Neo-Nazis Posting at Looser Forum

Just had this brought to my attention by our buddies at JREF. Turns out that Rei Kurasame, a regular poster at the Looser Board, found out about my blasting them for their Holocaust Revisionism a week or so ago.

So she (I assume) posts some backup for some of the claims she made about the rapes US and Russian troops committed in Nazi Germany. Now, let me stipulate that I am sure that evil things were done by individual American troops and Russian troops, perhaps sometimes even by groups of American troops and Russian troops. But systemic, with approval from the top? I don't buy it.

And look who she helpfully cites with each reported war crime:

- Kevin Alfred Strom, based on Dr. Austin J. App's book: "Ravishing the women of conquered Europe"

Okay, so let's do a little Googling. Kevin Alfred Strom? Here's his Wikipedia entry:

Kevin Alfred Strom (born 1956 in Anchorage, Alaska) is the Managing Director of National Vanguard, an organization based in Charlottesville, Virginia. It is regarded by some as being racist, white separatist, homophobic and a Neo-Nazi hate group. Mr. Strom and the organization dispute this characterization, however, saying that it is completely legitimate for men and women of European descent to organize to promote their interests as a people. National Vanguard states on its website that the USA would be improved "if it becomes a proud White nation again". Its membership rules stipulate that "Persons of Jewish descent, homosexuals or bisexuals, criminals, persons with a non-White spouse or sexual partner, or persons with more than an undetectable trace of non-White ancestry are specifically barred from membership."


So, Rei Kurasame gets her information from a white separatist kook? How about the author cited, Dr. Austin J. App? Turns out he's a seminal figure in Holocaust Revisionism, cited by our old friend, Willis Carto.

Better still, Do-Over Dylan commends Rei for her post:

rei, while you clearly won this no question, it's right up there with me apologizing for the jack blood bernard brown and boxcutters episode. they don't dare post something counter-intuitive to their idea of us all as stark raving lunatics with no remorse or critical thinking skills.


Well, you know, Dylan, if you weren't foolish enough to commend a Holocaust Revisionist citing Holocaust Revisionist sources, we might actually give you a little credit for your critical thinking skills. As it is, you did, so we won't.

Dylan chimes in again later, after the Holocaust Revisionism of Rei's sources have been pointed out, but he's only interest in chiding us and Gravy:

SLC and Mark Roberts et al are some of the biggest hypocrites I've ever encountered.

They crucify us for actions that they constantly participate in, without a thought.

Prime example. Mark Roberts calling a truther at Ground Zero an *sshole, repeatedly. If any of us did that, regardless of the incentive, he'd have a video up on Youtube the next day hi-lighting the fact that we called him an *sshole.


Feel free to call me a blankety-blank any time you want Dylan. It doesn't bother me at all. Mark was a little more "in your face" with that Denier than I'd be, but I'm not him, and I wasn't there to see the whole exchange.

Later still, Dylan tries the Uriah Heep routine:

I'm one of the most humble people you'll ever meet.


He has plenty to be humble about.

Meanwhile, back to The Nation article, a revealing post. In response to this article in the Nation, a poster on 911Blogger.com wrote:(emphasis mine)

"I feel a duty to respond

"To the editorial staff of "The Nation":

"Here's what I don't understand. It's bad enough that you are clearly not advocates of 9/11 Truth... but why do self-professed gatekeepers (like the Nation) feel the need to attack the 9/11 Truth Movement? Why not just shut-up about it? What do you possibly hope to gain by going after us? Especially considering that we ARE RIGHT... and you are soooo very WRONG."

Shut up about the paranoia of the 9/11 Truth Movement? Looks like that truther does not want the truth revealed.

Disclaimer: I am not a holocause denier but have looked at both sides of the issue.

Question:

James and or PatDr. Austin J. App? Turns out he's a seminal figure in Holocaust Revisionism, cited by our old friend, Willis Carto.

Did you find out where any of this originally came from? Not the person mind you but the particular information? War reports? Eyewitness accounts, etc? It is fine to attack the person for their beliefs, in fact it is expected on this blog, but I'm curious where the original information came from.

One other question, why doesn't the memmoirs of Churchill, FDR, Eisenhower, or the Red Cross reports mention anything about a holocause of jews in Europe? I've always found that rather odd to be honest. Also I think the official 6 million figure has been revised down to 3 million I was sure if I read that from the Holocaust Museum in DC or the Aushwitz tour guides.

Happy Monday everyone!

I don't think you find it odd at all. In fact I don't think you personally know it to be true. It's just something you picked up from one of the various Holocaust denier sites out there and decided to repeat. I am wholly unsurprised at this development. Burn in hell with stomach cancer, scum.

Ok. Why do you ask?

In order to expose you as the lying sack of garbage neo-Nazi terrorist supporter you are. It is literally impossible to come across an ICRC report about the Nazis during World War II without being informed about the organization's actions subsequent to the war and how it came to be silent while events were contemporary. Can't be done. So there are literally no observers who find it "odd." None. Not a single person who has looked into the subject on even a cursory basis is unaware of their explanation or has to ask why. No one.

Yup, the CT mindset comes out once again.

A few rapes of women by horny teenage soldiers, repugnant as they may be, morally equals the wholesale incarceration, torture, and industrialized murder of 10-12 million people, 6 million of which were jews.

Sure, the two cancel each other out.

That's what I thought, Swing. You didn't read any Red Cross reports either. You just spouted out some crap you read on a neo-Nazi site and thought no one would call you out on it.

Child molestor and others: as I've stated before, I'm not a holocaust revisionist or denier. But as a common childish act, some try to link 9/11 ct's with such rable in order to try to discredit them. Which of course will not work at this particular time with this particular individual. At no where in this post did I deny the holocaust.

According to the Toronto Sun article , headline Poland Lowers Aushwitz Toll, lowering the number from 4 million killed to 1.3 million.

That is why I brought up the 6 million number.

Manny, are you going to answer my question?

 
At 11 December, 2006 09:24, Blogger The Masked Writer said...

And yes I'm also aware that the leader of the ICRC appologized for the Cross's silence during the holocaust.

Now the conspiracy becomes: Why was the ICRC silent about the holocaust? Why did the ICRC lie about and fabricate a report, going as far as to fake a report about the Jewish conditions in the camps they investigated.

I read your latest admonition to proscribe profanity only, based on Pat's comments in the thread. If you also want me to stop using subjective perjorative terms like scum or sack of garbage, of course I will. However, I will not cease calling persons who lie while attempting to aid terrorists and deny the Holocaust lying terrorist-supporting Holocaust deniers. It is factually correct and backed by posts in this very blog.

Alex, wasn't it you several posts ago that stated people should see me about sucking dick?

Alex, I don't make fun of Canadians, only you. You happen to be Candian. I've never made fun of TAM, he is Canadian.
I only reflect that which you visit upon me. You have done nothing but attack my person and my character many times when addressing my posts.

And again Alex, your buddy proved you a liar on the other post.

In the Clakity Clak post, I just posted something factual, you countered said it was a wrong, and Manny proved that you were the liar. So really perhaps you should stick to what you know, which up to this point isn't much but Canadian history and Canadian current events.

Manny, put your typing where your thoughts are and prove the following:

1. attempting to aid terrorists?
What do you have?
(I've accused terrorists of using explosives in the 9/11 attacks at the WTC complex.)
In fact, perhaps you are aiding the terrorists by not supporting an investigation into explosives at the WTC complex. By not investigating it, we have no idea how to improve designs or security against another attack. Is that want you want, Manny?

2.deny the Holocaust
(a lie Manny)
What you have from me:(My post earlier-Disclaimer: I am not a holocause denier but have looked at both sides of the issue. One other question, why doesn't the memmoirs of Churchill, FDR, Eisenhower, or the Red Cross reports mention anything about a holocause of jews in Europe?)

Explain to me the 'denial' in that question? Nevermind, you can't.
You will only insert assumptions into my question to try to vaidate your lie. "He asks that so we assume he is a HD. Sorry it won't work."

3.lying terrorist-supporting Holocaust deniers.
Again,what do you have?

4. It is factually correct and backed by posts in this very blog.
(a lie-at what point did I deny the holocaust? )

5. Now because you and Alex have just been proven to be liars, is it fair game to call you terrorists supporters and HD's as well? I didn't think so.

Alex and Manny move on. You have nothing more to address in this particular post.

OK guys, I know this is an emotional subject, but try and keep it civil, or I will have to make you all stand in the corner.

I tried James, but you can see where your problem began this time: in order to expose you as the lying sack of garbage neo-Nazi terrorist supporter you are.
BG is correct. That is all you OS'ers do isn't it? (Sorry to those of you that don't if you fall under the OS category.)

I happened to visit Pat's "Brainiac" blog. It offered another example of the political beliefs of many of those behind this blog.

Maybe I'm not being logical but when it comes to the numbers, who cares? It doesn't matter if it was 6 or 1.5 million, it was still an organized systematic killing of innocent people. The Nazis represented the absolute worst part of humanity. Why argue about it? Either your a neo-nazi, anti-semetic, or just confrontational. Those are all bad in my book.

A)Downplaying how bad the Nazis were

B)Shifting the blame from terrorists to our government for 9/11

How is this off-the-graph from reality? How can you people even sleep at night? America may have its problems but it will never EVER be as bad as terrorists and nazis. If you think otherwise your just plain stupid. I don't even consider that an ad hominem. I really can't think of any better way to describe your behavior than just simply stupid.

 
At 11 December, 2006 13:28, Blogger Jujigatami said...

It doesn't matter if it was 6 or 1.5 million,

It kind of does.

The 1.3 million number comes from the updating of a plaque at Auschwitz. The plaque at one time read that 4 million were killed there, but was lowered to 1.3 million. AT AUSCHWITZ, and the 6 million number takes that in to account. There were 10 extermination camps killing millions, and and 40 or so other camps where hundreds of thousands died, not in gas chambers but by firing squads, medical experiments, starvation, whim, etc., not to mention the ghettos and the death squads. Lots of deniers don't even know there were camps other than Auschwitz, and they usually don't even know what country it was in.

When deniers say something like well, it was only 1.4 million at Auschwitz, they are actively denying all of the other terrors and atrocities that the nazis perpetrated. It's flat denial. Auschwitz was only a part of the nazis horror.

It does tell you something when they do say something like "it was ONLY 1.4 million people killed".

Disgusting.

I just can't see how in their minds once you get to a certain number it's "ok."

They're trying to use an old sales technique called reduction to the ridiculous. Believe me, if you've ever made a really major purchase, you've seen it.

It goes something like this:

You: That is sure a nice TV, but $5000 is just too expensive

Salesman: Well, This TV will last you 10 years, so if you divide the $5000 cost over 10 years, its only $500/year.

You: But I don't want to spend $500/year.

Salesman: Well, really, its only $1.30 a day, and you'll watch it an average of 4 hours a day, its less than $0.35/hr, thats not even a penny per minute to have a great TV like this in your home.

You: Yeah, but...

Salesman: Isn't your happiness worth less than a penny a minute?

You: Yeah, I guess.

So thats what they do, but in a slightly different way. They cut the numbers, from 6 million to 1 million, then they cut it down more and more, eventually claiming there were actually more jews after the holocaust than before it, so it wasn't a big deal. It gets to the "Its OK" number pretty easily in their minds.

DON'T LET THEM. Denying even one death attributed to the nazis is disgusting.

Again Manny, you show your lack of knowledge regarding the subject. I have a co-worker who is going back to school for a second degree. He is doing a paper on the Holocaust. He sent me scan of the particular newspaper to ask me what I thought of it. And to be honest, until my friend had sent me the article, I had no idea that the number had been changed; that was the first I had ever heard of that number. So again, Manny, stick to what you know, not what you think you know.

And yes, the event is a tragedy there is no question about that. Something of that nature is never ok. But for the sake of history, it would be nice to have a historical consenus on the facts.

In the case of American soldiers, I agree that rape was neither systematic nor approved of.

However, there is little controversy among historians that the Russians encouraged their soldiers to rape their way into Germany, as vengeance for German atrocities earlier in the war.

Don't mean to derail the other discussions going on here, but that needed saying.

I've never heard that particular allegation before, but considering all the things the Ruskies did both previous and subsequent to WW2, this wouldn't surprise me in the least. East Germany wasn't exactly the epitome of modern civilization after the war either.

 
At 13 December, 2006 10:17, Blogger Vader said...

jpslovjansky,

I wasn't aware that the claim that Ehrenburg officially incited rapes had been seriously questioned. Gosh, who to believe: Goebbels or Ehrenburg? Both were consummate propagandists, e.g., state-sanctioned liars.

Cornelius Ryan seemed to have little doubt that enormous numbers of rapes were committed at the time Berlin fell. He's not the only one. Ryan does mention the Ehrenberg story, but his evidence of widespread rape is independent of his conclusions on why it occurred.

Could the Berlin rapes have been widespread but not officially or even unofficially sanctioned? I am skeptical, but open to any evidence you have that the Russian leadership tried to stop them. For what it's worth (perhaps not much) I vaguely recall reading a quote from a Russian general to the effect that a soldier who had fought the Fascists all the way from Moscow to Berlin was entitled to a little fun.

 
At 13 December, 2006 12:04, Blogger Alex said...

I think your disagreement comes down to semantics. Your definition of "sanctioned" is "failed to oppose", whereas JP's definition is "actively encouraged". At least, that's the way it seems to me. I doubt that Russian leaders gave official orders for their men to start raping German women. On the other hand, I also doubt that the leaders on the ground (ie. military officers) did anything to stop or discourage it, and, knowing Slavic armies the way I do, they may very well have encouraged it in some units. It certainly wouldn't be the last time that something like that happened - you can read up on the conduct of some Serb military units in the 90's Balkans war for a more recent example of rape being actively encouraged at lower levels. Not that this sort of behaviour is exclusive to east-european armies by any means...but it's a LOT less prevalent amongst western forces.
