• Pythagoras, the first major plagiarist of babylonian math, 1000 years b

    From Richard Hertz@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 5 16:55:29 2023
    Cretin relativists should learn from this topic. 2500 years ago, Pythagoras took advantage of his position in ancient greek civilization to plagiarize an entire body of mathematics developed 1,000 years before his birth.

    At least, he had decency and dug into developments that preceded his work
    by a millennium. Einstein just plagiarized Lorentz and Poincaré within 1 YEAR span of time.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YBC_7289 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plimpton_322 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IM_67118

    BTW, the european renaissance came after Columbus, Magellan and other
    pirates who stole all the science from China and India, developed 3,000 years before their depredation of eastern science and technology, in particular mathematics, physics, metallurgy, chemistry and other technologies, like
    how to make paper, powder, etc.

    Western science is a fucking joke.

    So, Dick, how is it that western technology has, in the past, towered over the rest of the world if *they* had the knowledge first?

    If you steal an idea, that could be plagiarism. However, if you steal from multiple sources, well, that is research!

    I'm pretty sure that *you* are the fucking joke here, Dick...

    Quite simple: theft, piracy, mass murder, submission of locals, domination by force and death: Spanish empire first, Portuguese followed. Then, after
    the demise of both empires, britons, frenchies and dutches followed. All of this in just 600 years.

    Even Newton was benefited from Indian knowledge brought to England.

    The behavior of invaders of eastern world was the one of depredators, something that indians and chinese had left behind for centuries.

    The information is online. Do a little of research, fucking relativistic asshole.

    16 Significant Science and Tech Discoveries Ancient India Gave the World https://www.thebetterindia.com/63119/ancient-india-science-technology/

    How the West stole Indian inventions, ideas & knowledge | Jeffrey Armstrong ji https://www.reddit.com/r/indianews/comments/p2tz7e/how_the_west_stole_indian_inventions_ideas/

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indian_inventions_and_discoveries



    https://www.britannica.com/technology/history-of-technology/China

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_science_and_technology_in_China


    China and India were ahead of western STEM for more than 2,000 years. But they didn't want to conquer the West by force and
    use their resources (nothing that Europe could have in the dark ages) to finance their civilization. They were mostly territorial.

    Fucking britons, frenchies, dutch, spaniards and portuguese went out to deplete resources of the new world, after Colombus.

    European science, with very few exceptions, was close to NOTHING before 1492.

    Curiously, science and the rest of STEM, arts, etc., fluorished in Europe AFTER they started to conquer country after country in the rest of the world.
    And, ironically, it was the Chinese invention of the powder which facilitated the development of cannons, pistols, rifles, etc.

    West stole not only precious physical resources, but also intellectual resources as well.

    Now, the cretin westerners cry foul because China is striking back, without bloodshed.

    There is a circular development of global events, going back to the origin of the sources of wealth, science, technology and human development.

    Step by step, while the "collective West" is crumbling.

    Karma.

    I personally think, that Poincare's 'Sur le dynamic d'electron' was
    submitted days befor the paper 'On the electrodynamics of moving bodies'
    and the date of submission was faked (by Planck).

    The reason: there was a relatively large gap between submission in june
    1905 and printing in late 1905, which was unusual.

    And Einstein's text was seemingly inspired by Poincare's paper, hence
    had to be written after the paper of Poincare.

    This little time-gap could be easily fixed, but only by 'Annalen der
    Physik', hence by Planck himself.

    What on earth does it matter what you personally think? If you want to

    is too many (though you can probably be forgiven for omitting the

    What's that got to do with it? You can find out what Poincar's paper
    was called by searching on the web. It takes abot 5 seconds. You can
    then copy-paste what you find. No knowledge of French is needed (though

    Just because Pizzaro savagely strangled the Inca King, you get all offended. Aside from your overstatements, it is true that the idea that science began in Ionian Greece is a myth, as shown by Robin Dunbar's book, The Trouble With Science. The science of
    archaeoastronomy was widespread, including knowledge of the difference between the sidereal and tropical years in Egypt, Stonehenge, and Chichen Itza long before Hipparchus. Now, "higher learning" institutions such as Harvard are teaching
    pseudoscientific nonsense like CRT and Postmodernism, which deny objective reality, as does relativity. Fortunately, we have Chinese scientists deconstructing relativity.

    As usual, you resort to straw man tactics. Mei Xiaochun does not base his criticisms on Marxist assumptions. It is relativity that is an ideology and not a science.

    I personally think, there exist a secret science, too, which is
    actually valid and well developed.

    What you call 'Western science' is just the stupidity fed to the masses,
    which prevents them from thinking themselves.

    This 'dual of real science' is in general: overly difficult, too
    materialistic, infiltrated with bullshit and pseudo-religious believes.

    The real science is only tought, if you have secrecy clearance and
    signed a non-disclosure agreement.

    Common mortals only get that 'bad stuff', what prevents them from making unwanted discoveries.

    Anecdote: Stalin didn't trust those scientists with their relativity at
    all. He was calmed down by the KGB chief, Beria, who said:
    "Let them do their thing first, we can always shoot them afterwards."
    Stalin didn't trust the army and the generals,

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution

    "In 1958, after China's first five-year plan, Mao called for "grassroots socialism" in order to accelerate his plans for turning China into a
    modern industrialized state. In this spirit, Mao launched the Great Leap Forward, established people's communes in the countryside, and began the
    mass mobilization of the people into collectives. Many communities were assigned production of a single commodity—steel. Mao vowed to increase agricultural production to twice that of 1957 levels.[11]

    The Great Leap was an economic failure. Many uneducated farmers were
    pulled from farming and harvesting and instead instructed to produce
    steel on a massive scale, partially relying on backyard furnaces to
    achieve the production targets set by local cadres. The steel produced
    was of low quality and mostly useless. The Great Leap reduced harvest
    sizes and led to a decline in the production of most goods except
    substandard pig iron and steel. Furthermore, local authorities
    frequently exaggerated production numbers, hiding and intensifying the
    problem for several years.[12][13]: 25–30 

    In the meantime, chaos in the collectives, bad weather, and exports of
    food necessary to secure hard currency resulted in the Great Chinese
    Famine. Food was in desperate shortage, and production fell
    dramatically. The famine caused the deaths of more than 30 million
    people, particularly in the more impoverished inland regions.[14] "


    Overall, the head-count of Mao was almost a hundred million, what is a historical record.

    So, you could not possibly call Mao a nice guy.

    Next in the list of shitheads came 'Stalin', who slaughtered a little less.

    That is correct. English can be very subtle at times with definitions,
    which is why it can be so difficult for non-English speaking people to
    learn. In this case "good Maoist" does mean someone faithful to and
    believing the teachings of Mao, and definitely does not have the meaning
    of "not bad" or "not evil" which would make the phrase contradictory.

    Getting away from the (real) faults of English, and back to the point
    "Mao holds actually the (current)
    all-time-record for mass murder," it is certainly true that many people
    during Mao's time, but most of y deaths cannot be called murder. Mostly
    they were a consequence of incompetent management of the Great Leap
    Forward. To take a more recent example (on a much smaller scale), Anne
    Sacoolas didn't murder Harry Dunn: he died as a result of her
    incompetence and inattention.

    Manslaughter, then. He's one of the top three record holders, at least.

    Under U.S. law, he's guilty of murder in the third degree. I don't know
    if that category exists in Europe.

    That is correct. English can be very subtle at times with definitions, which is why it can be so difficult for non-English speaking people to learn. In this case "good Maoist" does mean someone faithful to and believing the teachings of Mao, and definitely does not have the
    meaning of "not bad" or "not evil" which would make the phrase contradictory.

    Getting away from the (real) faults of English, and back to the point
    "Mao holds actually the (current)
    all-time-record for mass murder," it is certainly true that many people during Mao's time, but most of y deaths cannot be called murder. Mostly
    they were a consequence of incompetent management of the Great Leap
    Forward.

    And even that is questionable.
    Consider the situation when Mao took power:
    China had a huge and rapidly growing population,
    and almost all of that population was engaged in highly labor-intensive
    and low-productivity agriculture.
    Industial production was next to nothing by comparison.
    (and most of what little there had been before WWII
    was destroyed by the Japanese, who also killed off the skilled labour)
    On top of the miseries of WWII, which was as bad as WWII in the West,
    they had a civil war following it.
    The nearly complete boycot of the USA and its allies
    after the civil war was over didn't help either.
    Starvation was already the rule in much of China before Mao took over.
    Mao's China was obviously in a non-sustainable situation,
    and something drastic had to be done about it.

    Let those who say 'mass murder' explain
    what -they- would have done about it,
    given the disastrous situation the country was in,
    and how that would have worked out better.

    The communist party (and not just Mao personally) no doubt
    made some bad mistakes in managing the transition,
    but not with the intention of killing off masses of people.
    It could at worst be a charge of mass manslaughter through incompetence.

    As for the collective madness aspects: was it really much worse
    than the partisan infighting that we are seeing nowadays in the US of A?
    The only redeeming aspect of it is that they have two crazy parties
    insted of just one. (but the communist party had its factions too)

    To take a more recent example (on a much smaller scale), Anne
    Sacoolas didn't murder Harry Dunn: he died as a result of her
    incompetence and inattention.

    Indeed, an unfortunate accident. I have done just the same,
    but I was lucky in that no motorcyclist was coming.

    This is one of the most dangerous situations in driving in England:
    coming out of an hotel parking lot, and turning onto the public road.
    (and remembering in time to start driving on the left)

    Well, maybe you are right.

    But as far as I can tell, the Soviet Shithead named (himself) 'Stalin'
    had the intention to kill.

    He stole the crops in the Ukraine with the intention to starve the
    Ukrainians to death.

    Or :soldiers were executed, who refused to fight and moved backwards,
    when German tanks approached and they didn't even had a gun.

    He also killed returning prisoners (Soviet citicens!) of war, after the
    British returned them by force in Bleiburg to the Soviets.

    Masses of people were murdered in the Gulags for political reason and
    without any reason at all and many of them at the order of the dictator.

    Also most of the refugees from Germany were killed, who fleed Nazi
    Germany and took refuge in Moscow.

    Also most of the German prisoners of war were killed after WWII.

    Latvia for instance had a population of 4 million and about 800,000 died
    in the prisons in Siberia.

    And that goes an on and on and on.

    So possibly Stalin was worse than Mao (at least a little).

    Not the same person as Mao, so what does your diatribe have to do with
    Jan's points?

    As for Stalin, maybe he wanted to practise Christian love as taught to
    him during his five years in a seminary training to be a priest. You
    can call him Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili if you like (and don't
    care about being understood) but Stalin is easier to say and what
    everyone does say.

    He stole the crops in the Ukraine with the intention to starve the
    Ukrainians to death.

    Or :soldiers were executed, who refused to fight and moved backwards,
    when German tanks approached and they didn't even had a gun.

    had the intention to kill.

    Not the same person as Mao, so what does your diatribe have to do with
    Jan's points?

    As for Stalin, maybe he wanted to practise Christian love as taught to
    him during his five years in a seminary training to be a priest. You can
    call him Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili if you like (and don't care
    about being understood) but Stalin is easier to say and what everyone
    does say.


    Besides of that Stalin was trained by a guy named Gurdjev in obscure
    rituals.

    It is also assumed, that Winston Churchill organised a training exercise
    in London especially for Mr. Djugashvilli, called 'Sidney Street Siege'.

    Unless I've missed it, there doesn't seem to have been a reply to this question. Surely even Thomas Heger must know that Stalin and Mao were

    That makes total sense to me, because Jenny Jerome (Winston's mother)
    belonged to the harem of 'Bertie the swinger' (later King Edward VII).

    Bertie was most likely father of tons of children and had to take care
    for them in one way or the other.

    In the case of Winston he had ordered a Lord Randolph Churchill to marry
    Jenny Jerome.

    Both of the parents had no real interest in young Winston, hence he
    develeoped a very sinister view of life.


    Sidney Street Siege as trainings ground for 'Koba' (Jossif Djugashvilli)
    is possibly wrong.

    But Greg Hallets books were base on the confessions of a dying MI6
    top-level agent.

    So, possibly the stories are wrong and invented.

    But they are so full of details which make absolutely no sense inventing
    them. That made me think, they are actually correct.

    No, that was not my theory!


    My theory was, that the German version was a relatively poor translation
    from a text, which was origionally written in English.

    This conclusion came from a side-by-side comparison of the four English versions and the German version.

    Because I am a nativ speaker of German and speak English quite well (as
    a second language) I could find subtle inconsitencies in the
    translations, which only make sense, if one of the four English versions
    would be the actual original.


    The Huxleys came in from a different inquiry:

    there was a guy from New Sealand named Greg Hallet, who wrote a book
    'Hitler was a British agent'.

    My aim was now to find the real name of the Englishmen, who posed as the 'Fuehrer'.

    I found Noel Trevenen Huxley would fit.

    The reasons for this conclusion are a bit longish and difficult, hence I
    would not bother you with that story.

    This comparison is difficult and annying, but let me do it once more
    just for you:


    (This is a random pick. but you could see the same pattern at all over
    the place).

    ---------------------------------------------------

    Vol II, Chapter I, German edition
    Jeden Morgen begibt sich der Herr Volksvertreter in das Hohe Haus, und
    wenn schon nicht ganz hinein, so doch wenigstens bis in den Vorraum, in
    dem die Anwesenheitslisten auf liegen. Im angreifenden Dienste für das
    Volk trägt er dort seinen Namen ein und nimmt als wohlverdienten Lohn
    eine kleine Entschädigung für diese fortgesetzten zermürbenden
    Anstrengungen entgegen.

    Vol II, Chapter I, Page 268 Notide edition
    Morning after morning the honourable deputy wends his way to the House,
    and though he may not enter the Chamber itself he gets at least as far
    as the front hall, where he will find the register on which the names of
    the deputies in attendance have to be inscribed. As a part of his
    onerous service to his constituents he enters his name, and in return
    receives a small indemnity as a well-earned reward for his unceasing and exhausting labours.

    Paternoster Library edition page 147
    Once the Elections are over the Member-who is elected for five years -
    goes each morning to the House, not perhaps right inside, but at any
    rate as far as the hall in which the attendance lists are placed.
    His fatiguing service in the people’s cause leads him to sign his name,
    and in return for this exhausting effort, daily repeated, he accepts a
    small honorarium as his well-earned reward.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    First: this describes a procedure unknown in Austria, but in the House
    of Commons in England.

    Second:. the paternoster library inserted ‚...elected for five years’, which wasn’t present in the German version.

    Third: the German word ‚angreifend’ is ‚twisted’ and very bad German. Better would have been ‚erschöpfend’ (as kind of ironic statement about the ‚exhausting’ work).

    fourth: 'diese fortgesetzten zermürbenden Anstrengungen' misses an 'und'
    or a comma. This is a rule in German, that a list of equally ranked
    items need either 'und' (and) or a comma. But this is the case because 'fortgesetzten' (continously) is not a qualifier to 'zermürbenden' (exhausting). That would be 'fortgesetzt' (repeatedly).
    The German sentence is actually twisted and also gramatically wrong.
    To translate the Geramn sentence is difficult, but would mean something
    like 'crunched repeatedly by efforts'.

    and so forth.... --------------------------------------------------------------------


    Now it would not make sense to alter the German version in the sense of
    'to beautify' it, because Germany was at that time the enemy in a way
    and the author the leader of that enemy.

    So, it would not make much sense, if a translation attempted to make the origional version better than it actuially was (better: wasn't).

    Sure, because the 'Fuehrer' was actually not Hitler.

    My assumption was, that Noel Trevenen Huxley posed as 'Fuehrer', while
    the Brits faked his suicide (to make his disapperance plausible).

    This hypothesis was meant as an extension to the book 'Hitler was a
    British Agent' by Greg Hallet.

    The book 'My Struggle' wasn't written by Hitler, anyhow, because Hess
    and other comrades in the Coup d'etat of 1923 wrote with a typewriter in Landsberg prison.

    The question was, whether or not the source was written in English and
    the inmates of Landsberg translated that into German, or the 'Fuehrer'
    dictated this text (as 'Great Dictator').

    the presence of Hitler in Landsberg is only 'prooven' by a photo, which violates all know facts about prisons and human anatomy:

    For instance:

    how many prisons put flowers on the dining table of the inmates?

    And why are the inmates allowed to wear their own private leather trousers?

    And why did they wear them in the first place?

    And how aboute lutes?
    What kind of liberal punishment allows such intruments?

    The other issue is the impossible position of all the heads.

    They look all slightly off any possible position, that a human being
    could hold the head.

    they look all like glued in place, what they most likely are.

    The German version is VERY hard to read.

    This is in parts caused by its sinister content, but mainly because of
    its bad German language.

    Its so hard to read, because it contains many 'twisted' expressions,
    which are unusual and difficult to interpret.

    Therefore, after a few page you fall asleep, if you try to read this book.

    The English version of Paternoster Library is far better written and has
    a high degree of linguistic quality.

    The text is also shorter than the German version and has slight
    differences in the content.

    Now my question:

    how could the publisher 'beautify' the text, while leaving out longish
    passages and adding a few parts, which were not present in the German version'??

    This would not be possible at all, if it were in fact a translation of
    the German version!


    So, how about the opposite direction?

    That would in fact be possible, because in this case all pieces of the
    puzzle would have an explanation:

    the text itself originated from unknows source, but was written in
    English by a skilled writer.

    The comrades in Landsberg translated the text (possibly with the aid of
    Hitler) into German and typed it into their maschine.

    they added a few parts, which were therefor not present in the English
    version.

    And since style and humor of a sophisticated English text are hard to
    translate into German, the text in German is so hard to read.

    In case that anyone still had doubts about fakery in this picture: let
    me give you some hints to convince you.

    1) Look at the table.

    2) Look at the left side of the table cloth, hanging down in front of
    Hitler's knees.

    3) Ask yourself the question, what actually blocks the sight below the
    table to Hitler's legs ?

    4) this is a rectangular object with strange features.

    What actually is it?

    To me it seems to be some kind of studio equipment, like a flat lens or
    a filter.


    Or just look a Hitler's head and ask yourself the question, where Hitler
    had put his neck.

    This particular photo was such an extremely bad fake, because it shows
    actual scissor cuts around the heads, where the photos of the heads were
    cut out from other photos.

    These cut-outs look like being glued to a picture, which was apparently
    meant to depict typical Bavarian lifestyle.

    That was blatant bullshit, because typical Bavarian lifestyle looked
    certainly different than how life in prison looked like.

    So, even if Landsberg prison was a 'better' one, it was still a prison
    and not a hotel.

    Therefore the inmates wore prison clothes, had no private dining rooms,
    didn't have a lute, didn't have flowers and disk-cloth put on their
    tables and so forth.

    So: what did the creators of this nonsense actually want?

    Well, apparently they were trying to serve a cliche about Germany and
    kind of mock Bavarian lifestyle.

    But this picture was used in 'My struggle' in the English versions.

    This is bad for the assumption of authenticy of this book, because proof
    of fakery in this photo inevitably destroys the credibility of this book.

    No, that was not my theory!


    My theory was, that the German version was a relatively poor
    translation from a text, which was origionally written in English.

    How is that different from what Jan said?

    This conclusion came from a side-by-side comparison of the four English versions and the German version.

    Because I am a nativ speaker of German and speak English quite well (as
    a second language) I could find subtle inconsitencies in the
    translations, which only make sense, if one of the four English
    versions would be the actual original.

    Examples?

    The Huxleys came in from a different inquiry:

    there was a guy from New Sealand named Greg Hallet, who wrote a book 'Hitler was a British agent'.

    Have a look at https://kingjohnthethird.uk/ to be convinced that Greg
    Hallett is a crackpot.

    I see a similar kind of person in another forum.
    Whatever the stick is, he invariably and consistently manages
    to get the wrong end of it.
    Like our TH, he is quite reliable,
    like a compass that always points away from the true North.
    Wherever he points is the wrong way.

    I don't know how he does it, but some people seem to have that talent,

    Possibly.


    Look at this picture again:

    https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/Hitler%2C_Maurice%2C_Kriebel%2C_Hess%2C_Weber%2C_prison_de_Landsberg_en_1924.jpg/786px-Hitler%2C_Maurice%2C_Kriebel%2C_Hess%2C_Weber%2C_prison_de_Landsberg_en_1924.jpg

    In the lower left corner we can see a rectangular object, which covers
    parts of Hitler's right leg and parts of the table cloth.

    As we can safely assume, that Hitler had a right leg, this something
    does in fact cover the sight to that leg, which is therefore only
    partially visible.

    What we do see instead is a shadowy female left hand, which hovers
    over/in front of that object.

    For this observation exists an explanation, which could possibly involve
    Disney studios.

    (I don't mean, that Disney was involved, but that such a possiblity
    would exist)

    My explanation for this rectangular object goes like this:

    If this photo was in fact a montage, we need to skip back in time to
    that era.

    This picture was made in 1923 (or nearby) and is therefor almost exactly
    100 years old.

    The technology used in photomontage didn't use Photoshop(TM) or similar, because that era was long before the advent of computers.

    Instead 'photoshopping' was done in real: cutouts, spray-painting, razor erasing and so forth.

    And if you liked to cover a piece of a picture with unwanted details,
    you need to paint something directly on it or on an extra sheet of
    paper, which is possibly a photo itself.

    This sheet was placed upon an underlying picture and the entire montage
    was reproduced with a large specialised camera by a specialised and
    skilled operator.

    Now this woman (to which the shaddowy arm and hand belonged), was
    apparently small and untrained, but opperated a professional machine,
    like those used in animation studios.

    As she wanted to release the shutter of that reproduction camera, she
    placed her left hand on that cover sheet and pushed it, unintentionally,
    a little upwards, because she was leaning on her left hand, while
    adjusting the focus and releasing the shutter.

    (This would only be an assumption, but is consistent with the evidence,
    which is this particular photo.)

    From the size of the hand we can draw a conclusion about the size of
    the used machine, which had to be table-sized and belonged to the
    professional realm, that was used in animation studios.

    But apparently the makers of this picture were not skilled enough to
    keep their hand away from that table, were the montage rested while
    being photographed.

    So a female hand is vilible on a photograph from Landsberg prison (where
    it should not belong), which is also held in a very akward angle,
    supposed the person would sit in front of this set of people.

    But the angle would be consistent with a person leaning on a table with
    a montage, while doing something with the right hand (like e.g.
    releasing the shutter).

    Now this woman (to which the shaddowy arm and hand belonged), was
    apparently small and untrained, but opperated a professional machine,
    like those used in animation studios.

    As she wanted to release the shutter of that reproduction camera, she
    placed her left hand on that cover sheet and pushed it, unintentionally,
    a little upwards, because she was leaning on her left hand, while
    adjusting the focus and releasing the shutter.

    (This would only be an assumption, but is consistent with the evidence,
    which is this particular photo.)

    From the size of the hand we can draw a conclusion about the size of
    the used machine, which had to be table-sized and belonged to the professional realm, that was used in animation studios.

    But apparently the makers of this picture were not skilled enough to
    keep their hand away from that table, were the montage rested while
    being photographed.

    So a female hand is vilible on a photograph from Landsberg prison (where
    it should not belong), which is also held in a very akward angle,
    supposed the person would sit in front of this set of people.

    But the angle would be consistent with a person leaning on a table with
    a montage, while doing something with the right hand (like e.g.
    releasing the shutter).

    Look at this picture again:

    In the lower left corner we can see a rectangular object, which covers
    parts of Hitler's right leg and parts of the table cloth.

    As we can safely assume, that Hitler had a right leg, this something
    does in fact cover the sight to that leg, which is therefore only
    partially visible.

    What we do see instead is a shadowy female left hand, which hovers
    over/in front of that object.

    For this observation exists an explanation, which could possibly
    involve Disney studios.

    (I don't mean, that Disney was involved, but that such a possiblity
    would exist)

    My explanation for this rectangular object goes like this:

    If this photo was in fact a montage, we need to skip back in time to
    that era.

    This picture was made in 1923 (or nearby) and is therefor almost
    exactly 100 years old.

    The technology used in photomontage didn't use Photoshop(TM) or
    similar, because that era was long before the advent of computers.

    Instead 'photoshopping' was done in real: cutouts, spray-painting,
    razor erasing and so forth.

    And if you liked to cover a piece of a picture with unwanted details,
    you need to paint something directly on it or on an extra sheet of
    paper, which is possibly a photo itself.

    This sheet was placed upon an underlying picture and the entire
    montage was reproduced with a large specialised camera by a
    specialised and skilled operator.

    Now this woman (to which the shaddowy arm and hand belonged), was
    apparently small and untrained, but opperated a professional machine,

    No, not really, because that era didn't have color photography.

    The picture in question is therefore only black and white.

    The detail under consideration (something in the lower left corner)
    didn't contain the eyes, neither.

    So, no colors of any eyes are visible in this piece of evidence.

    Ethnicity of that person isn't of any importance here, thou possibly interesting.

    We need to skip these questions therefore, because the photos cannot
    answer them.

    But what we can actually do is this: ask ourself the question, how this
    hand came into the picture and what was actually depicted.

    Other assumptions are certainly also possible.

    E.g. the hand could have belonged to a waitress, who brought a tray with beaverages or a skript girl, who was holding a book.

    Actually I don't know.

    Eventually the girl with the make-up had her fingers in the picture.

    But female hands with a script or a waitress with drinks do not really
    belong to a prison for male inmates, anyhow.

    I personally like the idea with a montage, because Hitler and his
    comrades had no (or twisted) necks.

    So my own bet would be, that an untrained (young and female) user of a professional repro-camera forgot to remove the left hand from the montage-table, while taking a reproduction picture.

    But that is only a guess.

    I found another detail, which would raise doubts about this picture:

    The person on the right of the picture smoked and wore a wedding ring.
    (As far as I know, rings were taken away from inmates, when they entered
    a prison).

    That person looks also very unconvincing, because the head does not fit
    to the body in size and direction of view.

    Also these Bavarian socks, a leather trouser and a 'Janker' (traditional Bavarian jacket) do not really fit to a prison.

    Hess was sitting on something unknown. That could be a bar stool or
    possibly on the knees of the fat man to the right.

    Over all, the picture looks like a collage, that was made by free-time
    artists or a group of students in a course called 'creativity training'.

    Sure. And no one ever claimed that Pythagoras

    The best that may be attributed to him (perhaps)
    is the discovery of the first general proof.
    (perhaps the 'Euclidean proof' of Pythagoras, by direct subdivision)

    And more importantly, Pythagoras may be the inventor

    The German version is VERY hard to read.

    This is in parts caused by its sinister content, but mainly because of
    its bad German language.

    Its so hard to read, because it contains many 'twisted' expressions,
    which are unusual and difficult to interpret.

    Therefore, after a few page you fall asleep, if you try to read this book.

    Translators have commented that translating the German was like driving
    them insane.

    So Hitler and those who wrote it down/initially edited used poor German.

    The English version of Paternoster Library is far better written and has
    a high degree of linguistic quality.

    The text is also shorter than the German version and has slight
    differences in the content.

    Looks like the translator took many liberties as well as trying to make
    it more sane.

    Now my question:

    how could the publisher 'beautify' the text, while leaving out longish passages and adding a few parts, which were not present in the German version'??

    As I said, the translator apparently took liberties. The English
    translations were 10 or more years after initial publication as well.

    This would not be possible at all, if it were in fact a translation of
    the German version!

    So we agree the translator took liberties.


    So, how about the opposite direction?

    That would in fact be possible, because in this case all pieces of the
    puzzle would have an explanation:

    the text itself originated from unknows source, but was written in
    English by a skilled writer.

    The German to English translator was skilled, yes, but not faithful to
    the German.

    The comrades in Landsberg translated the text (possibly with the aid of Hitler) into German and typed it into their maschine.

    But it was available in German for 10 years before the English versions.

    they added a few parts, which were therefor not present in the English version.

    For that to happen (in addition to the time travel) they'd have to add
    the gibbering nonsense.

    And since style and humor of a sophisticated English text are hard to translate into German, the text in German is so hard to read.

    Hard to read because Hitler and the early editors wrote a lot of gibberish.

    Interesting detail!

    But if I 'google' for 'Hitler in Landsberg prison' this picture pops up
    tons of times.

    So, if it was photographed prior to his trial, then why it is all the
    time attributed to Landsberg prison?

    And where in fact was it taken instead and for what reason?





    And there is no woman's hand to be seen.

    Well, possibly the hand belonged to a male.
    I do not really insist on 'female', but the hand looks like a female
    hand for me.

    Look carefully yourself and try to figure out, what that is, that was photographed in the lower left corner of the picture.

    To me it looks like the left hand of a (very!) stupid female operator of
    a professional reproduction camera, who unitentionally photographed her
    left hand, while releasing the shutter with the right hand.

    The setup would be_

    a montage was made, where the heads of Hitler and comrades were placed
    on a large silver-gelatine print of something assumed to be typical German.

    (what was in fact not typical German, but typical Bavarian).

    The montage was table sized and reproduced with a reproduction camera
    like those used in animation studios to generate the final product.

    As the pieces were not glued together, the operator slid a piece of the
    montage (unintentionally) a littel upwards when leaning on the left hand
    and made the additional error to photograph the own hand.

    Another hint could be the blur, which means usually a difference in
    focus or a movement within exposure time.

    Here the blur suggests a significant difference in distance between
    blurred objects and focussed objects.

    From the amount of blur we need to consider something huge and a place
    of that hand near the camera and a distant scene (photographed with a tele-lens).

    But that would conflict with the size of the knees and the hands of the
    man to the right of the picture, which are totally in focus, because
    being e.g. half the distance to the camera would require four times the
    size of the blurred hand compared to the sharp lower legs of the man,
    what isn't the case.

    So the hand cannot be photographed together with the Bavarian scene.

    This translation was extended a little bit, hence had more content than

    It also didn't have the style and liguistic quality of it and was
    therefore hard to read.

    From that German version three different English translations were made.

    So, overall four English versions were written, while one was the
    origional, from which the German version was derived.


    Why the British had published the origional is actually beyond me.

    I can only explain it by hybris.

    The German version is VERY hard to read.

    This is in parts caused by its sinister content, but mainly because of
    its bad German language.

    Its so hard to read, because it contains many 'twisted' expressions,
    which are unusual and difficult to interpret.

    Therefore, after a few page you fall asleep, if you try to read this
    book.

    Translators have commented that translating the German was like driving
    them insane.

    So Hitler and those who wrote it down/initially edited used poor German.


    My assumption was, that the text published by Paternoster Library was
    the actual original, while the German version was a poor translation
    from that.


    I think the nonexistence of time travel rules that out completely.

    Yes, and it rules out the idea it was taken in prison after his conviction.

    But if I 'google' for 'Hitler in Landsberg prison' this picture pops up
    tons of times.

    So, if it was photographed prior to his trial, then why it is all the

    Do you even know how Google works? All that means is that articles
    discussing Hitler's imprisonment, the Putsch or Hitler in general (such
    as Wikipedia) also used that photograph, and since it was taken shortly
    before the trial it was probably close to the text about imprisonment.
    That's all it means.

    And where in fact was it taken instead and for what reason?

    I'm sure the reason was that Hitler and his buddies wanted a group
    photograph. Where? I think it is very safe to say it was not in a
    prison. Likely one of the homes of those in the photograph.

    Well, possibly the hand belonged to a male.

    There is no hand, male or female, to be seen! Other than those seated at

    Look carefully yourself and try to figure out, what that is, that was photographed in the lower left corner of the picture.

    It's blurry but appears to be a table or similar, with a blurry book on

    To me it looks like the left hand of a (very!) stupid female operator of
    a professional reproduction camera, who unitentionally photographed her

    I certainly know how Stalin and Lenin looked like, even if they are long
    dead.

    But Stalin was also involved in fakery at his own time and got opponents removed from certain photos.

    Lenin was earlier, but certainly his pictures were doctored, too.

    But I was talking about the German dictator known as 'Hitler'.

    I personally don't think, that guy was really Hitler, but a British spy
    with the real name Noel Trevenen Huxley.

    Among the many reasons was one photo made of Hitler in 1st of August
    1914, when Hitler attended the 'celebration' of WWI on the Odeons Square
    in Munich.

    That was an obvious fake, because the real Hitler had very long beard
    tips a few weeks later, while the guy in Munich had his typical square moustache.

    So; who faked and what????

    Hitlers friend Heinrich Hoffman was his photographer and known to have
    faked a lot of pictures, including the one from Odeons Platz.

    But possibly this picture was authentic and the person itself was a fake.

    Here I had the picture from the Landsberg prison, which was used in some versions of 'My Struggle' (allegedly written in Landsberg by that person).

    But I wanted to prove, that Hitler could not possibly have written these
    books, because they look like a translation from the English language.

    They are also way to complicated from its content, because the real
    Hitler was a school dropout and lived in an homeless shelter, until he
    went to war in WWI.

    After that he recovered in Beelitz Heilsttten and another hospital in Brandenburg from mustard gas injury.

    But when did he read Spinoza and the other philosophers, which he needed
    to write these books (which are also a little too long for the six month
    in prison he had allegedly been there)???

    So we have reasons to believe, the picture of Hitler in Landsberg were
    all faked and he had never been there for a day.

    (btw: the pictures from Beelitz Heilsttten look staged, too, because
    one of his comrades from Munich prior to the war show up after the war
    on that picture in the same hospital as Hitler. That is highly unlikely, because the usual survival time for soldiers at the western front was
    only two weeks and between beginn and end of WW I were four years).

    So, look at the picture again and lets find out, what is evidence for
    fakery and possibly who had made it.

    I personally think, the blurry hand is resting on a glass sheet, which
    is used in animation film production to place cutouts above the
    animation drawings.

    The animation itself is flat and in focus, while the camara takes
    pictures through one or more layers of glass, where foreground objects
    are usually placed.

    Therefore the person touched a rectangular forground layer object, which
    was meant to cover the floor (thats why it contains a piece of the
    pattern of the table cloth).

    This layer is closer to the camera, hence blurry.

    In a real picture, where a scene is taken in one exposure, the
    blurryness bilds a continum, which corresponds which distance to the
    camera (more close means: more blurry) and has to do with lense type and apperture.

    But we have a continously sharp scene, which is therefor made with a
    wide angle lense and closed apperture, while the reproduction camera had
    a long focal length and a wide apperture.

    So the blur of the hand would suggest, that two different lenses were
    involved, hence would prove a montage.

    Look at the picture AGAIN:

    https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/Hitler%2C_Maurice%2C_Kriebel%2C_Hess%2C_Weber%2C_prison_de_Landsberg_en_1924.jpg/786px-Hitler%2C_Maurice%2C_Kriebel%2C_Hess%2C_Weber%2C_prison_de_Landsberg_en_1924.jpg

    Look at the lower left corner and the blurry hand, which is holding
    something.

    Now this hand is actually a PROOF, that this picture is 'doctored'.

    You need to try to locate that hand in the scence, by trying to assume,
    at which location in space that hand was placed.

    Now you cannot, because the size, lighting, shadow and blur cannot be
    put into a consistent location within your mental representation of the
    scene.

    This causes a certain mental state called 'cognitive dissonance',
    because the brain tries to make sense out of some parts of a picture,
    which do not make sense.

    This very feeling is a hint by the brain, that something is wrong.


    Now think about this emotion and its possible roots.

    You will find:

    the hand is too blurry for the apparent position.

    So you need to tell your brain: that background scene is flat and two-dimensional and the hand is hovering above something lying flat on a
    table.

    Than you can actually see the reproduction machine in operation.
    (which is very similar to these 3D-pictures, which consist of apparently
    random patterns)

    The version of Paternoster Library was printed in the early 1930th.

    More likely is, that it was way older and written prior or within WWI.

    I personally would have had the text written with as much historical

    But the descriptions of war in 'My Struggle' were very wage and hardly

    No, you are ASSUMING that. Assumptions are not evidence.

    You would have to assume the English version was written before WW1
    (were the translators/"authors" old enough then?), then hidden away
    completely, except once, when translated into German around 1924, before
    being revealed in the 1930s. Fails Occam's Razor.

    My reason to think so: WWI was mentioned, but the text was VERY wage
    with historical details.

    How vague(?) was it? Did it get the belligerents, locations correct?

    I personally would have had the text written with as much historical

    camera (more close means: more blurry) and has to do with lense type and
    apperture.

    But we have a continously sharp scene, which is therefor made with a
    wide angle lense and closed apperture, while the reproduction camera had
    a long focal length and a wide apperture.

    So the blur of the hand would suggest, that two different lenses were
    involved, hence would prove a montage.


    Look at the picture AGAIN:

    Look at the lower left corner and the blurry hand, which is holding something.

    There. Is. No. Hand. In. The. Corner.


    Now this hand is actually a PROOF, that this picture is 'doctored'.

    There. Is. No. Hand. In. The. Corner.

    Well, the shape is imho that of a female left hand.

    You can see this at the relatively steep angle between arm and hand,
    what males cannot do.

    Wemen have the ability to stretch their joints further than males can,
    hence the hand should belong to a women.

    Also the fingers are quite slim and longish.

    The view is on the left hand from the side, where you can see the thumb
    and a stretched out forefinger.

    But eventually the shape belongs to some other object.

    That is a question of debate. But I see a female left hand.

    Assumptions are a very important part of the scientific method and
    science without assumptions is not science.


    In any situation, where you try to find out something, you need to make estimates about the possible solutions.

    Then you examine your assumptions and select those, which are promising.

    Then you redo the step of factfinding on the background of your best assumptions and derive new assumptions, which could aqgain be evaluated.

    Now you iterate seeveral times this process and will inevitably find out something valid.

    It is a fact that you see a hand? Sure. The human mind is "wired" to
    recognize certain things that aren't there. Take a yellow circle with
    two black dots in it and a curved black line. 🙂 Voila! A smiley face!
    No, the mind is wired to recognize faces, it's just a yellow circle with
    black marks. And you see a hand where there is no hand.

    Anyway, that photo was taken before Hitler went on trial, so it's not
    from any prison.

    No.

    For almost all of my life I had photography as a hobby. I had a
    darkroom, own numerous cameras and had a few exhibitions of my pictures.

    I have a lot of training in this realm and can certainly see, how a
    picture was made.

    Here I assumed a montage, because the content of the picture is total
    nonsense to beginn with.

    Also the montage itself is visible. E.g. the head and the body allegedly depicting Hitler do not fit together and you can see a thin white rim
    around the head.

    This alone would be evidence enough, but actually there is much more.

    This hand shows now tremendous stupidity of the fakers of this picture,
    because to photograph the own hand in the reproduction of a montage
    requires just that.

    Yes, that is so. And Joe Schizophrenic hears voices which nobody can

    seeing whether anyone else can hear the voices or see the hand. So far,
    nobody other than yourself sees the hand.

    overactive imagination and leap onto conspiracy theories)

    Well, seeing is a quite subjective experience.

    And my claim was:

    I can see a blurry female left hand in the lower left corner of this picture:

    This is a personal impression, which you cannot possibly dispute,
    because you cannot see into my head.

    Yes, that is so. And Joe Schizophrenic hears voices which nobody can dispute,

    Are those the ones telling him that setting to 9 192 631 774
    is setting to 9 192 631 770?

    ..
    I CAN SEE a hand there!!!

    You need to look yourself.

    The hand has a very strange angle, as if a person (standing
    perpendicular to the picture, hence has a body-axis pointing towards the
    lower left) would lean on the montage, but a little above on a glass
    plate (that's why it is blurry).

    This would be consistent with a really stupid female operator, who made
    a reproduction of a montage, which was very large (table sized) and
    reproduced it with a professional repro system, similar to those used in animation studios.


    This would be my interpretation of the picture and its origin.

    If you don't agree, than please tell me yours.


    (I don't think you are schizophrenic, of course, you just have an

    Well, that's actually true to some extent, because I have created dozens

    Usualy I prefer terms like 'musings about the activities of spooks',
    but 'conspiracy theories' is more often used.

    Yes, you see a hand there.

    Nobody else does, so far.

    I did. There is no hand there.

    The hand has a very strange angle, as if a person (standing
    perpendicular to the picture, hence has a body-axis pointing towards the lower left)  would lean on the montage, but a little above on a glass

    a reproduction of a montage, which was very large (table sized) and reproduced it with a professional repro system, similar to those used in animation studios.

    All that nonsense about the reproduction of a large montage is just
    made-up nonsense, and does not follow, even if you allow for the
    imagined hand.


    This would be my interpretation of the picture and its origin.

    And the origin is just made up, there are many other explanations, even
    if there was a hand present.

    If you don't agree, than please tell me yours.

    I already told you. It is likely a piece of furniture with a book and
    either a sheet of paper or a second book in the extreme foreground
    (hence blurry), perhaps it was a camera with a timer on the furniture,
    to allow a picture to be taken with everyone present in the picture
    (nobody pressing the button).


    (I don't think you are schizophrenic, of course, you just have an
    overactive imagination and leap onto conspiracy theories)


    Well, that's actually true to some extent, because I have created dozens
    of 'conspiracy theories'.

    Usualy I prefer terms like  'musings about the activities of spooks',
    but 'conspiracy theories' is more often used.

    You need to be more careful about what to believe with little evidence.

    Spooks always deny everything!

    They will NEVER admit ANYTHING, even if you have proof enough to bring
    two dozen usual criminals to justice.

    They also try to remove all traces, hence you need to look for evidence
    which the 'cleaner teams' had overlooked.

    That's why it's a little difficult and you need to look very carefully.

    So, it would not make much sense, if a translation attempted to >>>>>>>>> make

    ...or Hitler just wasn't very good at German grammar.

    as a painter).


    The German version is VERY hard to read.

    This is in parts caused by its sinister content, but mainly
    because of
    its bad German language.

    Its so hard to read, because it contains many 'twisted' expressions, >>>>>> which are unusual and difficult to interpret.

    Therefore, after a few page you fall asleep, if you try to read this >>>>>> book.

    Translators have commented that translating the German was like
    driving
    them insane.

    So Hitler and those who wrote it down/initially edited used poor
    German.


    My assumption was, that the text published by Paternoster Library was
    the actual original, while the German version was a poor translation
    from that.


    I think the nonexistence of time travel rules that out completely.

    [snip rest as irrelevant]


    I have no idea, where timetravel was needed for my assumption.

    The version of Paternoster Library was printed in the early 1930th.

    And the German version was published in the mid 1920s.

    But this would not require at all, that the text was written in the 30th.

    More likely is, that it was way older and written prior or within WWI.

    No, you are ASSUMING that. Assumptions are not evidence.

    Sure.

    But assumptions are part of the scientific method.

    this method starts with examining evidence (which in this case were the translations and the origional of the book ',my struggle').

    Then you make up you mind and formulate a hypothesis, which could
    eventually fit to the evidence.

    This could be repeated several times, with creation of several different hypthesises.

    Then you sort out and chose the best finding and present that to the public.

    Then others could attack your assumption.

    And the remainder of your assumptions, which nobody could defeat is
    called a theory.


    Therefor the creation of assumptions is a very important part of science.

    Without an idea, where to look and what to do, you can't do nothing.
