London
(England) [. . .] I WORK until 1:38 a.m. on CHURCHILL,
exploiting the Anthony Eden diary extracts, then
stagger into bed. I take three aspirins for a headache, and bad dreams
result. Inevitably the secret thieving of my seized archives
by Prof Deborah Lipstadt's "experts" is worrying my
brain. One dream helplessly illustrates itself with a
black-and-white clip of rats scurrying out of a sewer, and
gnawing at bags of wheat.
I think the rat analogy is good. Waking, I realise the
"rats" clip was from Jud
Süss, one of Dr Joseph Goebbels's more
pervasively evil movie products released in September 1940
(which I hasten to add I have never seen); this particular
clip has often been shown in documentaries about Nazi
propaganda on TV. [Postscript: somebody more expert on these things
than I tells me the "rat" scene is from Der Ewige
Jude (1940), not Jud Süss].
AT six I get up [. . .] and check the
emails. There are already over fifty. I find that Larry M. has emailed to me a story
published in The
Cumberland News in
Northern England, two days ago. It reports that rats
have destroyed the livestock of a David Irving in
Cumberland. Larry comments, "Not you… but I thought you
might appreciate this news story of David Irving's losses
due to rats." "Rats"? - El mundo es un pañuelo. I email
him: "How extraordinary. I just woke (6 A.M.) and decided to
add a comment about Lipstadt's rats gnawing at my archives
tomorrow! And then I find your email." The story reads: 26
COWS ELECTROCUTED AS RAT CHEWS UP CABLE By
Natalie Wilson TWENTY-SIX
dairy cows on a Cumbrian farm were electrocuted after a
rat chewed through a power cable. Farmer
David Irving, of Stubb Farm, Kirklinton, lost
cattle worth tens of thousands of pounds in the accident,
including some pedigree Friesian Holsteins, worth
£1,700. Mr
Irving said he initially thought heavy rainfall had
caused the accident, but on closer inspection, he found a
rat had gnawed through the cable supplying electricity to
scrapers used to clean the shed. Mr
Irving said: "The whole lot became live and the place was
full of steam. There were nearly 60 cows down on the
ground, and 26 didn't get up, basically." The
surviving animals were pulled out of the shed and have
largely suffered no ill effects from the traumatic
experience, which happened two weeks ago
tonight. "The
rest seem to be all right," said Mr Irving. "There were
no burn marks on them, just a few bruises." He
said he had a moment of panic when he was unsure whether
the cows were insured but was relieved to find they were.
He is planning on replacing the cows, to get back up to
140, but not immediately. "We
decided to go all milk last year," he explained. "We were
just getting our numbers together and this
happens." He
has installed an armoured cable and a circuit breaker to
try to prevent a similar accident happening
again. An armoured cable with circuit breaker. Not a bad idea.
Dein Wort in Gottes Ohr. 
A SECOND email, from hannover@berlin.com,
illustrates two aerial photographs of Auschwitz taken on the
same date in August 1944. Lo and behold one has clearly been
tampered with, as it shows not one but two columns of smoke
in the Krema V area (reputed to be where thousands of
corpses of Nazi victims were burned in open pits), and one
smoke-column is identical in every twist and curl to the
single column of smoke visible on the new photo of August
23.
The question is, who has done the tampering. We are told
no source for the second picture. If a genuine fake, so to
speak, it would be the most dramatic proof of photo-forgery
on Auschwitz photos, and would take some explaining away;
this assumes of course that it is one of the villains who
has done it, and not a "helpful" revisionist. Either way, I
wish I had been able to confront Prof Robert
Van Pelt with this one in cross-examination: it
would have demolished, or at least diminished, the value of
the air photo evidence he sought to rely on. 
A THOUSAND-dollar donation has come during the night from a
total stranger to help fund the next stage of the fight
against Lipstadt's gang. That leaves me with only about
eight thousand more to find. My worldwide supporters have
been very good over the last few days. We may get her a
small but private suite in Holloway yet.
