Those Who Cry "Denialism" Are Themselves in Denial
I found this site in a roundabout way... Someone recently suggested I am suffering from "malignant denial", something they claimed the APA is considering declaring a bona fide mental disorder, so I googled the term. I didn't find much, but I did find this book on AIDS "denialism" which cited these folks as some kind of authority on denialism. And lo and behold the usual suspects crop up, like Michael Shermer. And links to Popular Mechanics. So it seems that the whole notion of denialism is being hijacked by deniers--totally post-modern, huh? In any case, what we're talking about here is obviously not denialism per se--it's really just a fancy way of saying "lying" or "bullshit", or better yet a fancy way of accusing people of lying or bullshitting. I guess it was Jon Gold's 9/11 holocaust denial that got me thinking more about this...
Denialism is the employment of rhetorical tactics to give the appearance of argument or legitimate debate, when in actuality there is none. These false arguments are used when one has few or no facts to support one's viewpoint against a scientific consensus or against overwhelming evidence to the contrary. They are effective in distracting from actual useful debate using emotionally appealing, but ultimately empty and illogical assertions.
Examples of common topics in which denialists employ their tactics include: Creationism/Intelligent Design, Global Warming denialism, Holocaust denial, HIV/AIDS denialism, 9/11 conspiracies, Tobacco Carcinogenecity denialism (the first organized corporate campaign), anti-vaccination/mercury autism denialism and anti-animal testing/animal rights extremist denialism. Denialism spans the ideological spectrum, and is about tactics rather than politics or partisanship. Chris will be covering denialism of industry groups, such as astroturfing, and the use of a standard and almost sequential set of denialist arguments that he discusses in his Denialist Deck of Cards.

I've taken to calling this sort of thing the Chutzpah Maneuver... basically an alternate way to refer to the Big Lie technique.
I like it in part because, when you hear of the "Big Lie" deception technique, who has official history emotion-anchored the notion to? Yep, Hitler. Average J6P would tell you that the diabolical Hitler "invented" the technique. But look into the history beyond current social/memetic programming, and you find even wikipedia concedes, "In the chapter from Mein Kampf quoted above, Hitler accused "the Jews" of what he claimed was their use of the Big Lie."
Obviously the Big Lie technique was around before Hitler... think Machiavelli, Protocols, etc. So what did the "winners" of WW2 (the global bankers/Big Lie Masters) who wrote the official BS history do? They NLP/emotion-anchored the "Big Lie" idea, with Hitler The SuperVillain... inconvenient truths be damned. So here's our society today enveloped in Big Lies (911, flying pig flu, holohoax etc) orchestrated by the same Big Lie Experts as wrote WW2 history, as they masquerade as our ever-vigilant protectors against any repeats of these historic attrocities. Their official history wraps Hitler up in a Big Lie, portraying him as the chief inventor/practitioner of... drumroll... the Big Lie deception technique. When J6P today begins to catch on that he may be living inside a forest of Big Lies, his "formal education" (& "news/entertainment" propaganda immersion) diverts his attention to that dark chapter in history involving a dead supervillain, the sort of chapter a repeat of which our modern/virtuous leaders say "Never Again!" to. Chutzpah Maneuver. It's ubiquitous in their PR campaigns, as though it's their calling card: IE Jon Gold as passionate 911 family guy, Israel/Jews as perma-victims of hate-filt anti-Semitic haters (their self-hating authentic Semite neighbors?), ADL as "fighting" hate/defamation, UN/WHO as "protecting us against" their flying pig flu, via their "mandatory" "vaccine" bioweapon injections, holohoax truth seekers as satan's spawn... etc etc. The common ingredient is not just deceiving the target audience by lying about your agenda to a small degree, but rather the lie (IE true agenda) is "audaciously hidden in most sincere/well-meaning people's blind spot", 180 degrees opposite from the agenda the Chutzpah Maneuver practitioner masquerades as desiring. And of course, the posturing re the fake agenda must be over-the-top flamboyant & repetitions.
These same Chutzpah Maneuver experts actually displayed some inconsequential humor when they put Andrew Jackson's image on the $20 Federal Reserve Note... if you know anything about Jackson's fight against the global central banking octopus now taking over the world (NWO).
worth watching this again at this point...
In addition to the "big lie" I think we should keep in mind the concept of the protection racket--a tried and true tool of gangsters. I think 9/11 was intended as part of a big protection racket, and despite my skepticism (at this point) of the "vaccine conspiracy", the whole infectious disease thing is a huge opportunity for a classic protection racket. And let's be very clear--the vast majority of people in the world who identify as Jewish are the VICTIMS of all of this as much as anyone else and keeping Jews and non-Jews suspicious of each other is an integral part of this particular (Zionist) manifestation of the scheme.
Protection racket
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A protection racket is an extortion scheme whereby a powerful entity or individual coerces other less powerful entities or individuals to pay protection money which allegedly serves to purchase protection services against various external threats, usually violence or property damage.
Those who do not buy into the protection plan are often targeted by criminals, often the racketeers themselves. Assuming the racketeers do actually protect paying "clients" from other criminals, when a person or group refuses to pay for protection, word is put out that they are outside of the racketeers' protection and that criminals can target them with impunity.
The protection money is typically collected by a "bag man". Although the organization might be particularly coercive in obtaining protection money, it is usually careful to shelter its "mark" from attacks by competitor organizations that similarly attempt to solicit or threaten the targeted individuals or businesses. Disputes between organizations concerning territory consequently arise from two competing organizations attempting to extort from the same "clients".
Jim Condit - The Final Solution to Adolf Hitler (Adolph Hitler)2:22:36 - 3 years ago
"The Zionists brought us to the Holocaust. It is well known that it was possible to redeem Jews from the Nazis with money, and save many hundreds of thousands of Jews in Hungary...THE ZIONIST LEADERS WHO NOW SIT IN GOVERNMENT PREVENTED IT!" -- Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Ehrenreich (circa 1954)
To the billions of people around the world who know only the standard Establishment version of 20th Century history, the above quotation is incomprehensible, its implications impossible to fathom. Adolf Hitler and the Nazis were the sworn enemies of all Jews, they will say, and to suggest there could be any collusion between Zionists and Hitler's Third Reich is both beyond belief and a slap at the memory of those who died at the hands of Nazi persecutors.
Incomprehensible, perhaps, but by no means impossible. The Zionist-Nazi collaboration, however suppressed it has been to the general public, is a little-known, but crucial, part of European history, one that continues to profoundly shape and affect world events in the 21st Century. This mind-boggling voyage is but one of many facts which have been compiled and collated, and which is presented in this DVD by Jim Condit Jr. in this fascinating new DVD entitled The Final Solution to Adolf Hitler.
This thorough analysis examines Hitler's career and influence, from his humble beginning in Austria to his appointment as German Chancellor by President Paul von Hindenburg, from his ascent to absolute dictator of the Third Reich to his role in bringing about the modern state of Israel and the emerging world government.
the whole War On Abstract Noun hoax
is a terror & protection racket. But the "clients" (we taxpayers) are not given any choice in the matter of paying the racketeers; it's been a case of pure state ziomafia coercion.
"and despite my skepticism (at this point) of the "vaccine conspiracy", the whole infectious disease thing is a huge opportunity for a classic protection racket."
Please look into the flu/vax racket, it's absolutely diabolical, and multiples bigger than 911 in its implications. Just as one of the ziomafia's agendas with 911 was Holocausting a bunch of authentic Semites in the Middle East, the main agenda of their flu/vax bio-war campaign is culling the herd worldwide, made to look like and act of God/nature which TPTB/WHO/etc are heroically working day & night to "protect us from" (...by way of deception, as usual). We can only speculate about possibilities like RFID/nanochips in the vax, and questions like whether the vax bioweapon has a race/gene-specific target for their genocide attempt. What if any connection there is to chemtrail spraying, HAARP etc is more fodder for speculation and dot-connecting.
I don't want to derail the core theme of your fine boutique, but this biowar campaign underway is simply the biggest thing facing humanity right now, and most don't know it. Yes, "the terrorists" are coming straight for you and yours now, brandishing bioweapon filled needles, while blaring over their loudspeakers, "this is not an assault"... Does the Mighty Wurlitzer's strange "unity" around this biowar remind you of any other big/dubious events?

I submit that this is momentarily more urgent, due to the window we're in now to wake-up/educate those in our sphere of influence, that we can better lock arms in rejecting this "mandatory" tyranny. Imagine it this way, the plane hit the first tower, the jackasses with bullhorns were in the second tower telling everyone things are secure go back to their cubicles, and you were magically there to tell them to run like hell instead. Understanding 911 Truth is certainly helpful in accepting that big conspiracies are afoot, but we need those still hopelessly asleep to 911 to join the biowar resistance regardless.

ABC News Exclusive: Holocaust Faker Speaks Out
Did Wall St. Finance Hitler?
Ah yes, the old "invent a forgery that tells the truth so as to deny the truth by claiming it is told in a forgery..." (see Dan Rather, Bush military records...)
http://reformed-theology.org/html/books/wall_street/chapter_10.htm
Who Was "Sidney Warburg"?
The question posed in this chapter is the accusation that some Wall Street financiers (the Rockefellers and Warburgs specifically have been accused) directly planned and financed Hitler's takeover in 1933, and that they did this from Wall Street. On this question the so-called myth of "Sidney Warburg" is relevant. Prominent Nazi Franz von Papen has stated in his Memoirs:3
A book with this title in Dutch by "Sidney Warburg" was indeed published in 1933, but remained on the book stalls in Holland only for a matter of days. The book was purged.4 One of three surviving original copies was translated into English. The translation was at one time deposited in the British Museum, but is now withdrawn from public circulation and is unavailable for research. Nothing is now known of the original Dutch copy upon which this English translation was based.
The second Dutch copy was owned by Chancellor Schussnigg in Austria, and nothing is known of its present whereabouts. The third Dutch copy found its way to Switzerland and was translated into German. The German translation has survived down to the present day in the Schweizerischen Sozialarchiv in Zurich, Switzerland. A certified copy of the authenticated German translation of this Swiss survivor was purchased by the author in 1971 and translated into English. It is upon this English translation of the German translation that the text in this chapter is based.
Publication of the "Sidney Warburg" book was duly reported in the New York Times (November 24, 1933) under the title "Hoax on Nazis Feared." A brief article noted that a "Sidney Warburg" pamphlet has appeared in Holland, and the author is not the son of Felix Warburg. The translator is J. G. Shoup, a Belgian newspaperman living in Holland. The publishers and Shoup "are wondering if they have not been the victims of a hoax." The Times account adds:
Why was the Dutch original withdrawn from circulation in 1933? Because "Sidney Warburg" did not exist and a "Sidney Warburg" was claimed as the author. Since 1933 the "Sidney Warburg" book has been promoted by various parties both as a forgery and as a genuine document. The Warburg family itself has gone to some pains to substantiate its falsity.
What does the book report? What does the book claim happened in Germany in the early 1930s? And do these events have any resemblance to facts we know to be true from other evidence?
From the viewpoint of research methodology it is much more preferable to assume that the "Sidney Warburg" book is a forgery, unless we can prove the contrary. This is the procedure we shall adopt. The reader may well ask — then why bother to look closely at a possible forgery? There are at least two good reasons, apart from academic curiosity.
First, the Warburg claim that the book is a forgery has a curious and vital flaw. The Warburgs deny as false a book they admit not to have read t nor even seen. The Warburg denial is limited specifically to non-authorship by a Warburg. This denial is acceptable; but it does not deny or reject the validity of the contents. The denial merely repudiates authorship.
Second, we have already identified I.G. Farben as a key financier and backer of Hitler. We have provided photographic evidence (page 64) of the bank transfer slip for 400,000 marks from I.G. Farben to Hitler's "Nationale Treuhand" political slush fund account administered by Rudolf Hess. Now it is probable, almost certain, that "Sidney Warburg" did not exist. On the other hand, it is a matter of public record that the Warburgs were closely connected with I.G. Farben in Germany and the United States. In Germany Max Warburg was a director of I.G. Farben and in the United States brother Paul Warburg (father of James Paul Warburg) was a director of American I.G. Farben. In brief, we have incontrovertible evidence that some Warburgs, including the father of James Paul, the denouncer of the "Sidney Warburg" book, were directors of I.G. Farben. And I.G. Farben is known to have financed Hitler. "Sidney Warburg" was a myth, but I.G. Farben directors Max Warburg and Paul Warburg were not myths. This is reason enough to push further.
not sure what to make of this...

Behind the smoke and smother of the Great War ulterior purposes had been pursued which were to breed another war, and of that one, none yet knows what may come, though all can now see that its end was more ominous than the conclusion of the first one.
A strange new world dawned in 1918. Not only the kings and hereditary princes were gone but, with them, the statesmen! In the great American Republic an ailing man, who knew little of the stuff he handled, was President, and that unhappy event was to repeat itself in even more dangerous
form in the next war, with results so much the worse. In the British island, for the first time, a demagogic politician with equally little knowledge of Europe held untramelled power; and by his own statements, later published, he had privately made territorial arrangements of the direstconsequences in the Middle East.
The foundations of the Zionist Empire had there been laid and the seeds of endless embitterment and war had thus been sown among the Moslem millions. The Communist Empire had been set up in Moscow by a horde of conspirators arrived there from New York, and from New York too their funds came; both those things are now on record. Neither of
these things was ever admitted to be among the purposes of the Great War when it was begun; both were gravely dangerous to the West, and would prove to be so before another twenty-five years had run.
Towards this new, then unimaginable world, Otto Strasser and millions like him in many lands of the West turned their faces, in 1918.
"from New York too their funds came"
That's backwards. The Allies attempted to aid the Whites in Russia's civil war, but the Whites lost because they were hopelessly out of touch with what the overwhelming majority of Russians demanded. If one wants to engage in alternative-history speculating, it's plausible that if the White officers had given their support to a moderately Left-wing government led by Mensheviks and Social Revolutionaries then this might have won. But nothing further to the Right of that was feasible within Russia's climate at that time. The majority of Russians weren't necessarily pro-Bolshevik in any strict sense, but they without any doubt all demanded some type of radical Left-wing revolutionary change. If the military officers had just accepted that this meant a government no further to the Right than the Mensheviks and SRs then that might have worked, but they failed to adapt to this reality. That's what brought about the Bolshevik victory, not any imaginary Wall Street conspiracy to put the Bols in power.
