The Real Deniers

Those of us who realize that global warming is a global hoax of monumental and disastrous proportions tend to react with fury when accused by the likes of Al Gore and Bob Beckel of being "deniers".  Here's why:

If you want to make yourself aware of how many liars and haters there are,and how alive anti-Semitism still is, comment on a Holocaust video on YouTube.  The Holocaust is the most lavishly documented crime in world history, and yet some idiot named Gary Freeman claims that there is not one document (not ONE) that proves it.  He and another idiot calling himself St George's Flag claimed that there were more Jews in Europe at the end of the war than at the beginning.  The former claimed that there were only 5 million Jews in Europe at the start of the war.  That's interesting, because at the Wannsee Conference where the Nazi hierarchy planned the co-ordinated actions necessary to implement the Final Solution to the Jewish Question, Reinhard Heydrich's presentation put the number of Jews in Europe at 11 million.

It is also worth mentioning that Rudolf Hoess testified that during his tenure at Auschwitz, at least 1.1 million people, mainly Jews, were "exterminated" there.  (His testimony at the Trial of the Major War Criminals at Nuremberg claimed that the toll was 2.5 million.)  There was actually little need for the prosecution to cross-examine Commandant Hoess, as he testified so freely in his role as defense witness that he left very little to inquire about save for small details.

It is also worth noting that in his sworn testimony, SS Security Service chief Otto Ohlendorf testified that during his time at the head of Einsatzgruppe D, his command killed 90,000 people, mainly Jews and communists.  Presumably Freeman and "Flag" assert that he hallucinated his actions during that time?

It is grimly amusing to me that many of the Nazi participants in the Holocaust were more honest at their trials than the Holocaust deniers are about those years today.

It's tempting to just write off people like Freeman and Flag as idiots (and they are), but idiots in large numbers can be deadly.  Every genocidal crime in human history bears ghastly testimony to that.

Idiots can also have advanced degrees, as possessed by a surprising number of Nazi upper-level functionaries.  Hans Frank, Albert Speer, Hjalmar Schacht, Josef Mengele, Ohlendorf himself -- these were not ill-educated men.  The possession of an advanced degree tells nothing of a person's character.

These are points to ponder for everyone.  In the meantime, boys, zip your jackets -- your swastikas are showing.
