Here We Go Again
Gates of Vienna:
Note: The following post accompanies Takuan Seiyo’s latest piece. Both are being kept “sticky” until tonight. Scroll down for other posts that have appeared since Wednesday.
Certain posts at Gates of Vienna, among them those by Takuan Seiyo, tend to attract the attention and comments of people who are preoccupied with the Jews. They frequently refer to “Holohoax” in World War Two, often supplementing their scornful references with obscenities or derogatory epithets.
I generally delete such comments without publishing them. One of them came in this morning, the second or third such screed submitted on Takuan Seiyo’s latest post. Before I deleted it, I sent it to Takuan, just to show him what was coming in. He suggested that I go ahead and post it, followed by his response.
So here’s the comment by “Anonymous” [typos in the original]:
Some interesting points, a lot of waffle and some errors. Your stated view that the WW2 ‘Holocaust’ resulted in the old 6 million dead Jews is well past its sell-by date. Top class, modern historians now regard that figure as grotesquely disproportionate. The Red Cross AND the German Government counted less than 150,000 for ALL deaths in ALL camps other than those behind Russian lines. It’s now commonly called the HOLOHOAX. It is one of the most successful internationsal businesses of all time.
A response from Takuan Seiyo:
You have the temerity to post this kind of Nazi apologist garbage in a comments thread of an article by a writer whose gentile grandparents had been murdered in a concentration camp and whose gentile mother spent two years in a labor-extermination camp, was a state witness in the post-war trial of its commandant, and relayed her wartime experiences to this writer directly. Moreover, a writer who was born and grew up one hour by car from Auschwitz and three kilometers from the plant where the firm Hoch und Tiefbau AG had built the crematoria for that camp. In which, alone, 2.5 million people were murdered, 1 million of them Jews. And that’s according to the testimony its commandant Rudolf Hoess, based on data from SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann.
Moreover, you desecrate the memory of Witold Pilecki plus other Polish officer escapees from Auschwitz who produced written reports, e.g. Jerzy Tabeau and Kazimierz Piechowski — all of them of impeccable “white” credentials way beyond what you and other White Nat lunatics may ever aspire to. I am omitting here reports by Jewish escapees, for example the Vrba-Wetzler report, as well as the fate of the Jewish part of my family during the war, so as to skirt the whole specious Joooos-tainted-it aspect of your comment.
It’s true that legitimate modern-day attempts to calculate the number of the Holocausts’ victims produce a range of numbers. The lowest for Auschwitz, for instance (by the Polish historian Franciszek Piper), cites 1.1 million victims, in contrast to the 2.5 million estimate — interesting, however, that even in that much-reduced number the Jewish victims component remains the same 1 million as in the bigger total-victim figures. The highest figure cited for Auschwitz is 4 million.

Repeat of the antisemitism of op cast lead in 2008. But less subtle.
Not that I would call chants of “Hamas Hamas, jews to the gas” subtle. But emboldened by the lack of meaningful consequences, we see events like this.
Frankly, the blatant antisemitism is no more shocking to me than the notion that people holding a public demonstration object to being filmed. In Toronto of course we see the actual municipal police enforcing that anti-right when its muslims demonstrating. But this requires a complete rewrite of the definition of the word, ‘public’ as well as the word, ‘demonstration’. And why not. We seem to be redefining most important concepts for the occasional convenience of Muslims among us anyway.

A comment came in today from someone calling himself, ‘Sharpshooter’.
It was the fairly common type of attack on this site, its readers and the Q society by someone I can only assume is a lefty, and either deliberately confuses important concepts like opposing hate, (which this site actually is about) and generating hate, (which is what Islam does and pretty much all it does) or, he actually doesn’t know that the new ‘anti-fascists’ are the actual fascists using any means at their disposal to suffocate the freedom of speech of those they do not agree with or understand, and that the new hate speech is from the ‘anti-racists’ who stand up for Islamic supremacy while ignoring Islamic genocides and wars across the globe.
I will reproduce the comment below in toto but not the link he added, as I don’t feel like i need to promote his agenda on this site.
Comment:
Just letting you know your online hate is not acceptable.I’m not sure if you think you’re just making a joke or you just think because no one can see you or knows your real name that it is OK to say these things. It isn’t. We do not want people with your views on this website or anywhere else.
Take your hate and go away. Anyone else who wants to see less of this vile racism visit [link removed] to find new ways to stop hate and haters taking up our time and space.
Thanks,
The Anti-Hater
Notice how the poster feels that this website and time and space in general is theirs to command. That they should be able to go to any website they want in the world, interpret what they see their own way without any real inquiery, and if they object to their own interpretation of what they see, that the website and or the people who post to it must be silenced.
A better definition or example of fascism I could not create short of actual violent action in the pursuit of the goals stated in the comment.
Lastly, there is an important concept I would like to define. Freedom of speech.
Like freedom of religion, freedom of speech means you/we must be able to speak our own truths, especially political ones without fear of state persecution for those views, just as freedom of religion means you should be able to believe in any deity you want without government interference.
Now what it doesn’t mean.
Freedom of speech does not mean you can walk into a Costco and start handing out fliers for Walmart just as you cannot say absolutely anything you want on this website or any other. Even though I do my best to allow as much as possible. (I hold Iftikhar up as my annoying example.) Freedom of religion does not mean you are able to break local laws because you say you are required to for your religious observance. It only deals with belief. Not practice other than in the manner of private prayer etc. I write this in case Mr. Anti-hate feels I have interfered with his ‘rights’. This is a private site. No one is obliged to come here. If you don’t like what you see, there are many other sites you will like I am sure, as the useful idiots in this war are in the majority today and infinitely better financed.
Below, an interesting video about how the Merah family, a devout Muslim family in France was raised, steeped in violent hatred, bigotry and antisemitism. I wonder if ‘The Anti Hater’ has written to their mosque insisting that they not be allowed to exist or speak etc. I doubt the bookies would even give odds on that one.

Protesters chant anti-Semitic slogans outside Rome synagogue
November 15, 2012
ROME (JTA) — Protesters chanted anti-Semitic and pro-Palestinian slogans outside the main Rome synagogue during mass student protests that turned violent.
Tens of thousands of people in dozens of Italian cities reportedly took part in strikes and demonstrations Wednesday protesting the economic situation and other issues.
In Rome, thousands of high school and university students staged marches through the city center, blocking traffic. Police chased some marchers into the old Jewish Quarter, according to reports.
Rome Jewish community President Riccardo Pacifici said that some of the demonstrators waved Palestinian flags while hooting and shouting anti-Jewish slogans outside the Great Synagogue of Rome.

Turkish schoolbooks denounce Darwin, Einstein as ‘Jews’
J-Post:
By JPOST.COM STAFF
LAST UPDATED: 10/20/2012 05:35
Turkish schoolchildren in Istanbul received a series of books denouncing scientific figures, including one denying the theory of evolution and describing Charles Darwin as a big-nosed Jew, the Financial Times reported Friday.According to the paper, the books were distributed last week to hundreds of students in the Maltepe district of Turkey’s capital after the government-affiliated local education authority approved their content.
The book on Darwin reportedly states that the evolutionary biologist “Had two problems: First he was a Jew; second, he hated his prominent forehead, big nose and misshapen teeth.”
Darwin was not Jewish.
A separate book on Albert Einstein reportedly describes the physicist as “filthy and slovenly” and accuses him of eating soap. “The sad part is during that time the Gestapo was putting Jews into ovens and making them into soap,” the book adds.
Twitter and the CBC: Antisemitism gets a free ride on both
(J-Practical, October 21, 2012)
On October 19th, CBC.ca posted a story about how Twitter responded to a tsunami of racist and antisemitic tweets (“Twitter removes French-language anti-Semitic tweets” – www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2012/10/19/twitter-racist-tweets-france.html).
This very same CBC.ca report inadvertently provides a fascinating study in how ineffective and unresponsive our own national broadcaster can be, when faced with antisemitism posted to their own website.
Unlike Twitter, the CBC website’s user-generated content is not supposed to be a free-for-all.
It’s still our national broadcaster, purportedly governed by Content Submission Guidelines, which prohibit people from posting “Hate Speech” (section 9.c), and monitored by a team of moderators that carry out that policy. As a further measure, each posted comment has a little button called “Report Abuse”, that lets readers alert the moderators if they think an inappropriate comment snuck in unnoticed.
But, like rust, antisemitism doesn’t sleep. Sadly, CBC’s website moderation apparently does, because while the CBC was reporting the antisemitism on Twitter, they were actively ignoring antisemitism on their own website.
The CBC.ca comments section for the Twitter antisemitism story drew the ‘A’ Team like flies to honey. But the CBC moderation team may as well have been absent. Here are some examples of the comments they let through: Continue Reading →
A boatload of Mustards protest at Google in England against freedom of speech
This is what a demand for totalitarianism looks like. And no, this isn’t about respect for religion or any such innocuous thing as the call was never made until a plan to crush freedom of speech was clearly drafted by the OIC and signed on by Clinton. No one was asking for respect for religion or religious beliefs when the Saudis made and broadcast the Protocols of Zion and played it across Arab media in the entire middle east.
No this is about Islamic supremacy and nothing more. And they are achieving it. It has moved into the political realm in the EU already and as mentioned, Sec. State Clinton has already signed on to it in principle at least.

Analysis: Critics slam Movement founder for posting on Twitter blaming Zionists for Holocaust.
Photo: Reuters The Free Gaza Movement, a pro-Palestinian group that seeks to break Israel’s legal blockade of the Gaza Strip, is embroiled in an anti-Semitism scandal that has produced rifts within the group as well as intense criticism from Middle East experts.
Greta Berlin, the US co-founder of FGM, posted on Twitter in late September that “Zionists operated the concentration camps and helped murder millions of innocent Jews.”

Gaza flotilla sponsor blames Jews for Holocaust on Twitter
The Free Gaza Movement, a U.S.-based activist group known for provisioning ships to run the Israeli-Egyptian blockade of Gaza, was hit with charges of anti-Semitism on Wednesday after posting a tweet claiming that Jews were responsible for the Holocaust.
“Zionists operated the concentration camps and helped murder millions of innocent Jews,” read a Tweet posted Sunday to @freegazaorg, the official Twitter feed of the group, which includes Canadian author Naomi Klein and Bishop Desmond Tutu on its board of advisors.
An embedded link led to a video of a speech by known conspiracy theorist Eustace Mullins claiming that the word Nazi is an amalgam of the words “National socialism” and “Zionist.”
“[Hitler] allied with the Zionist Party, and the mission of the Nazis was to force the anti-Zionist Jews to accept Zionism — and this is what the concentration camps were about,” said Mr. Mullins, who died of a stroke in 2010.
I shared it without watching it. I am sorry that I just sent it forward without looking at it. It won’t happen again
Although the tweet was eventually deleted, it was picked up on Monday by Avi Mayer, head of social media with the Jewish Agency for Israel. In a Wednesday blog post, Mr. Mayer posted a screenshot of the post along with a link to the video, which he claimed revealed Free Gaza as “the lowest anti-Semites.”
Within hours, the American founder of the movement, Greta Berlin, tweeted that she had intended only to publish the link to her private Facebook account, but it was accidentally redirected to the Free Gaza Twitter feed.
“I shared it without watching it. I am sorry that I just sent it forward without looking at it. It won’t happen again,” read a tweet from the Free Gaza Movement account, posted Wednesday afternoon.
