You are lying, again.

You wrote:

‘‘They clearly used slave labor, but they did not institute the policy or enslave the workers, nor is there any evidence that they abused them. In fact, if you would for one second consider a secondary source for your BS, several authorities would suggest to you that keeping those forced laborers working may have been the most humanitarian thing one could have done, given the alternatives.’

You are now pretending you didn’t say it, notwithstanding the fact that clearly you did.

I have repeated asked you to provide the ‘authorities’ you claim support this, but you never do.

I have asked you to explain how, given the archival evidence that Wernher Von Braun

‘‘‘explicitly discussed and adopted as policy the use of SS-provided slave labour in rocket production’

you can possibly claim that Von Braun did not institute the policy. You have not done so.

I have asked you to explain how you can possibly claim that Von Braun did not abuse the slaves, given that we have the testimony of one of the few survivors that Von Braun was “completely unperturbed” by the piles of corpses on his visits to the factory.

You have not done so.

I have asked you to explain why you claim that those piles of corpses were the outcome of your ‘most humanitarian’ solution.

You have not done so.

I have pointed out that, notwithstanding your ongoing refusal to accept that the use of prisoners of war as slave labour is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions, the Japanese officials responsible for enslaving prisoners of war were tried following the war, and the ones who were found guilty were executed.

You have no answer, so you fall back on lying, yet again.

In the meantime I stand by my suggestion that you and David Irving are a matched pair; you could sit around the Big Brother house explaining to your fellow inmates that the piles of corpses in the living room were the ‘most humanitarian’ solution to your little local difficulties…

At first I thought you must have me confused with someone else– i.e. “You still haven’t provided those authorities you were talking about, the ones who state that slave labour was humane and acceptable in the Nazi camps, and you still haven’t explained how those piles of corpses fit in with that humane and acceptable Solution, Final or otherwise.” –but when I looked back, I saw no one else had suggested any such thing either.

It might be nicer to call your tactic by its little Latin fallacy, but hell, let’s just call it what it is, shall we? A lie.

I expected better.

As Chick Murray would say “I’m trying to break a bar of toffee in my back pocket”

You sure….???

I’m hoping these personality traits are peculiar to Glasgow - there must be sane Scottish men out there somewhere….

Pamela, I hope you see my last, serious post

take care

Sort of. I was born in Glasgow, but I grew up in a village in Renfrewshire.

I skelped what that went before me?

And why have you turned into Gandolf?

So, were you a raving Marxist in the olden days then?
