QUOTES OF UTILITY

Myndigheten kommer att leda arbetet med att samordna och utveckla myndigheters och andra aktörers verksamhet inom Sveriges psykologiska försvar, lämna stöd till sådan verksamhet och bidra till att stärka befolkningens motståndskraft. Myndigheten kommer att ha dessa uppgifter både i fredstid och under höjd beredskap.

En viktig del i myndighetens arbete kommer vara att stärka den samlade förmågan att identifiera och möta otillbörlig informationspåverkan och annan spridning av vilseledande information riktad mot Sverige.

...Holocaust ‘historians’ present their thesis as being essentially "unquestionable" and converge on their exclusionist colloquia, all the while contradicting one another's theses on the most salient of points, and making claims that are not supported by the documents they cite – if they cite any at all. They posture themselves in manners that reek of credulity and dishonesty. Above all, they become stone-cold silent when they are confronted with evidence which does not fit their theses. My exchanges with Fleming and, more recently, Browning, confirm that. (I will present the exchange with Browning a little later in this talk).

This is not what should be expected from the world's authorities in any discipline, let alone one of the most controversial topics of our time, a subject which is desperately in need of honest appraisal and revision, albeit with a certain amount of humility and respect for victims of persecution — and I speak now of past victims and of today's victims of persecution: the scientists and scholars who are asking the right questions, undertaking the right studies for history — the men and women who are uncovering the distortions of the past and the ersatz "history" of the present based on those distortions, which no longer serve to protect the victims of the past.

It is my conviction that, shorn of its political umbrage, revisionism-in-itself is a humanistic undertaking, a discipline which, in its pure form, can foster greater understanding between individuals and nations which were bitter enemies in times past. The guardians of the "shrine of truth" have become the jailers of truth, the enemies of open discussion and reconciliation. We must overcome the "bankruptcy of the traditional history" – which has become both morally and scholarly bankrupt – for Revisionism is a Humanism. (If we cannot hold honestly-held opinions which are not borne of hatred, but of intellectual curiosity, then we have lost our humanity, our legacy of Humanism in the western world. We will lose our love of wisdom, our philosophia, we will wither on the vine of wisdom).
