The Case for Holocaust Revisionism: Interview with John Beaumont, by Jonas E. Alexis - The Unz Review

 You ask how my legal background affected things. Well, even if it was not really needed regarding these early Jewish contacts, it was vital generally. As a lawyer who specialized in the rules of evidence, I knew that witness testimony was notoriously weak in many situations. I gave up counting the number of mainstreamers who said, “What about all of those many eyewitnesses. Some of them must have been accurate.” In fact the numbers are quite few. And in his Holocaust Encyclopedia, Germar Rudolf shows that time after time their evidence was riddled with easily shown inaccuracies. And of course Faurisson himself says that when he pressed the point on these alleged witnesses as to whether they had been there, the inevitable reply was, “Of course not. If I had been there, they would have killed me. I just heard rumors.” But rumors are not evidence......

....JEA: Actually, what you just said not only makes sense, but it was also explained in detail in the 1984 book Hitler, Germans, and the Jewish Question by Sarah Gordon. Interestingly, it was published by Princeton University Press. I remember that when I was researching these issues in 2010, I was surprised to discover that the book discussed some of the same points that both you and Gordon have mentioned. Yet these issues are rarely, if ever, addressed in the mainstream Holocaust narrative. When I raised some of these points with Michael Shermer, he simply replied that they were not covered in the book he co-authored. Do you have any further comments on this issue?

JB: There is such a mass of extra information, some of which I’ve mentioned earlier, much of it arising out of many documents now at last available, which revolutionise the situation. We know so much now, for example, about the positive things going on, which were referred to briefly at the Zündel trials by Dittlieb Felderer. He referred to the swimming pool, the hospital block, the two largest buildings in the camp, the kitchen (with its a dietary section, bakery, and butchery, and the theater with its male and female orchestras. There is much more we can say now. The prosecutor asked Felderer if he regarded Auschwitz as a holiday camp! Even then he was able to retort that he would have rather been in Auschwitz than Dresden or Hamburg!

JEA: Wow. My big question is this: Why hasn’t the Holocaust establishment been honest about all of these things? What is your overall assessment of this issue?

JB: If they were to say more, and finally tell us the complete truth, their whole position would be blown asunder. In the words of Germar Rudolf, the Holocaust has operated for a long time as both a sword and a shield for the Jews. But this process works only if the mainstream case represents the truth. What is happening is that revisionism is taking over simply because of the power of its arguments and the solidity of the evidence that supports them. It is true that the great majority of people still think that the story of the Auschwitz “death factory” is unalterable historical truth.

But, now, at last, we can see many true horrors committed by the Jews today, namely the genocidal killing and ethnic cleansing being inflicted upon Gaza, the West Bank, and the Lebanon. The whole world sees it and yet hears Jews all over the world quoting the Holocaust as a justification seemingly for mass murder of whoever they like, opposing forces, but also thousands of innocent women and children. As the evidence for their view of the Holocaust dies away their sword and shield is disappearing.

In response to your questions (for which many thanks) I have had pleasure in setting out some of the most important principles relevant to this very important subject. Many other points might be made, but hopefully the readers will be able to consider these in due course. I have now completed a much more detailed second edition of the book, but this is yet to be published.

JEA: Thank you for the interview. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your book and the arguments and evidence you present from many different sources. Solzhenitsyn said that one word of truth outweighs the whole world. So, even though the Holocaust establishment ridicules the revisionist position, I believe the truth will triumph in the end.
