Strange bedfellows? Perhaps not (13/3/2004)
The lies told by bigots are sometimes surprising. Not that
they are lies, of course, because bigotry implies a disdain
for truth, but because of how imaginative they are. One of
the weirdest pieces of anti-Semitism is the notion that the
Jews conspired with ****** to conduct World War II.
Apparently this was done as part of an ongoing, centuries-
old war of the Jews against the rest of the world and they
thought that ****** was on their side because he was against
everyone else. The deaths of the Holocaust were probably
just "collateral damage", I suppose, although it would not
surprise me to find out that people who would believe this
madness would also deny the reality of the Holocaust anyway.
One outlet for this insanity is a book called Adolf ****** -
Begründer Israels by Hennecke Kardel. This book was banned
in Germany for some time under the laws there which prohibit
promotion of Nazi thoughts, but it is available in English
translation as Adolf ******- Founder of Israel. That such a
book would be made available is again no surprise, and I
would never support any move to ban it or restrict its sale.
I would not find it surprising to see that it was being
published by the presses which put out the racist nonsense
of David Irving and Ernst Zundel and which specialise in
this sort of thing. I would not expect that a book like this
would be in the catalogue of any reputable publishing house.
In fact, I found that the publishing house which puts it out
is anything but reputable, but the really surprising thing
is that almost all of the other titles in the catalogue
relate to health in some way, although at the extreme quacky
end of the health spectrum. (There are couple of
autobiographical books about the horrors of a girl growing
up in an undeveloped country.)
By now you should be able to guess that this execrable book
is published by New Century Press, owned by the Queen of the
Quacks, not-a-medical-Dr Hulda Clark. Clark's own books are
filled with lies, but they are her lies, not someone else's.
I wonder what motivation, other than money, would compel her
to add a racist, anti-Semitic title to the list of books she
publishes. I can only assume that she agrees with and
approves of its content. If so, she has achieved the almost-
impossible and fallen even further in my esteem.
