KOENIGSBERG: "The Holocaust reveals the meaning of war. If we understand the Holocaust, we understand the meaning of war. I began by studying the Holocaust and realized I was studying the question of why do nation-states murder vast numbers of people. Why do nations state kill their own people? Stalin killed more people than Hitler. He was a genocidal leader. Mao killed vast numbers of his own people. He too was a genocidal leader. Why do genocidal  human beings become leaders of their countries? Why do they like nothing better than slaughtering their own people?" 

HAMMER: Historians take mass-murder for granted as if slaughtering large numbers of people is the most natural thing in the world. They write vast tombs documenting the slaughter...but don't question why it occurs. After all, this is what political leaders do: they kill a lot of people.

They are puppets  on a string, embracing and promoting conventional historical discourses or narratives.

I'm a computer engineer. I've done complex analyses for governmental institutions for the past twenty years. 

I just did an analysis of the Library of Social Science Newsletter and discovered that 2,500,000 million people have opened the Newsletter in the last fifteen years. Yet NO ONE HAS DISPUTED Koenigsbergs' hypothesis above how nation-states kill their own people.

Why is this the case? Denial of the truth? Or too busy grinding out material to add to their CVS?  Do historians care about discovering the truth? Is TRUTH an antiquated concept?

On the Internet, "everyone is entitled to his is her own opinion," no matter how uninformed this opinion may be. The "comments" sections of YouTube videos are among the most bizarre forms of writing ever to appear in public. 

What about you who have been receiving the LSS Newsletters all these years? Are you concerned with truth? Will you participate with those of us who are striving to discover the truth
