September 1999
Cincinnati, Ohio. Sept. 26. Under sheltering blue skies in
the midst of a
magnificent Ohio autumn, English historian David Irving's Real
History, USA
conference convened for three days in what was an unqualified
success.
Approximately 125 people came to hear a roster of top calibre
revisionist
speakers in the comfortable ambiance of a five star venue.
Irving opened and chaired the conference and detailed his forthcoming
year
2000 libel suit against "Holocaust"-studies Professor
Deborah Lipstadt, and
through her, against the entire, crumbling edifice of entrenched
senility
that is the multi-billion dollar Shoahbusiness itself.
Mr. Irving revealed that Lipstadt has thus far received upwards
of $5
million in defense funds and has hired numerous "expert"
and professional
trial witnesses, such as Christopher Browning, to defend against
the
English historian's contention that Lipstadt maliciously damaged
his good
name and reputation.
During the legal process known as discovery, nine linear feet
of Irving's
writings have been examined by Lipstadt's team with a fine-tooth
comb. Out
of this massive collection of his papers and utterances--some
45 million
words--Lipstadt's defense team has been able to produce only 13
of Irving's
words that might be construed as anti-Jewish (or "anti-semitic"
as the word
police prefer).
The ratio is so scant that it actually proves the opposite.
In comparison
with the table talk and private correspondence running the gamut
of western
leaders from Anthony Eden to Richard Nixon, both of whom littered
their
conversations and letters with anti-Jewish invective, Irving's
thirteen
words out of 45 million testify that he is anything but an anti-Jewish
bigot.
Irving screened a brief newsreel in German, which was shown
in German movie
theatres during the Allied occupation, circa 1948. The subject
was the
Allied show trial of Nazis charged with crimes at Auschwitz. In
the
newsreel, the Allied reporter states that "300,000"
people were killed at
Auschwitz (this figure comprises both Jewish and Gentile deaths)
and makes
no mention of gas chambers.
This celluloid snippet should make Lipstadt and Co. sweat.
(Recall that
like Jean-Marie LePen, both Eisenhower and Churchill regarded
the alleged
homicidal gas chambers to be a "mere detail" of history,
since both men
make no mention whatever of gassings in their comprehensive, multi-volume
war memoirs).
David Irving is preparing the new millennium's first act of
table-turning,
whereby the "Holocaust" and the servile professor class
that slavishly
upholds the aggregate mendacities grouped under that Newspeak
moniker, will
itself be on trial.
Bradley Smith, the indefatigable poet laureate of libertarian
revisionism,
gave the keynote Friday evening speech and it was not so much
what Bradley
said that was remarkable (a humorous digression on memory, including
lapses
in his own).
Rather, it was the fact that this 69 year old stalwart iconoclast
is
soldiering on as he has during more than 20 years of revisionist
activism,
most recently on college campuses, where student editors expecting
to
confront a goose-stepping neo-something or other, meet instead
a beatnik
Santa Claus who is a cross between Mark Twain and Charles Bukowski.
Bradley is that sign of contradiction which is so destabilizing
to
preconceptions from any corner and by that token, he is a major
revisionist
asset.
Smith was followed by researcher Peter der Margaritis, who
detailed the
movements of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel on D-Day. June 6 was Rommel's
wife's birthday and he was in Germany when the Allies struck at
Normandy.
Margaritis asserts that had Rommel been at his command post in
France on
D-Day, the 12th SS Panzer Division would not have been wasted
by being held
back as it was, but would have devastated Allied landing forces
at Omaha
and Utah beach.
Saturday morning saw Joseph Bellinger work his way through
an exhaustive
investigation of the death of RF-SS Heinrich Himmler. Bellinger
offered
evidence that Himmler did not commit suicide by means of a concealed
cyanide pill (the official story), but was actually beaten to
death by his
American interrogators.
Brian Renk, the son of a German soldier who, at age 15, fought
in the
Battle of Berlin, did a yeoman job of documenting the errors and
pretensions of none other than Zündel and Irving nemesis
Christopher
Browning (who allegedly received $35,000 for attempting to put
Ernst Zündel
behind bars at his 1988 show trial).
Veteran revisionist Russ Granata detailed the tireless investigations
which
he and Renaissance man Carlo Mattogno have conducted in the secret
archive
of the former Soviet Union.
Canadian journalist and WWII hero Doug Collins (he escaped
ten times from
German POW camps), provided the latest news on his ongoing legal
battle
with the "human rights" lobby in his native land, which
is pursuing his
conviction for an article he wrote daring to characterize Spielberg's
"Schindler's List" as "Swindler's List."
Three speakers in particular pushed the Irving conference beyond
superlatives and into the stratosphere of landmark revisionist
significance. John Sack, the Jewish journalist (CBS News, Esquire,
Vanity
Fair, GQ etc.) delivered the address the US Holocaust Museum refused
to
allow (after initially inviting him to give it).
Sack is a lively speaker, fast on his feet and punctuating
his lecture with
jokes, human interest stories and a consummate humanity which
radiates from
this avant-garde writer and Hollywood deal-maker.
His story of the holocaust against the Germans, including civilians,
that
took place after the war, mostly at the hands of Jewish Poles
in the employ
of the Communist police apparatus, has been recounted in his book,
"An Eye
for an Eye."
Sack detailed the repression against him and his writing in
an eloquent
oration that consists of a level of communication whereby even
newcomers to
these issues are convinced that something is very rotten indeed
in our mass
media. How can this Jewish insider, who knows Hollywood and Rockefeller
Center like the back of his hand, be refuted?
A lively question and answer session found Sack challenged
on a number of
points. Throughout this collective revisionist grilling, Sack
responded
with unfailing humor and good will. Mr. Sack remained for the
whole of the
conference, taking notes and making recordings for a forthcoming
magazine
article on revisionism, which he is writing for Esquire.
Charles Provan, the obscure Pennsylvania printer, WWII researcher
and
Christian theologian ("The Bible and Birth Control"),
detailed accounts of
several heretofore hidden Allied war crimes against Axis soldiers,
which he
has discovered in the National Archives.
Provan focused on the machine-gunning of the unarmed German
guards who
surrendered Dachau to two units of the American 42nd and 45th
divisions.
Provan's research unearthed numerous statements of boldface hypocrisy
from
American officers who excused the Allied atrocities on the grounds
that the
soldiers were fatigued, stressed and "only following orders,"
thereby
demonstrating that Nuremberg was exactly what Göring, in
his finest hour,
had said it was, "victor's justice."
Even Irving marveled at Provan's command of his subject matter
as he spoke
for more than an hour directly from memory, reeling off a "chunk"
of names,
dates and incidents, mostly without notes.
The Mount Olympus of the conference, who stood almost as tall
as that
fabled peak, and who caused John Sack's pen to scurry across his
notebook
perhaps more than any other speaker, was the incomparable Germar
Rudolf.
The boyish-looking 34 year old former researcher for the renowned
Max
Planck Institute, and doctoral candidate in chemistry, is now
living in
exile after having fled Germany in the wake of a 14 month prison
term
imposed on him due to his Auschwitz studies.
He also has lost his wife and young children, his PhD. and
his position at
Max Planck because of his revisionist work. Mr. Rudolf is a world-class
scientist, who like world class historian Irving, brings restless
searching
and scholarly industry to bear on the central humbug of the age.
Rudolf is a product of Germany's Catholic gentry. He speaks
excellent
English. There is nothing of the extremist or the fanatic about
him. He had
a good upbringing and a fine education. He is balanced and self-effacing
and he does not find Hitler or Nazism appealing.
He is a scientist, an authority on solid state chemistry (such
as the
chemical residues on stone, which is the theatre of revisionist
investigation in Auschwitz/Birkenau), who has, of necessity, become
a
historiographer.
He is also the first major revisionist figure since Ditlieb
Felderer to
share my concerns about the psychology and epistemology of the
Newspeak
technology of mind control embedded in the imposition of the neologism
"Holocaust," as applied exclusively to Jewish contretemps
in WWII.
Rudolf refers unabashedly to the Allied terror bombings of
German cities
and the post-war ethnic cleansing of German civilians from historic
German
territories in Poland, as "the holocausts against the Germans."
And he does not unconsciously and routinely use the "Holocaust"
term as a
description of Jewish allegations, without qualifying it as the
"so-called
'Holocaust" or as the, "Holocaust' with a capital H,"
precisely the
distinctions I also employ.
One great thing about a conference like this one is that the
audience is
often as interesting as the speakers. I met many old friends and
shining
lights in the revisionist firmament, including former US State
Department
official Welby P. Campbell and such German holocaust survivors
as
ex-soldier Hans Schmidt. I made many new friends and valuable
contacts as
well. We had lively discussions and enjoyed good fellowship during
the
breaks and at the banquet dinner.
The local Ohio community-members were hospitable and gracious
and the
elegant and historic American river city of Cincinnati will be
the
permanent site of what Irving has now established as an annual
revisionist
event.
Next year he hopes to host James Bacque, author of "Other
Losses" and
"Crimes and Mercies," and Count Nikolai Tolstoy, author
of "The Minister
and the Massacres," who was bankrupted by Lord Aldington
(with the
collusion of the British government), after Tolstoy had publicized
British
complicity in the murder of East European anti-communist refugees
at the
end of WWII.
One would not necessarily expect that a historian would make
a good host or
organizer of people, venues and logistics in general, but David
Irving has
something of the Rommel about him, weaving a seamless gathering
under the
collective nose of the traditional enemies of freedom who, as
Marlowe said
of Mephistopheles, intend evil but paradoxically, in the final
analysis,
only do good--when those with the backbone to contend against
them, use the
energy of their noisy mendacity as the springboard of the revolution
for
truth.
