When's new Pricelessware CD due?

-- hot (again) from alt.comp.freeware --- On 27 Jun 2007, HUMMINGBIRD wrote: You may recall that the comments you refer to were in response to Franklin who asserted indirectly that there was only one holocaust, - 'The Holocaust' - even though the OP in that debate used the term "a holocaust" and I asked the OP which he was referring to. A reasonable question you might think. Hello Hummingbird This isn't difficult stuff but I can see you want to make a full sized meal of it. I pointed out that although "Holocaust" is a word which can be used as simile for a number of conflagrations and in particular those in which human bodies were burned in large numbers, that western culture immediately recognises a mention of "Holocaust" as referring to the mass killings under Hitler as a first interpretation of the word. One of the problems you face in giving this another interpretation is that the word may or may not be capitalized as a proper noun. As a capitalized word you would have no difficulty in understanding the reference. (On second thoughts, maybe you would have difficulty because your aim is to argue then to accept honest ideas.) By convention, email and Usenet posts very often *omit* capitals and that is where your presumptions have let you down. You did not check why the original post by »Q« was left uncapitalized. Franklin popped up (as he does) and posted a link to a Zionist website to support his claim (oh!) and when he got out of his depth deviously set the follow-up of the thread to several Zionist infested newsgroups without any mention of it in his post. A dirty trick or what? I gave a link to a website (which you may or may not have approved of) where the use of the word "Holocaust" was illustrated. I also told you this was off-topic for this group and said I had set the follow-up to a group in which this sort of thing was usually discussed. Below is what I posted. One problem is becming evident and that is that you appear to belong to a group which is sometimes called "Holocaust Deniers" and for this reason you have found the examples I have given have triggered off a knee-jerk reaction. Furthermore it is becomeing clearer how the phrase "moral superiority" (which is what gave rise to all this ~ remember?) is actually a description of your general attitude and that will have irked you. I guess this is a hot button for you. Some will press it now you have told them and others, like me, will offer you a more normal interpretation of meaning. ================= START OF QUOTATION ====================== "Holocaust" refers to the extensive killing of Jews and other people by Nazi Germany. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/.../36quest1.html A small minority do not agree that the holocaust was anything like depicted in typical history books and some of these people are opposed to the very notion that the holocaust ever took place at all. Their opponents accuse them of having low or no morals as they appear to seek to deliberately upset Jews by saying the Jews never suffered in Nazi Germany as much as is claimed. Some of these opponents claim a "moral obligation" to fight the ideas about the holocaust which this minority put forward. Others use the idea of "moral certainty". http://www.fpp.co.uk/Letters/trial/Marques260400.html Many of the anti-holocaust people reply to this by arguing their case with a high moral tone which they make appear as greater than that of their detractors. And so we come to what was posted he "... assuming the moral authority of one opposing a holocaust" As I said earlier, this makes a simple reference to qualify a certain degree of "moral authority". That's all there is to it. If you are not familiar with this then next time then you could always try Google. ================= END OF QUOTATION ====================== Anybody who studies history will know that a number of holocausts have occurred in 20c history as I pointed out to him. It is Zionist Jews who hijacked the term after WWII as pointed out by Finkelstein (himself a Jew) in his excellent book 'The Holocaust Industry'. What you claim may be true and it may therefore be the reason why Holocaust is so well known as referring to the Hitler period. Holocaust may have less than elegant etymological foundations but we are not here to change that. The point is about what has become accepted usage. We have been through all this: I have once already said Which is a good example of you trying to swerve the discussion into a hate debate about Nazi Germany's Holocaust. How does your reference add to the discussion in which you had a plroblem understanding a phrase that used the word "holocaust"? Answer: nothing at all. It is just a troll for a racist uproar in here. And I refused to bite on that one. But as I pointed out, it is widely accepted that "holocaust" refers to what the Nazi Germans did. Hummingbird's views on Jews, Israel, Judaism, Zionism, etc are below and are not for me to comment on. ========= now follows Hummingbird's personal views ========== Then of course there's JAZ who have their own views about Zionism. They're all Jews doncha know and I respect them for speaking out, but they've all been labelled 'self-hating' Jews. No surprise there. While we're at it, the excellent report last year about Jewish Lobby influence in American politics/media (investigated and written by two Jews) caused them to be labelled 'self-hating' jews by the Zionists who devote their lives attacking anyone who dares to speak out. This shouldn't surprise us because Ashkenazi Jews have a long history of association with Bolshevism and Trotskyism etc ...Levi Strauss & Co and the current day Neocons inside the Beltway - Wolfowitz is a Strauss disciple. But don't let the truth get in your way raincoatman, Franklin doesn't. Like many people of his ilk and many uninformed Americans, anybody who dares to even mention Zionism, Israel or Jews in the slightest critical way is immediately labelled 'anti-semitic' or a 'self-hating' Jew. It took Franklin about 4 hours to do that before. This is the problem in the US where so much of the media is owned and run by those who wish to portray a false picture of history and it's output amounts to little more than brainwashing of the masses. Victors always get to write the history...and the Zionists have had 65 years to write, re-write and refine WWII. As for Hitler - I wouldn't spit on his grave if he had one. My quest is for liberty and freedom of the individual, nothing else, but I'm afraid that often means challenging the status quo which often makes it uncomfortable for the brainwashed mass sheep. ========== end of Hummingbird's personal views ============= All this remains off topic in ACF and off topic in your other current newsgroups like rec.travel.air and uk.finance. However as you are essentially baiting for replies then I will offer you the oxygen of wider publicity. |
