Subject: My upgraded article on the Hitler quote at the USHMM

Abstract:
Not long after the Nazi takeover of Germany and proclamation of their Jewish agenda, Armenian propaganda efforts were directed toward establishing a linkage between their own historical experiences and those of European Jewry. Following WWII the cornerstone in the Armenian case has been Adolf Hitler’s purported remark “Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?” This sentence is widely known, quoted, taught, and believed worldwide. National and local governments in several countries have used it to justify resolutions declaring that the alleged slaughter of Armenians by Turks was genocide. The veracity of this statement, however, cannot be confirmed anywhere in the transcripts of evidence admitted into record by the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal. Quite the contrary. Transcripts of the speech in which that statement was supposedly made by Hitler on August 22, 1939, and admitted into evidence are devoid of that sentence. Believed to be Hitler’s justification for the invasion of Poland and his “final solution,” that sentence may, in fact, be a contrived statement. Using archival documents, this paper casts doubt upon the veracity of that statement and questions the validity of its use on a USHMM wall in a memorial to victims of genocide. These findings are put into the context of the Armenians’ use of terror as part of a propaganda campaign. This campaign began in the second half of the 19th century, for the purpose of alerting western countries to their victimization and encouraging the west of the need to dismantle the Ottoman Empire. One outcome of WWI. This paper relies on various archival documents including contemporaneous articles from the New York Times and Western diplomatic dispatches as well as writings by ethnic Armenian historians in both the US and the USSR.

    Herr Professor [of engineering] Reisman should stick to his discipline, and leave historic analysis to actual professionals .

    Contrary to the implication of the article, Armenians had nothing to do with the promulgation of the Hitler quote. German-American journalist William Lochner testified that he was given notes of the meeting with Hitler contemporaneously by one of the atendees. His source is widely believed to be Wilhelm Canaris, head of the Abwehr. Lochner provided the information, including the Armenian references within 24 hours to the British and Americans.

    Neither was there any finding that the quote was unreliable.

    The deeper implication of this propaganda by the sycophant Reisman, an embarassment to Jewry, is that Hitler and his coterie did not rely upon the CUP’s murderous “success” in destroying the Anatolian Christians in formulating their plans.

    The idea that Hitler did not know of the state murder of the Armenians is risible. He served in the German army in the Great War. The destruction of the Armenians was common knowledge, not the secret Nazi Turks desire it to be.

    One of Hitler’s chief early strategists, Scheubner-Richter had been vice-consul in Erzerum. Moreover, Hitler disclosed his extermination plans in 1931 to German journalist Richard Breting in 1931.

    He said “We intend to introduce a resettlement policy. Think of the biblical deportations and the massacres of the Middle Ages…and remember the extermination of the Armenians. One eventually reaches the conclusion that the masses of man are mere biological plasticine.”

    Reisman spits on the graves and desecrates the memory of all victims of state murder by helping to distort the truth. In this small and unnoticed way, he shields the killers of women and children, Jews, Armenians, Cambodians and Darfurians.

    What’s next – will you claim that Lemkin did not think the Armenians suffered Genocide?

    It is indicative of how the ones who desperately attempt to validate the unproven “Armenian genocide” claim feverishly compose their propaganda to throw the facts into question, as the one and only comment on this page thus far, from someone with the username of “jda” has shamefully attempted to do, in 2011. Here we are, nearly a decade later, and it is further indicative of why such propagandists have become successful, as no one has cared to pen a response.

    This person hasn’t even read Dr. Arnold Reisman’s paper. It’s not easily accessible. Yet we already know from Prof. Heath Lowry’s excellent “The U.S. Congress and Adolf Hitler on the Armenians” (from 1985: http://www.ataa.org/reference/hitler-lowry.html), as well as perhaps the only scholar of Armenian ancestry with integrity regarding the genocide topic, Dr. Robert John, that the “Hitler Quote” is an abject forgery.

    The originals of the three-page typed German manuscript Lochner first revealed in his 1942 book, “What About Germany” may be found online; this forgery was not even written on a German typewriter. Every other variation of the speech, aside from the one that was made up by Louis Lochner, contains no reference to the Hitler Quote, nor to any of the other nonsense that is present only in the Lochner version. The Nuremberg authorities definitely rejected Lochner’s version, questioning its validity. (Despite the absurd claim by “jda” that there was no “finding that the quote was unreliable.”)

    If “jda” is so troubled by how Dr. Reissman’s academic specialty is not in history, it is curious how “jda” has no care for how the charlatans known as “genocide scholars” have backgrounds in equally unrelated fields, predominantly sociology and political science.

    (To make up for this deficit, genocide-centric universities such as Clark University and the University of Amsterdam have been granting genocide polemicists history degrees. A historian has the duty of examining everything of relevance in order to arrive at impartial conclusions, whereas the genocide scholar operates in the opposite fashion, to safeguard the predetermined conclusion, frequently through the utilization of the most corrupt information available.)

    Lochner’s “source is widely believed to be Wilhelm Canaris, head of the Abwehr.” Widely believed by whom? (Lochner did not name any source in his book. The propagandists are experts at coming up with whatever will confuse, and whatever will support their hateful agenda.)

    This author ends his piece with the sentence, “What’s next – will you claim that Lemkin did not think the Armenians suffered Genocide?” Just as the Armenians have made excellent usage of the fake Hitler Quote (which is what Reissman was alluding to, and which “jda” attempted to downplay by further composing, “Contrary to the implication of the article, Armenians had nothing to do with the promulgation of the Hitler quote”; Armenians have had EVERYTHING to do with popularizing the fake quote), there is the common claim that the Armenian story inspired Lemkin to think of “genocide.”

    Yet there is absolutely no mention of Armenians in Lemkin’s 1944 book (“Axis Rule in Occupied Europe”) which coined the “genocide” word. Lemkin only began to stress Armenians at a destitute phase of his life, when he began to work with Christian organizations in the USA, beginning around 1949.

    The “Armenian genocide” world repeats one lie after another, and the claim has become commonly accepted, because there is no shortage of hateful and dishonest people such as “jda” and there is hardly anyone else who has cared to expose them.
