      From: mars1933@hotmail.com              Another Fake Hitler Quote from a Novel               Last July I exposed a speech ostensibly composed entirely of Hitler       quotes as being composed mostly, in fact, of fake Hitler quotes.              The debunking of fake Hitler quotes seems to be a never-ending task,       because people are inventing new ones. One of the fake quotes that I       debunked was this:       "It's not the truth that matters, but victory."       That fake Hitler quote is from a novel, Mist of Love, Fog of War by       Alain J. Zgheib, published only in 2016. From the same novel, we have       this:       "And the victor will never be asked if he told the truth."       The fake quotes from that novel spread very quickly. I have       encountered them several times.              According to Snopes, this is also from a novel:              It is from a slightly older novel, Pat Miller's Willfully Ignorant       from 2014.              The propagation of a fake quote like this raises some questions.              One could ask about the thought-processes of the person who decided to       take a sentence from a novel and to misrepresent it as a quote from       Adolf Hitler. Obviously such a person has no scruples.              More important, however, is what it says about the people who readily       embrace such a misrepresentation.              In the first place, it shows that, despite the obsession with Adolf       Hitler in popular culture, much of the general public knows       practically nothing about him. They never perused Mein Kampf to get a       general idea of what Hitler said -- which is rather the opposite of       what is attributed to him here. The whole spirit of Mein Kampf is       blunt and honest.              Furthermore, it suggests that they are still under the influence of       old war-propaganda alleging that Hitler presented in Mein Kampf       theories about how to deceive the public. Anyone who investigates what       Hitler wrote will find that he warned against the Big Lie as a tactic       of the Jews. But the vast majority of people will never check, and the       few who have checked either could not or would not obliterate that       false belief.              Dinesh D'Souza, in his public presentations about his idiotic book The       Big Lie, speaks as if Hitler had advocated the Big Lie. D;Souza       indicates in his book that he knows better, but for whatever reason he       chooses in his public presentations to conform to the old, false       propaganda. The fact that he can do this in presentations at       universities without suffering embarrassment is remarkable. Perhaps       the people who recognize the deception just don't want to be seen       defending Hitler. (Many of Dinesh D'Souza's followers however are       simply stupid.)              The belief that Hitler would have written such statements in a book       for publication also shows an utter lack of critical thinking.                     www.tomatobubble.com www.ihr.org http://nationalvanguard.org              http://national-socialist-worldview.blogspot.com radioaryan.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
