The Case of David Irving Shows that Nothing Is More Dangerous than Telling the Truth

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

David Irving is undoubtedly the best historian of World War II.  For decades he relentlessly searched for and found diaries of the main figures, pried loose official documents, tracked down witnesses, searched the war archives of many countries, all of which is the material of his extraordinary histories.

The facts differed from the official narratives.  Jews took umbrage and ruined him financially, forcing his publisher to destroy their printings of his histories, which were best-sellers praised by other historians, and by bringing corrupt law suits against which he had to defend, which exhausted his financial resources and left him penniless and homeless.

He managed to keep going with proceeds from his well-attended lectures whose locations had to be kept secret to prevent Jews from having thugs break up the gatherings.  Eventually  Jews were able to get some governments to ban him from the country in order to block his lectures. Invited to speak in Austria, he was falsely arrested and imprisoned. The stress of his life has resulted in a stroke that has disabled him.

You might imagine from my account that Irving wrote against Jews.  But that is not the case. He documented the slaughter of several hundred thousand Jews by German political functionaries in conquered parts of Russia.  He got in trouble with the Jews because he reported that his 50-year search of the world’s war archives, including the Soviet and Israeli archives, failed to turn up a single document supporting the existence of an organized holocaust. He offered a monetary award to anyone who could help him find evidence of an organized holocaust.  None did.

Irving makes it clear that Jews suffered persecution under the Nazis.  Hitler’s position, stated repeatedly by Hitler was that the “Jewish question” would be settled after the war.  Initially Hitler’s plan was to settle the Jews in Madagascar. After his initial victories against the Soviet Union, he talked of sending the Jews to their Bolshevik friends in the rump part of Russia that he intended to leave to Stalin.

The massacres of Jews seem to have been the ad hoc actions of political administrators of conquered Soviet territory who found themselves recipients of Jews sent by functionaries in anticipation of them being forwarded to the part of the Soviet Union that was to remain. Not having any means of holding them the territorial administrators shot them.

This seems to be the holocaust story that is real, but instead of debating it and trying to prove it wrong, the Jews attacked Irving personally.

It is important to understand that Irving did not set out to disprove the holocaust.  He set out to gather the facts about the causes of the war and the behavior of the participants in order to write a factual history instead of a self-justifying one written by the victors.  The holocaust occupies only a few lines in Irving’s massive work.

Irving’s third volume of his study of Churchill is completed and needs to be published.  The family is exhausted of resources, and publishers are too afraid of the Jews to sign a contract and advance money. Consequently a work of a decade might be lost, and Irving’s health left unattended from lack of resources.

Truth is the most important value.  Without it there can be no justice, no freedom, no scholarship, and no science.  David Irving has been the greatest truth-teller of our time, and the consequence is his ruin.

When we think of what has happened to David Irving, to Julian Assange, and to what may yet befall Tucker Carlson, we can safely conclude that in the Western world today nothing is more dangerous than to tell the truth.

Here is the statement from his family:

Last October, after arriving in Florida, David Irving fell ill and has been in declining health ever since. He is now back in the UK and requires round-the-clock care, a demand we’ve had to arrange privately due to constraints with NHS services. He was hospitalised for nearly two months, enduring the kind of challenges we never anticipated he would face.

It is with sadness that we must accept that David is now unable to engage in his life’s work. His unwavering dedication to unveiling Real History has not only defined his career but also enriched the minds of readers worldwide. David’s situation, however, has placed us at a crossroads where the path forward demands collective support.

This is an appeal to safeguard the essence of a man whose life’s work has been to bring us closer to the nuanced truths of our past. Your donations will be pivotal in two primary areas:

Medical Care and Support: Your contributions will ensure that David receives exemplary care to manage his condition and uphold the highest quality of life.

Preservation and Continuation of His Work: Financial support is also imperative to safeguard David’s extensive body of work.

To participate in this crucial effort please donate. Here, you’ll find all the necessary information to make your contribution. https://irvingbooks.com/donate/

Regardless of size, every contribution is a step towards sustaining David’s impact on historical literature.

Your support and solidarity in this challenging time are invaluable. We will keep you informed of his health and well-being as he faces this stage of his life with dignity. He is in good hands.

David Irving’s family

Martin Luther was a filthy gnostic fool who depended on chozenite financing and printing presses to get his heresy out in the mainstream. It was only after they didn’t convert to his heretical religion as promised that he condemned them as treasonous vermin….look it up.

EvangiTards don’t know, chiefly because they were tards first…

The doctrine enables a high esteem for Satan, and a decayed view on God, and in numerous cases open devil worship. Hilaire Belloc wrote that gnosticism “bred all sorts of secondary effects. In some men it would lead to devil worship”.

One of these men was Luther. This gnostic precept, and its decayed and diabolical hermeneutics, is seen in Luther’s words:

“the devil must be granted an hour of divinity and I must attribute fiendishness to God”

MARTIN LUTHER AND THE GNOSTICS.

The Nominalism of William of Ockham
In Germany, William of Ockham, who was Luther’s spiritual director, was an ardent defender of nominalism. This philosophy, which was also adopted by Luther, “taught a kind of anti-realism, denying the existence and therefore the reality of universals and abstract objects” (Friedrich Heer. Intellectual History of Europe, p. 131).

The result of this disconnect between reality and the divine overshadows the understanding of God’s grace and can be confirmed in the comments on Luther’s life presented below:

“Luther’s theology was forged in the crucible of his struggle to find forgiveness and peace for his overwhelming sense of guilt. He had an acute sense of misery and felt as if he stood in the balance between life and death (Trevor O’Reggio. A Re-examination of Luther’s View on the State of the Dead. Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 22/2 (2011):154-170 – Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary – Andrews University).

“The human will is innately and inevitably evil and corrupted, and the desire for evil is invincible” ( H. J. Grimm. Disputation Against Scholastic Theology, in Luther’s Works 31).

At the beginning of his career, Martin Luther was apparently sympathetic to Jewish resistance to the Catholic Church. However, he expected the Jews to convert to his purified Christianity; when they did not, he turned violently against them.

TRUTH & FACTUAL:
The “Occupants” of that Nation are NOT the ORIGINAL people that once lived there…BLACK PEOPLE…KEMITES!
Just as with America, that Nation was removed by the ancient Roman empire.
You can still find the original Israelite all over southern Africa today…making that whole country a “Imposter” Nation.

The Hexacost falls apart with the cremation time math.
The claims of gassing a room full of even 500 people and then throwing them.into the ovens every 30 minutes falls apart.
You see, to attain that high of a throughput you would need a minimum of 500 muffles.

A modern computer controlled crematory oven can burn up a body in 70 minutes. One hour and ten minutes.
Old coke fired crematory muffles took a minimum of at least one hour and thirty minutes.

All the stories of hundreds or thousands being gassed at once, and then immediately cremated falls apart right there.
Right between the claims of thousands being gassed at the same time, and the 1.5 hours per body minimum to cremate them.

With 1,000 deadees it would take a total of 1,500 crematory oven hours.
If there were 30 crematory muffles, it would take 50 hours to clear out 1,000 gassing victims.

The gassing hundreds or thousands at a time at a high rate of speed falls apart with the cremation math.

As for the claims of outside burning pits?
That would have taken farmore fuel and time, you know…because the radiant heat is being almost 100% lost into the air.

The cremation math destroys the hexacost.

FWIW, the standard claim is that, as the war’s end and the Russians were advancing, the “cremation” was performed in open-air pits, or fields, using some sort of petroleum accelerator. I don’t actually believe this explains any discrepancies in death totals, but I thought I’d throw it out there.

I believe the number of actual crematory ovens at Auschwitz is/was something like three, or six – which is obviously inadequate for the industrial-scale burning of millions of c0rpses.

This is a stadium of 100,000 people. Now visualize 60 of these, gathered from all over a variety of countries, presumably against their will, only to be gassed with an insecticide, in a leaky, three-car garage.
And that’s just the Jews. As the fable goes, 70 stadiums of “gentiles” met the same fate.

“Jews took umbrage and ruined him financially…”

David Irving is everything Dr. Roberts says he is–a historian par excellence. I own and have read several of his books, including the two volumes of the “Churchill’s War” he has published so far, and every one of them was an incredible piece of research.

About a year ago I pre-ordered the final Volume 3, and was one of the recipients of an emailing from him last fall, saying that he had it ready to go, but his printer required “several thousand dollars” before they would go forward with the printing, so he was “passing the hat” to try to get the money together. This didn’t sound like an extraordinary amount, which led me to conclude that he is indeed flat broke, thanks to his opponents.

I sent him the most generous donation I could afford, but then when I wrote just a week or two ago to see if he had been having any luck, I received email containing the news Dr. Roberts reported above.

This looks like it may be a sorry ending for one of WWII’s greatest historians, who has been vilified and bankrupted by people who didn’t like what his extraordinary research uncovered. Although he is labeled a “holocaust denier”, his only real “sin” (if you want to call it that) is to differ in the details from the “official approved narrative.” I would urge anyone who can afford it to send something along to help out.

Roberts is way off on this one. It was proven in court that he was a propagator of false claims, especially on Dresden and on the gas chambers. It’s documented in several books.

Yes, because courts and justice systems are beacons of truth and justice and totally incorruptible. Not to mention they are not politically or religiously aligned either as well as having absolutely no special interest in a predetermined outcome because narratives must be maintained to perpetuate a lie.

How many times have nations and their populations been fooled into doing stupid shit? Case in point would be the paradox of Nazi Germany purporting to corrupt an entire citizenry into a genocide against their own people. Let us be real here: a large majority of people that think their religion is their ethnicity and national identity have last names that are as German as German gets.

Moreover, it is every thinking person’s duty to entertain an opposing idea so as to challenge their own conditioned ideas to either prove or disprove one’s own beliefs.

This is as basic as it gets in regards to finding the truth.

If your religion has a track history of doing exactly what it has been doing for millennia and called out for their shit in every country and region they have ever been in, then the law of predictability is highly likely the case in the continual pushback.

Now whether or not we can truly get to what really happened, we can definitely determine that anytime the same accusation is leveled against the usual suspects, they will balk and cry foul and cry anti-semite until you are ruined in either a court, society or both.

Holodomor? Bolshevik cleansings in Latvia, Finland, Estonia, Lithuania and Russia itself? I am not even back into the biblical epoch either.

Humans will do this to other humans for the rest of time with either guns, bombs, germs, chemicals, food or economics and to not even question what has been passed as the generally accepted truth for the last 90 years is the antithesis to understanding history. How many times have historians gotten shit wrong in the name of the narrative?

ZFG, out.

P.S. not trying to bust your balls, but to say no people have ever done anything wrong is just plain bullshit. When the ones you cannot criticize have put themselves above reproach it becomes paramount to question them and how they can dish out criticism but never receive it.

Pretty sure God is the only one that can choose His people and to the best of my short lifespan of memory I havent seen him pick anyone yet. No one is above the truth.

Congratulations TBP. Enough evidence has been submitted between this article and the previous one, to cause a great deal of skepticism now, regarding what has previously been taught as the Holocaust. Another factor in consideration is: All of the false and misleading information, malicious prosecutions, particularly in the past four years, all the lies and propaganda spewed forth by the elites in an effort to destroy the country and bring about the great reset.

The realizations and growing protests by the Joe Six-packs of the world are growing. I believe this year will be most tumultuous, as the global elite lose their control over the populations. Just like 2020 when the global populations began to protest against the elites. Then the ChinaVirus hit.

Irving’s books are absolute gems of WWII history. I own many, some signed by the author, whom I’ve met several times. The only historian of that era with access to the members of Hitler’s inner circle due to his objectivity and unbiased, factual writing. His findings could not be honestly disputed, therefore the anti-humans used their “legal” system to punish him for telling the truth… I f there is a martyr worthy of our support, it is David Irving.

After the British took over Bergen-Belsen they kept the camp going for 5 more years. Since they had destroyed the German supply lines for food and Zyclon they used DDT to try and control typhus. Here women inmates line up to get sprayed. Nevertheless twice as many Jews died of typhus under British administration than when the Germans ran the camp, which became overwhelmed from the east in the last months of no water or supplies.

I don’t know why anyone would worry about Irving. Was he ever good? Or did he just sell out?

I have only read one of his biographical books, a recent one, and it was filled with juvenile tactics to denigrate the subject.
