4 - Sunday, October 16, 1994 — North Shore News Confessions of a modern hereti THE SUBJECT is heresy and heretics, because it seems that I am one. 1am in good company. One of the greatest heretics was William Tyndale, who first put the Bible into English. The Roman Catholic Church objected because it thought it would be dangerous for the “une- ducated™ to be able to read it. Tyndale was burned at the stake. Then there was Galileo. Having studied Copernicus he knew that the Earth revolved around the sun. And said so. The Church thought otherwise, and Galileo was told to recant. He refused. Then they showed him the torture chamber and he changed his mind. I would have done the same. -You bet. But Galileo still knew that the Earth went round the sun. And now we do, tov. More recently there was the case of Malcolm Muggeridge, top British writer, journalist and wit, now deceased. In 1953 Muggeridge wrote a piece called Royal Soap Opera for an American magazine. It ridiculed the reverence in which the Royals were held and all hel! broke loose. (He was in advance of his time, as you may have noticed.) Muggeridge’s name was mud. Cowards libelled him. No one would use him and he was forced to flee to Australia for a while. But in the end he was rehabili- tated, “Tam a nonentity but I do have a doctorate in political incorrectness.

Still, it is with some timidity that I mention myself in the same breath us Muggcridge and the great heretics. They were captains. Lam arear- | rank foot soldier. My main heresy is “the holo- caust.” t do not believe the six mil- lion figure, although ! used to. Nor do I believe in the gas chamber stuff, How can I know about such things when the Popes of the New Establishment know otherwise? I don’t “know” anything, but have read the revisionist literature and come to certain conclusions. My media critics, on the other - Jahon, people like you make eh dal vworidaohilel 4: a ; hand, have not read any of it. They just go on repeating the Orthadox Version, And that's safe. Discussion is not on. Discussion is “denial” and therefore heresy. Don't they get the truth daily on TV? The literature is impressive. It includes Professor Butz’s The Hoax of the Twentieth Century, the writings of Professor Robert Faurisson of France, those of former French Resistance leader and concentration camp inmate Paul Rassinier, and judge Wilhelm Staeglich’s Auschwitz. Plus the work of arch-heretic David Irving. Although the smell of burning Nesh does not attend today’s heretics, jail can await them. If they have teaching jobs they will lose them. That's why no Canadian aca- demic wants to blot his copybook. Academic freedom has its limits. Ifa person is a top threat to orthodoxy, like Irving, Jewish pres- sure will get him barred from South Africa, Australia and Germany. It will also get him arrested while making a specch in Victoria and deported from liberty-loving Canada on the pretext of his having broken the immigration laws. This even though immigrant rapists and murderers float freely around this country and an apolo- gist for terrorism like Sinn Feiner Gerry Adams can make speeches here.

The least he can expect is that a contemptible sheet like the Province will publish a crude car- toon on him reminiscent of the stuff in the Nazi newspaper Der Stuermer.

No, they're not yet buming people at the stake, But when they do they'll need a lot of wood because a Province phone poll showed that 50% of their hundreds of respondents agreed with me. Amazing.
