Former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl agrees that Holocaust a myth http://www.iranfocus.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=6086
Quote : | "Iran: Helmut Kohl agrees with Ahmadinejad on Holocaust
Mon. 06 Mar 2006 Iran Focus
Tehran, Iran, Mar. 06 – Former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl reportedly told Iranian businessmen in Germany that he agreed with statements by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that the Holocaust was a “myth”, the semi-official Jomhouri Islami reported on Monday.
The government-owned daily wrote that at a dinner gala with Iranian hoteliers and entrepreneurs, Kohl said that he “heartily agreed” with Ahmadinejad’s remarks about the Holocaust.
“What Ahmadinejad said about the Holocaust was in our bosoms”, the former German chancellor was quoted as saying. “For years we wanted to say this, but we did not have the courage to speak out”.
Ahmadinejad caused an international furore last year when he publicly declared that the Holocaust was a “myth” and threatened that Israel must be “wiped off the map”.
His comments were supported by senior Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and former president Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.
The country’s state-run media have systematically defended the position of the Iranian president and given extensive coverage to historians and “experts” who deny the Holocaust took place." |

What better way to gain support than to give "factual" reasons why Israel should not be a recognized state - do you understand the Islamic sentiment regarding Palestine?

That's clear. Now would you acknowledge that the Zionists and Neo-cons are lying about Iran's nuclear power program to try to create the pretext for a war against Iran? (just like they lied about Iraq's mythical wmd threat)
Why do you believe the Zionists and Neo-cons when they try to drum up support for another war? Didn't they already deliberately lie to trick us into war with Iraq? So why believe them when they say that Iran is trying to get WMDs?
I find that Iran is far more credible than the Zionists, Neo-cons, and the Zionist-controlled media and Hollywood.

Well, I don't see how it's "wrong" at all. Bringing up seperate subjects is natural in any debate or discussion (eg, to use as analogies...as I did above). Especially if those subjects are related to the initial topic. I started this thread, and I'm not trying to take the discussion off onto a tangent. The same goes for other threads I posted in prior to my current restrictions. I was not trying to "hijack" threads or "mess them up." I brought up the subjects because they were related to the initial discussion, and contributed to the discussion by aiding in the understanding of the subject.
Quote : | "and you still haven't answered WHY THIS MATTERS AT ALL" |
That's a lie. First off, I've made it absolutely clear why it matters (from the initial post of the thread). Then, in response to questions from others I've repeated why it matters.

I am going to have to disregard the info you posted from iranfocus.com - sorry, but I'm not buying Iran's government owned "news" website as a reliable resource for information. If Kohl truly felt that way I am surprised he allowed the party he controlled to begin planning the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin (do some research on that if you'd like).
Do you have any other resources proving the Holocaust was a "myth"? It'd be great if you had any resources that didn't come from http://www.kkkoogle.com or whatever you're using to do research. Thanks 3/6/2006 1:43:50 PM |

There are several alternative media sources with information and evidence related to the falsities in the official Holocaust story. And there are millions of people in the U.S. and Europe...and hundreds of millions in the Islamic world who know that the official Holocaust story is false. Just because practically all we hear from the western mainstream media, Hollywood, and western academia is the "official" version on the Holocaust does not mean it is true. There are MANY people who have a different view.
Quote : | "that may make it matter to crazy ass people like yourself

So, I'm "crazy ass" for actually caring who the real Israelites are? And what about all the millions of people (including evangelical Christians) who think that the Jews are the real Israelites? Does this issue not matter to them? Of course it does (even though they are wrong in their belief of who the real Israelites are).
Is calling people "crazy ass" your substitute for a rational discussion? How about informing us using reason and logic why virtually no one cares about who the real Israelites are?

Are you telling me there isn't a significant number of evangelical Christians who believe the Jews are the descendants of the Israelites? This is what 99% of the preachers in the mainstream churches teach. And isn't this why many of these Christians strongly support the Jews in their ongoing struggle with the Palestinians over the land in Palestine? The Jews being descendants of the Israelites (though incorrect) is the primary reason for believing the Jews have a right to the land.
Quote : | "I am now basing my opinion of the Holocaust only on what I have seen.

I haven't been to the camps as you apparantly have. But even if I had been there, it would have been around 50-60 years after the alleged events occured. Most of the physical evidence has been lost. And the camps could have been modified to support the story put forth by the Allies.
How about thinking about this in common sense terms? Why would the Germans transport millions (supposedly) of Jews (and non-Jews) to camps just to kill them? Why go through all that trouble when you could just execute the people on the spot? Why go though all the expense of transporting them and feeding and housing them if just to kill them? And then to kill them by using gas chambers? That would be very expensive, complicated, and more difficult than a bullet to the back of the head. Why do it that way? IT MAKES NO SENSE.
Those camps were slave labor camps. The people were brought there to work as slave laborers and make goods for the war effort. They were not extermination camps.

Use of the word "primary" implies another reason (or other reasons) exist.
I realize the United Nations played a role in the creation of Israel, and that there are legal reasons for the Jewish state's existance. But my point is that many Christians believe the Jews have the right to the land because they believe that the Jews are the descendants of the Israelites.3/6/2006 2:29:59 PM |

I've seen BOTH sides of the argument. And what you call "legitimate" (ie, mainstream) sources are not necessarily, in fact, legitimate. A mainstream source is "mainstream" only because it is most popular. But that doesn't mean they are right or correct in their claims or viewpoints.
Quote : | "Why don't you actually stop to consider the real evidence, instead of brushing it aside as zionist propoganda?" |
The "real" evidence, according to you, is whatever the mainstream media and the information gatekeepers at CNN, NBC, ABC, Hollywood, etc. are spouting. And anyone who's not affiliated with these "mainstream" sources is automatically "illegitimate" according to you.
Quote : | "I just consider you an ill informed conspiracy theorist" |
Oh, no! Not the "conspiracy theorist" label! You do realize how pathetic it is to use of that term in the attempt to discredit an unpopular viewpoint? I guess not. For instance, 9/11 is a conspiracy either way you look at it. Either it was a conspiracy by 19 guys and an evil genius from a cave, or it was a conspiracy from some other group (possibly a criminal element in the government). Now, it's only a matter of which "conspiracy theory" you are going to believe. The government's "conspiracy theory", or another.

How about thinking about this in common sense terms? - Ok.
Why would the Germans transport millions (supposedly) of Jews (and non-Jews) to camps just to kill them? - Because killing them in the streets of Berlin and Munich was not the image the Nazis wanted to put forth.
Why go through all that trouble when you could just execute the people on the spot? See above.
Why go though all the expense of transporting them and feeding and housing them if just to kill them? - I really feel like that was answered above - they needed the German public to believe that the outcasts were going to "labor" camps. That was acceptable, killing them in the streets was not or the Nazis wouldn't have minded.
And then to kill them by using gas chambers? That would be very expensive, complicated, and more difficult than a bullet to the back of the head. Why do it that way? - Killing up to 400 people at once with toxic pesticides that are manufactured in your own country isn't cheaper than the bullets needed for war? There is also less of a chance for riots/resistance when you are killing in mass. Would you stand in line knowing you were the next to be shot? I would be kicking someone's ass, as would the other 399 people in line.

There you go repeating the things I say. Stellar work there Mr. Joshua.
Quote : | "Who has a better track record: mainstream or alternative sources?" |
The alternative sources. And thanks for bringing up that point.
But keep in mind that you can't lump all "alternative" sources together because clearly there are some good alternative sources, and there are many bad ones. When I speak of these "alternative" sources, I'm referring to the good ones, such as infowars.com and whatreallyhappened.com.
Classic examples of this gap in credibility is how the "mainstream" press and media continue to lie and cover-up the truth surrounding government involvement in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and the 9/11 attacks. The evidence is overwhelming in both cases, and proves with 100% certainty that the government was involved in both cases and is lying about what really happened. After looking at the evidence, there is no debating this.
Now, consider the implications given that the mainstream media is actively involved in covering up the truth on these 2 government-sponsored terror events. This is a HUGE betrayal of trust. It completely destroys any credibility one may have in the "mainstream" media (or at least until they come clean and expose the truth...the likelihood of which is slim to none).
Sources like infowars.com and whatreallyhappened.com, on the other hand, are actively exposing the truth about these monumental events. They have demonstrated themselves to be real journalists by reporting the entire truth, as opposed to lying and covering up the truth.
9/11 and Oklahoma City are just 2 excellent examples. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of other issues and topics where the MSM is lying, covering up the truth, suppressing information, not telling the whole truth, etc.3/6/2006 4:15:38 PM |

They just pretend to be different. It's just like with the Republicans and the Democrats. They masquerade as opposing parties, but putting all the phony rhetoic aside, the parties are really the same and advancing the same agenda. Both parties are bought and paid for by the corporate/establishment/elite. Deep down, virtually everybody of above average intelligence who's paying attention knows this. That's why the Republicans are advancing a big government agenda, spending way out of control, and doing nothing about illegal immigration (no, proposing amnesty for illegal aliens). And that's why the Democrats are really supporting the Iraq War, and are not mounting a real opposition to the Bush Administration (even over clearly impeachable offenses like deliberately lying to trick us to war and spying in violation of the law and Constitution).
As for FOXNews (supposed right) and CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC (supposed left), it's the same thing. Now, I suspect there are more openly "leftist" news sources because the democrats and the left are the party that openly promotes the elite agenda on social issues (ie, pro-homosexuality, pro-abortion, anti-gun rights, pro-illegal immigration, etc.). And notice that all of the networks are, in effect, cheerleaders for the Iraq war and the "war on terror." None seriously challenge the government on the Iraq War and the War on Terror (such as should have occured on the lies about Iraq having WMDs, and with the Downing Street Memo, open support and use of torture, etc). And I'm talking about serious challenges, not fluff rhetoric acknowledging it and pretending to oppose it. If they were really challenging the government, they would be harping on that stuff like gangbusters virtually nonstop and making a lot of noise. When the media wants to make a big deal out of an issue, they clearly know how to do it. But no, they make a bigger deal of some shmuck from Oprah's book club fudging the facts about his book than the President lying to trick us into war. And the Downing Street Memo (of monumental importance) was buried here in the U.S. media after a few token mentions of it.

So the elite run everything, but they fund one half of their force to promote their agenda, and they fund the other half of their forces to work against their agenda? I think they might be funding their opposition half of their forces a little too much... because they've succeeded in having real opposition to gay marriage even though pro-homosexuality is actually want the people who run fox want.

I'm not convinced of this. I think either you are wrong about everything, or that the elite left-right alliance is succeeding in confusing even the above average intelligence people. Either way, it seems like a bad thing for you.3/6/2006 4:38:31 PM |

In the case of the Republicans and the Democrats (or the mainstream media), both sides work to advance the elite agenda. Generally speaking, the democrats openly promote the elite agenda on social issues (eg, promoting abortion, gun-control, illegal immigration, etc.). Then the Repubicans openly promote the elite agenda on other issues (eg, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, police state legislation gutting our freedoms, etc.). But that's only talking about appearances and who's openly promoting those things. Because, in reality, both parties (though sometimes secretly) are working to advance all these elite goals. So, for example, the Democrats pretend (via fluff phony rhetoric) to oppose the war in Iraq, the Patriot Act, or the domestic spying. But, in reality, they have been voting in favor of the war. And now democrats like even Hillary Clinton and John Kerry openly talk of how they support the Iraq War. Before long, some of them will probably even say they support the domestic spying (ooops, I mean "domestic surveillance"). And most of them voted for the Patriot Act, and it is going to be extended. So, both parties are supporting this agenda.

It takes time on certain issues, but given the right amount of time, the elite can easily manipulate public opinion on issues via the power of the MSM. And, if they wish, they will just totally ignore public opinion and do whatever they want (as they have with illegal immigration when around 90% of Americans oppose illegal immigration).
As for the homosexual agenda....despite the opposition, the homosexual agenda steamrolls forward. No one can seriously deny that. The homosexual movement continues to gain momentum and victories in the courts and legislatures (eg, hate-crime legislation, civil unions, gay marriage legalized in some states, etc.). It's this way with so many other "liberal" issues. The courts will ram the "liberal" agenda down Americans' throats whether they support it or not. And notice that those judges handing down those "liberal" verdicts are both republican and democrats appointees.

How about thinking about this in common sense terms? - Ok.
Why would the Germans transport millions (supposedly) of Jews (and non-Jews) to camps just to kill them? - Because killing them in the streets of Berlin and Munich was not the image the Nazis wanted to put forth.
Why go through all that trouble when you could just execute the people on the spot? See above.
Why go though all the expense of transporting them and feeding and housing them if just to kill them? - I really feel like that was answered above - they needed the German public to believe that the outcasts were going to "labor" camps. That was acceptable, killing them in the streets was not or the Nazis wouldn't have minded.
And then to kill them by using gas chambers? That would be very expensive, complicated, and more difficult than a bullet to the back of the head. Why do it that way? - Killing up to 400 people at once with toxic pesticides that are manufactured in your own country isn't cheaper than the bullets needed for war? There is also less of a chance for riots/resistance when you are killing in mass. Would you stand in line knowing you were the next to be shot? I would be kicking someone's ass, as would the other 399 people in line.

^^So is it just that the elites tactics are bad, or is it that some of their ideas are bad, or is it the case that the elite who are smart enough to secretly control the left & right actually are exactly wrong on every issue? 3/6/2006 5:37:22 PM |
