Badger Kitten
oof
Do you think millions of people were killed by Nazis in WW2,
yes
or
no?
yes
or
no?
I'm not agreeing with him, let's make that quite clear.
What I what I know about Nick K is that he is no anti-semite. He is a conspiracy theorist.
I am placed in the awkward position of having to comment on someone that I know (although I knew nothing of his interest in WWII). Now if I didn't know him, and quite liked the fellow there'd be nothing making me defend him against this accusation, and for all I would know it could be true. However, I'd be a pretty crap bloke if I didn't speak up for people I know when they need it. And having spent some time with Nick K I've never seen the slightest hint of anti-semitism from him and that charge just doesn't fit with the person I know.
What I 'don't have a problem with' is someone genuinely stating what they believe, however wrong that may be. What I very much DO have a problem with is people wanting laws to suppress challenging viewpoints, again, however wrong. I need hardly point out that that is the way that fascist regimes gain hold of a compliant populace. The way to combat wrong arguments is not by outlawing them. It is with openness. I would like to think that that applies to WWII as much as anywhere else, and that the information there will speak for itself.
Having said that, I'm very disappointed that he's gone off on this, because I don't think it does anyone any favours. Certainly not the 9/11 Truth Movement. It's a highly emotional, loaded topic, and what to gain?

... you see, this is the kind of hysteria I am talking about. A quick search of wikipedia, which BK didn't even bother to do before making her emphatic pronouncements:

going on the evidence yes he doesJazz, care to read my post nr. 568?
Do you think all Nazis on the Nurnberg trial were innocent of what they were accused of, executed because otherwise it would all come out that there was a massive staging going on of a massive lie?
Do you believe every witness who ever witnessed about the horrors, every isngle document and film fragment still existing as witness about it, is only a falsification?
Do you, for example, believe that this evidence and witness loaden documentary I refer to was actually staged fiction and that among others Mengele was playing with an extremely sophisticated doll, acting as if he was torturing a child?
salaam.
Oh fuck off! I am not 'doubting the holocaust'. I am doubting 'facts' that are not facts.
Meanwhile 6m people were murdered.
Fact,and fact. No false claims
... you see, this is the kind of hysteria I am talking about.
Whilst ignoring other equally valid quotes in the same paragraph putting the toll at somewhere between 5 and 6 million.The Yad Vashem Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority in Jerusalem, writes that there is no precise figure for the number of Jews killed.
"no German ever put a Jew into a gas chamber. You call that Holocaust Denial, well I’m proud to be associated with it. I’m happy to defend, it any time, any place. It happens to be true!"
Jazzz, I think there is a simple question with 3 choices a few messages above you need to answer.
I have often read your posts on here over the years, and taken what you say with the usual balance of interest and bemusement. However the latter stages of this thread seem to show you in a very different light. I am confused as to why you suddenly seem to be even questioning the basic historical facts of the Holocaust . Like you, I champion freedom of speech. But some of your recent posts in this thread make me wonder if you have indeed thought carefully about your views and opinions, and your decision to post them in public.
I wonder if you would not be better off spending some time looking into exactly what it is you are currently saying.
Let's be very clear, again:
I am not questioning generally accepted facts about the holocaust
I came onto this thread because people were demanding that I comment, because they knew that I'd had some association with Nick Kollerstrom

It's useful idiots like you who help gain fascists power Jazzz. Idiots like you who help spread their lies and distortions.

Presumably because according to the 7/7 truth movement, I am a a mentally ill liar and according to NK, Jazz's friend, my life is a work of fiction.Then why did you accuse Badger Kitten of "hysteria" when she said "6m people were murdered"?
Jazzz -
Regarding your friend NK's views:
a) he's not a holocaust denier
b) he is, it's his right
c) he is right to deny the holocaust
Time to pick one i think.
Right this thread is getting way, way out of hand. I am taking a break while it calms down.
I'm extremely pissed off at the attempts to suggest that I believe the same as Nick Kollerstrom.
I will endeavour to answer sensible points and questions but I can't carry on like this with a hundred posters twisting everything I say and demanding answers which will then get twisted by another ten posters before my next reply hits.
Goodnight
