DUers, Help Me Pull The File On An Online Conspiracy Enthusiast

[Plaid Adder]

This Michael Hoffman II guy:

Have any of you guys encountered him before? It's clear to me that he's kind of a crackpot, but what I'm curious to know is whether he's a right-wing crackpot or a left-wing crackpot. Anyone want to give me the 411 on the man who's riding the "cutting edge of conspiracy research"?

Thanks in advance,

The Plaid Adder

2. At a quick glance, looks like your basic down-home racist

"Your source for suppressed information on Judaism's strange gods, secret societies and psychological warfare and radical history."

" 'Revisionist history consists in the art of discerning fraud and the courage to publicly strip illusion, even when the whole world is clamoring violently for it.' "

" Read Hoffman's "They Were White and They Were Slaves" and discover:
* How the British government was "legally" able to take children from their parents.
* "Whippings (of White slaves) were commonplace...as were iron collars and chains."
* Many other facts about white slaves they forgot to tell you in history class."

5. "They were white and they were slaves"

This must refer to the British Home Children program, where, and please correct me if my details are off, the British goverment basically sold off orphans to be used as labor. I think most of them went to Canada. Most of the kids were treated extremely poorly. It was a horrible thing for the government to do.

HOWEVER, as sad as I think it all is, I hate it when people use things like this as an example of racism. It doesn't make our own country's history of slavery any less appalling. It's almost as if people like the author are saying that we've made too much of a big deal about slavery, because white people had it tough too.

7. Thanks everyone!

Thanks to you, I have educated a number of people about the dangers of citing an internet source without doing a background check first.

Yay,
