Internet Roundup

Last month CODOHWeb was pleased to add yet another language to its ever expanding International page. Working through a friend of CODOH in Turkey, we received a complete text of Harun Yahya’s revisionist book, Holocaust Deception: The Secret History of the Nazi-Zionist Alliance and the Inside Story of the Jewish Holocaust Deception. Posting the entire text of this Turkish revisionist title ups our language count to thirteen. Bad luck for the enemies of revisionism!

After reviewing an English translation of Holocaust Deception provided by friends, we were impressed by the wealth of revisionist material presented by Yahya. Thanks to the marvels of modem technology and CODOHWeb, Yahya’s book is now available to readers of Turkish anywhere around the globe-particular along a great Turkic language swath that curves from Anatolian Turkey through Turkic populations in the Caucasus and Iran, across the large Turkic speaking populations of the former Soviet Central Asian republics, and thousands of miles east along the old Silk Road into Chinese Turkestan.

Yahya, a well-known author in Turkey, has published numerous books dealing primarily with Israel and the issues surrounding Zionism. His Holocaust Deception is the first major revisionist treatment of the Holocaust tale published in Turkey. Our Turkish informants credit it with beginning the challenge to the official history of the Holocaust story in Turkey. Thanks to its positive reception, there will soon be a second edition.

In a method similar to Roger Garaudy’s now celebrated Founding Myths of Israeli Politics, Yahya takes on all elements of Zionist theory and practice. The first section of Holocaust Deception, “The Untold Story of Nazi-Zionist cooperation,” lays out the sometimes overlapping ideological goals of the Nazis and Zionists, and details the substantial cooperation between them.

Yahya targets the Holocaust story with deadly accuracy in his book’s second chapter, “A Tale Called Holocaust and the Gas Chamber Myth,” employing a wealth of standard revisionist scholarship to debunk the traditional story. The final section of Holocaust Deception, “The Anti-Semitic Policy of the Israeli State” takes in the post-World War II period. Here the author examines the heavy-handed methods employed by the Israeli leadership to persuade Diaspora Jews to immigrate to the Holy Land.

CODOHWeb plans to post the entire English translation of Yahya’s book in the months to come. We are also told that an Arabic translation of Holocaust Deception is in the works, which CODOH has offered to post to our Arabic language page, once it is completed.

Clearly the outreach efforts of CODOHWeb have brought us new allies in places where just a few short years ago revisionists would never have dreamed of making contacts and forging friendships. Today no one can doubt that this struggle called revisionism is one of world-wide involvement and global significance.

History 101: Truth revealed at Western Washington University

In another example of the success of CODOH’s outreach programs on college campuses and on the Internet, a student at Western Washington University (WWU) has presented the case for revisionism on the World Wide Web.

WWU, located in Bellingham, Washington, is home to over 11,000 students. The majestic peak of Mt. Baker and the calm waters of Bellingham Bay can be seen to the east and west, respectively. Bellingham’s neighbors include Vancouver, Canada, 60 miles north and Seattle, Washington, 90 miles south.

From this beautiful setting, CODOH was contacted by Craig Scott, a journalism student at WWU. Scott was beginning work on a major on-line journalism project, topic: revisionism. Searching for information to formulate his thesis and to develop his Webpage, Scott located CODOH through the World Wide Web and contacted us through our Internet mailing address ([email protected]).

CODOHWebmaster David Thomas and I quickly explained the message, history, and concepts of revisionism to Scott. The aspiring young journalist also made contact with CODOH friends Greg Raven, of the Institute for Historical Review, and Lawrence Pauling, who runs the Student Revisionists’ Resource Site (see SR 51).

When the day came for Scott to launch his Website into cyberspace he emblazoned his page with the following headline:

History 101: Is it time the books stopped lying? Revisionists argue Holocaust is only one of dozens of historical events wrongly embellished by mass teachings.

Scott’s site includes: documentation of various attacks on revisionists, including the still unsolved firebombing of the IHR on July 4, 1984; quotes from revisionists (primarily from David Thomas and Richard Widmann); questions about revisionism; part of an on-line “debate” between the IHR and the anti-revisionist Website run by Nizkor; and links to prominent Holocaust revisionist Websites—including CODOHWeb.

Surely ruffling the feathers of the self-appointed and self-chosen censors and definers of “Holocaust revisionism” is Scott’s page dedicated to answering the question, “What is revisionism?” On this page Scott presents quotes from various Internet revisionists. CODOH’s David Thomas remarks on an intellectual and emotional process common to many new revisionists: “Once you start down the road of taking a look, your initial astonishment gives way to anger at being used so completely, and you develop a determination to find out more about how and why this came about.” While the author of “Internet Roundup” is cited on revisionism and mental liberation:

“I suggest that as long as there are free thinking individuals there will be revisionists.” Heady stuff for collegians grappling with the issues of critical thinking and intellectual freedom! Craig Scott’s Website also includes short biographies of Harry Elmer Barnes, Arthur Butz, and Paul Rassinier. These include links to important related information, much of it provided by CODOH or friends of CODOH.

Today Craig Scott’s Webpage is accessible in cyberspace for any and all to view. This to be sure is not polished revisionism of the sort provided by CODOH, compiled and edited by revisionists who have been fighting on the front lines for years, but it is an honest and a refreshing presentation from a student recently enlightened by an alternative perspective to a view of history he had been force-fed for years.
