The CODOH Revisionist Forum

The Nanking Massacre is the Chinese version of the Jewish Holocaust hoax. Ever since I got into Holocaust revisionism I wondered if there was any other atrocity propaganda from the Second World War that most people believe today as historical "facts". So my attention drew to the Nanking Massacre I found a few Web pages, videos and a book titled "Analyzing the “Photographic Evidence” of the Nanking Massacre By Higashinakano Shudo, Kobayashi Susumu & Fukunaga Shinjiro" that debunks this alleged Massacre. Below is a really great Web page with tons of information.

Just like with the Holocaust myth all of the details of the supposed Massacre only surfaced after Japan surrendered in 1945. Chinese leader Chiang Kai-Shek made hundreds of radio broadcasts to the Chinese people but he never mentions a supposed Massacre in Nanking. All of the pictures from this alleged Massacre are staged by the Chinese kinda like how the Soviets staged photos of supposed German atrocities on the eastern front.

After all my research I've came to a conclusion that the Nanking Massacre is just another allied propaganda myth to make the Japanese seem evil to justify some of the war crimes that the allies did to Japanese civilians like all of the fire bombings on Japan. Also the communist regime in China seems like they benefit off of it a little. Now Nanking isn't as shoved down our throats as much as the Jewish Holocaust crap but I still think it's an important topic to discuss. The Nanking Massacre is kind of neglected in the revisionist community.

I looked at the article and found that it seems to make some strong points that are well worth investigation.

However the suggestion that it was unheard of before 1945 is quickly dispelled using Google's ngram:

https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?c ... %3B%2CRape of nanking%3B%2Cc0%3B%2Cs0%3B%3BRape of Nanking%3B%2Cc0%3B%3Brape of Nanking%3B%2Cc0%3B%3BRAPE OF NANKING%3B%2Cc0

An interesting spike of interest in the 1990s though in the capitalised form, suggesting a book, film or TV programme.

I have a very short article on my blog which just about covers the official story of Nanking/Nanjing titled « The Conte of John Rabe ». It may be useful in one instance; you can search the names mentioned in the article and carry on from there.

As usual, Ngram data can be revealing, of at least something. Also with regard to these kinds of things, it is worth the extra attention to distinguish between lower-case and capitalized versions (which Holocaust-skeptics mockingly allude to with the phrase 'the Big H.'):

The Occidental Observer has published an article on this matter by Colin Liddell. I think that the Chinese communists are pushing this Nanking Massacre propaganda as a means to deflect attention away from the fact that they are responsible for the deaths of millions of their own people -

That explains the surge of interest in the Nineties, but our Ngram seems to contradict the Occidental Observer's assertion that it was little spoken of at the time.

Also there was a book that came out in 1997 titled "The Rape of Nanking" by Iris Chang that also helped boost it up in the Nineties.

The official media and educational narrative is always useful litmus test and last I looked Rolling Stone was still peddling Mao hats.
