in several countries you'd go to jail for saying or publishing this essay about the holohoax;

… What sets 9/11 apart from the holocaust is that it is at least still possible to discuss openly what happened then and who was involved without automatically being vilified or imprisoned. True, the audience one reaches on 9/11 is certain to be limited. Censorship and banning or shadow-banning on most social media platforms is a given. Media outlets for dissenting views were always in short supply, and now are few and far between. The hostility from certain groups – especially the ADL (Anti-Defamation League) and the SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center) – can reach a crescendo if one even hints that Israel or its partisans in this country might have been involved. But it isn’t illegal anywhere in the U.S. to make such a case – at least not yet.

The holocaust is different. For historians, public figures, and private citizens in the West alike, the holocaust narrative has become virtually untouchable. The thesis – propagated initially by Zionist Jews – is that six million or so Jews (and varying numbers of others, usually ignored) had been systematically exterminated by the Germans and some of their allies during WWII, principally in the 1942-1945 period. Tales of sadism, torture, and wholesale starvation abounded. The core of the argument was that the killing had been done in gas chambers utilizing a chemical agent called Zyklon-B, after which the bodies were cremated and disappeared from history.

As the decades went on, questioning this thesis – in whole or in part – has frequently become a prescription for ostracism and ruin. Not only that, it has increasingly been criminalized in the West, so that even suggesting that, for example, the number of deaths is exaggerated – much less that the thesis itself is untenable – can find the critic in the dock in many places, facing hefty fines or years in prison. In this, the holocaust thesis is unique in the modern world. It is the secular equivalent of challenging Church doctrine in Renaissance Italy or deriding Islam in the early Caliphates (and perhaps some places today), lacking only physical immolation or drawing and quartering as its ultimate penalties. .......more..........
