The Nazi Death Machine: Hitler's Drugged Soldiers

[E-llusion]

I couldn't agree anymore. Maybe the person in question is a bit off their rocker for not believing in the holocaust, but I don't feel it's right AT ALL to ban them for such a belief.

I think the ban had to do more with poster's history of posts, and specifically here this was not just his view, it was spreading hatred and racism which IS against BLUA.

Back on topic, I watched an interesting documentary on discovery channel yesterday and they claimed that Hitler's personal physycian had him injected with METH daily (in official papers listed as MultiVitamin cockatail, but really who gets an INJECTION of vitamins ?).

They had supposed eye witness, hitler's driver who claimed that after his daily morning appointment he appeared energetic,
vigorous and talkative and ready to tackle his next day.

Moreover, one of the Nazi medical staff attempted to replicate the "recipe" for Hitler's "vitamin" injections which apparently led to the whole lab being ordered destroyed by Hitler's 2nd in command.

If you watch Hitler's speeches and how he behaved in public he always appeared either a) psychotic or b) tweaked-out or c) both so the documentary sure made some sense. This would also explain some of his brash and reckless military decisions which paid off in the short run but failed miserably in the long term.

Finally they claimed that Hitler was suffering from Parkinsons (documented in one of the films with is involuntary shaking of left hand) and that was partially what caused his poor military decisions and slow reaction to what was happening on the front lines.

I am not saying that it should be regarded as fact but it certainly had some grounds for credibility. Nevertheless very interesting theory, and would also explain Hitler's sympathetic relationship with amphetamines as far as giving them to his soldiers.

the holocaust is not a matter of "belief"

Who the fuck cares if you don't target a specific race

i guess to some people the idea behind an action actually matters because it tells you a lot about the true motivations and dynamics of the acting party, and (in the case of the nazis) what it could have been capable of had it not been stopped at great cost;

anyway, nobody is saying stalin was a great guy, so what is your point?

killing 1 person cause they are a jew and killing 3 people cause they disagree with you are the same thing

no it's not, because in the latter case those disagreeing may have the option of shutting up and not revealing themselves in the first place; although, admittedly, stalin's minions did shot and purged people rather randomly;

Sure it is. Some people still believe the world is flat. Some people don't believe in any type of science. Some people believe they are in a "matrix" (like the movie) and reality is not 'real'. People believe all sorts of things.

I also believe the holocaust existed, as do most reasonable people, so why are you nitpicking something I wrote that was intended to defend freedom of speech on this site?

i retract;

i guess my response came from an impulse, i'm perhaps not 100% sure if 100% freedom of speech is really desirable; but as i said, not sure myself;

she did talk an awful lot of bullshit, whatever she got banned for, i'm not going to miss her contributions

wonder if all those UFO stories from US pilots was a direct result of amphetmaine psychosis. Interesting snippet/thread...apart from the completely off topic flaming orgy.
