LYONS, Ill. (KMOX) — An Illinois congressional candidate says the Holocaust is the “biggest, blackest lie in history.”

Arthur Jones, an insurance salesman from Lyons, Ill., is running as a Republican in the primary for the state’s 3rd congressional district against Jim Falvey and Richard Grabowski.

The Vietnam veteran has called into question the Holocaust where 6 million Jews were killed under the Nazi regime in Europe.

“This idea that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust is the biggest, blackest lie in history,” Jones told KMOX. “There is no proof that the Holocaust took place in Europe against the Jews.”

Jones – a former member of the Nationalist Socialist White People’s Party – wrote a flyer called “The Holocaust Racket” where he states it is an “international extortion racket” and refutes all the Holocaust deaths.

“Millions of dollars has [sic] been spent to spread the lies of the Holocaust,” Jones told KMOX.

A former member of the Nationalist Socialist White People’s Party, Jones started the American First Committee in 1980 in an effort to stop all the foreign influence on U.S. policies. He’s looking to oust incumbent Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Ill., because Jones feels Lipinski wants the U.S. to go to war with Iran because of Israel.

“I’m the only guy in the state of Illinois against the Israeli lobby,” Jones said.

Despite collecting over 1,000 signatures to be put on the ballot, the state’s Republican party refused to do so because of his views.

“I didn’t know believing in the Holocaust became a requirement for public office,” he said.

Jones has previously run for Congress twice. He also ran for mayor of Milwaukee in 1976.

Congressional Candidate Calls Holocaust Biggest, Blackest Lie In History

Steven Hodge

I had 2 uncles who served in the European theater during World War II who would tell you the death camps existed and the Holocaust did happen. I have seen pictures of the death camps and the piles of corpses stacked like cord wood. As to the actually number that died in these camps, the Nazis kept meticulous records and I am sure these were captured by the Allies when then liberated these areas. Further, why were so many former Germans put on trial and either put in prison or executed. This guy either is total ignorant of history or has an agenda. He does not belong in politics.

blablabla

No one cares. Palestians are getting killed by those so called “innocent” Jews right this minute. Jews are always the victims, aren’t they?

THIS TIME THE WORLD

@blablabla: Arthur Jones called — he needs a campaign manager.

Says the uneducated bigot. Go put on your Nazi uniform and kill yourself.

jh

The man is little more than an old nasty creep. He’s not worth mention.
Mr Truth

Yes, they died of starvation and disease from the allied bombings. There is no evidence of gas chambers.

That’s why it’s is illegal in Europe to deny the holocaust.

john

Wow, my opinion of Republicans just keeps getting better and better.

Someone find me a Neo-NAZI Democrat running for Congress… I bet you can’t do it.

Carl

He has stated that the only reason he’s running as a Republican is because the Democrats are worse. His words, not mine. I don’t agree.

yomann

He’s also stated that he votes Republican 90% of the time.

blablabla

Tom Metzger back in the eighties I believe. There are plenty more. Stop trying to say all Republicans are “Nazis”.
Jeff Spradling

So? The Democrat party is full of communists, Marxists, racists, illegal aliens, and dead people. And you comment on the entire part because of one idiot. Kinda makes you a hypocrite, wouldn’t you say?

furrypride2011

dead people?
WuzYoungOnceToo

- “dead people?”

He’s referring ot an important part of the Dem voter base.

sjc

Obama. Theres your answer.
WuzYoungOnceToo

Remember Alvin Green who ran for – and received – the Democrat nomination for a U.S. Congressional seat for South Carolina? The guy has the IQ of a diced turnip, and Dems voted for him. Ergo…following your logic…all Democrats are complete morons.
Shawn

I’m happily surprised that the republicans refused to put them on the republican ticket. Maybe there are still some sane Republicans out there.

stlmom4

Can’t there be some sort of basic education test for those running? Yeesh! Thank goodness the IL Republican Party showed some sense and refused him under their banner. Now to cleanse the party of the other ultra extremists.

blablabla

You must be a “NAZI” for using that word cleanse. I’m an “ultra extemist”… try to cleanse me pal !!!!

John, please read before you post.

yomann

That’s really bad reporting. Although the ILGOP is not endorsing him, Art Jones is on the ballot for the Republican candidate for the 3rd congressional district in Illinois. And he got his peition in first, so he’s listed first on the ballot, which is usually good for an extra 4-5%.

I hope this guy and others with this sick evil view dies the same way the nazis killed the Jews.

Well, again, everyone that is criticising this man for his views have failed to provide the evidence that supports their contentions that there was “six million killed”. Please provide genuine evidence to support the claim, or accept it is not true. Evidence such as can be provided for the population drop of around 40 million before WWII in the former Russian Empire territories where Bolsheviks gained control and killed. Despite how the Western media have pitched WWII, it was about the spread of Marxist atheist liberalism on the one side, and christian civilisation on the other. Christian civilisation lost, and this can be clearly seen in Western society today. The average citizen in the West did not understand what and who they were fighting for, just as today in the Middle East.

The Realist

Actually, the TOTAL number is closer to ELEVEN million. Of those, 6 million were Jews and the rest were others with whom Hitler disagreed.

Those who “deny” the Holocaust probably admit in private that it happened and are seeking ways to repeat it.
A J

Mr. Jones is the individual making the accusations. The onus of proof lies with him.

Also, I’m not his mother. He can google for himself.

mike

Actually it is not Mr. Jones that is making the accusations. The burden of proof lies on the ones first making the claim that there was a holocaust. This is a basic legal principle “AJ”.
A J

The holocaust is recognized as a historical event, not an accusation.

This is basic common sense, Mike.

TheGreatMilenko

Since you sound like a Christian, lets use your words to show how stupid you are!
“Please provide genuine evidence to support the claim, or accept it is not true.”
Apply this to your belief in god, because, according to you, someone who makes a claim needs evidence to back it up. GO!

mike

On balance there is certainly more evidence in archeology, etymology, and historical records that supports the events as relayed in the ancient Greek and Hebrew scriptural texts commonly known as the “Bible” (as opposed to the way the Reformation interpretors portrayed them..and I’m not catholic either!), than there is genuine evidence to support the claim of 6m gassed etc. Make no mistake that I am the first to say that the Nazi regime indiscriminately killed millions in acts of war and aggression, but that is a different thing from what is in question here. Many people fail to understand the conditions in germany post WWI. At this time the Bolshevik Revolution had taken hold in thRussian Empire, and the economically ravaged streets of Germany were an idiological and physical battleground between Nationalism and Bolshevism. Nationalism won. Thus the Nazi regime’s real foe was always Bolshevism, and its purveyors. The real historical shame was that the USA never supported Imperial Russia in its time of need, given that Imperial Russia supported the drive for an independent USA, as well as helped keep international forces out of medling with the Civil War in the USA.
mike

And as an addition: Your argument has no logic, as one is not refused access to the political proces in the USA based upon ones religious faith (well not yet anyway), nor are billions of taxpayers dollars being given in support of a people based upon a premise that they were unduly treated at a point in history. Here, an individual is being removed from the political process based upon his views on this particular issue. He would not be removed if he was a professed Hindu, or Christian etc.

Go to the holocaust museum in DC. There are pictures, eye witness account, hand writting letters, even video of bodies being pushed into large burial holes.

Paul

None of which are evidence for the “holocaust”. Learn to differentiate between evidence and emotional conditioning. Then read some books and I don’t mean Wiesel’s “Night”, I mean real books with facts in. There are no pictures anywhere of gas chambers being used to kill people. If you look at the pictures of bodies being pushed into large holes you’ll see the driver is one of the allies and not a german as is being implied.

Interestingly, Adolph Hitler died of consuming cyanide gas, being shot in the head for good measure, and was incinerated by open pit burning in an anonymous trench, precisely like hundreds of thousands of Jews.

Whether or not somebody believes in the holocaust they have to believe that Adolph Hitler caused the deaths of 20 million aryans, and totally incompetently was the biggest loser of World War II — hardly some jerk to worship.

Mike has it right: the holohoax cannot be proven. The only way to enforce this lie is to call people names, threaten them or put them into jail. In Europe they will put you into jail for “denying the holocaust”. The staunchest supporters of this fairytale have not done any actual study of this event, but have only seen movies that were made by Jewish Hollywood. Or they know someone who was in WWII who “went to the camps”.

Yes, there were work camps. Yes, people died. But the garbage that S Hodge put out is full of lies. Raul Hilberg, the author of “The Destruction of the European Jews”, admitted in COURT that there is NO PROOF of a written extermination order. Think about that: How could you kill millions of people with no written orders. Hilberg also admitted that there is no evidence of an autopsy of a single person who was gassed. After the war, Dr. Charles Larson conducted many autopsies on those bodies that you see in the films: not one of them was gassed.

Those stacks of dead people died from a typhus epidemic. There are hundreds of pages of German memos talking about how they were trying to stop this typhus epidemic. There was never a single homicidal gas chamber found. There were no mass graves of 6 million or 11 million. The “lampshades of human skin” and “soap from human fat” stories disappeared after DNA tests were invented, and the lampshades were found to be goat skin and the soap was pig fat.

Go ahead and bully people and call them names because of your righteous indignation that is completely based on movies and television shows that you saw. If you believe in the holohoax, it is only because you are ignorant. The Nuremberg Trials were show trials. The rules of evidence were thrown out the window. The US Chief Justice Stone said that Nuremberg was a “high grade lynching party”. The Russian judge at Nuremberg, Nikitchenko, was a veteran of the Soviet show trials. That was were the communists tortured people until they confessed to crimes against the state, and then were executed. That is exactly what happened at Nuremberg.
