Stalingrad: A Movie to Rent

Stalingrad: A Movie to Rent
By
Robert E. Reis

John-JacquesAnnaud released his movie Stalingrad in 2001 and created a scandal in France. (It was released in the United States as Enemy at the Gates.)

It is easy to meet Communists, Socialists, Stalinists, Maoists, Castroites,. In Paris. Stalingrad is the name of a large Metro station in the city. The Communist Party headquarters is located at the Place Colonel Fabien – named after the French Communists leader who told his resistance forces that Paris was worth 200,000 dead.

Annaud spent enormous sums recreating a facsimile of Stalingrad. He included a famous fountain surrounded by happy children in gold. He also built monstrous statues of Stalin that poor Saddam Hussein may have used as an inspiration for the famous statue recently pulled down in Baghdad before the eyes of an enthusiastic crowd of six.

Italy criminalizes heresy

Italy approves law making Holocaust denial a crime
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/817994.html

Italy’s government Thursday approved a bill that makes denying the Holocaust a crime and stiffens prison sentences for those found guilty of inciting racial hatred.

Ministry officials said those found guilty of spreading ideas about a race being superior to another would now risk up to three years in prison while acts designed to incite racial, ethnic, religious or sexual violence would be punishable with a maximum four- year prison sentence.

Here’s the interesting part:

Initially conceived to target Holocaust deniers, the bill was broadened to include all forms of intolerance after some members of Prodi’s centre-left coalition had expressed reservations about the appropriateness of using the criminal code to honour the millions of Jews killed in the Shoah.

We can add Finland to the list

...of countries that criminalize heresy:

Editors Fined For Printing Anti-Semitic Letter

Two newspaper editors were fined for publishing a letter that said violence against Jews was justified and that the Holocaust was acceptable.

State Prosecutor Mika Illman said Uusimaa, a regional newspaper, and the Kansan Uutisetpaper broke the law in July by publishing the letter by Usko Takkumaki, which criticized Jews and Israel.

The WaPo and Israel Today carried the story as well.

Germany wants to ban heresy in EU

Germany wants EU-wide law against denying the Holocaust

BERLIN - Germany wants to make denying the Holocaust punishable by law in every member state of the European Union during its current presidency of the bloc, Brigitte Zypries, the Justice Minister, said yesterday. “Denial of the Holocaust is an example of what would be punishable by law if standardization took place,” she said at a press conference to present the German government’s program on justice matters for the next six months. Previous attempts to unify legal standards for Holocaust denial and other xenophobic attacks were blocked by Italy, but the new Italian government of Prime Minister Romano Prodi has dropped its opposition, Ms. Zypries said. Among EU members, there are laws against denying the slaughter of six million Jews by the Nazis during the Second World War in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany and Spain. In a recent high-profile case, controversial British historian David Irving spent 13 months in jail in Austria for challenging the Holocaust before being released on probation last month. Germany took over the rotating six-month presidency of the 27-country EU on Jan. 1.

So it’s news in Canada.

It’s news in the international non-Arab Semite Anglophone press:

Germany aims for E.U. ban on Holocaust denial

German politicians are pushing for a ban on Nazi symbols and Holocaust denial throughout the European Union.

Holocaust denial is illegal in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany and Spain.

Germany wants Holocaust denial to be EU-wide crime

That seems to be the source of the article at Canada.com.

It’s news to lawyers:

Germany to push for EU law criminalizing Holocaust denial

It’s not news to Americans.

Points of interest:

The holocaust was all about non-Arab Semites.  The rest who died (usually anonymously included in an 11 million figure, if at all) are shit.

The proposed law is all about the non-Arab Semite holocaust.  The myriad other racial sensitivities the world over are shit.

It seems okay to tell Canadians (used to draconian suppression of free speech), non-Arab Semites (in favor of and benefiting from draconian suppression of free speech), and lawyers (in the business of draconian suppression of free speech) about the desire to expand across the EU the suppression of free speech, but not Americans (none too fond of any kind of suppression of free speech).  They don’t need to know about such things.  They might get the wrong ideas.

Race-realism has predictive power: I predict not a peep from the American freedom lobby about this.

Should UK outlaw heresy?

Should UK Ban Shoah Denial?

Britain should hold a debate on whether to introduce a law banning Holocaust denial, a senior government minister said this week.

Police and Security Minister Tony McNulty, was speaking exclusively to the Jewish News less than two weeks after Holocaust denier David Irving arrived back in Britain after serving 13 months in an Austrian jail.

As far as I can tell, this story is indeed a Totally Jewish exclusive; Google News shows no other results (“Tony McNulty” holocaust).  It isn’t too hard to suss out who Tony’s pandering to.

Lord Janner, Chairman of the Holocaust Educational Trust, welcomed McNulty’s views. He said such legislation would be “great”. However he was pessimistic over the chances of such a law being introduced. “Holocaust denial is worse than libel, but it won’t happen. The chances of getting it in the UK are nil.”

At least libel laws are subject to defense, wherein the defendant can prove himself innocent by proving the truth of what he said.  With Holocaust laws the only truth that matters is that heresy has been committed.

McNulty added: “The MCB is wrong to boycott Holocaust Memorial Day, whatever they feel about other events in history, it misses the point. For all the other atrocities in history, the Holocaust was so mechanised, so formal in a way we have not seen before and happily not since.”

Translation: THE HOLOCAUST is special because non-Arab Semites are special; the 20+ millions (mostly Christian) killed by the Soviets (wildly disproportionately non-Arab Semite) aren’t special.

Irving tastes freedom to a blast of Mozart

I cross-posed with Svi.  But here is the (almost) straight story from The Times:-

David Irving, the historian jailed for three years in Austria for denying the Holocaust, is free after a court reduced his prison sentence on appeal.

Irving, who was sentenced in February, was released after Vienna’s highest court ruled today that he should serve one year in prison and the remainder of his sentence on probation.

After already serving 13 months behind bars since his arrest in November 2005, Irving had his handcuffs removed today in a small courtroom crowded with his supporters and members of the local press.

“He is free, and he can leave, and he will leave,” said Herbert Schaller, his lawyer, adding that he would advise the historian to leave Austrian soil as soon as possible.

Irving’s ordered released

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/803636.html

The Austrian government has magnanimously released convicted (and confessed) heretic David Irving.

Or at least, that’s the impression I get.  In between telling us the sentences Austria metes out to heretics for their heresy, how evil Austria is for producing Nazis, the right-leanings of the judge who’s cut his sentence short, etc., the non-Arab Semite mouthpiece has overlooked telling us when he’ll be released, or even if his release has been ordered.

A show in Tehran, a trial in Mannheim.

After the cartoons came the Conference:-

According to the foreign ministry in Tehran, 67 researchers from 30 countries are attending the conference in Iran, which is home to 25,000 Jews.

Participants include a number of well-known “revisionist” Western academics.  American David Duke, a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, is to present a paper.

Well, I suppose it was a tough call.  Grab the chance to shake hands with Nejad’s funny boys and pontificate in front of the world’s press ... or pass up the one international platform revisionists have been given in sixty years.  Maybe the 67 figured (probably wrongly) they had nothing to lose.  Maybe they followed the old rogue’s dictum: Publicity, bad.  No such thing as.  Maybe they lacked the integrity of the man brought in chains to Mannheim District Court last Wednesday, the translation of whose grave testimony that day is now circulating on the web.  Here it is (PDF).

Tehran you can forget.

The Germar defense

Historical revisionist forums have been carrying Günter Deckert’s reportage of the Germar Rudolf trial in Mannheim District Court, meaning at this stage the opening statement from Germar himself.  There was a further day of evidence today which, no doubt, will find its way around the internet very shortly.  But at present the Day Three, December 4th reportage is the most recent available.

Germar is impressive, an intellectual of substance and a man of obvious integrity.  That won’t save him.  The nature of his patriotism needs must call forth persecution from the State.

At least let us be aware of the qualities of the man and the manner in which he deploys his argument.  Here is Deckert’s Day Three court report.

Belgians sent HOLOCAUST (tm) records down the Memory Hole

Belgian Authorities Destroy Holocaust Records

The Belgian authorities have destroyed archives and records relating to the persecution and deportation of Jews in Belgium in the 1930s and 1940s. Some of this happened as recently as the late 1990s. This was revealed during hearings in the Belgian Senate last Spring. Though the Senate report dates from 4 May the Belgian press has not yet mentioned the affair. The Senate report says that “documents about the period 1930-1950 have been destroyed on a massive scale.”

The systematic destructions of the records of police and judiciary from the 1930s and ’40s happened chiefly in Brussels and Wallonia, the French-speaking south of Belgium. The Senate report states that in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking north of the country, archives have been saved thanks to conscientious archivists. “This policy – of having competent archivists manage dead archives – contrasts with the disastrous situation at the offices of the public prosecutors in Brussels and Wallonia.”

While the records about the persecution of the Antwerp Jewry have been kept intact, documents about the fate of the Jews in Brussels and in French-speaking cities with large pre-war Jewish communities, such as Charleroi and Liège, were purposely destroyed. In Charleroi all the archives relating to the 1930s and the war years have vanished. In Brussels the judicial archives are present “until the early 1930s, while there is (almost) nothing left of the period thereafter,” the report says, adding that “Reference is often made to the 1944 fire of the Palais de Justice to explain this lack of archives [...] However, there is no doubt that large parts of the Brussels judicial wartime archives were destroyed after 1944.”

I wonder if the ever-hyper-watchful jewish community has raised, or will ever raise, a stink about this.  Cui bono?

Holland moves to ban heresy

Holland moves to ban Holocaust denial

When a Dutch family comes back to Holland after eight years of living in Israel, people tend to assume its members are Jewish.

So says Leon Meijer, and he should know. Meijer, who completed his doctorate at the Technion, learned that lesson the hard way when his 11-year-old daughter was told by a classmate soon after her return: “It’s a pity Hitler didn’t finish the job.”

Meijer was shocked not only by the comment, but by the discovery that the Netherlands has no laws clearly outlawing Holocaust denial.

I’m shocked, shocked as well!  It’s (not) odd that this is (shocking!) news in the jewish press (for jews), but not in the jewish press (for goyim).

Holocaust denier draws 160,000 votes

Holocaust denier draws 160,000 votes

Democrats call AG candidate’s strong showing ‘embarrassing’

MONTGOMERY - Larry Darby believes that Jews exaggerated the Holocaust, that the country should be all-white and that illegal immigrants should be shot on sight.

In Madison County, Darby received more votes Tuesday than his opponent for attorney general in the Democratic primary, Mobile County District Attorney John Tyson Jr.

Huntsville wasn’t alone. Darby received more votes statewide than former Chief Justice Roy Moore did in the Republican primary for governor.

Darby, a Montgomery lawyer, had 52 percent of the county’s votes to Tyson’s 48 percent, though Tyson won the Democratic primary. In fact, Huntsville was the only major metropolitan area that voted for Darby. And he got more votes in Madison County, the third-largest county in Alabama, than former Gov. Don Siegelman, who was running in the Democratic gubernatorial primary.

State Rep. Randy Hinshaw, D-Meridianville, calls the Darby vote totals “embarrassing.”

160,000 voters unfazed by Darby’s extreme views
