based on the Worst Case system recovery that you had to go through, would you recommend SMF as forum software ?
I don't think there's anything wrong with SMF. The hosting company - Hostgator - really screwed things up. The SMF hadn't been updated, and had to switch to new hosting company - Bluehost, which is supposed to be best for SMF - and a lot of work had to be done bringing everything up to date.
QuoteDear Sir or Madam,
I am working on a report on historical revisionism and defamation of Romanian journalists for the German daily "taz" and the International Press Institute. Among others, it is about the Elie Wiesel Institute and the academic and journalist Adina Marincea.
I am contacting you because I will also write about your publication (website and Telegram channel). Your publication is accused (among others by the Elie Wiesel Institute) of regularly broadcasting anti-Semitic and racist content as well as denialist and neo-Legionarian ideology. Through some authors, "Stratinfo" has links to the website incorrectpolitic.com. According to the Wiesel Institute's annual reports, the site disseminates anti-Semitic and racist articles that incite hatred against Roma and Jews.
In an article posted on March 7, 2023, on the "Stratinfo" Telegram channel, you say: "The neo-Bolshevik recidivist Adina Marincea acts turbo-repressively against all Christian conservatives in Romania, knowing very well that she works for the Elie Wiesel Institute and that it is financed from Soros' money!"
With your telegram channel, you are one of the strongest voices spreading hatred against Adina Marincea and the Elie-Wiesel Institute.
I hereby give you the opportunity to make a statement. How do you respond to the above allegations?
Please respond by Saturday 10 August 2024 at 12.00 noon.
Sincerely,
Jean-Philipp Baeck

QuoteI heard you accuse our publication of anti-Semitic, racist content, denialism and neo-legionary ideology. Could you provide actual examples of these facts so we can discuss case by case and not rely on loose interpretations? This would be a first step to having an honest intellectual debate.
Furthermore, what is "neo-legionary ideology"? The legionary movement is a historical movement that no longer exists, it has no leadership hierarchy, no nests or Brotherhoods of the Cross, as its youth branch was called. Only a few old legionnaires, over 90 years old, are still alive. There is no longer any legionary political party or NGO functioning in the country (with the exception of a bizarre individual called Șerban Suru, who presents himself as a legionary leader, but is considered a clown and a usurper by Romanian nationalists), so we are discussing history. You can have a positive or negative opinion about one part of history without "inciting hatred" and others. We can discuss whether the Legionary Movement was "good" or "bad", but for now let's focus on your accusations.
What is this accusation you are fashioning, of 'spreading hate'? "You are one of the strongest voices spreading hatred against Adina Marincea and the Elie-Wiesel Institute. " How can one discern when hatred intervenes? What is the difference between disgust and hate? Where is the line between dislike or hate? When does one end and the other begin?
The existence of this concept of "hate" in the courts and in legislation is completely unbalanced and unfair, you cannot quantify an emotion and you certainly cannot ban emotions, regardless of the laws that are passed. Humans will continue to love, hate, rejoice, grieve, and experience the wide range of emotions God has gifted us with.
Interested in this Elie Wiesel Institute you are getting information from? Do you know what his duties are? His prerogatives? Do you know what kind of cultural terrorism they commit, intimidating public administrations to rename schools and streets, do you know how they denigrate certain journalists, smearing them with unproven accusations, causing damage to their image? How did they manage to prevent events dedicated to book launches, how did they force the Romanian Academy to stop organizing an event dedicated to scientist Nicolae Paulescu, the discoverer of insulin? They also managed to get the Ministry of Defense to remove videos of the army choir singing certain songs from YouTube.
These are just a few examples. And they say that we commit anti-Semitism by saying that the Jews control politics in Romania? Then the truth is anti-Semitic. Also, did you know that in Romania there is a Christian Jewish organization that publicly responded to the accusations of the Elie Wiesel Institute and defended the Romanian people?
Let's review this accusation of "denialism". Against whom is it raised? It is directed against our respectable publication, while the former president of Israel, Shimon Peres, publicly thanked Romania for saving 400,000 Jews from the Second World War. About the same amount of Jews that the illegitimate Elie Wiesel Institute accuses us of having genocided, Shimon Peres says we saved. Look up Wilhelm Filderman, who was the president of the Jewish communities in Romania at the time, he wrote about how Marshal Antonescu saved the Jews by giving them blank passports. So how can you deny something that has been proven not to exist? Proved not by "anti-Semites", but by the Jews themselves!
Besides, why believe an institute named after the impostor Elie Wiesel? Why impostor? Auschwitz survivor Gruner Mikloș, who met the real Elie Wiesel in the camps, wrote about his post-war meeting with his former campmate . He writes that he could not recognize Elie Wiesel, that he was not his former colleague, then asked him to show him his tattoo, which Gruner knew by heart (A-7713), and Elie refused.
This institute is a mirror of the American ADL. Are you familiar with the history of the Anti-Defamation League? How did he get this being? There was this murderous Jewish pedophile, Leo Frank, convicted by a Grand Jury in 1913 of raping and murdering the little girl Mary Phagan. Leo tried to blame it on a black man. He was sentenced to death and his execution was delayed because the Jews intervened and tried to overturn the decision. Later, these Jews formed the ADL. Are we really supposed to give credit and act like the ADL's word has any real value when the entire organization was formed to defend a convicted pedophile criminal?
What did your publication say about the genital mutilation of Jewish children? Do you agree with this practice, do you think it is their "religious right" to cut the foreskin of infants who cannot refuse and cannot resist? Is this worse than "inciting hatred" by writing words on the Internet? I know you can't answer that question, your job is on the line. But we both know the truth.
As young people these days no longer watch TV news or read mainstream publications, we see them turning to alternative, independent and politically incorrect media. This phenomenon will continue despite attempts at censorship, mostly because the mainstream media is dishonest and boring. That is why attacks against independent journalists are increasing. But it's like trying to stop an avalanche, mate.

PS: I also contacted Andreea Malva to get her point of view, as the Stratinfo post you quoted from was signed by her. Here is what Andreea had to say:
Andreea Malva:
In response to your manipulation, these phrases taken out of context to furnish the planned narrative, are not the basis of "accusations" to which I should respond as you state, but radically cosmopolitan political positions disguised under the cover of a typical moralistic pseudo-exercise Occidental.
The reality is that independent journalists, patriots and Christians in Eastern Europe are the target of all the attacks coming from the Mass Media subsidized from the public money in parallel with the dubious funds of some cross-border organizations like OSF (Soros), who of course have every interest in silencing free speech and employed by the national and popular interest of Romania. We are not attacking the religious, moral, social and historical values ��of our past, but the foreign organizations that occupy a dominant propagandistic space in society, in the continuity of that administered arbitrarily by the Judeo-Bolshevik column that took control of Romania after the Second World War, organizing the genocide that made more than 1.5 million victims among peasants and Christians!
Today, more than ever, independent patriotic journalism is the last bastion against the ideological and legal terrorism practiced by cross-border organizations run by Freemasonic circles who work and run the mainstream information space at the mercy of globalist corporatism under the US flag and its diplomatic arm, global Zionism! It is true that the action of Adina Marincea, piloted by the Elie Wiesel terrorist institute, generates a broad anti-Jewish reaction in Romanian society, a kind of "enough!" generalized expressed at all levels of society!
For this reason, we fight with energy and determination the disinformation and ideological terrorism of these foreign offices, which are trying to rewrite our history by force of pressure and institutional corruption, introducing into society the foundations of post-national social engineering! And yet, being responsible journalists, we have always shown our support for the cause of the Semitic people in occupied Palestine, not having "racist" and exclusivist tendencies as you probably noticed in the ranks of the Banderists that you value so much in the West, displaying yourself without complexes racism against Russia!
In conclusion, Western journalists no longer have the ability to enter into a contest of ideas with independent journalists in Eastern Europe, because the Western journalist committed professional suicide when he no longer stood on the side of his nation or people. Here in the East we still have a moral dimension to our profession, a Christian dimension drawn directly from Europe's Greco-Roman heritage.
