A timely and topical rant from my friend Patriot USA at
Patriot's Corner. A look back with a warning to the future.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Adolf Hitler was a lazy bastard. He slept late, often until two o'clock
in the afternoon. After he got out of his pit, he'd have a read of the
papers then go for a stroll. In the evening, he often watched movies
selected for him by Goebbels.
(1)
The world was at war, and somehow, the "Vienna vagabond"
(2)
was at the center of the storm. An average of twenty seven thousand
people died each day between September 1939 and August 1945. At least
sixty million lives were lost overall. The lives of the survivors were
forever touched by the events of World War II. The war went beyond
anything previously experienced by humanity and the only way people
could describe what happened was to say that "all hell broke loose".
(3)
That's an appropriate turn of phrase, because the Satanic nature of
Hitler's regime is unmistakable. Hitler, a failed artist with no formal
training, created a symbol for the Nazis to follow during his rise to
power. That symbol was the
Hakenkreuz, the hooked cross. We know it as a black swastika on a white disc, with a red background.
(4)
At the first Nazi party rally held in Nuremberg, Hitler used the
Blutfahne
to bless the Nazi flags carried by his followers. This flag was stained
with the blood of Nazis who had been killed during the failed
putsch of November 1923.
(5)
The Fuehrer demanded absolute loyalty from his followers. German
soldiers had to swear an oath of allegiance to Hitler personally.
(6)
One Nazi party member said, "There are things one cannot explain,
cannot describe. I never stopped thinking of him. Sometimes, he meets us
in our dreams."
(7)
An oath sworn to a man, believed by his followers to be their Savior,
made under a hooked cross and consecrated with the blood of other Nazis.
Historians have struggled to explain how such a regime managed to
establish the camps.
Adolf Hitler may have spent most of his time lazing around at his home
in the mountains, and he may not have issued an explicit order to
establish a system of death camps, but an explanation of how the camps
came to be an integral part of the Third Reich is certainly possible.
Hitler had stated that he intended to do away with democracy in Germany,
and that's exactly what he did once he attained power. The Nazi regime
has been described as chaotic,
(8) but in fact the Nazis
operated the Third Reich in accordance with basic evolutionary
principles. Hitler was a follower of Darwin, and believed that his
subordinates should compete amongst themselves, and the most devout and
able Nazis would rise to positions of power.
(9)
In the absence of clearly defined orders being formally issued to his
subordinates, the words of the Fuehrer served to establish the goals of
the Nazi regime. Hitler had declared the Jewish race to be his enemy
throughout his political career, so it was natural for avowed Nazis to
pursue anti-Semitic policies. The British historian Ian Kershaw explains
how this worked, citing a speech by Werner Willikens, who was employed
in the German Ministry of Food: "Everyone who has the opportunity to
observe it knows that the Fuehrer can hardly dictate from above
everything he intends to realize sooner or later. On the contrary, up
till now everyone with a post in the new Germany has worked best when he
has, so to speak, worked towards the Fuehrer."
(10)
Nazis worked towards the Fuehrer by perpetrating crimes they thought
Hitler would approve of. There was no legal or moral reason to restrict
their behaviour in any way. Their enemies had from day one been treated
with the utmost brutality. On the Night of The Long Knives, the Nazis
had even turned against their own and murdered the leader of the SA,
Ernst Roehm.
(11)
The most ruthless anti-Semitic measures were taken. In accordance with
the principles of Darwinism, the ongoing expression of the Nazis' hatred
of the Jewish people could not evolve differently, by going back in
time and choosing a path which had not been taken. The Nazis'
anti-Semitic policies could only become more radical until eventually, a
"final solution" was reached.
In the Third Reich, all roads led to the death camps.
Many people living in first world countries today have no personal
experience of war, and they have no context in which to place the Nazis
and their crimes against humanity. This limited view of reality is
sometimes referred to as a "normalcy bias". It may be difficult for some
people to think clearly about the Holocaust. But the question must be
asked: Could it happen again?
If such a regime arose today, its disciples would not march under the
swastika. That symbol is now associated with the Nazis, and the
political operators of the 21st century would never permit such an overt
display.
In the landmark television series
The World At War, one woman who
lived in Germany in the 1930s said that Adolf Hitler appeared to many
people to be pursuing order and stability. By the time his real agenda
became known, it was too late for anyone to oppose him. Christabel
Bielenberg, who was married to a German at the time, said:
"I think that
everything that came to us when we were living in Germany came very
gradually. That was part, perhaps, of the way Hitler managed these
things. It came on us rather, drip by drip, rather like an anesthetic,
one could almost say, and it was only when a specific thing that he did
hit you personally that you actually realized what was going on." (12)
We know that it is possible for a man who has done nothing, achieved
nothing, and whose character and beliefs are a mystery, to manoeuvre
themselves into a position of considerable political power. In an age
where information is accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world, at the
touch of an iPad, no one has any idea who the current American
President really is.

| Winston Churchill, 4th Queen's Own Hussars |
One of the first things Obama did as President was remove a bust of Sir
Winston Churchill from the Oval Office. Churchill was the man who, more
than any other, recognized the danger posed by the Nazis and stood
resolutely against them.
(13)
After insulting the Brits, Obama did the same to the Israelis. Benjamin
Netanyahu served in the IDF and fought on the front lines in the Yom
Kippur war of 1973. When Netanyahu arrived at the White House for a
scheduled meeting, Obama handed him a list of demands based on the false
"land for peace" premise, and told him to consider that while he went
off to have dinner with his wife. Obama said he'd "be around" if
Netanyahu decided he was willing to bend over on behalf of the state of
Israel and take it up the ass. As one of the reporters who covered the
incident noted, all that Obama managed to do here was reveal himself to
be ideological and vindictive.
(14,15)
These two incidents are telling enough, but a further incident involving
a head of state gives Obama's game away completely. When he met a real,
live Muslim king, his upbringing came to the fore and the President of
the United States of America bowed down before him.

| Barack Hussein Obama |
As President, Obama has changed the status of Israel in the Middle East
by letting her enemies know that instead of standing by Israel, his
administration is backing away. As President of America, Obama has given
hope to Israel's enemies.
(16)
If that's what Obama meant by "hope" and "change" on the campaign trail
in 2008, one shudders to think what is meant by his new slogan:
"Forward!"
(17)
An American President doesn't need to drop a nuke on Tel Aviv for
Israel's citizens to start dying. All he needs to do is let it be known
that he sympathizes with the Islamic world, and that America no longer
stands with Israel. There are plenty of organizations in the Middle East
willing to murder Israelis. They're not satisfied killing a busload of
people at a time either. They've been doing that for years, and it
hasn't worked. The Star of David still flies over Israel.
The Nazis also tried to operate at that level, using "gas vans".
(18) It didn't work for them either; as we know, the Nazis went on to develop their "final solution" to
the
Judenfrage.
Hitler may have committed suicide in April 1945, but there are still a
lot of people today trying to act in ways that would have pleased him.
Whether it's politicians trying to do to Israel what Neville Chamberlain
and his pals did to Czechoslovakia in 1938, a corrupt Western media
failing to report the thousands of rockets fired from Gaza into the town
of Sderot, or the educated, so-called "moderate" Muslims living in the
West who harbor the same "ancient hatred" of Israel in their hearts as
the so-called
"extremists" who act upon it, there is no shortage of
people who, almost seven decades after the collapse of the Third Reich,
are still working towards the Fuehrer.
