There was a recent posting that the reward was paid. Why do you
still utter the above lie.
It is also a FACT, dipshit, that the Germans destroyed Auschwitz before
the Russians got there. We told you this already, are you retarded?

Does any one see a problem with 29 and 30? In 29 Zyklon-B is a harmless

technicians...

Unlike a building a room full of dead bodies can be quickly ventilated,
people also die much more quickly from poison than lice do, I suspect
much of the 20 hours refered to is to allow it to attack insects.
>32. Hoss said in his confession that his men would smoke cigarettes as

Explosive and toxic, maybe they ventilated the rooms first? I doubt
a person would survive long in an explosive mixture of the gas...

You mean all the invading armies where Jewish? This is a new one...

If you wanted to arrest someone without a fight would you tell them
you where going to kill them?

How hard is it to dispose of several tons of ash?

The only smear campaign I see is the one being run by the revisionists,
they make up censorship of there ideas just to ligitimize them.

I've been waiting to see this again. I've pointed out twice before that
question 32 is totally flawed (e.g. my message
<kkq1is...@agate.berkeley.edu> in alt.conspiracy on Dec 16.)
and I haven't got any response from Ralph Winston.
This reveals the lie that the revisionists are interested in a rational
debate and in finding the truth.
>27. What kind of gas was used by the Nazis in concentration camps?
> Zyklon-B, a hydrocyanic gas.

Ventilation is a simple problem; it's not rocket science. I checked a
HVAC handbook and found that under current building standards, 12 air
changes per hour is common (e.g. garages, toilets, gymnasiums) and other
spaces get up to 60 air changes per hour (e.g. commercial kitchens).
In other words, it is straightforward to replace the air in a room once every
minute. I don't know what hat Ralph pulled the 20 hour figure out of.
>31. Auschwitz commandant Hoss said that his men would enter the gas
>chamber ten minutes after the Jews had died and remove them. How do you
>explain this?
> It can't be explained because had they done so they would have
>suffered the same fate as the previous occupants.
It could be explained by ventilation (exhausting a room in 10 minutes is
easy), by gas masks, or by Hoss underestimating the time.
>32. Hoss said in his confession that his men would smoke cigarettes as
>they pulled the dead Jews out of the gas chambers ten minutes after
>gassing. Isn't Zyklon-B explosive?
> Highly so. The Hoss confession is obviously false.
The limits of inflammability of HCN in air are 5.60% to 40.00%, according to
the CRC Handbook. That is, if the HCN concentration is less than 5.6% it
will be too lean to burn. 5.6% is 56 000 parts per million.
According to the Merck index, 300 parts per million of HCN can cause death
in a few minutes. Thus, the lethal concentration is more than two orders
of magnitude below the explosive concentration so there never would have
been an explosive concentration in the gas chambers. Besides, ventilating
the chambers for 10 minutes would remove the HCN.
Ralph's statement is obviously false.
I've corrected the revisionist mistakes twice before, so I don't really
expect they'll change now. Wait and see if the "66 question" article gets
reposted unchanged in 3 more months. Also see if the revisionists actually
make a reply to my referenced facts.
On another topic, somebody in alt.conspiracy should write a satire on Ralph's
article: "66 questions showing Kennedy wasn't killed".
Q1: Could Oswald have shot Kennedy with his rifle?
A1: No. Oswald was a poor marksman and his rifle was very inaccurate.
Obviously Oswald could not have hit Kennedy, so Kennedy is still alive.
Q2: Was Kennedy's "autopsy" carried out correctly?
A2: There were several contradictions. Obviously the autopsy wasn't carried
out proving Kennedy wasn't killed.
(Well, someone who knows the Kennedy details could do a much better job.)
Ken Shirriff shir...@sprite.Berkeley.EDU
Basically, Ralph, what you're saying is that everyone is lying. All the
Jews (not Zionists, for once, use the proper term), every confessed
Nazi, the government of all the allied forces. Everyone is in on this
lie. The Jews, being the incredibly powerful force that they are in the
world, with about 15-30 million world-wide, undermine governments,
control the world economy, infiltrate armed forces and use them as tools
of torture, and essentially caused everything bad that has happened in
the past fifty years. We're probably repsonsible for the Iraqi invasion
of Kuwait.
All of this, to me, sounds just like the pure crap that was spewed
before the Nazis (not Germans) decided to exterminate the Jews.The
scariest part about all this is that people might actually believe you.
I have sat back for many of these discussions, content to see others
show you to be ignorant. This type of outburst probably plays right into
your hands. But I am truly frightened that someone of your obvious
intelligence can exude such hatred.
Just for a minute, lets assume that there was not mass extermination of
6,000,000 Jews, and others during WWII. So what? It was fifty years ago.
Are you saying that you are being discriminated against because of this?
Do the Jews, because of this event, suddenly have so much more unearned
power than they did before the war?
And what do Zionists have to do with this at all? Do you even understand
what a Zionist is? You're signature says "UUCP: Path (..twiki!b-cpu)
"ELIMINATED" BY ZIONIST THOUGHT POLICE!!!" What exactly does this mean?
Were you thrown off a net for this junk?
In addition, could you please explain which laws in Israel you are
refering to when you write, "Laws against intermarriage and sexual
relations between Germans
and Jews, similar to laws existing in Israel today." I would be very
interested to know who in Israel is effected by these laws.
Essentially, all your questions are set-ups, and all your answers are
half-truths, misinformation, or outright lies. At least I hope they are
lies (not just that you lack the ability to know), otherwise you ARE as
ignorant as you seem.
You constantly quote members of the IHR as if this was a credible,
impartial organization. Are there any members of the group that are not
Revisionists? Or is this simply an official organization, like the Ku
Klux Klan.
I would welcome any intelliegent response, OR something from b-CPU. The
two seem to be mutually exclusive.

Dr August Becker on 16 May 1942 to SS-Obersturmbannfuherer Rauff
In collaboration with the group staff and two Kommandos of Police
Regiment South, on 29 and 30 September 1941 Sonderkommando 4a executed
33,771 Jews in Kiev.
Ereignismeldung UdSSR, No. 101, 2 October 1941
During my visit to Kumhof I also saw the extermination installation,
with the lorry which had been set up for killing by means of motor
exhaust fumes. The head of the Kommando told me that this method,
however, was very unreliable, as the gas build-up was very irregular
and was often insufficient for killing.
Rudolf Hoss, Commandant of Auschwitz, on a vist to Chelmno
on 16 September 1942
From a speech by Adolf Hitler, January 30, 1942, Berlin Sports Palace:
"This war will not end as the Jews imagine, namely, in the liquidation
of all the European and Aryan poeples; the outcome of this war will be
the extermination of Jewry. For the first time it will not be other
nations who will bleed to death. For the first time we will practice
the ancient Jewish law: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
"At the beginning of August 1941 the Einsatzkommandofuhrer of
Einsatzgruppe C were ordered to report to Dr Rasch (Head of
Einsatzgruppe C) in Zhitomir. There Dr Rasch revealed to us that
Gruppen fuhrer Jeckeln had delivered an order from Reichsfuhrer-SS
Himmler that from then on all Jews not engaged in work were to be shot
along with their families."

Do Jews warrant criticism as a group? Because they are Jews?
What is the commonality between all Jews that needs criticism?
Who are their leaders that are controlling them?

Here's a question for you. Why does your press (the Noontide Press)
publish such books as a fancy coffee table book of the Art of Adolf
Hitler? Do you really think Hitler was such a gifted artist
that people are attracted to his art aside from being attracted
to the man and his philosophy? Does his art stand on its own
or is it because your customers are neo-Nazis who slobber over
everything their Furher did?
Also, the idea that Jews need to be criticized as a group is
anti-Semitic on its face.

25 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE "ATOMIC BOMB"
1. Is there any evidence that a thermonuclear device exploded over
Hiroshima in 1945?
No, absolutely none. According to leading historians and physicists,
the thermonuclear bomb was not invented until years after the supposed
detonation over Japanese territory.
2. Is there any evidence that a uranium-based "atom bomb" was ever dropped
onto Nagasaki, Japan?
Absolutely not. While many historians and journalists made this claim
in the late 40's and early 50's, everyone now agrees that no such
bomb ever exploded over Nagasaki. Yet there are some who still stubbornly
cling to this supposed "fact."
3. What are the materials needed to make an "atom bomb?"
Uranium-238 and plutonium-239.
4. Aren't these materials radioactive?
Highly so. Anybody who attempts to use these materials is endangering
his/her life.
5. Is it likely that nuclear scientists in the 40's would be
handling uranium and plutonium?
This would be highly unlikely. Very few people felt so threatened
by the Japanese to be willing to risk their lives on a theoretical
chance of a superbomb that could end a far-away war a little sooner.
6. Aren't there witnesses to the atomic bomb in Hiroshima?
The only "witnesses" that could possibly survived this supposed
explosion would have been blinded by the intense flash of light,
so their testimony is quite unreliable and contradictory.
7. According to conventional historians, was the uranium bomb tested
before supposedly being dropped over Hiroshima?
No. There was no testing whatsoever of a uranium bomb in Alamogordo
or anywhere else before Hiroshima.
8. Isn't that strange?
Yes. Typical weapons are tested for months and years before deployment;
there is no other weapon that according to the accepted "facts" deployed
before any testing whatsoever.
9. How many witnesses are there for all of the atomic tests allegedly
occuring during the fifties and sixties?
Very few, perhaps a few hundred, who claimed to have seen them.
10. What did the General Advisory Committee of the Atomic Energy
Commission say in their report of October 30, 1949?
They recommended strongly against the development of what they
called the "Super Bomb," which is simply a thermonuclear
bomb. They said that "A super bomb might become a weapon of
genocide."
11. Isn't this four years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
Yes. Obviously development of nuclear weapons occurred well
after their supposed implementation in 1945.
12. Is radioactivity dangerous?
Everything is radioactive to some extent.
13. What was the triggering method of the bomb that supposedly
was dropped on Hiroshima?
According to the standard historical accounts, it used a gun-
assembly trigger.
14. Wasn't the gun-assembly method of triggering abandoned
in the design stage?
Yes; according to these same sources the gun method would not
work with uranium-derived plutonium-239 because some of the
plutonium-239 absorbs a neutron to become plutonium-240, which
undergoes spontaneous fission, all before supercriticality,
causing a premature and very small explosion that is unusable
for the very purpose that it was supposedly designed for!
15. How do conventional historians rectify these two "facts?"
They don't even attempt to.
16. How many books have been written about the atomic bomb?
Many hundreds, as well as thousands of articles in magazines
and newspapers.
17. Why was Hiroshima "targeted," and not Tokyo?
Perhaps because no one had heard of Hiroshima, and no one knew anyone
from there. It would be far more difficult to claim that Tokyo was bombed
than Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In fact, most world maps from before "World
War Two" do not even mention these cities at all.
18. How does Japan benefit from the "atom bomb" story?
As a direct result of the "war," Japan has received billions of dollars
worth of US aid for its defense. Japan has essentially no defense
budget, so it can pour resources through MITI into defeating the US
economically, all while playing on the emotions of anti-"nuke" activists
about the "horrors" of nuclear weapons.
19. Wow, I never thought of that. How else do the Japanese
benefit from this story?
The Japanese now own major Hollywood studios, from which many war
movies are produced. Also, they play upon our sympathy for the
supposed "atom bomb" to blind us to the fact that this foreign
nation had taken over our semiconductor industry, many California
banks and practically the entire state of Hawaii.
This is all a part of the Japanese plot to take over the world.
According to the "Protocols of the Elders of the Orient," this
is a Japanese conspiracy all foretold by their ancient texts
that very few Anglo-Saxons have the ability to read.
19. How many people are supposed to have died in the explosions?
It is hard to say. Some sources say 60,000 in Hiroshima, others say
140,000. No attempt has been made to rectify the various numbers.
20. How many people die annually from car accidents in the US?
Over 50,000.
21. So, what makes Hiroshima so special?
Nothing, especially given the contradictory evidence about it.
22. Boy, I'm mad. What should I do about this?
Glad you asked. First, send me lots of money so we can spread this
message far and wide. Maybe we'll take out ads in college newspapers
or something.
Second, direct your anger at the Japanese. We are the victims, and
they are the aggressors. Make yourself feel important again by bashing
Japan at every opportunity. Japanese people are inherently evil, and
basically subhuman. They were never bombed, and if they would have been
they would have deserved it. Who do they think they are, anyway?
Yes, we Revisionists have all the answers. Life is a lot simpler than
you thought it was. Join us, and you won't have to be bothered anymore
by any feelings of guilt for your inherent hatred. We can justify it!
Oh, it's not the Japanese you hate, but the crippled? Hey - so do we!
It's easy: we don't like feeling uncomfortable around people in wheelchairs,
either! Who do they think they are, taking all the good parking spaces
when they were stupid enough to slip on a banana peel? IT'S A
CONSPIRACY! --See how easy it is to start? Now, just mix in a few
real facts, and start converting all of the otherwise messed-up
people to OUR CAUSE!
23. Wow! You mean that I could write stuff like this, too?
Sure! It's embarrasingly easy to write what we wrote above. In fact,
it's even superior to the usual anti-Semitic revisionist garbage,
because it has a higher percentage of REAL FACTS! Most of the
apparent "contradictions" above come from the facts that Nagasaki
was bombed by a plutonium bomb, not uranium; and that hydrogen
bombs are thermonuclear, not atomic bombs. Just juggle information
about the different types of bombs and mix them up so they seem to
be contradicting each other. It doesn't take ANY INTELLIGENCE
WHATSOEVER, and you can get lots of free air time on "48 Hours"!
Oh, I forgot to mention: I have a Japanese girlfriend who agrees
with EVERY WORD I've written above. Here she is:
"Yes, I am his Japanese girlfriend. I love him very much, and I've
always been troubled by my Japanese friends claiming to know people
who died in Hiroshima."
There you have it! Just throw some unverifiable opinions on top
of ridiculous proofs to STRENGTHEN YOUR CASE!
24. Couldn't I be arrested for this?
No! This country is founded on FREE SPEECH! But, just make sure
that you mention how much you are being persecuted for saying
your version of history. (More than three email messages a day
qualify for being called harrassment. Five may merit a lawsuit.)
25. Where can I get more information?
Go to a library. Take a book at random. Skim it. Then, decide how
that book is either for you or against you. If it is for you, quote
liberally and out of context. If against you, do the same.
DON"T LET YOURSELF GET CONFUSED BY THE FACTS! We certainly don't!

This is a fact?
Auschwitz was not destroyed by the Germans; they only blew up *some*
of the Gas Chambers a few days before the Russians arrived.
Most of the original buildings (including all the brick ones at
Auschwitz proper) still exist today. Including one small gas-chamber.
I don't see the point in being economical with the truth, even if you
are on an anti-anti-semite crusade.

WWII was looking very dark when the Manhattan project was begun, with
both German and Japanese forces rampaging across Europe and Asia. The bomb
was not developed specifically with the intent of dropping it on the
Japanese, but by the time, the bomb was finally designed and tested, the
Germans had surrendered. The prospects of invading the Japanese home islands
were grim, considering the resistance American forces had faced in their
island hopping campaign, so it was thought dropping the bomb on a relatively
untouched population center would make the Japanese think twice about
continuing the war.

The Russians had developed a nuclear bomb after the Americans had.
The commission was concerned that a "Bomb Race" would develop, with greater

against the recommendation of the commission, countered by the Soviets.

Hiroshima was targeted because it was basically untouched by B-29
raids, while Tokyo was being bombed heavily. This made the damage caused by
the atom bomb easier to analyze.

About 60,000. More died in firebomb raids on Tokyo (approx. 111,000 on

My friend, one question:
Why would a German death camp (and that is exactly what they were) officer
admit to the killing of 6 million Jews? If anything, that would condemn him
more. And it isn't just one guard either. Many have admitted to the slaughter
of far more than 500,000. Wouldn't it make sense that they would only say
500,00 if they thought they could get away with it? The obvious answer is no
becuase there WERE far more than 500,000 Jews killed during the Holocaust.
I personally have met survivors of the Holocaust. For a research project, I
asked them to relive, however painful it may be, some of the things that went
on in the death camps. You may find this surprising Mr. Winston, but there
were Jews killed at Auschwitz and Dachau. From what my subjects could tell me,
there were approximately 100,000 people brought into each of their respective
camps. (I interviewed five people). That figure, although innaccurate,
accounts for about 500,000 people right there. If you expand that number
to include all of the death camps in Germany and Poland, you will find that
the number comes awfully close to about 4 to 6 million.
I would like to refer you to a movie Mr. Winston. It's called 'Escape from
Sobybor' and it is a historically correct film about a rebellion at one
of the German death camps. At the end, an update is given about the status
of each of the survivors from that rebellion. I think you will find it most
interesting.
From your post, Mr. Winston, I am not sure if you are trying to deny completely
the occurance of the Holocaust, or simply trying to somehow make it seem
that it wasn't really as bad as it seemed. Well trust me, it was that bad, if
not worse.
I do not agree with the Zionist movement. I think it is a nationalist, racist
attempt to somehow promote Jews. I do not, however, deny the existance of the
Holocaust. It DID happen.

You didn't read the entire file before you spouted off in all
directions, did you? It seemed pretty obvious from the start (at
least to me) that this was a takeoff on the revisionist "fact files."
However, the end of the file should have removed any doubt, as he

I am inclined to point out that this paragraph is self contradictory. If
everyone agrees to something then there is no one left to cling to another
point of view! To my knowledge the consensus is that a Plutonium bomb, similar
to the one tested at Almagordo was dropped on Nagasaki. The bomb dropped on
Hiroshima was an untested Uranium bomb. It was untested because of the paucity
of fissile materials available. Supposedly, there was only enough capacity
in the U.S. to produce enough material for about a half dozen or so bombs
prior to the end of 1947, including material captured from Germany. So, it
was deemed too precious to use on more than one test prior to 'use' in the
field. If the Uranium bomb hadn't detonated, there was still the proven
Plutonium device available.
>>
>> 3. What are the materials needed to make an "atom bomb?"
>>
>> Uranium-238 and plutonium-239.
>
No. Uranium 235 *OR* Plutonium. Uranium 238 is used to make Plutonium.
Supposedly, any isotope, or combination of Plutonium isotopes can be used
to make at least a crude, or unreliable bomb. An isotope which does not
undergo spontaneous fission, Plutonium 241, is preferred, as I recall, for
at least the bulk of a Plutonium device. This is to prevent the chain
reaction from beginning too soon/off center during the implosion phase.
Plutonium 239 may be used at the center of such a bomb, or maybe even in a
uranium rapid assembly device as a trigger. See "The Curve of Binding
Energy" ghost written by John Macphee for Ted Taylor

No. If they were "highly" radioactive then they would rapidly become impure
due to radioactive decay and nuclear weapons would have a very short shelf
life. (Too bad!) If Uranium 238, or 235 were highly radioactive there
wouldn't be nearly as much of it left in the Earth as there is now. Plutonium
is scarce in nature on the Earth as it was apparently not present at the time
the Earth was formed, and is only produced in nature (from uranium) in minute
quantities under rare conditions. Uranium, to my knowledge, is not naturally
produced on the Earth at all. It is all left over from the time of formation.
The (any) process used to produce Plutonium also produces many "highly" radio-
active contaminents which makes the purification process potentially very
dangerous.
Further, the deleterious effects on health due to radiation exposure are
cumulative, but (barring extrordinarily high doses on the order of ~100krem)
delayed by hours, days, months, years, or decades. Workers can, and have,
worked in enviroments which ultimately result in fatal exposure for years,
e.g. the 'radium' sisters, before the first syptoms occur. This is one of
the problems with radiation exposure, and why a proper protection program
is needed to monitor workers. A person can feel *ABSOLUTELY* normal, while
receiving a fatal dose and not die until some time later.
Uranium and Plutonium are certainly hazardous materials. Uranium is pyro-
phoric in reduced form, and Plutonium readily ignites in air. The (chemical)
burning process scatters fine particulates of the oxides which can be readily
inhaled, exposing living lung tissue (unshielded by dead epithilial(sp?)
cells) to alphas. Once they are purified, however, it is possible to handle
them with a degree of safety comporable to, say, beryllium or phosphorous.
There are numerous industrial and (nonradioactive) military uses for depleted
Uranium (Uranium without U 235). It is a dense, hard material. Uses include
radiation shielding, and armor piercing bullets.

I have only personally known one person who enlisted in the U.S. military on
December 8, 1941, but I daresay that the total number enlisting that day,
and fully expecting to risk their lives, exceeded the total number of people
working on the Manhatten project, most of whom never came close to any
radioactive material.
Moreover, clearly many people work with these (and more hazardous) substances
today. While there is perhaps less risk due to improved knowledge and loss
control engineering there is also clearly less need.
This whole line of 'reasoning' is absurd. If nuclear scientists did not work
with these substances prior to the developement of nuclear power/weapons,
then the subsequent applications would never have been possible.

Bear in mind, that the thermonuclear bomb, refered to as 'super' above,
followed after the atom bomb. These are two different, though related
programs. Oppenheimer headed the Manhatten project, which produced the
atom bomb, but dropped out of and opposed developement of the thermonuclear
or hydrogen bomb.
Two related technologies-- first the atomic bomb, using pure fission of
Uranium or Plutonium. This was developed by the Manhatten project.
Supposedly only a small number of these were in existence until the early
1950's, and Truman offered to give control over them all to the newly formed
United Nations.
The thermonuclear or hydrogen bomb, uses Uranium and Lithium fission, and
hydrogen/helium fusion (sometimes called fission/fusion/fission). Developed
in the 1950's. Much more powerful than the atomic bomb.
Both may be properly called nuclear bombs. Perhaps some have found this
confusing. Actually, a chemical bomb could be called a molecular bomb,
for that matter.

Their developement has been a continous process since the early 1940's.
So what? Does the developement of the F 15 in recent years disprove the
existence of the Wright Flyer at an earlier date? Hardly.

Additionally, it had already been decided that the Emperor had to survive
in order to assure the cooperation of the Japanese people with the surrender.
The atomic bombing of Tokyo would put him at great risk. Also, (my speculation
but, why shouldn't I speculate also, *AND SAY SO*) It was important to
preserve the central government of Japan in the hope that they would sur-
render before the small number of bombs was used up. Destroying the Cen-
tral government in Tokyo would have left no central government to organize
a surrender.

The (American) official casualty reports for deaths at Nagasaki and Hiroshima
do not include subsequent death of those who survived more than three days
after the respective bombings. This plainly underestimates the casualties.
It excludes virtually all those who survived heat and concussion trauma, but
later died from complications (such as infection), acute radiation effects
(radiation 'poisoning'), or somatic (delayed e.g. cancer or leukemia) effects.
Some others attempt to estimate deaths due to excess leukemia in the contem-
porary population and include them in among the casualties. Thus, some
fatalities by this reckoning, may include persons not yet born at the time of
the bombings. I do *NOT* however, see this as an irrational approach.
When I was younger, casualty estimates for WW II were much higher than what one
sees today, especially estimates of German civilians lost in Allied raids.
Ted Koppel recently stated the casualties at Dresden as 35,000. My encyclopedia
stated them as 350,000. What are they saying today about the 750,000
casualties at Koln? There is indeed an argument that revisionism is rampant,
but not in the form of exagerration.

For the educated layman intersted in the history, and science behind nuclear

Physics, (or any body else's freshman physics series).
I don't know where these other guys get their information, probably off the
net!

an anti-Catholic bigotry. Since this demonstration of bigotry is made in

Unfortunately, this witty little thing was in rebuttal to a man who actually
thinks like this (See: 66 QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST). At first I too
believed that this guy was even nuttier than Ralph (a.k.a. Adolf) Winston is.
Much to my relief, I read the whole thing through and found it to be a joke.
