When I was in Europe in the 50s and even the 70s, Hate Laws were barely extant. Some countries didn’t even have them on the books. Others only enforced them when there was violence.
Now when my latest book was found on Eric Fromme when he went back to Canada, it was seized by police and it took them two months to decide it was legal. People go to prison, not only for saying un-PC things, but in Germany the lawyer can go to jail for defending such a writer in court.
One advantage of me being around for so long is that I NOTICE the difference.
But I finally figured out WHY the Holocaust Denial campaign has gotten so extreme.
Science has caught up with the Holocaust. Not one single Holocaust myth survives which would not go down in a roar of laughter if scientists were let loose on it.
For example, many of the Mass Slaughter locations have been declared Holy of Holies because in so many cases there are no bodies there. One of the great proven facts in the 1990s was that the Nazis rounded up and slaughtered Polish officers in the Katyn Forest.
After the Iron Curtain fell, the first group of people on the ground found that those skeletons had Soviet bullets in them.
I haven’t heard the Katyn Forest Massacre mentioned since.
If you go on a tour of Russia, you are told where Germans killed a bunch of people. More than one tourist has asked, “Didn’t’ STALIN kill anybody?”
No. From 1941 to 1945 every mass grave was filled by Nazis.
But the fall of the Iron Curtain is not the real problem. When they analyzed the soap everybody knew was made out of Jews, it turned out to be vegetable based. I have not heard of a Jewish Lampshade in decades.
The hair of the Holocaust victims in the Eastern European death camps is obviously plastic.
No one in the 50s could have foreseen in what detail our present technology can get the dates of deaths and who caused them. None of us have heard of a single instance where the Holocaust claims were backed by recent science.
And if one HAD, we would have heard of it a thousand times.
We don’t want to let people get off onto the Holocaust, but among ourselves, this is a good thing to see clearly. Those laws are not aimed at those who DENY the Holocaust, but against anyone who DISCUSSES it.
Or STUDIES it.
The expert who was sentenced to six years in an Austrian prison for denying the Holocaust did not deny it. He said it existed, and some three hundred thousand Jews died in it.
The Holocaust industry is acting like any other industry whose existence is hanging by a string.
The tobacco industry is well know to have suppressed grants for serious studies of tobacco’s use on health. Everybody knows that now.
But the media only Follow the Money when they are ALLOWED to.

There’s a new Nazi documentary on the history channel. I think it may be the most intense anti-Nazi propaganda documentary ever made. The people who made it are good at arranging 3 elements together.
1) Images: Hardcore saluting and marching Nazis, dead people, Hitler with kids, swastika..death..swastika..death..swastika..death.
2) Music: Horror movie music, jamming hands on piano while flashing Hitler in a weird pose.
3)Commentary: “Witness accounts” and skilled voice inflection that really emphasizes the “madness” of the Nazis. They actually used a new form of commentary where they use American White working and middle class voices to read the parts for the Nazis. They used a stupid sounding 16 year old teeny bopper girl as the voice of a girl who proclaimed her eagerness to breed for the 3rd Reich.
They use these 3 elements to create a narrative. I think that narrative can actuality be called “mythology.” The Nazi documentaries on the History channel are supposed to condition people to see Nazis as the worst “villains” in history. This is mythology. It’s certainly not scientific in any way. It’s purely a FEELING about a NARATIVE that has been CONDITIONED into people over TIME. Most of what the public knows about the Nazis is based on this mythology.
Television and movies can create emotion. Images, words, and music can produce emotions in people. This is why people yell at the TV screen when watching a movie. They actually feel some emotion with the person in the movie or show. Sometimes you can feel embarrassed when a TV character does something embarrassing. You feel sad when “Old Yeller” gets shot.
These History channel Nazi documentaries use the 3 elements, or in-puts to condition a negative emotional response to the Nazis. Nazi symbolism is equal to stacks of naked dead people that the Nazis apparently decided to keep around (and pay for) until they were very malnourished and then exterminated.
Using these methods, you can make any group you want be the ultimate picture of evil. You can also do the exact opposite and portray people as virtuous heroes and beings of wisdom (see: civil rights documentaries/mythology).
SO WHY IS THIS INFORMATION BEING PRODUCED???
We know that there have been regimes that killed more people. During the cold war, America never made documentaries about the Soviets as “horror-movie-hardcore” as they do about the Nazis. Liberals and Respectable Conservatives will say this is necessary because “we must never allow it to happen again.” But why not with the Soviets? We don’t have efforts to battle campus Communism because it may lead to the massacre of 7 million Ukrainians. Today, even with the Muslims, we don’t create such intense propaganda. And this is during a war?
In Europe, it’s actually illegal to “approve” of the Nazis in some countries. You can be arrested for disagreeing about historical events. The Nazi veterans are the only veterans of WWII who aren’t allowed to tell their stories. They aren’t allowed to have a discourse regarding the event. They can’t say “this is why we believed in this, and this is why we fought.” NOPE. These guys have to just sit there and keep their mouths shut. NO discussion what so ever. If a Nazi speaks, he must grovel. The millions of people that fought for the 3rd Reich are enemies of humanity and there will be NO FURTHUR DISCUSSION DAMN IT….AND IF YOU DO, WE”LL THROW YOU IN JAIL!
These History channel mythologies (they call “documentaries”) are clear examples of war propaganda. Why would they make war propaganda when the war has been over for 65 years? It’s almost like these people still think the war is going on?

“It’s almost like these people still think the war is going on?”
And also like they need to keep increasing the dosage to have the same effect.
