//Roosevelt could have secretly visited Hitler during the War//

Roosevelt nor Hitler ever documented any of that, Lady Hope says this meeting happened.

That comparison is different by orders of magnitude. It is one of the many false comparison made. Frankly I would more expect this from the (one-liner hit job) posters you have rather than someone like you. We all know who they are, farm that sort of crap out to them.

A much more apt comparison would be if you have ever visited someone very sick or the home of someone just died. There might be only a few people at the house when you visit, maybe even just a family friend or house keeper, the family might be so much in shock and pre-occupied they might not remember that you were there later.

You will note that in the post following yours most of Brotherhood's strawgrasps are demolished. The story--and "story" is the only word for it--has Darwin ill abed, not healthy and visiting London. This does not fit what we know of Darwin's last days. Thus, it is very much of a piece with my example of Roosevelt visiting Hitler.

You say yours is better because "She documented it." No, "she" said it, and there's even doubt as to who "she" is.

The Lady Hope Story first appears in an American Baptist newspaper the Watchman Examiner on August 15, 1915. The author was identified only as a "consecrated English woman", "Lady Hope", but research by L.G. Pine a former editor of Burke's Peerage found no other Lady Hope other than Elizabeth Hope who was adult in the 1880s and still alive in 1915.
"She" never owned up to being "Lady Hope." What kind of documentation is that? A story that doesn't fit the known history of no certain authorship? That's my "Roosevelt visited Hitler" example. The proof I'm right is you can't prove I'm wrong. That makes it a historical fact by TheBrotherhood's standards.
