The truth is: a link with a time reference to when the Mein Kampf reprinting would take place was contained within the first sentence of the article.
I didn’t catch it the first read through. I don’t normally click automatically on links within an article. However, by not doing so, I was left with an open question of when this reprinting took place. Perhaps we were discussing something that happened ten years ago? I didn’t know. That was not necessarily the author’s fault for not dating his material in an obvious manner, but also the (this) reader’s fault for not taking the time to read the links provided.

Thank you :) It's funny, looking for dates has always been automatic...never thought about why I did it until you asked for one and khaling was curious as to why.

I realized I also go on autopilot and, if no date is provided, see if I can discover one from clues in article. If I can't find a date I then decide the importance of knowing relative to the subject presented. When I thought about it, I realized I often "discard" undated files from memory ( I have, since I was a kid, thought of the brain as a file cabinet...complete with a circular file)!

Thank you to you and khaling for waking up my mind on this one. Never gave the process active thought before. :)

Enjoy the Gulch because it often makes me think about how I think.:)

galagal --Yeah, that’s why I would have liked the date. I like a frame of reference. One train of thought leads to others.

I’m so glad I scrolled down to read your reply. You said everything I would have said-- had I been able to say it as well.

You can ‘speak’ for me anytime. :)

Mein Kampf was suppressed in the Soviet Union and the bleeding heart socialists want to suppress it everywhere. Because they're afraid that the masses will follow Hitler's teaching? As if Stalin was afraid of the Soviet masses all of a sudden falling in love with Hitler? Unlikely. What the socialists are afraid of is that the common man, if he were to read Mein Kampf himself, without the interpretation and pre-digestion by the Party leaders, may come to the logical conclusion that Mein Kampf is a logical continuation of Das Kapital.

At the bottom there is a URL. In it, the first part of what made up the article we are discussing, was apparently published on March 12 (year not given, but likely 2015.

The way to avoid certain diseases (such as small-
pox) is not to hide from everybody and become a
hermit, but to be introduced to a mild form of such
disease (in the form of a vaccination), and thereby
to acquire immunity. Thus, perhaps, with evil ideas.

k, i meant, is Fox and/or CNN "deliberately" omitting the date-stamp from their videos... not any reference to information in this thread... :)

The SS date is visible in three spots—the Home Page (see under Latest), the author archives (click on Stephen’s photo), and on Category archives (see Politics, http://www.thesavvystreet.com/categor...
Also Art of Living). So that date is Sat, Oct 17, 2015.

The Every Joe dates are two, as two pieces were combined with a few small edits. They were both in March 2015 (12, 25).

this was not deliberate, plusaf. indicated on this thread

Thank you :)

An enjoyable lighter note! Thank you :)

Crap... how many times have I wondered what the air DATE and Time of some Fox or CNN video clip on YouTube was?!

THEY apparently don't think it's important enough to even have the date, let alone the time zone!

Or is that deliberate?

alright. Did some digging-posted first in March of this year. Link: http://www.everyjoe.com/2015/03/12/po...

I will ask that vinay date the article. Thanks

I will note that with the second and third parties being Socialist and Communist respectively, anyone who was opposed to communal mindset philosophy would have voted for Nazi's. (I am generally of the 'vote for the lesser evil' camp but I admit that there is another side to that decision.)

gaigal has a very good and serious answer. On a somewhat lighter note, I will mention that there was a word in use in Elizabethan English, "dateless" . Its technical meaning was simply 'a document that did not have a date'. Its actual meaning was "worthless" or "deranged". A document that did not have a date was legally worthless.

Jan, odd but not dateless

I agree. You have to read and experience widely in order to understand widely.

Jan

Thank you and good to know!

I agree completely on wanting an article date, gaiagirl. Your comments on frame of reference are right on target. I always look for articles to include a date written, especially if I am thinking of posting it to the Gulch. +1 to you and Mimi.

I will find out gaiagirl. Many Gulch producers are contributors to SavvyStreet, including myself, Db, straightline logic, Marsha Enright, watcher55, etc. :)

In a true free society, there is no such thing as censorship. All people should have a forms of communication available to all people. It should be the duty of parents to guide their children by expressing a rational philosophy so that no matter what they are exposed to, they can judge for themselves.

Ominous Parallels is an essential read relative to this topic.

I acquired an old copy of Mein Kampf dated 1940 and read that through. Hitler showed a definite grasp on how to use the media. That much is fascinating.

And then there is Hitler's second book. Haven't read it yet, but I understand it apparently came out in 1928.

I can't answer for Mimi, but I always look for the date on which an article (even a recipe :) is published (one can only assume it was written on the date it was published.)

First, though, I want to say thanks for the new resource for me. It's now bookmarked. :)

I check the date because I find it provides me with a frame of reference. For example, if the date of publication is not current, what was the atmosphere surrounding the topic at the time it was published? Same? Different? If forecasting, such as in economics, how accurate was it?

I'd be interested in the publication date for this article because if it was published some time back, I would want to read more from this author. I look for patterns, trends.

The dates of publication for recipes provide me with info on food trends...I have just always checked dates for any publication I read.

As an aside - if the publication date is not given, you can often get an approximation by checking for publication dates on referenced readings within the article.
