The Denial of Common Sense: Hollywood Jewry in Damage Control
January/April 2017
In what appears to be international Jewry's panic stations attempt to halt the increasing number of people waking up to the Holocaust fraud, Hollywood has come up with its latest insult to the collective intelligence: a film called "Denial", allegedly about the Irving/Lipstadt Holocaust libel trial of early 2000, but unlikely to have even a passing resemblance to the reality of that unfortunate event, in which exceptional WW2 historian David Irving, entirely on his own and with his own funds, took on a huge legal team costing millions of dollars and funded by Jewish tycoons and organizations, among them Steven Spielberg and the American Jewish Committee......
Pictured above right: Hardly the Hollywood portrayal. The real David Irving and Deborah Lipstadt during the 2000 libel trial. Lipstadt was backed by a huge legal team funded by Jewish tycoons to the tune of 13 million USD. Irving faced them alone.
The court room on one side [was] dominated by this huge team that Deborah Lipstadt had assembled behind her with her Hollywood friends who put up the money of course....and this huge team of six professors and all their assistants and all their research assistants and all the barristers and counsel and solicitors and solicitor's assistants, forty of them every day coming into the high court on one side of the high court and on the other side of the high court...myself.
In fact the chief 'expert' for the official narrative regarding Auschwitz, Professor Robert Jan Van Pelt, received US$200,000 for his appearance alone. How enormously lucrative it can be to tow the official line! And think of the enormous pressure that placed upon Irving who at all times was conscious of the fact that he may well have to bear the costs of the trial. Never mind that most of the evidence presented by the Lipstadt team ought to have been ruled inadmissible as a matter of law(1). And never mind that only nine years later van Pelt went on record in an interview with the Toronto Star(2) declaring:
"Ninety-nine per cent of what we know [regarding the 'Holocaust'] we do not actually have the physical evidence to prove.....it has become part of our inherited knowledge."
Note the usual doublespeak of these career liars. How can we 'know' what we cannot prove? It is not that the documentary evidence and eyewitness accounts are any better than the physical evidence. This is not even controversial – the Lipstadt Defence team conceded as much at trial. The presiding judge, Mr. Justice Charles Gray, in his judgment of April 11, 2000, summarised these concessions as follows:
"The Defendants [Lipstadt and Penguin publishers] recognise that not all of the evidence......is altogether reliable. This applies with particular force to the evidence of the eye-witnesses. It is also accepted by the Defendants that in certain respects the documentary evidence, including the photographic evidence, is capable of more than one interpretation."
This is a remarkable acknowledgement by Gray especially in light of the fact that the rest of his judgment is essentially a thoroughly unconvincing attempt to find same evidence not only reliable but 'overwhelming' in its persuasiveness; despite literally hard concrete evidence to the contrary. (We will discuss the evidence in some detail below.) In fact the evidence for the official Holocaust narrative as presented at the Irving-Lipstadt trial was, in truth, so inadequate that Lipstadt's counsel were compelled to argue a so-called 'convergence of evidence' in which we are expected to believe that if you add nothing together a sufficient number of times you get something a little like something at the end of it. A theory that will be no doubt easy to accept for those who subscribe to the hitherto unknown mathematical law that 6 million minus 3 million equals 6 million when applied to Holocaust and Auschwitz death estimates.(3)
In other words what we are left with essentially is a kind of folk tale ('inherited knowledge') that Jews like van Pelt hope will be handed down from one generation to the next. Somehow I rather doubt it. Truth has a way of rising to the top despite all efforts to conceal or distort it. Perhaps that is why on the final day of the Lipstadt trial the Israeli ambassador no less, made certain to appear in the back of the court (mafia style with bodyguards) for the reading of Gray J's entirely predictable verdict against Irving, and the subsequent media circus.
In stark contrast to the Lipstadt army of experts and counsel, Irving represented himself, putting everything he had on the line and ultimately losing it. He has also been seriously physically assaulted, largely vilified in the same mainstream media that were once only too happy to justly laud him, and has spent time in prison, all for having the courage to openly express politically incorrect, yet evidentially sound views about the second world war. So much for freedom of speech. (More on this here.)
The 'Denial' film trailer, by the way, depicts so-called 'neo-Nazi' hooligans shouting slogans on the street outside the courtroom - one wonders if the paid Jewish thugs that pelted Irving with eggs on the day of his closing speech and were aggressively present at other times throughout the trial will also be depicted. In fact the so-called 'neo-Nazis' (if they existed at all in unscripted reality) were probably on the same pay-roll as the Jewish thugs truth be told - the world is fast waking up to the false flag tactics of these deceivers. Meanwhile Lipstadt has known only kickback upon kickback (however concealed and indirect they may have been) culminating in the tidy sum she will no doubt get for this latest film based ostensibly on her book. Keeping all this in mind then, who is the real hero here, I ask you? I mean, honestly.
There are many in the Holocaust revisionist movement (i.e. those who find themselves unable, in the face of the evidence, to accept the official narrative) who both at the time and afterwards, questioned Irving's wisdom in bringing a libel action in an English court concerning his unorthodox views about World War 2 and the Holocaust. As Irving's father used to tell him, 'British justice is the best money can buy'. Given then his detractors it has been suggested that Irving simply could not afford it. Indeed to those unfamiliar with the adversarial court system it can be difficult to conceive of all the ways that a pronounced disparity in the pecuniary capacity of the litigating parties can be turned to legal advantage, but rest assured that lawyers do not share the common ignorance on this point. Of course the idea that Irving ultimately lost his case merely as a result of his inability to match his opponents' monetary muscle assumes that it would have been afforded him at any price in the circumstances, which frankly I doubt.
Doug Christie and Robert Faurisson: Holocaust lie-witness demolition team at the 1985 Zundel trial. |
Leading lights of the revisionist movement felt also that Irving ought to have called them as witnesses as had been done to such great effect by legendary barrister Doug Christie and his client Ernst Zundel in the 1985 and 1988 Zundel trials. Civil rights activist and martyr to free speech, Zundel, had published a revisionist booklet and was prosecuted under an archaic Canadian law for spreading 'false news'. (Sound familiar? - the same old censorship tactics from the same old enemies of truth.) He was eventually acquitted (in 1992) and the law by which he was prosecuted repealed, but you won't see Hollywood making a film about that disaster for the Holocaust liars any time soon! In fact at the Zundel trials, brilliant cross-examinations by Christie, with the help of equally legendary researcher Robert Faurisson, made so clear the implausibility, if not utter absurdity, of orthodox Holocaust 'eye-witness' accounts that not one dared show up for the appeal. One such witness, Rudolf Vrba, who featured in the deeply flawed van Pelt report at the Irving-Lipstadt trial, was forced to concede under oath at the Zundel trial that he had used 'poetic license' when describing alleged events in his Holocaust book. In other words, he made them up. Another witness, Arnold Friedman, finally admitted under cross examination that he had in fact seen nothing at all, but had simply relied on the hearsay of others.
And it wasn't only the eye-witnesses who came under the hitherto unapplied light of genuinely objective scrutiny. Raul Hilberg, author of the much lauded and voluminous 'The destruction of the European Jews', and still considered one of the chief scholars for the official Holocaust narrative, was compelled to admit under oath that the statements in his book about Hitler ordering the extermination of the Jews were completely unsupported by any documentary evidence(4); which explains of course why in an otherwise rigorously footnoted work these statements were suspiciously not footnoted. Hilberg further admitted that same statements were in fact simply a matter of his own opinion about which he was entitled to change his mind at any time, though in his book he had clearly implied that they were a matter of established fact. Naturally the suggestion that he had deliberately set out to deceive his readers in this way did not occur to him as a suitable explanation for such an obvious ruse. In fact, elsewhere Hilberg has publicly acknowledged that there never was any central agency blueprint or budget for the alleged extermination of the Jews. According to his well-known and thoroughly ridiculous 'incredible meeting of minds' theory, all orders regarding the extermination of the Jews were given by some kind of tacit telepathy; 'a consensus mind-reading by a far-flung bureaucracy', to be precise. Such are the lengths these frauds will go to, to maintain the untenable.
Germar Rudolf: his "Rudolf Report" both replicated and superseded the ground-breaking work of Fred Leuchter. Rudolf has served prison time in his native Germany for the thought crime of questioning the official Holocaust narrative on sound scientific grounds. |
Certainly a strong case could be made that Irving ought to have called chemist Germar Rudolf as a witness. In fact Gray J went as far as stating in his judgment that:
“I have not overlooked the fact that Irving claimed that Leuchter's findings have been replicated, notably in a report by Germar Rudolf. But that report was not produced at the trial so it is impossible for me to assess its evidential value.”
No doubt Gray was secretly relieved. Fred Leuchter, by the way, had written a ground-breaking report in the eighties for the Zundel trials. This report included results of chemical tests made on mortar samples taken from the walls of the alleged gas chambers at Auschwitz, showing no significant traces of the cyanide gas with which hundreds of thousands of Jews were allegedly killed. If these homicidal claims were true, the walls ought to have been full of it, let's face it. Given then, van Pelt's paltry, unqualified and fraudulent attempts to discredit the Leuchter report, which were, as a matter of course, nonetheless accepted as credible testimony by Gray J, the evidence of an actual chemist such as Rudolf would have introduced some much needed real expertise and objectivity to the argument. The deeply impressive and utterly unmatched breadth of knowledge of Italian researcher, Carlo Mattogno, regarding technical aspects of the Auschwitz cremation process, incineration capacity and fuel supply, might also have been heard to good effect. Even if the additional testimonies of Rudolf and Mattogno did not make any difference to the verdict regarding the libel action, they would have served to put a more correct view of the evidence for and against the official Holocaust narrative on the public record. In any case, we shall ourselves call these witnesses below so that the reader might make his own judgement.
Nonetheless one can't help admire Irving for trying his lone hand in court. The reader is invited to read the trial transcripts, especially Irving's cross examinations (giving and receiving); Irving's performance is remarkably good - certainly Irving could teach his counterpart Rampton QC a thing or two about common courtesy. Irving's performance is all the more remarkable when one considers his complete lack of legal experience and the fact that he is surrounded by old-hand legal sharks like Rampton and Anthony Julius (Princess Diana's solicitor, I hear), and Lipstadt's team of experts-for-hire; all of whom were essentially antagonistic to his views - Gray J too, truth be told. Not to mention all the other solicitors working on the case both during the trial and in the 4 years or so pre-trial leading up to the case. From what I gather, every trick in the book was thrown at Irving, all perfectly legal of course, but in some cases utterly reprehensible and despicable nonetheless(5). And it wasn't just the legal team. Journalists too played their part in making sure that the trial received only that attention that was acceptable to their Jewish masters. US historian and author, Michael Hoffman, summed up the highly selective media coverage of the trial as follows:
Irving: not the Hollywood caricature |
By the way, in referring to Irving, I am referring, of course to the actual man, not the unconscionable caricature they apparently have portraying him in the above mentioned Hollywood film. Please understand there is a world of difference. And while half-wit actress Rachael Weiss (with one eye fixed firmly on the advancement of her meaningless career) will no doubt read her scripted lines just as she is expertly directed to, thus giving film-goers Hollywood's cringe-worthy mis-impression of that repellent affront to real scholarship and fundamental standards of evidence, Deborah Lipstadt, the real Lipstadt remains in fact little more than a mediocre stooge for the Holocaust propaganda machine, and by all accounts an insufferable bore into the bargain. The film was released in the US at the end of September last year, in the UK in January, and will arrive, I am told, in Australian cinemas on April 13th. I have not, and do not intend to see the film (frankly, I do not have the stomach for Hollywood), but what I have seen of the trailer is enough to convince me that it is yet another entirely meretricious, formulaic and emotionally manipulative propaganda piece designed for that ever-diminishing number of simpletons still inclined to buy such rubbish. If however the reader prefers hard facts he is invited to read the article that follows below: “Did the Lipstadt Trial Prove the Official Holocaust Narrative?”
Lipstadt: would not face up to Irving in court |
In a recent interview on YouTube, Michael Hoffman describes with characteristic eloquence the true nature of the Lipstadt trial and the film based upon it. Here is a particularly pertinent excerpt:
"I think that it's interesting to note that history is so often tried by Hollywood. They can't actually have Germar Rudolf or Carlo Mattogno or one of the other experts from codoh.com [Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust] on their news programs or debating on CBS or CNN, and instead they create these puppet figures, these simulacrums, these strawmen of David Irving in the movie, and then attack that and present that as the reality. And I think that it's an indicator of their insecurity and weakness that they have to do this second hand through Tinsel Town rather than directly through a debate with bona-fide revisionist historians."
Exactly. To date neither Lipstadt nor any of the other exterminationists have shown themselves ready and able to face up to any of the top revisionist experts in open debate despite repeated invitations to do so. In fact Lipstadt betrayed her intellectual cowardice and scholastic ineptitude when she opted out of direct cross examination by David Irving in the libel trial. Surely that was her opportunity to put him straight about all the alleged lies and falsifications she was more than ready to accuse him of before the trial, from the relative safety of the pages of a book. But when the opportunity came to do it one-on-one, face-to-face, she chose rather to ensconce herself safely behind the skirts of her inflated legal team. In contrast, as noted above, Irving fared well both under cross examination himself, and also cross examining the whole chorus of Lipstadt's so-called experts and witnesses, showing himself more than a match for any of them, despite their inflated pay cheques. Irving had after all, the distinct advantage of being essentially in the right.
I think that it's interesting to note that history is so often tried by Hollywood. They can't actually have Germar Rudolf or Carlo Mattogno or one of the other experts from codoh.com [Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust] on their news programs or debating on CBS or CNN, and instead they create these puppet figures, these simulacrums, these strawmen of David Irving in the movie, and then attack that and present that as the reality.
In fact if one had to criticise Irving for anything it would be perhaps to suggest that what appeared in him throughout the trial to be a genuine, implicit and even boyishly naive faith in English 'Justice' was, regrettably, somewhat misplaced in the circumstances. On the other hand he may not have been all that naive by the end of the trial: when asked by a colleague what he thought his chances of winning were, he quipped, “it depends on whether the judge is prepared to commit professional suicide”. The verdict against him was, of course, a foregone conclusion. As many of the more perceptive and disinterested observers noted at the time the judge might as well have written it before the trial began. Unfair? Consider the following revealing exchange that took place between Gray J and Irving very early on in the trial(7) almost three months before the delivery of the judgement:
Justice Charles Gray: a convenient judgement |
MR JUSTICE GRAY: Let me ask you this question, and do not answer if you do not want to, but if I were to come to the conclusion that there is a whole range of formidable evidence of one kind and another.
MR IRVING: Yes.
MR JUSTICE GRAY: Camp officials, eyewitnesses, scientific evidence, evidence of construction at the gas chambers and the like; all of which was there, but you paid no attention to it, is that something you would accept?
In fact the above excerpt forms part of a longer exchange in which Rampton QC is doing his best to pressure Irving into disavowing the 'Leuchter Report' (we will discuss this report below), but a better two sentence summary of the deeply flawed judgement Gray would deliver almost three months and 25 trial days later could not possibly be formulated. Perhaps Gray ought to have ended the matter right there and then and saved Irving the financially crippling additional costs. Instead, Gray permitted himself to preside over a further 25 days of a farce in which the substantial body of work of an exceptional historian, representing decades of painstaking research, was subjected to the pettiest of nit-picking by an unholy gang of hired stooges for politically correct conformity.
"I think his [Irving's] is a view which, even if one disagrees with it, has to be taken seriously. He is, after all, the only man of standing, on the basis of his other research, who puts the case for Hitler forward and it seems to me that it is mistaken to dismiss it. It requires the most careful examination, though, I must say, I hope that I am never subjected to the kind of examination that Mr Irving’s books have been suggested to by the Defence witnesses. I have a very strong feeling that there are other senior historical figures, including some to whom I owed a great deal of my own career, whose work would not stand up, or not all of whose work would stand up, to this kind of examination."
Indeed. But that a true son of the British isles of the intelligence and integrity of Irving should have been so treated by one of his own Justice systems is a disgrace that Britain would do well to rectify, and make amends for, sooner rather than later. For its own sake.
“I heard the expert witnesses who were paraded before us use phrases like the “consensus of expert opinion” as their source so often – in fact the word consensus occurs so far no fewer than forty times in the daily transcripts of this trial – that I began to wonder what archives were for. I suggest that these experts were more expert in reporting each other’s opinions, and those of people who agree with them, than in what the archives actually do – and do not – contain.”

Did the Irving-Lipstadt Trial Prove the Official Holocaust Narrative? The tag-line for the new Hollywood film, 'Denial', implies that the Irving-Lipstadt libel trial somehow proved the official Holocaust narrative. Did it really? Or are we simply being fed another preposterous propaganda lie by the masters of the art? Clearly the answer to this question is not to be found in Hollywood's version of history, but in knowing the true state of the Holocaust debate beyond the carefully controlled main stream media information channels. That means knowing both sides of the story, not just one. If you are new to the 'other' side of the debate you may be in for something of a shock as to where the proofs actually lie....... |
The Case for Revisionism at the Irving-Lipstadt trial |
|
Fact is, the truth about Auschwitz-Birkenau is an open and shut case. One need only bother to look into it seriously to confirm this. Consider the evidence: 1. No Zyklon B introduction holes in the concrete roof of the alleged gas chamber of Crematorium II, where a large part of the homicidal gassings are alleged to have taken place. 2. No traces of cyanide in any of the walls of the alleged gas chambers. 3. Technical impossibility of cremation of the bodies of alleged gassing victims (inadequate time, fuel and equipment.) 4. Official death register books released from the Moscow Archives by Gorbachev in 1989 confirm the technical evidence. 5. War-time head of British Intelligence, in full knowledge of cracked 'Enigma' top secret coded messages between the Auschwitz commandant and Berlin, declares the gas chamber stories to be 'untrustworthy'. What is truly astonishing, in light of the evidence taken as a whole, is not what it actually indicates, but that the bullies of politically correct comformity have managed to keep us so much in the dark about it for so long ....... |
Update March 2017: More Jewish panic, bullying and hypocrisy as the public continues to unplug from the perception management machine........
Amazon bows to pressure from Jewish groups and media, banning hundreds of books by Holocaust revisionist scholars as sales begin to soar worldwide. Predictably, the mainstream media ignores the story.
When leading revisionist scholar, Germar Rudolf, was asked recently (in an interview with Kevin Barrett) why he thought Amazon had resorted to the digital equivalent of a mass "book-burning" this month, he summed it up simply in one word: "Success".
Speaking of his publishing company, Castle Hill, Rudolf explained:
“At the end of last year we had some 100 titles listed.....And soon we were observing sales statistics with some of these [revisionist] books that were similar to comparable books representing orthodoxy. Sometimes ours were selling better than those of the orthodoxy. And that development was prevalent since last summer and early fall. I was observing that we were catching up and overtaking the sales of the other side......Well, the Jewish lobby can read those statistics too. It is a matter of cultural hegemony. This topic is extremely crucial for their cultural hegemony: put a guilt trip on everyone because of the poor Jews being exterminated, and the threat of them being exterminated again. They can manipulate everyone, including their own people: Jews are being educated to be paranoid against non-Jews, to keep the sheep in the flock. So they use it for both sides. So these (sales statistics) showed there was a paradigm shift, a cultural threat, and if they let it happen it would strike at the very core of their hegemony. And so something was bound to happen......."
