David Irving presents evidence of the underlying Irish power structure in the U.S.A.

Potato Famine denial is the act of denying the occurrence of the mass starvation in Ireland, usually referred to as the Great Potato Famine. Indeed, there is a persistent group of Potato Famine deniers who assert that no famine occurred at all, or that accounts of a famine were grossly exaggerated.

The West[edit | edit source]

British writer David Irving contends that the Potato Famine is in fact an elaborate hoax to increase Irish power in the world. In his book, The Famine Facade, Irving writes:

Irving even stupidly suggests that the election of John F. Kennedy was a direct consequence of the Potato Famine hoax:

He has often failed to mention that he is a descendant of Charles Trevalyan, the infamous bastard who denied Ireland food aid during the famine.

More timid famine revisionists have suggested abolishing the term "great" famine and replacing it with something less dramatic such as "good" or even "mediocre".

The Middle East[edit | edit source]

President Ahmadinejad encourages skepticism.

Although frowned upon in the West, Potato Famine Denial is widely held belief in many Middle Eastern nations. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly questioned the existence of the Great Famine. In a controversial December 2005 speech Ahmadinejad said:

In January 2006 Ahmadinejad hosted the International Symposium to Evaluate the Worldwide Vision of the Great Famine in an abandoned barn that stank out animal feces. Nobody listened, since everyone who thinks knows that Iran can't be trusted. Several Frenchmen broke in and began throwing rocks, being of great annoyance to the idiots attending the conference. Iranian Foreign Minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, described the symposium as "the ideal scientific atmosphere for unbiased exploration of relevant issues concerning Ireland's history". Foreign Minister Mottaki began the symposium with a joke that nobody laughed at:

Ireland[edit | edit source]

Strangely enough there have been various Potato Famine Deniers from Ireland. Perhaps the most notable was Seamus T. Collins, a Westmeath farmer who was asked in 1873 by a Daily Herald reporter to recount his experiences of life during the famine. Collins replied:

Collins's testimony was the central piece of evidence in the symposium, and multiple (documented) cases of severe head trauma were never mentioned. His ideas were thus discredited, general consensus being that he was just a drunken arsehole.
