Geez, I seem to be keeping you busy. Though this nutty discussion got boring a long time ago for me. You've consistently blown up this single article into a general illustration of how the German occupation went. Here's two examples: And then you quote me mentioning the media aspects which is what I found interesting to begin with (not the occupation per se). Don't know how to respond to this level of misunderstanding. Moving on: Brumar89, October 19, 2003 They'd have to use a lot of imagination to say that in '46, I think. Things were horrible there right after the war. #reply-19415690 Note that the above statement is quite incompatible with this one: Brumar89, October Well, its hard for either of us to know how widespread the viewpoint expressed by Dos Passos was in 1946 as neither of us has a memory of those times See if this helps: Things were horrible there right after the war is what I understand about conditions in postwar Europe. how widespread the viewpoint expressed by Dos Passos was is my uncertainty about how pessimistic public opinion about Europe was then. Conditions in Europe in '46 and public opinion in '46 about conditions in Europe are different subjects. Get it? And on: You actually think the Bush administration has 'hacks' running fake blogs pretending to be from places like Midland Tx just to post articles from 1946? #reply-19414115 Yes, Heck Exploration pretended to be a girl and you ate their BS hook line and sinker. After I opened your eyes, you quit calling them "she", LOL. Note that it is only after I nailed the website to Bush that you write: I've never cared what website the article was posted on. One of the persons responsible for the Jessicaswell blog is simply a conservative person who happens to live in Midland Tx. Whether he is an oil man or rich or even politically active is irrelevant. #reply-19418708 Before the information, you denied that it was likely. After the proof, you deny that it was relevant, When I first posted the article, I had no idea nor any interest in who was "behind" the Jessicaswell blog other than it was some conservative blogger in Midland. Yeah, I would have guessed a woman because of the Jessica name, but really who cares. I'd still guess there is some Jessica around somewhere. After you say its Doug Heck and that he's connected to a (presumably family) oil company, I still say who cares? Why don't you just go to the blog and email them if you're interested? Tell them your suspicions. Demand they confess to having a hotline to the White House or whatever. Hey since you got the company number you can always call up and interrogate the receptionist. Ask her to connect you to the propaganda office.
