Unannounced, unexpected, and lacking any expertise in the history, culture or language of the Ukraine, a French priest, Fr. Patrick Desbois, suddenly emerged in 2004 in various Jewish media outlets as a man who had made a new, breathtaking, historical discovery about that nation! What was the reason for all the fuss, and why were various Jewish groups ecstatic over his “discoveries”? Lo and behold, he had discovered a new Jewish “holocaust,” and had baptized it “la Shoah par balles,” or the “holocaust by bullets.” The term has now become a Zionist media catch phrase that refers to his absurd claim that the Ukrainians gunned down about two million Jews in 1941-2 by shooting them in the back of the head.
Desbois, born in 1955, had spent many years in obscurity as a seminary teacher before feeling an urge to travel, make some money, and see his name appear in the Zionist media. After being excused from his teaching duties, he first sought media attention by becoming a follower of Mother Teresa. But when that led nowhere in terms of media recognition, he sought a brighter spotlight as he advanced into middle age amid continuing obscurity. Then, sometime around 1990, realizing that only the Jews could give him the media attention he craved, he suddenly discovered “the Holocaust.” Although we do not know for sure who made the initial proposition in this lucrative hookup, Desbois or his Jewish backers, we do know that the Jews who control the mainstream media are constantly on the lookout for Catholics, especially priests, who are ready to place the sacrifice of the “six million” ahead of the sacrifice of Christ in their life’s work. (As I write, names of other prominent Catholic “holocaust” bootlickers like Robert Drinan, Eugene J. Fisher and John T. Pawlikowski, among so many others, come to mind.) In any case, once the Jews had discovered him, the collaborationist French bishops made sure he moved up the ecclesiastical ladder. In 1992, he officially began his career as someone who specializes in “dialogue” with the Jews on the diocesan level, when he was appointed as Secretary for Jewish Relations by Cardinal Albert Decourtray of Lyon. He was promoted in 1999, gaining national recognition in the process, when he was appointed as Secretary of the French Bishops’ Committee for Relations with Judaism. Finally, in 2004, the French hierarchy handed him over completely to his Jewish benefactors, and the latter took full control of him. These Jewish sponsors immediately created a new “interfaith group,” called “Yahad - In Unum,” which means "together" in both Hebrew and Latin, and put the ambitious Desbois in charge! Not long after his installation in this new job, the rabbis shipped him off to the Ukraine. The alleged reason for the trip was to enable Desbois to see the place where his grandfather had been held as a prisoner of war during World War II. But, just by coincidence, while Desbois was there, his Jewish handlers informed him that although about 2,000,000 Jews had been killed there in 1941-2, even though not one grave of any Jewish victim had ever been marked. Desbois probably realized that the reason why there were no markers above the ground is because there are no bodies under the ground. But a true charlatan like Desbois pays no attention to such inconvenient details. Thus began his journey to media fame, a pilgrimage that has led directly to his current friendship with the ultimate charlatan of the “the Holocaust,” Elie Wiesel.
This bizarre story now gets even better, but in a sick sort of way. As a result of his “discovery,” Desbois’s new priestly vocation became to find and to mark these graves! One wonders, of course, what this new job has to do with his priestly commitment to preach Christ, but charlatans have a way of talking themselves around sticky questions like this. Furthermore, how can Desbois carry out this task, especially when he cannot speak the local language and has no expert knowledge of either the history or geography of that country? Well, thanks to his Jewish backers, Desbois suddenly became capable of finding and paying very old peasants – and I mean very old indeed – who could remember back across the chasm of 65 to 70 years to tell him exactly where the graves of the approximately to 2,000,000 Jews are located! According to one Zionist media source, “Desbois cross-checks every statement [from a peasant] with Soviet Archives at the Holocaust museum in Washington and German records. He registers an event or new grave site only after obtaining three independent witness accounts.”[1] One can only imagine the vast number of hours that would be required to carry out such research, if indeed it were possible. But then, just to make sure, Desbois digs up the bodies, right? Wrong. First of all, there is no proof that Desbois has ever located the remains of even one dead Jew. But even if he were to do so, he would not dig up any remains because the rabbis who pull his strings have decreed that he would be committing a sin if he were to do so. Here is how Desbois explains this rabbinical decree in his bizarre book: “It has been decreed that all the Jews assassinated under the Third Reich were tsaquidim, that is, ‘saints,’ and that eternal life has been granted unto them. For this reason, their graves …must remain intact so as not to upset their tranquility.”[2] It is thanks to this rabbinical statute that Desbois can claim on the one hand to have found proof that about 2 million Jews were shot to death in the Ukraine without having to produce the remains of even one dead body with a bullet hole in its skull!
Jewish Rancor
So why did the French Jewish organizations decide to recruit Desbois at that particular point in time, and why did they send this Frenchman, of all places, to the Ukraine? They did so because, since the breakup of the Soviet Union, the Ukrainian people have lamented, and tried to tell the world about, their own holocaust, which they call the “Holodomor.” The word refers to Stalin’s program, begun in 1932, of imposing systematic starvation on the Ukrainians because of their resistance to his imposition of collective farming. The man Stalin appointed to lead that effort, which culminated in the extermination of 7 million people, or about 25 percent of the Ukrainian population at the time, was a bloodthirsty Jewish racist and fanatic named Lazar Kaganovitch. In addition, most, if not all, of his key underlings were also Jewish. Thus, as the Jews retaliate against the nationalist Ukrainians for launching this campaign of “memory” highlighting their role as murderers in the Ukrainian holocaust, they have assigned a key role to Desbois. His job, to put it simply, is to stigmatize the Ukrainian people as “anti-Semitic.” He does so, in accordance with the script that has been provided to him, by emphasizing that the Jews were allegedly killed not so much by Germans as by their Ukrainian “neighbors.” Thus, Desbois fronts for the Jewish groups that seek to diminish the Ukrainian claim to victimhood in the Holodomor.
It did not take long for Desbois to gravitate to, and become an acolyte of, fellow charlatan Elie Wiesel. As part of that process, Desbois was profiled in a front page story in the New York Times on October 6, 2007. That event must have confirmed to Desbois that he had indeed chosen wisely back in 1990 when he decided to exploit “the Holocaust” as his most direct route to fame and fortune. In fact, the High Priest of “the Holocaust,” the secular religion of America, has praised Desbois’s book to the skies, and now the two men routinely make public appearances together. On April 20, 2009, for instance, on the opening day of the so-called “Durban II” Conference on racism held in Geneva under the auspices of the UN, Desbois claimed that “la Shoah par balles” took the lives of “more than two million Jews [who] were killed like animals and buried like animals in ditches, behind churches and in parks. That was the holocaust by bullets.”[3] Here, perhaps because he spends so much time with Wiesel these days, we find Desbois pushing the upper limit of dead Jews beyond the usual 2,000,000 figure, even though he has still not yet produced even one dead body! A few weeks later, on May 8, 2009, while Desbois was being exhibited by his Jewish handlers during a month-long trip to the U. S., he appeared with Wiesel at a “holocaust remembrance” event held at Touro College in New York City. Then, as 2009 came to a close, the English translation of Desbois’s bizarre book appeared. It is entitled The Holocaust by Bullets: A Priest’s Journey to Uncover the Truth Behind the Murder of 1.5 Million Jews (NY: Palgrave Macmillan, 2009), and its publisher states that it has been “published with the support of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum,” which is tantamount to admitting that it is a work of pure Zionist Jewish propaganda. Not surprisingly, the book’s Preface was written by one Paul A. Shapiro, who goes by the title of “Director of Advanced Holocaust Studies” at the U. S. Holocaust Museum. Shapiro had also stage-managed Desbois’s visit to the U. S. earlier in the year. Incredibly, Cardinal George of Chicago has called the book “a striking contribution to Christian-Jewish relations,” adding that “we owe him a debt of enormous proportions.” Not to be outdone, Holocaustian foot soldier and sycophant Eugene J. Fisher tells us that “The Holocaust by Bullets is one of the most moving, troubling and insightful books on the Holocaust, or for that matter any other subject, that I have ever read.” These Catholics, overzealous to be sure in their desire to placate the powerful Jewish abusers with whom they “dialogue,” seem oblivious to the fact that Desbois provides absolutely no forensic evidence to support the historical claims that he makes. But, in the final analysis, the book’s true purpose is ultimately to enable the Jewish media barons to report on “the Holocaust” as if it were something that happened yesterday, to continue to divide and confuse Catholics by showing them that one of their very own, a priest consecrated to preach Christ, prefers instead to preach the secular Jewish religion of the “6,000,000” while also discrediting the Ukrainian people and their sufferings at the hands of the Jewish fanatics who served Stalin. The propaganda line is clear: if, as alleged by Desbois, the Ukrainians shot and killed 2,000,000 of their Jewish “neighbors,” then we should pay no attention to their claim of victimhood in the Holodomor!
“Retroactive Continuity”
Desbois claims to have found evidence that 2,000,000 or more Jews were shot in the head by firing squads composed of both Germans and Ukrainians in 1941-2. Logically, if the Jewish holocaust story were actually a part of European history that could be documented in the same way that everything else is, this discovery would mean that the overall figure of 6,000,000 dead Jews would have to be revised upward to about 8,000,000. However, since the master narrative of “the Holocaust,” as it is currently presented, contains much more fiction than fact, the Jews who manage and control it are able to maintain the 6,000,000 figure by constantly resorting to the use of the pop culture narrative technique known as “retroactive continuity.” Widely used in other, similar types of lowbrow narratives that feature sex and violence, like comic books, soap operas, and professional wrestling, among others, this technique allows for characters and situations to be written out of a master narrative and to completely disappear, as if they had never existed. The master narrative then continues on, with or without the addition of replacements. Thus, while it would seem that, on the surface at least, the Zionist media barons who control Desbois have added 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 victims to “the Holocaust,” the use of the lowbrow narrative technique of “retroactive continuity” enables them to maintain the figure of “6,000,000.”
Bizarrely, this latest development is a complete reversal of what happened when, as a result of the initial wave of Revisionist attacks on “the Holocaust,” from 1976 to 1990, the Jews were forced to downsize the Auschwitz death toll from 4,000,000 to 1,100,000 dead Jews in 1991. But just as the loss of 3 million dead Jews in 1991 had no effect on the mystical “6,000,000” figure, the addition of the 2,000,000 dead Jews, claimed by Desbois, has likewise had no effect. Thus, through use of the pop culture narrative tool of “retroactive continuity,” the holocaust narrative can be rewritten an infinite number of times, with millions of deaths being shifted about, from place to place and from year to year, and with key episodes, like the lampshades made out of the skin of dead Jews, or the “flaming pits” of Auschwitz that Elie Wiesel allegedly “saw” with his own eyes, being inserted and deleted at will. Nonetheless, at the end of the day, the total number of dead Jews will always add up to 6,000,000!
As for Desbois, although he is still a useful idiot to those who control him, his days as such are probably numbered. The Jews themselves know that this whole operation is a huge scam, and this fact helps to explain why Jewish newspapers with a certain level of intellectual pretension, like the New York Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, and NYRB, have never reviewed the book. It is simply too over-the-top.
In the meantime, however, I am troubled by the fact that Desbois has been promoted yet again, and that he now travels as a member of Pope Benedict XVI’s entourage when the latter engages in “dialogue” with certain Jewish individuals or groups. Such was the case when the Pope visited the Jewish synagogue in Rome on January 17, 2010. It is already very demoralizing to see the Bishop of Rome bowing symbolically before Jewish Power as he engages in such “dialogue,” but when he does so in the company of a charlatan like Desbois, who has blatantly betrayed his priestly vocation, such a sight is even more galling to behold.
