By Salvador Astucia, August 3, 2002

The information in this article reveals that Mark Weber—who heads the Institute for Historical Review (IHR)—is apparently obstructing the organization’s mission. The following is a statement of IHR’s purpose from their website:

(http://www.ihr.org )

IHR also has a book publishing leg, Noontide Press; however, I will demonstrate that they do not conduct themselves like publishers.

Last December, Mark Weber rejected a book proposal of mine—and he has every right to do so—but he did it in a manner that smacked of censorship and truth suppression. In addition, when I asked him to explain the rationale for the rejection, he refused. Instead, he gave flippant evasive answers and made insulting remarks. From his demeanor, it was clear that Mr. Weber viewed me not merely as someone submitting a manuscript for possible publication, but as an enemy to his organization.

Before I continue, however, allow me to present some background on Mark Weber’s organization, the Institute for Historical Review (IHR).

For those readers unfamiliar with "revisionism," IHR and similar revisionist groups, they deal primarily with setting the record straight regarding the historical period known as the Holocaust. They seek to answer questions—based purely on facts—regarding how many Jews died in Nazi Germany from 1938 through 1945, the manner in which they died, Hitler’s motivation and the extent of his direct involvement in their deaths, Jewish political interests during that period, and so on.

Obviously these are controversial issues.

Raising such questions has incurred the wrath of worldwide Jewish and Zionist organizations because they have vested political interests in portraying themselves as victims. By presenting themselves in this light, Zionists have garnered worldwide public support for Israel’s continuing expansion in the Middle East, a last vestige of European colonialism.

Having stated that, it is logical that friends of Israel would "penetrate" the Revisionist movement using a variety of counterintelligence techniques. Controlling and suppressing truth in this area is the Holy Grail among planners of Zionist expansion. Such truth must be contained at all costs if Israel is to continue to exist and expand its borders as a colonial empire ruling hostile Palestinian subjects.

With this in mind, let us now explore the organization known as the Institute for Historical Review (IHR) headed by one Mark Weber.

Here is IHR’s description of its position regarding the historical period known as the Holocaust:

(from website, http://www.ihr.org )

In April of this year, I published a book entitled OPIUM LORDS: Israel, the Golden Triangle, and the Kennedy Assassination.

In OPIUM LORDS, I asserted that Israel and other Jewish political forces sponsored the murder of President Kennedy because:

• Joe Kennedy Sr., was building a dynasty. If each of his three sons served two terms in the White House, this dynasty would last nearly a quarter century.

• Joe Kennedy Sr. and his sons admired Adolf Hitler and were therefore considered enemies of Israel.

• Lyndon B. Johnson was likely a secret Jew (as was his wife) and acted at the behest of Zionist political forces throughout his entire political career.

I even identified the names of the three French Corsican assassins who killed JFK.

In December 2001, four months before completing the book, I decided to contact the Institute for Historical Review (IHR) about possibly publishing Opium Lords. Since I planned to discuss Holocaust revisionism and President Kennedy’s admiration for Adolf Hitler in the book, I thought IHR seemed like the perfect publisher.

On December 21^st, I emailed a book proposal to IHR’s book publishing leg, Noontide Press. In the email, I included an outline, a description of the content, and some key passages. The next day I received a response from Greg Raven advising me that he had received my email and had forwarded it to Mark Weber to review the book proposal.

Later that day, I received an email from Weber politely rejecting my book proposal with virtually no explanation.

The following is a summarized chronology of events.

December 20, 2001 (see Email # 1)

I send email to IHR’s book publishing company, Noontide Press, soliciting them to publish my book about Israel’s role in the Kennedy assassination. The book is not yet finished but in the works. I include an outline, a description of the content, and passages. At this time, the book is entitled Brazen Betrayal: The Israeli Plot to Kill JFK. (Later I changed the name to OPIUM LORDS: Israel, the Golden Triangle, and the Kennedy Assassination.)

December 21, 2001 (see Email # 2)

Greg Raven (Noontide Press) acknowledges receipt of my email and advises that it was forwarded to Mark Weber to evaluate the book proposal.

December 21, 2001 (see Email # 3)

Weber rejects my book proposal without explanation or inquiry.

December 22, 2001 (see Email # 4)

I request an explanation for the rejection. I quote IDR’s charter to remind Weber that IHR is dedicated "to promoting greater public awareness of key chapters of history, especially twentieth century history, that have social-political relevance today." I state that my book is in line with IHR’s charter. I further state that JFK’s assassination by Israel is relevant today because his successor, Lyndon Baines Johnson, began America’s current policy of total capitulation to Israel—a policy that led directly to 9-11.

December 22, 2001 (see Email # 5)

Weber responds in a demeaning manner. His email states simply, "Dear Mr. …, Mark Weber." Later he claims his response was sent by mistake. (20 hours pass before he explains this "mistake.")

December 23, 2001 (see Email # 6)

I express anger at Weber’s demeaning email and accuse him of being a spy, possibly for Israel. I further states that I will "spread the word" about his rejection of my book and his rudeness.

December 23, 2001 (see Email # 7)

Weber backpedals and gives me a half-hearted apology for the demeaning email. He claims it was sent by accident. This seems odd since the "accidental" email was sent 20 hours earlier. Normally, when someone sends an email containing a major flaw, they send a correction immediately. After giving a questionable explanation for his bizarre email, Weber reiterates his original rejection of my book by claiming that he is not interested because of I accused him of being a spy. (see Email # 6)

December 24, 2001 (see Email # 8)

For a second time, I request an explanation for the original rejection (see Email # 3). I also accuse Weber of using circular logic because he is using my words from Email # 6 as a pretext for the original rejection.

December 24, 2001 (see Email # 9)

Weber ignores my request for an explanation of why he rejected my book proposal. Instead, he quotes my words from Email # 6 in response to his insult (see Email # 5) which he conveniently claimed was an accident (see Email # 7). It appears that he baited me into insulting him, then used that as a pretext for rejecting my book.

December 26, 2001 (see Email # 10)

For a third time, I request a genuine explanation for the original rejection. (see Email # 3) I never got a response.

END of email exchanges.

Important footnote: Renowned revisionist Germar Rudolf wrote an interesting article, entitled IHR: Is the Ship Sinking?, which also raises questions about the legitimacy of IHR. Here’s the URL:

Corroboration

I have included 10 emails between Mr. Weber, Mr. Raven, and myself. They include message headers, to demonstrate their authenticity. The emails are unedited; however, portions were omitted to avoid redundancy with previous emails.

-----------------

Let me assure you, this is not your typical Kennedy

assassination book. Unlike most books on the stated

topic, Brazen Betrayal provides a historical context

which goes far beyond the specifics of the

assassination. Here is an excerpt from the

INTRODUCTION:

"There were two primary motives for removing Kennedy

from office. The first motive was to destroy the

Kennedy dynasty, thereby setting up the possibility of

acquiring more Arab land, something that would be

impossible while a Kennedy was in the White House. The

culmination of Israel’s expansion was the Six Day War,

in June 1967. Had the Kennedy dynasty not been

destroyed, Israel’s expansion could not have occurred

until at least 1985 because there likely would have

been a Kennedy in the White House for 24 years, from

1961 until 1985.

"This is not to suggest necessarily that precise

planning for the Six Day Way was underway in 1963;

however, it is widely accepted that Israel planned to

expand its borders since its founding in 1948. Israeli

scholar and publisher Simha Flapan explained that

expansion was always Israel’s main objective. With

respect to the original partition plan, in 1948,

Flapan stated that 'acceptance of the UN Partition

Resolution was an example of Zionist pragmatism par

excellence. It was a tactical acceptance, a vital step

in the right direction—a springboard for expansion

when circumstances proved more judicious.' With

Joseph Kennedy’s dynasty already in the White House in

1963, Israel’s plans for expansion would be most

difficult for many years to come. ...

"A second motive for removing President Kennedy from

office was to destroy détente between the US and the

USSR. Neither of the two superpowers viewed Israel as

an asset in contrast to the oil producing Arab

nations.

"Historian Michael Beschloss wrote of an intriguing

comment made by Kennedy, per Andrei Gromyko’s

recollection, about the attitudes toward détente held

by right-wing forces and Zionists in America.

----

"[Andrei] Gromyko claimed years later that the

President told him there were 'two groups of the

American population which are not always pleased when

relations between our two countries are eased.' One

was 'ideological,' the other 'of a particular

nationality who think that, always and under all

circumstances, the Kremlin will support the Arabs and

be an enemy of Israel. This group has effective means

for making improvement between our countries very

difficult.'

(M. Beschloss, Crisis Years, pp. 648-649)

publishing this book.

December 22, 2001

Dear Mark Weber:

I fail to understand how a book explaining Israel’s

plot to kill President John F. Kennedy is "not

appropriate for [IHR’s] current publishing plans."

Could you supply a more detailed explanation?

IHR’s charter contains lofty goals, claiming a

dedication "to promoting greater public awareness of

key chapters of history, especially twentieth century

history, that have social-political relevance today."

Your organization also claims to support scholars and

activists working to "separate historical fact from

propaganda fiction." That is exactly what I am doing.

What chapter of twentieth century history could have

more relevance today than the assassination of

President Kennedy? It was his successor, Lyndon Baines

Johnson, who began America’s current policy of total

capitulation to Israel. This is a situation that has

caused America to be hated around the world,

culminating in the so-called terrorist attacks on the

World Trade Center and Pentagon on September 11, 2001.

These terrorist acts—regardless of who sponsored

them—were a direct result of Johnson’s Middle Eastern

policies which continue to this day. How can that

topic be inappropriate for IHR’s current publishing

plans?

Is IHR yet another "compromised" organization that

uses empty phrases to create the illusion of lofty

goals, or are you genuinely interested in promoting

historical truths?

How can IHR’s charter be genuine if you, as head of

that organization, would reject—without explanation or

questions—a proposed book containing new information

about the Kennedy assassination and Israeli

involvement?

Please advise.

Sincerely,

Salvador Astucia

December 24, 2001

Mr. Weber:

First you insult me by sending a flippant email that

you now claim was an accident. Still you refuse to

explain why you rejected my book proposal in the first

place. Yet you continue to insult me simply because I

responded harshly to the original email in question.

For a scholar your logic seems circular and your

reasoning backwards.

Given that your organization expends enormous energy

criticizing the official Holocaust story (and I

applaud that effort), your last email had the tone of

a governmental propagandist who maligns the character

of targeted critics. Surely you must know that the

Western governments spend huge amounts of money

engaging in propaganda, and one of their most popular

techniques is to employ false critics. You made the

absurd statement that you have "less faith" in the

value of my book because I acknowledged this fact and

questioned the authenticity of your organization after

you insulted me.

Such statements draw your own credibility into

question. Given the nature of your original flippant

email (the one you claim was sent by mistake), my

skepticism was not unwarranted in the least. Genuine

critics of the Holocaust story know full-well that the

Western governments routinely use every dirty trick

imaginable to discredit critics of the official

explanation. If you don’t believe me, ask David

Irving.

Now I will ask again, please provide an explanation as

to why your organization is rejecting my book

proposal. In addition, please explain why you believe

IHR is immune to penetration by propagandists and

provocateurs employed by various intelligence

services. I am also curious as to how such a

controversial organization as yours enjoys tax exempt

status and why your web site is not blocked in

libraries and governmental organizations to the degree

that other sites are that present similar revisionist

history about the Holocaust.

Yours truly,

Salvador Astucia

Email # 9: From Mark Weber to Salvador, December 24, 2001

Synopsis: Weber reiterates his rejection of Salvador’s book. He continues to use Salvador’s earlier accusation that he is a spy (see Email # 6) as a pretext for the rejection.

Mr. Astuncia,

In your message of Sunday, you wrote to me: "Obviously you are

a select minion for our government's intelligence apparatus, or

possibly Israel's. How much are you being paid? I will spread

the word."

Given that this is your view or belief, I don't see that you and we

have anything more to discuss. I don't understand why you would

wish to cooperate with an institute that you believe is "a select

minion for our government's intelligence apparatus, or possibly

Israel's."

Sincerely,

Mark Weber
