In newsletter No. 80 it is stated that in the video I sent for
the revisionist conference I mentioned that "more than 16
(sixteen) countries recognised the Vichy government and sent ambassadors
to France" and that this is "not mentioned in books".
Firstly, I did not say "more than sixteen", it was or
should have been "more than forty";
Second, this is mentioned in many books on the Vichy regime or
on Marshall Pétain. Among those "more than forty countries"
you had USA, USSR, Sweden, Portugal, Eire, many South American
countries and, of course Germany, Italy, Japan, Hungary.
Admiral Leaky, a friend of Marshall Pétain, was US Ambassador;
when his wife died in Vichy he went back to the USA on 1 May 1942,
and was replaced by Pinkney Tuck, chargé d'affaires, who
left Vichy in November 1942. Remember that Germany and USA were
at war since December 1941! Bagomolov was the USSR ambassador;
he stayed in Vichy several months after the beginning of the war
between his country and Germany. A lot of American journalists
were living in Vichy; some of them attended a famous political
trial in Riom, near Vichy, and used to send their papers on it
in April 1942 to New York. All the Hungarian press correspondents,
except one, were Jews!
But, as you know, nowadays, the political truth in France is that
the Vichy Government was, from the beginning, 10 July 1940 - from
the beginning and even before, that is 22 June 1940 when Marshall
Pétain, Prime Minister, asked Germany for a cease-fire!
- a totally illegitimate one, recognized only by Satan and Germany.

We see the act of displaying a written document on Internet as
the equivalent to displaying it on the shelves of a public library.
It costs us a modicum of labor and money. The only benefit accrues
to the reader who, we surmise, thinks by himself. A reader looks
for a document on the Web at his or her own risks. As for the
author, there is no reason to suppose that he or she shares any
responsibilty for other writings displayed on this Site. Because
laws enforcing a specific censorship on some historical question
apply in various countries (Germany, France, Israel, Switzerland,
Canada, and others) we do not ask their permission from authors
living in thoses places: they wouldn't have the freedom to consent.
We believe we are protected by the Human Rights Charter:
ARTICLE 19. <Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.>The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948, in Paris.
