Présentation de La Mystification du XXe siècle

Pour l’auteur de The Hoax of the Twentieth Century (La Mystification du XXe siècle) la prétendue extermination physique des juifs européens pendant la seconde guerre mondiale constitue ce qu’on peut indifféremment appeler un mensonge historique, un mythe, une imposture ou, comme c’est ici le cas, une mystification (le mot de «hoax» se traduit indifféremment par « mystification…

Preface to Georges Theil’s Heresy in Twenty-first Century France: A case of insubmission to the “Holocaust” dogma

Historical revisionism, the great intellectual adventure of the late twentieth century, continues at the dawn of the twenty-first, as perilous as ever. But what is known of the revisionists? What stuff are they made of, these unsubdued people who, in France or abroad, persist in braving the written and unwritten laws? They are hunted, caught…

Against the revisionists, argument ad hominem (Nicholas Fraser, Adrien Le Bihan, Pierre Vidal-Naquet)

At times, in a debate of ideas, an attack on the person of the adversary can be justified if, explicitly or implicitly, this type of attack is preceded or accompanied by an argumentation on the substance. On the other hand, a pure and simple ad hominem argument, without further ado, only betrays an inability to…

Sur Valérie Igounet, Histoire du négationnisme en France

Fax à Serge Thion Nunuche a produit son livre sur le « Négationnisme ». L’entretien avec Jean-Claude Pressac est impayable. Jacques Baynac est abondamment cité mais on passe sous silence ses deux longs articles du Nouveau Quotidien de Lausanne de septembre 1996 où il est dit qu’il n’y a pas de preuves de l’existence des chambres à…
