Quotes
"The Holocaust story relies on generally accepted --but
totally false-- misperceptions about the toxicity of diesel exhaust. Although
diesel exhaust does indeed smell terrible at times and may even look terrible,
the appearance and smell have nothing whatever to do with the presence or
absence of any toxic ingredient. The all important toxic ingredient is carbon
monoxide; at full load, diesel exhaust contains less than 0.4% carbon monoxide.
These numbers are the worst cases and apply to every Diesel engine ever built
regardless of the condition of the engines. From diesels, even the highest CO
levels alone cannot possibly kill more than a small minority of an average group
of people. Only in combination with the reduced oxygen levels, which occur only
when the engines are under "heavy load," can a combination of effects kill large
percentages of people in half-an-hour. Any reasonable gassing arrangement would,
however, have had to kill everyone. Gasoline engine exhaust, by contrast, easily
contains 7% to 12% carbon monoxide and no oxygen at all. Even far more deadly,
producer gas contains up to 35% carbon monoxide and no oxygen at all. More than
500,000 producer gas-driven vehicles were used throughout German-occupied Europe
during WW2, any one of which would have been thousands of times more effective
than any diesel arrangement. But, neither gasoline engines nor producer gas
generators have ever been implicated in any of the Holocaust claims -- only
diesels. How absurd and how inefficient those Nazis must have been!"
