[edit] BRITISH FACIST

THIS ARTICLE SHOULD MAKE MENTION OF FULLER'S INVOVLVNEBT IN THE UNION OF BRITISH FACISTS

No need to shout! :o) Yes, Fuller was a fascist. Worse, from his early manhood on he was a convinced satanist (is there a link?). But then, nobody's perfect... The wondrous thing about wikipedia is you can improve the article yourself if you like!
No, no - Fuller was not Christian, and was an Occultist, but not a Satanist. He was an early and vocal advocate of Thelema, until a scandal implicationg his mentor, Aleister Crowley, in (most likely true) allegations of sodomy (then still a criminal offense in Great Britain) caused him to publically distance himself from the controversial magician. My suspicion is that, as a military man, Fuller was anxious to avoid any possible question of his own sexuality.

Which begs the question: did Fuller ever marry? What is known biographically about his personal life? Was he homosexual? Some of his Occult poetry contains strikingly homoerotic imagery. 72.213.144.148 (talk) 18:43, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Fuller also was an honored guest at Hitler's 50th birthday, and blamedd ww2 on the international jew, and called the soviets mongoloids.

I agree. I read Fuller's "History of the Decisive battles of the Western World" and grew a little uneasy at the tone in places. But when you get to the third volume it becomes incredibly racist and fascist. This should be mentioned.Steve3742 14:19, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Full list of works by ORIGINAL publication year?

Hello! I've been reading unpublished autobiographical works of a woman (a very distant relative) which cover the period from approximately the turn of the century up until the Russian Revolution. In these works a note is made of a book by "Fuller" entitled "Total Warfare". While the titled could either been changed or could have instead have been the subject of the work, I'm assuming that it is THIS "Fuller" that is being spoken of. Does anybody know where I could find a full list of works by ORIGINAL publication year? The book supposedly deals, in part, with military strategy of striking behind the front lines at civilians or non-combatant military units.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank You, Konstantin G. A.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Konstantin3307 (talkcontribs)

[edit] Fuller's comment at Hitler's birthday

I have read about Fuller's comment at Hitler's birthday (about children growing up so fast that you do not recognize them) in the book "Military Anecdotes". I always assumed that this was just that, an anecdote and not a correct quote. I think we need a reference. I have failed to find this quote in online dictionaries of quotations. There are too many erroneous citations around without wikipedia further contributing to them. -Sensemaker
