Academic Prostitution
by Professor Revilo P. Oliver (September 1985)
Many readers of Professor Arthur Butz's incisive demolition of the Jews'
filthy Holohoax, "The Hoax of The Twentieth Century", have asked the
question that the author himself asked: "Why was it necessary for a
Professor of Electrical Engineering to do the work that should have been done by
professional historians?" In a country which has, in almost every town and
in many villages, one or more colleges or universities, each of which is adorned
with a crew of Professors of History, did no one of these thousands of learned
professionals have a sufficient respect for historical truth to investigate and
expose the arrant hoax, called the "Holocaust," that Jews use to
extort billions of dollars from Germany, the United States, Britain, and almost
every nation of the White world? Why did all of the thousands of Professors of
History, many of whom professionally concern themselves with modern history,
disgrace themselves by countenancing, and many make themselves infamous by
endorsing, a Big Lie that was in itself patently preposterous by all the laws of
historical criticism?
The question is not one that it is easy to answer and explain to persons who
have no intimate experience of the academic world. (Persons who have such
experience need no explanation.) The answer would require a long and detailed
discussion, and it would require, first of all, a refutation of the prevalent
notion that the prostitution of Clio, the Muse of History, is something the Jews
inaugurated in 1945.
The essentials of an answer can now be found in a small book by the late
Joseph McCabe, which has been reprinted by the Atheist Press in Austin, Texas,
unfortunately with many typographical errors, most of which appear to have been
systematized by a computer.
This book's title, "History's Greatest Liars", suggests that it is
an essay on the Fathers of the Church, whose assiduity in the pious work of
Lying for the Lord certainly entitles them to a championship. Those sleazy
shysters are mentioned, of course, but the author's principal subject is what he
calls the "new history," which became endemic in the academic world
after 1914 and the great deluge of official lies that were manufactured by
experts to help the corrupt governments of Britain and the United States herd
their subjects into the suicidal war of 1914-1918. It is, I think, only
reasonable to assume that such things as the work of Woodrow Wilson's disgusting
Creel Committee, which found it easy to hire American professors to lie about
Germany for a few dollars, was demoralizing to a whole generation of young
historians who had no fixed ethical principles.
Joseph McCabe examines critically books, many of them textbooks, that were
generally accepted as "authoritative" and lavishly praised by other
academic historians in the 1930s and 1940s. They are the work of about a dozen
professional historians (including Franklin Roosevelt's lackey, Professor Langer
of Harvard, on whom see "Liberty Bell", September 1981, pp. 3 ff.).
All of them are shown to be brazen liars in their "scholarly" studies
of the Dark Ages, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and early Baroque, i.e., the
history of Western civilization from the Fall of the Roman Empire to about the
end of the Sixteenth Century, where McCabe ended his analysis, although we may
be sure that the professional liars did not suddenly come to esteem truth when
they dealt with the Seventeenth and later Centuries.
This systematic lying was, of course, a swindle, first, because the authors
accepted salaries and subventions given them on the supposition they were
engaged in establishing historical truth, and, second, because the purchasers of
their books were led to believe they were buying volumes that were trustworthy
history. The authors not infrequently simply wrote falsehoods to deny facts that
had been long established by honest historical research, but their most common
technique was that of making sweeping generalizations that denied the facts by
implication, rather than specifically.
The swindles were carried out under the guise of "social history,"
i.e., consideration of the cultural, economic, and ethnic factors that were the
underlying cause of many of the events of history and at least a background to
most of them. This is a legitimate branch of history, but, I need not say, one
readily and, in our time, usually contaminated by the Marxian superstition, one
of the Jews' principal weapons in their offensive against our civilization and
race. This taint, more or less artfully dissimulated, appears in the works that
McCabe criticizes, but he limits himself to the scholarly prostitutes' lies on
behalf of the religion that the Jews exported to the goyim,
Christianity.
Although the facts are available in published sources, and many of them were
stated in histories written by great and honest historians from Gibbon through
the Nineteenth Century, the professorial practitioners of deceit exert
themselves to muddy the water, obfuscate the record, and cover up, by
sophistries and denials, the corruption and disasters by which the Christian
superstition afflicted the whole of our civilization ever since it became
epidemic. It is no apology for that mind-befuddling bane of our race that other
prevalent superstitions, chiefly among other races, have been deleterious to
their victims. It is an incontrovertible fact that Christianity, not in its
verbiage, much of which its votaries simply ignore, but in its practice by the
dervishes and witch-doctors who carried on the deceptions of the Fathers of the
Church, was, in its effects, a moral decline from what those Fathers, by a
typical verbal imposture, called "paganism," including both the
established religions of the Graeco-Roman world and the cults of the Norse gods
that prevailed among our own ancestors before they invaded the Roman Empire and
were overawed by the very ruins that had survived the Christians.
Given the period that McCabe covers in his critique, most of the
falsification with which the pseudo-historians try to whitewash Christianity
deals with the Roman Catholic Church, which tried to maintain a monopoly of the
lucrative racket. The falsifiers suppress the shocking record of virtually all
of the popes and the clergy, many of whom were really thugs, and of the monastic
orders, which were generally dens of male sexual perversion and female
perversion and prostitution, all sicklied o'er with nauseating hypocrisy. Some
of the reputed (NOT reputable) historians actually repeat such notorious
fabrications as the lie about the humiliation of the Emperor Henry IV at Canossa,
told in a priestly forgery, which serves Wilhelm Kammeier as a point of
departure in "Die Falschung der deutschen Geschichte" (Leipzig, 1935;
reprinted)
Husum, 1979; an English translation has been made and awaits a publisher).
Since the writers of these historical falsifications appear to be authorities
because they are not denounced by their influential colleagues in the
universities, that foolish tale is reported as fact in, e.g., the very useful
"Columbia Encyclopedia", whence it has doubtless passed into
innumerable references by honest writers who mention the supposed event at
Canossa in passing and who have innocently relied on what is generally an
accurate work of reference.
For cardinal points in the falsification of the history of the Catholic
Church, see McCabe's book. He barely touches on another grandiose imposture by
pseudo-historians fashionable today, their flagrant misrepresentation of the
facts of the Renaissance and Humanism, about which one could write at great
length. The purpose of that falsification was well stated by H. W. Eppelsheimer
in his essay, "Das Renaissance-Problem". He describes the work of
Thode, Neumann, Burdach, and other supposed "authorities" as a
Neoromantic reaction against a rationalistic historiography, a sophistical
attempt to Christianize and irrationalize the facts, and thus exalt religion and
mysticism above common sense and reason itself.
The pseudo-historians whom McCabe mentions, and their many successors active
today, cannot be acquitted on the ground of ignorance; they obviously esteem
intellectual integrity less than the favor of the professional salvation-mongers
and the profit to be made from writing that conforms to the intensive effort now
being made in all domains of science and scholarship to destroy reliance on
reason and objective facts and to enslave the human mind to debasing
superstitions. A very few of those "scholars" may, perhaps, have been
influenced by the now disproven and obsolete notion that Christianity could be
used to promote the stability of a civilized society after scientific research
and historical scholarship have proved, beyond peradventure of doubt, that the
creed is, at every point, a denial of ascertained facts.
My point here is only that the disgraceful conduct of our academic historians
long antedates the Jews' Holohoax, which imposed no strain on the morality of
"scholars" long accustomed to use as their criterion of historical
truth the inquiry, "Is there a buck in it for us, Charlie?"
I must note, however, a nice irony which proves how much we all are at the
mercy of organized lying. Mr. McCabe, who died in 1955, seems to have finished
the present work around 1945. (It was first published in England, but I have not
been able to ascertain the date; internal evidence shows only that it was after
1944.) And so, despite his own critical faculties, he was taken in by the
unanimity of the Jews' hired liars and referred, in passing, to Adolf Hitler as
a "homicidal maniac and sadist," although even then he was fair enough
to add that the supposed conduct occurred during a prolonged and bitter war.
McCabe was commenting on an intellectual whore's attempt to palliate the
massacre on St. Bartholomew's day, 1572, which, of course, was carried out by
the foulest treachery in a time of peace, and was, to be sure only a normal
exercise of the normal Christian urge to enforce righteousness.
