We are archiving some amazing revisionist developments that happened this past week. In approximate order of descending importance:
* A ***major*** revisionist breakthrough has occurred in Germany. A controversial and much persecuted German historian, Ernst Nolte, has received the prestigious Konrad Adenauer Prize for literature. Upon acceptance of the prize, Nolte said: "We should leave behind the view that the opposite of National Socialist goals is always good and right." He added, speaking of Nazism, that it was the strongest of all counter forces to Bolshevism, a movement with wide Jewish support. Nolte further stated that Hitler may have had ". . . rational reasons for attacking the Jews." Such heresies in Germany?
What's even more important than the prize itself is this: The Director of the ever-so-politically correct, Allied-originated, government-funded, semi-official Institut für Zeitgeschichte in Munich, which for the last 50 years was virulently anti-Nazi in attitude, introduced Nolte at the acceptance speech. This is a landmark change! In the politically correct, status quo oriented circles of "court historians" (Irving's coinage) as well as in the mainstream papers of Germany, there is enormous furor as well as lots of confused cluck-cluck-clucking about the resulting debate in academic and political circles that has since broken out.
* Even the former Chancellor of Germany, Helmut Kohl, who went out of his way scraping and bowing to the Holocaust Lobby during his Administration, is now in trouble with his former masters, standing accused of "trivializing the Nazi persecution of the Jews" for some innocuous off-the-cuff comment. Reports Reuters: "Governing coalition members called the remark 'horrendous' while a leader of Germany's high-profile Jewish community said it was an 'inexcusable gaffe.'''
* A panel of British lawyers, headed by attorney Anthony Julius, who was part of the Lipstadt-Penguin defense team, is counseling the British government not to pass laws outlawing Holocaust denial. Holocaust denial, opines this group, is "fanciful, inconsequential stuff."
The report argues that outlawing Holocaust denial "could be seen as an illegitimate infringement on the right to freedom of expression." The report points to the problem of adequately defining "Holocaust denial" and observes that there is no evidence that legal prohibitions in countries that outlaw denial have had an impact on the problem. They specifically mention countries like Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Spain and Switzerland, as well as in Israel, who have these odious anti-Revisionist laws on the books.
"The prosecution of cases under Holocaust-denial legislation would bring its own risks," argues the panel in this report. "The most obvious of these is probably the danger that cases would provide valuable publicity for the Holocaust deniers."
The most important consideration is undoubtedly the wish to prevent the embarrassment suffered by the Holocaust promoters not only by seeing the Irving Trial explode in headlines all over the world, but by an increasingly loud and vocal group of Jewish academics like Norman Finkelstein, Peter Novick and others describing the Holocaust as a racket, as exploitation etc.
One more evidence that we are in the middle of an accelerating change and downhill trend for the Holocaust Lobby. It bears repeating one more time: The Great Holocaust Trials of Toronto marked the beginning of this trend!
* In an important US Supreme Court ruling, it was decided that the making of foreign policy is the prerogative of the federal government, not the states. This puts an end to the shenanigans of political eager beavers like California Congressman Lantos and others who tried to extort compliance for Holocaust claims by de-listing and de-certifying certain banks, insurance companies etc. in states like California and New York.
* In a letter to The Economist, Jean-Christian Lambelet of Lausanne, Switzerland, writes as follows, referring to a recent Volcker Report on the Swiss Holocaust Reparations scam:
". . . there has been no confiscation - wholesale or otherwise - of dormant accounts of Jews or anyone else by Swiss banks. Moreover, of the millions of non-active accounts investigated, few can be linked demonstrably to victims of the Holocaust." Which means: The Swiss caved in to a world-wide campaign of blackmail and extortion, forking over billions to people who had no valid claims.
* Efraim Zuroff, the Jerusalem-based director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, complains bitterly that Australia is blocking extradition of 86-year-old "suspected Nazi war criminal" Konrad Kalejs to Latvia. Zuroff claims that there exists "misplaced sympathy" for Kalejs because of his age.
At the same time, Israel has repeatedly refused to extradite Solomon Morell, who tortured and murdered over 1,000 Poles and Germans in Silesia after World War II. (See John Sack's book, An Eye for an Eye, for details)
* A French court was equally unwilling to accept criminal charges against a former German doctor of Auschwitz, Hans Muench, ruling that at age 89, he was too old for a trial on "inciting racial hatred." In a radio interview two years ago, Muench had spoken ill of the Gypsies.
Muench, who has suffered from dementia for years, according to relatives, and who was profiled in Germar Rudolf's Vierteljahreshefte zur Zeitgeschichte, and who has suffered from dementia for a long time, has nonetheless had his confused drivel exploited selectively by unscrupulous media hacks for years.
* Two Jewish World War II "resistance fighters" who once bragged about planning to poison 12,000 SS troopers and attempting to poison 2,000 of them held in a US prisoner of war camp, are once again being investigated, this time by Germany. Two members of the Knesset, Israel's Parliament, bragged about their deeds in a Toronto Star article of March 9, 1968 - and, hence, their criminal activity are nicely on record. Their original plan was to poison the drinking water of Nuremberg and other large cities, to kill at least 6-10 million Germans. The poison was actually made available with the help of Chaim Weizman and was sent by Palestinian Zionists to Germany but intercepted by the British.
* The Errol Morris' film about American gas chamber expert Fred Leuchter, "Mr. Death," has just been released on video. In California at least, the large chain video rental stores have it available, and some large chain book stores have it for sale at $24.95. Check it out!
* David Duke's organization, the National Organization For European American Rights, (N.O.F.E.A.R) has released a hard-hitting report on the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai Brith. It is titled "Behind the Mask of Respectability."
In a recent press release, N.O.F.E.A.R. states the new report ". . . exposes ADL links to organized crime, murder and death squads, a massive spy ring used to gather information on left and right wing groups, and the ADL's role in promoting thought crime laws and Internet censorship."
* Several Associated Press reports lament the observation that Joerg Haider of Austria ". . . has made a lot of headway in Austria precisely by questioning the 'intellectual tyranny' of the left."
A new term has been invented for this phenomenon - it is called "Haiderism".
* Professor Norman Finkelstein's book, "The Holocaust Industry", wherein he calls the Holocaust an extortion racket, is already reported to be # 5 on the Swiss bestseller list, even though it is not yet released. (Great Britain release date: July 20, 2000. Anticipated release date in America: August 2000)
* We gleefully report that the Holocaust Promoters have now begun to censor their own, spurred by fear of being exposed as liars by Holocaust Revisionists. To wit: An East Coast Jewish group that sponsored a very popular "Holocaust survivor", Deli Strummer, for 12 years, has now removed her from their speakers list - for telling hugely embarrassing tall tales. "This is an attempt at getting to the truth, at making sure we give no ammunition to the deniers of the Holocaust," explained Arthur Abramson, executive director of the Baltimore Jewish Council.
Strummer had claimed that in the 1940s, her name had been Adele Aufrichtig (meaning "honest" - does that not take the cake. . . ?) but there is no record that such a person ever lived. Strummer, busily strumming away, had claimed to have been in Auschwitz for 9 months. No record could be found. One famous Holocaust historian said she might at most have been there for a week - to which Strummer replied: Maybe it was three weeks? "I didn't think about timing," explained Strummer. "All I wanted was to tell the world, 'Please don't let this happen again.'"
* Leon Stabinsky, President of the California Association Child Survivors, took another Holocaust liar to task - this time Naomi Pfefferman, also known as Laura Grabowski.
Pfefferman conveniently "remembered" in various highly touted public appearances that she had been childhood friends with the fraudulent "Auschwitz survivor" Binjamin Wilkomirski of "Fragments" fame, a book likewise discredited as a literary fraud. The BBC broadcast an in-depth TV interview of these two con artists - but only after the book was already translated into six languages and had garnered an important literary prize.
Significantly, an Israeli born journalist-"Revisionist" researched, revised and reported that fraud! Stabinski denies that this unsavory pair is, in fact, Jewish.
* And not to forget, David Irving sent out a missive:
"I am currently working on a 32 pp fully illustrated Action Report on the trial, legal size, which will go to the printer next week; that occupies a lot of my time. People on my list will get it sent anyway, anybody else should send me $10 for it incl. shipping. Feel free to mention this fact in your next circular letter. It contains my entire trial diary, and many of the key documents illustrated. Next: the transcripts themselves."
Write to Irving at info@fpp.co.uk for particulars.
* There has been a major development about French Revisionist, Jean Plantin. A detailed ZGram on that case will follow.
