 Dear Friends,
HAPPY NEW YEAR! As we begin our journey into 2007 we find ourselves living in a nation that is deeply buried in fantasy, make-believe, deliberate self-deception, outright denial. However,"'hose of us who have been given "eyes to see" and "ears to hear" should praise and thank Almighty God for the blessed privilege of being able to understand many things (even if in some cases only "through a glass darkly") that the overwhelming percentage of our 300,000,000 fellow-Americans are totally unaware of - or deliberately choose to ignore.
This condition, however, is far from being unique. History is replete with examples of past civilizations whose citizens behaved in a similar manner and whose nations came to an unseemly end. Humans have an unfortunate proclivity to ignore the clearest of warning signals and dangerous trends. They usually opt to travel along a path that is "familiar" - one in which they feel "comfortable" despite the dangers with which they are surrounded. Acknowledging reality and making decisions that go against the dominant beliefs and convictions of those we love and respect can be a traumatic experience. "After all, what would people think?" As a result, most choose to turn a "blind eye" to the way things really are. They continue to exist in what they perceive to be the "comfort" of the own their dream world, even if it is empty and unfulfilling.
I personally recognize that were it not for this manifold grace of God I would definitely be "tearing my hair out" in anguish and frustration at what is happening in and to America. The things I gradually began to see and understand in the mid-1950s - and which began to accelerate some 10 years later - have helped me keep on a relatively even course. The information developed over the years and presented in Fourth Reich of the Rich, Descent Into Slavery?, Storming the Gates of Hell, and God's Chosen People has stood the test of time. There are clear and understandable reasons and explanations for what is happening to us as individuals and as a nation - politically, socially, economically, and, above all, spiritually. Without this knowledge and understanding, the whole world scenario collapses into a hellish mess. It is one without rliyme or reason, one without purpose or redemption. However, with the blessed combination of knowledge and understanding, the world in which we live becomes a "whole new place." It becomes one that makes thorough sense when viewed from every point of the compass. Foundationally, this knowledge and understanding is spiritual in nature, and all of us who have been given spiritual eyes to see and spiritual ears to hear, can truly declarer "Amazing Grace how sweet the sound. That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see."
CRITICISM IS HELPFUL
In the course of a year I receive quite a few letters from people who have read one or more of my books and who wish to express their opinions on the contents thereof. Thankfully, most of the letters are complimentary. They express gratitude for having been made aware of the material contained in them. Such letters are appreciated. However, over the years I have frequently found that letters containing criticism are also helpful and educational. These serve to sharpen my focus and frequently help me develop broader and deeper insights into a variety of subjects. This I find extremely beneficial. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, we must all learn to seek the truth, "now, always, that to the very end."
I thought that reviewing and commenting on a few of these letters might prove useful and thought-provoking to you. Their contents may perhaps give you some more food for thought. I believe it is situations such as this that help us grow in knowledge and understanding of any topic. Remember, "iron sharpens iron" (Proverbs 27:17).
 Recently, I received a number of letters calling into questions my views on the Jewish question. A rabbi who lives in Minnesota commented on the copy of my book Anti-Semitism and the Babylonian Connection someone had placed on his doorstep. After briefly reviewing my book, the rabbi wrote accusing me of being "deeply angry and upset." Rejecting the contents of the book out of hand, he declared that we "ought to be careful not to let our anger turn into uncontrollable rage."
I immediately replied, asking the rabbi to please point out even a single passage in Anti-Semitism and the Babylonian Connection that was false or could be even remotely described in that manner.
Months have elapsed, but my request has never been honored. Despite his glandular reaction to my book apparently the rabbi is unable to find even one passage that can honestly be described in the manner stated in his letter. Question: Why then did he charge that I was "deeply angry and upset" and possibly headed for a fit of "uncontrollable rage"? Was this in fact an effort to harass, coerce or intimidate me into stop writing on a subject of such vital importance? As he never supplied any documentation to support his false charges, the writer apparently has no interest in acknowledging any of the truths clearly documented in my book. He wants to cover up the truth. Hence the smear.
He is not interested in disproving what I wrote (which is impossible, since I quote only primary sources), but rather in smearing my name and reputation with false charges.
DAVID IRVING
 About 9 months ago, yet another letter arrived - this time from Leroy, New York. The writer, a man named Tim, declared, "How can you have so little conscience as to sell anti-Semitic trash.... You should be ashamed of yourself to sell (such) anti-Semitic swill.... (It's) pretty sick if you ask me." Tim also declared that I should be "ashamed of (my)self" for helping "sell the anti-Semitic swill of David Irving (who says) that an actual piece of history like the Holocaust didn't happen."
Correction. David Irving has never said in any of his books or speeches (available on video or DVD) that the Holocaust didn't happen. After many years of in-depth research Irving questions many aspects of the "Holocaust" story. He demands a lot more evidence.
In my reply, I told Tim that "I, personally, seek only documented evidence on any subject I am investigating. This is particularly true of the Holocaust story in which 'six million Jews' allegedly perished.... If there is solid, documented and undeniable documentary evidence that 'six million' were in fact gassed and then incinerated by the Nazis during World War II, why, for example, was there no mention of this 'fact' in any of the personal histories of World War II written by such men as Winston Churchill, George Patton, and Dwight D. Eisenhower (or in reports issued by the Red Cross)? After all, the above-mentioned individuals (plus the Red Cross) were on the front lines in the conquest of Nazi Germany. Would they ... deliberately and maliciously have turned a blind eye to such a hideous tragedy? I personally am not a 'Holocaust denier.' Such a tragic event may have happened. Then, again, it may not have happened as claimed by some... Before I make up my mind for sure, I would like to have certain questions answered. It that asking too much?
"As a matter of some interest and importance, the first mention of a 'holocaust' in which 'six million' Jews were allegedly to be killed was made on the front page of The American Hebrew (a Jewish publication) on October 31, 1919. Notice the date. That was at least 22-25 years before the alleged 'Holocaust' took place.... I look forward to your reply."
Response? Absolutely none! A follow-up letter was also ignored.
Yet another letter was received in mid-December. This one was from "Steve ... a Jewish follower of Jesus (Messianic Jew)." The writer stated that some items for sale on our web site (such as Henry Ford's International Jew and a couple of videos by David Irving ) "raised up red flags" in his mind. Steve said that Ford's writings were "anti-Jewish" and that Irving was a "holocaust denier." He then asked a few questions. In essence, am I personally "anti-Semitic"? Do I believe the holocaust took place?
My reply: "Before attempting to answer the questions you pose, I would like you to define three words or terms. First, how do you define the word 'Jew'? What makes a person a Jew? Secondly, how do you define the term 'holocaust'? And, thirdly, how do you define the term 'anti-Semitic'? Having this information will enable me to address much more succinctly the issues you raise. Without them, we could easily end up going around in circles getting nowhere....
"Thanks again for writing. I look forward to your reply ... and to carrying on further correspondence...." So far, no response.
It is important to realize that the definition of terms is vital to a knowledge and understanding of any subject. Without definitions, words and terms such as those listed above can be used as powerful tools to silence honest enquiry. Organized Jewry uses terms such as "anti-Semitic" and "holocaust denier" to virtually eliminate all public discussion of the Jewish issue. To raise even the mildest of questions on such matters automatically results in one being dubbed an "anti-Semite" or "holocaust denier." This ploy has worked for decades. It has effectively closed down all meaningful dialog.
But why use such coercive tactics if one's case is so airtight and beyond reasonable question? I believe author Joseph Bullinger supplies the answer: Those who deem it necessary to resort to smear tactics betray a fundamental weakness and defect in their character, an insecurity and a lack of confidence in their ability to defend their position. Smear is a weak man's excuse. It is a puerile (asinine, sophomoric) form of emotional purging but an extremely poor substitute for rational, reasonable dialog and debate. Amen!
INDISPUTABLE DOCUMENTATION
 Like numerous others, I have striven for years to develop indisputable documentation on the "extermination of 6,000,000 Jews" by Nazi Germany during World War II. It seems the more one tries the more one runs into a never-ending series of obstacles and roadblocks. Among these are the "hate crime" laws that have been enacted in Germany, Austria, France and Canada (and which are now pending in the United States). These have resulted in heavy fines and/or imprisonment for such individuals as David Irving the world renowned British historian. In 2005, Irving was sentenced to 3 years in prison in Austria for the "thought crime" of even questioning some aspects of the Holocaust story. As the veracity of the story is officially deemed "beyond dispute" in that nation, he was branded a "Holocaust denier, "an "anti-Semite,' and a "rabid hate monger." (In December, Irving was released after serving 13 months).
Rabbi Moishe Arvce Freidman, Chief Rabbi of the Anti-Zionist Jewish Community in Vienna, Austria, spoke at the recent "Holocaust Conference" at Teheran, Iran. He revealed that Theodor Herzl, the father of Zionism, wrote in his diary in the early 1900s that six million Jews in Europe were threatened with extermination.
Rabbi Friedman also mentioned that in 1990 the claim that 4 million Jews had died at Auschwitz had been reduced to less than 1 million, while the overall 6 million figure remained the same. [Do the math. Six million minus 3 million equals six million. Amazing!] Jewish historian Norman Feinkelstein has written a fascinating book on the "Holocaust" ( or, "Shoah" in Hebrew). It is titled, The Holocaust Business. It shows that, from the Zionist point of view, there's no business like Shoah business. On the internet, you can read an interview with Finkelstein. Google "conversation with Norman Finkelstein." It's very revealing.
WILL HONEST ENQUIRY BE
SANCTIONED IN AMERICA?
Are we as a society fast approaching the time in which any one who makes honest enquiry into the details of any story that is "officially sanctioned" can be charged with "hate crimes"and imprisoned while being denied a fair hearing in an open, fact-seeking forum? It sure looks to me like we are fast descending into a situation which, in modem times, has only existed in the Soviet Union, Communist China and Cuba. Remember that, "Truth is hate to those who hate the truth."
One of the most basic principles of any investigation is, "Prove all things, hold fast that which is good " (I Thessalonians 5:21).
"This is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone that doeth evil hates the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God" (John 3:19-21). Are you seeking the truth in all things? Or are you engaged in a massive coverup of reality?
As honest human beings, we should in all things be bound by these divine principles. We should seek the truth, that only, that to the very end. As Henry Ford once wrote: "The truth frequently seems unreasonable; the truth frequently is depressing; the truth sometimes seems to be evil; but it has the eternal advantage, it is the truth, and what is built thereon neither brings nor yields to confusion."
As our Lord Jesus Christ declared, "You shall know the truth, and the truth make you free" (John 8:32). Though specifically applied to Christ himself, the principle applies to virtually every area of the human experience.
This newsletter is funded (hopefully) by sales of books and by donations. Any financial support is greatly appreciated, and will enable us to "keep on keeping on." We don't have a hidden agenda. We are only interested in spreading the truth about what is really happening in and to the United States.
Unlike other groups, organizations and newsletters, we do not receive any grants or other types of support from foundations, corporate donors, or individuals with a private agenda. Such "support" always comes at a price. "Strings" are always attached - strings that guarantee that the recipient hues to the party line and does what is required of them.
We wish you every success during the year that lies ahead. We trust you will find 2007 to be a year of growing knowledge, understanding and wisdom.
Best Wishes
Des Griffin
