The Revisionist
claim:
The Holocaust is useful postwar
propaganda that started as a systematic, insidious campaign during
World War II as one of the tactics employed by moneyed interests to
rally the troops and engage the world, specifically America, in what
turned out to be, essentially, a fratricidal war.
The principle behind this
propaganda was: "Let's get an enemy to kill an enemy."
How was this done? In old-fashioned, time-tested ways.
Sophisticated war-time propaganda about an enemy's alleged
"atrocities" is nothing new. It is an effective psychological weapon,
routinely employed to keep the home-grown troops fired up so that
they believe that they are fighting for a righteous, patriotic cause.
The enemy is demonized with systematic atrocity stories. The media
repeats over and over and over again how cruel and demonic he is.
This tactic was used by the Allies - extensively. Here is one piece
of evidence:
On February 29, 1944 the British Ministry of Information sent the
following note to the higher British clergy and to the BBC:
Sir,
I am directed by the Ministry to send you the following circular
letter:
It is often the duty of the good citizens and of the pious
Christians to turn a blind eye on the peculiarities of those
associated with us.
But the time comes when such peculiarities, while still denied in
public, must be taken into account when action by us is called
for.
We know the methods of rule employed by the Bolshevik dictator in
Russia itself from, for example, the writing and speeches of the
Prime Minister himself during the last twenty years. We know how
the Red Army behaved in Poland in 1920 and in Finland, Estonia,
Latvia, Galicia, and Bessarabia only recently.
We must, therefore, take into account how the Red Army will
certainly behave when it overruns Central Europe. Unless
precautions are taken, the obviously inevitable horrors which will
result will throw an undue strain on public opinion in this
country.
We cannot reform the Bolsheviks but we can do our best to save
them - and ourselves - from the consequences of their acts. The
disclosures of the past quarter of the past quarter of a century
will render mere denials unconvincing. The only alternative to
denial is to distract public attention from the whole subject.
Experience has shown that the best distraction is atrocity
propaganda directed against the enemy. Unfortunately the public is
no longer so susceptible as in the days of "Corpse Factory." the
Mutilated Belgian Babies," and the "Crucified Canadians."
Your cooperation is therefore earnestly sought to distract public
attention from the doings of the Red Army by your wholehearted
support of various charges against the Germans and Japanese which
have been and will be put into circulation by the Ministry.
Your expression of belief in such may convince others.
I am, sir, Your obedient servant
(signed)
H. Hewet, Assistant Secretary
There was even a postscript, as follows:
The Ministry can enter into no correspondence of
any kind with regard to the communication which should only be
disclosed to responsible persons. (Rozek, Edward J., Allied
Wartime Diplomacy: A Pattern in Poland, John Wiley and Sons, NY.
page 209-210)
This is quite an astounding document. This letter is ample
evidence that during World War II, the Allies used atrocity
propaganda against Hitler Germany to distract their own people from
the atrocities being committed primarily but not exclusively by the
Red Army - their "comrades"! - in the invasion of Europe as Hitler's
war drew to an end.
Note, though, that there was nothing in this letter that talked of
gassing people.
Why not? Because foolish atrocity propaganda is something else again.
The gas chamber claim was floated briefly as a propaganda test kite
but was quickly abandoned as too "unbelievable." If atrocity fiction
is found to be so gross, outlandish and implausible that thinking,
feeling people simply cannot swallow it, it is not in an army
leader's interest to peddle such a "crime."
This was the case originally with the "gas chamber" claim.
In point of fact, the British Ministry of Information at first
requested British clergy to help spread the "gas chamber" story which
was planned to be put in circulation by the Ministry. (Rozek, Edward
J., Allied Wartime Diplomacy, pp 108-110. John Wiley and Sons, New
York ) However, from the start, it was judged to be too problematic
and bizarre and, therefore, it was quickly withdrawn as a potential
strategic embarrassment.
Some of the "lesser" so-called "crimes" that people were willing to
swallow did survive and thrive for a while, both during World War I
and World War II - some of them for longer periods than others.
For example, many of the older generation, both in Europe and
America, still vividly remember the macabre World War I Allied
propaganda claims of the German ". . . cadavers-into-soap factories,"
the ". . . chopped-off hands of Belgian babies," the ". . . crucified
Canadian soldier" stories - all of which proved to be lies, and for
some of which post WWI Allied statesmen even apologized to the
Germans.
Some even remember the incredible, hysterical claim made by the
then-Governor of New York State, even in 1917-18, (!) that the
Germans had been ". . . exterminating millions of Jews."
Even more telling was the claim about the ". . . six million"!
(Glynn, Martin, The Crucifixion of the Jews Must Stop The American
Hebrew, October 31, 1920.)
So you see - the "six million" story is old. Very old.
It had been peddled before. In a recent book entitled "Keystone of
the New World Order: The Holocaust Dogma of Judaism," the author, Ben
Weintraub makes the point that the number has, in fact, mythical
significance because it is based on cabalistic sources. (Weintraub,
Ben, The Holocaust Dogma: Keystone of the New World Order, Cosmos
Publishers, 1994)
Unfortunately, it took a gullible, systematically miseducated
populace such as we have today, coupled with relentless brainwashing
by a corruptible lap dog media, to peddle the lie for decades the way
it has been peddled. In World War I, there was no electronic media.
After WWII, this handy tale was dusted off and heaved once more
against the German people.
The massive psychological onslaught really only started, however,
with the fictitious television series, "Holocaust," shown worldwide
to an estimated 100 million people. Next there was "Schindler's
List." There were thousands of other production not nearly as vicious
in impact, but cumulatively destructive.
Let us be very clear on one point: There would have been no
hesitation to use the story of the "gassings" even during the war -
had it been plausible. However, even during the war, the leadership
of the Allied Nations - such as Churchill and Roosevelt as well as
those of the Catholic hierarchy, including the then-Pope Pius XI -
knew from their various intelligence agencies, spies on the ground,
inmates with radio transmitters inside various camps (including
inmate soldiers, inmate priests, even those who took confessions of
local military, police and guard personnel) that no organized mass
exterminations by gassing or any other means were going on inside
these camps.
How did they know?
The Allied leaders had detailed aerial photos,
none of which corroborated the hysterical claims then made by
Zionist agitators like Rabbi Stephen Wise and others around the
world. It simply wasn't true. There were no gassings of people
going on - only of lice! The story was a cheese with many, many
holes. And it was judged as problematic.
As a consequence, the Allied leadership specifically removed any
reference to "gas chambers" in their wartime atrocity propaganda,
even in their diplomatic dispatches, because there was no proof.
(Allied Diplomacy in Wartime, Samisdat Resource Book, pp 108-110)
In August of 1943, the Allies decided officially not to make this
specific allegation of "gas chambers" against the Nazis in a
published declaration on the grounds of "insufficient evidence to
justify the statement regarding execution in gas chambers." ( Foreign
Relations of the United States Diplomatic Papers, 1943. Samisdat
Resource Book)
The Allies and the Pope thus did not need to deny
what did not take place - except in the feverish brains of the
Zionists who were jockeying through unique "victimhood" for the
creation of the State of Israel and postwar political advantage
(including massive reparations payments from Germany) which needed
the accusation of genocide against the Jews.
And, as we will explain in more detail, the trials at Nuremberg
were based on those accusations. The Zionists needed
a conviction, in order to leverage the guilt money out of a craven
government created by the Allies.

Introduction
The Revisionist
claim:
PART I - The Holocaust is
useful postwar propaganda that started as a systematic, insidious
campaign during World War II as one of the tactics employed by
moneyed interests to rally the troops and engage the world,
specifically America, in what turned out to be, essentially, a
fratricidal war.
PART II - There is no proof
that the Holocaust, as depicted by the Holocaust Promotion Lobby and
the highly politicized Hollywood industry, actually occurred.
PART III - The numbers of "Holocaust"
victims are irresponsibly exaggerated.
PART IV - Official state policy
towards the Jews in the Third Reich was emigration, not
extermination.
PART V - Not a single document
has been found with Hitler's signature ordering the extermination of
the Jews.
PART VI - Zyklon B was a
fumigant. It wasn't a practical agent for mass murder.
PART VII - Zyklon B was highly toxic.
This being so, it would have been foolish and counterproductive to
endanger Third Reich personnel engaged in allegedly pulling bodies
from the execution chambers shortly after they were "gassed."
PART VIII - American execution
expert, Fred Leuchter, delivered a scientific break-through in
proving that the so-called gas chambers at Auschwitz could not have
been used for their alleged purpose."
