A few days ahead of the previous Israeli election, Haaretz’s lead writer Anshel Pfeffer, authored a spectacular analysis of Israel’s current political deadlock: Israelis are going to the polls to decide whether they are ‘Jews’ or ‘Israelis.’
The first to point out the political rivalry between ‘the Jew’and ‘the Israeli’ was Shimon Peres who, after his narrow 1996 defeat, lamented in a Haaretz interview that “the Israelis lost the election.” When Peres asked who won, he answered, “The Jews won.” Peres, who was born in Poland, saw himself as the ‘Israeli’ candidate, Netanyahu, who was born in Israel and served as a commander in the IDF’s top unit, was in Peres’ eyes, the political choice of the ‘Jews.’ Peres’s observation was spot on. Politically astute and well imbued in early Zionist thought, Peres identified the emerging Identitarian conflict that was destined to break up Israeli society.
Pfeffer pointed out that in the 1990s Netanyahu was influenced by his American campaign guru, Arthur Finkelstein, to accept that “Jewishness” is the primary unifier for Israelis. This clearly applies to religious Jews but it is also true of those who regard themselves as secular and/or leftist.
While early Zionism can be understood as an uncompromising attempt to divorce the Jews from Jewishness, the ghetto and tribalism to make them “people like all other people,” the Israeli Right/Religious political call is openly driven by a nostalgic adherence to the myths of the shtetl and its walls, segregation and every other aspect of Jewish tribalism, chauvinism included. As bizarre as it may sound, Netanyahu’s transformation of Israel into a Jewish ghetto surrounded by walls and defined by a ‘Jewish National Bill’ makes him, by early Zionist standards, into an ardent anti-Zionist.
According to Pfeffer, when Netanyahu returned to power in 2009 and formed a right-wing/ religious coalition, “the Jews prevailed” and have done so ever since. On Monday, Netanyahu won a significant political and personal victory. He earned the votes of the people despite his complicated legal situation and some would even say, because of his legal complications. In this rivalry between the ‘Israeli’ and the ‘Jew,’ the ‘Israeli’ is beaten time after time and the ‘Jew’ consistently prevails. The ‘Jews,’ as Shimon Peres referred to them, see in Netanyahu a clear path towards a true spiritual homecoming. Being Likudnics can be realized as a true celebration of who and what they truly are. The ‘Israelis,’ on the other hand, were hoping for Gantz and Kachol Lavan to revive the early Zionist promise to be emancipated from what they are and to finally become people like all other Goyim whether this means nationalist patriots or cosmopolitan pacifist. The demography of the ‘Jewish’ camp and its Israeli’ rival is pretty much separated. Netanyahu is largely supported by Mizrahi Jews and the Israeli Religious sectors (the orthodox and settlers). Gantz and Kachol Lavan have managed to ignite the imagination of the old elites: the Ashkenazi and educated Israelis. The ‘Jews,’ as Peres referred to them, love Bibi because he manipulates the Goyim. He reduced America into an Israeli colony and practically a ‘side in the conflict’ (as opposed to an impartial negotiator). They are proud of their Bibi and his ability to puppeteer world leaders. He bonds with the Diaspora and the Lobby, he also manages to keep American taxpayers’ dollars flowing. Bibi, as far as they can tell, is the best thing that happened in modern Jewish history. The ‘Israelis’ vote Kachol Lavan because they don’t like Netanyahu, they can’t stand the idea that his voters and they are considered ‘one people.’ The ‘Israeli’ shares little with the religious sectors, the settlers and even less with the ‘Jews’ who live in the periphery. The ‘Israeli’ would like Netanyahu to be locked up behind bars and subliminally hope that his voters will evaporate into thin air. Kachol Lavan is not a center party. Its vision of the conflict is actually to the right of the Likud party and its vision of social matters is vague to non-existent. It is more likely that its leaders, veteran IDF Generals, evoke amongst the ‘Israelis’ nostalgic memories of 1967: an Ashkenazi ruled state, committed to the Zionist mantra of the rejection of Jewishness. But the ‘Israeli’ was defeated again on Monday. Nostalgia for the most heroic moment in Israeli history didn’t seem to mature into the necessary revolution and Gantz may have finished his political role. It is likely that Kachol Lavan will disintegrate into its elements in the coming weeks. The phantasy of becoming ‘people like all other people’ has collapsed for two obvious reasons: 1. no other people want to be like all other people. 2. The ‘Israeli’ is far more Jewish than he or she is willing to admit. Arthur Finkelstein figured it out in the 1990s and Netanyahu continues to follow his campaign mentor, refining his political agenda in line with Judeo-centrism. In the state that calls itself the ‘Jewish State,’ the ‘Israeli’ is gradually becoming rare, he has been supplanted by ‘the Jew.’ My battle for truth and freedom involves some expensive legal services and security expenses. I hope that you will consider committing to a monthly donation in whatever amount you can give. Regular contributions will enable me to avoid being pushed against a wall and to stay on top of the endless harassment by Zionist operators attempting to silence me. Donate
Gilad Atzmon is an Israeli-born British jazz saxophonist, novelist, political activist, and writer. Atzmon’s album Exile was BBC jazz album of the year in 2003. Playing over 100 dates a year, he has been called “surely the hardest-gigging man in British jazz.” His albums, of which he has recorded nine to date, often explore the music of the Middle East and political themes. He has described himself as a “devoted political artist.” He supports the Palestinian right of return and the one-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. His criticisms of Zionism, Jewish identity, and Judaism, as well as his controversial views on The Holocaust and Jewish history, have led to allegations of antisemitism from both Zionists and anti-Zionists. A profile in The Guardian in 2009 which described Atzmon as “one of London’s finest saxophonists” stated: “It is Atzmon’s blunt anti-Zionism rather than the music that has given him an international profile, particularly in the Arab world, where his essays are widely read.” His book The Wandering Who? is available at Amazon.com www.gilad.co.uk


veteranstoday--2020-03-05--Multipolar Alliance Induces Rumpelstiltskin’s Self-Destruction

There are several versions of the old German folk tale of Rumpelstiltskin .
The story begins with a greedy king who is told by a foolish old miller that a young girl ( the miller ’ s daughter ) had the ability to spin hay into gold .
When the poor girl is locked into a tower with bales of straw , a loom and orders to transform it all into gold under threat of death , a magical imp appears out of thin air and they reach an agreement : He will use his magic to spin the hay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ girl gives the imp her firstborn child .
The greedy king is pleased with the wealth that appeared from thin air , and the daughter ’ s neck is saved .
Sadly the day eventually arrives for her to give up a child , and the imp in sadistic glee responds to her pleading tears by giving her three chances annul the contract .
All she has to do is guess his name .
To make a long story short , his name is discovered and Rumpelstiltskin literally tears himself to pieces in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think this story exemplifies the self-cannibalization of the deep state over the past several years quite nicely .
It appeared for quite some time that the oligarchy managing the world ’ s financial system and military-intelligence community from above was able to do magic .
If they wanted a nation overthrown , or a troublesome elected official killed , a mere snap of the fingers was all it took .
Gold from straw ?
They could do that too !
Just look at the mass of $ 1.5 quadrillion dollars of derivatives claims @ @ @ @ @ @ @ air in the mere space of 30 years !
Seriously , back in 1990 , these fictitious assets ( forms of bets on insurance on securitized debts ) amounted to little more than $ 2 trillion and 10 years before that , had barely any existence whatsoever .
NOW… they amount to over twenty times the world ’ s GDP !
How was this possible when the real economy ( agro-industrial/infrastructure capital which supports real-life ) was permitted to atrophy during that same space of time ?
Magic !
Such are the powers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was no shortage of idiot kings in our modern story either .
A cleptocracy rose to prominence in the west in a scale unseen in human history .
Billionaire speculators , hedge fund managers and other useless nouveau rich devoid of any actual productive skill rose to positions of power and prestige under this new system of globalization and used their wealth and influence to become enforce of the system that gave them their money and status .
The Bloombergs of this world were more than happy to unquestioningly accept the idea that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and happily became thugs and mini tyrants for the machine .
It was all magic… mixed with a good dose of the arrogance of course .
But then one day , the magic stopped working .
The banking system started rupturing and the magic wands had to be used more often .

Terrorists not only destabilized troublesome nation-states as a form of asymmetric warfare but also provided a convenient excuse to bomb governments targeted for regime change .
China followed suit by investing massively into the development sector- just as the west had done for years- but with one very big difference : INTENTION .
China animated its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Middle East and beyond with the intention to actually create prosperity , infrastructure and economic independence in those countries receiving loans .

There are several versions of the old German folk tale of Rumpelstiltskin. The story begins with a greedy king who is told by a foolish old miller that a young girl (the miller’s daughter) had the ability to spin hay into gold. When the poor girl is locked into a tower with bales of straw, a loom and orders to transform it all into gold under threat of death, a magical imp appears out of thin air and they reach an agreement:
He will use his magic to spin the hay into gold on the condition that the girl gives the imp her firstborn child. The greedy king is pleased with the wealth that appeared from thin air, and the daughter’s neck is saved.
Sadly the day eventually arrives for her to give up a child, and the imp in sadistic glee responds to her pleading tears by giving her three chances annul the contract. All she has to do is guess his name. To make a long story short, his name is discovered and Rumpelstiltskin literally tears himself to pieces in a fit of mad rage.
I think this story exemplifies the self-cannibalization of the deep state over the past several years quite nicely.
It appeared for quite some time that the oligarchy managing the world’s financial system and military-intelligence community from above was able to do magic. If they wanted a nation overthrown, or a troublesome elected official killed, a mere snap of the fingers was all it took. Gold from straw?
They could do that too! Just look at the mass of $1.5 quadrillion dollars of derivatives claims which appeared as though out of thin air in the mere space of 30 years! Seriously, back in 1990, these fictitious assets (forms of bets on insurance on securitized debts) amounted to little more than $2 trillion and 10 years before that, had barely any existence whatsoever. NOW… they amount to over twenty times the world’s GDP! How was this possible when the real economy (agro-industrial/infrastructure capital which supports real-life) was permitted to atrophy during that same space of time? Magic!
Such are the powers of today’s Rumpelstiltskin.
There was no shortage of idiot kings in our modern story either. A cleptocracy rose to prominence in the west in a scale unseen in human history. Billionaire speculators, hedge fund managers and other useless nouveau rich devoid of any actual productive skill rose to positions of power and prestige under this new system of globalization and used their wealth and influence to become enforce of the system that gave them their money and status.
The Bloombergs of this world were more than happy to unquestioningly accept the idea that they “earned” their billions, and happily became thugs and mini tyrants for the machine. It was all magic… mixed with a good dose of the arrogance of course.
But then one day, the magic stopped working.
The banking system started rupturing and the magic wands had to be used more often. More bailouts, more overnight repo loans for bankrupt speculators (today clocking in at $100 billion/night), more money printing out of thin air and more debt to carry over till next quarter with no thought of paying it off.
Soon after the straw stopped turning into gold, the god-like powers of regime change also stopped working. Libya worked fine of course when it was magically thrown back into the stone age joining Iraq and Afghanistan… but Ukraine was harder, and Syria followed by Venezuela were harder still. Why did the magic formula stop working?
The answer in short: Russia and China both guessed the name.
Once the name was said aloud, the empire was increasingly exposed for all to see as the bluff masquerading as a God which it always was. Calling the name of the empire was like a spiritual ointment for many who feared the unknown, un-nameable creatures of the dark shadows. Like any shadow confronted with the light, this imp ceased to exert the influence it wished to hold onto the minds and hearts of its victims… and the image of omnipotence it worked so hard to project onto the world turned out to be just that… a projection and nothing more.
President Putin demonstrated how it is possible with one-tenth of the expenses of the US military to destroy ISIS in Syria by the simple application of an intention to actually do it. This intention was always absent from the minds of western geopoliticians who actually preferred to have a growing network of terrorists spread across the Middle East and Africa. Terrorists not only destabilized troublesome nation-states as a form of asymmetric warfare but also provided a convenient excuse to bomb governments targeted for regime change.
China followed suit by investing massively into the development sector- just as the west had done for years- but with one very big difference: INTENTION. China animated its investments into Africa, Asia, the Middle East and beyond with the intention to actually create prosperity, infrastructure and economic independence in those countries receiving loans. They didn’t use this with magic, but simply by ensuring their money would be invested into genuine nation-building projects disconnected from any usurious conditionalities.
With the important ingredient of intention to actually end terrorism, hunger, disease, and poverty infused into global policy-making by Russia and China, the Rumpelstilskins lost more of their power. The empire always relied on the illusion of noble ends but never the substance or means to carry them out. This substance is located entirely in the domain of intention.
In the west, the shadow creature was given a name (deep state), and with that name, and identity, and modus operandi were identified.
With that identification, resistance began to organically emerge as nations found the courage to take a stand- preferring to work with honest partners like Russia, China, and the Belt and Road Initiative rather than cling onto the Titanic of the sinking western system.
Within America, Rumpelstiltskin spasmed in rage and moved in desperation to defend himself when a leader surprisingly came to power extolling friendly relations with Russia and China. This was done first with the sloppy manufacture of Russia-Gate and then the sloppier manufacture of Ukraine-gate… but that also didn’t work. Whether it took the form of left-wing socialists or capitalist orange nationalists, the magic once used to easily destroy such troublesome expressions of patriotism in America stopped working as fast as had their bailout powers, or regime change hocus pocus.
When you watch today’s democratic primary debates and laugh at the fanatic sloppiness of Rumpelstiltskin’s left-wing champions cannibalize each other (and themselves) in the process, or as you listen to right-wing Rumpelstilskins froth in rage at China’s tyrannical Belt and Road Initiative “empire”, keep in mind that the game, as they say, is really up. The name has been called out, the imp is busy tearing himself to pieces and to the surprise of many who had lost all hope just a few years ago, this story may actually have a happy ending after all.

veteranstoday--2020-03-05--Cowardly: Israel Uses Two Airliners as Human Shields in Syria Attack

RT/Moscow : Two civilian airplanes bound for Qatar were reportedly used as cover by Israeli jets launching missiles from Lebanese airspace against targets near the Syrian cities of Homs and Quneitra .
Syrian air defenses engaged incoming missiles shortly after midnight local time on Thursday , both near Homs in central Syria and Quneitra in the south , on the armistice line with Israeli-occupied Golan Heights .
Following the attack , reports appeared that at least two flights – one passenger , one cargo – had to change course to avoid getting struck by air defense missiles .

veteranstoday--2020-03-05--Bernie, It was Conservatism NOT communism that built America

This past week I was in Washington DC to attend the CPAC ( Conservative Political Action Conference ) hosted by the American Conservative Union .
Over the years of writing for Veterans Today I have taken my share of flak for my conservative view points , but then again I earned that right serving in The Corps .
Unless you have been asleep the past decade , and in particular , the last four years , and if you served in the military , the political landscape in this country would have to make you sick .
We have a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ great country who just don ’ t like it here .
Many do not have a decent thing to say about America yet I don ’ t see any of them waiting in lines to leave our country .
I think it is safe to say that all those has-beens , elitists , and out-and-out Marxists running for a chance to represent the “ Democrats ” in the 2020 Presidential Election , literally hate this country .
.
.
just listen to them !
Then ask yourself why anyone who thinks so little @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on top of such a racist , homophobic , and misogynistic country .
Unfortunately for America , all of them who would have to be sworn into office should he/she win the presidency , would not be able to take the oath of office .
In fact , many of them at some point in their careers , have already taken an oath of office very similar to that which will be administered to the newly elected president .
To anyone of moderate intelligence , they have already violated the solemn words in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a public office or military in the past .
To now represent the Democrat Party , they must be considered LIARS !
In short , their support of the actions against the sitting President in the “ Deep State ” coup d ’ etat ( the bogus impeachment effort ) , is only part and parcel to the other violations they are proposing under their Democrat Platform .
• Proposing to overturn the Second Amendment which would take a new Constitutional Amendment .
• Not defending the U.S .
Borders ( their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Their support of two systems of justice ; one for we the people , a second one for themselves .
• Inciting a massive government takeover of services not listed in the 10th Amendment ( This amendment states that any power not specifically given to the federal government by the Constitution belongs to the States and the people – healthcare , education , free student college tuition , free services for illegal aliens , etc. )
.
All Americans should consider the Oath of Office a key component of government because it has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The U.S. Constitution mandates that all Federal civil servants , including members of Congress , take an oath to faithfully execute their duty to “ support and defend ” the nation against all enemies .
From Cornell Law : “ I , _______ , do solemnly swear ( or affirm ) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies , foreign and domestic ; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same ; that I take this obligation freely , without any mental @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter .
So help me God.
” This section does not affect other oaths required by law .
My venture to Washington for this educational conference is one that would benefit those citizens who have any doubt about what has made America the greatest country on earth .
Believe me , it wasn ’ t government handout programs or socialistic schemes that deprive the average citizen of his/her ability to succeed .
There are those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of conservatism , until it comes time to extract bits and pieces that fit a given narrative that benefits only themselves .
Often some people don ’ t want to learn the historic relevance of conservatism because it is just too easy or they are just too lazy to think beyond the media headlines that seldom apply logical thought to the narrative they are so proud of trying to sway .
A quick refresher course in conservative thought is that there a difference between Edmund Burke ’ s original notion of conservatism and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Burke is considered the father of modern conservatism , there are many differences with the term Conservatism from the late eighteenth century of Burke ’ s time , to the conservatism we see in today ’ s American political arena .
Burke championed the search for truth with as much integrity as his opponents , those of the Age of Enlightenment thinkers , but from an entirely different perspective .
The Age of Enlightenment was during the 17th to 19th century in Europe where John Locke and the French philosophers idealized the potential @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the possibility of creating a better world .
Burke took a position that challenged their ideals with a dose of realism .
His conservative challenges were important because they dragged enlightenment idealism back to earth .
Burke accomplished this by pointing out the limits of reason , while arguing the importance of intuition , along with the wisdom of the ages , on which tradition is based .
It is in this period of “ differences ” we find a conservative thought to challenge the new idealistic firestorm that spread across Europe and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Burke viewed colonialism as a bad idea , and considered radicalism as dangerous , and democracy as a threat to social stability .
He considered governmental conventions as spiritually based and not to be tinkered with .
As Burke said in one of his parliamentary speeches ( 1782 ) , “ Prescription is the most solid of all titles , not only to property , but , which is to secure that property , to government .
.
.
far different than our thoughts today regarding an individual ’ s right to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ human equality in the eyes of God , he felt no such compunction for equality here on earth .
Yet , “ his respect for a higher power was essential to his philosophy , that no matter what the religion , the Church and State were inseparable , but in spiritual , not a mechanical sense .
Both were derived from God .
He also believed Government finds its authority not on a social contract , but on virtuous principles and that there is a collective intellect , seeped in ancient wisdom , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We learn about principle through the understanding of nature and history ” .
Some of Burke ’ s thoughts run contrary to modern sensibilities .
Today Americans are taught to believe in and cherish democracy .
This however , was not the case for the Founders of the United States , whose distrust of the masses produced a republican form of government instead ( a democratic representative republican form of government that is ) .
While this was “ democratic , ” in the true sense of the word , it was not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was seen as an early safeguard against democracy and insures the vote of the minority will be protected , because it was designed to protect the people from abuse of the majority over the minority .
The Democrat Party also implemented a form of the electoral college with what they call the so-called “ super-delegates ” used in their primary presidential election procedures .
Those who follow politics from the liberal progressive side of politics , claim “ the times have changed ” - That the United States is now home to obscene @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and general disregard for the rest .
They claim the wealth disparity we see today between the haves and the have-nots would horrify Jefferson , who believed that the Founders , to the last man standing , were morally incapable of such greed .
Therefore , we must now disregard the Constitutional process which has served America well for more than 250 years .
Yet in taking the Oath of Office , our leaders swear to protect the Constitution !
Jefferson believed virtue in the new government of the U.S. , would protect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contradicts the basic tenant for all to have the right to life , liberty , and the pursuit of happiness , and if I may interject , the opportunity to succeed as nowhere else in the world .
The Founders would never have uttered a thought about restricting any American from being successful or in forcing a citizen to share his prosperity with others .
While Jefferson and the Founders thoughts were commendable , Burke ’ s observations ended up closer to the truth .
For Jefferson and the Founder ’ s ideas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who have to make such ideas work , meaning they have to be open and interested in the functioning of government .
The term “ morality ” has to be more than a “ feel-good ” phase .
While Jefferson , the Founders , and Enlightenment thinkers of those days placed “ virtue ” at the top of the list of human values , it turned out to be “ greed and the lust for power ” , which took over the top slots as our government matured .
.
.
surprise , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as stated in the Federalist Papers , spelled out their fears that the so-called project of “ democracy ” comes with a great responsibility .
Those who vote only to fulfill their “ duty ” can consider their duty done well when they understand the ramifications of who and what they are voting for .
After studying both sides of an issue are they then in a position to cast an “ informed ballot ” .
.
.
not before !
If they have not been open to both sides of an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It is important that candidates and political parties must be held accountable for their actions , which never seems to occur .
The media has to report what is going on with integrity , not the “ fake news ” we have seen from the media over the last two decades , and not by treating everyone with the same disregard for the truth .
It seems there has been no regard to the over abused buzz-phase , “ fair and balanced ” which all sounds logical but does not enforce a level @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wrong .
Legitimate “ think tanks ” have tried to be more concerned about the truth , with all its nuances , rather than the media ’ s obvious goal to trying to shape people ’ s thoughts .
If democracy is considered dangerous because of the faults of the governed , who should actually lead the nation ?
Burke , like many in his time , believed that the upper class should be the leader ; those who are cultured , well educated , and wealthy enough to resist corruption .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the aristocracy along with successful business people , rather than the people at large .
We see that power and wealth are no safeguards against corruption .
As a matter of fact , just the opposite is more likely to occur .
We see many powerful and wealthy people indulge in abuse of governmental powers without restraint .
Even in Plato ’ s Republic only people of real virtue were to be placed in control , so that virtue will most likely be found at the top of the list of qualities desired @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , is not a replication of Burke ’ s idea of conservatism though many similarities remain .
Conservatism is a political and social philosophy that promotes traditional social institutions in the context of culture and civilization , emphasizing social stability and continuity .
Conservative philosophy is as old as Western civilization itself and was ultimately formulated into the coherent political philosophy at the time of the founding of the United States , and became the basis of the U.S. Constitution which has served the country well for all these years .
In a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and the conservative philosophy has enabled the United States to become most powerful economic nation on earth and the defender of peace and liberty for all .
The fundamentals of American conservatism thought are basic concepts .
They claim there are 4 pillars , but there really are 5 pillars of modern conservatism : “ The first pillar of conservatism is liberty , or freedom .
Conservatives believe that individuals possess the right to life , liberty , and property , and freedom from the restrictions of arbitrary force .
They exercise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ natural free will .
It means political liberty , the freedom to speak your mind on matters of public policy .
It means religious liberty—to worship as you please , or not to worship at all .
It also means economic liberty , the freedom to own property and to allocate your own resources in a free market ” “ The second pillar of conservative philosophy is tradition and order , that have been established over centuries and that have led to an orderly society .
“ The third pillar is the rule @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the belief that it is crucial to have a legal system that is predictable , that allows people to know what the rules are and enforce those rules equally for all ” .
“ The fourth pillar is belief in God .
Belief in God means adherence to the broad concepts of religious faith—such things as justice , virtue , fairness , charity , community , and duty ” .
It is interesting to note that the reference to “ Belief in God ” , make no mention of a specific religion .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ all religions and on which conservatives base their philosophy .
“ My fifth pillar of conservatism is the need for a government with a sense of fiduciary propriety .
And though over the last couple of decades , this pillar has seemingly lost it way , it is as important to the foundation of the government and the governed that transcends most other concerns.
” It was Benjamin Franklin who prophetically stated , “ When the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that they can bribe the vote of the taxpayer by promising to implement giveaway programs paid for from the U.S. Treasury .
This has been a tenant of both conservatives and liberal progressives and must by stopped for the sake of the country .
Almost every Republican running for office—whether for school board or U.S. senator—will try to establish his place on the political spectrum based on how conservative he is .
Even Democrats sometimes distinguish among members of their own party in terms of conservatism .
How should we see democracy today @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voters do not adequately educate themselves on the issues , are easily swayed by ideological strategists , and often cast their votes for reasons unrelated to the office .
Elections have boiled down to popularity contests based on negative advertising .

General Managers Note: This article paints U.S. Presidential Candidate and U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders as an advocate for Communism when, in fact, he is openly advocating for Democratic Socialism. So to ensure intelligent discourse, we offer readers the proper definitions below so this article is read and discussed in an educated context.
Communism is a philosophical, social, political, economic ideology and movement whose ultimate goal is the establishment of a communist society, namely a socioeconomic order structured upon the ideas of common ownership of the means of production and the absence of social classes, money, and the state.
Democratic socialism is a political philosophy supporting political democracy within a socially owned economy, with a particular emphasis on workers’ self-management and democratic control of economic institutions within a market socialist economy or some form of a decentralized planned socialist economy.

This past week I was in Washington DC to attend the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) hosted by the American Conservative Union. Over the years of writing for VT, I have taken my share of flak for my conservative viewpoints, but then again I earned that right serving in The Corps.
Unless you have been asleep the past decade, and in particular, the last four years, and if you served in the military, the political landscape in this country would have to make you sick. We have a gaggle of leftists who live in this great country who just don’t like it here. Many do not have a decent thing to say about America yet I don’t see any of them waiting in lines to leave our country.
I think it is safe to say that all those has-beens, elitists, and out-and-out Marxists running for a chance to represent the “Democrats” in the 2020 Presidential Election, literally hate this country . . . just listen to them! Then ask yourself why anyone who thinks so little or the U.S. would want to sit on top of such a racist, homophobic, and misogynistic country.
Unfortunately for America, all of them who would have to be sworn into office should he/she win the presidency, would not be able to take the oath of office.
In fact, many of them at some point in their careers, have already taken an oath of office very similar to that which will be administered to the newly elected president.
To anyone of moderate intelligence, they have already violated the solemn words in the oaths they took if they served in a public office or military in the past. To now represent the Democrat Party, they must be considered LIARS! In short, their support of the actions against the sitting President in the “Deep State” coup d’etat (the bogus impeachment effort), is only part and parcel to the other violations they are proposing under their Democrat Platform.
Proposing to overturn the Second Amendment which would take a new Constitutional Amendment.
Not defending the U.S. Borders (their open border/sanctuary city policy).
Their support of two systems of justice; one for we the people, a second one for themselves.
Inciting a massive government takeover of services not listed in the 10th Amendment (This amendment states that any power not specifically given to the federal government by the Constitution belongs to the States and the people – healthcare, education, free student college tuition, free services for illegal aliens, etc.).
All Americans should consider the Oath of Office a key component of government because it has an Important Historic Legacy . . . The U.S. Constitution mandates that all Federal civil servants, including members of Congress, take an oath to faithfully execute their duty to “support and defend” the nation against all enemies. From Cornell Law:
“I, _______, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” This section does not affect other oaths required by law.
My venture to Washington for this educational conference is one that would benefit those citizens who have any doubt about what has made America the greatest country on earth. Believe me, it wasn’t government handout programs or socialistic schemes that deprive the average citizen of his/her ability to succeed.
There are those who simply do not understand the concept of conservatism until it comes time to extract bits and pieces that fit a given narrative that benefits only themselves. Often some people don’t want to learn the historic relevance of conservatism because it is just too easy or they are just too lazy to think beyond the media headlines that seldom apply logical thought to the narrative they are so proud of trying to sway.
A quick refresher course in conservative thought is that there a difference between Edmund Burke’s original notion of conservatism and what we call conservative today? While Burke is considered the father of modern conservatism, there are many differences with the term Conservatism from the late eighteenth century of Burke’s time, to the conservatism we see in today’s American political arena.
Burke championed the search for truth with as much integrity as his opponents, those of the Age of Enlightenment thinkers, but from an entirely different perspective. The Age of Enlightenment was during the 17th to 19th centuries in Europe where John Locke and the French philosophers idealized the potential of reason, human nature, and the possibility of creating a better world. Burke took a position that challenged their ideals with a dose of realism. His conservative challenges were important because they dragged enlightenment idealism back to earth.
Burke accomplished this by pointing out the limits of reason while arguing the importance of intuition, along with the wisdom of the ages, on which tradition is based. It is in this period of “differences” we find a conservative thought to challenge the new idealistic firestorm that spread across Europe and inspired the founders of the United States.
Burke viewed colonialism as a bad idea and considered radicalism as dangerous, and democracy as a threat to social stability. He considered governmental conventions as spiritually based and not to be tinkered with. As Burke said in one of his parliamentary speeches (1782), “Prescription is the most solid of all titles, not only to property but, which is to secure that property, to government . . . far different than our thoughts today regarding an individual’s right to own private property!
While he conceded human equality in the eyes of God, he felt no such compunction for equality here on earth. Yet, “his respect for a higher power was essential to his philosophy, that no matter what the religion, the Church and State were inseparable, but in spiritual, not a mechanical sense. Both were derived from God.
He also believed the Government finds its authority not on a social contract, but on virtuous principles and that there is a collective intellect, seeped in ancient wisdom, that people inherit and culture safeguards. We learn about principle through the understanding of nature and history”.
Some of Burke’s thoughts run contrary to modern sensibilities. Today Americans are taught to believe in and cherish democracy. This, however, was not the case for the Founders of the United States, whose distrust of the masses produced a republican form of government instead (a democratic representative republican form of government that is). While this was “democratic,” in the true sense of the word, it was not a true democracy.
The electoral college was seen as an early safeguard against democracy and ensures the vote of the minority will be protected because it was designed to protect the people from abuse of the majority over the minority. The Democrat Party also implemented a form of the electoral college with what they call the so-called “super-delegates” used in their primary presidential election procedures.
Those who follow politics from the liberal progressive side of politics, claim “the times have changed”- That the United States is now home to obscene wealth and privilege for the few, and general disregard for the rest. They claim the wealth disparity we see today between the haves and the have-nots would horrify Jefferson, who believed that the Founders, to the last man standing, were morally incapable of such greed. Therefore, we must now disregard the Constitutional process which has served America well for more than 250 years. Yet in taking the Oath of Office, our leaders swear to protect the Constitution!
Jefferson believed virtue in the new government of the U.S., would protect us from that. This thought totally contradicts the basic tenant for all to have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and if I may interject, the opportunity to succeed as nowhere else in the world. The Founders would never have uttered a thought about restricting any American from being successful or in forcing a citizen to share his prosperity with others.
While Jefferson and the Founder’s thoughts were commendable, Burke’s observations ended up closer to the truth. For Jefferson and the Founder’s ideas to work, it is the citizens who have to make such ideas work, meaning they have to be open and interested in the functioning of government. The term “morality” has to be more than a “feel-good” phase. While Jefferson, the Founders, and Enlightenment thinkers of those days placed “virtue” at the top of the list of human values, it turned out to be “greed and the lust for power”, which took over the top slots as our government matured . . . surprise, surprise, surprise!
The Founding Fathers, as stated in the Federalist Papers, spelled out their fears that the so-called project of “democracy” comes with great responsibility. Those who vote only to fulfill their “duty” can consider their duty done well when they understand the ramifications of who and what they are voting for.
After studying both sides of an issue are they then in a position to cast an “informed ballot” . . . not before! If they have not been open to both sides of an issue, they are truly uninformed. It is important that candidates and political parties must be held accountable for their actions, which never seems to occur.
The media has to report what is going on with integrity, not the “fake news” we have seen from the media over the last two decades, and not by treating everyone with the same disregard for the truth. It seems there has been no regard to the over abused buzz-phase, “fair and balanced” which all sounds logical but does not enforce a level of competency regarding what is right and wrong. Legitimate “think tanks” have tried to be more concerned about the truth, with all its nuances, rather than the media’s obvious goal to trying to shape people’s thoughts.
If democracy is considered dangerous because of the faults of the governed, who should actually lead the nation? Burke, like many in his time, believed that the upper class should be the leader; those who are cultured, well educated, and wealthy enough to resist corruption. The most trusted opinion and goodwill of the aristocracy along with successful business people, rather than the people at large.
We see that power and wealth are no safeguards against corruption. As a matter of fact, just the opposite is more likely to occur. We see many powerful and wealthy people indulge in the abuse of governmental powers without restraint. Even in Plato’s Republic, only people of real virtue were to be placed in control, so that virtue will most likely be found at the top of the list of qualities desired of those entering politics.
Conservatism today is not a replication of Burke’s idea of conservatism though many similarities remain. Conservatism is a political and social philosophy that promotes traditional social institutions in the context of culture and civilization, emphasizing social stability and continuity.
Conservative philosophy is as old as Western civilization itself and was ultimately formulated into the coherent political philosophy at the time of the founding of the United States, and became the basis of the U.S. Constitution which has served the country well for all these years. In a real sense, conservatism is Western civilization, and the conservative philosophy has enabled the United States to become the most powerful economic nation on earth and the defender of peace and liberty for all.
The fundamentals of American conservatism thought are basic concepts. They claim there are 4 pillars, but there really are 5 pillars of modern conservatism:
“The first pillar of conservatism is liberty or freedom. Conservatives believe that individuals possess the right to life, liberty, and property, and freedom from the restrictions of arbitrary force. They exercise these rights through the use of their natural free will. It means political liberty, the freedom to speak your mind on matters of public policy. It means religious liberty—to worship as you please, or not to worship at all. It also means economic liberty, the freedom to own property and to allocate your own resources in a free market”
“The second pillar of conservative philosophy is tradition and order, that have been established over centuries and that has led to an orderly society.
“The third pillar is the rule of law. Conservatism is based on the belief that it is crucial to have a legal system that is predictable, that allows people to know what the rules are and enforce those rules equally for all”.
“The fourth pillar is the belief in God. Belief in God means adherence to the broad concepts of religious faith—such things as justice, virtue, fairness, charity, community, and duty”. It is interesting to note that the reference to “Belief in God”, makes no mention of a specific religion. These are the concepts generally established by all religions and on which conservatives base their philosophy.
“My fifth pillar of conservatism is the need for a government with a sense of fiduciary propriety. And though over the last couple of decades, this pillar has seemingly lost its way, it is as important to the foundation of the government and the governed that transcends most other concerns.”
It was Benjamin Franklin who prophetically stated, “When the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic”). The politicians discovered long ago that they can bribe the vote of the taxpayer by promising to implement giveaway programs paid for from the U.S. Treasury. This has been a tenant of both conservatives and liberal progressives and must be stopped for the sake of the country.
Almost every Republican running for office—whether for school board or U.S. senator—will try to establish his place on the political spectrum based on how conservative he is. Even Democrats sometimes distinguish among members of their own party in terms of conservatism.
How should we see democracy today? The sad truth is that most voters do not adequately educate themselves on the issues, are easily swayed by ideological strategists, and often cast their votes for reasons unrelated to the office. Elections have boiled down to popularity contests based on negative advertising.

Last month, conservationists released three rehabilitated orangutans into Indonesia’s Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park. While monitoring one of the primates, whose name is Unyu, the team was happy to encounter a familiar and unique face. Alba, the world’s only known albino orangutan, made an appearance amid the rainforest—and one year after her own release into the wild, she seems to be doing just great.
With her bright blue eyes and pale fur, Alba is a rarity among rarities. The three species of orangutan—Bornean, Sumatran and Tapanuli—are critically endangered, and today exist only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra and on the island of Borneo, which is shared by Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. These great apes are threatened primarily by habitat loss, as huge swaths of their native forests have been cleared for agricultural purposes, particularly palm oil production. Orangutans are sometimes hunted for food or attacked when their diminishing habitat pushes them into contact with humans.
Orangutans, particularly young ones, are also captured for the illegal pet trade. According to Gizmodo’s George Dvorsky, Alba, a Bornean orangutan, was rescued in 2017 after being captured and caged by villagers in the Indonesian portion of Borneo…

Absurd fairy tales of the Holohoax won’t move our crowd to tears either because we are informed, confirmed and immovable “Holocaust Deniers ™.” So, what’s a Globalist propagandist got to do to divert our relatively small but growing community of truthers away from Hitler Truth? Simple — (((they))) label Hitler a secret “Bolshevik, ” a “Zionist” or a “Rothschild agent” — and then paste together past smears from history and new lies from the present with the flimsiest circumstantial “evidence” to create a phony case.
Sadly, these poison propaganda pills — often packaged within pages and pages of authoritative-sounding hot air and deceptively “supported” by hundreds of “footnotes” which, upon closer inspection, only lead to some other writer’s hot-air — seem to have infected more than a few truthers.

The great British historian and “holocaust denier,” David Irving, flirts with such virtue-signaling from time to time as well, with his erroneous claim that Hitler only wanted a “small war” with Poland (False! Poland, backed-up by France, UK & FDR, started the fight which Hitler did everything possible to avoid); his grossly inaccurate courtroom characterization of Little Joey Goebbels as “evil;” and his post-arrest claim of possible “gas vans” having been utilized by the Germans on the Eastern front, after all.
As an inoculation for the benefit of the weaker-minded among our CyberTruth fraternity, The Real History Channel presents a debunking of eight of the most significant pillars (not all necessarily shared by the aforementioned writers) of the phony case against Hitler being perpetuated by Marxist moles, virtue-signaling chicken-men, and other assorted dupes within our ranks.
Writers Bjerknes (Image 2) and Hoffman (Image 3) regress into irrational and sloppy High School level hacks when writing about Hitler. Might their baseless attacks on The Great One be a form of “virtue-signaling” in a world of normies who recoil at the mere mention of Hitler’s name? Or something more sinister?
Baseless Claim #1:
Hitler Served in a Bavarian Communist Military Unit After World War I
This lie has been around for 100 years now – but only recently has been amplified to new levels. What matters most is not which “scholar” or “credible” right-wing author has repeated it; but rather, who started it.
The third-party “hearsay” originator of this classic “projection” smear was a supposedly “right-wing” English writer named Douglas Reed — who, in his 1940 book, “Nemesis: The Story of Otto Strasser” — claims to have heard this from his hero — Otto Strasser himself. (here) Strasser was an early member of NSDAP (so-called “Nazis”) who, along with his brother Gregor Strasser, led a radical hard-left / anti-business faction of the Party which rivaled that of the pro-business, conservative Hitler faction. Like the Bolsheviks of Russia, the radical leftist Strasser Brothers sought the nationalization of the German industry. According to the Communist website, Spartacus Educational:
“In 1924 he (Strasser) joined forces with his brother, Gregor Strasser, to establish the Berliner Arbeiter Zeitung, a left-wing newspaper, that advocated world revolution. It also supported Lenin and the Bolshevik government in the Soviet Union.”
They were ultimately expelled from the NSDAP in 1930. During his exile from Germany, the traitor Otto Strasser showed his true colors by taking refuge in Czechoslovakia of the Communist Edward Benes, and later, France. He agitated relentlessly against Germany during both peacetime and wartime – spewing filth at Hitler’s Germany for Czechoslovakian radio (before 1938), as well as a number of British, American and Canadian newspapers. After the war, communist East Germany even invited Otto Strasser to come to live there! When he died in 1974, the Jew York Times obituary (which was actually respectful!) compared his anti-business radicalism to that of Leon Trotsky! (here)
This then is the type of human scum which Mr. Bjerknes and others must blindly rely upon — (and through a third party, no less!) to make his case for “Hitler the Bolshevik.”
1. The Strasser Brothers were essentially anti-business Leftists who wanted to head the NSDAP. The logo of their traitorous faction actually resembles the Soviet Hammer & Sickle.
2 & 3. Slanderous projection and garbage hearsay! Anti-Hitler English hack Douglas Reed told us that Leftist Otto Strasser once told him said that Hitler (his rival) belonged to a military unit headed by Bolsheviks after the first World War.
Baseless Claim #2:
The NSDAP was Financed by the Jews
We hear this one all the time; but how few of the people repeating this cooked-up, passed-down, 100-year-old lie realize that the first such smear of Hitler came from an openly pro-Marxist newspaper? It’s true. Co-founded in 1876 by German Communist Wilhelm Liebknecht — “Vorwarts” (Forward), in 1923 – in a clever effort to separate Hitler from his base, claimed that Henry Ford (who tried to expose the Jewish bankers) and American Jewish bankers were financing Hitler.
Hitler filed a libel lawsuit against Vorwarts over this absurd claim — and he won in court (here) because Fake News Marxist Vorwarts was unable to produce any evidence to support their manufactured lie. And neither can the Marxists nor the “Far Right” ™ anti-Hitler moles and dupes of today.
The NSDAP may have collected a negligible amount of money from Jews who are notorious for “hedging their bets” — but the bulk of the money came from wealthy Russian émigrés who had escaped to Germany after the Bolshevik Revolution, wealthy business owners concerned about a Communist takeover in Germany, and lots and lots of small donors who believed in Hitler.
1 & 2. Vorwarts, a junk journal founded 40 years earlier by German Communist leader (and friend of Karl Marx) Wilhelm Liebknecht — was successfully sued by Hitler in 1923 for libeling him as a paid Jewish agent.
3. The up-and-coming firebrand had to be stopped — and what better way to discredit him before his supporters than by libeling him as a Jewish agent!
Baseless Claim #3:
Hitler was a Rothschild / British agent — perhaps even the bastard child of a Rothschild!
In a piece (here) published at our former TomatoBubble home about three years ago, titled, Hitler was NOT a Rothschild-British Agent, yours truly thoroughly addressed this lunatic libel and offered a $500 reward for any actual evidence to support this preposterous propaganda. Still, no takers and the offer still stands. (here)
Far from being a Rothschild agent (secretly trained in England according to some of these crooked crackpots!), or, as some of the really deranged cultists claim, a bloodline Rothschild himself — Hitler was actually the family’s worst nightmare.
In Hitler’s Germany, the Rothschilds, who thrive under the protective cloak of relative anonymity, were made known to every man, woman, and child in Germany. Baron Louis de Rothschild was even arrested and had his bank seized. Have a look below at the headlines and the movie poster for a popular German Hitler-era film about the evil clan.
If Hitler was working for the Rothschilds, he sure wasn’t being a very good employee!
Baseless Claim #4:
Power-Mad Hitler Murdered Innocent Patriots During “The Night of the Long Knives”
When the NSDAP – via popular vote — finally came to power in 1933, the militarily powerful and treasonous Strasser – Rohm faction plotted the violent overthrow of Hitler – a coup attempt which surely would have plunged a still very unstable Germany into a horrible and protracted civil war. Under the proactive leadership of Hitler, Herman Goring, and Heinrich Himmler, the conspiracy was thwarted in 1934 by Operation Hummingbird (hyped-up as the so-called “Night of the Long Knives” by the Fake News of Britain).
Gregor Strasser and Ernst Roehm — the homosexual leftist leader of the powerful paramilitary SA “Storm Troopers / Brown Shirts” — were executed. Given the sympathetic coverage for the executed traitors of Germany in the British press, it seems more likely that Strasser and Roehm — were the British agents, not Hitler!
1. The evil Roehm / Strasser Leftist wing of the NSDAP plotted to overthrow the elected and popular government of Hitler, and plunge Germany into Civil War — and they had enough armed manpower under their control to do it.
2. An honest headline in a western newspaper calls the event, properly a “Storm Troop Coup Broken by Hitler.”
Baseless Claim #5:
Hitler was a Zionist
This ill-informed — idiotic even — attack is based on the August 1933 Haavara Agreement (aka “Transfer Agreement) – a deal reached between the economic authorities of Germany and the German Zionist Jews. It made possible the migration of approximately 60,000 German Jews to British-ruled Palestine from 1933 to 1939.
The motives of the NSDAP for this deal were purely selfish – and had nothing to do with any special love for or obedience to International Zionism. Germany achieved two important objectives from the deal. First, the Zionist Jews used their international clout to end the damaging international boycott (engineered by the Globalist Marxist Jews) of German goods.
Secondly, Haavara was a means to rid Germany of some of its Jewish population, which really wasn’t welcome thereafter the betrayal of World War I and subsequent attempt at a communist revolution.
If you want to know Hitler’s true feelings about Zionism, look no further than Mein Kampf, in which he writes, in 1924:
“While the Zionists try to make the rest of the World believe that the national consciousness of the Jew finds its satisfaction in the creation of a Palestinian state, the Jews again slyly dupe the dumb Goyim.
It doesn’t even enter their heads to build up a Jewish state in Palestine for the purpose of living there; all they want is a central organization for their international world swindler, endowed with its own sovereign rights and removed from the intervention of other states: a haven for convicted scoundrels and a university for budding crooks.”
In 1941, Hitler met with the Haj Amin al-Husseini — the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (Palestine). The two got along extremely well. From The Times of Israel:
Headline: What the Mufti Said to Hitler
The Arabs were Germany’s natural friends, Haj Amin al-Husseini told the Nazi leader in 1941 because they had the same enemies — namely the English, the Jews, and the Communists.
Quoting from the official German record of the meeting:
The Grand Mufti began by thanking the Fuhrer for the great honor he had bestowed by receiving him. He wished to seize the opportunity to convey to the Fuhrer of the Greater German Reich, admired by the entire Arab world, his thanks of the sympathy which he had always shown for the Arab and especially the Palestinian cause, and to which he had given clear expression in his public speeches…
In this struggle, the Arabs were striving for the independence and unity of Palestine, Syria, and Iraq. They had the fullest confidence in the Fuhrer and looked to his hand for the balm on their wounds, which had been inflicted upon them by the enemies of Germany. The Mufti then mentioned the letter he had received from Germany, which stated that Germany was holding no Arab territories and understood and recognized the aspirations to independence and freedom of the Arabs, just as Germany supported the elimination of the Jewish national home.” (emphasis added)
.. .(full record of meeting here)
Hitler the “Zionist,” eh, Mr. Bjerkoff? By the way, this proposed Hitler-Arab military alliance (which never fully materialized due to German difficulties on the eastern front) was being discussed at about the same time as the “Madagascar Plan” was being formulated — a program which would have relocated the Jews of Europe (and Palestine) to the beautiful African island.
1. The Germans used the Transfer Agreement as a necessary means to relax the sanctions against Germany while ridding itself of 60,000 chosenites. Only liars and fools would read anything more into this deal.
2. Years later, the Mufti of Jerusalem and Hitler planned an end to the Jewish Homeland-in-Palestine scheme — but Germany was never able to break through the Central Asian Caucus region because of fierce Soviet resistance.
3. The Madagascar Plan would have transported the Jews to Madagascar, not Palestine!
Baseless Claim #6:
Hitler’s Halt Order at Dunkirk Proves He was a British Agent
No. No. And no! Dear Lord, this is so retarded.
The only thing that Hitler’s gracious act of allowing the British to escape the continent unmolested at Dunkirk proves is that he did not want war and that he believed that the gesture might strengthen the hand of the formidable pro-peace forces in Britain. And indeed, after Dunkirk, the British War Cabinet was divided between the Lord Halifax camp which was willing to hear Hitler’s 3rd party peace proposal (to be delivered by his Italian ally Mussolini), and the Churchill camp which wanted to continue the war. Ultimately, the warmongers outmaneuvered Halifax and the war (due in large measure to FDR’s aid to the UK) continued.
It is perfectly reasonable to say, with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, that Hitler should have captured the 250,000 members “British Expeditionary Force” — but to ascribe the lost opportunity to “treason” is childishly idiotic. If Hitler was a “British agent,” then why even preemptively drive the British away from Norway, Denmark, Belgium, and Holland to begin with? Had Lord Halifax and others succeeded in stopping the war, Hitler would have looked like a genius for his grace at Dunkirk.
Hitler allowed the orderly evacuation from the beaches of Dunkirk as a show of good faith. Only slanderers and idiots would twist that into something nefarious.
Lord Halifax (tall man) wanted the British War Cabinet to end the war — if Hitler’s terms were acceptable. Mad Dog Churchill blocked his efforts to even have the proposals heard.
Baseless Claim 7
“Mad Man” Hitler Doomed Germany by Invading the Soviet Union
This one is Hoffman’s favorite fallacy — and he wastes more ink in his book on this than any other one of his ignorant claims. In so doing, Hoffman displays an astonishing ignorance — perhaps willful, perhaps not — of the real story of World War II, so accurately presented by yours truly in “The Bad War.”
Soviet boss Josef Stalin’s objective all along was to let Germany and Britain wear each out in the West, and then launch a surprise attack from the East (as he had already done to Poland in 1939; and Finland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia in 1940) of such magnitude that it would subdue all of Europe.
Hitler is hardly to blame for launching a preemptive strike, nor is he to blame for the massive amounts of U.S. aid which FDR would ship to Stalin to keep his evil regime afloat until the mighty U.S. could join the fray and open-up additional fronts which Stalin badly needed, and was desperately demanding.
The Great One, in a speech before the Reichstag on December 11, 1941, explains:
“Already in 1940, it became increasingly clear from month to month that the plans of the men in the Kremlin were aimed at the domination, and thus the destruction, of all of Europe. I have already told the nation of the build-up of Soviet military power in the East during a period when Germany had only a few divisions in the provinces bordering Soviet Russia.
Only a blind person could fail to see that a military build-up of world-historical dimensions was being carried out. And this was not in order to protect something that was being threatened, but rather to attack that which seemed incapable of defense …
I may say this today: If the wave of more than 20,000 tanks, hundreds of divisions, tens of thousands of artillery pieces, along with more than 10,000 airplanes, had not been kept from being set into motion against the Reich, Europe would have been lost.” (emphasis added)
The German preemptive strike — code-named Operation Barbarossa — and the heroism of the Waffen SS saved Germany and all of Europe from the same Bolshevik terror that had already exterminated or imprisoned scores of millions in the former Russian Empire. Would Hoffman, in retrospect, have allowed the Soviet hordes to storm all the way to Portugal and do the same? What the hell is the matter with you, Hoffman?!
The fact that Germany ultimately lost the war in the East was a tragedy that ought to be blamed on Franklin Demon Rosenfeld and the Red Jews surrounding him, not Hitler. Read more about this subject — here
1. Stalin was a blood-thirsty monster with designs on taking all of Europe at the opportune moment. Does Hoffman not understand that?
2. Operation Barbarossa — justified, and absolutely necessary
3. Millions of Soviet troops were quickly taken prisoner because they were packed along the front line, in OFFENSIVE positions. The Germans then advanced easily across the undefended territory. There was so little defense behind the front lines because Stalin was planning an invasion of eastern Europe, NOT a defense of Russia.
Baseless Claim #8:
Hitler Did Not Invade England Because He was a British Agent
Really? Then why did he chase the British away from Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Holland, and North Africa? And why did he preemptively block them from arriving in Greece and Yugoslavia? Or are these “researchers” (Bjerknes is big on this bit of bullshit) even aware of the back-story behind such operations? If Hitler was rigging the match against Germany, then why not just allow the British to set-up shop all over Europe from which to squeeze Germany from multiple sides? Logic, people — logic!
The reason why Hitler never acted upon Operation Sea Lion (the invasion of Britain) is that, as early as the fall of 1940, Stalin was already massing forces and causing problems for Germany in the East. Again, we’ll let The Great One (who, by the way, was honest to a fault) explain:
June 22, 1941
“Consistent with the so-called friendship treaty, Germany removed its troops far from its eastern border in spring 1940. Russian forces were already moving in, and in numbers that could only be seen as a clear threat to Germany. According to a statement by Molotov, there were already 22 Russian divisions in the Baltic states in spring 1940.
Although the Russian government always claimed that the troops were there at the request of the people who lived there, their purpose could only be seen as a demonstration aimed at Germany. As our soldiers attacked French-British forces in the west, the extent of the Russian advance on our eastern front grew ever more threatening.
In August 1940, I concluded that, given the increasing number of powerful Bolshevist divisions, it was no longer in the interests of the Reich to leave the eastern provinces, so often devastated by war, unprotected. This, however, is exactly what the British and Soviets had hoped. The fact that so much of the German forces, in particular the air force, was tied down in the east made it impossible for the German leadership to bring a radical end to the war in the West.
This was the goal of both British and Soviet Russian policy. Both England and Soviet Russia wanted to prolong this war as long as possible in order to weaken all of Europe and plunge it into ever greater impotence. Russia’s threatened attack on Romania was intended not only to take over an important element in the economic life not only of Germany, but of Europe as a whole, or at least to destroy it.”
The Fuhrer speaks the truth. Hoffman, Bjerkoff, et al — for whatever reason, do not.
1. Poster in German-occupied France properly depicts the Jewish-led British-Soviet scheming against Germany. This not-so-secret alliance, and the Soviet build-up in the East, greatly complicated any German plans to invade Britain by sea — no easy undertaking.
2 & 3. Operation Sea Lion was prevented by the secretive actions of Stalin, not Hitler.
There are other ridiculous claims made by other ridiculous “researchers” on the “Far Right” ™ — which we can just as easily debunk and/or dismiss for total lack of evidence, as well as lack of logic.
But at some point, when it has become clear what the game is all about — we need to just start ignoring this garbage and call it for what it is: deliberate disinfo originated by “the usual suspects” and aimed directly at the “less sharp-minded” among us — and then retold by deceived innocent writers and bloggers who ought to know better.
More Crap:
Hitler was an occultist — Hitler persecuted Christians (only the Marxist preachers)
Hitler was a blundering traitor who ignored his Generals (actually, more than a few of his generals were the aristocratic-class traitors)
The “Nazi” leaders were closet homosexuals — Hitler had only one testicle — Hitler was the bastard child of a Rothschild
Hitler was brainwashed/mind-controlled as a young man in Britain
Hitler banned gun ownership (exact opposite is true — here)
The “Nazis” utilized mandatory euthanasia (False. Only very rare cases of terminal illness and extreme suffering were permitted)
Hitler abandoned his people and fled to Argentina (debunked here)
Hitler was a drug addict …. blah blah blah.
It is interesting to note that this same dirty game of “projection” — in which “Far Right” ™ analysts and activists of dubious background smear Nationalist leaders as secret Rothschild agents — is today being utilized against Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Bjerknes, in fact, has authored another book of a comedy titled, “Putin’s Reign of Terror,” in which he breathlessly claims that Putin is essentially a Communist Trotskyite who secretly runs ISIS while working hand-in-hand with Trump to subdue the region for Israel. I kid you not!
For his guarded optimism regarding Trump and his Q Anon operation, even your true-blue reporter here has been anonymously (and viciously) smeared in certain forums and on YouTube comments as a “secret Jew” because, according to some of these infiltrators and their innocent dupes, Q Anon is a “Jewish psyop” — ergo, any blogger lending so much as the slightest bit of credence to Q Anon must be a spy too (palm to face, sighing, shaking my head.)
See their game now? It’s all bullshit, boys, and girls, and it’s bad for you.
1. Bjerknes / Bjerkoff’s trio of hard-hitting books exposing “St. Einstein” earned him credibility among many naive people on the “Far Right.” But is he a”Bait and Switch” artist?
2. Bjerknes / Bjerkoff’s “Putin’s Reign of Terror” claims that Putin, like Hitler, is a secret Communist.
3. More virtue-signaling by Hoffman? Jerkoffman — who refers to Hitler fans in the most insulting terms — posts a photo of himself shaking hands with the rabidly anti-White / anti-cop Louis Farrakhan (at Farrakhan’s residence) and refers to the event as “truly an honor.” Newsflash, Mr. Hoffman: Just because Farrakhan was interested in your “anti-Semitic” research, it doesn’t mean that he is on our side!

Next month, Earth will be paid a visit from an old cosmic friend: a two-mile-wide asteroid called (52768) 1998 OR2 that will come within about 4 million miles of our planet. This behemoth will be the largest asteroid to swoop in close to Earth’s orbit in 2020, zooming by at almost 20,000 miles per hour, according to Prabhjote Gill at Business Insider.
Known to researchers since July 1998, this massive space rock offers sky gazers the chance to scope out an object that NASA has previously designated “potentially hazardous,” so named because they occasionally pass near Earth’s orbit and are large enough to cause serious damage on impact.
That said, scientists have known for decades that (52768) 1998 OR2 poses no immediate threat; experts estimate its closest approach will happen on April 16, 2079, when it swoops about 1 million miles from Earth, according to a database maintained by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab. (For perspective, the moon is about four times closer.)
Most of the time, however, the asteroid is careening about on a trajectory that takes it even further out into the solar system, sometimes almost into Jupiter’s neck of the woods. (52768) 1998 OR2 needs three years and eight months to complete a lap around the sun, and may actually be more likely to have a close brush with Mars than Earth.
