The Nazis accused of gassings admitted it.
Many witches in the past admitted their kraft.
Tituba was the first person to be accused of practicing witchcraft during the 1692 Salem witch trials.
She ‘confessed’ to being a witch, of seeing and talking to the Devil, of signing his book, etc.
NONE of which happened.
Yet based on her coerced “confessions”, 20 people were executed and 150 people were imprisoned.
Without her initial tortured “confession” — INCLUDING making coerced accusations against innocent citizens Sarah Good and Sarah Osborne of also being witches — the witch trials may never have occurred.
Refusal to confess meant a death sentence in Salem. Cooperating and ‘confessing’ was rewarded with life.
Although twenty people were hung and one person was crushed to death, Tituba lived.
Similar bargains and deals were made to “confessing” Axis personnel now demonised with the emotionally-loaded trigger word ‘Nazis’.
The initial exterminator “confessor” — Auschwitz labour and transit camp kommandant
Höß — confessed after torture and to protect his eldest son and wife from the threat of being sent off to Siberia.
‘Confessing’ Treblinka camp kommandant — a camp with no requisite sized mass graves for the alleged 780,000 killed there —
Kurt Franz co-operated, lived and was released in 1993.
Erich Fuchs “confessed” to installing and operating a very specific non-existent type of engine at Sobibor to mass-murder at least 79,000 Jews. Fuchs was sentenced to just four years imprisonment, for co-operating. Only four years! For mass-murdering 79,000? Seriously?
Yes, seriously.
Etc., etc., etc.
The accused perpetrators’ confessions are as credible as poor Tituba’s.
As usual Nessie is arguing from a position of stupidity and stubborn ignorance.
