The Irving case will not be over, however, even after it is over in London - regardless of the outcome of the trial - for the German vassal government has just put its hoof in its mouth and foolishly announced that they want Irving extradited to Munich to stand trial in Germany as well! They want this world-famous writer extradited - because ***ten years ago*** he broke Germany's Holocaust Protection Law!
Imagine, Citizen! Another Irving trial - this time in Germany! Irving, drawing on his London courtroom experience, defending himself, bringing his British witnesses to Munich! Irving, who speaks a most elegant German! The German and the world media will go bananas. The Jewish Lobby will go ballistic. Where will it all end? Why, it has barely begun!
The French want Irving also for a politically incorrect interview he gave to a French TV crew in his London flat - with comments made that were against the French Gayssot Anti-Revisionist Law! Need we point out that Irving is fluent in French? Is there a Paris Irving trial in the offing?
To keep the momentum going, the Swiss will want to put Jürgen Graf on trial for his new book, "Riese auf tönernen Füßen" (Giant with Clay Feet) recently published in England. Graf already has one headline-making trial behind him - and is the first Swiss assigned to march himself to jail for not believing in the Auschwitz story. That ought to be good for headlines in Spanish, Italian, Serbo-Croatian, Polish and Russian at least! Graf is fluent in 11 languages - you draw your own conclusions!
Should things get dull, there is the media-genic Germar Rudolf, who still - according to a lot of rumors - appears elusively and ghost-like on the Internet. He could let himself get caught in England, go back to Germany in handcuffs - a smashing, youthful hero to the German college crowd - in all of his six-foot-five Germanic glory, sophistication, eloquence and youth. Here is a formidable expert in chemistry, with solid credentials, internationally famous and universally respected by men and women with brains instead of mush. Poof! goes the skinhead image - so useful in the days of yore!
The Institute for Historical Review is being revived by millions obtained in court settlements. The IHR has a huge stock of Revisionist books, tracts, videos and booklets and an enormous mailing list of worldwide sponsors and contacts in the media, government and the intelligence community.
Bradley Smith of CODOH is swamping college campuses in America with provocative ads in hundreds of student papers as well as with a new publication, appropriately titled The Revisionist, sent free of charge by the hundreds of thousands to students everywhere. He is waving a scented $250,000 reward for getting David Cole's video broadcast prime time on at least one major network.
If all else fails, Fred Leuchter might come out of retirement, now that he is a star of stage and screen, and begin suing his tormentors left, right, front and center - like Irving is doing in England. Don't count that fellow out - what has he got to lose?
And Mr. Zundel? He is alive and well, rumored to be vacationing and plotting strategy at some hacienda down in South America while visiting with Joseph Mengele precisely where Ingrid Rimland found him years ago - as one of Germany's most useful Lobby schlepps, a Mr. Heiko Klein, may still remember!
So if one looks at all of this global Revisionist juggernaut a certain way - it's just about irrelevant if David Irving wins or loses. The avalanche has been kicked loose. Revisionism on a roll!
The bottom line is this: Revisionists finally have their debate! Worldwide! And undeniable! They now have the initiative - and they are driving their detractors before them as though they were Manstein or Guderian driving the Reds through the steppes of Russia way back in 1941 where much of this began.

Thought for the Day:
"Mr. Death," Morris' most gripping film since "The Thin Blue Line," is the year's scariest movie.
