Nearly all these governments, no matter how corrupt, brutal, and autocratic, actually won election in relatively free polls. And in nearly all these countries the vast majority of demonstrators hail from cosmopolitan areas: Kiev, Bangkok, Caracas, Istanbul, and other cities.

Fernando Kaskais

by Robert Faurisson Is The Diary of Anne Frank genuine? For two years that question was included in the official syllabus “Text and Document Criticism,” a seminar reserved for degreed students in their fourth year.

Internal criticism: the very text of the Diary (in Dutch) contains a number of unlikely or inconceivable facts. 2. A study of the premises in Amsterdam: … Continue reading Is The Diary of Anne Frank genuine? – pdf
