13th-Century User ID: 28715327 Canada 12/24/2012 09:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I suggest everyone read the book, before they swallow the smear that Hitler shows himself a racist in this work. Have you read it? Let's hear back from you when you do so. |

Marxist User ID: 15683799 New Zealand 12/24/2012 10:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | By Paul Hockenos Quoting: Public Domain 15785085 Berlin Adolf Hitler's rambling magnum opus, Mein Kampf ("My Struggle") is considered a blueprint of the radical nationalist, pungently anti-Semitic vision that he would put into practice when the Nazis captured power in Germany, in 1933. It reflects his thinking so accurately that one German historian describes the book as "direct access to Hitler's brain." In fact, the book's contents were considered potent and infectious enough that the postwar administration in Allied-occupied Germany banned its publication, a prohibition that German authorities maintained, and which is to remain in place until the end of 2015, when the copyright expires. What happens then is the object of intense discussion and soul-searching in Germany, where, 67 years after the war's end, freedom of speech is still curtailed when it promotes Nazi ideology. Hitler wrote most of Mein Kampf in 1924, during his incarceration for his role in the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch in Munich, when he and his followers tried to seize power in southern Germany. One of his motives for writing the book was to use the royalties to pay off his legal fees. It was originally thought that Hitler dictated it to his prison mate and early follower, Rudolf Hess. But recent research concludes that Hitler typed it himself in his cell on a portable typewriter, and then later dictated further parts to a publisher. [link to chronicle.com] Why should they be. Hitler was an arch corporatist and capitalist bootlicker. Had he taken the world, we would be on consumerist capitalism on steroids, complete with grazing sheep down ubermall land. The German elites are fully aware of this. Workers of the World, Unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains! |

The German elites are fully aware of this. Then why do they tell so many lies about him? What happened at Treblinka, Sobibor and Belzec? Did 1,5 million Jews die there? Where they gassed? Is it plausible? How was Auschwitz supposed to work according to the official story? Does it fit the evidence? Examining Auschwitz. The only existing gas chamber, was build after the war? |
