Australia's first historical revisionist conference, held in Adelaide
on 7 -- 9 August 1998, was well attended with guest speakers from
around the world, including Arthur Butz, Jürgen Graf, Andrew
Gray, John Sack, and some who attended via videos and phone linkups.
The last time such a gathering had met was four years ago in the
United States.
The aim was a symposium to draw together interested persons from
around the world and attempt to overcome the factionalism within
the revisionist movement which has drained individuals of unnecessary
energy. This internal family squabble pleases the enemy of revisionism
because such public in-fighting, often the result of a basic clash
of wills, sets back the task of publishing the real history of
World War II. The most recent example of such is Ron Rosenbaum's
interview with David Irving wherein Rosenbaum quotes Irving as
saying something about "cracked anti-Semites", and how
Irving intends to distance himself from his current followers
as soon as he again becomes a "respectable historian".
Irving denies he ever made such or similar comments.
It was also hoped that the symposium would show how scholarly
and pioneering our work is. The Australian Human Rights and Equal
Opportunity Commission before whom we stand accused of being "anti-Semitic"
and "racial haters" will, it is hoped, realize that
our work cannot be reduced to one of simplistic terminology. Our
field of study is far more embracing, and by attempting to reduce
it to one of sloganeering the enemy is attempting to deprive us
of our intellectual freedom. This we vigorously oppose -- and
that is why we look forward to attending the next International
Revisionist Symposium in the near future which may be held in
Dublin, Ireland.
The symposium began on Friday, 7 August, [1998] at 6 pm when participants
gathered at The Feathers Hotel for registration and an informal
dinner [in Adelaide, South Australia]. We were honoured to have
among our guests the Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates. On
Saturday morning about fifty participants arrived for the two-day
symposium in the dignified surroundings of Fernilee Lodge. The
proceedings were videod by Mr Thomas Knight of Independent Studios,
Melbourne, and five three-hour tapes are now available. Some technical
glitches occurred when a few phone calls did not go through, and
occasionally speeches had to be cut down for lack of time, but
in general this auspicious occasion went off exceptionally well.
Adelaide Institute intends to publish the full proceedings in
book-form. Dr Fredrick Töben and all who helped plan and
run this event, the organizations which supplied the technical
equipment, the venue and the accommodation, are to be commended
for doing such a good job.
There is no room here to give a detailed summary of all the speeches
so I offer here my analysis. Dr Töben opened the proceedings
by welcoming all participants and reading out greetings from political
prisoners Günter Deckert, Udo Walendy, Jack vanTongeren --
all currently in jail, and Christopher Steele. The hand-out included
a paper by Mr Peter Myers: "The Role of Hitler in the New
World Order" -- which will be published in the November newsletter.
He affirmed the need for truth in history to be proclaimed at
a time of attempted suppression of free speech by the "real
haters", those who hate freedom of discussion.
Dr Töben screened an earlier video taken from a 1994 ABC-TV's
Nightline program which included comments by present Adelaide
Institute Assistant Director, Geoff. Muirden, and Jeremy Jones,
from the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, about the Holocaust
issue.
The program starred prominent "exterminationist" Professor
Deborah Lipstadt who complained that revisionists were "the
lunatic fringe", and "haters who spread hateful contamination",
not to be taken seriously by "reputable historians".
Dr Töben then screened a second video, an excerpt from Channel
9's Nightline program which again featured Mr Jeremy Jones who
bitterly complained about the revisionists being haters. Dr Töben,
who was also interviewed for that program, made the remark that
those who usually label others as haters are themselves the haters.
Mr Mark Weber
Director of the Institute for Historical Review sent his greetings
per video. He remarked that the IHR now had its own Website, replacing
Greg Raven's, and were scoring 800 hits a day. He claimed that
the "exterminationist" claims were gradually being whittled
down and cited Faurisson's famous quip: "No Holes, No Holocaust",
meaning that the four square holes allegedly in the ceiling of
the "gas chambers" and the supposedly hollow columns
which carried gas, were both false claims, that there were in
fact no such holes. Dr Töben verified this when in April
1997 he visited Auschwitz in person, burrowed under the ruins
and could find no trace of either of them. A telephone linkup
with Weber produced his comment that nothing of the scope of the
Australian conference had been held before and he is interested
in planing for such, perhaps in Europe somewhere next year. While
talking on the telephone Dr Töben used a laptop to display
the speaker's Internet website.
Dr William DeMaria
Lecturer at the School of Social Work and Social Policy, University
of Queensland, author of The British Whistleblowers Protection
Bill: a shield too small spoke on The Death Of Dissent. Dr
De Maria insisted that it was a myth to say that Australia was
democratic, that, in fact, about the only right one had was to
buy products -- then only if one had the money. He saw little
support for whistleblowers and was concerned about the attempt
to suppress the free speech of Pauline Hanson, indicating the
low state of Australian democracy. Democracy was now "in
crisis", like a patient on "life support". Dr DeMaria
saw the One Nation movement as a reaction against despotism and
he said we were not free but the illusion of freedom was maintained
to keep the system going, Actually, there was only a measure of
freedom for those at the top of the social pyramid. Even the universities
had ceased to be centres of dissent and had become "edu-business",
training for job placement instead of debating and searching for
truth. Noticing a large Asian intake of students, he commented
that we were training "the Asian mandarins of tomorrow".
Dr Joel Hayward
Owing to illness, this historian -- Senior Lecturer at Massey
University, Palmerston North, New Zealand -- was not present at
the meeting, nor could he participate in the phone linkup. Dr
Hayward is the first historian to have written a Master's thesis
on "revisionism and the Holocaust". Later, in his video
presentation, Dr Robert Countess commented on Dr Hayward's thesis
which supports what revisionists have been saying for decades.
Mr David Irving
Although expecting to establish contact with Mr Irving by phone
link on the issue of A reply to Robert Mannes' critique and
Battlefront Update, it was not possible to reach him while
Irving was driving to a speaking engagement at Niagara Falls in
the United States. We also learned that the proposed 15 August
Irving/BBC-TV visit to Auschwitz was cancelled by the museum officials
-- without reason. Irving is currently before a London court conducting
his defamation action against Professor Deborah Lipstadt.
Mr David Thomas
The co-Webmaster of the Bradley Smith website, Committee For Open
Debate On The Holocaust (CODOH) from the United States also was
uncontactable. He had recently provided Dr Töben with valuable
information concerning an email threat which had been sent from
the US to Dr Töben.
Mr Michael Collins-Piper
Author of Final Judgment: The Missing Link In The JFK Assassination
Conspiracy, Mr Michael Collins-Piper spoke to the meeting
by phone link. He insisted that Mossad was behind the Kennedy
assassination and to date he has found no contradictory evidence.
He said that he had now issued the 4th edition of his book, the
size of which had doubled, and had simply added to the compelling
evidence. Mr Collins-Piper claimed that his was the "only
book which paints a wide-ranging picture of the JFK conspiracy".
Uproar against the book in the US had given it publicity and boosted
sales. The "Kennedy cult" was of great interest in the
States, and people of different political views took his explanation
seriously. He commented that the Achilles heel of Zionism had
been pricked by the book.
Mr Hans Schmidt
Editor of GANPAC Brief and author of Jailed in Democratic
Germany, was contacted by phone link and gave his account
of being arrested in Germany for his critical comments against
Jews and freemasons. He felt that the judge who examined his case
had given him a chance to leave the country, which he had taken.
His book on his prison experience in Germany was selling well
in the U.S.
Mr Doug Collins
Retired columnist of the North Shore News, in Vancouver,
British Columbia, Canada, whose article "Swindler's List"
landed him before the British Columbia Human Rights Commission,
spoke on People's Courts, Star Chamber Revisited, Soft Gloved
Dictatorship, Or The New Inquisition. Doug Collins was contacted
by phone link, and remarked that the BC Human Rights Commission
was much like the Canadian Human Rights Commission, where the
truth of comments were taken as no defence. In Canada at the moment,
anyone could be charged with discrimination and bringing them
into hatred and contempt, the courts deciding what is "discrimination".
He remarked that it had cost the North Shore News over $Ca200,000
in legal fees to get an acquittal of the charges in 1997, so this
was intimidation by organizations that don't want free speech.
He commented that Canada's organised Jewry had initially hoped
to quickly wear down himself and the North Shore News, but this
hadn't happened. There had been a backlash by the "goyim".
He expected that in time the Canadian or BC Supreme Court would
decide whether truth could be a defence in such proceedings.
Mrs Olga Scully
Tasmanian Associate of the Adelaide Institute, who is facing examination
by the Australian Human Rights Commission as a result of complaints
lodged by Mr Jeremy Jones of the Executive Council of Australian
Jewry (ECAJ) gave An Update On Developments In My Battle Against
Australia's Zionist Lobby, detailing her experiences, in which
"the traditional enemy of truth" didn't want information
circulated by leaflets and tried to stop her doing so in her home
town of Launceston, Tasmania. She remarked that her appeal against
the HREOC was supported by Jack King, Jack Selzer, David Brochschmidt
and Dr Töben. She was waiting on the results of her last
hearing at the end of August, 1998. A new hearing date has now
been set for sometime in November 1998.
Mr Nigel Jackson
A revisionist poet, and author of The Case For David Irving,
spoke about The Truth And The Taboo: Some Reflections In The
Australian Context. Mr Jackson commented that, just as Hamlet
had to murder more and more people to attain control, so the Zionists
had to keep "murdering" debate on the Holocaust issue,
producing more and more laws. "making Pontius Pilate look
mediocre".
He said that the suppression of free speech in Australia will
spread unless our citizens take "disinfective" steps
but there were only a few revisionists in the total population.
Mr Jackson remarked that the media attention given to the One
Nation political party is intended to quench attention given to
Graeme Campbell's Australia First political party. Mr Jackson
analyzed, in detail, debate on racial vilification laws in 1992
between himself, Mark Leibler, Robert Manne on the issue of "racism"
and "anti-Semitism", noting the distortion of his arguments
by his opponents.
Mr John Sack
American author of An Eve For An Eye, attended in person
to give a speech despite the fact that he endorsed the "gas
chambers" , the "six million" and the "extermination"
thesis, but in his book had argued nevertheless that the torture
and murder of German civilians after World War II by Jewish camp
commanders was as much a "holocaust" for the Germans
involved as the Jewish version was for the Jews. He noted the
strenuous and hysterical attempts to block him publicising the
involvement of Jews in torturing German prisoners by Jewish interests
at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington.
He claimed a curious sense of "redemption" for the Jews
involved, admitting that they tortured prisoners, but then insisting
that they had later "atoned" for this by refusing to
continue the torture and massacre of prisoners, realizing that
this would reduce them to the level of their enemies. He felt
that "hate" only makes more hate: it is not a redemptive
force.
Mr Jürgen Graf
The keynote speaker was Swiss revisionist Jürgen Graf, author
of numerous books and speaker of 17 languages, who on 16 July
1998 had just been sentenced to 15 months prison and a 8,000 francs
fine for revisionist activities. It was during his stay in Adelaide
that Mr Graf was informed that he had lost his teaching job on
account of his 16 July conviction. He spoke on Majdanek Concentration
Camp: Some Findings. He said that the only revisionist book
on Majdanek was Majdanek, In All Eternity, which accused
Zionists of exploiting Jews in that concentration camp. He remarked
that few Western researchers had troubled to learn Polish. If
they had, they would have found that the Polish historians were
generally reliable, except in the number of victims and methods
of execution. Mr Graf remarked that German concentration camps
served the purpose of isolating anti-Nazi dissenters. By the end
of 1941 the deportation of Jews had created a manpower problem
for the war industry. The death rate in camps was high, owing
to typhus and poor sanitation. Reichsführer Himmler had ordered
the death rate in camps lowered, which stands against claims of
extermination. The Resistance movement was active, which would
mean that if there had been gas chambers in Majdanek, it would
have been reported. No such reports exist. To improve hygiene,
camps were sewered, and the sewerage of Majdanek was completed
in 1943, as was the provision
of running water. Most prisoners were Jews and Poles, many transferred
from Auschwitz. Mr Graf remarked that the history of Majdanek
camp was a history of ambition. It was meant to be part of a town
for the SS, but was only "a castle in the air." There
were never more than 23,000 inmates.
Poles resorted to tricks to prove it was an extermination camp.
One was the pile of shoes kept for cobbling, later exhibited as
if they were the remnants of slaughtered inmates. An historian
of Majdanek remarked that it was "completely open",
"visible from all sides". This would make it unsuitable
as an extermination camp since extermination could not be kept
secret, A "delousing chamber" was installed, and could
be seen by Polish workers who returned to their homes at night,
so if it had been a "gas chamber" the Polish workmen
could have reported it, but no such reports were available.
In one alleged gas chamber, Zyklon B pellets were supposedly poured
into the chamber from the roof. If the camp liberator had seen
any openings in the roof, he would have reported it, but made
no such comment.
Regarding the fourth claimed gas chamber and the biggest, Mr Graf
mentioned the blue colour on the walls, and two openings in the
ceiling which he personally visited on 27 June, 1997. He pointed
out that there was a large window in the alleged gas chamber,
which prisoners could have broken. He concluded that this gas
chamber was only for lice and fleas.
Barrack 41 is the first building in Majdanek tourists visit and
is reputedly the site of a gas chamber But it has no traces of
Zyklon B. It does have canisters therein, reputedly to have contained
the lethal carbon monoxide (CO) gas, but with the inscription
CO 2 for
carbon dioxide gas which is not lethal! In any case the carbon
monoxide was supposedly introduced through a pipe. Carlo Mattogno
claims that this gas chamber actually stored weapons.
In 1943 Germans were struggling against an enemy superior in manpower
and in this situation, why kill valuable workers? Reports of mass
murder at Majdanek are exaggerated, for example, the killing of
70,000 victims who were thrown into three ditches. Mr Graf estimated
that to get rid of 70,000 corpses it would have taken many tonnes
of wood; days would be required for the ditches to cool; tonnes
of human ash would need removal and unburned bones would have
to go to a grinding mill on a physically impossible scale. In
addition, the Resistance did not report on burning corpses. In
1944 the Soviets "liberated" Majdanek, and produced
inflated figures of inmates of about 245,000 over the real figure.
Many of the atrocity stories were of Russian invention. Mr Graf
argued that Majdanek was the worst camp of all in terms of morbidity.
[Update: In a letter dated 24 August 1998 Graf informed of the
imprisonment of Swiss patriot Ernst Indlekofer, publisher of Recht
und Freiheit at the hands of the "Zionist Occupation Regime".]
Mr Geoff. Muirden
Assistant Director of Adelaide Institute, spoke on An Overview
Of Historical Revisionism In Australia. He made the point
that, while not the first revisionist in Australia, John Bennett
was probably the most active and influential after he was converted
to revisionism in 1979 by reading Arthur Butz' The Hoax of
the Twentieth Century. He has actively promoted the issue
since 1979 in his booklet, a legal primer, Your Rights,
and by revisionist books and pamphlets sent to thousands of people
around Australia for which he had been widely vilified. Bennett
probably made the major contribution to revisionism before the
advent of the Adelaide Institute and the development of its website
with its overseas links which then gave Australian revisionism
international coverage.
Mr John Bennett
Commented on Where To From here?, summarizing his contribution
and remarking that revisionists had won the battle for truth on
paper, but hadn't won out in the real world yet!
Professor Arthur Butz
This veteran revisionist from the United States didn't need to
be introduced because his book The Hoax of the Twentieth Century,
remains a classic which sums up the relatively simple argument
about the alleged homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz. Still suffering
from jetlag he asked to be relieved of his dinner speech -- and
it was possible to re-shuffle the program so that he was the penultimate
speaker for the day.
Professor Butz spoke on The Hoax Ends The Twentieth Century,
alluding to his book which he didn't feel needed much revision.
He mentioned the active suppression of revisionism around the
world, especially in Germany. Speaking about the theory that anybody
could be motivated to attack someone because of "hate literature"
Professor Butz described this as "the most Orwellian concept
in circulation".
Professor Robert Faurisson
The final speaker of the day was French revisionist and author
of the famous quip "No Holes, No Holocaust". He spoke
by phone link after the screening of his video Marshal Pétain,
Anti-Communism And The Revisionist Challenge. The video took
viewers on a tour of "Vichy France" when in 1944, Marshal
Pétain made Vichy the capital of France. What is not mentioned
in books is that more than 16 countries recognized the Vichy government
and sent ambassadors to France. Now it is fashionable to smear
Pétain for collaborating with the Germans.
When asked about the future of revisionism, Faurisson said "we
shall never win and never lose". Revisionists cannot win
because they face a mindset that is 3,000 years old: the Jew against
the "goyim", tracing back to the time of Flaccus in
ancient Rome. The Holocaust has become a religion to the Jews
and it cannot be fought with reason. The Holocaust is "big
business" because "it's the golden calf of money --
it will never stop". Professor Faurisson concluded, "If
you want to keep up this battle, try to be clear, simple, not
pedantic, and keep a smile on your face", and regard revisionism
as the last great intellectual adventure of the twentieth century
and the first of the twenty-first century.
That concluded the day's proceedings and we adjourned until 7
pm when we met again for the formal dinner.
SUNDAY, 9 AUGUST, 1998
Mr Andrew Gray
Copy editor of The Barnes Review and a world authority
on Richard Wagner spoke on Errors, Lies, And Nonsense About
Wagner.
He remarked that no one blames Lenin on Tolstoy or Communism,
but there is a world industry blaming Wagner for creating Adolf
Hitler.
Mr Gray cited some of the esoteric "stream of garble"
discussing Wagner, but leaving out the essence of his art and
constituting "a monumental detour around the subject".
Wagner dealt with almost all aspects of civilization, saw the
dangers of the mass media and commented on the Jewish presence
in them and music as well. Part of Wagner's problem was financial.
He was not assured of a steady income because court theatres gave
"one-off" lump sum payments, not steady income. Wagner
did not possess a house of own his until he was 60.
Mr Gray stressed that Wagner understated his involvement in the
failed 1849 Dresden uprising. He was actually one of three leaders
and might have even participated in loading hand grenades. After
he wrote Judaism and Music, he was vilified and has not been forgiven
to this day. He did suggest that the Jewish canticle was largely
a form of gargling! Mr Gray said it was not in Wagner's nature
to be half-hearted, and would not back down under criticism. He
had an irascible temperament and there's his wife's calming influence
helped him through heart problems so he could write Parsifal.
Wagner, continued Mr Gray, was a "skull-splitting genius",
who had robbed music of its innocence, meaning that sexuality
pervades his music. The evolution of the cognition is portrayed
in Das Rheingold. It starts with three innocent maids swimming
around, then the symbol of the cognition enters in the form of
an ugly dwarf, indicating that reflective intelligence arose by
an unattractive method. Alberich tries to attract the Rhinemaidens
and is turned down by all three. Alberich decides that instead
of chasing women, something can be done with consciousness itself.
He goes to a factory and makes a ring, the symbol of reflective
consciousness. Only the owner of the ring can control the power.
Mr Gray stated it was absurd to claim that Alberich was a specifically
Jewish caricature because through him Wagner raises the question
of the meaning of life itself. Gray concedes that speculation
on this remains open to the end of the Ring and beyond. Parsifal
may signal a farewell to transcendence itself.
Mr Michael Hoffman, II
Director of the website, "Campaign for Radical Truth In History',
spoke by phone link on Racism In The Jewish Talmud. Mr
Hoffman remarked that revisionists had been described as "racists"
and "hatemongers", yet the Babylonian Talmud, the Jewish
"Bible" is itself "racist" and "hateful".
Mr Hoffman disagrees with Israel Shahak, author of Jewish History,
Jewish Religion, who believes that both the Talmud and the
Old Testament are products of rabbinic Judaism. Hoffman claims
that the Talmud, which disagrees with most of Old Testament theology,
only came after Christ. The Jews went to Babylon, where the Talmud
was devised, and Talmudism had little resemblance to traditional
Judaism, for example, usury is condemned in the Torah, but not
in the Talmud. The Talmud is concerned to find, or invent, loopholes
in the Torah law. Jesus Christ himself condemned the "traditions
of the elders" which was a starting point for the Talmudic
theology. Mr Hoffman stressed that not all Jews are Talmudists.
There is a Karaite sect whose members believe in strict adherence
to the Old Testament or Torah law. Because Talmudic law is complicated,
it gave rise to a priesthood who would "interpret" it.
Some ex-Jews have exposed the anti-goyim, anti-Christian aspect
of the Talmud, for example, Jakob Pfefferkorn, who revealed details
to Martin Luther.
Mr Hoffman said that two types of Talmudists emerged: (1) the
mediocre type, who believed in over-regulation of every aspect
of life; (2) the libertarian or libertine type, who became freethinkers
and explored mysticism in the Kaballa. Zionism is a product of
the Talmud.
Mr Hoffman said that most Jews in the U.S. were not familiar with
the Talmud, but many respect certain "Talmudic sages".
Most of President Clinton's cabinet are Reform Jews. Mr Hoffman
claimed that the "Aryan Nations" group in the United
States was financed by Zionism and he added that the roots of
"anti-Semitism" arose from persecution of Christians
and gentiles generally.
Dr Robert Brock
The publisher of The Holocaust Dogma of Judaism was reached
by phone link, and explained the Jewish link in slavery. Dr Brock
is himself black and descended from slaves and he remarked that
slavery was part of a holocaust afflicting 110 million blacks,
but did not receive the same attention as the Jewish Holocaust.
He remarked that of 180 slave ships, 120 were Jewish owned. He
now wanted reparations for black Americans.
Dr Brock described slavery as the world's greatest holocaust,
and asked how "six million victims" could be compared
to 110 million.
Dr Robert Countess
A member of the Board of Directors of the US-based Institute For
Historical Review, Dr Countess in his video presentation talked
on Historical Sources And Their Use In Holocaust Historiography.
He explained that sources for the homicidal gas chambers were
rare and unreliable and he pointed out that Professor Deborah
Lipstadt in her studies had used religious references rather than
hard historical evidence.
Historical evidence is based on (1) tradition; (2)remains; (3)
documents and he suggested that no one source depended upon as
a reliable guide but if there is agreement between traditions
and documents, the case is stronger.
Historians may find the evidence ambiguous, but for a "true
believer" such as Professor Lipstadt, there are no doubts
for her about the main pattern of events, only dispute about some
details. Dr Countess said the firebombing of Dresden was a more
appropriate use of the term "holocaust", and he claimed
that "holocaustology" might be included as one of more
than 100 mental illnesses. He stressed there was no documentary
evidence of the claims that Jews were turned into soap yet there
are people who still believe that story.
He felt that the research by Germar Rudolf was of a higher level
than that of Leuchter, who had disavowed his research under pressure.
Pressac's contribution was to produce some important photos. The
question that the youth of the future will ask is, why did it
take so long to get public acceptance of the fact that lies had
been told about the Holocaust?
Mr Friedrich Paul Berg
Scientist Mr Berg spoke from the US by phone link on The Diesel
Gas Chamber Hoax Revisited: The Importance Of Technical And Scientific
Arguments.
Mr Berg said there were two claimed gas chambers: (1) diesel engine
gas chambers -- supposedly killed two million, and (2) Zyklon
B supposedly killed one million. Many "goyim" were supposedly
killed, but get less attention. Mr Berg said that there was a
prejudice against diesel engines owing to their dirty smell, but
the diesel exhaust was not toxic. He said that a better candidate
for "gassings" would have been the kind of wood-burning,
gas-producing vehicles used during the war, but these were not
part of the Holocaust legend.
In 1927, the Germans used two diesel locomotives underground,
which did not produce toxic effects, and then their use spread.
Mr Berg reminded us that in Britain, no one has suffered toxic
effects from breathing gas from diesels in over 35 years. An essay
by Bennett S. Lockman in 1981 on diesels remarked that "no
significant health hazard had been seen in over 20 studies".
Mr Berg said that under certain circumstances, when the engine
was under maximum load, you might produce a "gas chamber"
from diesels, but it was hard to do. Gasoline (petrol) engines
would have been more suitable but, again, were not mentioned in
the Holocaust legend.
Mr Ernst Zündel
Like David Irving and Robert Faurisson, Ernst Zündel would
never get into Australia on account of his German "conviction"
for having questioned the veracity of the homicidal gas chamber
allegations. Telling the truth in a German court!
So, instead, we watched a video in which Mr Zündel introduced
his Canadian lawyer, Mr Doug Christie who is fighting his Internet
case before a Canadian Human Rights Commission. Christie mentioned
that "truth is no defence" in such proceedings and he
suggested that Jews, as a minority group, should be sensitive
to the rights of minorities.
The Zündelsite was the target of three four-weekly hearings
by the Canadian Human Rights Commission. The Zündelsite,
controlled by Dr Ingrid Rimland in the US, was protected by the
First Amendment clause of the constitution, guaranteeing free
speech. Attempts are being made by the CHRC were made to monitor
Internet usage across the border from the US to another country
-- Canada -- by regarding the website as an extension of the telephone
via a modem. The tribunal's thinking is that because it is possible
for Canadians to communicate with US sources, Canadians can be
punished. Thus if a Canadian was interviewed by a US newspaper,
expressing something that would be regarded as hatred or contempt
in Canada, but acceptable in the US, he could still be punished
in Canada. This makes Canada a gulag!
Mr Christie reminded us that in Canada, we have the paradox that
people in a court are asked to swear on the Bible that they are
telling the truth, then they are told that "truth is no defence"
in proceedings before the Commission -- truth has no relevance!
Canada has descended to the level of a Third World country.
The truth is that Germans were not the only villains during World
War II. Three million German women were raped. Bombing raids and
phosphorous rained down on Germany. Allied war criminals walk
free and only Germans can be prosecuted. Once condemned by the
media, you can't be redeemed. According to Doug Christie, those
characterised as "anti-Semites", "racists",
and "hatemongers" cannot hold meetings in Canada. They
can't even hold a meeting to defend themselves against these charges.
No "voice of dissent" over these proceedingsfrom the
Canadian government, not even invoking the "Charter of Rights"
declared in 1992. Members of Parliament make sure of protecting
politically correct views. Although the Zündelsite is in
the United States, the Canadian Human Rights Commission assumes
it to be actually under Zündel's control.
Ingrid Rimland was summoned to appear, and demonstrated that the
Zündelsite was strictly under US management. She just named
it the "Zündelsite".
Mr Paul Fromm
Mr Fromm's video presentation did not arrive on time for screening
and so he was contacted by phone link, and talked on Free Speech
Under Attack In Cuba Del Norte (Canada).
Paul Fromm had been a teacher for 34 years. The Committee for
Human Rights of the Anti Defamation Commission of B'nai B'rith
wanted to fire Paul Fromm because he criticised the "open
door policy" of immigration. Attempts were made to remove
Christmas from celebration in schools. In 1996 Fromm organized
a free speech seminar and backed Olivera in the U.S. The Board
of Education said that Fromm showed disrespect for the core values
of education and in 1997 he was sacked although he had not promoted
revisionist works in school time.
Paul Fromm is a member of the Canadian Association for Free Expression
and has been defending free speech for years, including that of
Ernst Zündel.
Dr Ingrid Rimland
The webmaster of the Zündelsite, appeared in a video on My
Wandering Years. Dr Rimland had written a book, The Wanderers,
and she explained to Ernst Zündel on video, that it was an
autobiographical life of her grandmother in fictional form. Then
it followed Ingrid's life in South America. Her family arrived
in Paraguay as displaced persons, as part of a Mennonite community
from Ukraine.
Despite the conventional blackening of Hitler's name she commented
that Hitler had allowed the Mennonites to escape persecution and
to help racial pride. In Ukraine, they were persecuted under Russian
control, but when the Germans came they stopped the persecution.
Ukrainian refugees eventually made their way to South America
They survived there and preserved Mennonite values. Dr Rimland
has learned English as her sixth language and she began university
education late in life.
Dr Charles Weber
A phone link was established and he spoke on 15 Years Later
-- A Reassessment. In 1983, Weber published The Holocaust:
120 Questions and Answers, and now tried to put it into proper
perspective.
Since then, in 1985, he had testified at Zündel's trial,
and noticed some important new books coming on the market, for
example, Deborah Lipstadt Denying The Holocaust; John Sack's
An Eye For An Eye; John Ball's Air Photo Evidence;
Daniel Goldhagen's Hitler's Willing Executioners. With
the opening of the Russian archives new vistas were exposed but,
said Dr Weber, The Holocaust: 120 Questions and Answers
was still basically valid, though it had been supplemented by
new approaches.
Mr John Ball
The Canadian air photo expert and compiler of The Ball Report,
left that morning for a holiday and could therefore not address
the symposium. In a statement, read put by Dr Töben, he directed
interested persons to his website where all the details of his
argument are set out. In essence, The Ball Report is based
on photos of Auschwitz taken during World War II, which fail to
show evidence of smoking chimneys from "gassings".
Mr Jürgen Graf
The title of Mr Graf's second talk was changed from The Swiss
Gold Report to Assault On A Nation, wherein he remarked
that the accusations against Switzerland are a primitive swindle.
He claimed that organised Jewry has always obscured the real issues
and that the Swiss gold hoax routine started in 1995.
Ruth Dreyfus, an ardent Zionist, wrote that during World War II,
the Swiss government knew that Jewish funds were still in Swiss
Banks. But if this was true, Mr Graf mused, why wait until 1995
to alert people? Although a pro-Zionist media gave her support,
nevertheless only about US$7 million in funds have been found
to date, merely 0.1% of the sum claimed.
Mr Graf told how a Rumanian-born Jewess claimed that her family
escaped from concentration camps and then they went to Budapest.
All important family documents were lost -- there was no proof
of claims and she did not know the name of the bank or the account
number where funds were allegedly stored. Nevertheless, in 1996,
Gisela Weisshaus sued Swiss Banks. During World War II, the German
Reich depended on imports, payments being in either gold or Swiss
francs. In 1942 the demand for francs increased. National banks
of exporting countries used Swiss francs, so gold was "laundered",
The "robbed gold" was sent to Switzerland. There was
nothing immoral about Swiss banks trading during the war because
they simply wanted to survive.
It was claimed that 33,000 Jews were prevented from going to Switzerland
and were sent to their deaths. But the number of Jews was lower
than claimed, the real figure being 10,000 or less. Mr Graf strongly
asserted the allegation that the Jews were all sent to their deaths,
was rubbish. An attempt was made to associate the gold with murdered
Jews even if it had nothing to do with them. To create confusion
is part of the strategy of organised Jewry to facilitate the destruction
of the Swiss banking system.
Mr Graf then mentioned a July 31,1997 newspaper article, "The
superpower US will not tolerate refusal of European unity".
This helps explain the real motive of the gold hoax: the aim is
to eliminate Switzerland as a financial power. The Swiss economy
is a thorn in the side of the US Switzerland wants freedom, not
absorption into The New World Order. It is not a member of NATO.
However, continued Mr Graf, The New World Order functionaries
want a single centralized state, the European Union. By branding
Switzerland as a Nazi collaborator, it is being intimidated to
abandon independence.
As part of the strategy, the Swiss government was pushed to establish
anti-racism laws, ostensibly to protect foreigners, in reality
to shield Jews from criticism. The Swiss anti-racist legislation
is broad in scope and contains many undefined terms. In 1997 there
was an avalanche of trials against those who "offended the
Jews."
Mr Peter Richards
Australian educator, spoke on The Betrayal Of German Intellectualism
wherein he remarked that he came to revisionism by accident when
he was asked to speak on "Holocaust Studies", and he
gave details of correspondence with the German ambassador in Australia
enquiring about the existence of laws in Germany against querying
the Holocaust.
He cited an article in The Scientific American, September,
1997, which talked about how memories could be created -- as in
False Memory Syndrome. Research showed that false memories could
be created by combining actual memories with suggestions by others.
The research on 20,000 individuals, reported in 1997, shows that
exposure to others' influence creates memory distortions. Distortions
happen when one is suggestively interrogated or reviewed for media
coverage. Susceptibility is enhanced where the passage of time
allows memory to fade and other events that did not happen can
be substituted. Mr Richards said that some of this memory distortion
occurred to help create false memories among Holocaust "survivors."
Mr Germar Rudolf
Industrial chemist and author of The Rudolf Report, and
currently in exile because a sick German judiciary wishes to imprison
him, Mr Rudolf submitted a most interesting paper: Some considerations
about the "Gas Chambers" of Auschwitz and Birkenau.
He then spoke by phone link, saying that Richard Green's attempt
to refute his Rudolf Report fails. He claimed that the Prussian
blue effect on the walls on the delousing chambers would remain
bonded to concrete and it would not decay with time.
[Update: 13 September 1998: From: [email protected]:
The Rudolf Report has been cleared by the Swiss courts as a scientific
text.
Writer René-Louis Berclaz (of Route des Misets 110, CH-1918
Châtel-St.Denis, Switzerland) was prosecuted at the instance
of the organisation LICRA (Ligue Internationale conte le Racisme
et l'Antisémitisme, the European counterpart to the New-York
based ADL) for "racial discrimination". Reason: Berclaz
had circulated the French-language edition of The Rudolf Report
which demonstrates that the installations passed off as "gas
chambers" at Auschwitz could not have been homicidal gas
chambers.
When Berclaz asked the court to produce a rebuttal to the Rudolf
Report, the examining magistrate Jean Pierre Schröter of
the Third District Court ("3e Ressort de la Veveyse",
Avenue de la Gare, CH-1618 Châtel-St.Denis) appointed professor
of chemistry Dr. Henri Ramuz (of Rheinparkstrasse 3/8, CH-4127
Birsfelden) to assess the disputed document. Dr. Ramuz, who submitted
his affidavit to the court on May 18, concluded that the Rudolf
Report had to be described "as scientifically correct."
On September 9 the court reconvened at Châtel-St.Denis.
Under the chairmanship of Judge Jean Pierre Schröter the
four-judge panel handed down its judgement: The accused René-Louis
Berclaz is acquitted of the charge of racial discrimination in
connection with the circulation of the Rudolf Report.
Berclaz was however given a four month suspended prison sentence
because in his private newsletter he had printed an incomplete
quotation from Das jüdische Paradox, Athenäum,
Frankfurt 1988, p. 77, by the late Nahum Goldmann, President of
the World Jewish Congress:
"I'm scarcely exaggerating. Jewish life consists of two things.
Getting money, and whining." Berclaz omitted the words, "I'm
scarcely exaggerating," and this was held to be punishable
as it distorted the meaning.
LICRA has informed the press that it will not be appealing the
judgement as it is satisfied with it. Evidently it shies away
from any kind of scientific debate on the Rudolf Report before
the courts.
Germar Rudolf advised on 14 September: "The expert in charge
of preparing his report about my report wrote a handwritten 1
1/2 page letter to the judge stating that the chemical part contains
no obvious mistakes and appears to be scientific, but no thorough
analysis was made. Apparently that expert did not dare to get
involved too deeply in this subject in order to avoid trouble
for himself. I shall publish the whole lot in 1/99, Vierteljahreshefte
für freie Geschichtsforschung, Postbus 60, B-Berchem
2, Belgium.
NB: The publisher of the above magazine, Mr Herbert Verbeke, also
faces court action for having published in Belgium Antwort
Auf Die Goldhagen-Und Spielberglügen. Mr Ignatz Bubis
(the Jeremy Jones of German Jewry) lodged the complaint and Oberstaatsanwalt,
Mr Klein, is now pursuing his brother, Mr Siegfried Verbeke, for
alleged Volksverhetzung -- sedition.]
Mr Ahmed Rami
Founder of Radio Islam, talked on Historical Revisionism From
Radio Islam's Point-Of-View by phone link. He remarked that
he started Radio Islam in 1987 and since had dealt with Palestine
and Jewish propaganda. He noted this must not be questioned --
only critics were accused of "racism." Ironically, he
said, Israel is anti-Semitic because it persecutes Semitic Palestinians.
Dr Serge Thion
French Revisionist, was connected by phone link to explain The
Way The Simon Wiesenthal Center In Los Angeles and The US Holocaust
Memorial Museum Are Trying To Prove The Holocaust Happened After
All.
Dr Thion visited the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington,
D.C. and the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles where they forbid
people to take pictures or to record what they see. You are asked
to talk to fictional characters: it is pure invention. The museums
invent dialogue. They use the Nazi Wannsee Conference document
in an attempt to prove that a Jewish extermination program existed,
and a reconstruction of a "gas chamber" is contradicted
by evidence -- including that demonstrated by Dr Töben at
Auschwitz.
Mr Andreas Röhler
The editor of Sleipnir, a magazine that critically looks
at Germany's historical and political landscape, could not be
contacted. He is constantly before court in Berlin -- but to date
has avoided a prison sentence, though the police regularly confiscate
his computer and other working tools.
Dr Ingrid Weckert
Although not listed in the program it was intended to talk to
the author of the 1981 published book about "the night of
broken glass": Feuerzeichen., Dr Weckert could not
be contacted, but this was not because she had just been fined
by a Berlin court for having written an article for Sleipnir,
"Zweimal Dachau" (Twice Dachau). She compares diary
entries of two inmates: Arthur Haulot, a Belgian PoW during the
war and Gert Naumann, a German soldier interned at Dachau after
the war. The Berlin public prosecutor found that Weckert's writing
was "Volksverhetzung" (sedition) and duly convicted
her to pay a fine of DM3.200,- Interestingly, as early as 1984
and 1985, both Naumann and Haulot had their diaries published.
Mr Frank Swoboda
This Austrian revisionist was contacted by phone link. In 1995-6
he wrote books which are not well known internationally, and were
only written in German. The German authorities had seized the
text and put him in prison. He appealed to the High Court against
his sentence, and was freed on condition that he not publicly
make any comments about such matters in Austria.
Mr Wolfgang Fröhlich
The Austrian chemical engineer who gave evidence at the 16 July
1998 Graf trial in Baden, Switzerland -- stating that the homicidal
gas chambers are a technical impossibility -- was not contactable
by phone link
Mr Emil Lachout
This Austrian engineer has in his possession a copy of a document
which clearly states that no gas chambers existed on German territory
during World War II. His comments were made in German, but a commentary
in English is available. He was one of Ernst Zündel's witnesses
during the "false news" trials in Toronto, Canada. For
his witness he has been hounded by the Austrian authorities --
including threats of having him mentally certified. Fortunately
he has a judgement from the European Court of Justice in his favour
which condemns the Austrian government for its treatment of Lachout.
Mr David Brockschmidt
S.A. Associate of the Adelaide Institute gave a talk on Schindler's
List And All That. Mr Brockschmidt said that his father had
known Oscar Schindler and had been instrumental in saving the
lives of Jews, but had been given no credit in the making of Spielberg's
film Schindler's List. Tom Keneally, author of Schindler's
Ark was the inspiration for the film, but the title was changed
to Schindler's List.
Keneally made a lot of money out of writing the book, and Spielberg
made $US1 billion out of "Holocaust Park" as Brockschmidt
dubs the film version of Keneally's book. Spielberg interviewed
Emily Schindler, Oscar Schindler's wife, who knew the real story,
but he distorted it. In the film, Jewish women went to Auschwitz,
and Oscar paid for Jewish women to be freed from there but Schindler
was never in Auschwitz. Emily Schindler described the film as
"lies" and her husband as "an arsehole".
When Emily Schindler's book, Memories, was released, it
seemed the truth might emerge, but it was in fact a whitewash
job. Emily now had a life interest to stay in a place owned by
the B'nai B'rith Commission, and had $50,000 donated to her by
Spielberg, so we may well assume she now protects her beneficiaries
by saying that her husband was a good guy and commending the film.
Spielberg wanted an "Oscar", so history had to be changed
to fit.
Professor Arthur Butz
In closing the symposium Professor Butz remarked that apostasy
was rare among revisionists but it did exist, recent examples
being David Cole, and Fred Leuchter, who succumbed under pressure.
He said that there was more pressure on a Jew than on a "goy"
to recant.
Much of Holocaustomania is a reaction to revisionism. The Holocaust
hoax is ending the twentieth century. "Entrenched hokum"
is endorsed by the mass media and subject to legal protection.
There is also a refusal to conduct academic debate on the subject,
and attempts to make revisionists seem crackpots.
The speed with which revisionism was publicised on the Internet
astonished Butz. Most major revisionists, except Faurisson, are
on the Internet. Professor Butz doesn't believe victory against
the Exterminationists is assured, because it has become a religious
thing. The present system is volatile -- who knows what will happen?
Dr Fredrick Töben wound up the conference and Mr Michael
Mazur, Victorian Associate of the Adelaide Institute, pledged
financially to assist Australia's first revisionist conference
which then concluded. Most participants adjourned for dinner at
the Arkaba Hotel where final farewells were said.
