Revisionism

Tucker Carlson recently hosted a man calling himself Darryl Cooper to discuss a range of things, including alternative narratives of the Second World War. Cooper also calls himself MartyrMade online and hosts the The MartyrMade Podcast. He specializes in historical revisionism and the history of items that get little attention, like Jim Jones and the People’s Temple in the 1970’s.

The great and the good are in a panic, because Cooper, while on the Tucker Carlson show, suggested that Churchill was not the hero the official narrative claims, but more likely the villain of the story. Since the show aired there has been a steady stream of toadies and lickspittles pointing and shrieking at both Tucker and Cooper. By now everyone knows the drill.

As someone pointed out in response to one of the pointers and shriekers, the official narrative around the Second World War is closer to a religion than history. It is tangled up in the founding myths of the United States. It is part of the larger narrative that forms the identity of the American ruling class. To question any part of this narrative is to question the moral legitimacy of the ruling elite.

As an aside, Cooper is not breaking new ground regarding Churchill. Pat Buchanan wrote a book titled, Churchill, Hitler And The Unnecessary War, which sought to break the “cult of Churchill” that had come to dominate the American elite. The same people freaking out now over Cooper, freaked out of Buchanan, so the freakout works as confirmation of both men’s central claim.

The thing is though, the Second Word War is just one part of a larger narrative that makes up the great American myth of existence. The twentieth century saw a rewriting of American history to recast the founding, the war between the states and the emergence of the Global American Empire in the context of a great mission for which the American people have been tasked.

That is the show this week. It is not a comprehensive thesis on revising the American story, but more of a starting point for looking at the key events that make up the myth of the American founding and the myth of American purpose. After all, if a key item like the story of WW2 is fake, then it is reasonable to assume the story around other key events of the myth are fake as well.

The Western Allies liberated plenty of concentration camps, though not a single death camp. Initially, a lot of the camps in the Western sector were believed to be death camps because of all the dead bodies, but after Eisenhower ordered coroners to perform autopsies on the bodies they found, it was concluded that nobody had been gassed and that the overwhelming majority had died of typhus, diphtheria and malnutrition. So after all the Western camps had been examined, the “death camps” left were all in the Soviet Sector, where no Western coroner was allowed. It’s still illegal according to “Jewish… Read more »

Hitler’s war is, by the way, copyright free. As in you can legally download and read it. It is entirely Denial-free as well, and because Irving never had tenure, his livelihood depended on making his books entertaining and engaging, so it’s a page-turner.

The same goes, apropos, for Churchill’s War, which Tucker’s guest is essentially paraphrasing. Alas, Irving has only finished two volumes, and it doesn’t seem like we’ll see a third in his lifetime.

Hitler’s War is truly a page turner and far more insightful than schlock such as The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, which was written by an American journalist. (Fyi, both authors can or could read and speak German.) Irving wrote also a book in the 1960’s about the holocaust at Dresden. I don’t recall the title, which I believe was changed for a revised edition. The original edition is mentioned with Irving’s name on the copyright page of my copy of Slaughterhouse-Five. This other book was written by a socialist who survived the great firebombing of Dresden, to… Read more »

Ali, with respect, your posting is what I decry here in the commentary. This book by Shirer is recognized as the seminal work on the subject of WWII. I remember reading it as a young boy. It is still read today as a complete and understandable overview on the subject.

Shirer himself was there during the NAZI regime. His book was a best seller, received numerous awards, and so forth.
You attack his work without a single supporting reason as to why Shirer is in error, or a citation as to support for you assertion.

The editions are called The Destruction of Dresden, respectively Apocalypse 1945.

And don’t expect to find much in the way of eye-witness descriptions in Slaughterhouse, alas, it’s about five pages altogether. A great read if you like acid age sci-fi but it’s not about Dresden.

(And not up there with The Sirens of Titan.)

Personally, I hated Churchill before it was cool. I started to think ill of him when I read about his genius plan to make a beach landing at Gallipoli when the Ottoman guns could reach the beach but the attackers’ fire would fall short of Ottoman positions. Later on, I learned about his general arrogance, bullheadedness and boozing.

The mythology surrounding WWII is the foundation of the modern West’s morality – and it’s based on lies.

But those lies will crumble as the Boomer generation goes to that big disco in the sky. Young whites either don’t care or if they do, view WWII with the same emotion that they view Caesar’s Gaul campaign. They’re much more open to re-examining that period. And, of course, Asians don’t care at all.

In the early eighties, I was out hiking with the boy scouts, and our leaders told us to knock it off with the heil Hitler-bullshit. For the rest of the hike, every time a car passed us, we’d spot some interesting bird or tree and point at it with our outstretched hands, marvelling at the beauty of Mother Nature.

Thinking back, I’m surprised they didn’t just drown us all in the ditch.

The McHolocaust chain museums are all set pieces from movies.

That’s a big piece of this. The people for whom WWII was a key religious tenet are having a harder time pushing back on it’s criticism because there aren’t enough of them to do so anymore (or are too old to care). It’s easy for people younger than them to look around and figure the wrong team won the war.

“And, of course, Asians don’t care at all.” I would agree they don’t care about the holocaust, but to say they don’t care about WW2 is wrong. The Chinese and to a lesser extent, the Koreans care deeply about WW2 and in some ways, like Jews, live in the past. Hating Japanese is a sport in China, at least as far as I can tell. I hear it is very common for school children to put on plays about fighting Japanese. Bayoneting straw soldiers wearing Japanese uniforms is also a fun pastime in China.

It is absolutely true, and even worse in the Philippines and some of the Micronesian and Melanesian island chains, and there is no need to embellish the Japanese atrocities because they were in fact as bad as billed. When Japanese tourists started to visit these places in full in the Eighties, violent assaults on them were common.

I don’t know whether it was coerced or not, but I heard Irving say, at least 10 years ago, probably longer, that he believes the holocaust official narrative, more or less. He said there were some minor disagreements with the “Official Truth,” but that it happened mostly how they said it happened. Though he did say there is not a single shred of documentary evidence that Hitler ordered it or knew about it.

The revisionist argument has never been that Jews didn’t die on the Eastern Front. Of course they did. The Einsatzgruppen shot hundreds of thousands as Soviet partisans. What has been questioned is a) the number of Jews that were deliberately killed vs. incidental war deaths (e.g. typhus) and b) whether the camps were “death camps” with gas chambers, or labor camps where a lot of people died from things like typhus and starvation as the Germans began losing the war.

“A movie like ‘Der Untergang’ ”

‘Der Untergang’ was one of those semi-banned films in the USA. Not much fanfare and quietly taken off after a few weeks. It probably made the tribe acutely uncomfortable as it showed the Germans as humans, and courageous and principled even in defeat. And the film wasn’t even revisionist.

Churchill lost all his money on Black Tuesday of ’29, he had bought a manor house – Chartwell – with half a dozen maids and manservants, and this being during his wilderness years, his only income was from writing and speaking. Luckily a lobby group called Focus rode to his rescue. It was not strictly Jewish: although most members were Jews, there were also English Fabians and some industrialists who wanted the war to crush the German competition to British industry.

But was it really the GAE when it wasn’t attempting to condemn and subjugate white people across the globe? It seems to me that the Cold War was far less reprehensible than the War on Whitey, and it is that moral mulct that, in conjunction with its geopolitical aggression, largely define the GAE.

Sam Francis divided the political history of the USA into three phases: The first republic (1776-1865), the second republic (1865-1945), and the American Empire (1945 – ?). WWII was the definitive entry into the empire. Previous imperial-like adventures (the Spanish-American War, WWI) set the table but WWII was the main course.

A shift there most certainly was, and it was very unfortunate. However, although the instruments of totalitarianism were forged in the crucible of the Civil War, the permanent lurch toward Leftist tyranny didn’t occur until much later. I really believe Leftist supremacy, and particularly New Leftist supremacy, is the key factor in distinguishing between America and something far, far worse.

Maybe.

From my view, America proper ended in 1861. The experiment died. The Constitution never offered an exit clause. However, the Bill of Rights made it clear that the states intended to keep a level of sovereignty that Mr. Lincoln’s War destroyed. I would break up American history into these categories: -American Experiment 1776-1861 – We can still find vestiges of medieval European culture in America in this phase -Imperial America 1861- 1944/1948 – This includes the doubling of the US in less than few decades, the closing of the West, and the odd refusal of the Federal government by 1900… Read more »

The history of USA is the history of a Freemasonic political system (created after independence) slowly corrupting a Christian people (derived from colonization). An evil system for a good people.

Interesting. Hadn’t really thought about that much. Lately I’ve been learning a lot about the ideology of Nazism, and the line from Freemasonry through Rosicrucianism is not exactly subtle in von List, and even stronger in Fritsch. But I hadn’t thought to look for it in the American founding. Where do you see Freemasonry most prominently, or do you think it’s more of a background noise?

The thing that saddens me the most is what has been done to the German people over the last century or so. (full disclosure: my genome is more than half German).

You’re certainly right about Nazis’ views of Christianity. They regarded it as a religion of the weak and as irredemably tainted by Judaism. Now that doesn’t mean they would have slaughtered German Christians, given the chance, but they probably would have marginalized them had they won the war.

They marginalized Christians during the war. The first prisoners in concentration camps were political. Many of them were sincere Christians of all denominations who had their own reasons for opposing the Nazi regime. The Sound of Music is of course a Hollywood production, but the status of Christianity under it appears to be pretty well accurate.
The hope I think though was to wipe out German Christianity through attrition. That’s similar to the hope of rounding up Jews and sending them anywhere else after the war.

Right. Just look at the split in the Reichstag. While early Weimar had dozens of political parties, by 1930 it was pretty accurate to say it split between the international socialists (communists) and the national socialists (nazis), with the commies slightly ahead, depending on where coalitions could be made.

DNVP dropped from around 20% to under 10%. Even the anti-socialist DVP had gone from 50-60 seats to 5, 7 something like that. Late Weimar, socialism was where it was at. The only question was what kind of socialism.

Claimants are multiplying fast in this future scenario, and they’re citing Israel’s own morals as part of the basis for their claims no matter how long ago their people were harmed by Israel. So in this future we have the Egyptians, some Persians, Russians, Han, Germans, Hungarians, Poles, Czechs, and… Read more »

They were the true anti-Semites driving everything. The Con., Inc. crowd became obsessed with this whole thing, but at least they were mentioning the fact that the true driving force was probably the hundreds of thousands of unassimilable Muslims that the Left has imported to vote for them.

The Roosevelt Administration definitely provoked Japan by the use of economic and financial sanctions. There’s a book called Bankrupting the Enemy that goes into this in great detail. I am, however, skeptical that FDR deliberately allowed the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor. The decisiveness of the aircraft carrier in the Pacific Theater was only evident in retrospect. Yes, there were “carrier admirals” in both the United States and Imperial Japanese navies. But most naval leaders expected the decisive arm to be the big-gun battleship. The Japanese built the very big-gun Yamato class battleships. The United States limited itself to Iowa… Read more »

Good post, am not here to dispute the points – just spitballing what we have to accept as part of the prevailing Pearl Harbor narrative. Let’s say we go with the cui bono approach: FDR gets his war, he had been fomenting with various acts of war, supplying Britain, etc. We accept the Japanese fleet was “lost” in the fog. We accept that the U.S. got lucky and the carriers were out of the harbor. Roosevelt gets his righteous war, and the few thousand men lost are replaced a hundred-fold, and willingly.

Actually, we all seem to forget. There was already a state of war existing—Japan had formally served it upon us. It was timed to proceed the attack on Perl, but was delayed until after/during the attack. I can imagine Japan’s Washington diplomat shitting his pants as he sought a meeting with our corresponding dignitaries to deliver the declaration while the military was engaged in active combat.

Nonetheless, there was a formal state of war in existence before Congress meet the next day. What could we do at that point? Negotiate? Surrender? Ask for terms?

Might have been the untermenschen thing that turned the tide. Americans rejected Christie’s tank innovations, so Germans assumed they must suck and wouldn’t improve the Soviet tanks to the level of the Panzers. But the T-34 stopped the Panzer IVs cold, much to Guderian’s surprise.

The Sherman was reliable and fast, but lacked state of the art armor and was pathetically outgunned. The 6 – 1 losses are about what was recorded in the field, probably not known before the invasion.

It’s uncertain if a myth can be debunked. It’s a myth after all.

Churchill was complex but the debt aspect is very interesting and troubling. I remember reading a book about Churchill’s finances by an investment advisor. He said that he had never had a client as reckless with his finances as Churchill had been. It’s rather considtent with Churchill’s invasion of Turkey at Gallipoli and his utterly hare-brained idea to invade Europe through the Balkans. The biggest irony for me is that fighting Germany was a major factor in the eventual collapse of the British Empire, which Churchill wanted desperately to preserve. Yet today he’s lionized!

Remember that all politics are local. The domestic American context to WW2 were the New Deal efforts to impose socialism. There was stiff resistance and economic strife, until WW2 came along and “the wartime economy” entrenched the New Deal. Had the war been over too soon, it might have been repealed. One glance at the explosion of FedGov’s size & spending after Pearl Harbor shows how useful WW2 was to USA’s domestic tyrants.

I’ve always felt that the most revolutionary aspect in the immediate aftermath of American independence was the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, enacted under the Articles of Confederation. It established the right of new states to enter the Union as fully the equivalent of the existing states. That’s really quite an extraordinary idea–why should the existing states not want to maintain the new territories as de facto colonies, even if they allowed the inhabitants of those areas to have the rights and privileges of existing citizens of the state? The fact that the member of Congress under the Articles of Confederation… Read more »

Good point. And the dissolution of federalism is in direct proportion to the zealotry of the Left. Now liberals and Leftists have always been a bit enthusiastic, but with the advent of the New Left in the second half of the sixties, partisan conviction ramified into unhinged mania. And when minds are so thoroughly addled by ideological toxins, no picayune abstractions such as federalism are to be respected. They are to be mown down.

It wasn’t a big deal under the Articles because they required unanimous consent. If even a single State dissented, it didn’t pass. Who cares whether they are given equivalent power if they can’t force your state to do anything?

It’s really hard to sufficiently stress how disastrous was the change to majoritarianism in the Philadelphia Coup of 1787.

These critics should check out the podcasts. He’s a raging SJW. The Jim Jones podcasts (there are like 6 multi-hour episodes) start with an hour long breakdown of how Mestizos are killing blacks and ethnically cleansing them from LA. Then it moves on to how evil whites are. After that, it veers into what a hero Jim Jones was for all his SJW efforts in the 50s and 60s. This guy is a raging leftist.

I can only go by the few of his podcast episodes I listened to. I listened to I think the first 2 episodes of the Jim Jones series plus part of the 3rd and the first of the Palestine/Israel episodes. All were bursting with SJWism. Endless crying about how mean white people are/were to Jews and blacks and how even the mestizos hate the blacks for some unknown reason nobody can figure out (must be the blackness in their evil hearts). He even brought Emmett Till into them. He also brought up the “freedom riders” and the “Passive resistance” at… Read more »

Tucker’s choice of who he interviews is pretty easy. He has very typical views for an elite journalist. He is a liberal through and through. His criticisms of woke are largely liberal. His criticism of DIE is based on Mr Kang’s racial blindness standard, not a pro-White standard. What he doesn’t say is as revealing as what he does say. He also does the whole ‘we should be able to talk to each other’ routine. While I wouldn’t say Tucker is an enemy, he definitely is not on our side. It’s not like I’m asking a lot of Tucker.

Seemingly unrelated, yet, it is central to the discussion:

How in hades did “racism” become a bad thing?
To not defend one’s people, and worse, to dishonor one’s ancestors, have somehow become the highest of virtues.

I don’t believe it came from the Civil War revisionism; it came not even from WW1, when the term was crafted by Hirshfield and Trotsky.

No, anti-racism as a value came from WW2.
It carries the implied whisper: “If white people stand up for themselves, well, you know what happens…”

Long after the meal is over, the stain remains.

Am in the weird position here of being extremely open to revisionist Civil War history but not very open to revisionist World War II history. A problem for me with the “Churchill was bad, actually” idea is that I’m old enough (Gen X) to have spoken directly, at length, with a lot of (American) World War II vets, and they pretty much all thought Churchill was a hero. Maybe they were wrong, and maybe some future generation more removed from it all can make more objective judgments — I don’t know. All I know is it’s pretty hard to dissent… Read more »

“I’m sure the simplistic stories that were handed down to me are missing a lot, too. But I feel less comfortable challenging them, given my immediate experience with the participants.” Very good analysis. I tend to agree with you. Those simplistic stories are “data points” that, albeit perhaps personally biased, each have bits of truth in them. Large scale narratives in books and media may seem more complete and truthful, but in the culture of (great) lies as we now live in, have much less credibility to me as a self made narrative, put together with common sense and critical… Read more »

WWII vets were generally convinced that they were fighting for a great and just cause. The Allied Governments made sure of that, at the time and ever since. They are not likely to listen to anything that tarnishes the cause they watched a lot of companions get killed and wounded for, even if the criticism is valid up to a point.

Well, I can’t say for certain, but I gather the Finkels regard Churchill as something of a hero because he played an important role in defeating the Nazis, and in the process, sparing the Jews extermination or something close to it. Criticism of Churchill is, in their calculus, actually a thinly veiled form of antisemitism. When it comes to the Shoah, the only acceptable position is perpetual, full-throated and utter condemnation (complete with self-flagellation, if you’re white), and failure to adopt that pose enthusiastically enough puts one under a cloud of suspicion.

Daryll Cooper was presenting actual history, they are dealing with myth and religion. For example, DC implied without saying it that many of the deaths during “the holocaust” not from gas chambers, as is universally claimed, but from starvation, because the Germans had unexpecedtly imprisoned millions of Soviet troops along with the Jews, Communist, gays, Roma, and others that they had rounded up, and found that they could not feed them all. Deliberate murder by gas chamber is central to the story of WW2 and the founding of the modern world, and claiming that many of deaths were more unintentional… Read more »

No idea if Cooper mentioned it, but it is also certain that because the Allies bombed supply lines, a great deal of food and possibly medicine intended for the camps never reached them. Needless to say, that didn’t exactly work to the advantage of the inmates, and it also undercuts the notion that the Nazis murdered all those Jews. Some, yes, but certainly not all of them.

As regarding Anne Frank, such was known (her death) even when I was a child. The aspect of a camp hospital however, means little more than isolation, not treatment. When Anne was rounded up, there was little to nothing left with which to treat such epidemic diseases which spread through the camps. Isolation became a joke, and the inmates could not even be released into the population due to disease. Even the Allies kept the camps going due to disease concerns.

I’ve only had the barest taste of so-called Holocaust Denial. One interesting factoid I recall, that rings true. Those “gas chambers”? Were they delousing rooms*? Did they really put live humans in a room with gas intended to kill bugs? Sounds rather ill advised. On the other hand, I know enough of the history of hygiene to know that especially in hard times, people are going to be hairy and unwashed. Also that lice and other vermin thrive on such a host. They also are known to carry some very nasty diseases. Like the typhus that Anne Frank died of,… Read more »

Yeah, all of that. Zyklon B was apparently commonly used for delousing, and typhus was apparently common in the camps.

My current understanding guess is that 300k-2m Jews died in work/detention camps from starvation, typhus, overwork, and some murders (with guns, etc), and that the whole 6m died in gas chambers in extermination camps is a blood libel falsehood, just like the forty beheaded babies.

But who knows, I wasn’t there (and neither were all the shrieking holocaust true believers).

thanks for all the well spoken replies. i think, having read them, that the hebes see any rollback of the overall WWII narrative as an existential threat to their part of the play. not sure they have ever showed anyone (who’s helped them) gratitude or appreciation.

i think it’s telling that “The Producers”, from 1967, does not mention the holocaust even tangentially. And Brook’s comedic portrayal of Hitler and the NAZIs as dress-up loving bumblers, actually humanizes them a bit!

Brooks’ “The Producers” is very Jewish in intent/foundation. There is an old Jewish prayer of sorts, “Lord make my enemies seem foolish (or ridiculous)”. This has been a theme in many programs put on by Jew’s—like “Hogan’s Hero’s”. The Producers is *not* a comedy, it is a (post hoc) retaliatory blow against Hitler and NAZI-ism.

History, though written by the victors, is hard to tamper with. It’s like literary criticism: once a body of thought (a canon) is formed, it resists being dislodged.

What kind of a man criticizes Churchill? I’d say an isolationist, the kind who tried to tie Roosevelt’s hands politically. This sub-ideology has been out of fashion for 80 years and in an age of global hegemony, is positively dowdy.

While I wait for approval: Chamberlain was PM 1937-1940, not Churchill. Chamberlain led appeasement of the Austrian, with predictable results. [the lesson is overapplied however, see below] 1939 is no longer relevant as nukes are insurance even for small states. The bad stuff 1939-1945 did happen, it was well documented, to deny it is to look like a fool. That bad stuff will happen to US (for the same reasons, ideology and HATE HATE HATE) unless we have: our own ethnostate, large civilian ownership of weapons, nukes to back up the ethnostate.

Unimpressed by both Cooper and Tucker, grifting both. Yes, the moral authority of the elites they say rests on defeating Hitler. The rational and winning argument is that per Emilio Estevez, that was then, this is now. Nuclear weapons and demographic implosion have severe limits on even the most bloodthirsty ideologues. Egypt cannot wage a real war of elimination against Israel, nor can Iran. Israel has nukes and will use them if really pressed. Same with Putin, or the West. That’s why states have them — and their destructiveness creates constraints on leaders that did not exist in 1939. Cooper… Read more »

There was a time when I questioned whether WW2 was inevitable, whether we (USA) could have stayed out of it and millions of lives saved. The more I read, however, the more I am convinced that we didn’t have a choice – at least, not much of one. Essentially, with Hitler it was either submit (like Vichy) or fight to the death (like Russia). No third choice. Churchill, for all his flaws, realized this from an early stage. He knew that if Britain followed the Vichy path and its massive navy (along with the French and Italian navies) fell into… Read more »

This is where we differ. Did Hitler want to be world dictator?

From my reading, Hitler just wanted to bring the Germans together under one state. He invaded Poland because the Germans in Danzig were being persecuted and he loved his people. He saw his enemies as USSR/communism and the chosen.

There weren’t that many Germans in Danzig. What Hitler proposed to Poland was making a territory that was far into Poland German and then getting sovereignty over a swath of land that would have bifurcated Poland at the time. (It would have connect Danzig to Germany) When they refused such an unsustainable plan, Hitler invaded all of Poland. It’s possible to look at WWII and see a whole group of leaders drunk on the power of industrialization who cared little for humanity beyond their personal games of Risk.
