Posted in: At least 139 of the Forbes 400 are Jewish

In a capitalist society, Wealth = Power and Influence. According to this analysis, 35% of the wealthiest Americans are Jews, while Jews, according to their own estimates comprise merely 1.7% of the population. This means that Jews are grossly over-represented in the wealthiest category by a factor of over 20 times (35 / 1.7) or 2,000%! This combined with their over-representation in the media and academia makes a convincing argument for their elite status and helps explain their power and influence. When this power and influence is used to advocate policies that are detrimental to the non-Jewish population, it legitimizes a focused analysis of Jewish behavior.

The best reason for playing down Auschwitz is that the official account of “industrialized mass murder” there is so forensically flimsy, confused and contradictory. Not one authentic photograph or film of gas chambers in action, not one German document or decoded intercept unambiguously referring to them being used other than for fumigation, ceaseless rethinking among “respectable” historians about when, whereabouts and how many died that way… no amount of last-ditch lawmaking can prevent this argument breaking out time and again. In 1946 it was deposed at the Nuremberg trials that 4m people were killed at Auschwitz. The official, keep-you-out-of-jail figure gradually came down to 1.6m, then 1.1m, and latterly a German researcher has counted under 500,000 without being hauled into court. So did the late Jean-Claude Pressac. Employed by a French Jewish foundation to refute the objections of those pesky revisionists or “deniers”, he ended up more than half agreeing with them and saying that there was no categorical, final proof of mass gassing, only “criminal traces”, Moreover, because Asia carries no baggage about the Shoah, its young historians will be able to look at this tangle of atrocity stories and garbled rumours with a cold eye. The Auschwitz-Birkenau killing-machine narrative originated among those fearless defenders of truth, the propaganda department of the Red Army. It is time we stopped being intimidated by it and the layers of pseudo-pious kitsch that surround it. And as for Treblinka…Read DEBATING THE HOLOCAUST: A New Look at Both Sides by Thomas Dalton.

FREE Chapters and Contents for New Book: DebatingTheHolocaust com DEBATING THE HOLOCAUST: A New Look At Both Sides by Thomas Dalton, PhD Publisher's Note: This is a non-Revisionist title for Theses & Dissertations Press. It will be the first book on the Holocaust, in publishing history, that will not take a Traditionalist or a Revisionist point of view. Founded in 2000 the publishing company Theses & Dissertations Press is at the center of a worldwide network of scholars and activists who are working -- often at great personal sacrifice -- to separate historical fact from propaganda fiction. The founder of Theses & Dissertations Press is Germar Rudolf. A scientist and an historian, who served prison time for his published works and has been released this past July 4, 2009, after serving 3.5 years for rethinking the Holocaust. He will no longer be associated with Holocaust studies. As the new director of TADP.org, I wish to express my outrage that the Holocaust, unlike any other historical event, is not subject to critical examination. Furthermore I deplore the fact that many so-called democratic states have laws that criminalize an examination and understanding of the Holocaust. It is my position that the veracity of Holocaust assertions should be determined in the marketplace of scholarly discourse and not in our legislatures bodies and courthouses. Peace. Michael Santomauro Editorial Director

As the new director of TADP.org, I wish to express my outrage that the Holocaust, unlike any other historical event, is not subject to critical examination. Furthermore I deplore the fact that many so-called democratic states have laws that criminalize an examination and understanding of the Holocaust or "Rethinking the Holocaust". It is my position that the veracity of Holocaust assertions should be determined in the marketplace of scholarly discourse and not in our legislatures bodies and courthouses. Founded in 2000 the publishing company Theses & Dissertations Press is at the center of a worldwide network of scholars and activists who are working -- often at great personal sacrifice -- to separate historical fact from propaganda fiction. The founder of Theses & Dissertations Press is Germar Rudolf. A scientist and an historian, who is currently serving prison time for his published works and will be released in July 2009, after serving 3.5 years for "Rethinking the Holocaust". He will no longer be associated with Holocaust studies upon his release. Instead, I will with my new published book: DEBATING THE HOLOCAUST: A New Look At Both Sides by Thomas Dalton. As the publisher of this book that "Rethinks the Holocaust" I can not travel to 17 nations that have Holocaust denial laws. ___ Michael Santomauro

Yes - fascinating that this article continues the process of moving the Holocaust story eastwards. Our parents’ generation, with their memories of dramatic postwar newsreels, thought primarily of Belsen and Dachau, and most of them are probably still unaware that even exterminationists have long since abandoned any suggestion of mass gassings there. Our generation has (in a process which began in the early 1960s but intensified from the 1970s) been browbeaten by the image of Auschwitz as the ultimate death factory. Now we must look further east again. Though for our schoolchildren Auschwitz remains at the centre of the legend, scholars are now relying on the Reinhardt camps. Signficantly Snyder talks of bullets, and when he mentions gas it is carbon monoxide not Zyklon B. It is surely significant that a long article by a mainstream scholar headlined Holocaust: The Ignored Reality does not mention at all the traditional image of Zyklon B gas chambers. — Michael Santomauro, Publisher of Amazon's new book: DEBATING THE HOLOCAUST: A New Look At Both Sides by Thomas Dalton
