Holocaust denial in Rothbard-Rockwell circles 🧵

Hoppe

Gary North

Paul Craig Roberts, published by Lew Rockwell...

Rothbard.

muse.jhu.edu/article/804147… "The Pre-History of American Holocaust Denial"
(the appalling WWII "revisionism" of Rothbard and his followers would deserve a thread of its own)

mises.org/library/revisi…
Notice the only mention of "holocaust" is about something the US could do. Not something Nazi Germany did 🙄 (again, the WWII revisionism here is awful on its own). Holocaust, Hungerplan, etc are mere "domestic programs", if not denied entirely.

The same from Rothbard's followers should therefore not come as a surprise:

Reminder:

Of course they would also deny Putin doing anything wrong: lewrockwell.com/2022/04/lew-ro… in fact, for e.g. Paul Craig Roberts and Walter Block, Putin is *too soft*, if anything. it's the classic "didn't but should have".

For instance:
notice that Ukraine is not even a "side" that could" lose there.paulcraigroberts.org/2022/09/14/has… ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/neoco… (Daniel McAdams, another one...)

Srebrenica? Yes, that too.

🤔

"swift Russian victory over the entirety of Ukraine" reminder of the implications: Russia has a history of genocide...

... and had plans for more, had it been allowed to conquer all of Ukraine...

... not to mention evidence from the parts of Ukraine it did occupy.

... no genocide in China, either, if GrayZone says so 🤷...

What, then, would be an actual genocide for them?
Ah yes: immigration and covid vaccines.

Well, at least they admit that "genocide is unethical". That's something I guess.

See also this thread (LPMC being a direct product of those same Rothbard-Rockwell circles):

Tracey, Johnstone, as well as Grayzone have all been published on Rockwell's website before

Ah, Hoppe's and Roberts' dear Irving again.

Chomsky ♻️ Horton ♻️ Tracey

Chomsky, what a reference. 🤦‍♀️ He made a similar type of claim about Kosovo, btw. The usual pattern of blaming anyone (ideally, of course, the US!) but those actually responsible.

Same pattern in all these cases...

John Laughland? Ah yes, Ron Paul Institute Academic Board member

Raimondo on the Tiananmen massacre, er, "massacre": "The Truth About Tiananmen Square"
lewrockwell.com/2009/06/justin…

Rockwell also publishes Caitlin Johnstone:

... who summarizes here the flawed worldview at the root of all this genocide denial/enabling:

... which also explains all the failed predictions:

Likewise, Raimondo again, drawing the logical conclusion from it:
