A Radical’s Diary (October 2009)

Federal investigation into Dov Hikind HIKIND was investigated, and ultimately charged, by federal authorities after multiple Jewish organizations were charged with embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars in government funds which were supposed to be used for children’s services.[ New York Times, Tuesday, August 5, 1997: U.S. Attorney Is Considering Indictment Of Dov Hikind .] Some of this money, investigators maintained, was used to pay for Hikind’s personal expenses.

According to documents, the organizations’ funds were diverted to pay for Hikind’s trip to Israel, and the school tuition for Hikind’s daughter and niece.

The United States Attorney in Brooklyn charged Hikind and several other defendants with various felonies and misdemeanors in connection with the investigation, but Hikind was subsequently acquitted of all charges by a jury.[Ibid., Jury Acquits Assemblyman Hikind of Corruption Charges ] Source: Wikipedia I ponder the subtle hypocrisy, or is it moral cowardice, of the American Express Corporation, assuming that their spokeswoman is telling the truth.

Their AmEx cards are notoriously accepted by every sleazy porno website and erotic bookstore and by not a few hookers too. As Internet commentators immediately begin asking, are they going to pull the contracts with gas stations where I buy gas? With every McDonalds where I stop for coffee and go online? With the bookstores that sell my books? With the Viking Press, Simon & Schuster, and every famous publisher that has ever published them?

The Hiltons, Embassy Suites, Marriotts and every other hotel where we stay and meet our friends? Belatedly the Internet confirms the AmEx cancellation: “5:00PM EST: Assemblyman Hikind has just released the following statement: AMEX SPOKESPERSON: ” DAVID IRVING’S ACCOUNT HAS BEEN REVOKED EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY” HIKIND : “We applaud American Express for doing the right thing. Let this be a lesson to all of us to remain vigilant against hate-mongers like Irving.” Um, hate-mongers. Yes.

Hikind postures as the son of a Holocaust survivor — his mother “survived Auschwitz”, i.e . not much untoward happened to her compared with those unfortunate enough to live in Dresden, Coventry, or Hiroshima. (So much incidentally for Hitler’s “genocide” plans: how sloppy of his henchmen, to let 100,000 survive in Auschwitz in 1945!) As Hikind was born in 1950 he appears not to have suffered much himself from Himmler’s devilry.

I check with our bank for the statistics of the last twelve months. I wonder what customers in Fiji, Europe, Australia, Asia, etc., will feel about “the Jews” when they find that a New York Jew who has never read my books or heard a lecture by me has inconvenienced them like this. October 21, 2009 (Thursday) Covington (Louisiana) — Jackson (Mississippi) UP at seven a.m. for a live radio interview with a Jackson station. Their man finds me difficult to pin down.

The Daily News has respected my responses, and given fair coverage to the American Express story. I thank their journalist: “Thanks for a very fair article. You caught me on the hop with your call, I was in a nice restaurant in Bourbon Street, New Orleans, when you called. You got most of your facts right. In fact only 12.6 percent of our last year’s business came through AmEx, and most folks with an AmEx card have one of the others. It’s their loss, not mine.”

The Times in London publishes a review of Ion Trewin ‘s new book on my late friend the politician and writer Alan Clark ( right ): This is a politician who, early on, considered standing for the National Front, who loved the musical Cabaret for the wrong reasons, who quoted Mein Kampf with approval, and whose wife’s rottweilers were named after Hitler’s mistress, Hitler’s pilot and Leni Riefenstahl, Hitler’s favourite film-maker.

Two of his books were about Nazi military prowess, in Crete and Russia. At a 1981 dinner Clark informed the German woman beside him that Hitler was ahead of his time as a vegetarian, “as in so many other things”; the poor lady protested in tears.

On July 20, 1989, on a ministerial visit to Poland, he skived off to the “Wolf’s Lair” at Rastenburg to celebrate the Führer’s escape from the July Plot. He believed that Churchill should have made peace with Germany in 1940; he kept a signed photograph of Hitler in the Saltwood safe and would consult it in moments of stress.

But then William Lyon Mackenzie-King , prime minister of Canada for twenty years, followed much the same beliefs, consulting in his dreams Adolf Hitler and even his own dead dog, according to his diaries. For all we know Barack Hussein Obama keeps Voodoo in the same way that no doubt Dov Hikind keeps kosher — that is if the Jewish community still welcomes him, after the way he stole their money: according to the Grand Jury, that is, if not the jury which unaccountably acquitted him.

As for Alan Clark, last year the author Ion Trewin wrote me: “It is often said he was pro-Hitler, but what I have yet to find is evidence to back up that view. In BARBAROSSA , for instance, he is admiring of the Third Reich s military capabilities, while critical of the way individuals behaved against the Russians. Can you help?” Perhaps I can.

On May 2 2008 I replied: On the evening of that December 1991 reception [at my home in Mayfair], he arrived half an hour before any other guests, to my surprise – I had forgotten we had sent him the invitation – took me by the elbow and steered me into my own study where he closed the door behind us. He sat in my chair, affably (I think) lit a cigarette, pointed at the framed 1938 Völkischer Beobachter front page on my wall, and said, “That’s what this country needs now.

A man like him,” meaning Hitler. He added that he had said as much to the prime minister too ( Margaret Thatcher ), but did not tell me what reply this earned from her.

He chatted for a few more minutes in this vein, most positively, about Hitler – the reception was of course in honour of the reissue of my Hitler’s War in our own edition, then left as furtively as he had come, having first helped himself with a chuckle to more than one cocktail sausage (the morsel was impaled on a cocktail stick, which sported a miniature of Hitler’s personal standard: most eye-catching.)

I was not much impressed with his BARBAROSSA [Barbarossa: The Russian German Conflict 1941 1945]; a bit of a pot boiler from what I saw of it.
