ГУЛаг Палестины

reporter from the Independent showed that Irving omitted

crucial lines from a translation of Goebbels' diaries -- lines that

would have contradicted his theory that Hitler knew nothing

about the extermination of the Jews.

Irving's record is clear: he is not an historian, and he has

made false statements and been forced to apologize for them.

As Andrew Cohen, reporter for the Financial Post, has said,

"David Irving should be denied credibility."

4. Eustace Mullins

According to analyst Chip Berlet of Political Research

Associates, Mullins is quite simply, "the most vicious

anti-Semite on the face of the planet." Eustace Clarence

Mullins, born in 1923, is the author of a biography of Ezra

Pound (a copy exists in the University of Waterloo library). But

he is also the author of numerous truly bizarre tracts published

by small Christian publishers. Some of these, like the excerpt

recently posted and then removed by Kitchener store owner

Rothe, are critiques of the banking system. Berlet says,

"Mullins masks his anti-Semitism with a critique of the [U.S.]

Federal Reserve System." In a 1952 book, Mullins wrote a

book blaming Paul Warburg, Bernard Baruch, and other U.S.

Jews for drowning Americans in debt.

According to Mullins, The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 put the

nation's banking reserves in the hands of the "Jewish

International Bankers" for the purpose of carrying out a plan

for world dictatorship. In a 1955 article entitled, "Jews mass

poison American children", Mullins claimed that the polio

vaccine, invented by Jonas Salk, was a poison because it

contains live polio germs. Other books depict Jews as

parasites, living off their gentile hosts. In what has to be one of

the most bizarre of Mullins' beliefs, it has been reported by L.

J. Davis that Mullins has claimed that the phrase "Have a nice

day" is a code for Jews to begin killing Christians. Mullins'

writings have been adopted wholesale by violent extremists in

the US, such as the Posse Comitatus. Should we not be more

than a little worried to see those writings appearing in the

window of a store in Kitchener?

5. Fred Leuchter

Rothe sells the "Leuchter report" in his store, a book

purporting to be an engineer's refutation of the existence of

gas chambers in Poland. (David Irving also uses Leuchter's

report to support his claims.) What Rothe will not tell you,

however, is that Fred Leuchter is not an engineer. Rothe also

won't tell you that, according to the Boston Globe, Leuchter

admitted to illegally collecting 20 pounds of building and soil

samples in Poland, and that Leuchter's ``analysis'' has been

thoroughly rebutted in a report by French pharmacist

Jean-Claude Pressac. Pressac "noted that Leuchter never

looked at documents in the Auschwitz Museum, and failed to

study German blueprints of the gas chambers." Leuchter is a

self-described expert in the construction of execution

machines. With his false credentials, he convinced authorities

in several states in the U.S. to let him construct execution

machinery for their prisons. But in 1990, according to the New

York Times, his misrepresentations began to unravel. The

Attorney General of Alabama questioned his expertise. Illinois

terminated his contract after determining that his machine for

injecting cyanide would cause prisoners unnecessary pain.

Then, in October 1990, Leuchter was charged with fraud in

Massachusetts. It was revealed that he had only a bachelor's

degree in history, and was not licensed to practice

engineering in Massachusetts. In June 1991, to avoid a trial in

which he would surely have been convicted, Leuchter

admitted that, "I am not and have never been registered as a

professional engineer", and that he had falsely represented

himself as one. Under the consent agreement, Leuchter

agreed to stop "using in any manner whatsoever the title

'engineer'", and to stop distribution of the Leuchter report.

Despite the agreement, one can still obtain copies of the

report from Rothe's store in Kitchener. According to the Boston

Globe, Leuchter was deported from Britain in 1991. Leonard

Zakim, a spokesperson for the Anti-Defamation League of

B'nai Brith, said, "Leuchter's admissions of lying to promote

his business in violation of Massachusetts law should serve to

discredit Leuchter wherever he travels." **[See comments on

6. Paul Fromm

Paul Fromm claims to be the director of a group called

"Canadian Association of Free Expression". While the name

sounds innocuous, the truth is darker. According to

investigative journalist Russ Bellant, Fromm helped found the

Canadian neo-Nazi organization Western Guard. In a 1983

interview with a Toronto Star reporter, Fromm was caught

dissembling. He said he "never had any connection" with the

Western Guard, but the Star account revealed that Fromm

himself had had a letter published in the Star in February

1973 that stated "... in May, 1972, many members, myself

included, left the Western Guard...". Asked to explain the

discrepancy, Fromm said in a Star interview that it was "a
