Canada, and the US Ballistic Missile Defence ProgramOleg Nekrassovski
1) Canada faces a contradiction in its defense policy objectives of participating in US-led continental defense programs while also maintaining global military stability and preventing arms races.

What can we, and by we I mean young scientists, do (in addition to what senior scientist are already doing) to help facilitate this engagement?To answer these two questions, the paper benches out into three sections, embarking on three main concepts: 1) the challenges and interplays between politicians and scientists’ communication during the process of transforming the evidence based-scientific knowledge into applicable policies that have tangible impact on the laymen’s lives; 2) the modes and functions of leadership in the science policy-making process and interaction between the two bodies: scientists and politicians; and 3), the paper will be concluded with highlight of some of the areas that both decision makers and scientists need to invest more ways and means in order to leverage tangible solution to cross-cutting societal challenges though science diplomacy.
Pengantar Hukum Internasional - UN Charter and ASEAN CharterMariske Myeke Tampi
The Charter of the United Nations was established in 1945 with the purposes of maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations, achieving international cooperation, and being a center for harmonizing actions to attain common goals like human rights. The ASEAN Charter established the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in 1967 with the purposes of promoting regional resilience through cooperation, ensuring Southeast Asia remains nuclear weapon-free, and creating an integrated economy and community. Both charters outline their principles including sovereignty, territorial integrity, peaceful dispute settlement, and adherence to international law.

The document proposes a charter for a transnational nation-state community that would exist among existing nation states and be governed by international human rights laws and treaties. It asserts that as the majority of UN member states have ratified these treaties, they would apply to the transnational community as well. The community would handle internal affairs but be subject to oversight by the International Court of Justice and International Criminal Court to ensure respect for due process and human rights. Signing the charter would declare independence for the transnational nation while still abiding by international law.

This document provides background on the historiography of Treblinka and outlines the key debates regarding whether it functioned as an extermination camp or a transit camp. According to official history, 700,000-3,000,000 Jews were gassed at Treblinka between 1942-1943. However, revisionist historians argue this narrative is untenable given a lack of documentation and the technical feasibility of mass gassings and cremations. The document examines different perspectives on Treblinka and sets up an analysis of the camp's likely function in later chapters.
The leuchter-reports-critical-edition-fred-leuchter-robert-faurisson-germar-r...RareBooksnRecords
This document contains the first of four technical reports authored by Fred Leuchter between 1988-1991 regarding the alleged homicidal gas chambers at Nazi camps. The First Leuchter Report provides an engineering analysis of the facilities at Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Majdanek and concludes there were no execution gas chambers at those locations based on forensic evidence. It is accompanied by introductions, critical remarks addressing the report's claims, and supporting documents. The subsequent Leuchter Reports examine other camps and critique a book supporting the gas chamber narrative. This edition aims to make the reports accessible again while addressing their claims through additional commentary.
The hoax-of-the-twentieth-century-the-case-against-the-presumed-extermination...RareBooksnRecords
This document provides an introduction and summary of Arthur R. Butz's book "The Hoax of the Twentieth Century". The book argues that the presumed extermination of European Jews during World War II has not been proven and may be a hoax. Butz, a professor of electrical engineering, conducted a detailed analysis of Holocaust claims and evidence. Over 500 pages, he examines testimony from war crimes trials, demographic data, and technical aspects of the alleged gas chambers. Butz concludes that no solid evidence exists to confirm Nazi plans to exterminate Jews, and questions key pillars of the Holocaust narrative. The book caused major controversy upon publication for challenging mainstream views on the Holocaust.

This document is a book review that critiques Raul Hilberg's seminal work "The Destruction of the European Jews". The review finds that while much of Hilberg's work rests on reliable sources, its title of "Destruction" is inaccurate and should have been "The Persecution of the European Jews". Additionally, the review notes inconsistencies in eyewitness testimony and a lack of documentation of an overarching Nazi policy of annihilation. The review aims to provide a reliable account of how the Holocaust allegedly occurred while also revealing the questionable evidence underlying the accepted narrative.

This document provides a summary of a book titled "The Gas Vans: A Critical Investigation" by Santiago Alvarez with contributions from Pierre Marais. The book examines claims that Nazis used mobile gas chambers mounted on trucks to murder victims. It scrutinizes all known wartime documents, photos, and witness statements on this topic from over 30 trials. The result of the research is described as "mind-boggling." The book asks whether witness statements are reliable, documents are genuine, the claimed vehicles could have operated as described, and where physical evidence of victims and vehicles might be. It aims to get to the truth of the gas van claims through a critical analysis of all available evidence and testimony.

This document provides an overview and summary of a book titled "The Gas Vans: A Critical Investigation" by Santiago Alvarez with contributions from Pierre Marais. The book examines claims that Nazis used mobile gas vans to exterminate victims during the Holocaust. It scrutinizes wartime documents, photos, witness statements from over 30 trials. The book asks whether evidence is reliable, documents genuine, and whether claimed operations could actually occur as described. It finds major issues with evidence that gas vans were used as mobile gas chambers to systematically murder people.

This document provides an analysis and refutation of claims made by bloggers on the "Holocaust Controversies" blog regarding the "Aktion Reinhardt" camps - Bełzec, Sobibor and Treblinka. It is presented in two parts. Part one introduces the authors and their perspective, examines sources used by opponents to claim mass killings occurred at these camps, and outlines the propaganda origins of the "extermination camps" narrative. It questions official versions of events and Nazi policy. Part two will continue examining evidence for gas chambers and alleged mass killings through archeological evidence, witness testimony and evaluation of claims made by opponents. The authors aim to show flaws in arguments claiming mass killings took place.

The bunkers-of-auschwitz-black-propaganda-versus-history-carlo-mattognoRareBooksnRecords
This document examines the alleged homicidal gas chambers known as the "Bunkers" at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. It argues that the story of the Bunkers originated from wartime rumors within the camp that were later transformed into propaganda by resistance groups. Historians then uncritically accepted witness testimony as fact. A thorough examination of tens of thousands of documents from the Auschwitz construction office finds no evidence that the Bunkers ever existed, contradicting their portrayal in historical accounts. The document aims to fill gaps in the official historiography by analyzing archival documents, construction reports, maps, and logistical considerations regarding the alleged Bunkers.
Special treatment-in-auschwitz-origin-and-meaning-of-a-term-carlo-mattognoRareBooksnRecords
This document provides an introduction and background to the study of the term "special treatment" as it was used in documents related to the Auschwitz concentration camp. It discusses how the term has traditionally been interpreted by historians as being a code word referring to the killing of inmates. However, the author argues that the term had a variety of meanings depending on the context, and was not always a reference to killing. The document outlines how the author will analyze original documents to understand the actual meaning of "special treatment" and related terms, rather than relying on predetermined assumptions. It aims to show that "special treatment" was a normal bureaucratic concept rather than a code word for murder.
This document provides a summary of a book that critically analyzes claims about the Sobibor camp. It questions the mainstream historiography of Sobibor and argues that evidence does not support the claim that it was an extermination camp where 170,000-250,000 Jews were gassed and buried in mass graves. The book examines eyewitness testimony, documents, archeological evidence, and material evidence like fuel requirements for mass cremations. It concludes that Sobibor was likely a transit camp where Jews were temporarily housed before being deported east, challenging the notion that it was a site of industrialized mass murder.
This document is a book that presents lectures on controversial issues related to the Holocaust. It aims to introduce readers to Holocaust revisionist arguments and counterarguments in an accessible dialogue format. Over 500 pages, it examines topics such as Holocaust propaganda, missing Jews, survivor testimonies, documentary evidence from camps like Auschwitz, and censorship of revisionist ideas. The editor's preface discusses why Holocaust revisionism remains an important subject that powerful groups seek to suppress.
The document discusses Jewish emigration from Germany in the 1930s. It makes three key points:
1) Jewish emigration was welcomed and supported by German authorities as a way to remove Jews from Germany, partly in response to declarations of war against Germany by Zionist groups.
2) Emigration occurred through a lawful, regulated process with cooperation between German and Jewish authorities, not as a clandestine flight as sometimes portrayed. Jews received help and advice from both sides.
3) Many German Jews originally felt integrated into German culture and society. Jewish organizations had a variety of political stances, but some, like the Union of National German Jews, strongly identified as Germans rather than seeing themselves as a separate ethnic group
This document is Germar Rudolf's address to the Mannheim District Court from November 15, 2006 to January 29, 2007. It discusses Rudolf's peaceful resistance against what he sees as an unjust prosecution for his scientific work questioning aspects of the Holocaust narrative. The document covers scientific, judicial, and legal considerations and argues that resistance against an oppressive state is obligatory. It includes appendices with expert assessments supporting Rudolf's work, documentation of the court proceedings, and illustrations.
This document provides an overview of the historiography surrounding Stutthof concentration camp. It summarizes that Polish historians claim Stutthof became a makeshift extermination camp in 1944, gassing many Jewish inmates. However, some Western historians who acknowledge the Holocaust make no claim of extermination at Stutthof. The document aims to investigate the claims of gassing and function of Stutthof through analysis of original documents from Polish and other archives.
This document provides an introduction and overview of the concentration camp at Majdanek in Poland. It discusses how Majdanek has been portrayed in official Western historiography, Polish historiography, and revisionist literature. Official Western sources claim Majdanek served as both a labor and extermination camp, where Jews were gassed upon arrival if deemed unfit for work. However, Western historiography has largely neglected detailed study of Majdanek. Polish sources also claim mass murder occurred at Majdanek through gassing and other means. Revisionist literature disputes claims of mass extermination and argues the camp functioned primarily as a labor camp. The document aims to provide an objective, evidence-based study of Majdanek through analysis
The document discusses the origins and development of claims about the methods of murder allegedly used at the Belzec extermination camp. It notes that early accounts described fantastical methods like toxic fluids, mobile gas chambers, steam chambers, and vacuum chambers. Over time, the stories evolved to describe diesel gas chambers. The number of alleged victims also increased dramatically over time, from 600,000 to up to 3 million. Witness accounts of other camps like Sobibor and Treblinka also described implausible methods using chlorine gas, sliding floors, and outdoor furnaces. This narrative evolution reveals the unreliable nature of the sources and suggests the need for a critical analysis of how the historical understanding of Belzec developed.
Mainstream historians claim that the very first gassing of human beings at Auschwitz occurred on September 3, 1941 in the basement of Block 11. However, Carlo Mattogno's analysis of sources finds the accounts of this event to be contradictory and confusing regarding key details like the date, victims, and method. Mattogno argues there is no clear historical evidence that it took place as described.
This document provides an analysis and critique of two previous works on the gas chambers and crematoria at Auschwitz: Jean-Claude Pressac's "Criminal Traces" and Robert Jan van Pelt's "Convergence of Evidence". The author Carlo Mattogno examines Pressac and van Pelt's arguments and evidence regarding the alleged homicidal gas chambers and cremation of bodies at Auschwitz. Mattogno analyzes technical documents and plans related to the crematoria and questions Pressac and van Pelt's interpretations. The document is divided into two volumes, with the first volume focusing on Pressac's "Criminal Traces" and the second planned to analyze witness testimonies
This document provides an introduction and summary of the book "Auschwitz: Plain Facts" which aims to critique the works of Jean-Claude Pressac on the Auschwitz concentration camp. It summarizes that Pressac attempted to refute Holocaust revisionists using technical documents but failed to do so as he violated scientific principles by making claims he could not prove and contradicted facts. The book aims to rebut Pressac's works through a detailed critique by leading revisionist scholars and argues Pressac revealed a technical incompetence such that his works belong in the category of novels rather than history. It positions the book as a must-read for those wanting to argue against the lies and half-truths of established Holocaust historiography
