Re: Revisionism's [Limited?] Role in Modern Politics

Re: maintenance costs, my thinking is that they have various enforcement mechanisms that they use. For example, a good portion of states now require "Holocaust education" as a matter of state law. That sort of thing doesn't just happen. Jewish groups had to lobby the state governments to pass those ...

Re: Revisionism's [Limited?] Role in Modern Politics

The mainstream account of 1941-1945 is absolutely comparable to a major religion: virtually the entire moral foundations of the post-war era depend on it. Remove the mainstream account of 1941-45 and where is the straightforward mainstream defence of post-war liberal democracy and the USA led order ...

Re: Thomas Dalton's identity revealed (by Kevin Barrett) as David Skrbina

Many revisionists have felt that piling up increasingly voluminous and arcane research is a way not really needed and is a way getting side-tracked. Here is Butz (from supplement 1 of his book). (I agree to a point, but still feel there is value in additional research). The dilemma I am delineating ...

Re: Thomas Dalton's identity revealed (by Kevin Barrett) as David Skrbina

One interesting thing about Dalton's trajectory is that he made an effort in Debating the Holocaust (first published in 2009) to be moderate and even-handed. Subsequently his interests broadened to the Third Reich and historical anti-Semitism. By now, he seems to be full on national socialist, a ...

Re: Thomas Dalton's identity revealed (by Kevin Barrett) as David Skrbina

That explains why Dalton the revisionist didn't produce something that seemed very impressive to anti-deniers. I had bracketed him with the many other popularisers and summarisers of the same era (Victor Thorn, Peter Winter, Gerard Menuhin, Nicholas Kollerstrom) since they all seem to have dashed ...

Re: Thomas Dalton's identity revealed (by Kevin Barrett) as David Skrbina

From the SPLC's hit piece, Revealing that Dalton and Skrbina are the same person underscores the importance of exposing those who cloak extremist ideology in academic authority. Unmasking Dalton exposes efforts to lend a facade of legitimacy to white supremacist and Holocaust denial views, a ...

Re: Thomas Dalton's identity revealed (by Kevin Barrett) as David Skrbina

"Now they attempt to connect my name to vile anti-Semitic writings, to white supremacy, and to Holocaust denial." You guys stand for this? Being publicly accused of heresy is a difficult thing, something that neither you nor SanityCheck would understand- being slaves to the dumbest lies imaginable ...

Re: Thomas Dalton's identity revealed (by Kevin Barrett) as David Skrbina

Skimming through Skrbina's book The Jesus Hoax, it is *very* Daltonesque - lots of bullet points, italics, the tone is very similar, and Skrbina also cites Hitler's Mein Kampf from Dalton's edition, as well as Dalton's Debating the Holocaust in one footnote. Skrbina also reviewed Dalton's book The ...

Re: Thomas Dalton's identity revealed (by Kevin Barrett) as David Skrbina

The timing of this, when Skrbina-"Dalton" is 64 going on 65, probably works out well for his publicity work as "Dalton" for Unz and other platforms, and for revisionism, since he will have more time on his hands. But no doubt some will be annoyed at Skrbina - writing a book on the "Jesus Hoax ...

Re: Thomas Dalton's identity revealed (by Kevin Barrett) as David Skrbina

To clarify: based on the first few pages of The Jesus Hoax, Skrbina-Dalton doesn't come out as a full Jesus myth advocate straight away, but is going to debunk Christianity's origins and supernatural claims, and talks of a lie. So he seems less radical than, say, Richard Carrier.

Thomas Dalton's identity revealed (by Kevin Barrett) as David Skrbina

My weekly Google Alert for Holocaust denial highlighted a SPLC piece from March 17 confirming the identity of "Thomas Dalton" as philosophy lecturer David Skrbina - he was inadvertently outed on 9/11 Truther Kevin Barrett's podcast/radio show. Skrbina corresponded with the Unabomber, has written a ...

Re: Core Arguments For and Against the Mainstream Account

"Since resettlement camps/reservations/whatever are not forensically or archaeologically demonstrated, that is very dangerous ground" - back at ya. But even more so since there's also no photographic, documentary (German or otherwise) or testimonial evidence for them. This isn't the slam dunk you ...

Re: Core Arguments For and Against the Mainstream Account

I think the simplest argument for the mainstream account is that it is an account: it can produce historical narratives from a variety of perspectives and levels, with much broader coverage geographically and thematically, based on sources. Revisionism is hardly ever presented in narrative form ...

Re: Core Arguments For and Against the Mainstream Account

I see, you are saying the policy was to murder a certain fraction (the unfit), in certain Locations but not others? This being the case, and I do not believe you have answered yet: why stop the murder in 1944? When you say in statement 1.) that the genocide had already happened, did you mean that ...

Re: Core Arguments For and Against the Mainstream Account

The obvious flaw in your reasoning here Mr Check, is that Narrative Presentation > Forensic Evidence. Since the gas chambers are not forensically demonstrated, that is very dangerous ground.
