Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I heard the following on France Info this morning:

"un de ces quatre traditionalistes, Mgr Williamson, a nié l'existence des chambres à gaz pendant la Shoah dans un entretien accordé en milieu de semaine à la télévision suédoise. " Je crois qu'il n'y a pas eu de chambres à gaz (...) Je pense que 200.000 à 300.000 Juifs ont péri dans les camps de concentration, mais pas un seul dans les chambres à gaz", a-t-il déclaré au cours de l'émission "Uppdrag gransning" sur la chaîne publique SVT."

Cleaning up after a machine translation gives:

"one of these four traditionalists, Mgr Williamson, denied the existence of the gas chambers during the Shoah in an interview granted in middle of week on Swedish television. "I believe that there no were gas chambers (...) I think that 200.000 to 300.000 Jews perished in the concentration camps, but not one in the gas chambers" , he declared during the Uppdrag gransning programme on public channel SVT."

What a gentleman. I think I'll invite him over for tea and scones.

We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine, and the machine is bleeding to death.

Oops, didn't see that I'm more or less repeating the end of the OP.

Still, it shocked me deeply this morning and I find it deeply disturbing.

I heard the same, which inspired the post.
