David Irving Gets 3 Years for Thought Crime
by James Buchanan
67 year old David Irving was arrested last year by the authorities in Austria for the relatively new crime of “Holocaust Denial.” In 1994, Austrian politicians under Jewish pressure, decided to make it a crime to “deny the Holocaust.” This means that anyone (even a professional historian such as Irving) is forbidden from discussing or debating any part of the Holocaust in a way that deviates from the state-approved version.
The Holocaust story has changed several times since the end of World War Two. Originally it was claimed that six million Jews were gassed with four million gassed at Auschwitz. Later it was claimed that four million Jews were gassed and two million were shot. Then it was claimed that 1.1 million people were gassed at Auschwitz. Despite these radical changes in the Holocaust story, the total figure of six million was maintained as if it were a holy relic.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, the German records for Auschwitz were recovered showing a total of 70,000 deaths mostly from typhus (and many of these deaths resulted indirectly from Allied bombing, which blocked medical supplies and insecticide to control lice and typhus). Only about half of those deaths were Jewish, suggesting 35,000 perished mostly from disease in contrast to the four million homicidal deaths originally claimed. Still, the pro-Holocaust crowd insists that a million people were murdered at Auschwitz even though the most credible evidence shows nothing of the kind. Despite having spies inside the Third Reich, no intelligence reports of an ongoing Holocaust surfaced during the war or afterwards. The Allies could have bombed Auschwitz if there were any serious thought that people were being exterminated there.
While a gas chamber was a novel means of execution in the pre-war era, it would have been highly impractical to murder large numbers of people using gas chambers. An elaborate ventilation system is necessary to disperse the poison gas and a long delay is needed between each used of the gas chamber. The Jewish fiction writers who invented the Holocaust story made a poor choice by claiming that millions were gassed. The Communists were highly-skilled mass murderers. Their tactics were to kill people a short distance from where they lived, shooting each victim once in the head. The dead were buried in mass graves and trees were planted on top of the massacre sites.
When the Germans discovered the Soviet massacre of Polish soldiers in the Katyn forest, they invited representatives from neutral countries including Switzerland and Sweden as well as the Red Cross to examine this Communist atrocity. Two American colonels, who were POWs, were also brought to the massacre site. In contrast, the Allies have never allowed a completely free inspection of the alleged German “death camps” –only highly guided tours were done. Most recently, the Iranians have shown an interest in sending a scientific team to examine Auschwitz. If the Poles refuse to allow this scientific analysis of the remains of Auschwitz, then that will be a sure sign that they are hiding something.
There was a collective decision between the Communists, British and Truman administration after the war to fabricate a colossal war crime charge against the Germans at the “Nuremberg Trial.” The original reason for the French and British entering the war was the “freedom” of the Polish people. Churchill however sold out the Poles to Communist slavery at the Yalta Conference so another rationale for the war was needed. The case for the Holocaust relied overwhelmingly on “evidence” from the Communists. All of the so-called extermination camps just happened to fall inside Soviet-occupied territory.
One brave chemist, Fred Leuchter, who had a career as a gas chamber expert for executions in the US, traveled to Auschwitz to do research there. He secretly took a sample from the wall of the gas chamber. He found that there was no residue of poison gas in the wall. The gas chambers also did not have an effective means of being sealed or having the poison gas vented. The gas chambers at Auschwitz were a fraud.
In 1977, Professor Arthur Butz of Northwestern University published a book: “The Hoax of the Twentieth Century.” Professor Butz noted that the world population of Jews did not change significantly from before and after the war, holding steady at about 16 million. About half a million Jews remained in Paris despite four years of German occupation. If the Nazis had a policy of total extermination of the Jews, their failure to target such a large number of Jews concentrated in Paris makes no sense at all. Prior to the war, the Germans allowed about half a million Jews to immigrate out of Germany. Once again, allowing the Jews to leave makes no sense if there were a plan to exterminate them.
Only about five million Jews lived in the area occupied by Germany during the war. Two million Jews retreated along with the Communists in eastern Europe before the German advance. After the war, a large number of Jews immigrated to the United States and Israel. The three million Jews, who turned up in Israel not long after the war, had to come from somewhere. How could millions of Jews immigrate from Europe if they had been exterminated by the Germans?
The Holocaust is war propaganda. It does not hold up well to inspection and debate so cowardly politicians have outlawed “Holocaust Denial.” Historians, who simply want to get at the truth are being thrown in jail in a manner not seen since the Dark Ages. David Irving is nothing less than a modern day Galileo. The truth will win out eventually. Sooner or later ordinary people will begin to wonder why this one historical event can’t be examined or criticized.
