Does that mean everyone, including us, has to send a thank you to Russia and the other former Soviet States? Because that would be a bitter pill.

Dear Stalin,
Thank you very much for scaring the shit out of Hitler so much that he bucked himself.
P.S. We’re gonna make some movies about the Soviet Union. Matthew Broderick is going to play some PC games and solve the world in one. Another is going to have some high school kids are going to fend off an invading Soviet army.
Peace,

I know he has written fiction
but no. His Nazi work is actually sold as facts :) He is mainly a regular writer tackling Nazi issues. I read like 3 books. I don’t know his fiction ones

Well shit, I've always heard him described primarily as a theologian

by Brent Ducharme on Nov 1, 2010 4:48 PM EDT up reply actions
just search for him on YouTube
if what he says sound fiction to you, then it’s probably too much. I give you that some of the things he says may sound crazy. But he does NOT sell them as fiction.

He does a lot of the time
He says himself that his history is mostly “crazy stuff”. None of it should be accepted as any sort of truth.
He is a decent Theologian, though.

History isn't philosophy
You have facts backed by evidence and then you have fiction. Like any good historical fiction writer, Farrell combines the two to make his fiction more believable. Lots of writers do this to great affect, Dan Brown being a notable example.
You have to be careful to recognize that’s it’s STILL a fictional work, though.
"Don’t quote old fucks to me" – Brent Brookhouse
well. I haven't read that many of his books anyway
:) Only 3 books I think. Not really my cup of tea. I am more into Jordan Maxwell and Rick Straussman. You are right though. I don’t believe anything any of these guys say unless I can prove it. But some of the things about Hitler are clearly proven by historians. Like the fact that he was into occults and he was nutty

While the Thule Society and Nazi occultism existed, writers really like to exaggerate its influence.
I agree
but there is no question Hitler believed in some nutty things. The fact that he actually created an advanced UFO type aircraft, article can be found on Wired.com, and the fact that he was after the spear of destiny, I think it’s in his book or something. I am not saying what he believed was real. He was just mental.

Actually he fucked up that whole German jet program. If he hadn’t demanded that they turn them into bombers he could have had a 1000 jet fighters defending the French coast on D-Day. When they were shooting down allied fighters at a 25:1 clip that could have been a major turning point.

Um so you got your masters. Good for you
Studying the occult? There are plenty of people who have written great work on this. I am sure you are familiar with morals and Dogma and books of those types.
To be honest, I am not sure they even teach this stuff in universities. But maybe they do. I majored in business so what do I know :)
Listen. If what I am saying to you is too crazy for you just ignore it my friend. Don’t expect to know the truth out of university though.

Did I say anything about history being wrong or right? he asked for what books, I said one. there are thousands. they are books. It’s like you read the bible. Does anybody say it’s the truth? I guess some do. Just because bible is a piece of fiction or metaphor, it won’t stop me from reading it. Since when reading occult books is a crime or judgment of someone’s sanity
