Mods - Why did you remove my post on

"The 14 Points of Fascism" I am unaware of any board rules it violated.

1. Rense is considered a bad source

You should PM or email though, this'll get locked too.

3. Why is it a bad source, it's the same 14 points listed everywhere else?

It just happened to pop first on the google search.

5. Look around rense.

It's crap.

[Freedom_from_Chains]

6. O.K., I will check it out later.

9. Ernst Zundel

and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, for example. It's hateful, it's nasty, it's conspiratorial and it's paranoid.


Summary: It's Fucked.

11. And if I had posted the Elders of Zion I could see that

That is blatantly anti-Semitic. But whatever, I'll remember that next time.

7. It's more than crap

It's stinky poison crap.

8. because they don't want links to illegitimate sources and rense is popular

with the :tinfoilhat: crowd. The same thing is at other sites, so it'd behoove you to link to one with credibility. You can probably repost with a good link, just doublecheck.

2. Find a different source. They exist. Here:

http://ellensplace.net/fascism.html

NOTE: The above 14 Points was written in 2004 by Dr. Laurence Britt, a political scientist. Dr. Britt studied the fascist regimes of: Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia), and Pinochet (Chile).

10. Yeah, it's the same 14 points I posted.

Which was my point, what difference does it make where it came from unless the text had been substantially changed, which it hadn't.
