imperial ends. Just as president Ahmedinejad of Iran convincingly argues that if the Germans tried to
exterminate the Jews then they should be responsible for resettling them in their own country rather
than making the Palestinians pay the price, others, like the Argentineans, point out that powers like
Israel who stole Palestinian land and the United States of America who stole Native Indian land have
not moral authority to play world policemen in the name of the International Community.
The tide is changing and the Argentinean press release points to the fact that its effect is not lost
on the pro-Zionist camp: "Interestingly", it says, "the Zionist pro-Israeli mainstream media implicitly
admits that any such investigation poses a grave danger to Zionism. Amidst all the insults and threats
from such newspapers like the Los Angeles Times, in their 13-Dec-06 issue however, they ran an
article called Holocaust denial can be dangerous" which concludes by saying that, "...attacking the
legitimacy of the Holocaust allows... (attacking) the legitimacy of Israel, which was created by the
United Nations as a result of the Holocaust. If the first act didn't happen, then the second act wasn't
necessary." In a way this let the cat out of the bag. Israel's days are numbered if the last great
"religious" taboo of not discussing the true facts and dimensions of the holocaust is broken, and with
the dollar in accelerating decline and US marines taking a beating in Iraq, Iran - threatened with a preemptive
strike by the United States for alleged nuclear weapons of mass destruction - seems to have
successfully managed to cut the Achilles heel of the current Anglo-Zionist world order.

HUMAN SCUM
No Matter What Ahmadinejad Does
He'll be Portrayed as the New Hitler
By Stephen Gowans
Was the two-day conference on the Holocaust held earlier this month by the Iranian
government intended to cast "doubt on the Nazi Holocaust during the Second World War," (1) or
was it Iran's rejoinder to the Jyllands-Posten affair, an attempt "to embarrass the West and say,
'Look, we are practicing what you preach. We are allowing freedom of discussion of just about any
issue, including the Holocaust'" (2)
It's pretty clear how Western journalists summed up the event. The point of the conference
was to assemble the world's most notorious Holocaust-deniers and Jew haters, among them KKK
kook David Duke, to lend support to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's claims that the Holocaust is a myth
and to cheer on the Iranian president as he prepares to perpetrate a genocide against the Jews
and 'wipe out' Israel. The problem is, matters aren't quite as black and white as all that. Not even
close. Let's start with the claim that Ahmadinejad "has referred to the Holocaust as a 'myth'" (3),
a claim made by almost every major media outlet in North America. Ahmadinejad may have said
the Holocaust is a myth, but if he has, it has escaped my attention. Of course, I don't follow him
around with a tape-recorder and babel fish in my ear, so maybe I missed it. Still, the file of
Ahmadinejad quotes I have before me, which goes back two years, hasn't a single quote that backs
up the near media consensus that Ahmadinejad has "repeatedly called the Holocaust a myth," (4)
let alone called it one even once. Which is odd. Considering that demonizing the leader of the next
oil-rich country on the White House list of targets slated for take-over has become something of a
sport in the Western media, you'd think the "no, there never was a Holocaust" quote would be a
simple matter to unearth and thrust before the world, like Iraq's WMD. Oh, right. In the stories
that followed the conference, there were dozens of Ahmadinejad quotes, which, if you read them
carefully, played opposite type (they didn't say what the headlines said they said) but not one of
them had Ahmadinejad saying "Holocaust Pshaw -- as phony as an all-beef hotdog."
True, Ahmadinejad has played around the edges of the issue, saying things that amount to
"maybe it did or maybe it didn't happen, but either way, it doesn't justify what was done to the
Palestinians." Always, the emphasis is on the Holocaust as a political construct, not an historical
reality. That's not quite in the same league as David Irving, the writer who was jailed in Austria for
denying the Holocaust. Regarding headlines that misrepresent the story they lead, take the "Israel
will be 'wiped out'" headline that appeared in the Toronto Star on December 12, a photo of
Ahmadinejad nearby just to make clear who was uttering the alleged threat. Outgoing US
Ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, is using quotes like this to bring a suit against Ahmadinejad
before the International Court of Justice on charges of genocide.
