Fixing History

 There's this meme floating around Holocaust Denier Circles lately, that the Americans tortured German defendants at Nuremberg, and that an investigation found "Out of 139 German witnesses who testified that the Holocaust had occurred, the British Medical Officer recorded that 137 had 'damage to their testicles that is beyond repair.'" If this were true, and that's a big "if," it would probably invalidate at least the various testimonies given at Nuremberg. But is it true? Let's find out. So, if I google this quote, the first thing that comes up is the following Wikipedia Page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malmedy_massacre_trial This is obviously not one of the Nuremberg Trials: it doesn't even pertain to the Holocaust. Instead, it is a trial of Waffen-SS men for the massacre of Belgian and U.S. POW in the Battle of the Bulge. It wasn't even held in Nuremberg; it was held in Dachau.

 We often see the claim "The [American] Civil War was over tariffs" coming from Lost Causers. But how true is this? Well, let's start off with this question first: How much of the Federal government's revenue did the Southern states actually pay? As per this image, taken from page 71 of this report from the NY Chamber of Commerce , we can clearly see that NYC alone consistently accounted for the overwhelming majority of America's foreign trade (around 2/3rds). As per  this selection of pages from that report , we can see that NYC alone handled a far higher percentage of the goods subject to duties and tariffs. In 1859, for example, NYC alone paid about 2/3rds of Washington's tariff revenue. This is, of course, excluding other major Northern ports like Boston and Philadelphia. The only substantial port in the South at the time was New Orleans. Therefore, the overwhelming portion of tariffs were paid by the North. It therefore follows that if tariffs had been th...

This is an intercept made by the UK Foreign Office which originated with a COMINTERN group somewhere in Poland (presumably).
