In 2008, Kollerstrom was removed from his position as a research fellow at University College London for having written a number of articles suggesting that there had been no gas chambers at Auschwitz, and drawing attention to the number of orchestras at the concentration camp, as well as the existence of a swimming pool for the use of the inmates.

c

This was too much for some colonial authorities: the book, legal in France, was banned by the French high commissioner in Syria, presumably on the grounds that it was likely to inflame local hatreds.

d

In the socialist version of “Green Grow the Rushes, O,” five was for the “years of the five-year plan,” and four “for the four years taken.”

Collard subsequently acted as counsel for the British Communist spy Percy Glading, who in 1938 was tried and convicted of acting as the messenger between informants in the Woolwich Arsenal and a Soviet intelligence officer, Theodore Maly. Glading and his fellow defendants were sentenced to prison for six years.

k

Praise is due here to the journalist Martyn Gregory, the Gerald Posner of Diana conspiracism, whose research into the Paris crash and the various murder theories has sometimes been all that has stood between the mundane but important truth about that night and the Al Fayed-fed nonsense machine.

The
Honolulu Advertiser
of November 1, 2008, quoted the Hawaiian state health director, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, as saying that she had “personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.” Dr. Fukino added, testily, “This has gotten ridiculous.
