From: "hoaxbuster" To: "Dr. Robert Countess" Cc: "Germar Rudolf" ; ; ; ; ; Subject: Fw: "ALL" gassing claims and Mark Weber's incompetence Date: Donnerstag, 4. Juli 2002 13:51 Dear Bob, What follows this note is the e-mail I sent to Germar a few days ago about my reasons for not going to or speaking at the IHR conference. The IHR is a disaster of its own making--and I do not see any hope of it getting better. Mark Weber is a competent, world-class revisionist author and an eloquent public speaker who should be supported and encouraged--but, as an editor, or as an IHR director or as a conference organizer he is a basket case and should not be supported at all. But worse than that, Weber seems ruthlessly determined to actually suppress important revisionist works that either don't conform to his own personal views about the Holocaust hoax or are the least bit technical and therefore far beyond his limited comprehension. Weber had clearly been trying to minimize any impact that my IHR speech could possibly have had. Many other invaluable revisionists would probably be incompetent and obnoxious in similar ways--so it is no great insult to write what I did about Weber. Faurisson would have been a disaster as an editor or conference organizer also. People are sometimes promoted into positions for which they are just not competent--it happens but it should be corrected. Unfortunately, the IHR directors seem fanatically determined to be nothing more than dummy directors for Raven and Weber. They are all incapable of pulling anything meaningful together. The alternative is Germar who has performed miracles with his superb journal and with his own astonishing research and essays. Unfortunately, nearly all of that work appears only in German--except for Dissecting--and is therefore unknown to the vast majority of readers who only read English. A marriage between Germar's loose organization and the IHR seems impossible because of the incompatibility of the personalities. But who really needs the personalities at the IHR anyway if Germar and J. Graf and others can be helped to make something truly multilingual in the near future? Let's hope Germar gets himself settled in the USA. Regards FRITZ PS. By the way, I found your book review of Mierzejewski's book about the Reichsbahn so intriguing that I am ordering the book to see if it can lead to more information about the railroad delousing gaschambers which would have been so ideal for mass murder at Auschwitz, Warsaw , Treblinka and elsewhere. -----Original Message----- From: hoaxbuster To: Germar Rudolf Date: Monday, June 24, 2002 10:35 PM Subject: "ALL" gassing claims and Mark Weber's incompetence >Dear Germar, > >There had been absolutely no mention of me in any of the mailings sent to >all of my best friends about the upcoming convention.
