JamesB Very excellent use of highlighting 'half' of the resouces that William's used. I suspected you would do this to fit your agenda: label Williams as an anti-semitie in order to discredit the conference on 9/11. In truth, he is Anti-Zionist, which of course I'm sure you and probably few of your readers realize are totally different catagories of labels.
This is really a very sad state of your blog and speaking of scholarship, a very sad treatise indeed. I hope your professor reads this post because, James, you do the same exact thing you accuse 9/11 truthers of doing and you offer poor scholarship in review of William's work. Of course you did absolutely nothing to discredit the information he used, you simply did the same thing you have done over and over when dealing with 9/11 truthers: you attack the character.
Many other sources you forgot to mention that William's cite's in his book to support his thesis which of course I knew you would not mention at all. You sir are becoming quite the master at propaganda. Are you sure you aren't working for CENTCOM or some other alphabet agency?
Lets examine the other sources of Williams that you purposely left out.
1. You list David Cole but you fail to mention in what context. The context was an interview with the Aushwitz Museum Director.
Strike 1, James. What you should do now is attempt to attack the character of the director of the museum rather than attacking his interviewer. The Director's own statments contradict every 'account' of gassing at Aushwitz and the numbers themselves.
2. The Numberg Trial Logs and especially the confession/s obtained by torture.
3. The Reader's Digest of Feb. 1943 which apparently where the magical number 6 million was first mentioned. A number that most scholars have now listed as a fabrication, including the budding professor, Shawn. But actually began much earlier as shown below.
4.The Leuchter Report: An Engineering Report on the Alleged Execution Gas Chambers at Auschwitz, Birkenau and Majdanek. The author, the foremost expert on Gas Chamber technology in America. Stangely enough you do mention this man, James, but you failed to mention the Krakow Institute and their test results which matched what Leuchter arrived at: minute trace ammounts in the 'gas chambers' but huge ammounts in the delousing chamber. Strage that you failed to mention the Krakow source, James. Why is that? Lack of space on the blog?
4. Of course you failed to mention the ICRC findings and activities that of course mention no mass killings, gas chambers, or systematic killings. An apology 60 years later doesn't change the reports contents. Now that is the conspiracy. Why did the Red Cross cover up this mass killing of Jews for the Germans???
5.The camps tour guides and the maps which leave off parts of the camp including what appears to be a swimming pool,a water treatment facility, and admitted reconstructions.
6. You left out testimony of surviviors that mention no mass killings or death chambers; one also stated water came out of the 'shower heads' instead of gas.
7. You list several 'HD myths' that William's uses but fail to educate us on what those myths are and how William's uses them.
8.The Crucifixion of Jews Must Stop!
By Martin H. Glynn (Former Governor of the State of N.Y.) Who tried to sell the public on 6 million Jewish deaths during WW 1. That didn't take of course.
9. William's spelling? Sure there are a few, but then that is a style over substance fallacy, James, as you are probably aware. Tsk Tsk.
10. There are numerous other sources that are used in his research that James fails to mention because of his agenda; that is fine, it is his blog but it is dishonest and a fraudlent representation of the 'truth'.
Well I could go on but I think you get the gist of my critique of your post.
Do I deny the holocaust? Nope. Anti-Semite? Nope. I don't know any Jews or Arabs for that matter.
Does Williams raise serious questions about Aushwitz? Yep. Do I agree with all of his findings? Nope
But trying to 'link' William's single book on Aushwitz to discredit his conference on 9/11 is sad display of your logic and has been exposed as what it is: Screwloosechange propaganda that has just been debunked.
If you want to impress us all James, don't cherry pick the sources William's uses to support your position as you accuse him of doing. The kettle is black is it not? To get a better grade on your blog, bring to light all of his sources and then support or discredit those sources with your own reasoning.
Happy Superbowl Sunday, and Go Colts!
