Why do those who know deny the obvious?

Everybody knows that Elvis Presley is dead but some people deny it. Everybody knows that the Earth is a sphere but some people deny it. Everybody knows that the Twin Towers were brought down by terrorists but some people deny it. Everybody knows that Israel was kicked out of Gaza by Palestinian freedom fighters but most Jews deny it. Everybody knows that the Holocaust happened but some people deny it. Why? Why do people deny the obvious?

There are many reasons why people deny something that would cost them little or nothing if they'll just admit that it happened, and see that they are left alone. But that's precisely the crucial point in this discussion: “be left alone.” If these people were left alone whether or not they denied the obvious, they would not deny it. But if you force them to admit to something that's of little interest to them or of great interest or of no interest at all, they'll be inclined to deny it. This is human nature.

One of the events that seems to leave no one alone these days is the Holocaust. The fact that someone can get into trouble for denying it or questioning an aspect of it, no matter how trivial it may be –– makes some people want to deny it, and enjoy watching you squirm as you try to convince them they are wrong. Whereas these people are not serious in their denial but doing it to “pull your legs,” other people are serious in their denial of it because much rides on what they are asked or compelled to affirm.

This represents a conundrum for the Jews, and you'll get a sense of how massive it is for them when you go over the article that came under the title: “For Auschwitz liberation's 75th anniversary, fight Holocaust denial with education,” written by Beth Bailey and published on January 27, 2020 in The Washington Examiner.

Of the many points that were made by the writer in her article, two points [referred to below as (a) and (b)] hit the readers in the face as being more illogical than the others:

(a)        Beth Bailey's first point is represented by the complaint she made about those who “participate in revising the past for motives, which, though not anti-Semitic, harm Jews.” What she means by that, is one of two things. Either

(a-1) she says that the final version of the Holocaust history has been written, and no revision should be allowed; or

(a-2) she says that only the Jews can revise the Holocaust history.

Well then, in the case of (a-1) Bailey shoots down her own assertion a few paragraphs later when she says this: “Additional Holocaust evidence is still being uncovered today.” This being the case, the history of the Holocaust must be revised to take into account the additional evidence that keeps surfacing every day, something she admits herself.

In fact, it is the nature of history that it remains open for revision and reinterpretation till such time that it is absolutely certain everything that's there has been discovered. However, since logic dictates that we don't know what we don't know, we can never be sure we discovered everything that's there. Therefore, this requires that history remain open for revision and reinterpretation forever.

In the case of (a-2) Beth Bailey seems to say that only the Jews can revise or reinterpret the history of the Holocaust. First of all, it is not up to the Jews to make that decision. But if for some screwy reason, it is so decided by everybody, the consequence will have to be that the Holocaust must remain the exclusive purview of the Jews in every sense of the word. Well then, what does that mean? It means that the Holocaust shall be mentioned only in Jewish circles. It must never be acknowledged or referred to in non-Jewish circles of any kind, especially the mass media.

(b)        As to Beth Bailey's second point, it is the illogical complaint she voiced, which goes like this: “Traditional deniers blame Jews for the Holocaust.” Did you catch that, my friend? How could someone write a sentence like that without being alarmed and instantly hitting the delete button … Unless, of course, she was inhaling the wrong kind of fumes?

Look how this woman has mutilated logic: If someone blames the Jews for the Holocaust, it is that they are affirming it, not denying it. But if these people are affirming the Holocaust and Beth Bailey is calling them: “traditional deniers,” something must have been going screwy inside her head when she typed these words. And we are left to ask the question: What was she consuming to have been so distracted?

Because the Holocaust is playing a big part in the Jewish scheme of things these days, leaving it to them without push-back is the worst thing to do.

For this reason, everybody must speak up, and do their part to straighten these people out. It is either that or the holocaust will repeat itself again and again in one form or another.
