Exactly. Anyone could make up anything. Someone could create a macro that said “Anne Frank wrote the lyrics to The Monkees theme song in Klingon on page 55 of her diary, therefore FAKE!”. It would still be bogus.
Also; Are these dinks stating that Anne Frank never existed?
Holocaust denialists are weird.
...and "The Art of the Deal" was ghost -written for Donald Fart by Tony Schwartz .
Never mind a 'Meme', just this fact alone proves that the Salt-rightist's 'Fuhrer' is the ultimate in Fake News.
But then, Tony would have had to write it himself. Who could translate the Orange Baby's scrawls: in crayon ...?!
...and crayons were commercially available: in the 1790s.
The first ballpoint pen was patented on October 30, 1888, by American leather tanner John J. Loud (US Patent #392,046). Developed to write on leather, it wasn’t until László Bíró presented an updated version with fast-drying ink that it was widely used on paper. He first rolled out his pens in 1931 but it was a few years before he could secure patents the first of which he got in 1938 with a Parisian patent office which is still four years before Anne Frank started writing in her diary. He got his American patent (US2390636A) on Dec 11, 1945 which is probably the date you’re going off of but didn’t bother to follow up on the name or history because it was inconvenient for you for two reasons: You’d have to move a whole finger and it would unravel your whole conspiracy. László Bíró was Jewish, BTW, which is why it was hard for him to get patents and why he had to flee Hungary for Argentina. A move a lot of Nazis would follow, ironically enough.
You can’t bank on everyone being as ignorant and unwilling to read as you.
Confused?
