Who's Profiting From the Holocaust?
What???
The Reader up for lots of Oscars, including best film, best director and best leading actress!
Right: Why don't they just go the whole hog and have a special Oscar for Best-Holocaust-Promotional Film?
Kate Winslett widely tipped as a front-runner for her first ever Oscar!
It seems making Holocaust films really does pay off!
Yet again we have to wonder if Kate Winslett's character in the BBC series 'Extras' was prophetic when she said if you make a holocaust film you are guaranteed an Oscar!
But, dear much-maligned and over-worked reader, let us step back for a moment and address the bigger issues.
Ready? Cup of tea and a biccie to hand?
OK, let's do it:
Scenario 1:
The Holocaust happened and 6 million Jews dies in German gas chambers.
If you believe in the Holocaust as presented by Hollywood, officially sanctioned (some say 'court') historians, the Zionist lobby and Israel then why is it acceptable for so many people to gilt-edge their careers by making holocaust materials?
I believe this is roughly the line taken by Norman Finkelstein in his book The Holocaust Industry wherein he outlines the millions/billions made by Israel and creamed-off by professional hucksters.
Finkelstein states that much of the money raised (coerced, threatened, bullied) from government, industry, banks as well as via Hollywood and other professional Holocaust profiteers doesn't even find its way to the Jewish families who did lose relatives in the war.
Remember we are not talking about the Millions - always a capital M! - of Russians, Poles or Germans murdered, killed, displaced (the latter included the many millions as Russia, the Ukraine, Poland, Germany etc. were moved westwards by a Communist Terror State) and dare I mention the countless Poles killed in 1939/40 and in 1944/45 onwards by the Bolshevik murder machine, fearful of a resurgent/nationalist Poland? The murdered included many of the Polish resistance and army that fought the Germans in occupied Poland.
There has never been reparations for those killed or dispossessed of land and property in 1944/45, something bizarre when you think we were told we were going to war for Poland, only to see Poland delivered into slavery and oppression. This lack of interest in their plight must bemuse and annoy Poles.
So it strikes me that if you believe that 6 Million Jews died in WW2 in gas chambers (regardless of the others Killed by Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia or even by the RAF/USAAF terror raids) it must make you stop and think that so many people are profiting from a people's misery.
Furthermore, if the Holocaust is constantly promoted in films and awarded in ceremonies, mentioned in parliaments, debating it banned in some countries, used to excuse Israeli excesses and so on: it adds fuel to the fire because it gives "anti-semites" the 'proof' they need to show there is some kind of 'conspiracy' involving governments, the media, Hollywood etc.
There is also an addendum here. Even if you are Jewish, Communist, banker or committed war veteran: you have to wonder why the actions of Germany in WW2 are used to excuse actions against Arabs in and around Palestine who played no role at all in 'the Holocaust.'
Scenario 2:
The Holocaust didn't happen and there were no German gas chambers.
Then what needs to be said?
We have a huge machine constantly pushing the holyhoax whilst consistently ignoring the suffering of other peoples (allies or axis). We have a machinery which seeks to make as much money and garner as many awards as possible to ensure the 'holyhoax' remains the 'suffering par excellence' - to put other massacres and atrocities in the shade (even wiping out nations, like Armenia, or the organised murder of 30 million plus, like the Ukraine).
It is a machine which, perversely, is used to give a backdrop and hence a green light to Israeli illegality (WMDs and bombing other countries), ethnic cleansing, torture, concentration camps and massacres committed against civilians.
Quite what the Arabs must feel to see their dead men, women and children "excused" by the actions or non-actions of Europeans 60 years ago, and if you are a Palestinian who believes the Holocaust is a huge hoax, how much more embittered would you be?
The idea that there is this huge machine used to make billions, used to excuse Israel and its excesses, and milked for all it is worth by historians, actors, directors, politicians, charities and more is sickening.
It really is 'the holocaust industry' in every sense and despite everything else going on in the world, the industrialists involved in this con, this hidden tax, have no intention of letting up the pressure.
Conclusion:
Whichever side of the debate you find yourself on, Kate Winslett's Oscar nomination stinks. Actors and actresses are milking past events (one in particular) to get tacky awards and bolster their careers.
As time goes by the overt promotion of the holocaust, especially when there is other suffering in the world (and particularly when it is used to excuse that suffering!) will make people either holocaust-weary, or start to question why this one single event should over-ride all others involving the mass murder of Christians, Muslims, Slavs, Arabs, Africans etc.
It might even begin to smack of some kind of inverted 'racism' wherein the suffering of others before, during and after WW2 is deemed of negligible importance.
Perhaps if Kate Winslett's awards hasten that day then they may be no bad thing!
