Great video

Interesting idea. Not sure it is really possible but it will be nice to see if it works.

There are always big stories told about Hitler and others to this present day leadres. However, unless you find the missing links, it's hard to connect the dots.

What do you mean by saying that Hitler was a Catholic. It's a half-truth. 1st, the Catholic church itself has been infiltrated from the time of Nepolian and it's beyond the slightest doubt that it has been inflitrated for the past 60yrs atleast. In that sense, yes Hitler was a Catholic but if you think that his belief was that of the ordinary catholic or Christians in Bible you are terribly off the mark. B'coz if he was a Christian why in the world did he used the SWASTIKA?? Think abt it..

We are all under British rule. They are superior and the Queen is our goddess. So get used to it and OBEY!! LOL

Hitler was a catholic, who is disputing this? you think a all Christians are infaliable?

[AlmightScoop]

No,

Hitler was applying selective breeding to human populations, trying to change the traits of the population. Well before Darwin, people were allowing only animals/plants with certain traits to breed. Breed the whitest pigeons and not the darker ones and eventually you get totally white pigeons (doves). Sow seeds from only the largest wheat and get a crop of large wheat. The fact that evolution by natural selection explains WHY breeding works is neither here nor there.

Great Conference!

And what he said is 100% true!

[Flyborg]

Ironically, the "argument" that Eugenics has something to do with evolution is just as much of a lie as Hitler's dogmatic "arguments" themselves. Since he DID invoke religion as an excuse, and never invoked athiesm or vegetarianism or his other unrelated beliefs, the irony builds further. The irony is so great, a rip in the fabric of space time is now opening. Thanks a lot! You destroyed the universe. >:(

look up giordano bruno.

the german dictator was a roman catholic as is evident from his autobiography and biographies.
