Dave: your assignment for next week is to write a column that makes sense of Haiti. Plz include zombie movies as a sub- genre of horror movies that originate from Haiti; Clinton honeymoon; 1700 active missionaries in Haiti --1970's Haiti was the most active field for Protestantism https://www.christianitytoday.com/2023/02/haiti-untold-history-of-missions-what-evangelicals-owe/ . If you can't make sense of Haiti , then a few pro Trump cat memes will suffice
Dave , make history and provide Trump with the winning margin by creating a meme that illustrates to cat ladies their cats’ peril based off TPS behavior in Springfield
If Tucker "had a pair" he would invite you to to do a nice long sit down interview. I used to watch him, and his colleagues on FFNC (F'n Fox News Chan.). Then one day I said to myself, "life is short, my time left on this rock is too valuable to waste 3hours five nights a week on this drivel" . . . so I UNTHUBSCRIBED from satellite TV, cold turkey, no meds !!!
I did the same with cable, which I had when I was taking care of my elderly dad (he liked having a TV). But once he passed, I just shut it off, had 'em come collect their boxes, and I've been cable-free for 5 years.
That's the same situation I had with my dad too. No satellite TV since 2019 I seldom watch TV, except for local news from Abilene. I should not watch the Donald & Que Mala show, but I will, vodka is gonna be necessary!!!
I keep my satellite for a different reason. There is so much left-wing bullshit being put out by Hollywood and their fellow travelers these days that I need a huge catalog to find something worthwhile to watch.
I'd look it up on the internet and pay per view, but it is hard to find what I want because of all the paid search results that get gamed into the system. Plus, usually to watch what I want, I have to subscribe to another paid service, then cancel or get billed for eternity. (I don't mind in the case of Takimag)
What more can I say: You knocked it out of the park with this one. BTW the pseudohistorian guy is also a big Pally Wally backer (I know, you're shocked) and constantly moans about the evils of Dresden and Hiroshima in his "the allies were the real baddies" fantasy.
Thank you, Mike! Yeah, there's a lot more I'd have wanted to go off on the guy about, but in part to stay focused and in part due to my word limit, I kept it on topic. But let's see what happens; if the dude wants a prolonged fight, I'll be happy to do an encore.
I think there's a good case to be made that Dresden and Hiroshima shouldn't have happened. I'm not in favor of second-guessing actual combatants with criminal indictments for war crimes, but we can make a judgement of history. Of course, non-combatant torturers like SS guards, water-boarding guards and Israeli prisoner torturers should not have that immunity.
Wait, so it’s cool to drop A-bombs indiscriminately on Japanese women and children? And to fire-bomb whole European cities of extraordinary cultural beauty and value? Excellent. Just so’s I know.
Glad to be of service! I'm glad for the A Bomb because it meant my grandparents didn't have to die in a land invasion of Japan and the Nazis sure didn't seem to give a fuck about bombing English cities so I don't give a shit about one of their cities being bombed.
The glibness of this response does you no credit, nor does it redound to anyone else's understanding of the A bomb dilemma. If David Cole's writing has a drawback it is his encouragement of this sort of facile moral short-hand couched in a pseudo-slick argot. Is this a serious discussion or are you typing with one finger while eating pasta and watching the game?
"...the Nazis sure didn't seem to give a fuck about bombing English cities..."
Hitler only started to bomb British cities AFTER the British repeatedly bombed Berlin. It was the British who started with the bombings of cities because, after getting their asses kicked in Dunkirk, killing German women and children in cities was all they could do (the German men weren't in the cities, they were away fighting).
"Wait, so it’s cool to drop A-bombs indiscriminately on Japanese women and children? And to fire-bomb whole European cities of extraordinary cultural beauty and value? Excellent."
Of course it's OK! Especially when they have clearly lost and the war is almost over!!! Those women and children voted for Hitler and Tojo don't yah know?! They're just as guilty and deserving of death as all those thousands of Palestinian toddlers in Gaza who voted for Hamas!
Personally, I like how during the Nuremberg Trials American truth-seekers crushed German testicles in order to extract confessions. Apparently you'll sign any paper the US government puts in front of you after they've crushed your first testicle and are about to crush the second one - that is if you don't sign.
But, but, but....The Holocaust!!!!!
Now, on cue, we need Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Homeland Secretary Mayorkas, and Attorney General Garland ("Garfinkel" - before the name change) to tell us one more time - like pulling the string on one of those 1960's talkin' toys - "I had relatives who died in the Holocaust."
Tens of millions of innocent people, besides the forever talked about Jews, suffered and died in WWII. It's repulsive when only one peoples' suffering is repeatedly and continuously talked about while everyone else's just-as-great suffering is either belittled, excused, or completely forgotten.
Purposely bombing civilians, women and children in non-military targets, is a war crime; in that regard, American and British shit stinks just as much as Nazi shit.
Oxymoronic thinking. First you say bombing women and children is a war crime, next you celebrate the destruction of Dresden (et al). Make your mind up. As for The Holocaust: David Cole's page addresses it frequently. It's a subject that has dominated his life for better and worse one way or another. He's become a definitive expert on the matter. We benefit from that. He's on the side of the angels. Does this make him a saint? Is he, indeed, an altogether savoury person? I suspect he'd celebrate his exclusion from any form of canonisation.
As for your support for torture as a means to extract confession: it has no basis in any humane view of existence. Couldf you torture a man, a woman? No. You couldn't - because you're not a psycho.
The "right?" tic drives me nuts. It's everywhere. Sports, weather, politics, entertainment. Had to go to jury duty selection today. The judge, prosecutor, and defense attorney all did it.
It's so ever-present these days, I can't help but wonder how much is just people absorbing it subconsciously, or if public speaking "gurus" are teaching it as a way to be a POWERFUL SPEAKER!!!
I once got out of jury duty (it was a civil case) by saying that I would not be impartial, Not that I couldn't be, that I wouldn't be. Because it was obvious the plaintiff was a grifter.
They can ask for a doctor's note with a diagnosis. Funny thing was, I had a valid excuse which was no car in an area with no public transportation. It was almost 50 miles one way. But they won't accept that excuse. You have to show up and explain your case to the judge. Well, if I could show up to explain myself, I wouldn't need to be excused.
If Hell froze over, would you accept if Tucker Carlson wanted to interview you? How about Joe Rogan or Jordan Peterson? If not, why?
I'm sure you've considered this, but why don't you self-publish an updated version of your book? Without a major publisher and a listing on Amazon, it won't sell as much. But I'm sure many supporters and stealth readers would order it, perhaps generating considerable income.
I'm beyond broke, but I'd Livestream a cam show to pre-order it now! Sorry for that visual! Lol!
By the way, I was simultaneously and temporarily censored on X and Instagram for no credible reason other than posting inspiring quotes and empirically based content that supports individual freedom and counters the statist agenda. I commented about it in your last article before the recent The Week that Perished.
I advocate for Dave to self-publish as well. However, it doesn't seem to appeal to him.
I believe a proper publisher has an entire apparatus for obtaining distribution and publicity, though I'm not in the industry and cannot comment beyond this speculation. Perhaps some prestige also attaches. The final suspect is that the bastards will publish Mr. Cole, but not pay him enough to make it worth it to him, so he refuses on principle.
I refuse to let an ugly fat girl give me a blowjob - we all have our line in the sand.
Ol' Dave is a great writer, it is a gift, and the world needs to hear what he writes.
You can publish on Amazon and get great exposure. I re-published a book by a very brave guy guy, Larry Grathwohl, who had gone undercover as a young Vietnam veteran in the despicable Weather Underground, and a lot of books sold in the first two years, then I wrote to some university libraries, and more books sold. Now we have an active overseas market in countries dealing with dumbshit terrorism. Overseas, once taxes are taken, and Amazon takes its nut, you don't make much money. So use WorldCAT to see which research libraries purchase it. And thank them -- not by email, but with an actual letter. I've gotten a few interviews that way. If you're financially comfortable -- I was purged from academia; my last job was stocking shelves in a Kroger until they accused me of stealing a banana, which, for the record, I did not -- as if I should have to say so, there is nothing wrong with using Amazon, targeting big research universities that stock everything (WorldCAT helps with that too), and getting your controversial yet reasoned ideas to larger audiences. Hell, I get royalties from my unpublished dissertation. Who does that? Good ideas rise to the surface.
T.C. knows you’re his equal (and his better in so many other experiences). I’m quite taken by the inferior caliber of his guests. These people are an amalgam of “scare“ quotes and beliefs. They’re the Howard Stern and Morton Downy, Jr. of the World Wide Web. Their entire raison d’etre is to shock, obfuscate, and confidently know they’ll be no push-back from old Tuck.
Old Tuck is a talented Billy Sunday in a 3-ring Circus Maximus giving the hoi polloi want they want. You, Dave, are a Tuck-eating lion and he knows it.
God, we’re a great country that enables people with all this extra time on their hands to be entertained by Old Tuck.
Look at the guests on his speaking tour: It's mostly a collection of the most absurd and disreputable freaks on the right (with the biggest freak Alex Jones right at the top of the list).
Tuck's no Owens, all right. But I refuse to consider him an intelligent man, a clever grifter. No question he's pandering to the loonies on the right for a profit, but he shares some of their beliefs on the topic of Hitler. He could increase his viewership - or clicks - by bringing some opposing points of view, ala Cole, but he's too scared to be brought down from his cloud.
I saw one clip where Carlson was discussing flying saucers and he said -- no, boasted -- that he knew things he couldn't talk about, that he couldn't even tell his wife, and I knew immediately that he was one of "those" guys. I could clearly hear the beep-beeping of the BS truck backing up with a full load.
People who actually know real secrets, people with very high security clearances, don't say things like that.
You know what they say? Nothing.
Not one word. Not one syllable. You will never know that they know any secrets. You won't even know they have any kind of security clearance or have any kind of job that involves secrets. Because what they do is ... how shall I put this ... secret.
So I stopped watching his videos and pay no attention to him.
Old Tuck is a Beelzebubian sophist. He surrounds himself with people talking shit which attracts the flies that are his audience.
Dave, when Taki Theodoracopulos retires on his yacht on a lake somewhere in the Elysian Fields, will Takimag still run The Week That Perished? I hope you’re in good stead with his daughter, what’s her name…
Stuff like holding small children in the air by their hair and gleefully shooting them in the head. Also, he broke the unbreakable rule - he sent photos of his murders back home.
Mengele was always able to couch his activities in "science." But Taubner was kill-happy, and he committed his acts in front of his men, and passersby, and he took pics.
I was looking forward to this piece all weekend Dave and you did not disappoint, as usual your column makes me look forward to Tuesday. I think we also owe Tuck some thanks, his shenanigans always provoke a great piece by you and a great diatribe by the Reason homo adjacent Michael Moynihan.
All jokes aside this top tier article, they're always good but this one combined multiple of my favorite elements of your articles into one. It was like a greatest hits compilation & almost like a week that perished article given its humor combined with metaphorically bitch slapping moronic rightists AND a historical article.
You know what they say about art from adversity... Well, in your case suffering. At least something good comes out of it & I hope you get some satisfaction writing these great columns, hopefully you enjoy the craft itself if nothing else about it because it is always of exceptional quality.
Wait... so you're saying that this group of people who wanted to exterminate jews out of existence invented a contrived moral justification to carry out their desired extermination & weren’t doing it out of a sense of sincerely heartfelt compassion towards the people they were exterminating?
Dave, you know I like you, I think you're a cool guy but it would go against my moral compass to not inform you that this line of reasoning you're using here sounds utterly preposterous. I mean from the framing of a complete retard, not if you're a serious person who's interested in truth, just to be clear.
I mean sure, you provided ample evidence to back up your claims & are quite literally the foremost authority on this subject. I'm not arguing against that, I just think due to your ethnic background, with its inherently high average IQ, has clouded your judgment & has rendered you incapable of thinking like the complete morons you mentioned in your article & thus are unable to delude yourself into believing total bullshit. Unfortunately that means you gotta be exiled from virtually everything & suffer for the rest of your life due to your choice.... Yes your choice. You do have a way out, it doesn't have to be like this.
If you just take a wire hanger, straighten it out & jam it up your nose, spin it around a few times you'll finally be able to understand where people like Elon, Tucker & Cooper are coming from. Not only that you'll probably barely even be able comprehend words after that & thus you'll finally be free of being aware of the fact that people will never stop twisting your work around in an utterly dishonest & vacuous manner. You'll finally understand just how ludicrous you're being with this obsession with historical accuracy you have which will greatly increase the chances you'll be accepted back on twitter. Hell, Tucker would probably have you on to mumble & drool into the microphone because you destroyed your prefrontal cortex- wouldn't that be fun! You'll still probably say more truthful things in between bouts of seizures you'll no doubt have due to your self inflicted brain damage & you'll still more than likely will finally spread some truth in a mainstream space despite barely being able to form a coherent sentence. I mean I'm basing this off Tucker’s selection of guests & the general state of Right wing media, that’s quite a low bar to put it lightly so not at all far fetched.
I'm just saying you got options, wire hangers are very affordable & they don't require a whole lot of effort to be turned into a lobotomization tool. Personally I'm thinking about doing it myself, the benefits of being a retard in today's society cannot be overstated. You get the Dunning-Kruger effect so you can always feel like a genius even while being completely wrong about everything, you'll never again have to deal with that pesky concept known as truth & virtually all of the horrible Hollywood garbage that's put out nowadays will suddenly become very enjoyable to watch.
Just keep that in mind, you always have that option. It's a very attractive option if may say so myself. If I you ever find me in your comment section spouting complete gibberish then that's why & if you do see me doing that don't feel bad, take solace knowing I'll have finally found peace in my life by shredding my grey matter.
I was wondering what your take on Buchanan's book "Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War" is. I've seen Auron McIntyre defend the rabbit by saying "hey, Pat wrote a book about this, so what's the big deal?" Yeah, but that was a researched book with footnotes, not one tweet.
I remember Hitchens' review of it in one of his books; I'll check out some of the others. I bought one of those MS King books for a buck and it's a hoot. "Here's a photo of Hitler petting a goat! How could he be evil?" Stupid thing is Amazon still carries his crap but bans David.
Your response to this *almost* makes me wish that I had seen the interview. Nicely done. I have one piece of advice for you: Grace is often overrated. I prefer to come out swinging.
Looking at the quote from Cooper, he seems to be intertwining the issue of Soviet POWs with Jews. The stuff about "millions of people who were surrendering" sounds more like the early surrenders of many Soviet units, rather than roundups of Jews. As far as the treatment of Soviet POWs goes, one might start by looking at Rosenberg's letter to Keitel of February 28, 1942.
... Of 3.6 millions of prisoners of war, only several hundred thousand are still able to work fully. A large part of them has starved, or died, because of the hazards of the weather. Thousands also died from spotted fever. It is understood, of course, that there are difficulties encountered in the feeding of such a large number of prisoners of war. Anyhow, with a certain amount of understanding for goals aimed at by German politics, dying and deterioration could have been avoided in the extent described. For instance, according to information on hand, the native population within the Soviet Union are absolutely willing to put food at the disposal of the prisoners of war. Several understanding camp commanders have successfully chosen this course. However in the majority of the cases, the camp commanders have forbidden the civilian population to put food at the disposal of the prisoners, and they have rather let them starve to death. Even on the march to the camps, the civilian population was not allowed to give the prisoners of war food. In many cases, when prisoners of war could no longer keep up on the march because of hunger and exhaustion, they were shot before the eyes of the horrified civilian population, and the corpses were left. In numerous camps, no shelter for the prisoners of war was provided at all. They lay under the open sky during rain or snow. Even tools were not made available to dig holes or caves. A systematic delousing of the prisoners of war in the camps and of the camps themselves has apparently been missed. Utterances such as these have been heard: "The more of these prisoners die, the better it is for us". The consequence of this treatment is now this, that spotted fever is spreading due to the escape and discharge of prisoners and has claimed its victims among the armed forces as well as among the civilian population, even in the old part of Germany. Finally, the shooting of prisoners of war must be mentioned; these were partly carried out according to viewpoints which ignore all political understanding. For instance, in various camps, all the "Asiatics" were shot, although the inhabitants of the areas, considered belonging to Asia, of Transcaucasia and Turkestan especially, are among those people in the Soviet Union who are most strongly opposed to Russian subjugation and to Bolshevism. The Reich ministry of the occupied Eastern territories has repeatedly emphasized these abuses. However, in November for instance, a detail [Kommando] appeared in a prisoner of war camp in Nikolajew, which wanted to liquidate all Asiatics...
Dave : don’t call yourself a “sitting duck “ after all that has been going down in Springfield , OH.

First , Fauci came for the beagles; then , the TPS people came for the ducks ; and now Dave is next ….

Tex- I'm debating w/ myself about whether I'm going to watch the debate, but I'm thinking my better/smarter angel is going to win and I'll skip it!
No way in hell that I could watch without imbibing!!!
That's why I'm not watching!
You ain't missing much, Dave!
The "debate" was, as expected . . . a bust.
The vodka made the evening worthwhile.
I keep my satellite for a different reason. There is so much left-wing bullshit being put out by Hollywood and their fellow travelers these days that I need a huge catalog to find something worthwhile to watch.
I'd look it up on the internet and pay per view, but it is hard to find what I want because of all the paid search results that get gamed into the system.

Satellite TV costs too much money, especially in Mongolian currency, 3381 MNT to the $ .
David,
You’re rapidly becoming the most depressing holocaust denier, ever!
LOL!
What more can I say: You knocked it out of the park with this one. BTW the pseudohistorian guy is also a big Pally Wally backer (I know, you're shocked) and constantly moans about the evils of Dresden and Hiroshima in his "the allies were the real baddies" fantasy.
Thank you, Mike! Yeah, there's a lot more I'd have wanted to go off on the guy about, but in part to stay focused and in part due to my word limit, I kept it on topic. But let's see what happens; if the dude wants a prolonged fight, I'll be happy to do an encore.

Glad to be of service! I'm glad for the A Bomb because it meant my grandparents didn't have to die in a land invasion of Japan and the Nazis sure didn't seem to give a fuck about bombing English cities so I don't give a shit about one of their cities being bombed.
Here's my serious response: It's a pity the coat hanger missed you, now bugger off.

You completely misunderstood my entire comment, all of it, from beginning to end. What you think I meant was the opposite of what I was saying.
Next you'll be telling me that I said that I support the Holocaust.
The "right?" tic drives me nuts. It's everywhere. Sports, weather, politics, entertainment. Had to go to jury duty selection today. The judge, prosecutor, and defense attorney all did it.

I once got out of jury duty by checking the 'mentally ill' box on the paperwork. No one questioned it.
I think by law they can't!
They can ask for a doctor's note with a diagnosis. Funny thing was, I had a valid excuse which was no car in an area with no public transportation. It was almost 50 miles one way. But they won't accept that excuse. You have to show up and explain your case to the judge. Well, if I could show up to explain myself, I wouldn't need to be excused.
Personally, I would like to get on a jury but never get on it. Perhaps I telegraph enthusiasm and get nuked because of it.
I would not be niggardly with my compassion for any defendant, regardless of their race.
Depends upon the severity of the mental illness, medical documentation, and the discretion of the court.
See South Carolina v. Gary Allen Rimert
Homer Simpson: "The secret is to tell them you hate all races!"
Even worse: "I know, right?"
not to ape them but "OMG!" It's pathetic!!!
Hey, Dave, another brilliant article!

Not one word. Not one syllable. You will never know that they know any secrets. You won't even know they have any kind of security clearance or have any kind of job that involves secrets. Because what they do is ... how shall I put this ... secret.
So I stopped watching his videos and pay no attention to him.
Good choice!
I think he WAS intelligent, but fried his brains w/ hallucinogens!!
Old Tuck is a Beelzebubian sophist. He surrounds himself with people talking shit which attracts the flies that are his audience.
Dave, when Taki Theodoracopulos retires on his yacht on a lake somewhere in the Elysian Fields, will Takimag still run The Week That Perished? I hope you’re in good stead with his daughter, what’s her name…
Agreed!
I appreciate the kind words, my friend.
Well said! Tuck gives no pushback!
In a setting that approved of, e.g.,Dr. Mengele, what the he'll did Tauber do go merit ten years imprisonment for brutality?
Stuff like holding small children in the air by their hair and gleefully shooting them in the head. Also, he broke the unbreakable rule - he sent photos of his murders back home.
Mengele was always able to couch his activities in "science." But Taubner was kill-happy, and he committed his acts in front of his men, and passersby, and he took pics.
I was looking forward to this piece all weekend Dave and you did not disappoint, as usual your column makes me look forward to Tuesday. I think we also owe Tuck some thanks, his shenanigans always provoke a great piece by you and a great diatribe by the Reason homo adjacent Michael Moynihan.
Thank you, Dylan! Very much appreciated.
All jokes aside this top tier article, they're always good but this one combined multiple of my favorite elements of your articles into one. It was like a greatest hits compilation & almost like a week that perished article given its humor combined with metaphorically bitch slapping moronic rightists AND a historical article.
You know what they say about art from adversity... Well, in your case suffering. At least something good comes out of it & I hope you get some satisfaction writing these great columns, hopefully you enjoy the craft itself if nothing else about it because it is always of exceptional quality.
My most sincere thanks for that! Greatly appreciated, my friend.
Wait... so you're saying that this group of people who wanted to exterminate jews out of existence invented a contrived moral justification to carry out their desired extermination & weren’t doing it out of a sense of sincerely heartfelt compassion towards the people they were exterminating?
Dave, you know I like you, I think you're a cool guy but it would go against my moral compass to not inform you that this line of reasoning you're using here sounds utterly preposterous. I mean from the framing of a complete retard, not if you're a serious person who's interested in truth, just to be clear.
I mean sure, you provided ample evidence to back up your claims & are quite literally the foremost authority on this subject. I'm not arguing against that, I just think due to your ethnic background, with its inherently high average IQ, has clouded your judgment & has rendered you incapable of thinking like the complete morons you mentioned in your article & thus are unable to delude yourself into believing total bullshit. Unfortunately that means you gotta be exiled from virtually everything & suffer for the rest of your life due to your choice.... Yes your choice. You do have a way out, it doesn't have to be like this.
If you just take a wire hanger, straighten it out & jam it up your nose, spin it around a few times you'll finally be able to understand where people like Elon, Tucker & Cooper are coming from. Not only that you'll probably barely even be able comprehend words after that & thus you'll finally be free of being aware of the fact that people will never stop twisting your work around in an utterly dishonest & vacuous manner. You'll finally understand just how ludicrous you're being with this obsession with historical accuracy you have which will greatly increase the chances you'll be accepted back on twitter. Hell, Tucker would probably have you on to mumble & drool into the microphone because you destroyed your prefrontal cortex- wouldn't that be fun! You'll still probably say more truthful things in between bouts of seizures you'll no doubt have due to your self inflicted brain damage & you'll still more than likely will finally spread some truth in a mainstream space despite barely being able to form a coherent sentence. I mean I'm basing this off Tucker’s selection of guests & the general state of Right wing media, that’s quite a low bar to put it lightly so not at all far fetched.
I'm just saying you got options, wire hangers are very affordable & they don't require a whole lot of effort to be turned into a lobotomization tool. Personally I'm thinking about doing it myself, the benefits of being a retard in today's society cannot be overstated. You get the Dunning-Kruger effect so you can always feel like a genius even while being completely wrong about everything, you'll never again have to deal with that pesky concept known as truth & virtually all of the horrible Hollywood garbage that's put out nowadays will suddenly become very enjoyable to watch.
Just keep that in mind, you always have that option. It's a very attractive option if may say so myself. If I you ever find me in your comment section spouting complete gibberish then that's why & if you do see me doing that don't feel bad, take solace knowing I'll have finally found peace in my life by shredding my grey matter.
I was wondering what your take on Buchanan's book "Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War" is. I've seen Auron McIntyre defend the rabbit by saying "hey, Pat wrote a book about this, so what's the big deal?" Yeah, but that was a researched book with footnotes, not one tweet.
I remember Hitchens' review of it in one of his books; I'll check out some of the others. I bought one of those MS King books for a buck and it's a hoot. "Here's a photo of Hitler petting a goat! How could he be evil?" Stupid thing is Amazon still carries his crap but bans David.
King's "footnotes" are just internet search suggestions: "Chapter 2, Causes of the First World War: search under 'JOO JOO JOO'"
Thar's the one I got; I gotta get his book "I DON'T Like Ike" (man, that was clever!)
Save our Dave , too. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1833220440254513243
* Nothing is more annoying than people channeling Mort Saul, RIGHT?
FOX News should devote an entire hour interviewing you.
If Bib-'n'-Tucker was a competent interviewer he'd conduct a two-hour interview with you.
It's easy to point fingers based on old information, e.g.,
"Protocols of the Elders of Zion", "Free Masons", A cement owl, "the Illuminati",
And a Partridge in a Pear Tree.
It's time for a thoroughgoing updating on World War II information.
To not do so is actual "Holocaust Denial".
It's what I continue to appreciate about your work on Donahue.
If I were on such shows I'd bring transcripts of the Nürnberg Trials, i.e.,
Legalized Lynching to cover for moral embarrassment.
I'd show the differences between the actual transcripts &
the "Judgment at Nuremberg" all-star Hollywood pity-fest.
I'd bring the evidence of the significant involvement of
Mohammed Amin al-Husseini & how it applies to modem
Pro-Palestine demonstrations/"occupiers"/tent-cities on campuses.
As an old saying goes,
Pay attention to the one who got out without a scratch on 'em.
Your response to this *almost* makes me wish that I had seen the interview. Nicely done. I have one piece of advice for you: Grace is often overrated. I prefer to come out swinging.
Thank you, Sandy!
Looking at the quote from Cooper, he seems to be intertwining the issue of Soviet POWs with Jews. The stuff about "millions of people who were surrendering" sounds more like the early surrenders of many Soviet units, rather than roundups of Jews. As far as the treatment of Soviet POWs goes, one might start by looking at Rosenberg's letter to Keitel of February 28, 1942.

... Of 3.6 millions of prisoners of war, only several hundred thousand are still able to work fully. A large part of them has starved, or died, because of the hazards of the weather. Thousands also died from spotted fever. It is understood, of course, that there are difficulties encountered in the feeding of such a large number of prisoners of war. Anyhow, with a certain amount of understanding for goals aimed at by German politics, dying and deterioration could have been avoided in the extent described. For instance, according to information on hand, the native population within the Soviet Union are absolutely willing to put food at the disposal of the prisoners of war. Several understanding camp commanders have successfully chosen this course. However in the majority of the cases, the camp commanders have forbidden the civilian population to put food at the disposal of the prisoners, and they have rather let them starve to death. Even on the march to the camps, the civilian population was not allowed to give the prisoners of war food. In many cases, when prisoners of war could no longer keep up on the march because of hunger and exhaustion, they were shot before the eyes of the horrified civilian population, and the corpses were left. In numerous camps, no shelter for the prisoners of war was provided at all. They lay under the open sky during rain or snow. Even tools were not made available to dig holes or caves. A systematic delousing of the prisoners of war in the camps and of the camps themselves has apparently been missed. Utterances such as these have been heard: "The more of these prisoners die, the better it is for us". The consequence of this treatment is now this, that spotted fever is spreading due to the escape and discharge of prisoners and has claimed its victims among the armed forces as well as among the civilian population, even in the old part of Germany. Finally, the shooting of prisoners of war must be mentioned; these were partly carried out according to viewpoints which ignore all political understanding. For instance, in various camps, all the "Asiatics" were shot, although the inhabitants of the areas, considered belonging to Asia, of Transcaucasia and Turkestan especially, are among those people in the Soviet Union who are most strongly opposed to Russian subjugation and to Bolshevism. The Reich ministry of the occupied Eastern territories has repeatedly emphasized these abuses. However, in November for instance, a detail [Kommando] appeared in a prisoner of war camp in Nikolajew, which wanted to liquidate all Asiatics...

He is also intertwining "humanely" with the deliberate murder of certain human beings.
