In his/her followup to my post "f_gaut" deleted the important
information that:

    "In 1989, Marchetti presented a paper at the Ninth International
     Revisionist Conference held by the Institute for Historical
     Review."

"f_gaut" also removed "alt.revisionism" from the newsgroups line.

Marchetti gave a speech at the international conference of Holocaust
deniers. Therefore, Victor Marchetti is a Jew hater.

I expose Jew haters whenever possible.  Hence, my posting.
