Sounds to me as though this would be a very apt description of those
who mistakenly call themselves "revisionists":  their pseudo-academic
tracts are very phony.  They keep recycling their "arguments," not
because they _believe_ them to be true, but because they think it is
good for their agenda to delude others into thinking there may be some
truth to them.

Ehrlich, you are moving back to  again.  Why do you
speak of the Holocaust as a "pious fraud" that is "impossible to
believe?"  I suppose you would have us believe that you are simply
engaging in your "freedom to speculate" as to what Caecaa might be
implying.  And that, of course, you do not ascribe to - nor are you
responsible for - this particular turn of phrase.

Hmmm ... sounds almostTertullian to me.  Perhaps you should consider
changing your nym from Ehrlich toTertullich.  It would be somewhat
more honest, don't you think?

For the record, "Winston Smith" included no such "offer" in either of

I don't suppose it has *ever* occurred to you, Li'l Tommy, that if you
choose to conduct yourself in "real life," as you do here in alt.
revisionism, _anything_ you say about _anything_ would give reasonable
people cause to "get that 'looking sideways' expression on their
face."

>	It is just another part of the Holocaust Achilles heal.

The above is a prime example!  Here's a secret Li'l Tommy:  they are
'looking sideways' primarily to be polite and to avoid letting you
know that they are laughing at you.  Either that or they are totally
disgusted at finding themselves in the presence of a hate-filled,
ignorant, lying bigot such as you have proven yourself to be.

Indeed it is ... and if that was the message you received you must
have caused the error (not to mention fabricating the error message!)

The Nizkor FTP error message reads as follows:



Nizkor FTP Error

You have entered an invalid pathname or filename. Perhaps you typed
the URL yourself and your fingers slipped. The closest
directory I have is camps/auschwitz/cyanide/zyklon. You may go there,
return to the top directory, return to the Nizkor Home Page,
or you may, of course, just retype the URL and try to get it right. 

If you did not type it in yourself, please report this error, the
exact URL, and the page where you just came from, to
jamie@nizkor.org. Thank you.

Good question, Mark!  I really wondered the same thing myself.  At
this point I'm not sure if this is simply a function of Ehrlich
engaging in his "freedom to speculate" or a conclusion he has reached
on the basis of his own lack of expertise in the fields pertaining to
the discussion.  You do remember that he remained unconvinced
following the presentation of chemical evidence because _he_ was not a
chemist.    

An interesting and persuasive argument don't you think?  Tell the
world about your "impressive intellect and knowledge", then expect all
to give credence to your "opinions" when you know nothing about the
subject at hand.  Sure seems to be the Ehrlichian way, doesn't it?!

Then again, it does strike me that perhaps Ehrlich is someone who
absolutely _has_ to have the last word in any discussion (in the many
threads he has left dangling, perhaps he has fooled himself into
thinking he has accomplished this by ignoring the responses!)  Not to
mention the fact that getting water from a stone is probably easier
than getting an acknowledgement from Ehrlich that his assertions and
"arguments" are either unsubstantiated or in error.

No kidding.  Sorry, Ehrlich, I don't see any humour either in
Rudolph's claims or in any matters pertaining to the Auschwitz gas
chambers.  However, if you _insist_ (as you always do once you have
made a pronouncement) that the statement is "hysterically funny," one
can only conclude that there must be considerable truth to the
aphorism that "small things amuse small minds."  

OTOH your request in another thread that one of the chemists to post
some information bordered on amusing.  What good do you suppose this
would do you? You have already informed us that you were "unconvinced"
by such information presented previously because _you_ are not a
chemist.

No, Ehrlich, this is where _your_ problem begins.  You have no
interest in discussion of facts, rather your interest - like that of
all deniers/distorters  - is simply in finding hooks to which you can
append another recycled denier "argument."

And, surprise, surprise, here it is:  Yet another recycled denier
"argument".  It has been presented and refuted countless times before.
So many times, in fact, that you can find a web page discussing "The
Auschwitz Gambit: The Four Million Variant":

http://www.nizkor.org/features/denial-of-science/4-million-1.html

Do tell us again, Ehrlich, about your "impressive intellect and
knowledge."  Then perhaps you will address the discussion you snipped
(i.e. the substance) of Ms. Alpert's post.

Whoa, indeed!  Gee, Li'l Tommy, best you get back to your doctor ASAP
and *demand* that he review your medications.  This hallucinatory
projection is an indication that you have _completely_ lost touch with
reality.  And while you are there, please do mention to the doctor the
problem you are having with your perseverative delusional postings of
lies and hate-filled drivel.  He might be able to refer you to someone
to help you work through your problems.

Not fair, Keith.  Some might think that, by this exhortation,  you are
attempting to silence the witless troll.  After all, if he were to
follow your advice, he would have nothing to say about anything.

Actually, if the truth be told, we have hidden codes in the pages so
that these costly irritations only pop up when stupid little twits try
to access our archives.  It doesn't take any extra time for the rest
of the on-line world.  Guess you must be a stupid little twit, eh,

Yep.  You got it, Li'l Tommy - we *really* want to destroy _your_

These "revisionistic" foot-soldiers are amazing, simply amazing.

You want Ehrlich to acknowledge that he has erred?!  Surely you jest,
Gary!  The man does not seem to know how - although we have certainly
seen him cobble many convoluted pontifications and/or self-righteously
indignant protestations, in order to avoid retraction and apology. 

His favourite response, though, is a refrain from the Sounds of
Silence.  He claims to have "impressive intellect and knowledge" -
perhaps he does, but it seems that he keeps it well-hidden from the
readers of this newsgroup.

Finally a true statement from Mr. Raven!  Indeed it does take only a
few minutes of one's time to ascertain the "position" of those who
mistakenly call themselves "revisionists."  However, it is interesting
to note that Mr. Raven has _ignored_ the question in the post to which
he pretends to respond.  Why _do_ you persist in dismissing such
texts, Mr. Raven?  And why do you obfuscate instead of answering
questions?

>Revisionists do not deny the Holocoaust. Revisionists do not deny that
>many Jews suffered and died during the Second World War.

Indeed legitimate historical revisionists do none of these things.
However, Mr. Raven and others of his ilk invariably engage in lies and
distortions in an attempt to delude others who - through no fault of
their own - may not know any better.  

Unfortunately for Mr. Raven and others of his ilk - and despite their
best pseudo-academic efforts - their transparent agenda betrays the
deceptive myths they attempt to have their readership believe while
they masquerade as voices of reason and seekers of truth.

>Revisionists DO say that there was no German program to exterminate

Indeed they DO utter such _unsubstantiated_ assertions (freedom of
speech is very much a blessing here - how else would we know how
totally bereft of honesty these apologists really are?!) with
predictable regularity.  They vainly hope that if they repeat
themselves - and recycle their lies and distortions - often enough
sooner or later someone will make the mistake of giving them credence.


>Finally, people from all walks of live, of all religious faiths, and all
>racial backgrounds, agree with the revisionist view of the Holocaust. 

Well, it certainly seems to have worked with the Ehrlichs, Morans,
Giwers, Beaulieus, Barons, Hubers and other assorted riff-raff of this
world.

>If

>people's motives to make your point.

To the contrary, Mr. Raven:  are you not aware of the old maxim "He
who asserts must prove."  As you yourself noted at the beginning of
your post, it takes only a few minutes to ascertain the so-called
"revisionist position."   That you have repeatedly failed to
substantiate your claims is evidence in itself of its "wrongness."  

Newcomers to alt.revisionism may wish to point their web browsers to 

http://www.nizkor.org/features/qar/

There you will find everything you always wanted to know (but were
afraid to ask) about the "revisionist position."

Incidentally, if the so-called "revisionist view" had any truth to it,
those who promote it should have no difficulty presenting a coherent
alternative explanation for the overwhelming body of existing evidence
- which includes the Nazis own records and testimonies of both
perpetrators and survivors.  To date, they have failed to do so.

OTOH, it seems that Mr. Raven is so sure of his position that he must
resort to e-mail spamming in order to get some attention.

Thank you for your acknowledgement that your postings consist of
repeated _unsubstantiated assertions_.  

I, for one, have never doubted that you "mean what you say" when you
claim that "Hitler was a great man"  and that he was "about the best
thing that could have happened to Germany."

Btw, if you are so concerned about how others "interpret" what you
say, perhaps you should refrain from the denier doublespeak which is
so characteristic of your material.

No one else is making such assertions either.  But you are quite
correct:  I cannot produce a Nazi gas chamber. And as you well know,
that does not mean that they did not exist.  No matter how often you
repeat these absurdities, you cannot change the facts, Mr. Raven.

Articles?  You mean those pseudo-academic tracts and anti-Semitic
diatribes you publish from which the IHR financially benefits?  Yes,
they have indeed "done just this" i.e. failed to address the evidence
in a coherent and honest way.  (When _are_ you going to remove some of
those lies from your website, btw?)

>Indeed, what makes the revisionist position so strong is that

Alternate explanations?  You mean the grand conspiracy perpetrated by
the evil joooooos and the propaganda of those nasty allies the US and
the Brits?  

Oh, and btw, Mr. Raven, the evidence supports the _facts_ of the
Holocaust.  The _claims_ that have not been supported are all yours.
But you know that.

Actually, Mr. Green, I rather think we have seen a demonstration of
the cobbler attempting to do some fancy footwork.  Trouble is, he
doesn't seem to want to utilize his "impressive intellect and
knowledge."  As a consequence, his left foot does not seem to know
what his right foot is doing - and he prefers to remain blissfully
ignorant of the fact that his mouth does not seem quite large enough
to accommodate both feet simultaneously.

Nice of you to paste this in for us Mr. Raven.  However, perhaps you
would also post the URL from which this quote was taken - and the
Title, Author and Page of the book where this alleged quote may be
verified.

Readers will note from Mr. Stein's post in this thread that Mr. Raven
has been known to take liberties by using selective and dishonest
quoting.  It seems to be a common denier trait.

In the meantime, here's another Hitler quote:

	"Centuries may lapse, but from the ruins of our cities and monuments
will rise anew the hatred for that people to whom we owe all this,

Yep. That Hitler sure was one great guy.  One wonders if Mr. Raven and
his friends are doing their best to fastforward the time-frame for
fulfillment of Hitler's testament of April 28/29, 1945.

Wow!  Such "impressive intellect and knowledge."  Very convincing
Ehrlich.  There was "no necessity" for the Nazis to murder 12 million
innocent people (of whom approximately 6 million were Jewish) either.
Using your logic, I suppose any explanation of these murders was
"_possible_ but in [your] opinion not _probable_."

Tell us again how you are "trying to undercut deniers", Ehrlich.

cobbles and weaves as he plays his version of the 4 million variant
while riding one of his hobby-horses:

[snip]

>Lucy Dawidowicz claimed 2 million, from the context I assume she is
>referring to Jews only. 

>(The War against the Jews / 1933-1945, New York, Holt, 1975, pp. 149-149).

You assume this from the context do you, Ehrlich?  Well let us take a
look at the context:

The immediately preceding paragraph (p. 148) to the "Auschwitz
2,000,000" at the top. of p.149 reads as follows: [ellipses and
emphasis are mine]



THE STATISTICS OF THE DEATH CAMPS ARE ONLY APPROXIMATE.  At Auschwitz,
the largest mass-killing installation, many transports of deportees
went directly from the detraining ramps to the gas chambers and WERE
NEVER STATISCALLY REGISTERED.  On March 16, 1946, Ho"ss made the
following statement ... :  "I personally arranged on orders received
>from  Himmler in May 1941 the gassing of two million persons between
June-July 1941 and the end of 1942, during which time I was commandant
of Auschwitz."  MOST VICTIMS AT THE DEATH CAMPS WERE JEWS, BUT ALSO
GYPSIES AND THOUSANDS OF NON-JEWS - selected for particular reasons -
were gassed.



Sorry, Ehrlich, I may lack your "impressive intellect and knowledge"
but I fail to see from the context the basis of your assumption "that
she is referring to Jews only"

[snip]

Well, using _your_ reasoning, wrt to "deliberate deception", your
citation of Dawidowicz _strongly_ suggests that we should throw _your_
contentions, assumptions and arguments in doubt.  As you, yourself,
state (and as others have noted of other citations of yours):

>Now since there was one case, and since there were others (Majdanek,
>Katyn, Demjanjuk, etc.) it follows that there could be others.  [...]

Speculate to your heart's content, Ehrlich, but don't expect people to
_trust_ anything you say when you engage in such intellectually
dishonest "scholarship."

Sheesh!  What colour is your decoder ring-finger this week,
McFeevaysten?  It's obviously affecting your comprehension skills.  I
made NO OFFERS to anyone!  I was simply practising my "creative
ambiguity" skills.  Let me refresh your memory:

Gansteinfen asked:

	If he does call me a fatbroad do I get a T-Shirt ?

I replied:


	Possibly!  (especially if you don't demand the keys to the condo,
which is now in the hands of agent Finsteinfen - and I doubt that
she'll ever give it up)  However, you will have to submit your
application (in triplicate), along with all supporting documentation,
to the FBTC (FatBroad T-shirt Commission) c/o ZOGWESCAN (pls. use your
decoder ring to find the address of the day)


Now where in the above did I make _any_ offer or commitment?  Did I
even say *probably*?  No, I said *possibly*  Now, perhaps in McFeebrew
*possibly* means something completely different.  But in _my_ books,
it means maybe yes, maybe no. (And the  should have been a dead
giveaway - read the manual for gosh sakes.)

I'm in charge of new recruitment next month, McFeevaysten - and I have
to _practice_ my ambiguity skills.  But, if you keep forcing me to
reveal my strategy by your *constant* whining, I'm gonna complain to
the Chief at the next (secret) meeting - and suggest that he cut you
off from your decoder ring interpretation lessons subsidy.

And besides, there are 3 new appointees to the FBTC and they need some
applications to review. (N.B.  I did not say *approve,*  I said
*review*)  So if Gansteinfen sees this and decides not to submit his
application, it will be all your fault.

Surely we won't have to wait much longer for his departure.  After
all, the troll has repeatedly assured us that his only purpose in
being here is to hone his skills in preparation for making a
monumental contribution to the campaign rhetoric of the political
candidate of his choice in the impending US election, which should be
heating up any day now.

Are we to take it then that - in your view - expressions of
anti-Semitic (or other racist) sentiments are quite acceptable because
those who utter such sentiments don't really "believe" what they are
saying but are simply trolling (and that makes it OK)?  Would you put
such "trolling" on a par with, say, Giwer's ... um ... "skepticism?"

Abusing?  Who is "into abusing people for making anti-semitic
statements," Ehrlich? Please share with us your definition of "abuse"
- and provide us with some specific examples of this "abuse" in
context.  And please do enlighten us as to what would constitute a
more acceptable response (if any) to the comments which precipitated
these alleged "abuses" - in your view, of course.  

Oh, and btw, Ehrlich, do you have some objection to the postings of
those who are "fighting hate?"  

Am I the only one who infers from Ehrlich's "guessing" and "surmising"
that expressions of anti-Semitism/racism are acceptable in this forum
(after all those who do so are only trolling), but that exposure,
refutation and denunciation are not (because those who do so are
"abusing" the trolls)?
