Part I: Western Civilization’s Faith
In John Milton’s (1608-1674) most famous poem “Paradise Lost” Beelzebub declares: “I would rather rule in Hell than serve in Heaven.” Milton was a sincere believing Christian. Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727), the genius inventor of fully modern science and equally sincere believing Christian, spent more time and effort writing about Religion and morality than he did about Science and Mathematics.
William Butler Yeats’ (1865-1939) most famous poem was “The Second Coming.” It reads as follows:
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
Without PITY there is NO CIVILIZATION WORTHY of EXISTENCE.
Part II
At the end of WWI, Kaiser Wilhelm abdicated and went to live in neutral Netherlands for the last twenty-plus years of his life. Hitler took over Germany in 1932 and, with the Enabling Acts of 1933, secured for himself both legislative and executive power to rule. When he lost WWII in 1945, the 13-year exhortatory political education of German youths came to an end.
When Kristallnacht (November 9-10, 1938) occurred, decades before the invention of the Internet and Social Media, outside of the Soviet Union, a free press operated everywhere. Newspaper reporters and photographers, in every significantly used language, reported on the murderous pogrom. Kaiser Wilhelm II, for the first time in 20 years, publicly surfaced long enough to state: “For the first time in my life, I am ashamed to be a German.”
Holocaust I took place in two stages. On June 22, 1941, when Hitler’s army invaded the Soviet Union and went through Ukraine, two population changes occurred. Hitler sent four Einsatzgruppen (Mobile Death Squads) to massacre every Jew they could catch. In the Kiev area alone, a minimum of 500,000 to 600,000 Jews were murdered and dumped into open pits. Quite a few Ukrainians found an opportunity to get even with the Soviet Union by joining Hitler’s Waffen SS. Some of them joined military formations of the Germans and some of them, like American auto worker Ivan Demjanuck, became Concentration Camp and Death Camp guards thus freeing up German Waffen SS for more formal forms of military duty.
[Until the last two years, I had no idea how many Ukrainian Nazis found safety and a future life in such places as the United Kingdom and Canada.]
Hard as it may be to believe, even after the 1943 FINAL SOLUTION to the JEWISH PROBLEM had begun right on up to the end of the War, more than half the population of Germany had no idea what their government was doing to exterminate Jews.
Almost all of the German Concentration Camps, which had been used as slave labor camps in many cases, and all of the Extermination Camps were east of the German population centers.
Part III
Today’s WWSOG-BOG comforts itself with the idiotic pretense (as do most especially the dominant corrupt EU national governments) with the delusion that a working-class majority may not take power through national elections no matter how many votes they get. Their perverse nightmare is that Hitler will take over and do something really bad. (It is truly difficult to believe that their perverse Hitler nightmare is sincere. Nowadays, insincere sophistry that controls the thoughts of the general population constitutes virtually all political speech.)
However, they buy off the threat of larger and more frequent Islamic riots and terrorism by giving money and political protection to Muslim Brotherhood organizations worldwide. The only refugees in the history of the Twentieth Century that can be used to finish Hitler’s work with Holocaust II have been invented in two stages after the founding of Israel.
All such Palestinian Arabs were known solely as Arabs not Palestinian Arabs until the 1967 War. The native Jews and the Holocaust survivors who migrated to Israel had the monopoly on the term ‘Palestinian.’
Poor and lower-class Arabs all over the Middle East migrated wherever they could go to find a better life away from the political abuse of Turkish and Arab rulers for centuries.
The Ottoman Turkish Empire flourished and grew starting in the 1300s. Though it fell apart after WWI because they were on the losing side, it is easy to overlook its 19th Century slow-motion collapse. The Ottomans advanced into Christian Europe through mostly Slavic lands. In 1683, they had even laid siege to Hapsburg Vienna but a Polish Lithuanian army lifted the siege. But still the Ottoman Turkish Empire flourished until its 19th Century decline.
In the 19th Century, hungry for money, the government invented a new tax. Taxes on foreign trade (tariffs) and other forms of income taxation had been around forever. The Turkish government got the bright idea to tax potential earning assets – even before they were earned. This had two interesting effects. It accelerated the decline of a once powerful empire. But in that acceleration, they turned agricultural areas into deserts. If you planted a tree that could bear fruit, the Ottoman tax collector charged you tax long before the tree began to produce fruit.
In the late 19th Century, the Ottoman government was very happy to sell land to Zionist European Jews for settlements. When Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens 1835-1910) went on his world tour, he sent back his syndicated witty newspaper columns. When he passed through Palestine, he found it largely uninhabited and uninhabitable. There were old religious communities – far more Christian than Jewish. Jews had been living in Hebron (where the Patriarch Abraham is buried) from time immemorial. This really is since time immemorial – not a widely used and fraudulent political metaphor. Between 1929 and 1932, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (Mohammed Amin al-Husseini – 1897-1974) created a very successful pogrom to kill and/or drive out every Jew without any resistance from the occupying UK military. (Though the Grand Mufti was a close personal friend of Adolf Hitler, the Holocaust was invented by Hitler in its more complete form.)
The only refugees in the history of the world with one exception have been granted by the world’s political leaders the status of ‘natives’ entitled to their own country are the so-called Palestinian Arabs starting in 1948 – 19 years before they were called Palestinians.
That other group has already been forgotten. During the Cold War, Tito’s Yugoslavia was a less oppressive Communist Police State than that of Albania. Where, once upon a time, Albania was rich in mosques for its Islamic population, the post-WWII Stalinist Communist Police State destroyed them all. Albania was reputed to be the harshest Communist Police State during the Cold War. (In the movie from the 1960s called “The Ipcress File,” it is Albanian Communists who are the torturers.) Escaping Albania, quite a few people were given a place to live in a portion of the Serbian jurisdiction called Kosova since the Middle Ages. This centuries-old territorial designation has been assumed to be perpetual by Political ‘Experts’ and ‘Authorities.’ In the late 1990s, ten years after the Cold War ended, college-educated political leaders all over Europe invented a war. NATO bombed Serbian civilian quarters without United Nations approval to strip Kosova territory away from the Serbians who had been fighting Muslims since they lost the battle of Sarajevo to the Ottoman Turks in 1389. Naturally, all of the WWSOG-BOG Expert and Authorities with Foreign Policy experience smugly created an independent Kosova that gave them lots of future career opportunities. You see, they left a large Serbian minority within the territory of the newly created Kosova. Thanks to exhortatory political education in virtually all Western and Islamic Universities, even a Serbian minority with ambitious political leaders who can only unite their followers on the basis of hatred and a Kosova Islamic majority who also unite their followers on this same basis of hatred, ethnic fighting between majority and minority will go on perpetually. Ever more fanatical political leaders enhance their careers by requiring the stamping out of language, religion and social customs over time. It is the very rare political leader who comes along in such circumstances promoting Civilization instead of degrading it. You should study the career of a Kurdish-Sunni political and military leader named Saladin (c. 1137-1193) in a time when Islamic society had evolved into a more civilized society than its European contemporaries. The very American idea of constitutionally limited government and maximized individual liberty barely exists as a Populist memory in America and Europe. Exhortatory Political Education is self-propagating.
Part IV: More History
In the early 19th Century after the disruptive Napoleonic Era, European Civilization returned to political norms and suffered no major long-lasting European War until 1914 and WWI.
In 1814-15 at the Congress of Vienna, International Law norms were established among the European Empires and independent Nation-States. When the very powerful UK government sent their ‘delegation’ of ‘Experts’ and ‘Authorities,’ they brought all of fourteen mostly academic-associated such people. Religious or ethnic persecution was relatively hard to find and, by today’s standards, minor.
WWI came to a political end with the Treaty of Versailles. For six months, from January through July 1919, the political leaders and their retinue, with total self-assured arrogance, meticulously redesigned the post-war future world. Ethnic clashes became ever larger and ever proliferating.
To me the most significant fact to explain this inevitable catastrophe to the lives of the preponderance of non-political humanity is the proliferation of University ‘Educated’ Political ‘Experts’ and ‘Authorities.’
Where the UK brought only 14 of such ‘know-it-alls’ to the Congress of Vienna, when WWI ended, they brought 400 of such troublemakers to the post-war conferences. In redesigning Europe, what the world did not get was Constitutionally Limited Government with Individual Liberty as the purpose of government. And it just gets worse and will continue to do so forever until the Academic Hoax of so-called Political Science and associated fantasies of Behavioral Sciences are removed from Universities. (They could be restored in the Literature Department under the specialty of Fictional Fantasy.)
Why must Ukrainian nationalistic politicians destroy the use of Russian language, historically great Russian literature, religion and cultural history within its Holy Post-Cold War foolishly drawn boarders or there must be a Putin-Russian Existential Threat to European Civilization? And in coordinated parallel yet complimentary fanatical political faith, why is the obvious Muslim Brotherhood REAL Existential Threat to Civilization so easily ignored since even before the Cold War ended?
Starting in 1972 at the Munich Olympics Massacre, and forever after, the 55-day subsequent ‘releasing’ of the three ‘playing dead’ captured PLO terrorist murderers for a hijacked German Commercial Jet, every unhappy young Muslim in the entire world is a potential Islamic Mercenary to kill Jews and destroy Western Civilization. Originally World-Wide television provided the primary Fake News vehicle, but for decades now, the internet and social media amplify the problem. I have never, in the EVIL SCUMBAG PRESS, ever encountered any information about recruited Muslim Mercenaries – recruited from everywhere in the world.
I have never forgotten what Kaisar Wilhelm II said about Kristallnacht: “for the first time in my life, I am ashamed to be a German.” And there will never be an end to the Muslim Brotherhood Existential Threat to all Civilization until many – actually all – Arab political leaders publicly and adamantly declare that what Gaza terrorists did on October 7, 2023 ‘makes me ashamed to be an Arab.’
