I left Berlin for the first time since arriving there this weekend, and it turns out that life outside of the metropolis is actually a lot of fun, at least when you have a similarly nerdy host.

Dresden was the second place ever to be kicked off of the UNESCO World Heritage list. Why? Because it built a bridge. You may interpret the presence of the Frauenkirche in this photograph as you see fit.

We caught a glimpse of the 16th annual Dresden Stollenfest, proving that even on the spot where 6865 corpses were once burned, you can celebrate converting to Protestantism and being allowed to use as much butter in your cake as you want.

It was easier to get a picture of this than of the 3-ton cake, because that was mobbed.

We drank some beer.

"Wilder Mann-- Wenn's mal schnell gehen muss."

We went to a city history museum where we spotted things we shouldn’t have spotted. I realize that David Irving’s books aren’t exactly banned in Germany, but I thought they were always heavily contextualized, rather than allowed to sit innocuously on a shelf.

You convince them you're a serious historian before you start denying the Holocaust.

On Sunday, we fulfilled a life-long dream of mine and went to the Karl May Museum, about which an entire post or seven later, but for now, a teaser picture of a very happy Lauren. And now that I have a friend in Dresden who is just as nerdy as I am, I’ll have to make my way back for the Karl May Fest in May.

Chilling with Old Shatterhand.

Uprising-the hungarian revolution 1956

Goering-a biography

No he podido prestar la debida atención a éste blog así que ofrezco formalmente una disculpa a los lectores por los posts a los que no he podido dar seguimiento ni continuación como ocurrió sobre mi artículo acerca de la alianza entre los nazis y las organizaciones sionistas de Europa durante el auge del Tercer Reich. Hace unos días, al visitar la página del polémico historiador David Irving me encontré con la noticia de que la página había sido atacada y destruida por “los enemigos de la libre expresión“.

Es de esperarse que, en nombre del “antifascismo” y el “mundo democrático” algunos grupos se dejan financiar por organizaciones sionistas para eliminar a uno de sus enemigos más reconocidos a nivel mundial. David Irving es aquel prestigioso historiador cuya carrera comenzó a correr peligro cuando escribió un libro acerca de Adolf Hitler basado completamente en fuentes de primera mano y documentos originales de la época (algo que pocos historiadores han hecho) y descubrió algo que, en sus tiempos, le resultó desconcertante y es el hecho de que no existía ni un sólo documento que vinculara a Hitler con el Holocausto, no existe orden firmada por Hitler para el exterminio sistemático de los judíos europeos, existen unas órdenes  para la ejecución de prisioneros de guerra soviéticos de raza judía (la mayoría de los bolcheviques eran judíos) e incluso existen órdenes de Hitler pidiendo que no se mate a personas de raza judía que llegaban a los campos de concentración cuando éstos ya había muchos prisioneros.

Todo ésto, lo llevó a escribirle una carta a uno de los historiadores académicos mas reconocidos y objetivos de aquella época: El doctor Raul Hilberg la cual reproduzco a continuación:

5th December 1975

Dear Sir,

I am an English historian and have completed a lengthy biography on Adolf Hitler based entirely on primary documentary sources. In connection with the final solution of the Jewish question I have run up a monumental difficulty, however, and I wonder if you with your expert knowledge can provide me with the evidence that I am seeking: is there any acceptable evidence linking Hitler himself with the order to exterminate European Jews? (There is such evidence linking him with the killing of Russian Jews and with the deportation of the European Jews to the East.)

The extraordinary thing is that after ten years reading the entire German records available I have found no such evidence, but only evidence to the contrary.

As my book is to be published by Viking Press and other publishers in a year’s time, I would be grateful if – since shortly the book goes to press – you could provide me with any assistance on this matter.

Yours faithfully,
David Irving

La respuesta del Dr. Hilberg no se hizo esperar:

December 12, 1975

Mr. David Irving
81 Duke Street
London W.1
England

Dear Mr. Irving:

The question you raise has troubled me for a number of years, more so recently than before. About fifteen years ago, in a passage dealing with the famous Göring letter to Heydrich of July 31, 1941, I indicated that the order, while signed by Göring, was given by Hitler. Now I wish I had not put things in such definite terms. Even then I really meant to say “must have been given” by Hitler, but I had no direct evidence at that time nor do I have such proof at this late date to permit the flat assertion that Hitler originated the “final solution” through this letter.

You have probably studied the work of Uwe Dietrich Adam, Judenpolitik im Dritten Reich. Clearly he feels that the Göring letter was not an instruction to inaugurate the “final solution” as we now understand the term. To Adam the “final solution” was an expandable concept. If we accept that notion for a minute, we can even suppose that no single order for the total annihilation of European Jewry was ever given by anyone, including Adolf Hitler himself. Personally, I can no longer dismiss this thought completely.

My reasoning years ago was that Hitler, totally preoccupied with the Eastern front in the summer of 1941, would not in any case have written a directive (such as in the case of the euthanasia program), but that he probably told Göring to take care of the matter with the result that the aforementioned letter was written. I did not think (and still do not) that Hitler would have given a written letter to Göring and I therefore do not believe that such a paper will ever be found.

Adam, of course, raises the more profound question of whether there was ever a Hitler order, oral or written. It is true that in Jewish matters Hitler decisions turn up as often in vetoes (the Jewish star, the race pollution case against Katzenberger and Seiler and perhaps the proposed transport of Jews from Germany in August, 1941) as they do in positive instructions for action. Possibly, the destruction of the Jews was so drastic that it could only have occurred in an organic, evolutionary process, from vagueness to specificity, and in a very real administrative sense, from the bottom up.

I realize that this answer to your question is very frustrating but inasmuch as I do not have decisive documents, I thought that I should at least give you my indecisive thoughts.

I will be looking forward to your book.

Sincerely,

Raul Hilberg

RH/ha

Como se pueden notar, incluso Raul Hilberg, quien fue considerado por muchos como uno de los historiadores del Holocausto más objetivos, admite que no existió jamás dicha orden, lo curioso del caso es que en su libro The destruction of european jews con el que ganó prestigio y reputación afirma que existieron dos órdenes de Hitler para el exterminio de los judíos, una ordenando su eliminación a sangre fría en los guettos y la otra para su exterminio en campos de concentración, el problema fue que dichas órdenes fueron producto de su fantasía (por no decir mentira suya) y ello quedó al descubierto en los juicios contra Ernst Zündel en la década de los 80’s cómo lo comenta el Prof. Robert Faurisson en el siguiente vídeo:

Durante el transcurso de su carrera, Hilberg se caracterizó por su oposición al sionismo y a las leyes que proscribían al revisionismo del Holocausto como un delito, lo más destacable fue su postura con respecto al Holocausto siendo él uno de los máximos expositores de la corriente Funcionalista que sostiene que el Holocausto “no fue algo planeado” sino que fue algo que “solo se dio” a diferencia de la intencionalista que sostiene que el Holocausto “fue algo planeado”.

Al respecto, Robert Faurisson opinó durante su discurso titulado Las victorias del revisionismo durante la Conferencia sobre el Holocausto en Teherán:

Hay que notar que a la manera de R. Hilberg, los historiadores oficiales, en los años 1980-1990, se ponen a abandonar la historia y a caer en la metafísica y la jerga. Se interrogan sobre el punto de saber si sería preciso ser “intencionalista” o “funcionalista”: ¿Debería suponerse que el exterminio de los judíos se produjo como consecuencia de una “intención” (no probada todavía) o según un plan concertado (todavía no encontrado) o bien este exterminio se produjo por sí mismo, espontáneamente y con improvisación, sin intención formal y sin ningún plan? Este tipo de controversia confusa da testimonio del desconcierto de historiadores que, incapaces de proveerse de pruebas y documentos en apoyo de sus tesis, se reducen a teorizar en el vacío. En el fondo, unos, los “intencionalistas”, nos dicen: “Ha tenido que haber necesariamente una intención y un plan que nosotros todavía no hemos encontrado pero que acaso descubriremos un día”, mientras que los otros nos afirman: “No hay necesidad de rebuscar las pruebas de una intención y de un plan porque todo ha podido pasar sin intención, sin plan y sin dejar huellas; tales huellas son inencontrables porque no han existido jamás”.

Para no desviarme del tema, dejo a criterio del lector lo referente a la polémica del revisionismo vs negacionismo y funcionalismo vs intencionalismo.

Continuaré mencionando que David Irving sostenía la tesis de que Hitler desconocía sobre el Holocausto y que fueron Himmler y otros jerarcas nazis los responsables directos de la tragedia ocurrida en campos de concentración, en su más reciente entrevista para el periódico El Mundo, David Irving ejemplifica su postura mencionando la anécdota de Karl Wolff y Himmler cuando Wolff le pregunta a Himmler “¿Qué te pasa?” y Himmler respondió “Estoy haciendo algo que el mesías de los próximos 2000 años nunca sabrá” obviamente se refería a Hitler.

Irving demuestra su curiosidad e intriga planteando la siguiente reflexión:

La pregunta clave es cuánto sabía Hitler de lo que hacían Himmler y las SS. Y la respuesta es que Himmler era muy cuidadoso de no decirle nada.

A lo largo del tiempo, Irving a cambiado sus posturas, las ha radicalizado y las ha suavizado, hoy en día no muestra mucho interés acerca del Holocausto sus investigaciones nos han traido joyas valiosas como los diarios de Joseph Goebbels y las memorias ocultas de Adolf Eichmann. Irving sostiene que los nazis mataron millones de judíos durante la guerra pero que ésto no es una tragedia por el hecho de que las víctimas hayan sido judías, sino por que eran judíos inocentes. Irving afirma que la razón por la que aún es atacado y odiadio es por que el sionismo financiero-mediático no le ha podido vender la idea de los seis millones que es ampliamente aceptada sin fundamento alguno por los historiadores ortodoxos. Irving ha estado en prisión y ha sido presionado, amenazado y atacado a lo largo de su carrera desde la publicación de su polémica joya literaria La guerra de Hitler, atacado y odiado por ser de la gran corriente de personas con sentido común que sostenemos que el Holocausto ha sido utilizado y explotado con fines políticos y económicos por parte del sionismo y las potencias occidentales y es triste ver cómo la intolerancia y el terrorismo por parte de organizaciones que se dicen “antifascistas” e incluso sionistas pasan absolutamente desapercibidas por la “democracia” occidental.

Ésta semana, cuando la página de David Irving (Focal Point Publications) se encontraba en reconstrucción y se estaban subiendo de nuevo los contenidos, ha habido otra ataque contra su derecho a pensar, opinar diferente y expresar sus ideas. Hoy me encuentro con un “aviso” impuesto por la organización “antifascista” que atacó y destruyó el contenido de las páginas web donde, de manera sin vergüenza e irresponsable publica las contraseñas y las cuentas de dicha página, así como los e-mails privados de David Irving con otras personas y la lista de asistentes a una de sus próximas conferencias en Estados Unidos.

El aviso, bastante extenso, comienza de la siguiente manera:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 13, 2009

Anti-Fascist Hackers Destroy Holocaust Denier David Irving’s Website and Release
Private Emails, Attendee Lists

Hitler-loving Holocaust-denying David Irving’s speaking tour is being attacked
on the streets and on the internet as he makes his way to speak on Saturday in
New York City. We have released private email communications, phone numbers and
addresses of Irving as well as destroy all files, backups, emails, and databases
on his website irvingbooks.com and fpp.co.uk. We also released personal
information on people who have attended the speaking tour, made book purchases,
or online donations as a warning to those who would support people like David
Irving.

We did this to expose this Nazi-sympathizer for who he is and to shut
down/disrupt any possibility of Irving rearing his fascist head in public during
his tour. To David Irving and all aspiring white-power, anti-immigrant,
queer-bashing, racist pigs – give it up! We will fight you on the streets and on
the internet until you are swept into the dustbin of history.

Survivors in New York enraged by Holocaust-denier’s tour

2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

De manera desagradable detruye una valiosa fuente de información y recomienda leer artículos de importantes órganos del sionismo mediático como lo es el Jerusalem Post o el Jewish Magazine y expone las conversaciones violando flagrantemente la privacidad de cientos de personas alrededor del mundo ¿cómo se pueden llamar así mismos antifascistas? simplemente son criminales que no toleran a las personas que piensan diferente o que no se tragan dogmas oficiales establecidos por el stablishment para perjuicio de los pueblos libres. Cabe aclarar que pese a ello, varios enlaces a contenido de la página se encuentran aún disponibles, así que estaré pendiente sobre lo que acontesca los siguientes días.

In 1919, a famous case was brought against a man, Charles Schenck, in the United States. The case, farcically titled: ‘Schenck V. United States‘, came about as a result of the Defendant’s actions in distributing leaflets (in Yiddish, no less) attacking the draft in the 15,000 documents he printed – to persons either eligible for the draft or – get this – also opposed to the draft.

Anyone worth his salt has at least perused the history of the First World War, the unnecessary slaughter of some 40 million due to some inbred monarchical quibbling (the Kaiser and King George were first cousins – grandsons of Queen Victoria) It may not be said, after all, that there was some kind of nobility of justification for the war. With no Nazis or Holocaust on which to retrospectively rely when the necessity of the war was called into question, it remains an uncharged disgrace – the product of imperialist jingoism. It was unwarranted and thus contemptible. To have forced draft young men (having guilted them with propaganda and Uncle Sam’s accusatory finger in the States) is callous beyond belief. It is a war crime.

Anyway, so Schenck is hauled before the court and charged with violating the Espionage Act of 1917. Where Schenck argued that the draft was ostensibly tantamount to slavery, the court countered by alluding (he was not charged with treason) that he was a spy. In his preposterous, unreasoned and unsound judgement, the famous (infamous?) Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes Jnr. speculated that Schenck’s crime had exempted itself from the protection of the First Amendment. Holmes posited that he could not be exculpated using the old ‘freedom of speech’ chestnut because, as he now infamously suggested, it was equivalent ‘to shouting “fire” in a crowded theatre’. Schenck posed a ‘clear and present danger’ (the source of the famous expression) that would precipitate ’substantive evils’ – he was sentenced to 6 months in prison and found dead shortly thereafter.

In 2005, David Irving, the controversial historian, was apprehended and sentenced to 3 years in solitary confinement for violation of the Austrian Verbotsgesetz law committed 16 years prior, in 1989. The Law’s specifics are ambiguous, it being an over-reactionary Stalinist-era piece of legislation – but essentially denying or diminishing the Holocaust (capital h?) is against the law. This is reminiscent of the German law, Volksverhetzung, where ’stirring up the populace’ is prohibited. Perhaps something is lost in translation. In 1992, Irving was convicted of this crime also – principally due to his ‘denial’ of the Holocaust.

Now I have just read an excellent book called ‘History, Justice and the David Irving Libel Case’ by D.D. Guttenplan wherein he gives an account of the libel action brought by Irving on an American historian, Deborah Lipstadt – for labelling him a ‘Holocaust denier’ in her book ‘Denying the Holocaust‘. In the case, Irving forced Penguin (the Defendant – against the Claimant – not Plaintiff, a relic of old English law) to essentially prove or establish the literal veracity of the Holocaust (or really parts of it, as it was claimed that Irving had denied the Holocaust in his published works) Now I have not read Irving’s work, but from the transcript of the case, the term ‘Holocaust-denier’ is not one I would attribute to Irving. Anyway, I’m not defending Irving’s very controversial stance on history. The fact is that, for questioning, for example, the numbers involved in the Holocaust (or Auschwitz-Birkenau, Majdanek etc) or questioning eye-witness testimony, or indeed Irving’s attempt to make Himmler, not Hitler as its sole architect – one can be thrown into prison.

Let me illustrate my point: If I were to wander around Grafton Street with a megaphone, and with ‘The Famine Never Happened’ or ‘The Famine Was Grossly Exaggerated’ emblazoned across a cardboard sign I was wearing, I would be heckled, ridiculed (like those religious fellows) or even assaulted. However, I would be allowed to express my revisionist view, despite its insensitivity to a probable majority. Notwithstanding the populace’s understandable objections, I retain the right to express my opinion. I revel in it. Hopefully, unlike the evidently featherweight U.S. constitution, Ireland’s courts will have the balls to stick to their guns should the occasion ask it of them.

Finally, I would just like to express my disgust at what I’m going to call ‘ecclesiatical-correctness’. Once again, as with a plethora of other issues, it is the Muslims who are at fault and are the bullseye in my metaphorical idealistic dartboard once again. When, in 1988, Salman Rushdie published his (from what I hear) literary masterpiece: the Satanic Verses, the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini of Iran (of whose literacy I am gravely skeptical), who claims to be a ‘Shi’a scholar’, issued a ‘fatwa’: a grotesque, antediluvian death-order. Now before I continue, I have researched the matter and yes, it is rare that the word ‘fatwa’ carries this meaning, but in this instance it most certainly DID. Thus began a murderous campaign that resulted in the death of the Japanese Publisher, Hitoshi Igarashi (stabbed multiple times) and three other foreign-language interpreters or publishers were stabbed repeatedly, but lived – just about. On the whim of a demagogue, a rabble, half-a-billion strong, was roused. If the common-sense view that fanaticism is correlated with lack of education is taken, it follows that the vast, vast majority of these ‘people’ were illiterate and could not possibly have understood/interpreted the book itself. It was based entirely on the supposition that the Ayatollah was the moral dictator (a man whose father lowered the marriage age to 9 years old)

in 2004, Danish cartoonists drew several hilarious strips depicting the prophet Mohammed in various hilarious situations (including the one about heaven running out of virgins) that I’m sure were the subject of hilarity to all those who read them. Except the barbarous cretins (the same is true of all religious people who believe in proselytism) who called for the death of the publishers as well as a kind of Danish Kristallnacht. This sordid behaviour was met with outrageous moral ambivalence. The mainstream media lamented the lack of sensitivity, and indeed, went as far as implying Rushdie was deserving of this Bronze-Age Muslim attack, being a Muslim himself.

An islamic troll/mullah in Pakistan offered $1,000,000 as a reward for the cartoonist’s head. Do you think this incitement to murder will be/was punished? Think again. It is incidents like these that cause the word ‘Muslim’ to be regarded as pejorative. That an obscure Danish magazine – expressing free speech, no less – could cause the muslim community to attack all things Danish with such acharnement beggars belief. It testifies to the Islamic contempt for free speech and deviation from the direct word of an illiterate Arabic merchant.

So, in closing, I believe that freedom of speech is all-to-often taken for granted. Those miscreants who oppose freedom of expression should be extirpated from social discourse, if not shunned from society all together. The allusion should not be wasted on you! Without seeming to state the obvious, remember that in the aforementioned cases, as recently as 2005, legislation exists that forbids free expression. This must stop.

Don’t know how I missed this: David Irving’s emails hacked and posted on Wikileaks.

What is it with far right nutters and a total inability to protect their data?

Anti-fascist hackers have got access to the Holocaust denying ‘historian’ David Irving’s emails and posted his email archives and customer list along with a list of attendees for three of his planned meetings in the US.

Many of the details listed are of the usual suspects, the small number of people who still have time for a sad failed historian like veteran Holocaust denier Michelle Renouf and fascist printer Tony Hancock, though there is one email address of particular interest:

specialprojects@bnp.org.uk

Whose email address is this? No less a person than the next MP for Barking Richard Barnbrook!

Now how did a nice guy like that end up in David Irving’s contact database? I can’t think what they would have to talk about.

Meanwhile David Irving remains defiant and Focal Point Publications now displays the following message:

APOLOGIES for our absence! The traditional enemies destroyed our websites on November 13th, costing us thousands of dollars.

But they did not silence us! David Irving’s US speaking tour has gone ahead as planned, despite this brief interruption. Still left: Niagara Falls, Indianapolis, Chicago: ASK FOR DETAILS

As you can see, we’re now back online with improved security. Please be patient as we work on putting the main website back together. By the way: we can assure you that no credit card information was compromised in the attack.

Any guesses as to who David Irving considers his ‘traditional enemies’ to be? Unfortunately the section on his website listing his ‘traditional enemies’ is currently down due to a technical problem.

Anyway, as Irving says, apart from this brief interruption the tour has been going well so far.

Update 1: [Thanks to entdinglichung for this wonderful piece from SPLC] Neo-fascists fall out, or how Irving upset his Stormfront groupie, read more at SPLC’s blog.

Two websites belonging to the controversial Second World War historian David Irving have been targeted by anti-fascist protesters (i.e. fascists), who also released the names and contact details of his supporters via wikileaks:

http://wikileaks.org/leak/david-irving-emails-2009.txt

“We have released private email communications, phone numbers and addresses of Irving as well as destroy all files, backups, emails, and databases on his website irvingbooks.com and fpp.co.uk. We also released personal information on people who have attended the speaking tour, made book purchases, or online donations as a warning to those who would support people like David Irving.

To David Irving and all aspiring white-power, anti-immigrant, queer-bashing, racist pigs – give it up! We will fight you on the streets and on the internet until you are swept into the dustbin of history.”

Irving, who’s seen by many as an anti-Semitic, Holocaust denying, Nazi sympathiser, spent most of 2006 in an Austrian gaol after receiving a conviction for glorifying and identifying with Nazism. Together with leaking the passwords for his email and web server accounts, the anti-fascist cyber attackers also added offensive content to his websites. Hmmm. And they’ve achieved what exactly? Other than giving him a load of free publicity, that is . . . .

NYC Humiliates Irving for the Second Day in a Row

Once we were alerted to the whereabouts of Irving’s talk, hilariously booked at the Times Square Doubletree Hotel as “The Real History Conference,” we activated our network of shadowy agents. A little reconnaissance goes a long way, and we quickly found the best route onto the sixth floor of the hotel. Once there, thirty pissed off anti-fascists rushed the door. Of course Irving and his protectors quickly closed and dead-bolted themselves inside, stranding both his personal assistant, Jaenelle Antas, as well as self-described “next Hitler” Alex Carmichael.

David Irving’s fall 2009 east coast tour should have simply been called diarrhea, because his shit’s not too solid. After being shut down in New Jersey, we New Yorkers really felt the pressure to give the holocaust revisionist and Hitler apologist an event to remember.

Thanks to the efforts of a few local community groups and an incredible turnout by concerned citizens, it’s fair to say David Irving will never forget November 14th, 2009. Just one day prior, all three of Irving’s website’s were hacked, providing us hours of late night entertainment in the form of leaked documents, e-mail addresses, and personal information about the human sewage drawn to him. You can review the hacked site here at your leisure. With his databases accessible now not only to Irving, but to the world, we presumed his security would be greatly heightened. That just goes to show what happens when you try to give an idiot too much credit.

Admittedly, we were a little late to the dance, but once we were alerted to the whereabouts of Irving’s talk, hilariously booked at the Times Square Doubletree Hotel as “The Real History Conference,” we activated our network of shadowy agents. A little reconnaissance goes a long way, and we quickly found the best route onto the sixth floor of the hotel. Once there, thirty pissed off anti-fascists rushed the door. Of course Irving and his protectors quickly closed and dead-bolted themselves inside, stranding both his personal assistant, Jaenelle Antas, as well as self-described “next Hitler” Alex Carmichael. For those not familiar with Carmichael, he is a New Jersey neo-Nazi leader, head of League of American Patriots. Only one night before, when he and two other of his “master race” were in the men’s room with a single anti-fascist, he called the cops instead of confronting the lone antifa. What a bastion of Aryan courage. From what we understand, Antas and Carmichael their food spicy, and relished the pepper spray they found in their mouths (do Nazi’s eyes have taste buds, because some of it apparently got in there as well).

An empty hallway makes for great acoustics, and our chanting crowd clearly rattled not only the doors and walls, but also the attendees inside. At the behest of the stranded Nazis, hotel security rushed in and tried to physically remove us from the area. Naturally, we protected ourselves and each other, finding our way down the stairs and out the fire exit onto Broadway. As we exited, chaos prevailed. There were tourists and cops and waiting comrades and hotel security and a lone bald neo-Nazi, all trying to make out what was going on in the middle of Times Square. This provided the perfect opportunity to make nearby pedestrians aware of the vile and pathetic meeting that was happening in the heart of NYC. Hotel security tried to get slick and point a few of us out to the cops, but this wasn’t our first trip to the rodeo. We have eyes in the backs of our heads, even if they aren’t directly connected. Those targeted made a quick escape and those who could made their way back inside to further disrupt Irving’s lecture.

After the second group of committed and militant anti-fascists made it clear that they were not leaving, repeatedly making it back upstairs, hotel management met with the NYPD in an attempt to find a way to safely get Irving out of the building after the event. Their eventual success came only after Irving suffered his third embarrassment in two days, having been roundly shaken and disrupted in both New Jersey and NYC, as well as having his websites hacked.

Later that night, the two NYPD sentries posted outside the Times Square Doubletree left, and our folks soon followed. We succeeded in our mission and will dog David Irving and every other holocaust denier and revisionist, Hitler apologist, and Nazi goon whenever they try to organize in New York City.

Irving’s woes are only building. Our friends in New Haven report that on Sunday night, Irving completely canceled his talk due to his perceived threat of an “anti-fascist riot.” Surely he just couldn’t face the prospects of another day of having “Real History” destroyed by Real Antifa.

Some Friendly NYC Antifa

Every now and again, normally after I have posted something on David Irving my blog gets a boost, an unwelcome leap in posters.

These posters, like Michael Santomauro, are either neo-Nazis, Hitler lovers or their mates, and wrongly they assume that they should be allowed to spout their racialist filth all and every where. They never trouble to read my comment policy or understand the fact that I positively loath these Jew hating fascist scum.

So just in case, Michael Santomauro, did not get my message before, I’ll make it clearer:

Feck off friends of David Irving, you are not welcome here.

You’ve got to like em!

New Yorkers Against David Irving have managed to block part of his speaking tour in New York City, Infoshop news has more:

“Irving was scheduled to speak on November 14th at the Catholic Kolping Society at 165 East 88th Street. Along with several concerned citizens and citizen’s groups, New Yorkers Against David Irving made calls to the venue, explaining who David Irving is and why he was hiding behind a fictitious name in order to reserve space at their facility. Further, they demanded that the event be canceled.

New Yorkers Against David Irving firmly believes that Holocaust revisionists and deniers and neo-Nazi sympathizers have no place in NYC – or anywhere else for that matter! We will always take action to ensure our city stays clean from the likes of David Irving and other fascist scum.”

(H/T: Entdinglichung )

Update 1: New Jersey Residents Against David Irving (NJ-RADI) managed to do the same, great!

Update 2: A few neo-nazis want to gloat about Irving in the comments box, I would refer them to my post.

By New Yorkers Against David Irving

David Irving is a notorious pro-Nazi history writer. He has made repeated anti-Semitic, Holocaust Denial and racist statements over the years, including that “no document whatsoever indicating the Holocaust occurred” has been found, and “the holocaust of the Germans of Dresden was real. The holocaust of the Jews in the Auschwitz gas chambers is a fabrication.” Although he has retreated from some of these statements, Irving has continued to blame Jews for what the Nazis did to them; he attempts to minimize the scope of the Holocaust; and he publicly praises Adolf Hitler.

 

DAVID IRVING IS NOT WELCOME!

New Yorkers Against David Irving call for resistance to the speaking engagements of pseudo-historian David Irving’s east coast tour, including his November 14th date in New York City.

David Irving is a notorious pro-Nazi history writer. He has made repeated anti-Semitic, Holocaust Denial and racist statements over the years, including that “no document whatsoever indicating the Holocaust occurred” has been found, and “the holocaust of the Germans of Dresden was real. The holocaust of the Jews in the Auschwitz gas chambers is a fabrication.” Although he has retreated from some of these statements, Irving has continued to blame Jews for what the Nazis did to them; he attempts to minimize the scope of the Holocaust; and he publicly praises Adolf Hitler.

Irving’s fascist views go back to at least 1959. He has been associated with neo-Nazi, anti-Semitic and Holocaust Denial organizations such as the National Alliance, the Liberty Lobby, and the Institute for Historical Review. In 2006 he was jailed for trivializing the Holocaust in Austria, where it is illegal. Since his release, Irving has marketed himself as a former “political prisoner”.

As the name of his publishing project suggests, Irving serves as a “focal point” to bring together Jew-haters and goose-steppers. He is part of a political tendency that actively organizes to tear apart communities, and particularly to persecute Jews. The June murder of a security guard at the US Holocaust Museum by James von Brunn shows where this racist and anti-Semitic tendency often leads. Van Brunn moved in many of the same circles that promote Irving’s work.

We call for people to confront Irving at each stop of his tour. In July, one quarter of his west coast dates were met by protests. We encourage the communities which Irving is passing through to send a clear message that fascist organizing is not welcome in their town! Please join us in doing this in New York City.

Planning meeting:
Wednesday Nov 11, 7pm: Contact us for details if you would like to attend:

Confront David Irving on Saturday, November 14, 5:30 pm:
Meet up outside ABC No Rio (156 Rivington Street, between Suffolk and Clinton Streets, Lower East Side)
F/J/M/Z to Delancey.

Bogus Pundits of Hate
We all depend on experts. So it was particularly
devious when the strategy evolved to create Bogus
Pundits for anti-semitic cause. The first one I
encountered was Len Martin. Quite often the Jews
haters in forums touted the book “In Racist Marxist
Israel”. Now I knew Israel was far from marxist.
The thriving socialism was giving way to
entrprenurial capitalism. Racism? Jews were of many
races. It fit the real world like the term
aparthied. So something was fishy besides the name
of the author, Jack Bernstein. Googling easily
provided an answer. One Googled source said there
was no Jack Bernstein and that the author was
Leonard Martin. And he was a white supremacist.
Aha! I thought. Sure enough more googling showed
the subtext  “By Jack Bernstein as told to Leonard
Martin” Hilarious as I forum posts advocating Jack
Bernstein’s views. Martin had never been to Israel.
His popularity depended on the ignorance of
readers. And there we have the strategy of Bogus
Pundits of hate they can only go as far as hate of
themselves, the sympathetic hateful world of fans
who needed a hate fix, the naivete readers and the
silence of discriminating internet perusers. Many
bogus pundits are from the past. Notorious Jew
haters like Arnold Spencer Leese, Douglass Reed,
Alfred Lillenthial, and Benjamin Freedman. What
delights these bigots is a Jew denouncing his own
people. They LOVE Torquemadas. It really gives them
the giggles. You see they love to hate, It makes
them think theyre significant and gives them a
punching nag to relieve your bewildering puzzle
called life they really dont understand. Now some
of these were and are self loathing Jews like Gilad
Atzmion And maybe Lillienthial. We dont know much
about Benjamin Freedman. He was a Nazi sympathizer
in the 1930s. He was a anti-semitic Catholic who
claimed he coverted. Maybe that why he was a
Freedman rather than the Jewish “Friedman”. Henry
Makow claims he Jewish but in writing to him  al he
knows his crackpot theories about the Illuminati he
invents. Alfred Lillenthial may be gone but for a
long time while incapacitated in the hospital many
works came out with his name. An Israeli
Anti-Zionist Israel Shahak died in 2002 but for
many years tracts came out in his name that were
obviously not written by him, Jews wouldnt write
tracts supported Blood Libel or the Protocols of
Zion. You see he was Anti-Zionist not Anti-Jewish,
But White supremacist writers took his name as far
as possible.
Then there’s David Irving whose identical twin brother considers him a wackjob. Irving rotates from Holocaust Revisionist to Holocaust denial more out of  the strategy of confusion that any indecision
The best bogus pundit in my book is Israel Shamir.
He posted in forums as an Israeli for years. Then
one day he wrote he converted to Christianity AND
RE-CHRISTENED himself as Adam Shamir. WTF?? About
the same time it was revealed in London  that
Israel Shamir was a Swedish white supremacist Joran
Jermas. And he sunk out of sight! Today he has
remerged  with his own Yahoo group. He controls
posts as not to let anyone  reveal his deception to
newbies.
Many of these bogus pundits have a hard time
speaking in Europe or America. David Irving flips
from Holocaust denial to revisionism all the time.
Germar and Zundel are in jail in Germany because
they forgot that when you deny the Jewish part of
the Holocaust you ALSO DENY the Gentile part thats
5 million dead dear departed. That part amuses me.
You have internet pychos like Rev. Ted Pike who is
not a reverend and Texe Mars here in America, They
are old fashioned Christian fundamentalist Jew
Haters. When these guys speak I say Dont Boo
Them!! Dont Block Them. Debate them  which leads to
Humiliation. They deserve that, We deserve to see
that.

Another month, another group of links.

First off, in Greece, the major left party, the Socialists have come to power and immediately set their sights on the anarchists. If history has shown us anything, it has shown us that the left wing of capital will come at us just as ruthlessly as the right, given the opportunity. This is what is now happening in Athens.

In Iowa, the FBI served Carrie Feldman with a grand jury subpoena, most likely pertaining to the 2004 Animal Liberation Front action at the University of Iowa. Carrie read a statement, refusing to cooperate.

Also, in Iowa, this time in Des Moines, antisemitic, Nazi apologist “historian” David Irving’s speaking tour was disrupted and delayed by antifascists.

One of the best books on the subject in a while, Michael Schmidt and Lucien van der Walt’s Black Flame: The Revolutionary Class Politics of Anarchism and Syndicalism is worth tracking down and reading. AK Press held an interview with the authors, which will give you a overall feeling for the book.

Protesting job cuts and layoffs by the government, Puerto Rican unions called for a 24 hour general strike. It was a hot topic on the blogs and Twitter, and although their demands aren’t met, there is talk of additional action. The socialists, although tiny in numbers, are advocating for an indefinite general strike.

An article advocating platformist organization, especifismo tactics, and rejection of vanguardist models appeared on Anarchist Writers. Written by jacobian, who, if you’re a Libcom nerd, will have argued or discussed things with before.

One of the shitty things about being an anarchist and not knowing Spanish, is that you can’t read the numerous things coming out of Spain and Latin America. Well, a comrade of mine has made a small contribution to fixing this by translating an FAI article on Hugo Chavez. Hopefully, there will be more to come, either from the comrade or other bilinguals.

From The Left Winger blog, comes an idea, while self-evident to me, is neglected, often. That is the idea of strategy and having an anarchist program.

Well that’s it for now.
