Very rare footage of the infamous Italian Fascist leader Benito Mussolini. In his Fox movietone newsreel footage from March 1929, he speaks in English (!) - Not so many people don't know, but Mussolini could speak English, French and German fluently, although he had very strong accent when speaking English.

Mussolini says (Roughly transcribed);

"I am very glad to be able to express my feelings to the American nation. Friendship which Italy looks to millions of citizens who from..... from Pacific to Atlantic..... United States is very deeply rooted in our hearts.

This feeling created by mutual interest in preparation of an even brighter era in the life of both nations. I agree - the wonderful energy of the American people and I feel....... my fellow citizens who are working to make America great.

I salute the great American people, I salute the Italians of America who unite in the love of the nation."

    They look different, they are built differently, they evolved for specific purposes. Their environment made them what they are, the same can be said for humans. We may be all human but we are not all the same. I am not saying anyone is better than anyone else but if you say we are the same you are truly delusional.

    The mere fact that his propaganda machine "tended to look down on Greeks" suggests that he lacked basic education.
    He was unable to institute genocide in any of the occupied countries because he was playing second fiddle. He empoyed the hyena principle, always following the Germans - although in Greece Hitler invaded in order to rescue him.
    His readiness to use the "Roman descent" ploy with the Libyans confirms that descent mattered to him.
