My general rule of thumb is that if the "powers that be" are saying something is so - it isn't...
So I guess you have to label me a "holocaust denier" because I do not buy the 6 million figure nor do I buy the "gas chambers" story (of course the "soap" and "lampshades" BS was discredited long ago). These things make great propaganda though to get everyone to march lock-step into numerous wars and to vote for more over-seas expenditures...
If I read in the most prestigious source that "the sky is blue" I will have to go out and look for myself before I believe it.
