Werewolves To The Right

************

Note:  My schedule has tightened up…actually it has become a bit hectic…..between teaching and contract work I am at a loss for time…..I am having a difficult time running on 38 hour days……I regret that after today I will lighten up on the blog posts….instead of 5-6 posts a day…I will cut back to 2 or 3…..this is only temporary….I will still answer replies when I have a few minutes to myself……..please bear with me on this…..thanx for understanding……chuq

I admit it…I watch the History Channel and its other identity, the AHC, but only when they have something historic airing….I will NOT watch the mindlessness of their reality shows about idiot stump jumpers chasing alligators or the modern day dumpster divers……and  as usual I find holes in their propaganda…they give only a very limited and nearsighted account of some of the situations.  At best it is propaganda rather than fact.

These days many people are looking for reasons why such barbaric groups as ISIS and AQ could come into being….the problem is that they are looking at simple excuses and not the root cause.

I was watching one such episode entitled, “Nazi Jihad”…..it was lame attempt to connect AQ and ISIS to a program of the Nazis late in WW2…the “werewolves”….a very simplistic attempt to tie jihadists to Nazi Germany…..

But first…the Nazi werewolves?

Werner Naumann, Goebbels’s top aide at the end of the war, sent out this interesting message by teletype to the Nazi Party’s regional propaganda offices in early April 1945. It calls on the remaining propagandists throughout Germany to devote their full efforts to building an underground resistance movement that would make Allied occupation unbearably costly. The Allies were in fact worried about the possibility of the Werewolf movement, but in the end Germans were more than ready to have the war over and not much came of this last-ditch effort.

The history of this organization is colorful……but it is not the organization that gave rise to AQ or ISIS……some tactics may be similar but so are some of those used by the Great Khan….

The Werewolves were originally organised by the SS and the Hitler Youth as a diversionary operation on the fringes of the Third Reich, which were occupied by the Western Allies and the Soviets in the autumn of 1944. Some 5,000 — 6,000 recruits were raised by the winter of 1944-45, but numbers rose considerably in the following spring when the Nazi Party and the Propaganda Ministry launched a popular call to arms, beseeching everybody in the occupied areas — even women and children — to launch themselves upon the enemy. In typical Nazi fashion, this expansion was not co-ordinated by the relevant bodies, which were instead involved in a bureaucratic war among themselves over control of the project. The result was that the movement functioned on two largely unrelated levels: the first as a real force of specially trained SS, Hitler Youth and Nazi Party guerrillas; the second as an outlet for casual violence by fanatics

The tactics used by ISIS or AQ are just updated versions of “Art of War” and tactics used by the great Khan…..to mention only a few….

Yes a connection can be made…..like a connection can be made that the US waqs the originator of ISIS and AQ……,but that does not make it so….this was fake news and even worse…fake history.

Closing Thought–14Mar17

They Are ALL Nazis!

Before some witless dolt throws the Godwin Law at me for this post….I say read it then make your goddamn comment.

It appears that Turkey’s dictator has news for the world but especially Europe

The Turkish president lashed out at criticisms against him and his government’s actions on Wednesday, calling Europe the “real Nazis.” He warned European leaders to abandon their double standards or risk losing Turkey.

“Without any shame, ignoring their own blood-stained hands and without considering their own callous hearts, they draw comparisons between us and the Nazis,” Recep Tayyip Erdogan told a business conference in Istanbul. “If there are any Nazis, it is you who are the Nazis.

“The Nazi mentality emerged in the West, not the East. It was our ancestors who reached out and saved the lives of those they chased away,” he said. “It can only be a result of delirium to compare Turkey to the Nazis, when neo Nazism is at a peak in Europe.”

This douche is a piece of work……so according to him, Erdogan, this is what Europe looks like……

Like I said…what a douche!
What a closing for the day, huh?
Back in the marrow with more incredible stuff….chuq

Closing Thought–09Jan17

From The Days Of Old……

There is much hysteria in Germany these days (most of Europe as well)…..immigrants are being accused of all sorts of crimes….I am not saying that some are not committing these crimes just that they are being blamed for most of the crime.

There has even been a story circulating on some conservative websites about an increase in the sell of “chastity belts” in Germany….there are other stories along these lines……(at this point an image from Monty Python comes looming into my head….and like most of Python’s stuff…I get a chuckle)

With all this hysteria over immigrants there has been a rise in far right political parties in Europe….from Holland to Hungary to Macedonia….seems no country is immune to this fear and loathing….and Germany is NO different.

With this fear comes the news that there is a rise in the time worn “classic” from their past…..”Mein Kampf”…..

Germany has “a surprise bestseller” on its hands, reports the Guardian. Some 85,000 copies of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf sold in Germany in the first year the book was published there since World War II. Andreas Wirsching of the Institute of Contemporary History—which began publishing scholarly copies in January of last year after a copyright expired, with the goal to challenge Hitler’s ideas—says the company is “overwhelmed” by the number, which works out to about 233 copies sold per day. A sixth print run will launch at the end of the month and English and French editions are in the works, but Wirsching says “it would be irresponsible to just let this text spread arbitrarily,” per the BBC.

This should be disturbing on many levels……

This is it for today my friends…see ya tomorrow.

Remembering D-Day

72 years ago today the Allies opened up their second front against the Nazi war machine…..D-Day….and it was the beginning of the end of Nazi Germany….

Probably the last legitimate war the US would participate in…

Take a moment and remember those that gave their all to save the world from a mad man….

Apparently there are not many left behind that remember the sacrifices made and the destruction that was wrought on the world……

Truly sad how quickly we forget……

Another One Bites The Dust

After so many years since the end of WW2 you would think that most of the “bad guys’ were dead and gone…..well most are but there are still a few that few still at large waiting their demons to catch up with them…..and another bites the dust…..Alois Brunner is dead, dead, dead………

The world’s most-wanted Nazi is dead, and he died without regrets about his role in the murder of thousands of Jews. That’s according to Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff, who says a German secret service agent recently revealed that Alois Brunner, Adolf Eichmann’s “best man,” died in Syria four years ago at the age of 98, the Times of Israel reports. Brunner handled the deportation of more than 128,000 Jews to Nazi death camps, but he evaded capture and landed in Syria, where he’s said to have advised President Hafez al-Assad on torture methods he honed during his SS tenure, the Daily Express reports. “He was involved in the harsh treatment of the Jewish community of Syria and was an expert in terror and torture,” Zuroff, head of the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Israeli office, tells the Express. “He said himself his one regret was he did not kill more Jews. He was unrepentant.”

Brunner was able to flee because authorities mistakenly hanged SS member Anton Brunner for crimes Alois committed. He then claimed he got paperwork from “American authorities” under an assumed name and served as a US Army driver, Arutz Sheva reports. In 1954, he used a fake Red Cross passport to travel to Rome, then Egypt (where the New York Times reported he rented a room from a Jewish family he described as being “quite nice people, really”) before heading to Syria. Per the Times of Israel, the late Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal wrote in his memoirs, “In my eyes, he was the worst [Third Reich criminal] ever. While Adolf Eichmann drew up the general staff plan for the extermination of the Jews, Alois Brunner implemented it.” Zuroff says the center will now take Brunner’s name off the “wanted” list to concentrate on nabbing other surviving Nazis. (The US hired “at least a thousand” Nazis after WWII, per a new book.)

Personally…..good riddance!  The world is a better place without this son-of-a-bitch!

From Odessa To Brazil

I know why don’t we do something silly today……..like learn something!  That Professor is a mad cap old fart….but loveable……..what’s life without whimsy?

A couple of decades ago there were several forms of entertainment that focused on the Nazi criminals that got away and would set about starting a new Reich……from books like “The Odessa File” to movies like” Marathon Man” and “The Boys of Brazil”…..i am sure that there were others but those were the most popular at the time……..

Like I said….great entertainment but was there any truth to these types of scenarios?

It would have made serious waves—had news of it actually come to light. Some 65 years ago, a group of Germans who had fought with the Nazi-era Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS amassed an army. The revelation surfaced by way of a 321-page file unearthed by accident in the archives of the country’s foreign intelligence agency (a historian hired by the BND to dig into the agency’s origins found the documents, titled “insurances,” while trying to figure out how many employees the BND originally had). What Agilolf Kesselring found instead was details on the 1949 forming of a secret—and, under Allied law, illegal—army by some 2,000 ex-officers, who intended to protect West Germany against the Soviets or Eastern European countries; a study on the documents was published this week.

Der Spiegel notes that the file “is incomplete and thus needs to be considered with some restraint,” but reports on what the document does reveal: That if an attack was launched from the East, 40,000 fighters would protect the country—whose own chancellor didn’t even learn the group existed until 1951, and apparently made no moves to dissolve it. Der Spiegel explains in detail the involvement of Albert Schnez, a WWII colonel who was instrumental in founding the group, seeking funds from like-minded citizens, making contact with veterans groups, asking for help from the West German secret service (which gave it a small amount of money through 1953), and crafting an emergency plan that involved potentially making use of transportation company vehicles and police weapons in case of emergency. It’s not clear when the army disbanded, though Der Spiegel notes that the 1955 creation of the Bundeswehr made it “redundant.”

As a person who appreciates a good conspiracy…….I want to believe that there are still shadowy organizations that still cling to the “good old days” of Nazi Germany…….makes for great debates and exchanges……and excellent entertainment.

Any thoughts?

 

What Is Israel Doing?

Opinion from the desk of the Editor

The so-called “only democracy in the Middle East” learned its history well.

I asked the question, “What Is Israel Doing?”  Recently Netanyahu was pushing for the state of isrel to be termed a “Jewish state”….and boy did that set off a whole array of criticism.

I am beginning to think that Israelis have lost all connection with the history other then using it to get their way…….playing on the world’s guilt……

May I help them here?

In 1933, persecution of the Jews became an active Nazi policy, but at first laws were not as rigorously obeyed or as devastating as in later years. Such clauses, known as Aryan paragraphs, had been postulated previously by antisemitism and enacted in many private organizations.

On April 1, 1933, Jewish doctors, shops, lawyers and stores were boycotted. Only six days later, the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service was passed, banning Jews from being employed in government. This law meant that Jews were now indirectly and directly dissuaded or banned from privileged and upper-level positions reserved for “Aryan” Germans. From then on, Jews were forced to work at more menial positions, beneath non-Jews, pushing them to more labored positions.  (Thanx to wikipedia for the info)……

In other words Jews in the 30’s in Germany became second class citizens…..and theat brings us to the move by the Israeli government……..

Leaders of Israel’s Arab minority have reacted with fury to plans by the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to spearhead legislation defining Israel as “the nation state of the Jewish people”.

Arab Israelis say the law will pave the way for discrimination against them to be entrenched in law.

Liberal Israeli Jews are also warning that Mr Netanyahu’s announcement that his government intends to “provide a constitutional anchor for Israel’s status as the nation state of the Jewish people” is “undemocratic”.

Mr Netanyahu says that a Basic Law is necessary because enemies of Israel are trying to challenge the historical, legal and moral basis of the existence of Israel as a Jewish state.

Taleb al-Sanaa, a former MP, responded yesterday: “This initiative is very dangerous to democracy and pushes the Arab public beyond the borders of the state in a legal sense. It perpetuates the inferiority and marginalisation of the Arabs and is a sure prescription for confrontation. It represents a parting of the waters between the Arab public and the state of Israel.”

“…………..a Basic Law is necessary because enemies of Israel are trying to challenge the historical, legal and moral basis of the existence of Israel as a Jewish state.”  Now take that statement and replace Israel with Germany……..sound familiar?Israel is doing the same thing thing that Germany did in the 1930’s….turning a part of the population into second class citizens…..

Tell me again about the “democracy” of Israel in the Middle East.

Closing note:  I have heard an new oxymoron…….”Hebrew neo-Nazi”………..

The award-winning author said that the term ‘price tag’, widely used to describe the attack, and ‘hill top youths’, the term used to describe the radical settler youths behind the attacks, are sanitized euphemisms.

They are “sweet names for a monster that needs to be called what it is: Hebrew neo-Nazi groups,” Oz said at an event in Tel Aviv, which marked his 75th birthday and publication of his new book.

“Our neo-Nazi groups enjoy the support of numerous nationalist or even racist legislators, as

well as rabbis who give them what is in my view pseudo-religious justification,” he said at the event.

Just seems two words that do not belong together….Hebrew neo-Nazi……..just a thought.

 

Plastic Fantastic Lover!

People of my age will recall the song from the drug days of Jefferson Airplane (ask me where that name came from sometime) but this is about the sex blow-up dolls like Nikki the Greek Goddess (49.95 plus shipping and handling)…….and of course I had to know where did these inflatable lovers originate……you may be surprised……

The Nazis invented the worst thing ever: the assembly-line death factory. But they also invented something else, perhaps the only legacy of theirs that endures to this very day. During World War II, Hitler’s war machine created the world’s first sex doll: Borghild.

The “field-hygienic project” was an initiative of Himmler, who regarded the doll as a “counterbalance” to the sexual drive of his storm troopers. In one of his letters, he mentions the “unnecessary losses” the Wehrmacht had suffered in France, inflicted by street prostitutes. “The greatest danger in Paris are the wide-spread and uncontrolled whores, picking up clients in bars, dance halls and other places. It is our duty to prevent soldiers from risking their health, just for the sake of a quick adventure”. One assumes Himmler also wanted to stop any racial dilution of the great German army.

The world’s first sex doll – or “gynoid” – was built in 1941 by a team of craftsmen from Germany’s Hygiene Museum in Dresden. The project was supervised by a famous technician, Franz Tschakert. He was the “father of the woman of glass”, which happened to be the sensation of the 1930s International Hygiene Exhibition.

Between June 1940 – 1941, IG Farben had already developed a number of ”skin-friendly polymers” for the SS. Their special characteristics: high-tensile strength and elasticity.

Now I have given you the most useless information that you could possibly be exposed to in this life……do tell what thoughts are racing around your brain.

So Now I Am A Nazi! Go Figure!

In my years of activism and radical political thought I have been called many things….a pinko, a commie, a bastard, etc etc…..but the one I have missed I all those years was…….a Nazi.  I figured that with my political views I could eliminate that one as an insult to my beliefs……but I was mistaken!  I am officially a NAZI!

First, I am pro-choice and I know that some of my readers are not……I seldom debate the value of either because no matter how much we twist and shout….our opinions on the subject will stay the same and in these exchanges tempers flair and stuff is said that should not have been said……..I respect my friends that are pro-life and I would hope that they will respect my views also…..

With that said, I am officially a NAZI!  I know….I know….why would I say that?  It was not me that says that but a person on the Right…….

Liberty Counsel’s Matt Barber, at least, has been very open about this.  Just a few weeks ago, he plainly stated that those who support marriage equality or a reproductive rights are “on the wrong side of history” and “advocating things that are equally as horrific” as what the Nazis did.

But just in case that wasn’t clear enough, Barber followed it up today with a another Bonhoeffer/Nazi comparison where he explicitly stated that he is comparing those who support a woman’s right to choose to the Nazis

Let’s be very clear here. What we’re talking about here is, as we’ve long called it, an abortion holocaust. Are we comparing the pro-choice movement to the Nazi movement? Yes! Absolutely.

In recent weeks we talked about how the pro-life movement really embraces the mantle of Dietrich Bonhoeffer …This is the modern-day anti-holocaust movement; the pro-life movement is.

And, you know, I was, a few months ago, in the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC and I was taken by how the arguments that the Nazis made in order to dehumanize the Jews are the same arguments that we hear coming from the so-called pro-choice movement to dehumanize the unborn child.

There you have it….it is official!  According to Barber I am a NAZI!

I try to avoid using insulting language to describe one of my political opponents…..and I will take the high ground here and only say…..if his IQ ever makes it to 80 he should sell!
