Title: The Holocaust as Wimp Libel

The Holocaust is The Wimp Libel.

What is the Wimp Libel?

It is the idea that the Holocaust happened out of nowhere, and the Jews did not have any power anywhere and had not been engaging in any ideological or ethnic warfare and bloodshed prior to the Holocaust. That Jews were just a bunch of Woody Allen type violin players and peaceful bankers and lawyers and teachers. There were no “tough Jews” with Mausers terrorizing the Ukrainian steppe in the 1930’s—no, none at all.

Here’s the good news, Jews. You may be a lot of things, but “wimps” ain’t one of them. Your Bolsheviks killed tens of millions of hardy Russians and Ukrainians, and some Poles, Estonians, Lithuanians and Latvians as well.

A lot of murdered Jews were not murdered by marauding Germans, but by Baltic and Slavic people who were merely exacting revenge, who were engaging in counter-warfare to Bolshevism.

Nazi Germany did not identify the threat as simply “Jews.” Their term was “Judeo-Bolshevism.” In other words, they were reacting to a very specific Jewish dominated political movement. It was a very powerful movement. The Civil War of 1918-1921 in Russia was Jews versus Russians, and Jews won. The Judeo-Bolsheviks killed at least 7 million Ukrainians in the 1930’s, and it was called “the Kholodomor.” And yes, they killed women and children in cold blood too. Jews were gunning down the Tsar’s children when Hitler was just a bicycling corporal in the German army.

I’m not saying this to antagonize or place blame, but rather to point out the false consciousness engendered by the “Wimp Libel” of the Holocaust. Trotsky was no Woody Allen; he was a man willing to make the streets run red with blood for his ideals.

The Wimp Libel has its uses, of course, as Norman Finkelstein points out in the book “The Holocaust Industry.” But one wonders about the psychic cost of the Wimp Libel on Jews, on their behaviour and actions, and how their Wimp Libel motivated behavior affects the rest of us.

So perhaps one can try to mentally liberate Jews from this particular brain slug, by approaching the Holocaust as a willfully omissive and morally unbalanced way to interpret history.

The Communists were about ten times as bad as the Nazis.

Bingo!

That is one of the reasons for forbidding examination of the holoco$t. A full examination would examine what it was that led Hitler to persecute Jews, and as the evidence mounts, while I do not justify or defend those actions, that Jews in Germany, and other slavic countries, were NOT saintly little old cobblers eking out a bare existence. The movers and shakers were shaking and moving and their actions were very prejudicial to the general attitude toward Jews, and history is repeating itself.

"“Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.” ~ Gautama Siddhartha — The Buddha

Mein Kampf is available online. It's an interesting read. The reviews out there state it is the ravings of a madman etc, but it's not. They just say that to keep people away from it.

Somebody ought to tell the truth about the Bible. The preachers dare not, because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors in colleges dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not. They would be defeated. Editors dare not. They would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not, because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, fearing that they would lose caste. Even clerks dare not, because they might be discharged. And so I thought I would do it myself... Robert Ingersoll

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”

—Samuel Adams

I have read Mein Kampf and found it excruciatingly boring. However, Hitler did know his propaganda, and I'm sure a lot of people in government use his discoveries.
