You're most welcome. And back to you, I appreciate you and this thread. I don't know why this topic is so difficult for many GAW members to absorb. Many seem to prefer to stay in the "comfort zone" of the fraud they've been conditioned to believe their entire lives, instead of looking at the facts. This topic is VITALLY important to understand what is going on today, and not "meaningless ancient history."

Auschwitz had 52,389. The total dead in all camps was 271,507 -- 90% of them from typhus.
Near the top of the document are the population statistics of the world's religious groups, both in 1933 and 1948. The images can be expanded by clicking on them.
I think it's simply because the majority of Zionism tainted Christianity teaches the lie of psuedojews needing blind respect from misrepresenting what the Bible is saying. Most fly the flag of Israel and have no clue what it stands for. Most churches have sermons that don't dive deep enough into the historical aspects of the Bible and focus more on the message, relating different verses and chapters. That's why the most popular translations of the Bible that are used in churches are not literal translations. Which in a basic sense I'm not knocking, because it is easier to read.. but most people only know of the KJV and NIV, and more recently the CASB and NLT. Research what Bible the Founders brought to America was. You will find it was not the KJV, it was the Geneva Bible, the peoples Bible.
There's also often no room for debate in a church. It is sometimes scorned upon to suggest there are different interpretations of scriptures, so that ignorant mentality allows no progress of understanding. Which causes the problem you highlight.
100% accurate.
Exactly. They are too lazy to look up that the 6-pointed star on the flag (which is also on the Pope's hat) is the Star of Remphan, which is an evil symbol, not a good one. Also, the 2 stripes are symbolism that the jewish plan from the beginning in 1947 was to annilate all non-jews in Palestine.
And since the jews have nothing at all to do with the Israelites of the Bible (they have always been "name-stealers"), it shows how fully indoctrinated most Christians are today.
Right. 99% of Christian pastors/preachers will take one small snippet of a verse (often, out-of-context) and then tell some personal story about themselves or a friend of a brother of a parishoner blah blah blah ... some bullshit story (probably fake to begin with) that supposedly explains that small snippet of a verse.
They will NEVER actually talk about the CONTEXT of what that passage was actually saying IN THE BIBLE. This is what they are taught to do in their fake seminary education.
It was even worse for most of Christianity. For 1,000 years, the Roman Catholic Church ruled over Christianity. The popes and the bishops just made up whatever the fuck they wanted to about what the Bible supposedly said, and called it the church doctrine. ANYONE who said or wrote anything in disagreement was guilty of heresy and EXECUTED. That included all the translators and scribes who were writing from the original Hebrew or Greek, even if they discovered something that was not in agreement with the church doctrine.
Martin Luther finally learned of this blastephemy by the Roman Catholic Church, and that is what sparked the Protestant Reformation (not that the Protesants today are any better, but the split was due to all the LIES of the RCC).
The lies persist today, just like lies in medicine, law, politics, etc.
But most people are so bought-in to what they already believe, that they refuse to consider the possibility that they may have been misled -- whether accidentally or intentionally.
Thank you for the elaboration. I know all of this but it's a very good readout for others who don't know. Thank you for the time you took to do it. I think everyone should have a copy of the Geneva Bible and the NASB/NET to go along with their current one.
I find it very useful to look up Bible verses on biblegateway.com.
It has a couple dozen different Bibles. You can look up a verse, and see how the different versions say something slightly different -- sometimes, quite different.
Anyone who only reads the KJV, is completely ignorant of the fact that it is only ONE English language version. Other versions often translate certain words for phrases differently.
I particularly like to compare and contrast the KJV with Wycliffe, Young's Literal Translation, and the Expanded Bible. A quick drop down menu lets you compare and contrast.
Sometimes, they are the same. Other times, there are some real differences.
This drives home the point that different men throughout history translated the original Hebrew and Greek differently when they were creating the various English versions.
This means that some English versions must necessarily be WRONG in some verses.
And if you learn a little Hebrew and Greek, and compare with those, then the picture changes, sometimes in significant ways.
But the main point is that MOST churches NEVER discuss this, which means that MOST Christians NEVER learn what the Bible actually says -- at least, not from going to church.
Truth in advertising...
Oh. Interesting.
You sure have a lot of info. I appreciate it. I stumbled across this about a year and half ago. it was a Canadian engineer's article. He was working for the Canadian government and came across the concentration camps ovens and capacity. The math didn't add up and so he started to investigate and he ran into lots of resistance. By hooks and crooks he was able to get into the camps to look at the equipment and conclude that there's no freaking way what they said were true.
How I start to research this.
Ernst Zündel?
Fred Leuchter testified for him in the 80s
Blackpilled did a stream about Leuchter: https://www.bitchute.com/video/ekuDnNX8hsHD/ (he starts talking about it at the 3 minute mark through around 2 hours)
worth a watch if you are interested.
Thank you. I am going to flag this one so I can look at all these valuable info everyone is giving me here.
Well, Auschwitz is just like a little town with office buildings. It was primarily a working camp, although it does have a crematorium in the middle of town with 4 ovens iirc. It was relatively easy if you were sent to Auschwitz, you just had to be a slave laborer essentially.
A few miles away is Birkenau, that was the extermination camp. Now that place gave me the creeps.
I have not heard of Birkenau. There was even a swimming pool there. I did not know all that until quite recent.
I've been to both a couple of years ago. Don't recall a swimming pool.
Part of what woke me up to this lie was the video David Cole in Auschwitz...
https://rumble.com/v4vjgjn-david-cole-in-auschwitz-1992.html
Could the ovens have been used for cremating the dead who died from disease/overwork, etc? That could be a logical explanation for their use.
The "official" holocaust story was that jews were first (a) gassed to death, and then (b) cremated -- although, there are also claims they were buried in mass graves near the camps, for which there is exactly zero evidence.
Fred Leutcher was the #1 gas chamber expert in the entire world. Only the USA had executions (of murderers) by gas chamber. The states that did this needed someone to come in, either build or maintain the gas chambers, and educate the executioners on how to do it so they wouldn't end up killing themselves. Fred Leutcher was the go-to man for this expertise.
Because of this, when Erst Zundel was on trial for "muh holocaust denial" in Canada, he hired Leutcher to go investigate the supposed gas chambers in Auschwitz and other camps.
His expert conclusion was that there were no gas chambers, and there were no structures that could have ever been used as gas chambers.
He also testified in Germany over the same topic for a different defendant.
He is the only man in history who was certified by both the German courts and the Canadian courts as an expert witness on the subject of gas chambers in the German labor camps. And his conclusion is that it was all made up. They never existed.
The other side of the debate has NEVER presented any evidence to refute this expert testimony.
Fred Leutcher is still alive today (I think -- he is in his 90's) and still does interviews and still explains why there could never have been any gas chambers.
There WERE delousing chambers to kill lice, which is why the prisoners had their heads shaved, went through the delousing chambers naked, and then issued new clothing, with their old clothing burned (in case they had lice in them). But these chambers could not have been used to kill humans.
Leutcher also did an investigation into the crematoriums. Yes, those did exist. He was not en expert, so for the Zundel court case, he went to American experts who built and used crematoriums of that time. He learned from the experts in that field, so he could include this information in his reports to the court.
His opinion is that the crematoriums were used for dead bodies. The disease of typhus was spread via lice. At first, the Germans did bury dead bodies in the fields, but they quickly realized that the typhus could spread from the dead bodies underground and contaminate the water table. So, they built crematoriums to destroy the chance for typhus to spread.
However, doing the math, he concluded that in order to kill 6 million, they would still be cremating them today. So, not physically possible.
Excellent post.
Another important things for everyone to know is about the movie "Schindler's List." Most people think it was a documentary or some sort of historical factual account, due to the deceptive way that Steven Spielberg (a jew) directed and produced it.
HOWEVER ... it was FICTION.
It was based on the book, which (from Wiki) ...
Much like Anne Frank's Diary. It was written in ball point pen, a new creation at that time that only the ultra-rich had. And some people say, well she wrote it and her dad embellished it, but handwriting experts say that the same hand wrote the ball point portions and the other portions. And her father was sued, and lost in court, to a man he owed money to for helping him write it. So basically the whole thing is BS and they are still teaching that crap in school.
https://odysee.com/@Blackpilled:b/burns2:f?r=9ag7dTyZF31mt82D6t5yP3KPxedgNxw9&t=5160
Blackpilled's entire Burns Libel series is really good.
Historical fiction means it is fiction based on fact, so the events are real but told in a fictional manner with private dialogue (etc) that can’t be known but only speculated.
SOMETIMES it means that. But not in the case of "Schindler's List."
Here is an interview with Ernst Zundel, talking about the movie and the book.
Go to 6:30 of the video.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/yrai0wSAEMl6/
From the author's own words about the book:
It does NOT say: "based on a true story."
It DOES say: "a work of fiction, and a product of the author's imagination."
It is a book of FICTION -- according to the author.
I will take the word of the person who wrote it over your opinion, or that of anyone else.
Wasn’t there a big showing once where Schindler was there among an audience that they revealed to be those he saved many decades before?
What's the purpose? I don't understand why this topic is vital today.
In the words, if people lied about this, what changes? Victim-based history is the left's MO. I care about what people do today and don't inherently ascribe the sins of the fathers to a particular ethnic group.
Israel is already not to be trusted for many other reasons.
Entire history books have been created to hide who the bolsheviks were, and their role in WWI and WWII. If the world realized that they are jews, fulfilling their myths and legends for world domination and control, the entire advantage of hiding behind lies about history evaporates. It's too much for a brief post here, but the goals of Zionism and judaism, including how goyim are to be treated and lied to, are pretty horrific.
They demonized not only Hitler, but an entire COUNTRY, humiliating and demoralizing them to serve their purposes. That alone should infuriate the world. All to cover their own crimes. Estimates go as high as 60 million Europeans murdered between 1915 and 1950 by the bolsheviks.
They control the media, banking, corporations (including pharmaceutical companies -- vaxx anyone?), social media and the internet, and entire governments. Money is stolen from us through currency manipulation and interest rates.
Certainly, if you've spent any time at all on this message board, you are aware of the "cabal" and the "New World Order." If you learn about the above, it becomes clear who is behind all this. In fact, in their twisted system of logic, they must TELL YOU what they plan to do. If you hear it, and do nothing, then...in their minds...you have essentially agreed to it. I could provide many such confessions of jews of what they plan for world domination, or their interpretations of the Talmud for the same.
I hope you understand why this is important. Their plan never stopped, and continues it its operation.
Sure - do you have any details on the following topics (feel free to create as a new informative post):
Why did Hitler invade Poland and bomb England in your view for example?
Primary sources for a Talmud translation and some of the quotes you mention. I'm aware of specific evil individuals like Soros, Huvari, bureaucrats in the Biden admin, etc.
What was the Bolsheviks involvement in WW1 and WW2? I have heard of the Russian genocide but not any specific involvement in those wars.
Evidence specifically indicating an ethnic based conspiracy outside of the Bolsheviks. A lot of the evil seems to be from people who identify more with atheism than the Talmud specifically.
I have a few friends who are Jewish and they have no part in a broader conspiracy.
Here's my take:
Watch this video. It will explain everything about Hitler and Poland -- and do so in Hitler's own words. No need to read or watch what someone's opinion of it is, if the man himself tells you.

You can learn a lot about the Talmud here:
https://theserapeum.com/the-babylonian-talmud-the-jews-most-unholy-book/
This is a MASSIVE topic. And since it has been kept hidden from mainstream sources, it is overwhelming. Learning about different aspects takes a huge dose of Red Pill so you can mentally put it all together so it makes sense.
First, There was no involvement of Bolsheviks in WW1. The Tsar still controlled Russia, circa 1914. He did send his troops into WW1 to help with his obligations in WW1.
But while the military was away, the Bolsheviks (jews) invaded Moscow, murdered the Tsar and his family (in a very brutal way, btw), and overthrew the government of Russia in 1917, while the Tsar was distracted with WW1.
BTW, this was not the first jewish attempt to take over Russia. They first started a war between Russia and Japan in 1904, funding Japan.
In 1905, they tried to use this distraction of the Tsar to take over Russia, but they failed. Lenin was exhiled. They then started WW1 to get Russia into a larger war, and to distract the Tsar. This time, when they sent non-Russians in as mercenaries, they had enough manpower to overthrow Moscow, since most of the military was in Europe, fighting WW1.

Wall Street Jews Funded the Bolshevik Takeover (both the attempt in 1905, and later again in 1917). WW1 was to take over Russia, and WW2 was to take over Europe, then the world (another video I link to explains that):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaFklTLNy8c
While the Germans were losing WW1, their country was in chaos. The jews tried to do to the Germans what they had just done to the Russians:

Hitler rose to power, and you have to understand his motives.
First, he wanted to end any threat of the jewish communists (and Antifa) to overthrow Germany.
Next, he wanted to get rid of the subversive influence of the "bad jews" in Germany. He called them the "international jew."
Why did he want them out of Germany, and ideally, out of Europe?
Because he KNEW what they had done -- things that YOU were never told about.
Here ya go ...
The bloodthirsty jewish Bolsheviks after WW1 and before WW2 is what you need to know. This is WHY Hitler was fighting against the jewish communists.

I'm a little hesitant here because I don't want to derail brain_dead's thread. There is much to cover in your questions, but I'll try to summarize as best as I can.
At the same time, Poland made a back-door deal with England, such that England would be a protectorate of Poland in the case of war, and would also pay Poland reparations. Following a particularly bloody massacre of German civilians, Hitler said enough and marched into Warsaw. The jews announced to the world in the various newspapers they ran, "Germany Invades Poland!" Germany was certainly within rights to invade, but that's not how the press spun it.
https://www.wintersonnenwende.com/scriptorium/english/archives/articles/wrsynopsis.html
What the world doesn't know about the "London Blitz" is that it was Churchill's doing. The War was winding down, Germany was essentially winning, and there were no new threats to spin to gain traction again. Against internationally-recognized treaties, Churchill ordered the bombing of civilian targets in Germany. Hitler practically begged Churchill to stop, but these were ignored. In fact, Hitler offered almost three dozens offers of peace to various nations. Churchill wanted to get the U.S. involved, but he knew that Americans wanted no part of the war. He knew it would require something "big" to sway public opinion, so he goaded Hitler into doing what he knew would be the result of bombing civilian targets...and get the U.S. into the War so it could be won.
The same thing was done in WWI to get the U.S. into the War, by sinking the Lusitania.

We need to know about the lies that we are told.
Otherwise, you cannot learn the TRUE lessons of history, which means you cannot figure out what to do in the future.
I find your question to be absolutely shocking that you would not understand that you MUST learn from history in order to make better decisons in the future.
"He who fails to learn from history is condemned to repeat it." -- Santayana
And the REASON people fail to learn from history is because they are LIED TO about history.
LOL!
Downvoted because you DON'T want to know about the lies you were told.
Thank you, Mr. Ostrich Downvoter! Glad to see you have your head firmly planted in the sand.
Nothing quite like a "Great Awakening" that starts with pretending that lies don't exist.
I didn't downvote you fren.
I was being sincere in asking what folks felt like the lesson was.
I already know that people are evil and often lie, including in history. I'm asking in this specific case what do you feel like was an important takeaway.
Thanks for responding.
Are you asking why it is important to know the lies we have been told about the holocaust?
Why would you not want to know if one of the biggest events in history was entirely made up and a lie to deceive you?
Don't you want to know if you are being deceived?
Seems to me it would be important to know about being lied to, and what the agenda was/is, and still is to perpetuate the lie.
That's kinda what "conspiracy theory" stuff is all about. What are the lies -- and what is the AGENDA behind the lies?
Because it is not in YOUR best interest, whatever that agenda might be. It is to YOUR harm. Otherwise, the lie would not be necessary.
