  • Holocaust Revisionism
    Holocaust Revisionism by Mark R. Elsis This article is dedicated to everyone before me who has been ostracized, vilified, reticulated, set up, threatened, lost their jobs, bankrupted, beaten up, fire bombed, imprisoned and killed for standing up and telling the truth on this historical subject. This is also dedicated to a true humanitarian for the people of Palestine who was savagely beaten and hung by the cowardly agents of the Mossad. Vittorio Arrigoni (February 4, 1975 - April 15, 2011) Holocaust Revisionism has two main parts. The first is an overview of information to help explain whom the Jews are and the death and carnage that they have inflicted on the Gentiles throughout history. The second part consists of 50 in-depth sections of evidence dealing with and repudiating every major facet of the Jewish "Holocaust " myth. History Of The Jews 50 Sections Of Evidence "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." Jesus Christ (assassinated after calling the Jews money changers) Speaking to the Jews in the Gospel of St. John, 8:44 I well know that this is the third rail of all third rail topics to discuss or write about, so before anyone takes this piece the wrong way, please fully hear me out. Thank you very much for reading this article and for keeping an open mind on this most taboo issue.

  • Mein Kampf: a Translation Controversy Free
    FREE MEIN KAMPF: A TRANSLATION CONTROVERSY PDF Michael Ford | 200 pages | 22 Apr 2009 | Elite Minds, Incorporated | 9780977476084 | English, German | Camarillo, United States Errors in the Ford Translation of Mein Kampf Mein Kampf: A Translation Controversy, Ph. Michael Ford published a rather bad translation of Mein Kampf some years back, which he claimed to be the best of all available translations. At the bottom of the page, I comment on why I bother. He issues a variety of editions. For more details, if you happen to stumble across this page, look at the amazon customer reviews of his various publications. Many scholars simply leave it untranslated. First, it is grammatically incorrect although Mr. Ford for some reason thinks it sounds better to an English reader than the grammatically correct form. It was a daily newspaper that covered national and international events from a Nazi perspective. For example, the Nazi illustrated weekly was the Illustrierter Beobachter. By Mr. Ford provides several pages of justification in his booklet that announces the excellence of his translation pp. He is not persuasive. If you are curious, do read those pages, and the material he appends on pp. Ford, by the way, had a curious mixed metaphor in Mein Kampf: A Translation Controversy justification. An odd thing for an ear to do. I have been following his revisions to that remarkable document, and find that he fairly often repairs errors I point out never giving me credit, however. Let us begin with the the first page of his first edition:. Ford thought it needed to be added.

    Eighteenth Session, Commencing at 2.30 pm ORDERS, DECORATIONS & MEDALS CHRISTOPHER STOYLES COLLECTION Christopher Stoyles was born in Sydney in 1933 into a military family which moved to Melbourne when he was 4 years old. He lived in Kew and was educated at Scotch College. His interest in history started when visitors to the house would bring a souvenir for the boys which Chris found fascinating. This interest stayed with him for the rest of his life and started him on a lifetime of collecting militaria. His Mother was a keen collector of Crown Derby China and Chris would always peer into the local antique shop and rush back to her if there was anything of interest. This is where he bought his fi rst Pickelhaube at about the age of 10. Antique shops had always fascinated him and he would fi nd 4679* something hidden under a table in the back corner.

Unnamed as from WW1 and WW2, followed by his two brother-in-laws' issued. Lacquered, otherwise good very fi ne. medals from WW2. Chris spent 20 years in the Australian $100 Army Reserve and this only strengthened his interest in militaria. He made many friends through his collecting here and on trips overseas to the United Kingdom and Europe. Chris died on 3rd August 2016 after a long illness, however he continued to enjoy his collection until then.
