I would not call it a document exactly it looked to me like a guy 
summing up the history of a region as he understood it.  Biased? 
Perhaps.  But not abusive.  And he is telling a side that is getting 
represented much around here.  If you want to rebut it you aught to 
do some digging  and come up with something reasoned rather than 
basically accusing him of being a fascist.

I think it is safe to say that both sides have a claim to make.

As I see it the biggest problem is that on both sides there are 
people with no authority and who are willing to answer to no one 
trying to make the case with brutality.
