   I see no reason to take your unsupported word for anything, especially over   
   Georges Kopp's, but even if you're right that doesn't prove anything. For   
   example, the Fascist-occupied church could have been closer than Branthwaite   
   thought.   
      
   I think you are working to give the impression that fascism is either harmless   
   or   
   comparatively harmless. Have the decency to remember that the greatest war of   
   Orwell's lifetime was the war against the fascist and genocidal Axis powers.   
      
   As to this and your other conspiracy theories, I'm taking Orwell's word over   
   yours, now and in the future, and I'm not following you down any more rabbit   
   holes.
