Few people know the facts about the singular event that helped spark what ultimately became known as World War II – the international Jewish declaration of war on Germany shortly after Adolf Hitler came to power and well before any official German government sanctions or reprisals against Jews were carried out. The March 24, 1933 issue of The Daily Express of London (shown above) described how Jewish leaders, in combination with powerful international Jewish financial interests, had launched a boycott of Germany for the express purpose of crippling her already precarious economy in the hope of bringing down the new Hitler regime. It was only then that Germany struck back in response. Thus, if truth be told, it was the worldwide Jewish leadership – not the Third Reich – that effectively fired the first shot in the Second World War. Prominent New York attorney Samuel Untermyer (above right) was one of the leading agitators in the war against Germany, describing the Jewish campaign as nothing less than a “holy war.”

Long before the Hitler government began restricting the rights of the German Jews, the leaders of the worldwide Jewish community formally declared war on the “New Germany” at a time when the U.S. government and even the Jewish leaders in Germany were urging caution in dealing with the new Hitler regime.

The war by the international Jewish leadership on Germany not only sparked definite reprisals by the German government but also set the stage for a little-known economic and political alliance between the Hitler government and the leaders of the Zionist movement who hoped that the tension between the Germans and the Jews would lead to massive emigration to Palestine. In short, the result was a tactical alliance between the Nazis and the founders of the modern-day state of Israel – a fact that many today would prefer be forgotten.

To this day, it is generally (although incorrectly) believed that when Adolf Hitler was appointed German chancellor in January of 1933, the German government began policies to suppress the Jews of Germany, including rounding up of Jews and putting them in concentration camps and launching campaigns of terror and violence against the domestic Jewish population.

While there were sporadic eruptions of violence against Jews in Germany after Hitler came to power, this was not officially sanctioned or encouraged. And the truth is that anti-Jewish sentiments in Germany (or elsewhere in Europe) were actually nothing new. As all Jewish historians attest with much fervor, anti-Semitic uprisings of various degrees had been ever-present in European history.

In any case, in early 1933, Hitler was not the undisputed leader of Germany, nor did he have full command of the armed forces. Hitler was a major figure in a coalition government, but he was far from being the government himself. That was the result of a process of consolidation which evolved later.

Even Germany’s Jewish Central Association, known as the Verein, contested the suggestion (made by some Jewish leaders outside Germany) that the new government was deliberately provoking anti-Jewish uprisings.

The Verein issued a statement that “the responsible government authorities [i.e. the Hitler regime] are unaware of the threatening situation,” saying, “we do not believe our German fellow citizens will let themselves be carried away into committing excesses against the Jews.”

Despite this, Jewish leaders in the United States and Britain determined on their own that it was necessary to launch a war against the Hitler government.

On March 12, 1933 the American Jewish Congress announced a massive protest at Madison Square Gardens for March 27. At that time the commander in chief of the Jewish War Veterans called for an American boycott of German goods. In the meantime, on March 23, 20,000 Jews protested at New York’s City Hall as rallies were staged outside the North German Lloyd and Hamburg-American shipping lines and boycotts were mounted against German goods throughout shops and businesses in New York City.

According to The Daily Express of London of March 24, 1933, the Jews had already launched their boycott against Germany and her elected government. The headline read “Judea Declares War on Germany – Jews of All the World Unite – Boycott of German Goods – Mass Demonstrations.” The article described a forthcoming “holy war” and went on to implore Jews everywhere to boycott German goods and engage in mass demonstrations against German economic interests. According to the Express:

The whole of Israel throughout the world is uniting to declare an economic and financial war on Germany. The appearance of the Swastika as the symbol of the new Germany has revived the old war symbol of Judas to new life. Fourteen million Jews scattered over the entire world are tight to each other as if one man, in order to declare war against the German persecutors of their fellow believers.
The Jewish wholesaler will quit his house, the banker his stock exchange, the merchant his business, and the beggar his humble hut, in order to join the holy war against Hitler’s people.

The Express said that Germany was “now confronted with an international boycott of its trade, its finances, and its industry…. In London, New York, Paris and Warsaw, Jewish businessmen are united to go on an economic crusade.”

The article said “worldwide preparations are being made to organize protest demonstrations,” and reported that “the old and reunited nation of Israel gets in formation with new and modern weapons to fight out its age old battle against its persecutors.”

This truly could be described as “the first shot fired in the Second World War.”

In a similar vein, the Jewish newspaper Natscha Retsch wrote:

The war against Germany will be waged by all Jewish communities, conferences, congresses… by every individual Jew. Thereby the war against Germany will ideologically enliven and promote our interests, which require that Germany be wholly destroyed.
The danger for us Jews lies in the whole German people, in Germany as a whole as well as individually. It must be rendered harmless for all time…. In this war we Jews have to participate, and this with all the strength and might we have at our disposal.

However, note well that the Zionist Association of Germany put out a telegram on the 26th of March rejecting many of the allegations made against the National Socialists as “propaganda,” “mendacious” and “sensational.”

In fact, the Zionist faction had every reason to ensure the permanence of National Socialist ideology in Germany. Klaus Polkehn, writing in the Journal of Palestine StudiesJPS v. 3/4, spring/summer 1976), claims that the moderate attitude of the Zionists was due to their vested interest in seeing the financial victory of National Socialism to force immigration to Palestine. This little-known factor would ultimately come to play a pivotal part in the relationship between Nazi Germany and the Jews. (“The Secret Contacts: Zionism and Nazi Germany, 1933-1941″;

In the meantime, though, German Foreign Minister Konstantin von Neurath complained of the “vilification campaign” and said:

As concerns Jews, I can only say that their propagandists abroad are rendering their co-religionists in Germany no service by giving the German public, through their distorted and untruthful news about persecution and torture of Jews, the impression that they actually halt at nothing, not even at lies and calumny, to fight the present German government.

The fledgling Hitler government itself was clearly trying to contain the growing tension – both within Germany and without. In the United States, even U.S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull wired Rabbi Stephen Wise of the American Jewish Congress and urged caution:

Whereas there was for a short time considerable physical mistreatment of Jews, this phase may be considered virtually terminated…. A stabilization appears to have been reached in the field of personal mistreatment…. I feel hopeful that the situation which has caused such widespread concern throughout this country will soon revert to normal.

This New York Daily News front page headline hailed the massive anti-German protest rally held in Madison Square Garden on March 27, 1933. Despite efforts by the German government to alleviate tensions and prevent the escalation of name-calling and threats by the international Jewish leadership, the rally was held as scheduled. Similar rallies and protest marches were also being held in other cities during the same time frame. The intensity of the Jewish campaign against Germany was such that the Hitler government vowed that if the campaign did not stop, there would be a one-day boycott in Germany of Jewish-owned stores. Despite this, the hate campaign continued, forcing Germany to take defensive measures that created a situation wherein the Jews of Germany became increasingly marginalized. The truth about the Jewish war on Germany has been suppressed by most histories of the period.

Despite all this, the leaders of the Jewish community refused to relent. On March 27 there were simultaneous protest rallies at Madison Square Garden, in Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cleveland and 70 other locations. The New York rally was broadcast worldwide. The bottom line is that “the New Germany” was declared to be an enemy of Jewish interests and thus needed to be economically strangled. This was before Hitler decided to boycott Jewish goods.

It was in direct response to this that the German government announced a one-day boycott of Jewish businesses in Germany on April 1. German Propaganda Minister Dr. Joseph Goebbels announced that if, after the one-day boycott, there were no further attacks on Germany, the boycott would be stopped. Hitler himself responded to the Jewish boycott and the threats in a speech on March 28 – four days after the original Jewish declaration of war – saying:

Now that the domestic enemies of the nation have been eliminated by the Volk itself, what we have long been waiting for will not come to pass.
The Communist and Marxist criminals and their Jewish-intellectual instigators, who, having made off with their capital stocks across the border in the nick of time, are now unfolding an unscrupulous, treasonous campaign of agitation against the German Volk as a whole from there….
Lies and slander of positively hair-raising perversity are being launched about Germany. Horror stories of dismembered Jewish corpses, gouged out eyes and hacked off hands are circulating for the purpose of defaming the German Volk in the world for the second time, just as they had succeeded in doing once before in 1914.

Thus, the fact – one conveniently left out of nearly all history on the subject – is that Hitler’s March 28, 1933 boycott order was in direct response to the declaration of war on Germany by the worldwide Jewish leadership just four days earlier. Today, Hitler’s boycott order is described as a naked act of aggression, yet the full circumstances leading up to his order are seldom described in even the most ponderous and detailed histories of “the Holocaust”.

Not even Saul Friedlander in his otherwise comprehensive overview of German policy, Nazi Germany and the Jews, mentions the fact that the Jewish declaration of war and boycott preceded Hitler’s speech of March 28, 1933. Discerning readers would be wise to ask why Friedlander felt this item of history so irrelevant.

The simple fact is that it was organized Jewry as a political entity – and not even the German Jewish community per se – that actually initiated the first shot in the war with Germany.

Germany’s response was a defensive – not an offensive – measure. Were that fact widely known today, it would cast new light on the subsequent events that ultimately led to the world-wide conflagration that followed.

To understand Hitler’s reaction to the Jewish declaration of war, it is vital to understand the critical state of the German economy at the time. In 1933, the German economy was in a shambles. Some 3 million Germans were on public assistance with a total of 6 million unemployed. Hyper-inflation had destroyed the economic vitality of the German nation. Furthermore, the anti-German propaganda pouring out of the global press strengthened the resolve of Germany’s enemies, especially the Poles and their hawkish military high command.

The Jewish leaders were not bluffing. The boycott was an act of war not solely in metaphor: it was a means, well crafted, to destroy Germany as a political, social and economic entity. The long term purpose of the Jewish boycott against Germany was to bankrupt her with respect to the reparation payments imposed on Germany after World War I and to keep Germany demilitarized and vulnerable.

The boycott, in fact, was quite crippling to Germany. Jewish scholars such as Edwin Black have reported that, in response to the boycott, German exports were cut by 10 percent, and that many were demanding seizing German assets in foreign countries (Edwin Black, The Transfer Agreement – The Untold Story of the Secret Pact between the Third Reich and Jewish Palestine, New York, 1984).

Placard text: “Germans! Defend yourselves! Don’t shop at Jewish stores!” Photo not part of original TBR article – added by The Scriptorium.

The attacks on Germany did not cease. The worldwide Jewish leadership became ever the more belligerent and worked itself into a frenzy. An International Jewish Boycott Conference was held in Amsterdam to coordinate the ongoing boycott campaign. It was held under the auspices of the self-styled World Jewish Economic Federation, of which famous New York City attorney and longtime political power broker, Samuel Untermyer, was elected president.

Upon returning to the United States in the wake of the conference, Untermyer delivered a speech over WABC Radio (New York), a transcript of which was printed in The New York Times on August 7, 1933.

Untermyer’s inflammatory oratory called for a “sacred war” against Germany, making the flat-out allegation that Germany was engaged in a plan to “exterminate the Jews.” He said (in part):

…Germany [has] been converted from a nation of culture into a veritable hell of cruel and savage beasts.
We owe it not only to our persecuted brethren but to the entire world to now strike in self-defense a blow that will free humanity from a repetition of this incredible outrage….
Now or never must all the nations of the earth make common cause against the… slaughter, starvation and annihilation… fiendish torture, cruelty and persecution that are being inflicted day by day upon these men, women and children….
When the tale is told… the world will confront a picture so fearful in its barbarous cruelty that the hell of war and the alleged Belgian atrocities pale into insignificance as compared to this devilishly, deliberately, cold-bloodedly planned and already partially executed campaign for the extermination of a proud, gentle, loyal, law-abiding people…
The Jews are the aristocrats of the world. From time immemorial they have been persecuted and have seen their persecutors come and go. They alone have survived. And so will history repeat itself, but that furnishes no reason why we should permit this reversion of a once great nation to the Dark Ages or fail to rescue these 600,000 human souls from the tortures of hell….
…What we are proposing and have already gone far toward doing, is to prosecute a purely defensive economic boycott that will undermine the Hitler regime and bring the German people to their senses by destroying their export trade on which their very existence depends.
…We propose to and are organizing world opinion to express itself in the only way Germany can be made to understand….

Untermyer then proceeded to provide his listeners with a wholly fraudulent history of the circumstances of the German boycott and how it originated. He also proclaimed that the Germans were bent on a plan to “exterminate the Jews”:

The Hitler regime originated and are fiendishly prosecuting their boycott to exterminate the Jews by placarding Jewish shops, warning Germans against dealing with them, by imprisoning Jewish shopkeepers and parading them through the streets by the hundreds under guard of Nazi troops for the sole crime of being Jews, by ejecting them from the learned professions in which many of them had attained eminence, by excluding their children from the schools, their men from the labor unions, closing against them every avenue of livelihood, locking them in vile concentration camps and starving and torturing them without cause and resorting to every other conceivable form of torture, inhuman beyond conception, until suicide has become their only means of escape, and all solely because they are or their remote ancestors were Jews, and all with the avowed object of exterminating them.

Untermyer concluded his largely fantastic and hysterical address by declaring that with the support of “Christian friends… we will drive the last nail in the coffin of bigotry and fanaticism….”

That his allegations against Germany were made long before even Jewish historians today claim there were any gas chambers or even a plan to “exterminate” the Jews, displays the nature of the propaganda campaign confronting Germany.

However, during this same period there were some unusual developments at work: The spring of 1933 also witnessed the beginning of a period of private cooperation between the German government and the Zionist movement in Germany and Palestine (and actually worldwide) to increase the flow of German-Jewish immigrants and capital to Palestine.

The modern-day supporters of Zionist Israel and many historians have succeeded in keeping this Nazi-Zionist pact a secret to the general public for decades and while most Americans have no concept of the possibility that there could have been outright collaboration between the Nazi leadership and the founders of what became the state of Israel, the truth has begun to emerge.

Dissident Jewish writer Lenni Brennar’s Zionism In the Age of the Dictators, published by a small press and not given the publicity it deserves by the so-called “mainstream” media (which is otherwise obsessed with the Holocaust era), was perhaps the first major endeavor in this realm.

In response to Brennar and others, the Zionist reaction has usually consisted of declarations that their collaboration with Nazi Germany was undertaken solely to save the lives of Jews. But the collaboration was all the more remarkable because it took place at a time when many Jews and Jewish organizations demanded a boycott of Germany.

To the Zionist leaders, Hitler’s assumption of power held out the possibility of a flow of immigrants to Palestine. Previously, the majority of German Jews, who identified themselves as Germans, had little sympathy with the Zionist cause of promoting the ingathering of world Jewry to Palestine. But the Zionists saw that only the anti-Semitic Hitler was likely to push the anti-Zionist German Jews into the arms of Zionism.

For all the modern-day wailing by worldwide supporters of Israel (not to mention the Israelis themselves) about “the Holocaust”, they neglect to mention that making the situation in Germany as uncomfortable for the Jews as possible – in cooperation with German National Socialism – was part of the plan.

This was the genesis of the so-called Transfer Agreement, the agreement between Zionist Jews and the National Socialist government to transfer German Jewry to Palestine.

According to Jewish historian Walter Laqueur and many others, German Jews were far from convinced that immigration to Palestine was the answer. Furthermore, although the majority of German Jews refused to consider the Zionists as their political leaders, it is clear that Hitler protected and cooperated with the Zionists for the purposes of implementing the final solution: the mass transfer of Jews to the Middle East.

Edwin Black, in his massive tome The Transfer Agreement (Macmillan, 1984), stated that although most Jews did not want to flee to Palestine at all, due to the Zionist movement’s influence within Nazi Germany a Jew’s best chance of getting out of Germany was by emigrating to Palestine. In other words, the Transfer Agreement itself mandated that Jewish capital could only to go Palestine.

Thus, according to the Zionists, a Jew could leave Germany only if he went to the Levant.

The primary difficulty with the Transfer Agreement (or even the idea of such an agreement) was that the English [!!!; Scriptorium] were demanding, as a condition of immigration, that each immigrant pay 1,000 pounds sterling upon arrival in Haifa or elsewhere. The difficulty was that such hard currency was nearly impossible to come by in a cash-strapped and radically inflationary Germany. This was the main idea behind the final Transfer Agreement. Laqueur writes:

A large German bank would freeze funds paid in by immigrants in blocked accounts for German exporters, while a bank in Palestine would control the sale of German goods to Palestine, thereby providing the immigrants with the necessary foreign currency on the spot. Sam Cohen, co-owner of Hanoaiah Ltd. and initiator of the transfer endeavors, was however subjected to long-lasting objections from his own people and finally had to concede that such a transfer agreement could only be concluded on a much higher level with a bank of its own rather than that of a private company. The renowned Anglo-Palestine Bank in London would be included in this transfer deal and create a trust company for [this] purpose.

Of course, this is of major historical importance in dealing with the relationship between Zionism and National Socialism in Germany in the 1930s. The relationship was not one merely of mutual interest and political favoritism on the part of Hitler, but a close financial relationship with German banking families and financial institutions as well. Black writes:

It was one thing for the Zionists to subvert the anti-Nazi boycott. Zionism needed to transfer out the capital of German Jews, and merchandise was the only available medium. But soon Zionist leaders understood that the success of the future Jewish Palestinian economy would be inextricably bound up with the survival of the Nazi economy. So the Zionist leadership was compelled to go further. The German economy would have to be safeguarded, stabilized, and if necessary reinforced. Hence, the Nazi party and the Zionist organizers shared a common stake in the recovery of Germany.

Thus one sees a radical fissure in world Jewry around 1933 and beyond. There were, first, the non-Zionist Jews (specifically the World Jewish Congress founded in 1933), who, on the one hand, demanded the boycott and eventual destruction of Germany. Black notes that many of these people were not just in New York and Amsterdam, but a major source for this also came from Palestine proper.

On the other hand, one can see the judicious use of such feelings by the Zionists for the sake of eventual resettlement in Palestine. In other words, it can be said (and Black does hint at this) that Zionism believed that, since Jews would be moving to the Levant, capital flight would be necessary for any new economy to function.

The result was the understanding that Zionism would have to ally itself with National Socialism, so that the German government would not impede the flow of Jewish capital out of the country.

It served the Zionist interests at the time that Jews be loud in their denunciations of German practices against the Jews to scare them into the Levant, but, on the other hand, Laqueur states that “The Zionists became motivated not to jeopardize the German economy or currency.” In other words, the Zionist leadership of the Jewish Diaspora was one of subterfuge and underhandedness, with only the advent of German hostility towards Jewry convincing the world’s Jews that immigration was the only escape.

The fact is that the ultimate establishment of the state of Israel was based on fraud. The Zionists did not represent anything more than a small minority of German Jews in 1933.

On the one hand, the Zionist fathers of Israel wanted loud denunciations of Germany’s “cruelties” to the world’s Jews while at the same time demanding moderation so that the National Socialist government would remain stable, financially and politically. Thus Zionism boycotted the boycott.

For all intents and purposes, the National Socialist government was the best thing to happen to Zionism in its history, for it “proved” to many Jews that Europeans were irredeemably anti-Jewish and that Palestine was the only answer: Zionism came to represent the overwhelming majority of Jews solely by trickery and cooperation with Adolf Hitler.

For the Zionists, both the denunciations of German policies towards Jews (to keep Jews frightened), plus the reinvigoration of the German economy (for the sake of final resettlement) was imperative for the Zionist movement. Ironically, today the Zionist leaders of Israel complain bitterly about the horrific and inhuman regime of the National Socialists. So the fraud continues.

What Is The One Subject We Are NOT Allowed To Discuss? ~ Damned If I Do And Damned If I Don’t

Written by Jeff Prager

It isn’t abortion. It isn’t illegal immigration. No, it isn’t sex either. No, it isn’t health problems, it isn’t personal finance and it isn’t marriage or anything like that. It’s not crime, fraud, war or racism. It isn’t 9/11 and it isn’t Kennedy’s death. It also isn’t Martin Luther Kings death. None of those things. We, as adults, are allowed to ask questions about all of them. Well, maybe not 9/11 but we still discuss it openly.

We are not allowed to question the Holocaust and the 6 million Jews that were killed. NO Questions allowed. WE know the facts.

OR do we?

I was born a Jew. An Ashkenazi Jew, a Khazar. I had, as a child, very elderly relatives with numbers tattooed on their upper arms. A dozen of them. So I have EVERY RIGHT to ask questions and of course I was certain that I would confirm everything I had been taught in my very American schooling. I was wrong. I confirmed NOTHING and found a wealth of evidence that discredits the mainstream perspective so much so that it appears that at this point a Holocaust as it’s described historically just NEVER happened.

I know, I can hear you, call me a Holocaust denier. It’s OK. I can handle it. I prefer exhaustive research and the truth as opposed to living a lie. I also realize it’s difficult, virtually impossible, to admit to oneself that you may have been deceived on such a grand scale. It hurts, quite frankly. I know.

So, rather then go into great detail I’m going to leave it to you to investigate this yourself by providing many links described below. But before I do that I want to point out a few things for everyone, especially for those that may have visited Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, or Treblinka.

The evidence I have used and examined is from trial testimony, photographs, investigations by Jewish authors and testimony from military personnel and civilians that were there. This information is NOT easy to find because no one wants you to find it but thanks to the internet it is available.

Everything below is TRUE. Here is just a SMALL portion of what I’ve found. A VERY SMALL PORTION.

There was NEVER an order from Hitler to exterminate the Jews.

World Jewry declared war on Hitler well before there were any wars and they did this publicly in Newspapers and with Boycotts and Rallies to prevent people globally from buying anything made in Germany. This was done while the US was still supporting German commerce and business through our banks and financial institutions. The Zionists DID NOT support this Boycott.

Auschwitz had a large outdoor swimming pool INSIDE the prisoners quarters, the prisoners played soccer, put on shows in the theater and had stores of various types. There was even a brothel located INSIDE the prisoners quarters, inside the fenced in housing area. The prisoners were afforded a half hour for lunch and worked 8 hours each day. They bought jellies, jams, stamps, cards and paper at a kanteen.

During the war prisoners in concentration camps received 1700 calories a day in rations or meals, far greater then the average 700 calories a day the German people were able to get. Food was scarce but these prison camps weren’t Concentration Camps, they were Work Camps and the German War Machine required a huge wealth of human labor and they had every reason to preserve life.

To prevent disease the Germans fumigated the shoes, bedding, mattresses and clothing of prisoners regularly with Zyclon-B, a cyanide gas used in Britain and America for the very same purpose.

It was only towards the end of the war that food became scarce and that’s why we’ve all seen pictures of very skinny emaciated prisoners. Also towards the end of the war prisoners were not cared for quite as well and diseases began to spread as a result of fleas and other infestations.

The pictures we’ve all seen of the many bodies piled in makeshift gullies are prisoners that died of disease and hunger, not prisoners that were tortured or murdered. These bodies piled up faster then they could be disposed of and they were routinely placed in ditches and burned to prevent the spread of Typhus and other communicable diseases.

The entire theme of soap, lampshades and other things “made from Jewish prisoners” was proven to be a totally fabricated story and none of this is true. It just never happened.

The plaque on display at the Auschwitz camp until 1989 noted “4 million” victims. The plaque currently on display at Auschwitz (2002) was suddenly reduced and the number of victims is now 1.5 million – a casual reduction in the number of deaths by 2.5 million which never appeared in the American “free press.”

I’ve checked out Churchill’s Second World War and not a single mention of Nazi ‘gas chambers,’ a ‘genocide’ of the Jews, or of ‘six million’ Jewish victims of the war. This is astonishing. How can it be explained? Eisenhower’s Crusade in Europe is a book of 559 pages; the six volumes of Churchill’s Second World War total 4,448 pages; and de Gaulle’s three-volume M?©moires de guerre is 2,054 pages. In this mass of writing, which altogether totals 7,061 pages (not including the introductory parts), published from 1948 to 1959, one will find no mention either of Nazi ‘gas chambers,’ a ‘genocide’ of the Jews, or of ‘six million’ Jewish victims of the war.
Richard Lynn, Professor Emeritus,
University of Ulster, December 5, 2005

What about the population of Jews? Per World Almanac figures, it INCREASED by 584,549 between 1941 and 1948. So, this being the case, where did the 6,000,000 dead go?

All world almanacs show that during WWII the number of Jews in Europe remained flat, but Britannica Book of the Year reports that the number of Jews in the world increased by 600,000, or 4%. How could 6 million Jews (40% of all Jews and 64% of those in Europe) have died in the Holocaust if their worldwide population increased by 4%?

Each year for decades, tens of thousands of visitors to Auschwitz have been shown an execution “gas chamber” in the main camp, supposedly in its “original state.” In January 1995 the prestigious French weekly magazine L’Express acknowledged that “everything” about this “gas chamber” is “false,” and that it is in fact a deceitful postwar reconstruction but the American media said nothing about this.

Many thousands of secret German wartime documents dealing with Auschwitz were confiscated after the war by the Allies. But not a single one refers to a policy or program of extermination. In fact, the familiar Auschwitz extermination story cannot be reconciled with the documentary evidence.

It is often claimed that all Jews at Auschwitz who were unable to work were immediately killed. Jews who were too old, young, sick, or weak were supposedly gassed on arrival, and only those who could be worked to death were temporarily kept alive.

But the evidence shows otherwise. In fact, a very high percentage of the Jewish inmates were not able to work, and were nevertheless not killed. For example, an internal German telex message dated Sept. 4, 1943, from the chief of the Labor Allocation department of the SS Economic and Administrative Main Office (WVHA), reported that of 25,000 Jews held in Auschwitz, only 3,581 were able to work, and that all of the remaining Jewish inmates — some 21,500, or about 86 percent — were unable to work.

This is also confirmed in a secret report dated April 5, 1944, on “security measures in Auschwitz” by Oswald Pohl, head of the SS concentration camp system, to SS chief Heinrich Himmler. Pohl reported that there was a total of 67,000 inmates in the entire Auschwitz camp complex, of whom 18,000 were hospitalized or disabled. In the Auschwitz II camp (Birkenau), supposedly the main extermination center, there were 36,000 inmates, mostly female, of whom “approximately 15,000 are unable to work.”

The evidence shows that Auschwitz-Birkenau was established primarily as a camp for Jews who were not able to work, including the sick and elderly, as well as for those who were temporarily awaiting assignment to other camps. That is the considered view of Dr. Arthur Butz of Northwestern University, who also says that this was an important reason for the unusually high death rate there.

Jewish scholar Arno Mayer, a professor of history at Princeton University, acknowledges in his 1988 book about the “final solution” that more Jews perished at Auschwitz as a result of typhus and other “natural” causes than were executed.

THERE IS SO MUCH MORE!

Now, there is A LOT of data to read and several videos to watch that have led me to these conclusions so if you intend to argue with me I would suggest you examine the very same data that I have. Personally, I believe we all owe it to ourselves to do so, rather then just accept a part of history that may not be true. How many of you know that George Washington NEVER chopped down a Cherry Tree? There are MANY episodes throughout history that we take for granted because, well just because we do. And there are many instances where these episodes were conjured up as propaganda, took on a life of their own and became history when in fact they are not. If we are to hold an opinion that something happened as severe as the Holocaust are we not fully responsible to investigate the data to be sure it’s true?

I’m saying that the Holocaust didn’t happen the way I’ve been taught, that most of the deaths were from diseases and starvation because allied bombing prevented commerce and food was severely rationed. I’m saying that towards the end of the war bodies piled up far more quickly then they could be disposed of and that they were hurriedly disposed of in ditches and burned to prevent the further spread of disease. I’m saying that I don’t like being lied to and this myth has been used to extract millions of dollars from Western and European Countries.

I’m saying the truth comes with a burden and that it’s as heartbreaking as the lies, maybe more so. There are many more links. I’ll leave it to you, the reader, to find them.

The truth is NOT elusive, it’s just not discussed.

American Freedom Activists Kidnapped, Beaten, Maimed, and Killed by Israelis

(Written by Christopher Bollyn)

Updated June 7, 2010

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know the good from the evil.
- Jesus Christ, Sermon on the Mount

American Kenneth O’Keefe was beaten savagely by Israeli agents.  O’Keefe, a Gulf War veteran and Defender of M/V Mavi Marmara – was among the 600 people kidnapped by the Israeli military when their vessel was illegally hijacked by Ehud Barak’s forces in international waters.  How will Obama respond to this latest Israeli outrage against American citizens on the high seas?  When will the international community issue arrest warrants for the Israeli terrorists Ehud Barak and Benjamin Netanyahu?

I remember being asked during the TJP Human Shield Action to Iraq if I was a pacifist, I responded with a quote from Gandhi by saying I am not a passive anything. To the contrary I believe in action, and I also believe in self-defence, 100%, without reservation. I would be incapable of standing by while a tyrant murders my family, and the attack on the Mavri Mamara was like an attack on my Palestinian family. I am proud to have stood shoulder to shoulder with those who refused to let a rogue Israeli military exert their will without a fight. And yes, we fought…

O’Keefe on his arrival in Istanbul airport

I would especially love to debate with any Israeli leader who accuses us of wrongdoing, it would be my tremendous pleasure to face off with you. All I saw in Israel was cowards with guns, so I am ripe to see you in a new context. I want to debate with you on the largest stage possible. Take that as an open challenge and let us see just how brave Israeli leaders are…

No matter how vile and wrong the Israeli agents and government are, they are still my brothers and sisters and for now I only have pity for them. Because they are relinquishing the most precious thing a human being has, their humanity.
- Kenneth O’Keefe in Defenders of Mavi Marmara

Participating in the Freedom Flotilla is like a family reunion to me. It is my long lost family whose conscience is their guide, who have shed the fear, who act with humanity.
- Kenneth O’Keefe, June 5, 2010

Moses breaking the tablet of the Ten Commandments
And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
- Exodus 32:19

I am speaking to them in their own language. The sixth commandment says ‘thou shalt not kill’. Did you not understand?”
- Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan in a televised speech.

“Turkey will never forget such an attack on its ships and its people in international waters. Turkey’s ties with Israel will never be the same again.”
- Abdullah Gul, President of Turkey

M/V Rachel Corrie HEADING FOR GAZA

Despite the violent incident on May 31, another aid ship is currently on its way to Gaza.  The Irish-owned M/V Rachel Corrie, carrying Nobel peace laureate Mairéad Corrigan-Maguire and former UN official Denis Halliday, is expected to hit the Israel-imposed exclusion zone by Saturday morning. M/V Rachel Corrie, a vessel named after the 23-year-old American girl killed in Gaza in 2003, is still bound for Gaza.

The Rachel Corrie, an Irish ship planning to break Israel’s blockade on Gaza was reported early Saturday to be sailing along the North African coast and had recently passed Alexandria in Egypt.

According to the report on Israel Radio, the ship was planning to reach Gaza at 7 AM when it would be visible from the coast, so that any boarding could be filmed.

Early Saturday morning, a spokesman for the Gaza-based welcoming committee told Agence France Presse the Rachel Corrie had been intercepted and all communications with the ship cut.

“Several Israeli boats surrounded them between 30 and 35 miles off Gaza and prevented them from reaching Gaza,” Amjad al-Shawa said after speaking by telephone with passengers on the boat.

In a last communique issued at around 5:38 am (0238 GMT), activist Jenny Graham, who is on board the Rachel Corrie, told organisers the vessel was being approached by two Israeli warships.

Graham said equipment on board had been “jammed by the Israeli navy, and that they expected their satellite phone to be jammed soon as well,” the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign said, adding that it was not able to determine the ship’s location when it was intercepted.

Israeli public radio, which also reported that the ship had been intercepted, said it was being escorted by three navy vessels through a stretch of water some 35 miles from the Egyptian coast.

The Rachel Corrie, was delayed due to mechanical problems and is the last ship – the lone survivor - from the original Freedom Flotilla, which was attacked by Israeli commandos on May 31 with heavy loss of life among the peace activists.  Rachel Corrie is carrying desperately needed aid and is still heading for the blockaded 1.5 million Palestinians of the Gaza Strip, despite Israeli proclamations that it will not be allowed to dock. The ship is due to arrive in Gaza at 8 a.m. on Saturday, organisers said today.

M/V Rachel Corrie is expected to reach the blockaded Gaza Strip on Saturday morning

Martin O’Quigley, from the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign, which is working with the Free Gaza Movement, which organised the ship, said he spoke to two people on board at 7.30 a.m. this morning.  “They’re 150 miles from Gaza, and they should be approaching the exclusion zone at 8am tomorrow morning,” O’Quiqley said. “They’re about 80 miles from the previous interception point.”  O’Quigley said he had spoken to both Máiread Maguire, the Nobel peace prize laureate, and Jenny Graham, from the Free Gaza Movement, two of a total of 11 passengers on the ship.

The Rachel Corrie is attempting to defy the Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, who said yesterday that the ship would not be allowed to reach the blockaded area. ”We shall not allow the ships to reach Gaza. Not now and not later on,” the Israeli news website Ynet reporting him as saying.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a Zionist extremist of the Likud, the political party of Menachem Begin and former Irgun terrorists like Yitzhak Shamir.  These are very dangerous people who are utterly amoral in advancing their racist war on humanity.  The massacre of peace activists on the high seas is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Zionist terror.  These are the very people who planned and carried out the false-flag terror of 9-11.

WHAT ISRAEL’S ACT OF PIRACY REVEALS

(Written by Christopher Bollyn)

Badness always manifests in destruction and corruption, while goodness always manifests in preservation and benefit.
- Socrates (469-399 B.C.) in Plato’s Politiea (Republic)

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?  Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.  Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
- Jesus of Nazareth’s Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 7:15-20 (KJV)

The Israeli military assault on the Freedom Flotilla has taken up most of my working hours since May 31.  I have not been able to finish the second part of my article about Israel’s role in the bankrupting of Iceland or respond to my email.  At this point, I just hope the Israelis allow the M/V Rachel Corrie to dock in Gaza and deliver the much-needed supplies to the suffering people of Gaza.  I hope the Israelis come to their senses and lift their cruel blockade on the 1.5 million people of Gaza and allow them to live like human beings.  Will they allow Rachel Corrie to reach Gaza?  Time will tell.

The above quotations from Socrates and Jesus are fundamental truths that have been part of human history since Socrates first uttered these words some 400 years before Christ was born.  These two expressions of this basic truth are really what my efforts are all about.

Having lived in Israel and the Middle East, and having studied the Israeli-Palestinian problem for decades, I came to understand the nature of the state of Israel through having lived with Israelis and Palestinians.  I learned about Zionism and Israel through my first-hand experiences with the people, and by having read a great deal about current events and Zionist history.

What I learned about the state of Israel is that it is an amoral criminal state.  The history of Zionist terrorism indicates that it always has been, even prior to the establishment of the state of Israel.  When I lived among Israelis I remember that they often used the word “pragmatic”, which I found rather odd.  I now know why they used this word so often.  It was part of their education and defines their worldview.  Zionist children are taught to be pragmatic.  Questions of morality are not to interfere with their actions – and they don’t. Zionists are not immoral; they are amoral.

Nothing good will come out of Israel because it is a state like a corrupt tree that produces only evil fruit.  This should be abundantly clear to anyone who has read newspapers and followed world events since 1982, when Israel launched its invasion of Lebanon which took the lives of some 30,000 civilians.  There is a very rare large format book called Eyewitness Lebanon – Evidence of 91 international correspondents (Morris International, 1983) that contains shocking photographs from news photographers who covered the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

Eyewitness Lebanon – An essential book to understanding Zionism

I have never seen this book, which is published in the English language, in the United States.  The photographs in this book are evidence of a whole raft of Israeli war crimes, none of which has ever been prosecuted.  One, for example, shows the Israelis arresting all the doctors and nurses from the hospitals of Beirut – so they would not treat the thousands of wounded.

The Israeli crimes in Lebanon were the first fruits of the Likudniks that came to power when arch-terrorist Menachem Begin became prime minister in the 1970s.  The coming to power of the extreme rightwing Likud party was a fundamental change in Israeli politics.  The Likud was the political party of the former terrorists of the Irgun, which Begin commanded in the 1940s.  These are Zionists who are completely amoral.

Begin was a criminal in the Soviet Union before he came to Palestine.

They are willing to employ any tactic, and prefer violence and terrorism, to achieve their strategic goal, which is basically a Jew-only fortress state occupying most of the Middle East.  The favorite element of the Likudniks is iron, which they use to name many of their operations, e.g. Iron Fist, Iron Brain, and Iron Wall.  The Iron Wall was what the founder of the Likud, Vladimir Jabotinsky, called for to separate the Jewish settlers from the native Palestinians.  Ariel Sharon, a disciple of Jabotinsky, saw to it that the wall was built.

Menachem Begin supervised the terror bombing of the King David Hotel in 1946.  These are the same people who carried out the false-flag terror attacks of 9-11.

This is the faction of Zionist terrorists that runs Israel today, as it has since 1977.  Benny Begin, son of Menachem, is at the top of the Israeli government along with the sons and daughters of the Zionist terrorists who created the state of Israel in the 1940s.  Bibi Netanyahu, for example, is the son of the head of Jabotinsky’s New Zionist Organization.  For these people war and terrorism is the desired state.  Peace is neither wanted nor desired.

The sons of terrorists, Benny Begin and Bibi Netanyahu, are now running Israel.

This is the real reason that Israel attacked the ships of the Freedom Flotilla killing many of the peace activists.  This is why there is never any movement in the so-called “peace process.”  The Israeli government doesn’t want peace.  This is why, whenever Israel is pushed to make concessions for peace and feels cornered by the international community, it reacts with acts of brutal amoral violence.  This is what they have always done.  The attacks on the Freedom Flotilla are just the latest manifestations of this most predictable Zionist reaction.
