livingbygrace 295 Posted February 21 4 hours ago, Youth in Asia said: I wasn't defending him (obviously) I just can't remember what his argument was (although it seems I also contributed to this thread 18 years ago!) Edit: from his Wikipedia article he seems to be a massive Fanboy of Hitler, from childhood, rather than specifically interested in the Jewish question (except to argue Hitler had no knowledge of it and other members of Nazi leadership were responsible). His leading role in exposing the 1983 Hitler diaries as fake is also something I wasn't aware of. Hitler had no knowledge of it? That is one of the biggest lies I think I have ever heard. This solo statement in itself tells you 100% why Irving was a monster in his own right spreading these lies, and you can understand why people disliked him as well.I read once of someone who survived a camp who said they saw Hitler there visiting. He heard Hitler give an evil laugh asking how things were going. Basically how the genocide was going. I wonder even though the reports turned out to be untrue that the man is dead, maybe there is still a little grain of truth that his day is close at hand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evil Grimace 359 Posted July 23 Around the time in February when the death hoax happened, followed by an update on this health (two months in hospital, home with round the clock care), a new X/Twitter account (https://x.com/irving_books) was created in early February. For those of you who don't want to click the link, here's a summary of relevant posts from the past 6 months. 6 Feb - post stating the two months in hospital and care 7 Feb - video, clearly pre-health issues, but compared to later posts, shows weight loss has occurred 21 Feb - post discrediting death rumours 25 Feb - post with photo that's stated to be from April 2023; visible decline from 7 Feb video 2 March - video where he is seated, speaks and thanks people for well wishes and support; voice is weak 14 March - video where he's standing and signing a book; hand is steady while writing, if slow and deliberate 12 July - photo - seated and signing book; arm looks visibly thin in short sleeves (other pictures or videos have long sleeves), but hard to compare 13 July - post saying 'praying for President Trump' -- He's clearly declined, but the information above gives no clue on what happened or what care he needs. This new account will make it easy to keep updated on him however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
