Initially, the Germans were bombing seaports and airfields, which did 
indeed look like they were softening up England's defences in preparation 
for an invasion.  Later, however, they switched to terror bombing of 
cities, like London and Coventry, partly in response to the repeated 
bombing of Berlin by the British.

As I understand it, the main purpose of the bombing was to convince the 
British of pointlessness of continuing the war.  Hitler very much wanted 
to make peace with England before he attacked Russia.

I have a revisionist friend who lives in the Chicago area.  Just a couple 
of years ago he had to fight to keep his three kids out of Holocaust 
education classes in Jr. High.  At the time he lived in some Northern 
suburb, Winnetka, I think.  

So maybe I spoke inprecisely when I said "high school" rather than "Jr. 
High."

I just talked to my revisionist friend in Chicago and he gave me the 
scoop on the Illinois compulsory Holocaust education law.  The law, which 
was passed in February of 1990, mandates that every public school must 
include a "unit" on the holocaust in its curriculum. Apparently a unit 
can be anything from a week's worth of exterminationist propaganda to 
just a passing mention of the Holocaust in the history unit on WWII.

Somehow the note from the IHR's Greg Raven that I was supposed to post got 
lost in the shuffle.  Here it is, along with Greg's email address:

To say "they had a well-organized system" implies there ought to be some
documents of some kind establishing that organization. Organization is not
something that just happens all by itself, after all. The Germans were quite
good about documenting everything else (we know almost to the penny how much
they spent on dog kennels, for example), yet nothing about an extermination
program. To get the extermination scenario to fly, you must create all kinds
of other unrecorded activities (the cover-up operation). The simpler
explanation is that there was no extermination program.

This is wrong. You cannot make conjectures about how things might have been,
and then say "we do in fact have the weapon." What you have is a fictional
construct, erected to support a preconceived notion of how you wish things
had been. This explains why you are not disturbed by the paucity of
evidence...you have already made up your mind, making the details relatively
unimportant.

I've already cited Irving, and I'm sure other historians will more or 
less back him up.  I really don't feel like getting too deeply involved 
in  Operation Sealion, unless the consensus here indicated that it's 
really important.

Several alt.revisionism posters have agreed that the Luftwaffe's switching
from military to civilian targets in the Battle of Britain was a clear
indication that Operation Sealion had been scrapped.

You guys can't have it both ways.  On one hand you say the extermination 
program was well documented and on the other you say they covered their 
tracks well and spoke about the alleged genocide of the Jews et.al. in 
euphemisms.

What I was wrong about was stating categorically that the Germans never
had any serious plans to invade England.  We all agree Hitler's interest
in invading England waned while his interest in attacking Russia waxed. 
David Irving claims that he scrapped plans to invade England at the end of
July 1940, barely a month after the fall of France.  I don't know what
other historians say on the subject, which doesn't interest me that much. 

As for "other evidence of other aspects of German policy", you'll have to 
give me an example of what you're talking about.

The fact is that even if an executee were to be cremated after being 
gassed with hydrogen cyanide, there would still be traces of hydrogen 
cyanide in the ashes.  Now multiply this by a few hundred thousand and 
tell me how the Germans disposed of all these ashes.  And I reiterate 
what I said about the remains of the alleged gas chambers: Why no 
significant hydrogen cyanide residue, i.e. prussian blue?  The stuff DOES 
NOT wash or weather away.

Sure. It was April of 1990 when he first had to fight the educational
establishment to keep his eight grade daughter from being traumatized by
Holocaust horror stories.  The encounter was big enough news to rate a
full page spread in the Chicago Tribune.  The subsequent encounters didn't
make the papers particularly.  I can find out which issue of the Tribune
the story appeared in, if you want me to.  Might be in a regional section
though, in which case you might have trouble finding it in a library. In
any case, I can have Saf fax me the story and we can take it from there.

Just where did the Nazis announce their intentions to systematically 
murder millions of people?  Sure they talked about ejecting the Jews from 
Europe, but in my book that's not quite the same as murder.

As for "the manifests for each trainload of human cargo", they just 
proved that a lot of Jews were shipped East.  Period.

And the "tons of other documents" amazingly contain no reference whatever to 
homicidal gassings, or anything remotely genocidal.

Don't you know there was a war going on?  There were acute shortages of 
all kinds of things, so the Germans had to prioritize their allotment of 
scarce resources. The lachrymator (tear-producing irritant) in Zyklon-B 
was considered a frill.  And HCL itself is not completely odorless; 
experienced personnel could smell it. (It smells like almonds.)

Sorry I missed you.

We were there 12 to 2 on Saturday and 1200 to 315 on Sunday. You must 
have driven by on the 14th St. side - we were in front of the main 
entrance, on the 15th St. side.

And what makes you think the establishment press is going to cover this 
kind of thing?  They have a policy of suppressing such news.  There was a 
reporter from the Spotlight there on Saturday, tho.  I'll send you a copy 
of his story, assuming there is one, if you like.

You may recall that these three nineteen year olds each got two years in
the pen.  Meanwhile, in DC, on the day of the demonstration, a guy got
beat up for carrying a Palestinian Flag, by a bunch of JDOers from the
northeast.  It happened in broad daylight in front of several spectators. 
It was a feature story in the Washington Post of April 29th.  There was no
police action taken, despite the fact that the cops had all sorts of eye
witness accounts and leads to go on. 

And note, the drunken kids in Everett were only doing property damage, 
while the hoodlums in Washington were assaulting people.  There's a big 
difference, in my book.

side knocks a stack of flyers out of my hand and they go flying.  It's a 
windy day so they spread all over the plaza in front of the museum,
and for a while the museum security people are busy scrambling around
picking them up.  Then a little while later a couple of cops show up and
tell us to stop demonstrating - something about inciting a civil
disturbance. Talk about blaming the victim! 

Something similar happened in Manhattan the weekend before.  We're
demonstrating at a theatre that's showing Schindler's List.  A guy comes
from out of nowhere and starts hitting one of our people, a Palestinian,
and calling him all sorts of names.  Our guy holds on to his assailant to
try to restrain him.  All in plain sight of the cops. But now dig this. 
The guy that was hitting our man goes away, but comes back a little later
and tries to persuade the cop to arrest the guy he was hitting!  And he
won't give up.  He keeps talking to the cop.  Fortunately, in this case,
the cop finally gets shed of him, and our demonstration continues 
uninterrupted.

I've been through the museum three times.  In fact we've been talking 
about putting together an "unofficial" guidebook to tell museum goers 
what they're really seeing there.

While I try to keep up with what both sides have to say, I must admit that
there are revisionists who don't.  They won't go thru the museum or go to
see Schindler's list or read exterminationist literature.  There was one
guy with us on Sunday who even refused to use the mens room in the museum.

I'm glad Canada doesn't suppress revisionists like Germany does, but it's 
too bad they won't let David Irving in.

Occasionally they do their job.  In fact, Laurie Goodstein, who wrote the 
story, later invited me and Hans Schmidt, a WWII SS veteran, to do the 
museum with her.  That visit got written up in a story called "Holocaust 
of Mirrors" in the Oct. 1st Washington Post.  It was pretty much of a 
smear job, tho.

I hate to split hairs, but I belong to Bradley Smith's group, the 
Committee for Open Debate On the Holocaust (CODOH).  I have no 
formal affiliations with the IHR, tho I do know all the people 
there personally.

Most of the revisionists I associate with, e.g. Bradley Smith, David 
Cole, Andrew Allen, and Jack Wikoff, are not this close-minded.

But you are related to the Hungarians, right? You're both Finno-Ugric, 
I'm told.

The beating took place in Washington (DC = District of Columbia) not New 
York. The flag bearer was a loner named David Wilcox, who's not even 
Palestinian.

The kids were sentenced for committing a "hate crime." Repression of 
first amendment rights is alive and well in Massachusetts.  But I'm not 
condoning what they did - it gives the movement a bad image.

In 1945 the western allies were finding gas chambers EVERYWHERE, including
Dachau, Buchenwald, and Bergen-Belsen.  Later, in the 1960s, these claims
were quietly dropped.  Presumably the claims about the camps in Poland
will eventually have to be dropped too, but this time there will be a loud
thud. 

Didn't know Finland ever declared war on Germany.  Must have been by a 
Russian-installed puppet government, toward the end of the war?
