Did anyone hear have trouble because of their wit?
by Band on the Run ini don't recall self depracation or witty remarks within the witnesses.
everything was always so heavy.
i suspect that a person with wit, despecially dry wit, would find themselve in trouble.

Interesting Quote from Adolph Hitler in MEIN kAMPF
by Band on the Run in"the aim of propaganda is not to try to pass judgment on conflicting rights, giving each its due, but exclusively to empahsixe the right which we are asserting.
propaganda must not investigate the truth objectively and, in so far as it is favorable to the other side, present it according to the theoretical rules of justice; yet it must present only that aspect of the truth which is favourable to its own side...... the broad masses of the people are not made up of diplomats or professors of public jurisprudence nor simply of persons who are able to form a reasoned judgment in given cases, but a vacillating crowd of human children who are constantly waveering between one idea and another....the masses are not in a position to discern where the enemy's fault ends and where our own begins..... the great majority of a nation is so feminine in its character and outlook that its thought and conduct are ruled by sentiment rather than by sober reasoning.
this sentiment, however, is not complex,but simple and consistent.

My View and Bobby Dylan's View of AntiWatchtower Special Groups
by Band on the Run inmy computer crashed so i am not fully informed of the recent antiwatchtower organization.

Scholarship
