Lenin, Stalin, and HitlerioHistorian Robert Gellately has written an unconventional and interesting book, according to this review in The Economist:
Never mind the fact that, if it is illegitimate to blame Jews for Communism, it is equally illegitimate to blame Germans for Nazism. You can’t expect everything from a book published for the mainstream market, and hence liable to get its authors excommunicated from the human race for some anti-liberal heresy. At the very least, Gellately asks the relevant moral question (whose atrocities caused more suffering?) and appraises the untotalitarian nature of Hitler’s regime with less hysteria than is the norm.

To those of us here familiar with the Jewish role in 1919 this seems ridiculous, but the masses in and outside of Russia know nothing of that. In Russia’s ongoing nationalist renaissance Stalin is resurrected as something of a firm leader who guided the USSR to superpower status, which outweighs his many flaws (Hey, what is Putin to tell the masses even if he knew the truth, which he very well might???) On the Totem Pole of Evil, that Hitler isn’t the true target explains both his slight (and you can be certain temporary) downgrade from the very top and Stalin/Lenin’s promotion above him.

They forgot the fourth monster of the 20th Century: Franklin Roosevelt. Posted by Maguire on August 15, 2007, 03:32 AM | # “They forgot the fourth monster of the 20th Century: Franklin Roosevelt.” Gellately also forgot the fifth one. This was the Zionist Man of Blood, Neocon Winston S. Churchill. He deserves to be remembered as the Destroyer of Western Civilization. And owning a First Edition collection of most of his major works, and having studied his career in depth, I’m ready to engage on that with anyone, English or otherwise. Posted by robert gellately on August 15, 2007, 12:44 PM | # To the Red Baron, Yes, there is something new under the sun. “Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler” goes well beyond the historians you mention and uses sources, especially from Russia, that have only been opened long after these earlier books had gone to print. Moreover, it’s not just a question of some new “facts,” because the hypotheses and perspectives are original. Before you write off new books it might be worth giving them at least a casual glance.

Address on the Occasion of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Statue of Liberty. October 28th, 1936
Undoubtedly, that speech could play today, without changing a single word. Posted by Maguire on August 15, 2007, 09:09 PM | # “Churchill considered blocking all immigration” ‘Considered’? Considered?? Is this the best you can do? Why didn’t he and the rest of his - ahem, ‘Conservatives’ - follow through? He was Prime Minister then. He and the ‘Conservatives’ did possess a Parliamentary majority in the House of Commons at that time. “Yet, apparently, not harbouring, unlike FDR, a desire to replace his own people.” “Mission Control to Desmond Jones, come in, over… Desmond, this is Houston, are you there?” If he didn’t ‘harbour’ the desire, then why he didn’t he follow through with ‘action’? Remember the famous ‘Action This Day’ label? I guess this particular piece of policy didn’t get that label. Maybe WSC also had a “Take No Action” label he used, and which we haven’t heard about yet. I rate that right up there with WSC’s worries about war causing the English people an economic catastrophe. Worries that didn’t start expressing themselves on paper until early 1944. By that time WSC had been writing historical novel series based on his periods in office for over 30 years. His first series was titled “The World Crisis”. His fourth series of historical novels, titled the “History of the Second World War”, was greatly enhanced by his knowledge he was going to write it if he lived long enough. The credibility of that framework of fantasy has been sustained by keeping all his non-published memoranda secret from everyone except Jew Martin Gilbert. “Undoubtedly, that speech could play today, without changing a single word.” So can his 1930s article where he praises Adolf Hitler as a great leader of national revival, and saying he hoped that England would find such a leader if she were ever cast down. The case of Abigail Howarth makes it look like now is the time. Your mentally ill (he was a clinical maniac-depressive) deadbeat drunk was a Jew tool from the very start of his career, if not a crypto Jew himself. He began that career in Court Jew “Sir” Ernest Cassel’s pocket. And on this policy front WSC didn’t confine himself to ‘consideration’. He always acted, consistently and in one direction. One of his premier concerns while nominally supporting Kolchak and Denikin during the Russian Civil War was to suppress all manifestations of anti-Semitism among their forces. Posted by Desmond Jones on August 15, 2007, 11:44 PM | # How exactly could they do it, after the excesses of WWII and the UNESCO declaration on race? Oh by the way boys, thousands of Irish, okay, but you black and brown chappies have to stay home! All of the rest proves what exactly? He was a drunk. Cassell’s allegedly gave him money. So what? What exactly was the outcome of his alleged furitve trists with international Jewry? Did he suppress all manifestations of Russian anti-semitism or not? Ifs ands or buts, candies and nuts, big deal.

Posted by wjg on August 18, 2007, 03:00 AM | # Desmond, As all awakened Euros should become aware there was no Zionism VERSUS Communism struggling for the soul of Jewry. That was an ill-informed projection on the Jewish mind of the Aryan characteristic (and often weakness) of ideological purity. The same Jews that funded the undermining of Christian Russia funded the impetus for the Balfour Declaration. To the Jewish elite Zionism and Communism were never at odds but were tools to be used in their struggle to weaken Europe and finish their ascendancy. Bolshevism destroyed millions of the best Aryans in Russia, turned Russia firmly against Europe, and enriched the Master Race in the process. Zionism gives them all a place to flee when they’ve made themselves unwelcome. Where is Sir Winston’s “struggle” here? To expand upon what Maguire says Churchill may have been the single worst Euro leader in the 20C, if not all history. If he wasn’t an outright tool of Jewry he certainly acted in ways that make the distinction moot. He destroyed Britain to an even greater degree than he mass-murdered Germans.

Why did World Jewry shrewdly pick Churchill? Because he meant war.

Interesting, considering Professor Ebeling the Ludwig von Mises Professor of Economics at Hillsdale College, Hillsdale, Michigan, suggest that Churchill was, in fact, a holocaust enabler.
Of further interest, IMO, is how the Nazi plan to deal with European Jews, transfer out of Europe, so closely parallel’s Churchill’s. Why did World Jewry shrewdly pick Churchill? Because he meant war.
It was Chamberlain that declared war, not Churchill.

It was Chamberlain that declared war, not Churchill. Ah, but it was the cabal of Rothschilds, Hore-Belishas, Bullitts, Baruchs, and Amerys that maneuvered France and Britain into a guarantee for Poland, and organized the half-decade-long propaganda barrage in the Anglosphere. is how the Nazi plan to deal with European Jews, transfer out of Europe, so closely parallel’s Churchill’s. And what did Churchill do to the Jews? I mean, other than take their money, their counsel, and hobnob with the Morgenthaus and Baruchs coordinating the anti-Germany effort?

Interesting, if it wasn’t for the fact a Polish-French alliance already existed in 1934, subsequently followed by a Polish-German Non-Aggression Pact signed in 1934 which
You appear contradictory. First you assert the “Jewish schemers” worked to elevate Churchill to the PMO, therefore Churchill was “the Zionist Man of Blood”, and then upon realization that Churchill was not in favour of war in defence of Poland, you advocate that it was the “Jewish schemers” that “maneuvered France and Britain into a guarantee for Poland”, an alliance France had already established. So which is it? Churchill “an outright tool of Jewry” or not? As the saying goes, “you can’t suck and blow at the same time”. And why Poland? Why not the Rhineland, Austria or Czechoslovakia? WWI killed tens of millions of Europeans, why allow Germany to abrogate the Treaty of Versailles? The point being that if universal nationalism is Salter’s solution to ethnic survival then belligerent nationalism cannot be condoned. Posted by Anonymous species-hater on August 19, 2007, 04:13 AM | # Why did World Jewry succor Churchill instead of Chamberlain? Because Churchill was a hot-blooded nationalist whose 19th-century worldview (balance of power on the continent, maintained by war) would collide with Germany. Therefore, Churchill needn’t be a hand-puppet in the strict sense. The point being that if universal nationalism is Salter’s solution to ethnic survival then belligerent nationalism cannot be condoned. Salter’s intent must have been to provide a “morally justifiable” alternative to the genocide versus mass immigration dyad. He must know UN is theoretically leaky. And why Poland? Why not the Rhineland, Austria or Czechoslovakia? WWI killed tens of millions of Europeans, why allow Germany to abrogate the Treaty of Versailles? My argument has been this: perhaps it benefited Britain to bottle up Germany, but only after dealing with World Jewry first as the primary threat. Then, and only then might Brits and Germans do a toughman contest see who is the most virile of the European races. Interesting, if it wasn’t for the fact a Polish-French alliance already existed in 1934... It is doubtful the French would have gone to war without the backing of the British, or without a reaffirmation of the defense pledge in March 1939. The French people did not want war for many good reasons… Posted by Desmond Jones on August 19, 2007, 06:43 AM | # Why did World Jewry succor Churchill instead of Chamberlain?

The theory does not make sense. Chamberlain was PM appeasing Hitler for half a decade. Chamberlain declared war. Churchill declared it an act without parallel in history. An act of supreme folly. The theory flip-flops more often than a cod in a dory. Was Churchill the “outright tool” of world Jewry or not. The case has not been made.
Hitler had the JQ in Germany well under control. Even Sir Martin Gilbert recognised that virtually all the Jews rounded up after Kristallnacht were released within a few weeks if they promised to leave Germany.
Further transfer out of Germany to Palestine, the UK or Madagascar was accomplishable. World Jewry was a threat to Germany because Jews were there. No Jews, no threat. It is doubtful the French would have gone to war without the backing of the British, or without a reaffirmation of the defense pledge in March 1939. Yet the French choice of an alliance with Poland inevitably meant war. Posted by robert gellately on December 16, 2007, 08:06 PM | # Dear Friends, I came into this discussion a long time ago when someone mentioned my book “Lenin, Stalin and Hitler.” I look in from time to time, but see few comments on which I can usefully comment. Most have strayed from the topic. It seems to me that some of you are re-running the history of the world. You need some new fuel, new in-puts, i.e. fresh information and new points of view. The history of the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany is already complicated enough without dragging in Churchill, Zionism, and God knows what else into the matter. My suggestion is, again, to read my book, “Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler.” There’s no sense talking about what is or is not in it or should, could, or might be in it, unless and until you have read it. My suggestion: Narrow the focus to a subject that is feasible and useful to discuss and then go for some new data and alternative perspectives. You could start by taking a look at one attempt to deal with my effort of comparing and contrasting Soviet Communism and German National Socialism. It’s just one click away at: http://www.economist.com/books/displaystory.cfm?story_id=9616751 We could even start a new discussion about the topic. But an informed discussion is so much more fruitful, don’t you think? Robert Gellately Next entry: Graphic Example of Media Blackout of Ron Paul Previous entry: Theology and our Issues: The E.
