XREF: INDEX IRVING

   A message recently arrived which questioned me as to whether or not
   my archives contained any information about possible links between
   neo-Nazi organizations and "New Age" philosophy. Frankly, although I
   know very little about "New Age" thinking, everything I have run
   across has been more or less positive - certainly not the sort of
   material I would even remotely connect with Nazi political philosophy
   (if indeed that is the correct description).

   I responded with a request for more specific information, which led
   to the following material regarding NEXUS, an Australian magazine
   which is also published and distributed in the United States. Whether
   or not NEXUS is representative of "New Age" views I cannot say, but
   the material related to Hitler apologist David Irving was
   disturbingly familiar, echoing as it did the Willis Carto - IHR
   Holocaust denial theme.

   I would like to obtain more information about NEXUS, and its
   editorial philosophy.

   Here is the Irving material - comments in [brackets] are some of
   those which accompanied the data below. Comments in {curly brackets} 
   are mine....

          Reviews, p. 60: "Churchill's War", David Irving:

          "Published by: Veritas Publishing Company, Cranbrook,

	  International News Service, GPO Box 3126FF, Melbourne

          "What an amazing book!  What an amazing author!  So
	  many university academics go and read twelve or so
	  books on a subject and then write book number thirteen,
	  but not David Irving.

          Ranked as Britain's top historian, David irving is the
	  only person to have gone through the personal diaries
	  of key generals and power figures of World War II.

   {One can only wonder where NEXUS discovered Irving's ranking as
   "Britain's top historian," given his utter rejection by his British
   peers, not to mention leading scholastic historians world-wide.}
   
          His thoroughness and attention to detail has revealed
	  many aspects of WWII that are obvioulsy not popular -
	  _Churchill's_ _War_ is testimony to that.

          Churchill is portrayed by our history books as a noble,
	  brave and determined individual caring for the British
	  empire.  Unfortunately his personal diaries, and the
	  personal diaries of people in power he corresponded
	  with, do not mirror this image.

          We thoroughly recommend any serious researcher of WWII
	  history to obtain and read all of David Irving's
	  excellent books."


"Hitler's War
by David Irving
Published by Focal Point, UK, 1991

RRP: $60.00, 857 pages, hard cover
Available: Veritas Publishing Co Pty Ltd,

(add $5.00 postage when ordering)."

[They do include the details with almost all their book reviews.
Seems they review books in exchange for advertising. Yes, there
is a related ad in the mag]

          "In some countries this book is classed as a textbook
	  and is compulsory reading, while other countries are
	  trying to ban it.

   {I'd like to know which countries use "Hitler's War" as compulsory
   reading!}

          The book gives a very different picture of Hitler and
	  WWII, from [sic] that of the Hollywood movies.  It does
	  not apologise for Hitler or his actions; it merely
	  reports ont he facts, and in many cases the author digs
	  up facts which are not popular with the establishment.

   {They are not popular because Irving conveniently and dishonestly
   ignores any such facts which do not support his thesis, as anyone
   reading Dawidowicz or Ja"ckel will immediately attest.}

          It is said that the winners write the history books,
	  and when one tries to research WWII and its key
	  players, there is little to choose from in terms of
	  unbiased research or writings - except for David
	  Irving.  His research is meticulous and infallible.

   {After Dawidowicz finished her work regarding Irving's blatent
   manipulation of the Himmler memo, it is impossible to understand how
   anyone could consider Irving's work "unbiased!"}

	  The rare documents, manu- scripts and photographs he
	  has unearthed through his painstaking endeavours are
	  accessible to any other researcher.

          There you have it.  If you ever wanted an unbiased
	  history of World War II, _Hitler's War_ is a must-read
	  book."

REVIEWS-Videos
"The Search for Truth in History
with David Irving
Duration: 90 mins (PAL VHS)
RRP: $35.00 (audio tape $10.00)

Phone: (098) 268 055. Fax: (098) 268 051"

          "This is the video they tried to ban.  When you see it,
	  you'll see why.  I think it is outrageous that a man is
	  banned from entering a country because of his views of
	  history.  It is even more outrageous when that
	  particular man is one of the western world's most
	  acclaimed and respected researchers.

   {There it is again - asserting Irving's status as something he most
   certainly is not - acclaimed and respected. Do we begin to wonder
   about a drift towards the IHR here?}

          People might disagree with what he says, and they are
	  entitled to do so, but one thing stands out
	  irrefutably: his research is impeccable, and none dare
	  challenge him on it.  instead, we get a lot of
	  emotional rhethoric from critics who try to prevent
	  others from gleaning another point of view.

          As you now, unless you were on the Moon at the time,
	  David Irving was banned from entering Australia earlier
	  this year as a result of pressure from certain minority
	  groups.

   {"Certain minority groups" indeed.}

          The tour organisers then decided to arrange video
	  showings of one of Mr Irving's talks.  These, too, came
	  under intimidation, and most were cancelled due to lack
	  of available venues.

          This particular video lecture by David irving deals
	  with that most unsavoury chapter of WWII, "the
	  Holocaust".

          What can one say?  - the information in this video is
	  worth considering.  I know many people like me who
	  became more suspicious as a result of the attempts to
	  gag David Irving.

          It is high time to publicly debate some of the points
	  raised in this video."

[Oh, and a small ad:]

          "David Irving - Why was he banned?  Freedon of Speech
	  vs.  Censorship.  Holocaust or Holohoax.  The case of
	  the Historical Revisionists find out the truth.  Send

   There you have it, folks. I have rather a lot more from NEXUS, but
   most isn't relevent, except to demonstrate that the magazine
   represents or publishes some familiar ideas - more on these later.
   (First, I'd like to formulate an article for the net, based on what
   you see above, which requests more information regarding NEXUS, and
   which provides counterpoint to the Irving "reviews." Yes, we have all
   that Irving stuff... that's not what I mean - I mean how to express
   those comments as succinctly as possible, while including references
   to the archives. Have at it :-)

   PS - Did you notice that our friend Boris is back?

"Statement of Purpose: Nexus recognises that humanity is undergoing

'hard to get' information, so as to assist people through these

political organisation."

Editorial, Nexus 2/15 (Aug/Sept 1993):
"(...) I mentioned in my last editorial that I was going to visit America
to respond to the growing demand for NEXUS 'up top'. Well, the visit was
successful, and we are now sharing warehouse space with that renegade
researcher, David Hatcher Childress, in a little country town in the
American Midwest. As a result of that visit, we are now printing NEXUS
in the USA as well as Australia."

They usually seem to print all sorts of stuff about "Free energy machines"
(The Perpetuum Mobile); new-age-cures for AIDS or cancer, crop circles,
UFOs, the New World Order... and so on.

(I'll type out some interesting passages, OK?)

Reviews, p. 60: "Churchill's War", David Irving:

"Published by: Veritas Publishing Company, Cranbrook,

Price: $40.00 postpaid, from New Dawn International
News Service, GPO Box 3126FF, Melbourne 3001"

"What an amazing book! What an amazing author! So many university

("top historian"?! They must be very selectively targetting gullible
fools; the "Right-wing lunatic fringe"....)


Other articles in this number (2/14):

Articles about: The USA creating bloodthirsty regimes in
	the worls, citing Liberia and Kuwait;
"Pasteur fabricated his vaccination results"; "Mind Control on
psychiatric patients", and:

"The council on foreign relations
The council on foreign relations was incorporated on 29 July
1921, in New York, (...). Many of the key players figure
prominently in other secret, "internationalist" organisations
such as the Bilderbergers, and the more recent Trilateral
Commission, established as a CFR-offshoot by David Rockefeller
nd Zbigniew Brzezinski in 1972. (...) The CFR's goal, according
to conservative commentators in particular, is to establish a
"One World Order" or a "New World Government". A prime objective
of the NWO is believed to be the redistributiomn of the world's
wealth among all nations - and concomitant removal of many basic
freedoms. Below is a list of people placed in major media
organisations, who are also mmbers of the Council on Foreign
Relations or Trilateral Commission.
(Source: F.R.E.E., PO Box 33339, Kerrville, Texas 78029 USA.)"

The list is a list of names, WASP and Jewish, in various magazines
and other media. Almost half the names sound vaguely jewish.
(Jewish names are recognizable to a german speaker. I think it
was Mary Therese who ordered that every citizen of Austria must
have a last name, and that the government officials could assign
names at will. Many of those officials gave jews very obviously
made-up names, often very cruel ones. That true? I heard it from
my father, I think.)

Also on the "Global News" thing: "Does HIV cause AIDS", "Gays
not gay over statistics" (Which is very homophobic), and an
article about Waco.

Longer articles are about crop circles, dinosaurs, about how major
US companies traded with the Nazis in WWII, fraud in the drug
industry, vaccinations, warer, New World Order, "alternative
technologies" and other brain-damaged New-Age crap.

hope this helps.  it's interesting, but a bit depressing.
