The Amazon thing is such a great example of why the right always loses: Leftists will use any underhanded means necessary to destroy their enemies (ex: Letitia James using lawfare to kill VDARE through bankruptcy via legal fees). Amazon (our enemy) has such a clear unquestionable monopoly on the book publishing industry that going after them for antitrust/anti monopoly laws would be a slam dunk to inflict harm on an enemy. But no GOP politician has picked up this obvious crown lying in a gutter and none ever will.
Also hope you at least got a chuckle over Messing getting denounced by pally-wally supporting leftists. There's this columnist I know who denounces the pally-wallies and their idiot supporters and whose work should be far more widely distributed except he was defacto made unpublishable by...
And you're 100% right about conservatives and Amazon. But as we saw with Trump and TikTok, Big Tech has a way of "convincing" politicians of both parties to look the other way...unfortunately.
There´s something Old Testament about the Dave Cole - the guy who loses faith in Jehovah but nonetheless has to let Jehovah know about him not believing in Jehovah anymore by dumping on the sacred story of Shoah. But the Old Testament God doesn´t fuck around and teaches Dave Cole a kind of lesson. But the lesson isn´t obvious, and is buried in a lesson buried in a lesson. Idiots (like me, who are in for the entertainment!) can´t see it. But I stick around to see if I finally see it. Maybe only at the very final end.
With hermaneutics and exegesis by the Bronfman family, with especial focus on the Habaddram fragment.
Mordecai Richler's 1989 novel Solomon Gursky Was Here is based on the Bronfman family, which owned Seagram's (1957-2000). From Wiki:
The Bronfman family is a Canadian family, known for its extensive business holdings. It owes its initial fame to Samuel Bronfman (1889–1971), the most influential Canadian Jew of the mid-20th century, who made a fortune in the alcoholic distilled beverage business during American prohibition, including the sale of liquor through organized crime, through founding the Seagram Company, and who later became president of the Canadian Jewish Congress (1939–62).
Like Joseph Heller writing the novel God Knows--- I think it was Aldous Huxley in Point Counter Point who wrote something like, "How they gave it to God in their books!" For me, if you don't think life is much to lose, then don't have kids; no point I can see in railing against God, seems kinda like Dolph-baby declaring war against Russia, i.e. asking for unnecessary trouble.
Very well said. What sickens me the most about Con Inc is their utterly fraudulent & very frequent claims about muh principles which they routinely break almost always for the purpose of winning favor with leftists who hate them eternally.
Anytime they have an easy win handed to them on a silver platter that would bring real change they suddenly transform into extremely vocal anarcho capitalists. After they've successfully stabbed their voters in the back they just as suddenly quietly slip right back to demuring to big government that's unapologetically wielded by leftists.
The only exception to this is rule is absolute pipe dreams like total abortion bans that, save for a handful of extremists, turn the whole damn country against them.
To me the most incredible thing about this is the legions of voters who are in full agreement with these retarded antics. They treat politics like a courtroom where they're the defendant of a leftist prosecutor accusing them of immorality with their defense strategy alternating between claiming they’re totally in line with leftist dogma & defiantly martyring themselves. Each strategy is strategically employed at the exact moment it will inflict maximum damage to their cause every single god damn time. Then they pat themselves on the back because even though they totally fucked everything up down here on earth saint peter will reward them for being virtue signaling morons when they get to the pearly gates.
Obviously that's not literally how they view it, that'd take a level of self awareness that simply does not exist in the majority of population in general, but that's certainly how they conduct themselves.
It's painful, it literally hurts my brain. If not for Dave's & by extension Ann Coulter's writing on the subject of rightist retardation providing me catharsis & avatars of commiseration I'd have much much shorter lifespan. I'm not entirely sure that's a good thing given the direction things are going but in the short term it helps me stay calm.
Speaking of which I honestly don't know how in the fuck Dave remains as calm as he does given everything he's gone through. It must take an incredible amount of mental fortitude for him to remain calm, occasional binges of alcohol or no, it must be very trying. It's honestly impressive, I sometimes lose sight of that but this article reminded me of that.
Anyway I apologize for stream of consciousness combining my reply to you with the separate comment I had planned to make on the article itself. I get carried away sometimes & due to the irritating way the substack comment box works on mobile I don't want to risk deleting everything I wrote to clean it up. That's happened many times now to the point any time I write a comment in the back of my mind I'm praying I maintain the motor skills necessary to not accidentally bump my thumb 2 millimeters away from the comment box onto the cancel button they put right under it like an asshole. Seriously whoever designed that is a sadistic mother fucker lol.
Have you ever heard of L-theanine? It's the ingredient in green tea that gives it it's calming effect.
I found out about it years ago & it really works to tone down irritability, something about producing alpha waves in the brain or some shit.
Its not a drug or anything & it's pretty common, most grocery stores sell it. Every blue moon I quit cigarettes for like a year or so & it's a godsend for calming my nerves during withdrawals. I'm high strung as it is let alone when I'm going nuts during those periods so that's saying something lol. I've recommended it to tons of people & every single time they're shocked at how effective it is.
I have digestion issues so I basically have to buy the expensive suntheanine stuff that's bonded to coconut oil, if I take the regular cheap pills it doesn't work nearly as well it ends up costing the same anyway which is why I only reserve it for when I really need it. For the vast majority of people cheap generic versions sold at CVS & the like is perfectly adequate.
You should try it, I recommend at least 200 mg, I need that as a baseline twice a day because for me I notice it wears off after 8 hours or so but others it seems to last longer, everyone's body processes things differently ya know I'd say experiment with it. If money wasn't a thing I'd take 400mg twice a day forever, I haven’t tried more than that for financial reasons so I don't know where it caps at.
Now it is just a naturally occurring supplement, it's subtle, it's not like valium so don't expect it to be that calming lol but it is noticeable especially when it wears off. People take it when they drink coffee to dampen their jitters & edge from the caffeine. Anyway I nor anyone else who has taken it has noticed any other side effects besides it's calming effect.
I tell you what, I haven’t donated in a while, I usually throw you 20 bucks, I'll make it thirty this time, consider using the extra ten bucks to get a bottle, that's roughly what it costs at my local stores & on amazon. You don't have to of course, spend it however you want but I think it couldn't hurt to try it with that extra ten. If you do try it do let me know if it helped at all.
Awesome! Hopefully it helps! I've yet to encounter anyone who didn't notice an improvement.
Actually just remembered something funny, I used to have to work with this unhinged asshole named larry every so often on construction jobs, everyone called him psycho larry behind his back. Couldn't say that to his face because he was technically our boss on those jobs. Anyway I started taking L-theanine to help stay calm & one of the other guys got kicked off the job for, rightfully, snapping at him. When he came back the next day I gave him some of those pills & he liked them so much he told everyone about it so everyone started taking them whenever we had to work with Larry. It became a meme among our crew known as larry pills so for years now anytime someone gets mad someone will invariably say "go take some larry pills & chill out" lol. It made working with that prick much more tolerable which if you knew him is a hell of an endorsement.
But thanks, I'd honestly be surprised if it didn't do anything, a 200mg pill is the equivalent of drinking like 8 glasses of green tea, it's totally non toxic & occurs in small amounts in some foods but unfortunately not enough to be noticeable. Even with drinking green tea it's very mild unless it's brewed to be very dense with tea & you're drinking it all day long.
Personally I really notice how effective it is when it wears off, it's very subtle but once it runs out of my system I'm always like "oh wow that definitely made a difference I better take another" lol.
But yeah man definitely let me know & thanks, crossing my fingers that it helps you like it did for me & so many others I've recommended it to.
I'm going to try it myself- not for dealing w/ people I work w/ (most of whom are generally cool-and I don't have to deal w/ anyone day-to-day) but for dealing w/ the stress of our societal decent in utter insanity (don't get me going on the current "TERF warfare" over the Algerian boxer!)
Abdul-very good stream of consciousness BTW!! I totally agree w/what you state above! And yes- Dave does impress w/ his "keep calm (sort of) and carry on"!
But Dave- you know we who do subscribe and stay- TRULY appreciate you and your relentless honesty!
Thanks for the kind words, it's good to know that at least sometimes my unhinged rambling is well received lol.
As for Dave, after reading this I realize I so often take for granted how utterly mentally tortious it must be for him. I'm just an anonymous dude & I'm raging like hell at the world, I cannot even fathom how blood boiling it must be to be invoked nonstop & especially post twitter ban being totally unable to respond.
I thought about buying Dave a year long subscription to a VPN so he could make another account & float under the radar but upon thinking about it I realized he would just get banned again. I know firsthand, I got locked out of two separate accounts for pointing out that jews do not have mind control powers.
There’s no quicker way to get banned than to push back on holocaust denial, hitler worship & the "Whites are innocent angels who were tricked into being morons by jews" dogma that is rampant on the site.
In my case it's probably for the best that I don't use twitter anymore, that article that whined about Dave being able to trick WASPs is proof positive that these people are physically incapable of learning anything. The whole sentimentality angle Dave talked about wooshed past his head so fast it broke the sound barrier & in doing so perfectly demonstrated how people like that have no real interest in actuality affecting change. Instead they'd rather mimic blacks who have a victim complex & blame the White devil for everything except it's jews.
I do miss the Cole burning on twitter though, that's what I mentally coined for when Dave intellectually roasted idiots on there. You know it's like burn the coal pay the toll except it's in reverse, the Cole burns them & he collects their toll lol. I don't know why I find that so funny, I make myself laugh with stuff like that.
Holocaust revisionism is to honest debate what Chernobyl is to humanity - so poisoned as to be untouchable for the next 20,000 years. At best, the subject is a sacred cow admitting of only one interpretation, to deviate from which is a blasphemy that condemns a man forever to the margins. Add to this the truism that people can forgive one anything - except being right... - and you have the strange case of David Cole. A prophet despised in his own country (and by his own people). Verily you've been cursed with an inquiring mind - the greatest sin of all in our era of bovine conformity.
In any sane world you would have been applauded for addressing the subject of Holocaust revisionism in a way that draws on inflections, inferences and a need for nuance... but so few people speak that old-fashioned language these days. You might as well be rattling away in Sanskrit. That said, some of us (on this page) are not tin-eared and have benefitted enormously from your expertise in the subject.
The truth is that, from about 1990 onwards, the Holocaust has brought out the worst in the extremists of both sides: the right wing vloggers (whom I know all too well) who, like Hitler in 20s Munich, see the Jew everywhere, behind everything - versus the hardcore Jewish lobby who view the goyim as fair game to be manipulated in the cause of Zionism (whatever that actually amounts to above and beyond the vague sphere of a [perceived] disproportionate Jewish influence in the halls of power). (Incidentally, in this regard how increasingly noble Jared Taylor's capacity for nuance looms as time goes by...)
Similarly, contemporary debate has become a vulgar modern colosseum: you must support a gladiator: you either love or loathe (for example) a Jordan Peterson or a Douglas Murray and applaud/condemn every utterance they come up with.
Not that I'm advocating an escape into insipid 'on the one hand/on the other equivocation - some subjects are black and white and should be called as such. But I am saying that this is (to say the very least!) not an age of adult dialectic and that we who endure its vulgar intellectual brutalism should not expect to be treated with any dignity by its foul exponents. That being the case it is up to us to support each other and to find solace in our own and each other's finest perceptions, expressions and communications of good will. That's all we really have left. Thank heavens for Takimag and the renegade spirit of its best writers.
Extremely well-said, James, and very much appreciated. Thank you! And indeed, there's a reason Taylor and I are friends. We both embrace exactly those factors you praise. But to be frank, we feel increasingly isolated these days.
And yet, David - and for what it’s worth (and I do believe it is worth quite a lot actually) - it will be your names that are remembered when the roll call of the good and just is read out in future ages….
Thanks for this article. Your work has been very important to me in being able to properly dispute denialists, a position which seems to be becoming increasingly (and worryingly) more common on the far-right. It would be great to see you debate someone like Fuentes and verbally stomp the shit out of him, but unfortunately I don't see it happening.
Given that I’m reading Montefiore’s biography of Stalin, I find the rationale for the Holocaust that the senior Nazi’s didn’t want to be compared to Bolsheviks very interesting. As I progress through the book I find myself constantly wondering- which group of actual genocidal maniacs was worse. Sorry about the dilemma you find yourself in, and I hope getting it all down had some therapeutic benefit. It probably is no consolation that you have to be one of the very few people who is despised by people on both the left and right. In any event, have a couple of beers on me for the weekend.
I've found that the way to get your good stuff into Wikipedia is to populate info about people in small towns that no one cares about at all. Then, when you get about 20 citations over some amount of time (I have multiple handles, and different computers at my office and home, plus I utilize private browsing and other tactics) then you can sneak in what you want to say on the more actively edited sites, and it is less suspicious.
You have to subtly push against the liberal bullshit or they will catch you. If your remarks get too much attention too soon, they will nuke you. I had a great gag going once that I bragged about to family, then they posted all sorts of bullshit on the same site - and we all got washed out. So, I'll have to keep quiet - just consider this further proof that the site is not perfect.
This is a remarkably compelling article detailing your history and how unfairly maligned you've been, David. As I read through this I find myself more and more incensed with the irrational zealots like Debra Messing who just blindly lash out at people such as yourself and only end up doing far more harm than good. Seriously, fuck these people. You're an essential voice is refuting Holocaust denialism and yet you've been silenced because of these "do-gooder" morons. It's such a fucking waste. My god ... and yet I still find hope that one day the record will be set and you'll be vindicated. I really do.
Thank you, Bill. I truly appreciate the comment, and your longtime support. I kinda have to hold on to hope myself! If only for my state of mind. I'm not by nature a bleak person, and I have to believe that one day things can be set right. So I keep moving forward with that hope.
Monsieur Cole: I read every page in the book "Reclaiming History" concerning Oswald killing Kennedy, all 2000+ of them, written by the late Chief LA Prosecutor Vince Bugliosi, who prosecuted Manson and convicted him of murder (and about a hundred others through the years). You have his clear-headed ability to find relevant facts and present them. Your style reminds me of him. Ya'll are both very fucking convincing.
Since then, I have never debated the Kennedy assassination with anyone who hasn't read the whole book. Anyone who hasn't extensively read your writings shouldn't debate whether you are a denier, nor should they have the audacity to call you a "denier." They are just not properly informed.
According to Deuteronomy 19:16–21, Jewish law states that false witnesses should receive the same punishment they intended to give to the person they falsely accused. What punishment should those bastards receive?
P.S. AJC.org, in one of its investigations, "Holocaust Denial" by Kenneth Stern, published the transcript of your Montel Williams appearance, starting on page 113.
Yes, it wasn't until 1994 that Lipstadt mandated that I must be called a "denier," and she bullied others to follow suit. I'll confess I haven't read Reclaiming History, but Bugliosi was a hell of a good writer when it came to rationally presenting a case.
This reads like a 'let's put one's affairs in order' letter before downing a bottle of absinthe and two dozen valium. Don't do it David!
On a serious note, I don't think you could be clearer or more rigorous of your position - and by God do we need people like you challenging received thinking - but the general capacity for nuance is dead So fuck em.
Where can I get a copy of Republican Party Animal that isn't $75 on Ebay?
Thank you, Adam! And man, do I wish I had copies to sell. But that book has become as rare as a white tiger. Last year a friend in Amsterdam found a pristine copy in a bookstore. He sent it to me, and I auctioned it, signed, and let's just say it helped keep me in food and booze for a month. I only own two copies, and that's it!
Dave, pardon a swerve into the blasphemy lane, but your testimony here has a biblical ring to it. The story of humanity (besides the constantly killing one another part) is the quest to carve out a position on a topic and then spend a lifetime collecting either exemplary avatars (pro) or incorrigible punching bags (con) to illustrate and self-justify one's position. People are small, and the ones who just gotta do 'em some punching are the smallest.
"You got any idea what it's like having a cult of morons who worship a fictional version of you that exists only in their low-IQ minds?" I think Shakespeare originally wanted to put that sentence into the mouth of Richard III but lined it out in the manuscript as being a tad too "21st Century". Anyway, it's brilliant and timeless, both hallmarks of the sublime.
I can't help but believe you are a latter-day Voltaire. You may not be able to rid yourself of the Cult of Morons (you should trademark that!), but damn if you can't put words together. Have a beer on me.
Hi Dave! I am extremely glad you posted The Chronology. Whilst I was reading it, there was a considerable degree of frustration punctuated by bursts of cussing and beating the table with my fist. The way you've been mistreated angers me. The soil of Europe is soaked in the blood of the innocent from that damn war. The least we can do to honor their memory is to seek and document the truth about what actually happened to them. Admitted youthful error aside, It seems to me that your efforts have always been dedicated to that end. The negative response you've received, from both sides and the media, indicates that your critics have quite another agenda.
I honestly - she probably didn't have to. She's a rich kid, she grew up in leafy green snooty-ass East Greenwich RI. Her parents probably knew someone who knew someone.
Well, nobody HAS to have a showbusiness career .... unless you JUST HAVE to have one, in which case you´ll do anything, no matter how much money you may already have ...
Yes, it's always an inner urge, unconnected to money or prospects.
Hell, James O'Keefe would give up his "sting" videos in a second for a regular acting gig. It's an urge. That's why it always fails when Hollywood tries to Affirmative Action MOAR BLACKS or MOAR MESSICANS into the biz. You either have the desire or you don't, but it's not like a clerk job or tech job where people just need something to pay the bills so they jump at job offerings. It's a passion.
I remember reading (in reference to Madonna) that those who seek fame have a big hole inside that they need audience response and adulation to fill. It's a bottomless pit.
Thank you, Dave, for the chronology. It helped to put a few things in perspective for me and answered a number of questions. I have also read through the comments and as usual I see a lot of smart-funny-thoughtful stuff. I doubt that I could do better, I won't even try. I'd rather comment on the one thing that will eat away at me if I don't say something. It's not a weakness to admit that this particular brand of bullshit is taking a toll. It would take a toll on anyone. I find that I often need to remind myself that life isn't fair. Because life ain't fair. At all. In any way shape or form. But this is way beyond unfair. Because this is more than life throwing you a curveball. This is deliberate and ugly as hell. And you are allowed to feel it. You may be a bit beat up, but you aren't broken. Dig through all of that snark and humor, push it aside and you find other stuff. There's sensitivity and fairness to start. And when you let it out, there's this light that just shines on and that is something that no one can take from you. You are far from weak, Dave.
An exceptionally kind and uplifting comment, Sandy. I thank you, sincerely; comments like yours are a huge help. My situation does get me down, but I get through it by never losing a sense of perspective. My situation is tough but not hopeless, and though I'm older and creakier, I still have some fight in me! So I keep on. And I'm grateful for supporters like you!
BTW, Dave you should put the alt-censored link somewhere more permanent, or archive.org your videos. The "banned" IHR speech (https://altcensored.com/watch?v=iP-BUXdoQGc) is a perfect complement to this article and everyone reading here should watch it. It shows you've always held integrity and truth in the highest regard, but it's also some of the best standup I've ever seen from a precocious gadfly in a bad room.
Shermer wanting to gas dogs to scientifically verify Nazi gas chambers is comedy gold and deserved a way bigger laugh.
I just heard Dave say in the linked vid that he lost his virginity in high school and his integrity on The Phil Donahue Show---and I just saw at Drudge that the white-haired windbag himself died, age 88!
Take heart Dave. In a parallel universe you were lauded a national hero for your circumspection and honest, clear-minded rational thinking and that guy’s been motor-boating the hot warrior chick from Heavy Metal the past 20 years.
The Amazon thing is such a great example of why the right always loses: Leftists will use any underhanded means necessary to destroy their enemies (ex: Letitia James using lawfare to kill VDARE through bankruptcy via legal fees).

But no GOP politician has picked up this obvious crown lying in a gutter and none ever will.
Also hope you at least got a chuckle over Messing getting denounced by pally-wally supporting leftists. There's this columnist I know who denounces the pally-wallies and their idiot supporters and whose work should be far more widely distributed except he was defacto made unpublishable by...
Deb Messing.
LOL!!!! A great irony indeed!!!
And you're 100% right about conservatives and Amazon. But as we saw with Trump and TikTok, Big Tech has a way of "convincing" politicians of both parties to look the other way...unfortunately.
There´s something Old Testament about the Dave Cole - the guy who loses faith in Jehovah but nonetheless has to let Jehovah know about him not believing in Jehovah anymore by dumping on the sacred story of Shoah. But the Old Testament God doesn´t fuck around and teaches Dave Cole a kind of lesson. But the lesson isn´t obvious, and is buried in a lesson buried in a lesson. Idiots (like me, who are in for the entertainment!) can´t see it. But I stick around to see if I finally see it. Maybe only at the very final end.

Anyway, again, great comment bro.
It's the alcohol binges! But at the moment I gotta be sober (my July bender went WAY too far), so I'm especially prickly.

You're a trusted friend, so I'll take your very kind donation and give it a try as suggested. And I'll keep you abreast of what happens!
Awesome! Hopefully it helps! I've yet to encounter anyone who didn't notice an improvement.

I'm going to try it myself- not for dealing w/ people I work w/ (most of whom are generally cool-and I don't have to deal w/ anyone day-to-day) but for dealing w/ the stress of our societal decent in utter insanity (don't get me going on the current "TERF warfare" over the Algerian boxer!)
Abdul-very good stream of consciousness BTW!! I totally agree w/what you state above! And yes- Dave does impress w/ his "keep calm (sort of) and carry on"!
But Dave- you know we who do subscribe and stay- TRULY appreciate you and your relentless honesty!
Thanks for the kind words, it's good to know that at least sometimes my unhinged rambling is well received lol.
As for Dave, after reading this I realize I so often take for granted how utterly mentally tortious it must be for him. I'm just an anonymous dude & I'm raging like hell at the world, I cannot even fathom how blood boiling it must be to be invoked nonstop & especially post twitter ban being totally unable to respond.
I thought about buying Dave a year long subscription to a VPN so he could make another account & float under the radar but upon thinking about it I realized he would just get banned again. I know firsthand, I got locked out of two separate accounts for pointing out that jews do not have mind control powers.
There’s no quicker way to get banned than to push back on holocaust denial, hitler worship & the "Whites are innocent angels who were tricked into being morons by jews" dogma that is rampant on the site.
In my case it's probably for the best that I don't use twitter anymore, that article that whined about Dave being able to trick WASPs is proof positive that these people are physically incapable of learning anything. The whole sentimentality angle Dave talked about wooshed past his head so fast it broke the sound barrier & in doing so perfectly demonstrated how people like that have no real interest in actuality affecting change. Instead they'd rather mimic blacks who have a victim complex & blame the White devil for everything except it's jews.
I do miss the Cole burning on twitter though, that's what I mentally coined for when Dave intellectually roasted idiots on there. You know it's like burn the coal pay the toll except it's in reverse, the Cole burns them & he collects their toll lol. I don't know why I find that so funny, I make myself laugh with stuff like that.
I miss Twitter too, but I'm very thankful you're here in these comments, my friend!
Appreciate it bro.
And I thank you, Kate! You folks help keep me going!
Holocaust revisionism is to honest debate what Chernobyl is to humanity - so poisoned as to be untouchable for the next 20,000 years. At best, the subject is a sacred cow admitting of only one interpretation, to deviate from which is a blasphemy that condemns a man forever to the margins. Add to this the truism that people can forgive one anything - except being right... - and you have the strange case of David Cole. A prophet despised in his own country (and by his own people). Verily you've been cursed with an inquiring mind - the greatest sin of all in our era of bovine conformity.
In any sane world you would have been applauded for addressing the subject of Holocaust revisionism in a way that draws on inflections, inferences and a need for nuance... but so few people speak that old-fashioned language these days. You might as well be rattling away in Sanskrit. That said, some of us (on this page) are not tin-eared and have benefitted enormously from your expertise in the subject.
The truth is that, from about 1990 onwards, the Holocaust has brought out the worst in the extremists of both sides: the right wing vloggers (whom I know all too well) who, like Hitler in 20s Munich, see the Jew everywhere, behind everything - versus the hardcore Jewish lobby who view the goyim as fair game to be manipulated in the cause of Zionism (whatever that actually amounts to above and beyond the vague sphere of a [perceived] disproportionate Jewish influence in the halls of power). (Incidentally, in this regard how increasingly noble Jared Taylor's capacity for nuance looms as time goes by...)
Similarly, contemporary debate has become a vulgar modern colosseum: you must support a gladiator: you either love or loathe (for example) a Jordan Peterson or a Douglas Murray and applaud/condemn every utterance they come up with.
Not that I'm advocating an escape into insipid 'on the one hand/on the other equivocation - some subjects are black and white and should be called as such. But I am saying that this is (to say the very least!) not an age of adult dialectic and that we who endure its vulgar intellectual brutalism should not expect to be treated with any dignity by its foul exponents. That being the case it is up to us to support each other and to find solace in our own and each other's finest perceptions, expressions and communications of good will. That's all we really have left. Thank heavens for Takimag and the renegade spirit of its best writers.
Extremely well-said, James, and very much appreciated. Thank you! And indeed, there's a reason Taylor and I are friends. We both embrace exactly those factors you praise. But to be frank, we feel increasingly isolated these days.
And yet, David - and for what it’s worth (and I do believe it is worth quite a lot actually) - it will be your names that are remembered when the roll call of the good and just is read out in future ages….
Well, that's a very kind thought. I hope so!
Now I have the image of Chernobyl deniers going into the reactor to get samples of the elephant's foot and dying instantly from radiation poisoning.
LOL!
Well put!
Thanks for this article. Your work has been very important to me in being able to properly dispute denialists, a position which seems to be becoming increasingly (and worryingly) more common on the far-right. It would be great to see you debate someone like Fuentes and verbally stomp the shit out of him, but unfortunately I don't see it happening.
When Fuentes first got into denial, I reached out to him privately to offer to explain why it's an error-laden path. He blocked me. So, I tried!
He is a closed-minded son of a bitch indeed.
Given that I’m reading Montefiore’s biography of Stalin, I find the rationale for the Holocaust that the senior Nazi’s didn’t want to be compared to Bolsheviks very interesting. As I progress through the book I find myself constantly wondering- which group of actual genocidal maniacs was worse. Sorry about the dilemma you find yourself in, and I hope getting it all down had some therapeutic benefit. It probably is no consolation that you have to be one of the very few people who is despised by people on both the left and right. In any event, have a couple of beers on me for the weekend.
The beers are most welcome, my friend, as are the kind words, and your support. Thank you, Brian!
And indeed, one can spend years on the Nazis vs. Bolsheviks question. It's endlessly fascinating for any history buff.
I feel like messing with Debra’s Wikipedia article, but that would be wrong
After all, her time as a rodeo whore is mostly behind her
It’s definitely a step above carnival whore. She paid her dues
I have nothing against a pretty and skinny whore who charges reasonable prices, and provides a girlfriend experience for an hour or two.
Wait a minute-- shouldn't that be "empowered sex-worker"?
If you prefer
I've found that the way to get your good stuff into Wikipedia is to populate info about people in small towns that no one cares about at all. Then, when you get about 20 citations over some amount of time (I have multiple handles, and different computers at my office and home, plus I utilize private browsing and other tactics) then you can sneak in what you want to say on the more actively edited sites, and it is less suspicious.
You have to subtly push against the liberal bullshit or they will catch you. If your remarks get too much attention too soon, they will nuke you. I had a great gag going once that I bragged about to family, then they posted all sorts of bullshit on the same site - and we all got washed out. So, I'll have to keep quiet - just consider this further proof that the site is not perfect.
brilliant plan JW!!
This is a remarkably compelling article detailing your history and how unfairly maligned you've been, David. As I read through this I find myself more and more incensed with the irrational zealots like Debra Messing who just blindly lash out at people such as yourself and only end up doing far more harm than good. Seriously, fuck these people. You're an essential voice is refuting Holocaust denialism and yet you've been silenced because of these "do-gooder" morons. It's such a fucking waste. My god ... and yet I still find hope that one day the record will be set and you'll be vindicated. I really do.
Thank you, Bill. I truly appreciate the comment, and your longtime support. I kinda have to hold on to hope myself! If only for my state of mind. I'm not by nature a bleak person, and I have to believe that one day things can be set right. So I keep moving forward with that hope.
Monsieur Cole: I read every page in the book "Reclaiming History" concerning Oswald killing Kennedy, all 2000+ of them, written by the late Chief LA Prosecutor Vince Bugliosi, who prosecuted Manson and convicted him of murder (and about a hundred others through the years). You have his clear-headed ability to find relevant facts and present them. Your style reminds me of him. Ya'll are both very fucking convincing.
Since then, I have never debated the Kennedy assassination with anyone who hasn't read the whole book. Anyone who hasn't extensively read your writings shouldn't debate whether you are a denier, nor should they have the audacity to call you a "denier." They are just not properly informed.
According to Deuteronomy 19:16–21, Jewish law states that false witnesses should receive the same punishment they intended to give to the person they falsely accused. What punishment should those bastards receive?
P.S. AJC.org, in one of its investigations, "Holocaust Denial" by Kenneth Stern, published the transcript of your Montel Williams appearance, starting on page 113.
https://www.ajc.org/sites/default/files/pdf/2017-08/HolocaustDenial.pdf
I read the entire transcript, and you defended yourself well, even at 22. Plus, they referred to you as a revisionist, thankfully.
Yes, it wasn't until 1994 that Lipstadt mandated that I must be called a "denier," and she bullied others to follow suit. I'll confess I haven't read Reclaiming History, but Bugliosi was a hell of a good writer when it came to rationally presenting a case.
This reads like a 'let's put one's affairs in order' letter before downing a bottle of absinthe and two dozen valium. Don't do it David!
On a serious note, I don't think you could be clearer or more rigorous of your position - and by God do we need people like you challenging received thinking - but the general capacity for nuance is dead So fuck em.
Where can I get a copy of Republican Party Animal that isn't $75 on Ebay?
Adam
Thank you, Adam! And man, do I wish I had copies to sell. But that book has become as rare as a white tiger. Last year a friend in Amsterdam found a pristine copy in a bookstore. He sent it to me, and I auctioned it, signed, and let's just say it helped keep me in food and booze for a month. I only own two copies, and that's it!
Dave, pardon a swerve into the blasphemy lane, but your testimony here has a biblical ring to it. The story of humanity (besides the constantly killing one another part) is the quest to carve out a position on a topic and then spend a lifetime collecting either exemplary avatars (pro) or incorrigible punching bags (con) to illustrate and self-justify one's position. People are small, and the ones who just gotta do 'em some punching are the smallest.
"You got any idea what it's like having a cult of morons who worship a fictional version of you that exists only in their low-IQ minds?" I think Shakespeare originally wanted to put that sentence into the mouth of Richard III but lined it out in the manuscript as being a tad too "21st Century". Anyway, it's brilliant and timeless, both hallmarks of the sublime.
I can't help but believe you are a latter-day Voltaire. You may not be able to rid yourself of the Cult of Morons (you should trademark that!), but damn if you can't put words together. Have a beer on me.
Thank you so much, Patrick! That's a kind and wonderful comment, and a great thing to see first thing in the morning. Very much appreciated!
Hi Dave! I am extremely glad you posted The Chronology. Whilst I was reading it, there was a considerable degree of frustration punctuated by bursts of cussing and beating the table with my fist. The way you've been mistreated angers me. The soil of Europe is soaked in the blood of the innocent from that damn war. The least we can do to honor their memory is to seek and document the truth about what actually happened to them. Admitted youthful error aside, It seems to me that your efforts have always been dedicated to that end. The negative response you've received, from both sides and the media, indicates that your critics have quite another agenda.
Thank you, Terry. That's a very kind and very powerful comment, and I greatly appreciate it.
None of this matters. The only thing that matters is how much dick Debra Messing sucked in order to get a showbusiness career.
LOL!!!!
I honestly - she probably didn't have to. She's a rich kid, she grew up in leafy green snooty-ass East Greenwich RI. Her parents probably knew someone who knew someone.
Well, nobody HAS to have a showbusiness career .... unless you JUST HAVE to have one, in which case you´ll do anything, no matter how much money you may already have ...
Yes, it's always an inner urge, unconnected to money or prospects.
Hell, James O'Keefe would give up his "sting" videos in a second for a regular acting gig. It's an urge. That's why it always fails when Hollywood tries to Affirmative Action MOAR BLACKS or MOAR MESSICANS into the biz. You either have the desire or you don't, but it's not like a clerk job or tech job where people just need something to pay the bills so they jump at job offerings. It's a passion.
I remember reading (in reference to Madonna) that those who seek fame have a big hole inside that they need audience response and adulation to fill. It's a bottomless pit.
Thank you, Dave, for the chronology. It helped to put a few things in perspective for me and answered a number of questions. I have also read through the comments and as usual I see a lot of smart-funny-thoughtful stuff. I doubt that I could do better, I won't even try. I'd rather comment on the one thing that will eat away at me if I don't say something. It's not a weakness to admit that this particular brand of bullshit is taking a toll. It would take a toll on anyone. I find that I often need to remind myself that life isn't fair. Because life ain't fair. At all. In any way shape or form. But this is way beyond unfair. Because this is more than life throwing you a curveball. This is deliberate and ugly as hell. And you are allowed to feel it. You may be a bit beat up, but you aren't broken. Dig through all of that snark and humor, push it aside and you find other stuff. There's sensitivity and fairness to start. And when you let it out, there's this light that just shines on and that is something that no one can take from you. You are far from weak, Dave.
An exceptionally kind and uplifting comment, Sandy. I thank you, sincerely; comments like yours are a huge help. My situation does get me down, but I get through it by never losing a sense of perspective. My situation is tough but not hopeless, and though I'm older and creakier, I still have some fight in me! So I keep on. And I'm grateful for supporters like you!
BTW, Dave you should put the alt-censored link somewhere more permanent, or archive.org your videos. The "banned" IHR speech (https://altcensored.com/watch?v=iP-BUXdoQGc) is a perfect complement to this article and everyone reading here should watch it. It shows you've always held integrity and truth in the highest regard, but it's also some of the best standup I've ever seen from a precocious gadfly in a bad room.
Shermer wanting to gas dogs to scientifically verify Nazi gas chambers is comedy gold and deserved a way bigger laugh.
I just heard Dave say in the linked vid that he lost his virginity in high school and his integrity on The Phil Donahue Show---and I just saw at Drudge that the white-haired windbag himself died, age 88!
He died at 88 — HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
And Happy High Holy Days to all Dave's commenters!
Thanks for the link, great lunchtime listening---nice break from Mearsheimer, Napolitano and Daniel Davis podcasts.
"Crazy laughter in another room / Dave don't drive yourself to madness with a gold doubloon...."
It's a good idea about archiving the videos. I'll start figuring that out. Thanks!
Waaah 😭 I gotta click on the substack link! Unthubthcribe! Unthubthcribe! Waaa! 😩
LOL!!!!
Thanks a lot for the article. I remember asking you something of sorts when I was on X.
Yes, a prime reason I put the time into doing this is that I wanted to respond to one of my most frequently-asked questions.
Take heart Dave. In a parallel universe you were lauded a national hero for your circumspection and honest, clear-minded rational thinking and that guy’s been motor-boating the hot warrior chick from Heavy Metal the past 20 years.
LOL!!!!
