The CODOH Revisionist Forum

If one considers what I would’ve made by acting the role deniers wanted me to, I’d have profited a good bit more than $7 grand. Indeed, the very notion I “flipped” for money is certifiably insane. There’s no money in the position I’ve held since 1994 - vigorously anti-denial but also highly critical of how orgs like the ADL and Wiesenthal Center fight denial.

“Cal” sold the footage to almost every Holocaust studies department in the Western world. And then “Desmond” used Farr’s faxes (which he claimed to have bought on the Holocaust “black market”) in order to sell the “fraudulent” footage to revisionists as an example of staged Soviet fakes.

And so it went. For several years, I would sell materials to both sides. Using a complex series of DBAs, both “Cal” and “Desmond” had their own business accounts, and the money was pouring in. As my own views had become more complex when I left revisionism, I didn’t think I was completely lying, as I partially agreed with both the mainstream and the revisionist positions. But since I knew that those two “sides” could never be brought together, I realized I’d have to cater to each one individually.

Stein was becoming so well known, I even received a death threat from a neo-Nazi! Immediately seizing on the profitability of that, I decided to send a copy of the letter to the entire Tinbergen Archives mailing list, explaining to them why this letter demonstrated the need to contribute to the good works of the Tinbergen Archives. That death threat brought in a hell of a lot of money.

My Tinbergen Archives mailing list had become a hot property. [...] and I was able to trade my list for dozens of others [...] I also made some decent cash by selling the list [...]

At that point in my life, I had more money than I’d ever had [...]

(18:17) Now one of the things that I'm very very set in my -- this is something that I feel I've researched the heck out of, and that's that there was no gassing program at Auschwitz, uh, ever -- but also not in summer of '44 when the Hungarian and some Czech Jews as well were sent there in large numbers.

(19:24) However, at Birkenau, the Jewish camp, there were rooms that definitely were used for gassing. And a couple of rooms that might have been. The ones that were definitely used for gassing in 1942 -- sometimes are called "the farmhouses", "the cottages" -- they were erased. There's nothing to -- there was nothing for me to examine, or for anyone to examine, in the late '80s early '90s. As far as the bigger rooms at Birkenau -- that are called "Crema II", "Crema III", um -- again, you can't prove a negative in that context. We do have evidence that the cottages had been used for gassing in 1942 during the typhus epidemic. Now, Rudolf Höss, the commandant of that camp, the man who would eventually be relieved of duty, nearly prosecuted by the SS for misdeeds in the camp -- but he was brought back in 1944 to handle the Hungarian transports. It is entirely plausible Rudolf Höss might have gone back to his ways of killing inmates. We have multiple questions that are open, the extent to which any gassings happened after 1942 and the extent to which Höss was acting on his own or acting on orders from Berlin. But before you say anything else, I do also wanna say, putting Auschwitz aside, and those open questions aside, and the closed questions -- I mean, there really were 100% there were gassings at those cottages in 1942. We have the testimony of the camp doctor Kremer.

But the evidence that he cites was already well known by 2017! This means he was not convinced by evidence but by presentation, the same as any other H believer.

In his last few articles he makes all kinds of claims about how influential he is. Personally I've only seen his footage perhaps ~10 times on X, and that's as someone who actively seeks out Holocaust discussions. It just doesn't seem relevant to anything.
