...Here’s another parallel with seeking and ‘finding’
evidence for something which is a pre-conceived ‘belief’ that doesn’t permit it’s fundamental premises to be questioned!
SALEM WITCHCRAFT: the Salem trial of alleged WITCHES relied on ‘evidence’ that was PREDOMINANTLY BASED upon the FALSE TESTIMONY and co-ordinated/choreographed group hysteria of allegedly ‘witchcraft afflicted’ girls + their claims about it being because they were controlled by ‘wicked witches’.
Simple, ‘believing’ minds accepted that very real phenomena of group behaviour as ‘proof’ of satanic sorcery.
And presumably the simple-minded girls themselves came to believe their group behaviour the more their peers and the judges did.
This is explained by herd mentality and group confirmity.
The witch trials were based entirely on witness evidence. No physical, documentary or other evidence was introduced to corroborate the claims being made, which is hardly surprising, since the casting of spells and flying on broom sticks are not physically possible.
HOLOCAUST MASS-GASSINGS: The post-war trials of alleged GENOCIDAL NSDAP WAR CRIMINALS relied on ‘evidence’ that was PREDOMINANTLY BASED upon the co-ordinated/choreographed group hysteria of alleged ‘jewish genocide survivors’ + their claims about surviving mass-gassing programmes.
Simple, ‘believing’ minds accepted that very real phenomena as ‘proof’ of wicked Nazis.
And we know many simple-minded jews themselves came to believe their group narrative the more their peers and the post-war judges did. This also to a degree can explained by herd mentality and group confirmity.
That is a common revisionist deception, to suggest there is a lack of documentary, physical and other evidence. In fact, there is a lot, from the Einsatzgruppen Reports, to the documents recovered from Topf & Sons and the Auschwitz Construction Office. Then there is the circumstantial evidence of millions of missing Jews and the physical and archaeological evidence of huge areas of disturbed ground containing cremated human remains, found at the sites where witnesses stated mass graves had been located. Plus, there is evidence of motive and opportunity, from the Final Solution, to AR, T4 and 14f13.
Plus in BOTH cases, there is compelling evidence that accusations were orchestrated by and came predominantly from people who: i.) wanted vengeance for perceived wrongs done against them; ii.) had economic, territorial benefits they were surreptitiously pursuing.
Again, that is a common revisionist deception, since the majority of the evidence to convict the Nazis, came from the Nazis themselves. They provide the largest group of eyewitnesses and the vast majority of documents. The physical evidence comes from camps they established and ran.
In the case of Salem with the very real fear of witches, accusers used the behaviour of the ‘afflicted’ girls and the beliefs of the judges and public to pursue their own self interests.
In the case of the Third Reich and the very real horrific death tolls in concentration camps, accusers also used the behaviour of the ‘afflicted’ jews and the beliefs of the judges and public to pursue their own self interests.
What was notable about the horrific death tolls in the concentration camps was that it primarily affected the Jewish prisoners. They were the ones found so starved, that many died from re-feeding syndrome. The POWs and political prisoners had not suffered like the Jews had. The Nazis, as was their stated policy, regarded the Jews as sub-human, unworthy of life. That action, to sacrifice Jews, was part of the evidence of motive and opportunity.
Then there was the issue of the whereabouts of prisoners. The Nazis could account for the vast majority of POWs. They could not for the vast majority of Jews. Millions had been arrested across Europe, 1939 to 1944, but only a few hundred thousand were liberated. Every country that had been occupied or aligned to the Nazis, was reporting that only a few of their Jewish citizens were returning home. That is strong circumstantial evidence that converges with the claims of mass murder.
The analogy of the trials of the Nazis, many of which were carried out by Germans, with the witch trials fails on almost every point. It gets very repetitive, having been there so many times before with this false analogy.
