Holocaust denier's political dream at risk. That's an Australian press headline. Toben was successfully sued by a past president of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry for "defamation." Toben had writ- ten or implied that Jews offended by Holocaust denial were of "limited intelligence." He was ordered to pay $56,000 in court costs. Originally he couldn't pay. Now he can, and he wants to. His fear is of being judged bankrupt, which would prevent him from running for the Australian parliament as an Independent in the next federal election.

Did Steve Jobs Die from Starvation or Typhus or … ?

Friedrich Paul Berg Nazi Gassings .Com http://www.nazigassings.com/

The images to the left were taken in August 2011 a few days after Jobs’s resignation as CEO of Apple due to “ill health.” Jobs was clearly being reduced to skin and bone just as many concentration inmates were be- fore they died at the end of WW2. The simple facts are that in spite of his great wealth and access to the best medical care and nutrition in the world, Jobs seemed to be dying of starvation—and it happened (shock, hor- ror, awe) in America! Was some Nazi version of Dr. Frankenstein to blame for all this? Of course not! The best food passed through his system without leaving much, if anything. If Steve Jobs had removed the top of his pajamas, would Jobs have looked any better than any of the “victims” of Bergen-Belsen or Dachau? Of course, not! The same can be said for thousands upon thousands of terminally ill patients in any major hospital any- where. The denial of this simple, but extremely un- pleasant, fact of life is the key to promoting the most monstrous hoax of all time—the so-called “holocaust.”
