Talk:Karl Haushofer

message: Karl had not only the tibetan bodyguards and advisers, but the early "Channelings" of the tibetan oracle about ?germanys? role in this timeloop,
which spoke only of the new children taking over the planet and divine ascension with those lightforces of the galactix!!!
Shurly that was before WW1 and the dark lodges of the bankers and Weaponproducers where established to turn the dark powers into their spindoctors...
And you feel the spys of those dark minds and of rottenchilds stooges snap at such channel sources and twist it into fashist ideology to masterplan
their agendas of slavematrix ect...! Like most of the true will come back now, our early sane souls will never be forgotten.

The passage on this guys precognitive abilites is ridiculous.  Are there some authoritative sources that verify he could see into the future?  What rubbish.  This article stinks.  But since I couldn't give a darn about this guy anyway,  I'm going to leave this pile crap exactly the way it is.  Enjoy! ````  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Canuckistani (talk • contribs) 01:40, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

text: There is no reliable source for this. That he committed suicide by seppuku, seems to be a myth, too. The Columbia Encyclopedia writes: "In 1946, Haushofer and his wife committed suicide by taking poison." --GirasoleDE 21:52, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I added a German source for Haushofer's suicide by poison. In translation: "German geopolitician Prof. Dr. Karl Haushofer committed suicide at the age of 76 together with his wife of 69 years. the bodies were found by the son of Professor Haushofer [Heinz Haushofer] in a field close to Pähl near Weilheim. Two liquor glasses were lying next to the body of the professor containing residues of poison." - No samurai sword, no spilled blood - at least according to the local newspaper. --GirasoleDE 22:18, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

message: There are (and were) many many Gymnasiums in Munich, but no "the Munich Gymansium." I could not (in German sources available online) find the specific school he went to. I propose changing to something less specific. MattHelm77 (talk) 09:38, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

text: Plan for Destruction. The film speaks of geopolitics shortly after 1933 being lifted out of the classroom to become a servant of the state in the Institute of Geopolitics:  http://www.popmodal.com/video/14151/Plan-For-Destruction--Karl-Haushofers-plan-for-Nazi-global-dominance at 9:45 min. But a propaganda flic from the war is hardly a reliable source. If Haushofer had, as the film tells, a thousand employees and a worldwide net of people gathering information and was the mastermind behind Hitler's wars and plan to enslave the world, why wasn't he put on trial for it in Nuremberg? Haushofer denied that there ever was an Institute for Geopolitics in Munich, and Edmund A. Walsh (Total Power. A Footnote to History p. 346) found no trace of it and believed him. --Vsop.de (talk) 11:40, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Please help to add correctly the reference to Zweig. The book has recently been translated and is freely available. Zweig, a Jew, first met Haushofer 'travelling on a river boat along the Irrawaddy from Calcutta to Indochina' before the First World War (probably about 1910) and spent many hours with him then and subsequently on their return to Germany.2.219.44.78 (talk) 07:22, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Stefan Zweig 

message: I find it highly likely that Haushofer's name was referenced in the Cordwainer Smith story "No, no, not Rogov!" where there is a character "Gausgofer" (with distinctive characteristics).  While the characters are nominally Russian, this might indicate a fascination with the influence of German thought and, perhaps, German 'experts' (as for example occurred with the Soviet postwar rocket program) on Russian science.  (Linebarger of course had his own fascination with 'German' culture and science, as evidenced in other stories, and this might be an indication of one meaningful influence on him.)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This article is mainly a discussion of the degree to which Haushofer is responsible for the actions of Nazi Germany. It's not much of a biographical article. Does no complete biography of this man exist in print, to which WP editors may refer for the narrative of his life?
In particular, the article mentions in two places his "imprisonment," calling it "brief" at one point and then referring to an eight-month imprisonment, both times as passing references only. The debate on his influence over Nazi doctrine deserves its own section or even its own article, but in the meantime, a biographical article on Karl Haushofer the person is missing from WP.--Quisqualis (talk) 06:32, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
