Category: HistoryHitler’s Unforgivable CrimeHitler’s Unforgivable Crime During a recent visit to Les Invalides, I encountered a large government sponsored exhibition about the history of the Second World War. The museum’s title for the exhibition was “The War of German Aggression, 1939 -1945.” Nowhere in the exhibition was it mentioned that it was France and the United Kingdom who had declared war on Germany. Since it was France and Great Britain who insisted on unleashing the most destructive war in human history, the natural question is: why did they do so?

Ireland Worshipping at the Holocaust ShrineIreland Worshipping at the Holocaust Shrine The Irish Independent newspaper published a report on a speech delivered at a new Holocaust exhibition in Dublin on January 23, 2012 by the Justice Minister Alan Shatter. (State ‘did nothing for Jews in WWII’, By Breda Heffernan, The Irish Independent, Tuesday January 24 2012) Mr. Shatter accused Ireland of turning its back on the suffering of the Jews during World War Two. He proclaimed that the Irish State had lost its “moral compass” during and after the war. He said, “In the period following Hitler coming to power and preceding the Second World War, the doors of this state were kept firmly closed to German Jewish families trying to escape from persecution and death.” Shatter told his audience that records unearthed by the Minister from the Department of Foreign Affairs while he was researching the period many years ago show that the then Irish Ambassador to Germany, Charles Bewley, recommended the Government refuse visa requests from Jews to protect Ireland from “contamination”. Shatter was referring to Charles Bewley. Posted by Robert Reis on Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 02:12 PM in History, Irish Politics, Jewish Diaspora
Mid-nineteenth-century German racial moralismDer Struwwelpeter is one of the most famous German children’s books. Written in 1844 by Heinrich Hoffmann, it consists of 10 illustrated rhyming stories, most of which depict children being subjected to fantastic punishment for misbehaviour. One such story is “Die Geschichte von den schwarzen Buben” (The Story of the Black Boys). In it, 3 boys are punished by St. Nicholas for teasing a negro kid passing the city gates. What follows is my translation of the German. It might sound a bit awkward, but I wanted to keep as much of the original meaning as possible (the English translation changes the story somewhat).

Washington + Jefferson = Soros & Gates? The Founders and what it means to be a nationby The Narrator We often (very often) hear the jingoism “take America back” by all and sundry on both sides of the political/social divide. Particularly on the conservative side we see the notion put forward that The America is somehow far adrift from her foundational roots, as laid down by the Founding Fathers. But is this really the case? Is modern Americanism fundamentally different from 18th century revolutionary Americanism? What would the Founding Fathers think of The America today? In addressing that, we must first consider what The America is and what The America is not. What The America is not, is a nation. What The America is, essentially, is a religion/empire, with much akin to a Marxist state. And one of the “gifts” which both Marxism and Americanism have bequeathed to the world is the ability to re-define words and even reality itself. One example of that is the definition of nation. Since the advent of Americanism/Marxism the definition has been completely re-written to the point that it now actually means the complete opposite of what it meant for thousands of years. As stated, The America is not a nation, which makes such linguistic concoctions as “a nation of immigrants” one of the more profound examples of an oxymoron and generally reflects the intellectual apathy found amongst the populace.

The Ludlow Massacre of 1914 - A Microcosm of Modern Multi-CulturalismAt a time when Capitalism and Marxism were still yet ‘converging’ to form the present day ideology of cheap labor/institutionalized division known as ‘Multi-Culturalism, a terrible event would take place in the US state of Colorado which would seem to encompass all the ingredients of that unfortunate modern ideology. Large corporations were promoting ‘immigration’ so as to suppress wages and to create a Tower of Babel so that people could not organize themselves. As part of their campaign to break or prevent strikes, the coal companies had lured immigrants, mainly from southern and Eastern Europe and Mexico. CF&I’s management purposely mixed immigrants of different nationalities in the mines to discourage communication that might lead to organization… ...Most miners also lived in “company towns,” where homes, schools, doctors, clergy, and law enforcement were provided by the company, as well as stores offering a full range of goods that could be paid for in company currency, scrip. However, this became an oppressive environment in which law focused on enforcement of increasing prohibitions on speech or assembly by the miners to discourage union-building activity.

The New Rome; or, the United States of the World (1853)There is a presumed history of things that is taught to most, that even the less powerful from amongst the elites believe…and then there is another history of these events, that only a relative few and powerful know. It is important for those wishing to see not only the preservation of their own people, but the other various peoples of the world as well that make up humanity, to have an excellent grasp of the past so as to see clearly as to what to do in the present. Hence entries here such as this…
The Revolutions of 1848 are suppressed across Europe and many of the revolutionary leaders and those that took part flee their countries. Thousands from Germany that took part in the 1848 revolution there are granted refuge in the United States, amongst them one by the name of Theodore Poesche (1824-1899), a student revolutionary from the University at Halle. Poesche, in cooperation with a person of German ancestry in the US by the name of Charles Goepp, would write a book in 1852 and entitle it The New Rome; or, the United States of the World, which is free and on-line at the linked title, and it would be published in 1853 (seven years before the election of Abraham Lincoln The book emphasizes five primary points which are as follows and in this order… 1) The separation of the United States and the British Empire is intended to be but ‘temporary’ so as to allow the order of things being established in the New World time to experience its ‘realization’...ie the United States needs time to gain strength. In the future the United States and the British empire will re-unite. (bottom of pg.87 and top of page 88) 2) At the time that the US and UK re-unite, thus forming ‘the Anglo-Saxon Empire’, the center of power of the British Empire will move from England to the United States, ‘its real center’, and the US will ‘take the lead’. (bottom of pg 87 and top of pg 88) 3) The US and UK (‘the Anglo-Saxon empire’), ‘having received its legitimate organization’, will co-jointly conquer and gain control of Germany, and lay hold an ‘unyielding grasp upon the countries of the Germanic confederation’. (bottom of pg 95 and bottom of pg105) 4) Immediately following the conquest of Germany by the US and UK, a struggle will ensue centered upon Europe (in time encompassing the entire globe) between specifically the United States and Russia. The United States will prevail in this struggle with Russia. (pgs 105, 107, & 109) 5) The United States will ultimately acquire ‘the empire of the world’ economically by way of Capitalism.

‘A Dark Intrigue…’ The Revolutions of 1848There is a presumed history of things that is taught to most, that even the less powerful from amongst the elites believe…and then there is another history of these events, that only a relative few and powerful know. It is important for those wishing to see not only the preservation of their own people, but the other various peoples of the world as well that make up humanity, to have an excellent grasp of the past so as to see clearly as to what to do in the present. Hence entries here such as this… Starting in France, in February of 1848, revolutions would sweep much of Europe. These Revolutions of 1848 would be a major milestone in the construction of the continental super-state then called the United States of Europe and today called the European Union…yet in some places this event is known of well before it takes place. In London, over a year prior, all eyes are upon British Foreign Secretary Lord Palmerston, a person of very high rank in a certain international organization, in regards to shocking pronouncements he has made about the near term future of Europe as a whole as published below in the November 26, 1846 edition of The London Spectator, and republished in the United States on January 2, 1847 in Littell’s Living Age. Even earlier, and reflecting a dysfunctional relationship between the Jewish and a European people, Benjamin Disraeli in his 1844 book Coningsby also seems to speak of these 1848 revolutions. The most striking occurrence of the week is not an event, but some writing, highly Palmerstonian in its savor. According to this characteristic effusion, all Europe is about to be in commotion. A dark intrigue is seen in every region…You would think there was going to be instant war - in Italy, in Schleswig, in Switzerland, in Poland - everywhere.
In the midst of these revolutions, in March of 1848, The London Times would publish an editorial exhorting Europe to follow the model of the United States as quoted below, italics in original. Editorials in that paper are significant as they have long been seen as a mouthpiece of official British government thought regarding policy, much as the New York Times is in the US regarding the US government… Posted by Alex on Saturday, February 27, 2010 at 02:55 PM in History
Utopian idealists, moral cowards, traitors, and heroes of our nationby David Hamilton
We are led to believe that mass immigration is a blessing to us and that only Enoch Powell and a few narrow-minded and prejudiced people have ever seen danger in it. All decent folk of good will, we are told, have embraced this break in our national continuity as a sign of enlightenment, with people progressing to a higher state of civilisation - that of a one-world utopia made up of coffee-coloured persons. It has also been presented as an ideological battle between left and right. But, actually, it is between people of common sense and utopian idealists. Most ordinary people relate to the world by common sense. We who wish to preserve our traditional way of life know how human nature works from our experience of how peoples treat with one another and what they are capable of. We have learned from history how different ethnic groups vie with one another for power and territory. Looking at the world around us, we see that in practice immigration is not assimilation, but the colonisation of our territory. So the impracticable dream of a multiracial utopia has had to be socially-engineered, which required totalitarian methods. The Utopians see immigrants as essentially good, and if we are nice to them they will be nice to us. But this utopianism does not do away with human nature, and we perceive foreigners being brought in as cheap labour, with idealism just as a smokescreen. If the high-minded ones are so benevolent and moral, why have their plans been underhand, we ask. And why the public infamy for those who foresaw danger in just letting it happen?

Sowing the Seeds: Powder Keg on the Baltic
Almost 70 years ago, thick storm clouds were gathering over Europe. Clouds which were not only Wehrmacht grey, however. French negotiators were trying to convince Poland to allow the Soviet army to march through for an attack on Germany. ‘World War II was the inevitable result of Versailles’ is a fairly widespread meme that the tenders of the Multicult have allowed to survive. Another common meme is that Germany, without justification, invaded Poland in 1939, forcing the Good War upon the Western (and eventually, Bolshevik) powers. These memes would seem to contradict one another. How could it be without justification and yet have been inevitable? Is it because Germans are just that nasty and vengeful? Of course, there are all sorts of other memes to help reconcile the absurdity of such otherwise necessary assumptions. One of the few advantages of being demonized and marginalized is that it forces one to produce high quality work in order to gain whatever measure of respectability is still possible. This is particularly true in the highly charged anti-Nazi atmosphere poisoning the German biosphere, where every Gutmensch has his Mjöllnir ready to fire with righteous lightning on anyone who says the wrong thing about National Socialism and the events of World War II (details or otherwise). One such producer of high quality work is General Gerd Schultze-Rhonhof. His book ‘Der Krieg, der viele Väter hatte’ (The War With Many Father) has sold (as of 2007) over 30,000 copies and is in its 6th edition. Much of the information contained in his book is also available on his website (unfortunately, only in German). In the run-up to the 70th anniversary of the start of the war, he has been writing a series of essays in Junge Freiheit, a ‘New Right’ weekly paper in Germany. Although I suspect much of what he says is well known by many here, I thought it would be interesting and worthwhile to provide a translation of these articles for those who are not as familiar with the background to the war. It might be a better conversation starter at the family BBQ than other aspects of the war which are often discussed in these circles. There are also historical lessons on the dangers of forcing different peoples into shared living space. World War II is not conceivable without the Allies’ negotiations after 1919 The Treaty of Versailles produced, along with many other difficulties, three results that would strain the relationship between Germany and Poland. Firstly, Danzig was separated from Germany and declared a partly sovereign state (the Free City of Danzig), despite the fact that 97% of the population was German-speaking [Rhonhof does not always think in racial/ethnic terms, but I would imagine that these were also ethnically German]. The mortgage, written by the victors into the founding document of the city, was that Poland was to be given custom, postal, rail, and trade privileges in Danzig, as well as being the international representative for the city. Apart from that, the city was to be the protectorate of the League of Nations, i.e. the victors themselves. The construction of a small state with tripartite sovereignty in itself was creating a powder keg. Posted by Dasein on Tuesday, August 4, 2009 at 04:18 PM in History
The Belcher Papers - Camerica: Trilateral Center of the New World OrderBy the first half of the 18th century it is fully realized by several European powers that North America, with its vast resources and geographical position, is ideally situated for the projection of global power. With Spanish influence in the Americas on the wane, and French defeat looming at the hands of the English in the French and Indian War of 1754-63, plans are made for strategic purposes to move the center of power of the British Empire from England to North America. A twenty mile wide channel is nice for defense and protection, an ocean thousands of miles wide on one’s either flank is much, much, better. However, the 1776 North American Revolution would seem to have precluded these plans…or did it?
Camerica: Trilateral Center of the New World Order “The United States is the Trilateral Center—both for the Americas, and for the world’s other continents. It was designed to be the Trilateral Center for the rest of the world’s nations. And there’s a geographical reason for that: The Americas are situated in the middle of the globe between the world’s other strategic continents. Thus, potentially the United States can reach out either of its arms—the Western arm, toward Asia, or the Eastern arm, toward Europe, to aid and influence foreign affairs. In Spring 2001, and again in Spring 2002, the United States took steps closer to the goal of achieving what can be called “Camerica”—a zone of closer cooperation between Canada, the United States of America, Mexico, Central America, and South America. The Monterey, Mexico summit in March 2002 further encouraged Mexico, Central, and South America to develop democratic principles in accordance with those advocated by the international community that is the New World Order…. A next, further step in the emergence of the Camerica region—the expanded Trilateral Center—was explored in 2001-2002, also: the cooperation of a large interAmerican, intercontinental free trade zone stretching all the way from Canada to Mexico (and potentially to South America), with the United States of America anchoring the center and occupying the middle position between the upper North American and Central-South American regions. Eventually, this may lead at some point in the future to a possible political alliance or confederation between the nations of the American continents (collectively, Camerica: Canada + the rest of North America, Central America, and South America). In the economic, political, ideological, and military regard, the United States would then serve as the Trilateral Center for the Americas—as it has already fulfilled the goal of being the Trilateral Center for the world through the exportation of its democratic ideology, its trade, its political/legal advisers, and, in the post-World War II era, its military advisers and peacekeeping troops. The United States of America serves as the command center and headquarters of the New World Order; it is the Trilateral Center. And its new American empire secured its beginnings through a war involving a clash of two empires: the Great War for Empire that was fought in the mid-eighteenth century…” Posted by Alex on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 at 12:37 PM in History
Royal Governor Jonathan Belcher (1682-1757)
Some time back I came across this curious site. While many amongst the sites article’s are rather mundane and not particularly interesting, a hand-full stuck out like the proverbial sore thumb and seemed quite incongruous with the rest, having some very unusual terms in the titles such as ‘Camerica’, ‘trilateral center’ and that much overused one ‘new world order’. Seeing those terms at the time I smiled a bit, as probably about 95% (or more, though not all) of such writings are off the wall, over the top, mistaken, or faulty in some manner. However, upon looking a bit closer, I found that the person who operates the site and had these articles written (if he did not write them himself) was not denouncing these subjects, as is usual, but rather clearly was an advocate. He did not condemn these things, but lauded instead. And some unusual subject matter it is. He takes an in depth look at the history of British North America and its relationship with the British Empire in the decades just prior to the 1776 Revolution from angles rarely (if ever) seen. He also writes of the nature of the Revolution and of the nature of the United States itself. In much of the writing there seems to be almost an undercurrent of boasting, as if someone from a family once quite powerful, but now much reduced in its station and circumstances, was ‘showing off’ by way of revealing secrets long held. The operator of the site has his reasons for this pride, for he is a member of the Jonathan Belcher family, historically one of the most powerful of British North America of the 18th and 19th centuries. Below is a brief biography of the family patriarch, Jonathan Belcher, and a brief description of the Belcher family as a whole.
Here and there at this site, in the near future, I’ll be posting excerpts from some of these articles accompanied with a brief summary of what the author seems to be trying to say and a link to the original source. I will call these ‘the Belcher papers.’ They provide much food for thought, and the reader can make of them what he will. It has to be said, though, were someone to have a great knowledge about these things, it would be someone from a family such as the Belchers. As a bit of an aside, the Belcher family descendant which operates the site, makes the claim that the shield (the Escutcheon) of the United States which appears in front of the eagle on the Great Seal is almost certainly modeled upon the Belcher coat of arms in honor of his family. At the center bottom of the portrait of Jonathan Belcher above, commissioned and completed decades before the founding of the US, the Belcher coat of arms is visible, and it does indeed have quite a similarity with the US shield.
*Timber from one of the British explorer’s ships, the HMS Resolute, would be used to manufacture a massive oaken desk which was then presented to US President Rutherford B. Hayes as a gift by Queen Victoria in 1877. Called “the Resolute Desk”, most US Presidents (including the present one) have used it as their Oval Office desk ever since. **A quick search of the phrase ‘Jonathan Belcher, the first native-born American’ will tell you what that organization was.

Revolution and Counter-Revolution
In the course of centuries it is sometimes forgotten that the American Revolution of 1776 was fully intended to be spread worldwide. It was a revolution of a radically new understanding of the self (ie man the individual and his place in relationship to the universe) which was intended to wholly replace the understanding of old. An economic philosophy, based largely upon Adam Smith’s book The Wealth of Nations (published in 1776) eventually having the name Capitalism, would in time be a part of this Revolution as well. The US Constitution, as the idea of this worldwide revolution evolved, was to be the foundation document for a constellation of Republics that was to span the globe and incorporate all peoples. The means to spread this Revolution, besides thru the publication of media, was primarily by the direct annexation of lands that had been purchased, ceded, or conquered, to the United States. Examples of this were the attempts to annex/conquer Canada in 1775 (the invasion of Canada) and in 1782 (peace negotiations with Britain and the idea proposed then to cede Canada to the US) and in the War of 1812 (invasion of Canada), the Louisiana Purchase from France (1803), the ceding of Florida by Spain (1819), the ceding of the Oregon Territory by Great Britain (1844), the annexation of Texas (1845), the conquest/purchase/annexation of the North American far west from Mexico (1845-48), the Gadsen Purchase from Mexico (1853), the purchase of the Alaskan Territory from Russia (1867), various quasi-private ventures (with strongly suspected US government support) to invade Central America and Cuba thru-out the 1800’s and culminating in the US invasion (and what amounted to economic annexation) of Cuba, and the conquest/purchase/ceding/ annexation of the Phillipines, Puerto-Rico, and Guam from Spain in the Spanish-American War (1898), and lastly Hawaii’s annexation (1898). By the time of the Mexican-American War of 1845-48 this process described would have acquired a name…“Manifest Destiny”...which was the belief that in time all of North America would be a part of the United States. Sometimes, quite a bit less often, Manifest Destiny would refer to the idea of annexing the states of South America in addition to North America, and much less oftener still the term would refer to the annexation by the US of the Far East (ie Japan, China, Phillipines, etc.), in addition to that of the Americas. A term that also began appearing in the 1840’s and that went beyond “Manifest Destiny” in describing the wholeness of the world-wide revolution being promoted was “The United States of the World” of which are some examples below which appeared, amongst others, in the media of the nineteenth century… From a history book regarding the state of Deleware published in 1870… “But even should its stormy waves in the lapse of eventful time totally destroy our State; wash away both hill and plain and leave not a vestige of its territory, save what was covered by its waters, Deleware would still live in history and the minds of men; from the glorious deeds of her sons in the Revolution, and from her being the first to adopt the constitution of what will be the greatest and mightiest nation the world has ever seen, which now known as the United States of America, may hereafter be the United States of the world. The mortal body of our State may be destroyed, but its soul will live, “till time is old, and hath forgot itself….” “This consolidation of territory also enabled us to show a united front to Great Britain, when we threw off her yoke, declared our independence, and formed the mighty Republic of the United States of North America, which who shall say hereafter may not be the United States of the World. From a book describing British visiters to the United States and their commentary published in 1864. This is an excerpt from the book and an accompanying reference it makes, both of which are insightful… [B]“What is more befitting for us Englishmen, than to watch with intense study and deepest sympathy the momentous strivings of this noble people? It is the same fight we are fighting - the true and absolute supremacy of Right. Surely nothing can more beseem two great and kindred nations, than to aid and comfort one another in that career of self-ennoblement, which is the end of all national as well as individual existence.”* *“The stupendous greatness of England is factitious, and will only become natural when that empire shall have found its real centre: that centre is the United States.” The New Rome; or, The United States of the World (New York, 1843). A remarkably bold and comprehehensive theory of American progress, unity, and empire, by Theodore Porsche and Charles Goepp - one an Americanized German, the other a Teutonic philosopher. In this little treatise [ed. The New Rome] the geography, politics, races, and social organization of the United States are analyzed, and shown to be “at work upon the fusion of all nations - not of this continent alone, but of all continents - into one people.” An excerpt from an article published in May 1898 which sought “An Anglo-American Understanding”... “Let us suppose, then, that Great Britain and the United States were to enter into an alliance involving these three elements: first, absolute reciprocity of trade; second, a tribunal to which should be referred for settlement, as a matter of course, all question arising between the two nations, as now all question arising between the various States of this Union are referred to the Supreme Court of the United States; third, a mutual pledge that an assault on one should be regarded as an assault on both, so that as towards other nations these two would be united as the various States of this Union stand united toward all other States. Such an alliance would include not only our own country and the British Isles, but all the colonies and dependencies of Great Britain - Canada, Australasia, and in time such provinces in Asia and Africa as are under British domination and administration. It would unite in the furtherance of a Christian civilization all the Anglo-Saxon people, and all the peoples acting under the guidance and controlling influence of Anglo-Saxon leaders. It would gradually draw into itself other people of like minds though of foreign race, such as, in the Far East, the people of Japan. It would create a new confederation based on principles and ideas not on tradition, and bounded by the possibilities of human development, not by geographical lines. It would give a new significance to the motto E Pluribus Unum, and would create a new United States of the World of which the United States would be a component part.” Lastly, a quote from a journal published in 1859 advocating the “acquisition” of Cuba. Though this quote does not use the term it does quite accurately define what the idea of “The United States of the World” was intended to be. “The nation owes to the Democratic party its greatness, progress, and prosperity, and through its irresistable power will yet be planted upon every quarter of this vast continent, and ultimately, throughout the globe, the American theory of local and independent sovereignty of States, with dissimilar social organizations, existing and prospering in political union and brotherhood, each moving harmoniously in its own sphere, and all revolving with unerring precision within the orb of our Magna Charta - the Constitution of the United States.” However, before the new revolutionary government in North America had even started building its capital city Washington DC (1791) an event would take place across the Atlantic that would greatly complicate the planned for worldwide revolution of the self… Posted by Alex on Friday, July 24, 2009 at 01:18 PM in History
The Jewish decade in post-war PolandWhen I wrote my post about the Bielski brothers, who are lionised in Edward Zwick’s 2008 film, “Defiance”, I mentioned that a Polish-American reader of this blog had provided me with much of the background material. The same source has now sent me a chapter from a book by a Polish national hero, Stefan Korbo?ski. The book is The Jews and the Poles in World War II, and this fifth chapter is titled The Jews in postwar Poland. In the decade up to 1955 Poland somehow acquired Jewish overlords not only in government and the communist party but in the secret police, in the adminstration of justice, in the machinery of political indoctrination, and so on. It was the darkest period of the communist era, the period of “the midnight knock at the door, arbitrary arrests, torture, and sometimes secret execution”. Korbo?ski does not dwell on the horrors that were committed during this time, but explains where political power and responsibility lay. He leaves us to supply motive. This is by no means dead history. The political and legal architecture of the communist state was very different, of course, from the Western democratic model. But in terms of its ethic nepotism and sheer tribal aggression, Jewish engagement in the “dictatorship of the proletariat” demonstrates how unchanging is the character of Jewry and how singular its interest in the monopoly of power. As Korbo?ski noted somewhat reservedly of Stalin’s appraisal of Jews, they were “cosmopolitans whose loyalties would be to Zionism rather than the country of their residence.” I reproduce below the entire Chapter V from The Jews and the Poles in World War II.

Mutiny on the Bountyby The Narrator There are various ways of describing and understanding the unfortunate turn many in Western Civilization have taken over the past century. Comparing events to “revolutions” and the course of specific nations to the Titanic striking the iceberg are common (engaged in by this writer as well). But every now and then a new perspective may help better see the possible causations as well as the potential remedies/outcomes to our plight. “History repeats itself” we are told and sure enough that seems to most often be the case. More than that, specific historical incidents seem to foreshadow events on a greater scale and era. Such an event is the Mutiny On The Bounty. (I should state that I’m no expert on the subject and that my casual interest in it was sparked by viewing the 1984 film ’The Bounty’.) That mutiny, wherein a group of men from a civilized Western nation, having temporarily grown accustomed to a leisurely life of hedonistic nihilism on a tropic Island, rebel against their commander when faced with returning to a orderly and disciplined, (Western) way of life, has a general theme which can be applied to our current situation. Though it is common today to lay part of the blame for our slide into ruin on the influence of outside groups who, through media and finance, encourage activities that harm us, it is not quite telling the whole story, nor is it reflective of the less glamorous parts of Western history. That that influence is there is undeniable. However when we look at the way Western Men, born and raised in a strong and potent Western nation at the height of its power, behaved on their own, far away from outside influence, over two hundred years ago, in an era that openly recognized racial and class differences, we see men who acted not much different than some men do today.

Sociobiology of a Communist Killing Field: The Croatian BleiburgThe following essay was written for the The Occidental Observer site, and sent on to me by the author to publish here. SOCIOBIOLOGY OF A COMMUNIST KILLING FIELD: THE CROATIAN BLIEBERG By Tomislav Sunic In the study of communist terror different methods from different fields have been applied, ranging from the fields of political science, historiography and philosophy to international justice. An impressive number of books about communist crimes have enabled observers to grasp this unique phenomenon of the twentieth century, which inevitably brings about a large and emotional outcry, followed by constant haggling about different body counts. Whether it is the former communist Cambodia or the former communist Poland, in the memory of many citizens of former communist countries communism is a synonym for an inhumane political system. Despite the fall of communism as an ideological and political-legal system, the communist ideas of egalitarianism and the belief in permanent economic progress are still alive, albeit in other forms and under different names, and even amidst people who self-describe themselves as anti-communists. Perhaps the reason for that lies in the fact that the ideas of equality, internationalism (‘globalism’) and economic growth are today better achieved, or appear better achievable, in the liberal capitalist West than in the former ‘real-socialist’ countries in the East.

Night and the HolocaustNight and the Holocaust: This paper is an analysis of Elie Wiesel’s memoir Night as a piece of historical evidence concerning the events today described as the Holocaust.
According to the publisher of the 1987 edition, HarperCollins Canada Ltd, the United States Library of Congress classifies Night under the headings “Biography” and “World War 1939-1945—Personal Narratives, Jewish.” This book is not supposed to be fiction. ELIE Wiesel’s famous book Night was first published in French in 1958 and in an English translation in 1960. (All our quotations here are from the edition contained in The Night Trilogy published by Hill & Wang, New York, 1987.) According to Encarta® Online: “Wiesel’s first book, Night (1958), describes his experience at Auschwitz. Subsequent works include many novels and a book of memoirs.” In a 1979 essay, “An Interview Like Any Other,” Mr. Wiesel wrote that he published his memoir La Nuit after a 10-year vow of silence only at the urging of Francois Mauriac, whose account of his meeting with the young survivor appears as a foreword to “Night’s” French and English editions. [Italics added.] What can we learn about the Holocaust from Night? Posted by Robert Reis on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 at 01:40 AM in History

Do you know any heroes around here?Do you know any heroes around here? In the film “Enemy at the Gates” Stalin’s deputy to Stalingrad Nikita Khrushchev ask the political commissar Danilov the above question. On many websites associated with the British National Party the terms “Nazi” and “fascist” are prominently displayed as by-words of opprobrium. In fact, the BNP and its most violent opponent the UAF accuse each other of being “Nazis” and “fascists.” Is the fact that a person was a Nazi or a fascist proof of bad character? Let us examine the public life of a person whose fascist and Nazi credentials cannot be gainsaid. Posted by Robert Reis on Friday, July 4, 2008 at 09:36 AM in History
The way we were ... or how Sheffield tamed its gangsBy David Hamilton
From yesterday’s Sheffield Star The following article was published at http://www.cdall.net/ on 2nd August 2007. TAMING GANGS - THE SHEFFIELD SOLUTION History is exciting narrative and can also guide us with contemporary problems. It does not repeat itself exactly but similarly and study can clarify present disorders. A major problem for decent people living their everyday lives is the take over of our towns and cities by violent gangs that have been allowed here by the authorities. A precedent 1920’s Sheffield, England, was terrorised by gangsters. They lived in cramped back to back houses in courtyards which sociologists use as the excuse. But joining a gang gives power, a sense of importance, of belonging to something, money, possessions, prestige and women offering themselves to you. It gives identity as most gangs are formed on Ethnic lines and based on a territory. These gangs gambled. Bookies operated outside factory gates with “runners” inside collecting bets for them and one made £75 to around a £100 each day even though it was illegal. Another popular form of gambling was “pitch and Toss.” This was a simple form of betting that required no equipment to pack up and carry away. It was tossing 3 coins into the air with the two forefingers and betting on the proportion of, say, heads that turned up. The biggest and most profitable “Pitching” site was on “Sky Edge” a promontory that gives a panorama over the city and with well-placed lookouts or “Crows” raiding policeman could be spotted from afar.

1968 - a revolution delayed
John Lennon, quoted just before his death.
From the Wikipedia entry on the Woodstock Festival During last month, the fortieth anniversary of the Paris student protests, the press was well-populated with articles about the generation of 1968. I am nearly but not quite one of them and, personally, I’ve found a lot of what was written to suffer from generalisation. The spirited, no-nonsense attitude of Townshend and the coerced and manufactured gaucheness of Lennon were nowhere mentioned. But they are both much closer to the world that I encountered as a (very) young man. One does well to remember that, at heart, the 60s generation as a whole was probably no more interested in left-wing political activism than any other. Rather, it was caught up in an historical moment in the West so coloured by cultural, religious and political exhaustion, and - something entirely new - so drenched with the images of an inexcusable, far-away war, that millenarianism and rebelliousness were a simple, mechanical response. Many aspects of it were ineffably silly and lightweight. But a few managed to turn escapism from the grey reality of our parent’s world into an adventure of self-discovery. These were a pure intoxication of the spirit, the like of which I have not seen since. Posted by Guessedworker on Monday, June 2, 2008 at 03:56 PM in History
Like the Roman, forty years and ten million immigrants agoHere is the full text of Enoch Powell’s speech to the Annual General Meeting of the West Midlands Area Conservative Political Centre, at the Midland Hotel, Birmingham on 20th April 1968.
The supreme function of statesmanship is to provide against preventable evils. In seeking to do so, it encounters obstacles which are deeply rooted in human nature. One is that by the very order of things such evils are not demonstrable until they have occurred: at each stage in their onset there is room for doubt and for dispute whether they be real or imaginary. By the same token, they attract little attention in comparison with current troubles, which are both indisputable and pressing: whence the besetting temptation of all politics to concern itself with the immediate present at the expense of the future. Above all, people are disposed to mistake predicting troubles for causing troubles and even for desiring troubles: “If only,” they love to think, “if only people wouldn’t talk about it, it probably wouldn’t happen.” Perhaps this habit goes back to the primitive belief that the word and the thing, the name and the object, are identical. At all events, the discussion of future grave but, with effort now, avoidable evils is the most unpopular and at the same time the most necessary occupation for the politician. Those who knowingly shirk it deserve, and not infrequently receive, the curses of those who come after. A week or two ago I fell into conversation with a constituent, a middle-aged, quite ordinary working man employed in one of our nationalised industries. After a sentence or two about the weather, he suddenly said: “If I had the money to go, I wouldn’t stay in this country.” I made some deprecatory reply to the effect that even this government wouldn’t last for ever; but he took no notice, and continued: “I have three children, all of them been through grammar school and two of them married now, with family. I shan’t be satisfied till I have seen them all settled overseas. In this country in 15 or 20 years’ time the black man will have the whip hand over the white man.” I can already hear the chorus of execration. How dare I say such a horrible thing? How dare I stir up trouble and inflame feelings by repeating such a conversation? The answer is that I do not have the right not to do so. Here is a decent, ordinary fellow Englishman, who in broad daylight in my own town says to me, his Member of Parliament, that his country will not be worth living in for his children. I simply do not have the right to shrug my shoulders and think about something else. What he is saying, thousands and hundreds of thousands are saying and thinking - not throughout Great Britain, perhaps, but in the areas that are already undergoing the total transformation to which there is no parallel in a thousand years of English history.

Rivers of Blood, from the BBC’s White seasonThe only programme of the five in the BBC2 White season which has garnered any kind of praise from right-thinkers is “Rivers of Blood”, a surprisingly sympathetic and rounded portrayal of the great and courageous Enoch Powell. Naturally, it has found its way onto YouTube. My thanks to wintermute for sending me links to all six parts.

An interest in Carl SchmittLast month I put up a brief post titled Leviathan Rising. It speculated on the general policy direction by which the transformation to a Leviathan superstate might be effected. Of course, the times would be characterised by trauma injury to European societies made raceless, and therefore loveless and powerless - for without love between the people there can be no strength in them. The approach of this condition we can all surmise from the evidence about us. We read and write about it every day. But let’s venture beyond. In my post I argued that the “detachment into domestic policy blandness and irrelevance, and the shift to action abroad” would be the sign that the totalitarian Rubicon had finally been crossed. But actually, I’ve just come across a better formulation from Leo Strauss in writings about his teacher, the great German jurist Carl Schmitt: “[It] would be a world of entertainment without politics and the possibility of struggle.” Recognise that? Now, sixty-three years after the extinction of the system he helped to theorise, Schmitt is still the pre-eminent authority on matters of total dominion? Addressing the riddle of how to despatch liberal democracy without triggering what Habermas has termed “the legitimation crisis”, he formulated a legal and philosophical legitimisation for dictatorship. This he did through a number of influential works in the years up to 1933, when he finally joined the Nazi Party. His thought, however, reduces to four core concepts:- 1. The concept of “Exception” from the normal restraints on state power in the absence of order. 2. The concept of “The Political”, as the dominion or theatre of action for the state (and the state alone). 3. The concept of “friend/enemy”. In the racial sense applying in National Socialist Germany, this could be seen as the division into in-group/out-group from the standpoint of the state. In our age, the “enemy” is European Man. But it need not be racial, of course, and indeed is really just a means of defining the activism of “The Political” (or the interests of the elite). 4. “Nomos” or the historic dynamic out of which grew the European Age or Global Order of the 18th and 19th centuries, which Schmitt idealised and at the summit of which placed the development of the sovereign state. It should be no surprise that for well over a decade now Carl Schmitt has been an object of study and fascination both on the liberal-left and the Straussian right. I will explore some of his ideas in greater depth later on. But to give you a flavour of the man I’m going to end this post with the transcripts from his interrogations at Nuremberg. He was arrested by the Russians in Berlin in April 1945, interrogated and then released. But six months later he was arrested by the Americans at the instigation of German Jews in OMGUS (Office of Military Government, United States), and interned until March 1947. He was then interrogated by a prosecutor for the War Crimes Trials, Robert M. W. Kempner, on three occasions. Here are the full transcripts of those interviews:- Posted by Guessedworker on Monday, February 18, 2008 at 06:22 PM in History
The black ones they sent backFrom the Telegraph, a perfect and equable example of preserving genetic interests:-
Well, let’s be clear. For my parents’ generation illegitimacy carried a stigma scarcely conceivable among the dozy and reproductive today. Lives were completely ruined by it. But ... for tens of thousands of girls the American military man was just too glamorous and exciting, and too much fun in some very grey times, to ignore. It wasn’t as if there were thousands of English boys around anyway. Even so, giving oneself to a negro - American or otherwise, soldier or not - brought into focus a swathe of other, painful moral issues. Irrespective of the elitist sensibilities of the Whitehall official with his Herrenrasse fears, the public had what might be termed a “direct” understanding of negroes. As understandings go, it was a rather better and more honest one than the so vibrant, so-so enriching official bilge that gets pumped at people today. It was also too implacable to be blown away by a few cries of “racism”. For the family to rally round a daughter who produced an illegitimate white baby was one thing. It was completely another if that baby was black. No tales of a loved father lost at sea or in battle far away could be spun to the curious and to the growing child. A black father meant one type of relationship only, with no thought in the moment the deed was done for self-respect or responsibility. It was simply too great a burden to bear through life if there was any half-acceptable alternative - and, it transpires, there was. In fact, the alternative was a very good one from a perspective of English genetic interests. In so far as was possible, thousands of carriers of African genes were distanced from the English genepool, while English genes travelled back to the segregated negro population of America. I am, though, intrigued by the Home Office statement that runs: “Provided it is clear that ... there is a reasonably satisfactory home in the US ...” Did the British government fund orphanages in America? Did they pay American couples to adopt the children? How were these reasonably satisfactory homes secured? We are not told. But it is interesting to reflect on what can be achieved when the political will exists, as one suspects it must exist again some day.

Holocaust v holocaustSeveral years ago, when I was researching the post-war history of Germany and the establishment of the Federal Republic, I found a library copy of Aidan Crawley’s Spoils of the War: The Rise of Western Germany 1945-1972. It’s out of print these days. But it was a good read, an eye-witness testimony mostly of the administration of the British Zone of Occupation, where Crawley was stationed. Still, this was the first time I had read in any detail of the rapine onslaught of the Red Army, and the terrible conditions in the West visited upon the German civil population. Their daily ration of calories was lower than that fixed by the SS for camp inmates. Yet the Army threw good food away because they could not eat it all, and forbade locals from scavenging for it. Crawley witnessed the spread of tuberculosis among the ruins and, inadequately treated, the toll it claimed through the terrible winter of 1946/7. He savaged the French administration to the north for their staging of insanely grandiloquent military displays, the purpose of which was to teach the German dogs how a cultured victor behaves. Meanwhile, of course, the dogs were starving. But the French, as always, were of passing importance. It was for the Americans, and most especially the high American hand in policy for all three zones, that he reserved his greatest ire. He deplored the treatment of German soldiers, and did not shrink from calling the worst of it torture. He railed, too, at the American insistence on reparations - in effect ripping out every worthwhile industrial machine and denying the people any chance of much-needed, normal economic activity. Crawley, an exceptional man, died penniless in 1993 and amid much personal tragedy, which has continued to stalk his family in the years since. I am glad, though, that he wrote Spoils of the War and helped introduce me to this extraordinary time in Europe’s history. In April this year, though, another, weightier book was published about the same period. It is After the Reich: From the Liberation of Vienna to the Berlin Airlift by Giles Macdonogh. The Telegraph reviewed it on 18th April:- Posted by Guessedworker on Tuesday, October 23, 2007 at 07:43 PM in History
