Regarded by the website German Art Gallery as one of the most prominent “ Court Painters of the Nazis ” ( amazing this website dares to have the word “ German ” in its name ) Walter Einbeck seems to be -at least- one of the most enigmatic German painters that I have studied so far , not because of the work he produced during the Third Reich era , but for what he created before that period .
To be perfectly clear , I am referring to the esoteric illustrations he created during 1920s Weimar depicting “ angels ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apparently influenced by the teachings of Theosophy , an esoteric trend which was in vogue back in the late 19th Century / beginning of the 20th Century , mostly among intellectuals , thinkers and artists of the period .

Regarded by the website German Art Gallery as one of the most prominent “Court Painters of the Nazis” (amazing this website dares to have the word “German” in its name) Walter Einbeck seems to be -at least- one of the most enigmatic German painters that I have studied so far, not because of the work he produced during the Third Reich era, but for what he created before that period. To be perfectly clear, I am referring to the esoteric illustrations he created during 1920s Weimar depicting “angels” which he called “Wächter”, apparently influenced by the teachings of Theosophy, an esoteric trend which was in vogue back in the late 19th Century / beginning of the 20th Century, mostly among intellectuals, thinkers and artists of the period.
There is a lot of discussion about Theosophy in connection with Helena Blavatsky and The Golden Dawn (proto-Masonic entity par excellence), but I am not going there in this article. Personally speaking, when I discovered Einbeck’s illustration entitled Wächter des Paradieses (1923) on one hand it made me immediately think of Hugo Höppener (a.k.a. Fidus), on the other of a book by English author Andrew Collins entitled From The Ashes of Angels, a non-fiction book that revolves around the story of an ancient race of tall, Aryan looking giants known as “Watchers” who lusted after mortal women, who subsequently gave birth to a giant offspring referred to as “The Nephilim”.
Artistically speaking, it was fortunate Einbeck put his talents to better use during Hitler’s Germany, as he was able to deliver high quality portraits such as the one of Rudolf Hess featured in the article’s gallery, although I find his early esoteric-related artworks quite remarkable in spite of it all.
Talking about Hitler’s Germany, in a similar case like that of another German artist, who I presented in a previous article known as Anton Hackenbroich, The Library of Congress in Washington DC still owns 10 paintings by Walter Einbeck from the Third Reich period, among them both portraits of Reichsminister Schwarz (from 1939 and 1943 respectively), a portrait of Ludwig Siebert, Rudolf Hess, and Oberburgermeister Reichsleiter Fiehler, also the famous portrait of Adolf Hitler depicted in plain civilian clothes. Of course those paintings were impounded after the war (i.e. stolen) and never returned to their rightful owners, that is the German people.
Biography

renegadetribune--2020-02-13--10 Things You May Think Are Healthy, But Probably Aren’t

Many people are under the impression that using antibacterial soap will prevent them from getting sick .
Yes , these products do kill bacteria and other germs , but they have no effect at all on viruses , which is what causes people to get sick in the first place .
A systematic review published in 2007 in the Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases determined that antibacterial soap containing triclosan did not provide any additional benefit over regular non-antibacterial soap .
( 1 ) This is interesting because the chemical triclosan actually has been shown to have a number of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and endocrine disruption .
So , why are we putting it in the soap in the first place ?
Antiperspirant is something many of us use daily to prevent sweating and thus , smelling .
The problem with this product is that it deliberately stops our bodies doing what they are meant to do to dispel excess toxins .
We do , in fact , sweat for a reason .
Not only that , but antiperspirants contain many harmful chemicals including aluminum , parabens , propylene glycol , and countless others .
Aluminum @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in this way enters your bloodstream with ease .
A study conducted in 2001 showed that aluminum was still present in blood samples 15 days after the original application .
( 2 ) This makes the use of aluminum deodorant a very effective way to deliver aluminum to the brain .
It has been proven time and time again that aluminum is a neurotoxin ( 3 ) and many believe that this is a cause for Alzheimer ’ s disease .
To some , this may sound absolutely ridiculous , but sitting down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time can be extremely detrimental to your health .
Countless studies have shown links between excess sitting and the development of type 2 diabetes , heart disease , colon , breast , and endometrial cancers .
( 4,5,6 ) Many experts recommend that you don ’ t sit for more than 3 hours a day .
( 7 ) If you have an office job , you should consider working at a standing desk , or at least getting up to stand for at least 1 minute for every 20 you are sitting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ throughout the day as well .
A great way to ensure this is to drink plenty of water , since this will encourage you to get up and walk to the bathroom !
I will admit , this is news to me !
But upon researching this , the idea that it may be an unhealthy item makes a lot of sense .
A loofah is used in a hot shower , and heat and moisture is a perfect environment for mould and bacteria to grow .
If this loofah is then used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can easily become infected .
To avoid this problem , choose a loofah made from natural materials , as these have natural enzymes that inhibit microbial growth .
Be sure to fully wring out and dry your loofah in a cool , dark place .
Blenders are awesome tools that many people use daily to whip up a delicious , healthy smoothie .
However , if it is not being cleaned properly , a blender can be a perfect breeding ground for bacteria to grow .
Often , the blender is rinsed out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the blender gasket ( the rubber ring that is located under the blade ) has been found to contain the third most germs of items found in the kitchen .
In fact , research showed that it commonly harboured salmonella , E. coli , yeast , and mould .
( 8 ) A simple solution is to be sure to deep clean your blender , taking it apart after each use to thoroughly wash the blade and gasket .
I don ’ t know about you , but personally I love the feeling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is something just so satisfying about it .
However , our bodies are almost always equipped with the tools to naturally remove toxins .
Naturally , ear wax is only produced on the outer third of your ears , so when you insert the cotton swab into your ear you are just pushing the earwax into your ear canal , which can cause damage to your eardrums as well as hearing loss and infection .

Entering the ear canal could cause injury .
If used to clean ears , stroke swab gently around outer surface of the ear only.
” More often than not , food and beverage manufacturers are dishonest about the products they produce .
Quite frankly , fruit juice is a huge scam within this industry .
Being promoted as a “ healthy start to the day ” and a “ full serving of fruits and vegetables ” is certainly misleading .
The majority of fruit juices that are on the market today @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sugar than the obviously sugar-filled soda pops .
( 10 ) The juices are also pasteurized , which means they have been heated to high temperatures .
This process kills many of the enzymes that are required to properly digest the sugars .
This is not to say that fruit in its entirety is unhealthy for you , however .
Fruit in its natural form comes with the precise fiber and vitamins necessary for the body to manage the sugar it contains .
A great alternative to fruit juice is , honestly , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to have a slow juicer , this is another great option , specifically if there is an option to retain some of the pulp for the fruits that you are juicing .
An increasing amount of evidence has surfaced lately which demonstrates that milk doesn ’ t really do a body good .
Here are some examples : • In a paper published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics , Harvard pediatrician David Ludwig emphasizes that bone fracture rates tend to be lower in countries that do not consume milk @ @ @ @ @ @ @ noting that there are many other viable sources of calcium .
( 11 ) • Another study , published in the American Journal of Public Health , showed that dairy consumption might actually increase the risk of fractures by 50 percent .
( 12 ) • Studies have also shown that calcium isn ’ t as bone protective as we thought .
Multiple studies on calcium supplementation have shown no benefit in reducing bone fracture risk .
In fact , vitamin D appears to be more effective when it comes to reducing bone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Studies have also shown that dairy products might increase a male ’ s risk of developing prostate cancer by 30 -50 percent .
( 14 ) There are many alternatives for milk .
Many people swear by the amazing nutrients and benefits that drinking raw milk can provide to the body .
But milk doesn ’ t just come from cows , you can get milk from coconuts , almonds , rice , cashews , hemp seeds , and a few other places .
These milks are readily available in stores and are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these milks provide even more nutrients than cow ’ s milk .

Generally , when you are using something to clean your environment you aren ’ t thinking about the shrouds of toxic chemicals that are being left behind .

This definitely does not come with a whole heap of controversy .
Yes , water is extremely important to your health , and just staying properly hydrated can ward off many negative health effects .

1. Antibacterial Soap & Hand Sanitizer
Many people are under the impression that using antibacterial soap will prevent them from getting sick. Yes, these products do kill bacteria and other germs, but they have no effect at all on viruses, which is what causes people to get sick in the first place.
A systematic review published in 2007 in the Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases determined that antibacterial soap containing triclosan did not provide any additional benefit over regular non-antibacterial soap.(1) This is interesting because the chemical triclosan actually has been shown to have a number of adverse health effects, including antibiotic resistance and endocrine disruption. So, why are we putting it in the soap in the first place?
2. Antiperspirant
Antiperspirant is something many of us use daily to prevent sweating and thus, smelling. The problem with this product is that it deliberately stops our bodies doing what they are meant to do to dispel excess toxins. We do, in fact, sweat for a reason. Not only that, but antiperspirants contain many harmful chemicals including aluminum, parabens, propylene glycol, and countless others.
Aluminum is directly absorbed by your skin and in this way enters your bloodstream with ease. A study conducted in 2001 showed that aluminum was still present in blood samples 15 days after the original application. (2) This makes the use of aluminum deodorant a very effective way to deliver aluminum to the brain. It has been proven time and time again that aluminum is a neurotoxin (3) and many believe that this is a cause for Alzheimer’s disease.
3. Your Chair
To some, this may sound absolutely ridiculous, but sitting down in a chair for long periods of time can be extremely detrimental to your health. Countless studies have shown links between excess sitting and the development of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, colon, breast, and endometrial cancers. (4,5,6)
Many experts recommend that you don’t sit for more than 3 hours a day. (7) If you have an office job, you should consider working at a standing desk, or at least getting up to stand for at least 1 minute for every 20 you are sitting, and be sure to walk around throughout the day as well. A great way to ensure this is to drink plenty of water, since this will encourage you to get up and walk to the bathroom!
4. Loofah
I will admit, this is news to me! But upon researching this, the idea that it may be an unhealthy item makes a lot of sense. A loofah is used in a hot shower, and heat and moisture is a perfect environment for mould and bacteria to grow. If this loofah is then used over any open nicks or cuts they can easily become infected.
To avoid this problem, choose a loofah made from natural materials, as these have natural enzymes that inhibit microbial growth. Be sure to fully wring out and dry your loofah in a cool, dark place.
5. Blender
Blenders are awesome tools that many people use daily to whip up a delicious, healthy smoothie. However, if it is not being cleaned properly, a blender can be a perfect breeding ground for bacteria to grow. Often, the blender is rinsed out with water and appears clean, but the blender gasket (the rubber ring that is located under the blade) has been found to contain the third most germs of items found in the kitchen. In fact, research showed that it commonly harboured salmonella, E. coli, yeast, and mould. (8)
A simple solution is to be sure to deep clean your blender, taking it apart after each use to thoroughly wash the blade and gasket.
6. Cotton Swabs
I don’t know about you, but personally I love the feeling of cleaning out my ears; there is something just so satisfying about it. However, our bodies are almost always equipped with the tools to naturally remove toxins. Naturally, ear wax is only produced on the outer third of your ears, so when you insert the cotton swab into your ear you are just pushing the earwax into your ear canal, which can cause damage to your eardrums as well as hearing loss and infection. (9)
If you must use a cotton swab, follow the directions on the package: “Do not insert swab into ear canal. Entering the ear canal could cause injury. If used to clean ears, stroke swab gently around outer surface of the ear only.”
7. Processed Fruit Juice
More often than not, food and beverage manufacturers are dishonest about the products they produce. Quite frankly, fruit juice is a huge scam within this industry. Being promoted as a “healthy start to the day” and a “full serving of fruits and vegetables” is certainly misleading. The majority of fruit juices that are on the market today contain just as much and sometimes more sugar than the obviously sugar-filled soda pops. (10) The juices are also pasteurized, which means they have been heated to high temperatures. This process kills many of the enzymes that are required to properly digest the sugars. This is not to say that fruit in its entirety is unhealthy for you, however. Fruit in its natural form comes with the precise fiber and vitamins necessary for the body to manage the sugar it contains.
A great alternative to fruit juice is, honestly, straight up water. If you happen to have a slow juicer, this is another great option, specifically if there is an option to retain some of the pulp for the fruits that you are juicing.
8. Milk
An increasing amount of evidence has surfaced lately which demonstrates that milk doesn’t really do a body good. Here are some examples:
In a paper published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics, Harvard pediatrician David Ludwig emphasizes that bone fracture rates tend to be lower in countries that do not consume milk compared to those that do, also noting that there are many other viable sources of calcium.

There are many alternatives for milk. Many people swear by the amazing nutrients and benefits that drinking raw milk can provide to the body. But milk doesn’t just come from cows, you can get milk from coconuts, almonds, rice, cashews, hemp seeds, and a few other places. These milks are readily available in stores and are very easy to make yourself. Often these milks provide even more nutrients than cow’s milk.
9. Cleaning Products
Everyday household cleaning products are absolutely loaded with chemicals that are, in many cases, quite toxic. Some of the most common chemicals being used in cleaning products that are known to be toxic are: ammonia, methoxychlor, phosphorous, sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, potassium hydroxide, formaldehyde, benzene, and chloroform, to name just a few out of literally thousands. Unfortunately in the United States, often Canada, and many other countries, toxic chemicals are not regulated at all. Generally, when you are using something to clean your environment you aren’t thinking about the shrouds of toxic chemicals that are being left behind.

There are also many completely natural household products that can be very effective in getting the job done. Check out this link for an all-natural, homemade, all-purpose household cleaner.
10. Tap Water (And Some Bottled)
This definitely does not come with a whole heap of controversy. Yes, water is extremely important to your health, and just staying properly hydrated can ward off many negative health effects. However, it is important to ensure your drinking water is clean and safe to consume. Now here comes the controversy… approximately 67% (15) of the drinking water in the United States is fluoridated. The reason many people believe we do this is because the fluoride helps our teeth from decaying, but the “fluoride” that is added to the drinking water is actually not fluoride at all. It is a by-product of aluminum and fertilizer production and is called hydrofluoriscilic acid. This substance is too toxic to be burned or dumped, yet it is considered safe to be added to our drinking water. Seems a little bit fishy, right? There is also a lot of evidence that shows how harmful this substance can be to our health when ingested. It is banned practically all over Europe, and many Canadian cities have opted to have it removed from their municipal water supplies. Click here for many articles about water fluoridation.
Consider trying to raise awareness about this important issue within your community. With a little time and patience, you may just have a hand in getting it removed from your municipality’s water supply. If this is too much of a task to take on, there are many different water filtration systems available today that can effectively take out fluoride.

renegadetribune--2020-02-13--Gruesome Details Emerge of Israel’s Torture of Palestinian Prisoners

New allegations have surfaced claiming that Israel ’ s domestic intelligence agency , Shin Bet or Shabak , is engaged in the brutal torture of Palestinian detainees , despite the practice being against both Israeli and international law .
The new accusations , deemed “ very credible ” by both Israeli and Palestinian rights groups , come amid a recorded spike in the use of torture on Palestinian detainees by Israeli authorities .
The latest cases involve three Palestinian men who were detained as part of the extensive manhunt that followed an August 23 bombing that killed an Israeli settler @ @ @ @ @ @ @ men , living in the occupied West Bank , were detained per Israel ’ s controversial practice of “ administrative detention , ” whereby Israel may detain an individual for months or even years without charging them with a crime .
The lawyers and family members of the three main suspects have asserted that all three men suspected of links to the bombing had been tortured to the point of needing hospitalization , with one of them being admitted for kidney failure and 11 broken ribs before subsequently being returned to the custody @ @ @ @ @ @ @ men had his genitals bitten by a security dog while the third man was wheelchair-bound and unrecognizable to his wife when he appeared in a courtroom .
While these three Palestinian men ’ s experiences are extreme cases , the same Shin Bet investigation also tortured several other detainees in less severe ways but nonetheless left them traumatized .
Those detainees were released after weeks in detention and were never charged .
Shin Bet also arrested family members of detainees and , in some cases , paraded them in front of detainees in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wives and children would also undergo the same harsh treatment .
Though the manhunt and resulting torture of Palestinian suspects took place months ago , reporting on the incidents was delayed due to an Israeli court-mandated gag order that was renewed multiple times since it was first issued last September .
That gag order , in effect for well over three months , also made court proceedings of the three main suspects in the case closed to the public and prevented family members from attending court , with few exceptions .
The alleged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ August 23 bombing occurred during a period when the use of torture of West Bank Palestinians by Shin Bet spiked dramatically , according to the Palestinian prisoner rights organization Adameer , which issued a report last month that contained hard evidence of “ the systematic use of torture and ill-treatment ” against Palestinian detainees at the Al-Mascobiyya interrogation center .
The torture of detainees , though often denied by Israeli officials , is technically illegal .
Yet , a loophole provided in the same 1999 Israeli Supreme Court ruling that made the practice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as the ruling only prohibited torture of detainees unless there was suspicion of an imminent attack .
This loophole has routinely been used by Shin Bet , especially given that Shin Bet officials who engage in the practice have done so for decades with impunity .

New allegations have surfaced claiming that Israel’s domestic intelligence agency, Shin Bet or Shabak, is engaged in the brutal torture of Palestinian detainees, despite the practice being against both Israeli and international law. The new accusations, deemed “very credible” by both Israeli and Palestinian rights groups, come amid a recorded spike in the use of torture on Palestinian detainees by Israeli authorities.
The latest cases involve three Palestinian men who were detained as part of the extensive manhunt that followed an August 23 bombing that killed an Israeli settler and teenager Rina Shnerb. The three men, living in the occupied West Bank, were detained per Israel’s controversial practice of “administrative detention,” whereby Israel may detain an individual for months or even years without charging them with a crime.
The lawyers and family members of the three main suspects have asserted that all three men suspected of links to the bombing had been tortured to the point of needing hospitalization, with one of them being admitted for kidney failure and 11 broken ribs before subsequently being returned to the custody of Israeli interrogators. Another of the men had his genitals bitten by a security dog while the third man was wheelchair-bound and unrecognizable to his wife when he appeared in a courtroom.
While these three Palestinian men’s experiences are extreme cases, the same Shin Bet investigation also tortured several other detainees in less severe ways but nonetheless left them traumatized. Those detainees were released after weeks in detention and were never charged. Shin Bet also arrested family members of detainees and, in some cases, paraded them in front of detainees in order to create the impression that their wives and children would also undergo the same harsh treatment.
Though the manhunt and resulting torture of Palestinian suspects took place months ago, reporting on the incidents was delayed due to an Israeli court-mandated gag order that was renewed multiple times since it was first issued last September. That gag order, in effect for well over three months, also made court proceedings of the three main suspects in the case closed to the public and prevented family members from attending court, with few exceptions.
A spike in torture
The alleged torturing of prisoners in connection to the August 23 bombing occurred during a period when the use of torture of West Bank Palestinians by Shin Bet spiked dramatically, according to the Palestinian prisoner rights organization Adameer, which issued a report last month that contained hard evidence of “the systematic use of torture and ill-treatment” against Palestinian detainees at the Al-Mascobiyya interrogation center.
The torture of detainees, though often denied by Israeli officials, is technically illegal. Yet, a loophole provided in the same 1999 Israeli Supreme Court ruling that made the practice illegal has allowed it to continue, as the ruling only prohibited torture of detainees unless there was suspicion of an imminent attack. This loophole has routinely been used by Shin Bet, especially given that Shin Bet officials who engage in the practice have done so for decades with impunity. Indeed, while over one thousand official complaints against the Shin Bet related to its use of torture have been filed since 2001, only one has ever gone to court — a 2017 case which is still open.
In addition, the use of torture has been supported by a cadre of doctors who work with Shin Bet by approving brutal interrogation tactics, falsifying medical reports and engaging in other activities that provide justifications for the use of extreme and internationally-condemned interrogation methods. Their support would also likely help protect Shin Bet officials in the event that more of these torture cases ever went to court.
One likely reason for the culture of the impunity is the tacit approval of a large portion of the Israeli populace regarding the use of torture on those deemed “enemy combatants.” For instance, one poll of youth between the ages of 20 and 35 conducted in 16 countries last month found that Israeli youths were by far the most supportive of the use of torture, with only 23 percent of Israeli respondents opposing the practice, compared to the international average of 55 percent.
As to why the last few months have seen a spike in reports of the torture of Palestinian prisoners, the answer is not entirely clear. One possible explanation could be related to the U.S.-Israeli push to enact the so-called “Deal of the Century” as well as the current political upheaval in Israeli that has seen the country awaiting its third election in less than a year, as embattled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sought to promote his tough-on-crime and security-focused stances during the prolonged election season.

renegadetribune--2020-02-13--Trump Calls Bloomberg A ‘TOTAL RACIST’ For Saying ‘Minorities’ Commit The Most Crimes

President Trump and his campaign team on Tuesday went all out accusing former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg of being a “ racist ” for talking about minority crime rates .
In a speech given to the Aspen Institute in 2015 defending stop-and-frisk , Bloomberg said : “ Ninety five percent of your murders , and murderers , and murder victims , fit one M.O .
You can just take the description , Xerox it , and pass it up to all the cops .
They are male , minority , sixteen to twenty-one .
That ’ s true @ @ @ @ @ @ @ true in virtually every city in the union .
And that ’ s where the real crime is , you ’ ve got to get the guns out of the hands of the people that are getting killed .
So you got to be wondering , spend the money , put a lot of cops in the street .
Put those cops where the crime is , which means in the minority neighborhoods .
So one affect , one of the unintended consequences is , people say , Oh my God , your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re all minorities .
Yes that ’ s true .
Why , because we put all the cops in the minority neighborhoods , yes that ’ s true .
Why we do it ?
Because that ’ s where all the crime is .
And the way you should get the guns out of the kids hands is to throw them against the wall and , and frisk them .
Then they start , they say I don ’ t want to , I don ’ t want to get caught .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they leave it at home.
” A clip of Bloomberg ’ s speech went viral Tuesday on Twitter and President Trump , Don Jr. and other “ conservatives ” jumped on it to try and damage his presidential candidacy .
“ Omg !
Leaked audio of Mike Bloomberg talking about the high crime rates among urban minorities , ” Don Jr. tweeted .
“ ‘ And the way to get the guns out of the kids hands is to throw them up against the wall and frisk them ’ # BloombergIsARacist.
” “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Politics ] today , ” Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale tweeted .
“ Will they write their boss is a complete racist .
This video is horrible.
” TPUSA ’ s Charlie Kirk also joined in the fray , pushing for Bloomberg to be canceled for saying that under stop-and-frisk “ we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little.
” What ’ s so funny about this is Trump supported stop-and-frisk in 2016 when he ran as the “ law and order ” candidate ( of course , he passed Jared @ @ @ @ @ @ @ criminal justice reform ” after getting in office ) : “ Sadly , the overwhelming amount of violent crime in our major cities is committed by blacks and hispanics-a tough subject-must be discussed , ” Trump tweeted in 2013 .
Now that Trump is president and in a position to actually address the issue he ’ s decided the subject mustn ’ t be discussed and he ’ ll call anyone who does a “ TOTAL RACIST !

President Trump and his campaign team on Tuesday went all out accusing former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg of being a “racist” for talking about minority crime rates.
In a speech given to the Aspen Institute in 2015 defending stop-and-frisk, Bloomberg said:
“Ninety five percent of your murders, and murderers, and murder victims, fit one M.O. You can just take the description, Xerox it, and pass it up to all the cops. They are male, minority, sixteen to twenty-one. That’s true in New York, that’s true in virtually every city in the union. And that’s where the real crime is, you’ve got to get the guns out of the hands of the people that are getting killed. So you got to be wondering, spend the money, put a lot of cops in the street. Put those cops where the crime is, which means in the minority neighborhoods. So one affect, one of the unintended consequences is, people say, Oh my God, your arresting kids for marijuana, they’re all minorities. Yes that’s true. Why, because we put all the cops in the minority neighborhoods, yes that’s true. Why we do it? Because that’s where all the crime is. And the way you should get the guns out of the kids hands is to throw them against the wall and, and frisk them. Then they start, they say I don’t want to, I don’t want to get caught. They may still have a gun, but they leave it at home.”

“WOW, BLOOMBERG IS A TOTAL RACIST!” Trump wrote Tuesday in a now-deleted tweet.
“Omg! Leaked audio of Mike Bloomberg talking about the high crime rates among urban minorities,” Don Jr. tweeted. “‘And the way to get the guns out of the kids hands is to throw them up against the wall and frisk them’ #BloombergIsARacist.”

What’s so funny about this is Trump supported stop-and-frisk in 2016 when he ran as the “law and order” candidate (of course, he passed Jared Kushner and the Koch brothers’ “criminal justice reform” after getting in office):
There’s just one little problem with this… Donald J. Trump in 2016: “I would do stop-and-frisk. I think you have to. We did it in New York, it worked incredibly well and you have to be proactive and, you know, you really help people sort of change their mind automatically,” https://t.co/gVl6iz8vXA — Abby D. Phillip (@abbydphillip) February 11, 2020
“Sadly, the overwhelming amount of violent crime in our major cities is committed by blacks and hispanics-a tough subject-must be discussed,” Trump tweeted in 2013.
Sadly, the overwhelming amount of violent crime in our major cities is committed by blacks and hispanics-a tough subject-must be discussed. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 5, 2013
Now that Trump is president and in a position to actually address the issue he’s decided the subject mustn’t be discussed and he’ll call anyone who does a “TOTAL RACIST!”

AUTHORITY FROM POPULAR SUPPORT, FORCE & TRADITION
Hitler in “Mein Kampf” realized that popular support, the will of the people, needed the backing of force & tradition.
[The following is from Mein Kampf… condensed & re-edited. Read the original book for exact wording as intended by Hitler. “Mein Kampf: The Stalag Edition” is the only complete & officially authorized NSDAP English Translation ever issued.]
“Popular support is the first element which is necessary for the creation of authority. But an authority resting on that foundation alone is still quite frail, uncertain and vacillating. Hence everyone who finds himself vested with an authority that is based only on popular support must take measures to improve & consolidate the foundations of that authority by the creation of force.”
“Accordingly, we must look upon power, that is to say, the capacity to use force, as the second foundation on which all authority is based. This foundation is more stable & secure, but not always stronger, than the first. If popular support & power are united together, and can endure for a certain time, then an authority may arise which is based on a still stronger foundation, namely, the authority of tradition. And, finally, if popular support, power (force) and tradition are united together, then the authority based on them may be looked upon as invincible.”
If popular support, power (force) and tradition are united together, then the authority based on them may be looked upon as invincible.” -Hitler
“Every national body is made up of three main classes. At one extreme we have the best of the people… those who are highly endowed with the civic virtues, and are noted for their courage and their readiness to sacrifice their private interests. At the other extreme are the worst dregs of humanity, in whom vice & egotistic interests prevail. Between these two extremes stands the third class, which is made up of the broad middle stratum, who do not represent radiant heroism or vulgar vice.”
“The stages of a nation’s rise are accomplished exclusively under the leadership of the best extreme. Times of normal and symmetrical development, or of stable conditions, owe their existence, and outwardly visible characteristics, to the preponderating influence of the middle stratum. In this stage, the two extreme classes are balanced against one another; in other words, they are relatively cancelled out. Times of national collapse are determined by the preponderating influence of the worst elements.”
“It must be noted here, however, that the broad masses, which constitute what I have called the middle section, come forward and make their influence felt only when the two extreme sections are engaged in mutual strife. In case one of the extreme sections comes out victorious, the middle section will readily submit to its domination. If the best dominate, the broad masses will follow it. Should the worst extreme turn out triumphant, then the middle section will at least offer no opposition to it; for the masses that constitute the middle class never fight their own battles.”
“A movement which does not fight for… high aims & ideals will never have recourse to extreme means. The appearance of a new & great idea was the secret of success in the French Revolution. The Russian Revolution owes its triumph to an idea. And it was only the idea that enabled Fascism (Italy) triumphantly to subject a whole nation to a process of complete renovation.”
The lack of a great idea which would re-shape things anew has always meant a limitation in fighting power.” -Hitler
“The lack of a great idea which would re-shape things anew has always meant a limitation in fighting power. The conviction of the right to employ even the most brutal weapons is always associated with an ardent faith in the necessity for a new & revolutionary transformation of the world. A movement which does not fight for such high aims & ideals will never have recourse to extreme means.
“I have emphasized that in certain circumstances a movement which is meant to win over the hearts of the people must be ready to defend itself with its own forces against terrorist attempts on the part of its adversaries.”
“The National Socialist movement feels all the more bound not only to prepare the way for the triumph of its idea by appealing to the reason & understanding of the public (popular support), but also to take upon itself the responsibility of organizing its own defense against the terror of the (Communist) International.”
“As an underlying principle in the internal development of the Storm Detachment, we came to the decision that not only should it be perfectly trained in bodily efficiency, but that the men should be so instructed as to make them indomitably convinced champions of the National Socialist ideas, and finally, that they should be schooled to observe the strictest discipline.”
“The Storm Detachment of the German National Socialist Labor Party ought not to be in the nature of a military organization. It had to be an instrument of protection & education for the National Socialist movement, and its duties should be in quite a different sphere from that of the military defense association.”
The work must not be done through secret meetings, but through formidable mass demonstrations in public.” -Hitler
“What we needed then, and need now, is… a hundred thousand devoted champions of our (National Socialist) philosophy. The work must not be done through secret meetings, but through formidable mass demonstrations in public. Dagger & pistol, and poison-vial, cannot clear the way for the progress of the movement. That can be done only by winning over the man in the street. We must overthrow Marxism, so that for the future National Socialism will be master of the street, just as it will one day become master of the State.”
NATIONAL SOCIALISM WILL FIGHT FOR SELF-PRESERVATION
Force rules the world still; has ruled it, shall rule it; Meekness is weakness. Strength is triumphant. Over the whole earth, still is it Thor’s Day!” -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (Saga of King Olaf) Cowards die many times before their deaths. The brave experience death only once. Of all the strange things I’ve ever heard, it seems most strange to me that men fear death, given that death, which can’t be avoided, will come whenever it wants.” -Julius Caesar
National Socialists are not pacifists; they will fight honorably to defend themselves, and if necessary, fight courageously to advance their interests, if they feel threatened by outside forces. At times every people must fight to survive as a nation. If they do not, they will perish.
When a people is not willing or able to fight for its existence, providence, in its eternal justice, has decreed that people’s end. The world is not for cowardly people!” –Hitler
In all events, Nature will always exist, so it’s best to live in accordance with the Laws of Nature, as National Socialism promotes.
Hitler in “Mein Kampf” warned, “The best armament is only dead & worthless material as long as the spirit is wanting, which makes men willing & determined to avail themselves of such weapons.” National Socialism brings for the national will, determination and instinct to preserve itself.
Hitler in “Mein Kampf” had high aspirations for the German state under the banner of National Socialism and knew it would fight to the death in order to preserve its nation, people and German culture.
[The following is from Mein Kampf… condensed & re-edited. Read the original book for exact wording as intended by Hitler. “Mein Kampf: The Stalag Edition” is the only complete & officially authorized NSDAP English Translation ever issued.]
In the “Conclusion” of “Mein Kampf” Hitler wrote…
“If… our (National Socialist) movement remains always conscious of the profound nature of its struggle, and feels that it personifies the values of individual personality & race, and orders its action accordingly. Then, it may count with mathematical certainty on achieving victory some day in the future.”

„The Blitz“
Sirs:
Rarely have I come across a television broadcast more vicious in intent and more warped in execution than your recent „Blitz on Britain.“ As a survivor of the mass air raid executed against my native city of Prague, Bohemia, on the Christian Holy Day of Palm Sunday, 1945, by the Anglo-American strategic bomber force – a raid that maimed or murdered thousands a few seconds before the conclusion of the Second World War – I say this:
There can be no comparison between the brutality of the Anglo-American bomber offensive, on one hand, and the minimality of the German-Italian efforts, on the other.
As the commander of the British strategic air offensive, Air Marshal Sir Arthur Harris shows in his Bomber Offensive (Macmillan, New York, 1947) 23 German cities had more than 60 percent of their built-up area destroyed; 46 had half of it destroyed. 31 communities had more than 500 acres obliterated: Berlin, 6427 acres: Hamburg, 6200 acres; Duesseldorf, 2003; Cologne (through air attack), 1994. By contrast, the three favorite targets of the Luftwaffe: London, Plymouth and Coventry, had 600 acres, 400, and just over 100 acres destroyed.
Anglo-American strategic bombers, according to official sources of the West German government in 1962, dropped 2,690,000 metric tons of bombs on Continental Europe; 1,350,000 tons were dropped on Germany within its 1937 boundaries; 180,000 tons on Austria and the Balkans; 590,000 tons on France; 370,000 tons on Italy; and 200,000 tons on miscellaneous targets such as Bohemia, Slovakia and Poland. By contrast, Germany dropped a total of 74,172 tons of bombs as well as V-1 and V-2 rockets and „buzz bombs“ on Britain – five percent of what the Anglo-Saxons rained down on Germany.
The Federal German Government has established the minimum count – not an estimate – of 635,000 German civilians were killed in France, Italy, Rumania, Hungary, Czecheslovakia, and elsewhere.
Both Germany and Britain initiated air raids on naval and military targets as of 3 September 1939. However, when the British attacks on port installations in Northern Germany ended in disaster, with a devastating majority of bombers downed – the Battle of the German Bight – Britain switched over to less costly night air raids on civilian targets such as Berlin and the Ruhr industrial region. By contrast, Germany replied in kind only in the winter months of 1940/41, a year later.
Observers indubitably British, such as the late Labour Minister Crossman, the scientist and writer C.P. Snow, and the Earl of Birkenhead, have demonstrated that it was not Germany but Britain that, after May, 1940, unleashed an official policy of unrestricted and unlimited raids on civilian populations under its new Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, and his science advisor, Dr. Lindemann. Professor Lindemann, the later Viscount Cherwell, coolly calculated that, by using a force of 10,000 heavy bombers to attack and destroy the 58 largest German cities, one-third of the population of Germany would be „de-housed.“ The assumption, of course, also was that out of those 25-27 million homeless at least ten percent – 2.5 to 3 million people – would be killed. On this score alone, Winston Churchill and his advisors deserve to rank among the maddest mass murderers in history. In fact, as West German records show, 131 German towns were hit by heavy strategic raids. Only the courage of the Luftwaffe pilots, the effectiveness of the air defense network and the strength of the fire fighting organization worked together to prevent a bloodbath to the extent envisioned by the Prime Minister.
Blood baths did occur when conditions were right.
When the Anglo-American bombing policy reached its first grand climax in a raid on Hamburg that stretched over several days and nights in July, 1943, a minimum of 40,000 to 50,000 civilians burned to death.
With the defensive power of the Reich worn down in the second half of 1944 and in 1945, the Anglo-Saxons indulged in ever more massive extermination raids against Europe. Communities of little or no military value, even if attacked previously, were now pulverized, preferably under conditions of the utmost horror. Christian holy days, and dates and sites of famous art festivals were select occasions for raids. Many of the most beautiful cities of Europe and the world were systematically pounded into nothingness, often during the last weeks of the war, among them: Wuerzburg, Hildesheim, Darmstadt, Kassel, Nuremberg, Braunschweig. Little Pforzheim in south-west Germany had 17,000 people killed. Dresden, one of the great art centers and in 1945 a refuge for perhaps a million civilians, was decimated with the loss of at least 100,000 souls. Europe from Monte Cassino to Luebeck and Rostock on the Baltic, from Caen and Lisieux in France to Pilsen, Prague, Bruenn, Budapest and Bucharest reeled under the barbaric blows of the bombers.
Nor did the extermination raids stop with Europe.
Cigar-chomping General Curtis LeMay demonstrated in the Far East that record kills could be achieved without resort to atomic weapons. By applying the lessons learned in Europe to the wooden architecture of the Asian mainland and Japan he raised „fire storms“ which surpassed even those of Hamburg, Pforzheim and Dresden-Mass raids by superheavy B-29 bombers against Osaka, Nagoya, Kobe and particularly, Tokyo-Yokohama, resulted in a minimum harvest of 125,000 to 150,000 kills per raid. More than 1.2 million Japanese civilians were killed through bombing. Millions of others fell victim to it, from Mukden, Manchuria, to Rangoon, Burma.
It goes without saying that LeMay and his colleagues could not have carried out their campaigns of mass annihilation without the backing of the highest political leaders in the land. In fact, the United States Government had placed orders for the immediate development of four-engined, superheavy, very-long-range bombers (the XB 15, the B-17, the XB 19, the B-24 and the B-29) starting in 1934.
Thus, the Roosevelt Administration had begun to lay plans for offensive, strategic, global war back in 1933, the year of its inception. With the later exception of Britain, none of the other „large“ powers followed suit: neither France, Italy and Germany, nor Soviet Russia and Japan the latter with extensive holdings in the Pacific.
These are sobering facts. PBS, with its record of fine programming, has much to lose if it insists on presenting biassed reports such as „Blitz on Britain“ or „UXB.“ If you care to tap the unplumbed depths of sentimentality, envy and hatred, start a comic strip. In the meantime, we’ll change channels.
Give poor Alistair Cooke, who has been mightily discomfited of late, a much-needed respite.
Sincerely,
Dr. A. R. Wesserle

From The Origins of Popular Superstitions and Customs [1910]
Although St. Valentine’s Day is only observed in a very few places in the United Kingdom, and tends towards a speedy disappearance, it is a custom which, for this reason, is specially worth notice, inasmuch as some of us who are by no means old can remember the days when the sending of “Valentines” by a certain section of society was quite a festival in itself–almost as vigorous as the fashion of ‘Xmas cards is at the moment. St. Valentine was a Christian Bishop, who is alleged to have suffered martyrdom in 271 A.D., on February 14th. Roman youths and maidens on this day were accustomed to select partners, and the Church, fulfilling its work of replacing heathen divinities by ecclesiastical saints, allotted the day to St. Valentine. Butler in his Lives of the Saints says:–“To abolish the heathen, lewd, superstitious custom of boys drawing the names of girls, in honour of their goddess Februata Juno, on the 15th of February, several zealous Pastors substituted the names of Saints in billets given on that day. St. Frances de Sales severely forbad the custom of Valentines, or giving boys in writing the names of girls to be admired and attended on by them; and to abolish it, he changed it into giving billets with the names of certain Saints, for them to honour and imitate in a particular manner.”
Apparently the effort was not altogether successful, for the specimen Valentine verses that have come down to us from old English times, as well as some of the pictures which used to be flaunted in shop-windows in the last century, testify to the intimate connection between the Pagan idea and its attempted Christian reconstruction. St. Valentine, as a good man, can have no reason to thank the Church for its attentions to his name.
Gay has left us a poetical description of some rural ceremonies used on the morning of this day:
“Last Valentine, the day when birds of kind,
Their paramours with mutual chirpings find,
I early rose, just at the break of day,
Before the sun had chas’d the stars away;
A-field I went, amid the morning dew,
To milk my kine (for so should house-wives do).
Thee first I spied, and the first swain we see,
In spite of Fortune, shall our true love be.”
Evidently the women-folk used to take Valentine’s Day somewhat seriously. Witness the following from an old book–the Connoisseur:–“Last Friday was Valentine Day, and the night before I got five bayleaves, and pinned four-of them to the four corners of my pillow, and the fifth to the middle; and then, if I dreamt of my sweetheart, Betty said we should be married before the year was out. But to make it more sure I boiled an egg hard, and took out the yolk and filled it with salt; and when I went to bed ate it, shell and all, without speaking or drinking after it. We also wrote our lovers’ names upon bits of paper, and rolled them up in clay, and put them into water: and the first that rose up was to be our Valentine. Would you think it, Mr Blossom was my man. I lay a-bed and shut my eyes all the morning till he came to our house; for I would not have seen another man before him for all the world.”
The dying of St. Valentine’s Day is a testimony to the growth of a sense of restraint and fine feeling. But even this year (1910) in London one can see the old vulgar Valentine shown in shop windows.
