Title: Alternative History
Post by: trustyoursources on March 15, 2017, 05:52:21 PM
I am a documentary film maker and I believe that modern day accepted version of history is faith based nonsense religion. It is very hard to almost impossible to predict what happened long ago in the past even as late as a few decades ago historical accounts are mostly assumptions and wild guesses. To further illustrate my point I made a documentary about world war II that shows it through an alternative lens yet remains as accurate as any other modern day counter part even though the accounts are radically different. For all we know History played out completely differently then we realize and in all likely hood it did.

Is that a joke? Modelled after Trump's "alternate facts"?

Certainly just as confusing to me,

No its not a joke History is not cut and dry the "official story" is riddled with holes this is just a different take on what happened.

It's clear that you didn't bother to read our rules before you posted here, trustyoursources. Often in such a case, the staff of this site will simply remove the spam. Since your nonsense video may provide a minimal amount of amusement for members of this site who are desperate for such things, the link has merely been disabled.

People are still alive who lived through the period you've depicted. I know one of them personally--somebody who was an adult at the time and who would find your "revisionism" completely absurd. Perhaps your intent is comedic. If so, it falls flat but maybe there are people out there who like that sort of thing. Best of luck.

For those who would like to marvel at a ham-handed attempt to re-write history, paste the URL for the video into your browser's address bar and remove the asterisks.

Thanks for not out right banning me and allowing me to plead my case publicly. Having said that you offer no actual argument to the points that I have made. Since I still have my voice I will not be shy to use it.

JFK was made POTUS the same year that I joined the RAF. His part in WW2 was as the lowest rank of US naval officer, skippering a torpedo boat in the Pacific.

In this instance, at least, I will go with my memory of rather than your imagination or attempt at mock history.

Since your version seems so ridiculous ridicule rather than scepticism seems more appropriate here.

Thanks for the honest response. Translated: You came up with an imaginary narrative and put together a video to promote it. Anti-historical fiction, then.

Is your intent to observe people's reaction to a blatantly inaccurate mishmash of past events?

Lenin died in 1924, Trotsky was removed from power and expelled from the communist party in 1927. Both men didn't fight for Russia in WW-II.

Ok so its hard to just out right tell you its not like I kept track I would just kind of out line what I thought would make an exciting plot based on random clips I clicked into in the middle of random videos. I tried to make it like divinely inspired. It helped that I had good knowledge of "official" Russian history and fair amount of "official" history behind wwii/cold war/space race periods. This made it easy to figure out how to re arrange all these stories into the most epic and irritating to classic scholars. Basically my brain ex nihilo made that sh*t truth.

First off thank you for bringing up a real point. See most believe that world war ii, the space race, and the cold war are separate loosely connected events. I however found the truth that they are all part of world war II and I also realized not a single date ever provided by official history is correct thus when dates line up with the official story it is because I had to adjust them to make things make sense. Also North Korea is still at war with South Korea believe it or not World War II never ended. Even Trump is technically a World War II president.

There is no more "argument" about your "documentary" than there is about Star Wars.

Except Star Wars has the remote possibilty of being something like the truth in the very distant future!

Later: actually arguing about Star Wars is probably more sensible, speculation as to what might be possible in the future is more fruitful than arguing about an "alternative" account of past events that are within individual human memory. One is aware of propaganda, of "the winner writes the history" and all similar factirs but, sincerely, you expect people to go against events they effectively witnessed at the time? Small details might be fuzzy in memory but the actual event remains.

I am reminded of the quote, "it is possible to be so open minded, your brain falls out."

Please another none argument. I expected more from a community that prides it self on skepticism.

There is no more "argument" about your "documentary" than there is about Star Wars.

Except Star Wars has the remote possibilty of being something like the truth in the very distant future!

I made an entire 17 minute historic film and you cant even point out one thing wrong with it but you keep at every instance claim its wrong. Typical atheist.

Typical assumption, we are not all atheists on this forum!

So, according to your version, JFK was POTUS during WW2?

Well what the hell!  That vid is evidence of someone smoking  heavy duty weed.  A historical can of worms that is so historically inaccurate as to be an insult.

Hmmm...I highly doubt this... :notsure:



So I'm going to ask:
trustyoursources, are you a pothead?  :eyebrow:

Yes I am and yes it was "utilized" during the creation of the video the script/research/voice over/obtaining footage/editing. In fact I am doing it right now.

Based on his answers, I think he made this for shits and giggles. At least I hope so for his sake.

Ignoring the subject I think he has a slightly similar style to Dredge - when is he joking and when is he not? Giggles or not makes him a suitable case for having his head looked at IMHO.

I went back and read all the comments and am amazed really. Why are you all so serious about a bit of fun fiction ? Do none of you read fiction ?  It is full of stories around events that really happened but taken to a diffferent conclusion.This cannot have  been meant to be historically correct as so obviously is not  so has no 'sources'.    What about SS-GB by Len Deighton, currently on UK TV ?

Do you really think the author intended it to be fictitious? I did not read that into any of what he wrote.

I took the OP's repeated assertations that the video was true coupled with ad hominem attacks on those who challenged this to be just plain trolling.

Not even creative trolling at that.

The nature of ad hominems is that they have nothing to do with the validity of the previous person's statement. This guy wasn't very educated by that standard. And I'm sure they would teach you that if you ever really went to film school. So yeah, this guy might not have even made the film and just posted here to troll.

Note: I already forgot his name so I just called him "this guy".

Thank you that PC. I am a bit sensitive about that bit of history.
