Little known facts.
In regards to Ratko Mladic.
He was raised to the rank of general by Stjepan Mesic, the man who would become the 2nd president of Croatia.
He was a staunch communist. He would go around confiscating Chetnik insignia from soldiers, and wore a red star for almost a year, until he was forbidden from doing so by Karadzic.
The YPA (or JNA) was an army that was founded on war crimes it committed in WW2 and this doctrine would not change in this war. Officers on all sides in the conflict adhered to it.

When did the issue of Separation of Church and State become a topic for the western world? Was it the dawn of protestantism or the French Revolution, or some other time?

I know officially people point to it as something necessary to allow for religious freedom, but surely there's other reasons for adopting it, seeing as some pluralized societies allowed religious freedom even though the state itself was closely related to a specific religion.

When Deism, Freemasonry, agnosticism and atheism became a rival paradigm to Christianity.

around the 1700s i'd say.

gas chamber.jpg
949KB, 1317x2239px
I was watching some show about prisons on methods of execution, one of the methods (which aren't really used anymore) is gassing
It apparently is pretty complicated to do, set up, and maintain (which is why part of the reason it was phased out).

It got me thinking about the Holocaust which we learned about in school, and how they gassed people in masses. I guess kid me thought the gas came out of the shower head, or something, because I never really thought hard about it.

Well when I researched it (searched up how did the Holocaust gas chambers worked), I mainly found holocaust deniers and conspiracy theorists giving reasons how it was all fake.

I personally do not believe the Holocaust is fake (not just Jews were killed and forced to work in the concentration camps, but communists, POWs, and essentially anyone the Nazis didn't like), but I still don't understand how the gas chambers were really supposed to work.

How the gas chambers supposedly worked in the Holocaust was the dropped gas pellets from chimney holes in the roof into a shower room (which isn't sealed) and the doors (which don't look like traditional gas chamber doors, nor specifically air tight) were locked.

I don't understand how they are able to get the gas out without pumps (so they can cremate and move the bodies without getting gassed/poisoned themselves)

I don't think dropping gas pellets from the ceiling is much of a safe way of gassing as a "gasser?", I mean, what if it is windy, wouldn't it blow in your face before you
closed the chimney lid?

And the doors not looking like gas chamber doors.

Can someone link a non conspiracy article on the workings of gas chambers during the Holocaust or an explanation? Thanks.

(also I just found this relevant pic 5 minutes ago, I don't believe the doors were wood initially, I am sure they were replaced. I mean why aren't the doors round/bulbed? like the other ones. I think it is for pressure or something).

Gas chambers are a myth like the skin lampshades and Jewish soap bars.

Not even a holocaust denier. but it's clear to see that elements of it are falsified.
Didn't Simon Wiesenthal come out recently and claim that he falsified the 5 million non-Jewish death toll for the holocaust? I'm surprised nobody actually investigated to make sure that claim was valid to begin with.
>>
Holocaust wasn't real, jewish race&fate (originally gone extinct during middle-ages) was reinvented in 1945 as an excuse to execute most of Germany's leaderships.
>>
>>2500086
You mean this http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v13/v13n3p-9_Staff.html

But what about all the other claims? And documentaries, history books and films. Seems like a mass conspiracy, which is weird to say. Like I mean when will these exaggerations be corrected in history books (if ever).

But to be honest I kind of enjoyed watching Holocaust documenteries in schools as a kid. Better than doing actual work.

Have people become more loose with their words in recent times? Not only loose but uncontrolled?

When you read ancient texts and books and documents, people seem to be very formal in all of their dealings, even with peasants, like they have total control over what they will say next and what communication means.

But people today will talk so. much. bullshit. If you can't manage verbal diarrhea then it means something is wrong with you. The only control people have today is the desire to appear "cool" which involves consumerism and groupthink as opposed to wise answers and virtuous living.
