The Holocaust-advocacy camp is resorting to expensive, cutting-edge technology to flog the dead horse in novel ways. Flush, as always, with more tax-exempt money than it knows what to do with, the Shoah Foundation at the University of Southern California is partnering with what sounds like a purpose-built contractor, Conscience Display, to render in three…

Something about gas is . . . creepy. Often, you can't see it. Supposedly, you can't run from it (not so, but it can be hard to tell which way to run). If it "gets" you, it doesn't leave visible marks, whether it kills you or not (again, effectively not true, but particularly on survivors,…

If the Anti-Defamation League now celebrating its hundredth anniversary were true to its sweeping name, it would long since have joined Paul Rassinier, Arthur Butz, Robert Faurisson and a host of others in opposing the Calumny of the Century against Germans. Hundreds of its victims were, like Leo Frank of the famous case that launched…

Deborah Lipstadt and the host she leads have made it holy writ that anti-Semitism is the leading cause for “Holocaust Denial.” To people schooled in this concept, which is most of us, the idea that the process can proceed in the reverse sounds backwards. Is it possible then that the process of “Denial” (questioning?) can…

It seems that some revisionists are able to get the USHMM to revise their story – or, in this case, to defrock a former saint of theirs. This New York Times article reports USHMM's and other Holocaust shrines' actions in the evolving case of "Italy's Schindler," Giovanni Palatucci, heretofore enshrined for his wartime efforts in saving…

Yesterday's op ed by Daniel Ellsberg (of 1971 Pentagon Papers fame) provided a stunning retrospective on what Ellsberg calls the "different America" that dealt with him 40 years ago vis-a-vis the America that NSA Leaker Edward Snowden faces today for having committed "crimes" very similar to those committed by Ellsberg. The effect of the comparison…

This Holocaust revisionist has a confession to make, and it’s worse than anything to which Bradley Smith confessed in his best-selling (?) Confessions of a Holocaust Revisionist: I have become a grudging admirer of Deborah Lipstadt. Yes, the Deborah Lipstadt who in 2001 with the able assistance of her publisher Penguin-Putnam defended successfully against the…

The International Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists has put up 14 videos on their Web site to convey the talks given at their conference "Holocaust Denial and Freedom of Speech in the Internet Era" in Berlin last November. Most of the talks are aimed at suppressing both of the first-named items. While only two…

A professor at George Mason University is making waves with a "laboratory" course he has been teaching for a few years now in how historical mythology is created, with emphasis, of course, on present-day media and environments such as the Internet. This article in The Atlantic describes the course and its import very well. But…

The US Army hasn't conducted a concentration operation on US soil since 1942 (when it rounded up and incarcerated Japanese Americans), but the Army has recently put out a detailed manual for its operatives to follow when doing so again – on short notice, it would seem. Just supposing the technique could have some validity…
