Carolyn Yeager and Ray Goodwin use their first program to introduce listeners  to some background information on this collection of what are basically after-lunch-or-supper monologues by Adolf Hitler in the company of his intimate circle.

• How trustworthy is this text, since Martin Bormann assigned two of his aides to take the notes during meals, then turn them over to him for “checking” and safekeeping;
• Why it is valuable to study this book;
• Questions about the translation and translators – for example, did Francois Genoud tamper with the parts about Christianity;
• Of those offended by this book, Christians are #1 on the list, complaining that it does not agree with Hitler’s “public record” of positive remarks about Christianity in earlier years;
• David Irving and Albert Speer both confirmed that these recorded talks are authentically Hitler; Richard Carrier disagrees;
• Next week we’ll begin reading the text.

The edition being used was translated by Norman Cameron and R.H. Stevens, published by Enigma Books, New York, and can be found as a pdf here.

Anticipating this year’s official “Commemoration in honor of the victims of the holocaust” at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial site in Poland, Carolyn tells the true story of the “liberation” of that camp, as far as can be known. Other points of interest:

• David Irving is ready to sue the BBC  for plagiarism in a recently televised documentary;
• It’s important to stand up for yourself and we all need to do it, but we must have the truth on our side;
• The Red Army and its propaganda unit arrived at Auschwitz before Jan. 27 and surveyed the situation with the intention of making war-crimes accusations;
• It is a near certainty that the Soviets blew up the three crematoria and burned down the clothing warehouses, which they then blamed on the Germans;
• Carolyn uses examples to contrast factual discussion of  “movement” business versus making up stories about people to “get even.”

In the last show of this year,  Hadding Scott comes on with Carolyn in the 2nd hour to discuss whether there ever was, or could be, such a thing as “Black Nazis,” and other questions about  National Socialism. In the first hour Carolyn emphasizes the need for continuing to destroy the holocaust lies because of the enormous damage it does to the psyches of the German people.  Some highlights:

• David Irving did say in 2007 that “In my opinion the real killing operations took place in the Reinhardt camps … Heinrich Himmler’s men killed possibly as many as 2.4 million in the two years up to 1943.”
• The BNP goes after Goebbels, Eichmann and Mengele with crude propaganda;
• Manfred Roeder’‘s eloquent Introduction to Thies Christophersen’s The Auschwitz Lie;
• Hadding Scott reads from the National-Socialist Political Primer on racial rules, which remained substantially the same from 1933 to 1945;
• What Hitler said in the Platterhof  speech was identical to what was in that manual;
• Veronica Clark‘s focus on Blacks in Germany is “much ado about nothing” when it comes to real historical scholarship.

David Cole (pictured), the much admired holocaust revisionist of the 90’s, has re-emerged at age 44 as David A. Stein, a Republican Party activist and producer of mainstream holocaust videos. Carolyn looks at what is known so far:

• He didn’t come forth voluntarily but was “outed” by a female in whom he had confided;
• Says he will not try to continue as David Stein, the Republican Party “Animal”;
• His participation with the Tinbergen  film production company with partner Caleb Tinbergen;
• Jewish blogger Eric Golub shows how angry and punishing Jews can be;
• Colestein’s self-invented biography as David Abravanel Stein;
• Carolyn thinks Colestein will never be able to leave his Jewish community;
• David Irving’s lawsuit against Deborah Lipstadt turned Revisionists into “Deniers”;’
•  Fredrick Toben calls in and talks about the ramifications of the “gassing” controversy and the Kriege report;
• Charles Krafft calls in and wants to know about the 2006 Tehran Conference papers.
