On this last day of the "Millennium" - according to some but not to others - the hurricane about the so-called Holocaust rages on, toppling lies and deceptions all over the globe.
There is the intifada in the Middle East where youngsters throw stones at invaders and are shot in the eyes and stomach by especially trained Israeli sharpshooters, some using dum-dum bullets. There is Mein Kampf, republished in the most politically backward, dismal, unlikely places, with copies sold out almost faster than they can be printed and shipped. There's monuments springing up in the East to honor the Waffen-SS. And there is Israel, electrically fencing itself into its very own ghetto - out of fear of the Palestinians and their stones!
There is increasing violence against Revisionists and a vicious judicial repression, and there are desperate Holocaust documentaries cranked out by the yard by the Keepers of the Orthodoxy that are so threadbare that they fall apart before they can even be aired.
Take heart. We aren't losing this one!
There are a Thousand Years around the corner of freedom from fear and from the lies of yesteryears - and Y2K nowhere in sight!

The Czech publisher of "Mein Kampf" has received a 3 year suspended sentence and a 60,000 dollar fine for publishing the still-hot title. Hitler, once systematically reviled in Czechoslovakia, is now a best-selling author there. Thousands of Czech youth proudly display Nazi emblems.
Poland saw reprints of "Mein Kampf" snapped up and sold out before the authorities could halt the distribution. Copies are for sale in the Russian language on book tables at subway entrances for $5 a copy, pristine condition, gold-embossed. In Hong Kong the title is for sale in Chinese in kiosks for the same price.
There is also a new translation of "Mein Kampf" in Bulgaria. It went on sale on 21 December. To the chagrin of the Jewish community there, the identity of the translator or the publisher remain a mystery.

Latvia has unveiled a monument to the soldiers of the Waffen-SS in Riga. A reported one thousand people, among them the Secretary of Defense, Girts Kristovskism, participated in the ceremony. During World War II, more than 14,600 Latvians served as volunteers in the Hitler Wehrmacht in its crusade against Jewish-led Bolshevism, as did young men from all over Europe.

The Jewish Telegraph Agency of December 18 reports worry that with a December 31 deadline approaching, lobbying efforts to persuade both Clinton and Barak - ". . . to support a permanent International Criminal Court that would prosecute genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity" - is doomed to failure.
And here I quote:
"In the words of one Jewish advocate, the creation of the international court is the "unfinished business" of the Nuremberg Trials where Nazi leaders were prosecuted after World War II." (...)
"Both worry that the proposed 18-judge panel would be vulnerable to politicization, becoming a kangaroo court where Americans or Israelis are dragged before it and tried on trumped-up charges."
As if the Nuremberg Trials were anything but Kangaroo Courts where the defeated Germans faced the trumped-up charges of their conquerors in what the former Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court called a "high grade lynching party!!
As if the chickens aren't coming home to roost!

Germany looks ever more silly in various print media as it still tries to demolish the First Amendment to the Constitution in the USA - since, so goes the claim, many Internet websites do brazenly what is in Germany forbidden to do: Spread the historical truth by denying the Six Million Fable.
The number of so-called "neo-Nazi sites" based outside Germany but directed at Germans has risen to nearly 800, according to the latest interior ministry survey, up from 330 such sites counted only last year. New brutal extradition laws that can nab politically incorrect webmasters across state borders - it is hoped even from within Canada, Australia and the USA - are supposed to be the answer. However, there is a small snag.
"In order to have extradition, you have to have dual criminality in both countries, and this doesn't meet that standard,'' said John Russell, a U.S. justice department spokesman.
We shall see. It looks like a sinister move.

Canada's CBC Television Network's Newsworld Channel will present "A North American Television Premiere On 'The Passionate Eye' on Sunday, January 21, 2001 of Mr. Death, the personal story of Fred Leuchter of the world-famous Leuchter Report that made "...the stones of Auschwitz speak" - and frightened the Holohoaxers out of their wits!
According to a CBC blurb by commissioning editor Catherine Olsen:
"Award-winning filmmaker Errol Morris has found one of his most provocative and disturbing eccentrics to date - a man who's life-long dream is to make executions more humane.
"Fascinated with executions since he was a boy, Fred A. Leuchter Junior sets out to design and repair gas chambers, electric chairs, and lethal injection systems. A portrait of vanity and the roots of evil."
What's that? No mention of the Holocaust?
No mention of Ernst Zundel? David Irving? Or that Leuchter testified in Toronto in 1988 right under the noses of the CBC Headquarters?

On a recent Muslim holiday, called "Jerusalem Day", hundreds of thousands of Shi'ites around the Middle East called for the destruction of the current Jewish state and for the liberation of the Muslim homeland in Palestine.
"We have to do everything we can militarily, economically and financially to support the Palestinian uprising and free this holy land," former Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani told a huge rally in Teheran. "Israel is the most serious military threat to the region." Rafsanjani is considered one of the reformers. What do hard-liners say to that?
In Beirut, more than 100,000 supporters of the Iranian-backed Hizbullah attended a parade in which movement leader Hassan Nasrallah likewise called for the destruction of Israel. Israel's brutal treatment of the Palestinians is evidently not without an echo in those parts of the world.

The Israeli-based paper Ha'aretz reported that two men, looking for soap made from human (Jewish) fat, went on a rampage in Bucharest, smashing windows and throwing objects in the Jewish History museum, even punching and attempting to strangle a guard.
They frantically asked the museum guide, 'Where is the soap made of human fat? Is there any Auschwitz soap?"
Needless to say, these two hooligans need a strong dose of Revisionism - since it is thanks to Revisionism that ". . . a case of soap made of human grease in the Nazi concentration camps," has finally been retired from the exhibit, after that rumor had been around for 60+ years!
Even as I write this, the Canadian Human Rights Commission has hauled Ernst Zundel and the Zundelsite before its Inquisition Tribunal for a document on "Jewish Soap" that exposes exactly that kind of a swindle!
"The soap was withdrawn from the exhibition in the summer amid doubts over its authenticity," a spokesman for the museum confessed sheepishly. Tell that to the Kanadian Kommissars!

The rather politically mild but pleasantly packaged "Barnes Review" has just published an "all Holocaust" issue (Jan/Feb 2001 Vol. 7, No.1).
"I haven't read the entire issue," wrote one Revisionist. "Nothing appears to be earth-shattering. Nonetheless it appears to be an interesting issue. It does include about the 4th reprint of Carto's article on "Why is the Holocaust Important Today?" as well as a rehash of David Hoggan's writings on the Holocaust.
"No major revisionist authors have contributed to the 76 pages of this mag. Otherwise, this appears to be a good issue for the 'uninitiated.'"
===== The Times of London (12/14/2000) reports an interesting tidbit:
The story of the secret life of a former "Nazi war criminal", who spied for America's Central Intelligence Agency after the Second World War in return for a fake Jewish identity, will be screened in Germany next month.
He is one shady character allright. First he was given an "identity' by the CIA, then he married a Jewish woman, next he moved to Israel. Somewhere along his journey, he even had himself be circumcised. Before he committed suicide and was buried in a Jewish cemetery, he unburdened himself and confessed. The tale shall be known as "Wagner's Confession."
His widow, Rosa, said: "He fooled me for more than two decades about his past. Imagine, me, a Jew, living with a Jew-killer. I would have killed him myself had I known."
Steven Spielberg to the rescue!
=====
And speaking of Spielberg: According to AP reports appearing in various papers, the filmmaker is to be knighted by Great Britain and admitted to the British Order of Chivalry, entitling him to put the letters KBE after his name.
His credits, as we all know to the point of nausea, include such inanities as "Jurassic Park" and the hate film "Schindler's List." His spokesman at DreamWorks SKG said Spielberg was honored and humbled.

An American tourist has had it with Israeli abuses and decided to splash red paint on Jerusalem's Wailing Wall. The attack was apparently carried out to show sympathy for the Palestinian intifada.
Described as a "gigantic prison uprising", the revolt has resulted in more than 300 Palestinians killed and more than 7,000 injured - many of them women, children and the elderly - by Israeli fire since the intifada started more than 3 months ago.

Finally, a semi-personal story:
Dr. Michael Shermer has been an all-too-transparent spook who slithered smilingly through many a revisionist conference, always claiming with the straightest face that, heaven's, no, he wasn't Jewish - and goodness gracious, noooo, he had no emotional investment whatsoever in the odd controversy called the Holocaust. He was just there to learn.
Founder and publisher of Skeptic Magazine and Adjunct Professor of History of Science at Occidental College (California), Shermer recently emerged, to no one's great surprise, as a major, heavily promoted opponent of Holocaust revisionism with a new and telling title, "Denying History: Who Says the Holocaust Never Happened and Why do They Say it?" (University of California Press, Los Angeles: 2000).
For this newest, he received a reported six-figure advance, along with an impressive publicity blitz.
I met Shermer first in 1995 when he came to the arsoned shell of the then recently torched Zundel-Haus, along with three of his compatriots, including Alex Grobman, co-author, a Hollywood film maker and none other than Jan van Pelt, infamous witness against David Irving.
As they launched themselves into an animated back-and-forth with Mr. Zundel - who was in magnificent form, by the way, who told them their was fire under their hoofs! - the Hollywoodian made his intentions clear: "Since I came here to insult you..." which caused a congenial round of laughter all around. I am told that excerpted and edited parts of this meeting is immortalized in the book. I haven't yet had time to read it.
Shermer is best known as the proponent of the "Convergence of Evidence" maxim, which goes something like this: "This witness says that he saw smoke. That witness says that he saw shoes. Another says that he saw piles of dentures. A fourth claims he saw ashes falling from the sky. Presto! I proved the Holocaust!"
For those who like a point-by-point refutation of that kind of "evidence", the following essay by Paul Grubach, a revisionist writer, will do well. You'll find it at http://vho.org/GB/c/PG/111200.html and www.vho.org/GB/c/PG/121000.html
Enjoy!
And do I have a magnificent treat of an essay for y'all tomorrow!
