I doubt that the internet would have changed much.  If anything it  might 
have made things easier for Hitler.  Goebbels would have felt  right at home with 
the net and no doubt would have made good use of it.

There is a very interesting news item I found today. Let me  quote:

"The spread of information on the Internet has given the world a  new tool to
forestall conflicts, Nobel literature prize winner Jean-Marie  Gustave Le
Clezio said Sunday.

In his Nobel lecture to the Swedish  Academy, the 68-year-old Frenchman said
an earlier introduction of  information technology could even have prevented
World War II.

"Who  knows, if the Internet had existed at the time, perhaps Hitler's
criminal  plot would not have succeeded - ridicule might have prevented it
from ever  seeing the light of day," he said."

MKR  ADDS:

Closer to home, was the last election of International TS  President. There
was a well orchestrated campaign to defeat Radha Burnier  under the pretext
that she is sick mentally and physically and hence should  the defeated. This
was led by many well known GC members. Members who did  not have access to
Internet were fed with this inaccurate and potentially  misleading
information. Even after three well reputed and honorable  physicians from two
continents (one of the physicians is a well known and  highly regarded
National Secretary) certified her fit, this professional  confirmation of her
health was not passed on to the members who did not  have access to Internet.
Even the candidate they were supporting kept  silent and took no action to
set the facts straight.

It is my belief  that but for the Internet and dissemination of the facts to
those members  who had access to Internet around the world, the effort to
defeat Radha  Burnier would have succeeded.

In addition, on the heels of the election  results, a quartet of those who
wanted to defeat Radha Burnier sent in a  proposal to quickly disenfranchise
all the members world-wide and also  change the rules in a hurry so that a
handful of GC members can seize  control of the Presidency and make the
president a puppet. The proposal was  top secret known only to GC members.
Even long-time workers at Adyar and  Olcott were kept in total darkness and
they learnt it from Internet forums  outside the control of the
organizations. The proposal was to be approved  in the December meeting. The
coup would have been an easily done deal to  the surprise and shock of all
members around the world.

It was on  Internet, the above secret plans were revealed and members came to
know of  the secret plans being cooked behind the backs of members.

It is my  belief that but for the Internet and disclosure of the secret plans
on  Internet, the plans would be very close to being successful.

Looking at  the above as well as the statement of le Clezio, Internet is a
tool  provided by the Guardians of the Humanity to prevent disasters and  to
counter the work of the Dugpas and Shammars in opposing the progress  of
Humanity. I think, as Theosophists, we need to take the clue and  use
Internet, in our own little way, for the best interests of the progress  of
Humanity.
