Someone is willfully misinterpreting, but that ain't me.  I am a Holocaust REVISIONIST,
because I believe we have inherited a grossly exaggerated account of the events that
are alleged to have taken place at the end of WWII.  The number of alleged "victims" of
the Holocaust, 6,000,000, for example, appears to be a number that has theological or
ideological origins and is not historically accurate.  See, for example, a study discussing
the origins of the 6,000,000 myth at http://zioncrimefactory.com/the-six-million-myth/

Moreover, the Nuremberg Tribunals appear to have presented a biased case to convey
the impression that the Nazis were responsible for the extensive starvation of inmates
at internment camps, when, as Robert Faurisson, "Against Hollywoodism, Revisionism", 
http://robertfaurisson.blogspot.com/2012/02/against-hollywoodism-revisionism.html has
explained, that was a consequence of Allied bombing of German cities, which interdicted
railroad lines and made it impossible to resupply the camps, leading to mass starvation.
Ironically, the Tribunals found that collective punishment is a war crime, which the Allies
appear to have been keen to cover-up by attributing the starvation to the Nazis instead.

There are many other reasons to doubt the "official account" of the Holocaust.  I do not
DENY that Jews, gypsies and the mentally and physically infirm were abused by Nazis,
but the nature of that abuse appears to have been exaggerated for political purposes. It
is no coincidence that the allegation of being a "Holocaust denier" is raised against any
one who is remotely critical of the actions or policies of the government of Israel, which
may qualify as "anti-Zionist" but does not qualify as "anti-Semitic". For more, I have a
half-dozen or more interviews on "The Real Deal" discussing Holocaust mythology at
http://radiofetzer.blogspot.com.  Anyone can go there and do a search on "Holocaust".

I published an article about this question, "Is 9/11 research 'anti-Semitic'?" in 2009. It
is offensive that Zionist organizations and individuals continue to attack all of us who
are trying to make sense of the evidence about the Holocaust and to counter the false
account of history that these exaggerated attacks entail, which play upon a sense of
Western guilt to manipulate the public to promote the political agenda of Israel.  There
is more that could be said here, but I would like to think this is enough.  I have most
recently laid out my views on these questions in an article in Veterans Today 2013:

>>Hello all,
>>The News Gazette has published an article (and below) on The Midwest 9/11 Truth Conference this Sunday at the Urbana Free Library, in the auditorium from 1:30-4:45pm. Again, the speakers are three highly knowledgeable experts on 9/11 Truth including James Fetzer Ph.D. (founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth),Wayne Madsen (editor of WayneMadsenReport.com, Washington D.C.)and Kevin Barrett (co-founder of the Muslim Jewish Christian Alliance for 9/11 Truth).  The conference is hosted by UC 9/11 Truth Urbana-Champaign and NewsFollowUp.com ... see Facebook Event   email: info at midwest911truth.com
>>
>>
>>The world has changed dramatically since 9/11.  Citizens of the U.S. have seen a precipitous erosion in basic Constitutional rights since 9/11.  This usurpation of rights has been directly tied to the creation of government entities and legislation, such as the Department of Homeland Security, the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, the NDAA and revelation of massive surveillance of the American people by NSA.
>>
>>
>>The first component of the conference will be to view the widely distributed and acclaimed documentary film by the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, 'Explosive Evidence: Experts Speak Out'. Because AE911Truth.org is a highly significant leader in the 9/11 
>>Truth movement, its influential documentary deserves careful scrutiny insofar its conclusions are widely regarded as providing crucial evidence for future legal action. 
>>
>> 
>> 
>>James Fetzer, Ph.D., will assess the A&E documentary and report the latest scientific findings about how it was done, where all sides agree that the Twin Towers could not have been brought down by the impact of airliners and resulting fires..  His analysis of the science of 9/11 will be complemented by Wayne Madsen's analysis of who was responsible and why. Kevin Barrett will moderate and add his perspective to all of these issues.
>>
>>
>>We seek to find answers to legitimate questions about 9/11 and to enable credible prosecutors to bring the perpetrators for these acts to 
>>justice.  There is a vast amount of evidence gathered to support this belief and has led to the conclusion that neo-cons in the US were aided by the intelligence services of other countries.  Supporters of the 9/11 Truth movement, including local members of UC 9/11 Truth Urbana Champaign, demand a new independent and international investigation of 9/11.
>>
>>
>>We invite all to attend. The conference is free and open to the public.
>>Thank you

"The 9/11 Commission Report is viewed as a cover-up by a significant percentage of citizens and the 9/11 Truth Movement seeks to find answers to these questions about the real cause of those atrocities."
>>The conference will begin the presentation of a documentary film, "Explosive Evidence: Experts Speak Out."
>>James Fetzer, the founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, will comment on the documentary and report on scientific findings.
>>Wayne Madsen, editor of WayneMadsenReport.com, will provide an analysis of who may have been responsible for the attacks and why.
