“ … the inescapable conclusion is that in per capita terms Jews were the greatest mass-murderers of the twentieth century , holding that unfortunate distinction by an enormous margin and with no other nationality coming even remotely close .

Think about it .
Which is your true friend , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or the one who controls the explanations you receive in order to advance his own agenda ?
I again state my admiration of Ron Unz .
He is Jewish .
He is highly intelligent .
He is a Harvard graduate .
He is an entrepreneur who made himself a multi-millionaire .
He could have held his fire and risen to the top of the establishment .
Instead , he chose to tell us the truth .
Ron Unz is the person who should be President .
Unlike Trump , Unz would know how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ truth and morality back in charge of our future .
Here is Ron Unz weighing for us the historical evidence on who was the worst war criminal .
The emphasis is added : For most present-day Americans , the primary image associated with Hitler and his German regime is the horrendous scale of the war-crimes that they supposedly committed during the global conflict that they are alleged to have unleashed .
But in one of his lectures , Irving made the rather telling observation that the relative scale of such World War II @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not necessarily point in the direction of implicating the Germans .
Although Hollywood and those in its thrall have endlessly cited the findings of the Nuremberg Tribunals as the final word on Nazi barbarism , even a cursory examination of those proceedings raises enormous skepticism .
As time passed , historians gradually acknowledged that some of the most shocking and lurid pieces of evidence used to secure worldwide condemnation of the defendants—the human lampshades and bars of soap , the shrunken heads—were entirely fraudulent .
The Soviets were determined to prosecute the Nazis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ captured Polish officer corps even though the Western Allies were convinced that Stalin had actually been responsible , a belief eventually confirmed by Gorbachev and the newly-opened Soviet archives .
If the Germans had actually done so many horrible things , one wonders why the prosecution would have bothered including such fabricated and false charges .
And over the decades , considerable evidence has accumulated that the Gas Chambers and the Jewish Holocaust—the central elements of today ’ s Nazi “ Black Legend ” —were just as fictional as all those other items @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , embracing orderly bureaucracy like no other people , and nearly all their archives were captured at the end of the war .
Under these circumstances , it seems rather odd that there are virtually no traces of the plans or directives associated with the monstrous crimes that their leadership supposedly ordered committed in such massively industrial fashion .
Instead , the entirety of the evidence seems to consist of a tiny quantity of rather doubtful documentary material , the dubious interpretations of certain phrases , and various German confessions , often obtained @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wartime role in Military Intelligence , John Beaty [ The Iron Curtain Over America ] was particularly harsh in his denunciation of the proceedings , and the numerous top American generals who endorsed his book add considerably to the weight of his verdict : By contrast , Irving notes that if the Allies had instead been in the dock at Nuremberg , the evidence of their guilt would have been absolutely overwhelming .
After all , it was Churchill who began the illegal terror-bombing of cities , a strategy deliberately intended to provoke @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the death of a million or more European civilians .
Late in the war , military reversals had even persuaded the British leader to order similarly illegal poison gas attacks against German cities , along with the initiation of even more horrific biological warfare involving anthrax bombs .
Irving located these signed directives in the British archives , although Churchill was later persuaded to countermand them before they were carried out .
By contrast , German archival material demonstrates that Hitler had repeatedly ruled out any first use of such illegal weapons under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s far deadlier arsenal might have turned the tide of the war in its favor .
Although long forgotten today , Freda Utley was a mid-century journalist of some prominence .
Born an Englishwoman , she had married a Jewish Communist and moved to Soviet Russia , then fled to America after her husband fell in one of Stalin ’ s purges .
Although hardly sympathetic to the defeated Nazis , she strongly shared Beaty ’ s view of the monstrous perversion of justice at Nuremberg and her first-hand account of the months @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its description of the horrific suffering imposed upon the prostrate population even years after the end of the war .
Moreover : The population movement certainly seems to have represented the largest ethnic-cleansing in the history of the world , and if the Germany had ever done anything even remotely similar during its years of European victories and conquests , the visually-gripping scenes of such an enormous flood of desperate , trudging refugees would surely have become a centerpiece of numerous World War II movies of the last seventy years .
But since @ @ @ @ @ @ @ screenwriters lost a tremendous opportunity .
I think perhaps the most plausible explanation for the widespread promotion of a multitude of largely fictional German war-crimes at Nuremberg was to the camouflage and obscure the very real ones actually committed by the Allies .
Other related indicators may be found in the extreme tone of some of the American publications of the period , even those produced well before our country even entered the war .
For example : Surely any such similar book published in Hitler ’ s Germany that advocated the extermination @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been a centerpiece at Nuremberg , and any newspaper reviewers who had treated it favorably would probably have stood in the dock for “ crimes against humanity.
” Meanwhile , the terrible nature of the Pacific War fought in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor is suggested by a 1944 issue of Life magazine that carried the photo of a young American woman with the skull of a Japanese soldier her boyfriend had sent her as a war souvenir .
If any Nazi magazines ever featured similar images , I doubt the Allies would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stories of human lampshades or soap .
And remarkably enough , that grotesque scene actually provides a reasonably accurate indication of the savage atrocities that were regularly committed during the brutal fighting of the Pacific Theater .
These unpleasant facts were fully set forth in War Without Mercy , an award-winning 1986 volume by eminent American historian John W. Dower that received glowing accolades by leading scholars and public intellectuals .
The unfortunate truth is that Americans typically massacred Japanese who sought to surrender or who had even already been taken as prisoners @ @ @ @ @ @ @ small slice—during some years merely a tiny sliver—of Japanese troops defeated in battle ever survived .
The traditional excuse publicly offered for the virtual absence of any Japanese POWs was that their Bushido code made surrender unthinkable , yet when the Soviets defeated Japanese armies in 1945 , they had no difficulty capturing over a million prisoners .
Indeed , since interrogating prisoners was important for intelligence purposes , late in the war U.S. commanders began offering rewards such as ice cream to their troops for bringing some surrendering Japanese in alive rather @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American GIs also regularly committed remarkably savage atrocities .
Dead or wounded Japanese frequently had their gold teeth knocked out and taken as war-booty , and their ears were often cut-off and kept as souvenirs , as was also sometimes the case with their skulls .
Meanwhile , Dower notes the absence of any evidence suggesting similar behavior on the other side .
The American media generally portrayed the Japanese as vermin fit for eradication , and numerous public statements by high-ranking American military leaders explicitly claimed that the bulk of the entire @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exterminated in order to bring the war to a successful conclusion .
Comparing such thoroughly-documented facts with the rather tenuous accusations usually leveled against Nazi political or military leaders is quite revealing .
During the late 1980s evidence of other deep wartime secrets suddenly came to light .
While visiting France during 1986 in preparation for an unrelated book , a Canadian writer named James Bacque stumbled upon clues suggesting that one of the most terrible secrets of post-war Germany had long remained completely hidden , and he soon embarked upon extensive research @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Losses in 1989 .
Based upon very considerable evidence , including government records , personal interviews , and recorded eyewitness testimony , he argued that after the end of the war , the Americans had starved to death as many as a million German POWs , seemingly as a deliberate act of policy , a war crime that would surely rank among the greatest in history .
For decades , Western propagandists had relentlessly barraged the Soviets with claims that they were keeping back a million or more “ missing ” German POWs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Soviets had endlessly denied these accusations .
According to Bacque , the Soviets had been telling the truth all along , and the missing soldiers had been among the enormous numbers who had fled westward near the end of the war , seeking what they assumed would be far better treatment at the hands of the advancing Anglo-American armies .
But instead , they were denied all normal legal protections , and confined under horrible conditions where they rapidly perished of hunger , illness , and exposure .
Without attempting to summarize @ @ @ @ @ @ @ material , a few of his factual elements are worth mentioning .
At the close of hostilities , the American government employed circuitous legal reasoning to argue that the many millions of German troops that they had captured should not be considered “ prisoners of war ” and therefore were not covered by the provisions of the Geneva Convention .
Soon afterward , attempts by the International Red Cross to provide food shipments to the enormous Allied prison camps were repeatedly rejected , and notices were posted throughout the nearby German towns and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ smuggle food to the desperate POWs might be shot on sight .
These undeniable historical facts do seem to suggest certain dark possibilities .
Although initially released by an obscure publisher , Bacque ’ s book soon became a sensation and an international best-seller .
He paints Gen. Dwight Eisenhower as the central culprit behind the tragedy , noting the far lower POW losses in areas outside his control , and suggests that as a highly ambitious “ political general ” of German-American ancestry , he may have been under intense pressure to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ defeated Wehrmacht foe .
Furthermore , once the Cold War ended and the Soviet Archives were open to scholars , their contents seem to have strongly validated Bacque ’ s thesis .
He notes that although the archives do contain explicit evidence of such long-denied atrocities as Stalin ’ s Katyn Forest massacre of Poland ’ s officer corps , they show absolutely no signs of any million missing German POWs , who instead had very likely ended their lives in the starvation and illness of Eisenhower ’ s death camps .
Bacque @ @ @ @ @ @ @ issued severe legal threats against anyone seeking to investigate the likely sites of the mass graves that might hold the remains of those long-dead POWs , and in an updated edition , he also mentions Germany ’ s enactment of harsh new laws meting out heavy prison sentences to anyone who merely questions the official narrative of World War II .
Bacque ’ s discussion of the new evidence of the Kremlin archives constitutes a relatively small portion of his 1997 sequel , Crimes and Mercies , which centered around an even more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ international best-seller .
As described above , first-hand observers of post-war Germany in 1947 and 1948 such as Gollanz and Utley , had directly reported on the horrific conditions they discovered , and stated that for years official food rations for the entire population had been comparable to that of the inmates of Nazi concentration camps and sometimes far lower , leading to the widespread malnutrition and illness they witnessed all around them .
They also noted the destruction of most of Germany ’ s pre-war housing stock and the severe overcrowding produced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of pitiful ethnic German refugees expelled from other parts of Central and Eastern Europe .
But these visitors lacked any access to solid population statistics , and could only speculate upon the enormous human death toll that hunger and illness had already inflicted , and which would surely continue if policies were not quickly changed .
Years of archival research by Bacque attempt to answer this question , and the conclusion he provides is certainly not a pleasant one .
Both the Allied military government and the later German civilian authorities seem to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or obscure the true scale of the calamity visited upon German civilians during the years 1945-1950 , and the official mortality statistics found in government reports are simply too fantastical to possibly be correct , although they became the basis for the subsequent histories of that period .
Bacque notes that these figures suggest that the death rate during the terrible conditions of 1947 , long remembered as the “ Hunger Year ” ( Hungerjahr ) and vividly described in Gollancz ’ s account , was actually lower than that of the prosperous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , private reports by American officials , mortality rates from individual localities , and other strong evidence demonstrate that these long-accepted aggregate numbers were essentially fictional .
Instead , Bacque attempts to provide more realistic estimates based upon an examination of the population totals of the various German censuses together with the recorded influx of the huge number of German refugees .
Based upon this simple analysis , he makes a reasonably strong case that the excess German deaths during that period amounted to at least around 10 million , and possibly many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ substantial evidence that the starvation was either deliberate or at least enormously worsened by American government resistance to overseas food relief efforts .
Perhaps these numbers should not be so totally surprising given that the official Morgenthau Plan had envisioned the elimination of around 20 million Germans , and as Bacque demonstrates , top American leaders quietly agreed to continue that policy in practice even while they renounced it in theory .
Assuming these numbers are even remotely correct , the implications are quite remarkable .
The toll of the human catastrophe experienced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the greatest in modern peacetime history , far exceeding the deaths that occurred during the Ukrainian Famine of the early 1930s and possibly even approaching the wholly unintentional losses during Mao ’ s Great Leap Forward of 1959-61 .
Furthermore , the post-war German losses would vastly outrank either of these other unfortunate events in percentage terms and this would remain true even if the Bacque ’ s estimates are considerably reduced .
Yet I doubt if even a small fraction of one percent of Americans are today aware of this enormous human @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Germany itself , but given the growing legal crackdown on discordant views in that unfortunate country , I suspect that anyone who discusses the topic too energetically risks immediate imprisonment .
To a considerable extent , this historical ignorance has been heavily fostered by our governments , often using underhanded or even nefarious means .
Just like in the old decaying USSR , much of the current political legitimacy of today ’ s American government and its various European vassal-states is founded upon a particular narrative history of World War II , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ political consequences .
Bacque credibly relates some of the apparent efforts to dissuade any major newspaper or magazine from running articles discussing the startling findings of his first book , thereby imposing a “ blackout ” aimed at absolutely minimizing any media coverage .
Such measures seem to have been quite effective , since until eight or nine years ago , I ’ m not sure I had ever heard a word of these shocking ideas , and I have certainly never seen them seriously discussed in any of the numerous newspapers or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the last three decades .
Even illegal means were employed to hinder the efforts of this solitary , determined scholar .
At times , Bacque ’ s phone-lines were tapped , his mail intercepted , and his research materials surreptitiously copied , while his access to some official archives was blocked .
Some of the elderly eyewitnesses who personally corroborated his analysis received threatening notes and had their property vandalized .
In his Foreword to this 1997 book , De Zayas , the eminent international human rights attorney , praised Bacque ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would soon lead to a major scholarly debate aimed at reassessing the true facts of these historical events that had taken place a half-century earlier .
But in his update to the 2007 edition , he expressed some outrage that no such discussion ever occurred , and instead the German government merely passed a series of harsh laws mandating prison sentences for anyone who substantially disputed the settled narrative of World War II and its immediate aftermath , perhaps by overly focusing on the suffering of German civilians .
Although both of Bacque @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the near-complete absence of any secondary media coverage ensured that they never entered public awareness with anything more than a pinprick .
Another important factor is the tremendously disproportionate reach of print and electronic media .
A best-seller may be read by many tens of thousands of people , but a successful film might reach tens of millions , and so long as Hollywood churns out endless movies denouncing Germany ’ s atrocities but not a single one on the other side , the true facts of that history are hardly likely to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that far more people today believe in the real-life existence of Batman and Spiderman than are even aware of the Bacque Hypothesis .
Many of the elements presented above were drawn from my previous articles published over the last year or so , but I believe there is some value in providing this same material in unified form rather than only separately , even if the total length necessarily becomes quite considerable .
World War II dominates our twentieth century landscape like a colossus , and still casts huge shadows across our modern @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been the subject of far more sustained coverage , whether in print or electronic media , than any other event in human history .
So if we encounter a small handful of highly anomalous items that seem to directly contradict such an ocean of enormously detailed and long-accepted information , there is a natural tendency to dismiss these few outliers as implausible or even delusional .
But once the total number of such discordant seemingly yet well-documented elements becomes sufficiently large , we must take them more seriously , and perhaps eventually concede @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
As was suggested in a quote widely if doubtfully attributed to Stalin , “ Quantity has a quality all of its own.
” I am hardly the first individual to gradually become aware of this sweeping and cohesive counter-narrative of the Second World War , and a few months ago I happened to read Germany ’ s War , published in 2014 by amateur historian John Wear .
Drawing from sources that substantially overlap with the ones I have discussed , his conclusions are reasonably similar to my own , but presented @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some 1,200 exact source references .
So those interested in a much more detailed exposition of these same issues can read it and decide for themselves .
When intellectual freedom is under attack , challenging an officially enshrined mythology may become legally perilous .
I have seen claims that thousands of individuals who hold heterodox opinions about various aspects of the history of World War II are today imprisoned across Europe on the basis of those beliefs .
If so , that total is probably far higher than the number of ideological dissidents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the decaying Soviet Bloc countries of the 1980s .
World War II ended nearly three generations ago , and few of its adult survivors still walk the earth .
From one perspective the true facts of that conflict and whether or not they actually contradict our traditional beliefs might appear rather irrelevant .
Tearing down the statues of some long-dead historical figures and replacing them with the statues of others hardly seems of much practical value .
But if we gradually conclude that the story that all of us have been told during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perhaps largely inverted , the implications for our understanding of the world are enormous .
Most of the surprising material presented here is hardly hidden or kept under lock-and-key .
Nearly all the books are easily available at Amazon or even freely readable on the Internet , many of the authors have received critical and scholarly acclaim , and in some cases their works have sold in the millions .
Yet this important material has been almost entirely ignored or dismissed by the popular media that shapes the common beliefs of our society @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wonder what other massive falsehoods may have been similarly promoted by that media , perhaps involving incidents of the recent past or even the present day .
And those latter events do have enormous practical significance .
As I pointed out several years ago in my original American Pravda article : Even if the overwhelming majority of the unorthodox claims provided by such non-traditional web-based sources is incorrect , at least there now exists the possibility of extracting vital nuggets of truth from vast mountains of falsehood .
We must also recognize that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our present-day world were founded upon a particular understanding of that wartime history , and if there seems good reason to believe that narrative is substantially false , perhaps we should begin questioning the framework of beliefs erected upon it .
George Orwell fought in the Spanish Civil War during the 1930s and discovered that the true facts in Spain were radically different from what he had been led to believe by the British media of his day .
In 1948 these past experiences together with the rapidly congealing “ official history ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been uppermost in his mind when he published his classic novel 1984 , which famously declared that “ Who controls the past controls the future ; who controls the present controls the past.
” Indeed , as I noted last year this observation has never been more true than when we consider some of the historical assumptions that govern the politics of today ’ s world , and the likelihood that they are entirely misleading : Back in those late Cold War days , the death toll of innocent civilians from the Bolshevik @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Soviet Regime was generally reckoned at running well into the tens of millions when we include the casualties of the Russian Civil War , the government-induced famines , the Gulag , and the executions .
I ’ ve heard that these numbers have been substantially revised downwards to perhaps as little as twenty million or so , but no matter .
Although determined Soviet apologists may dispute such very large figures , they have always been part of the standard narrative history taught within the West .
Meanwhile , all historians know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ overwhelmingly Jewish , with three of the five revolutionaries Lenin named as his plausible successors coming from that background .
Although only around 4 % of Russia ’ s population was Jewish , a few years ago Vladimir Putin stated that Jews constituted perhaps 80-85 % of the early Soviet government , an estimate fully consistent with the contemporaneous claims of Winston Churchill , Times of London correspondent Robert Wilton , and the officers of American Military Intelligence .
Recent books by Alexander Solzhenitsyn , Yuri Slezkine , and others have all painted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to World War II , Jews remained enormously over-represented in the Communist leadership , especially dominating the Gulag administration and the top ranks of the dreaded NKVD .
Both of these simple facts have been widely accepted in America throughout my entire lifetime .
But combine them together with the relatively tiny size of worldwide Jewry , around 16 million prior to World War II , and the inescapable conclusion is that in per capita terms Jews were the greatest mass-murderers of the twentieth century , holding that unfortunate distinction by an enormous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even remotely close .
And yet , by the astonishing alchemy of Hollywood , the greatest killers of the last one hundred years have somehow been transmuted into being seen as the greatest victims , a transformation so seemingly implausible that future generations will surely be left gasping in awe .
Today ’ s American Neocons are just as heavily Jewish as were the Bolsheviks of a hundred years ago , and they have greatly benefited from the political immunity provided by this totally bizarre inversion of historical reality .
Partly as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they have managed to seize control over much of our political system , especially our foreign policy , and have spent the last few years doing their utmost to foment an absolutely insane war with nuclear-armed Russia .
If they do manage to achieve that unfortunate goal , they will surely outdo the very impressive human body-count racked up by their ethnic ancestors , perhaps even by an order-of-magnitude or more .

– Ron Unz in “Understanding World War II”
This article serves to introduce readers to the third and final Installment of Ron Unz’s “Understanding World War II” series.
When we want to demonize someone the worst epithet we can think of is to call him a Nazi or compare the person to Hitler, as Hillary Clinton did when she declared Russia’s President Putin “the new Hitler.” This ingrained habit comes from the influence of the massive anti-German World War II propaganda. Revisionist historians who have actually dug up the buried evidence and examined it have made a case that whatever the Nazi crimes, they were rivaled, if not exceeded, by those of Churchill and the Americans.
Dresden before and after the fire bombing of this civilian city, devoid of any military value, except for terrorizing civilians
Unz, a prolific reader with a knack for tying things together reviews some of the true history in what follows. To condition yourself for the coming shock, keep in mind that the same Hitler that is said to have hated Jews and systematically gassed and burnt them, had 150,000 half-and quarter-Jews serving in his armies, “mostly as combat officers, and these included at least 15 half-Jewish generals and admirals, with another dozen quarter Jews holding those same high ranks.
The most notable example was Field Marshal Erhard Milch, Hermann Goering’s powerful second-in-command, who played such an important operational role in creating the Luftwaffe. Milch certainly had a Jewish father, and according to some much less substantiated claims, perhaps even a Jewish mother as well, while his sister was married to an SS general.”
When truth-tellers rattle our cages, we get upset over having our comfortable make-believe world disturbed and shout invectives. Rather than condemn the messanger, the more mature response would be to condemn those who lied to us and institutionalized false history into our consciousness. Keep in mind that the few who tell you the truth pay a high price for doing so; therefore, you should refrain from adding your invective to the copious amount heaped on them by the Establishment.
Think about it. Which is your true friend, the one who tells you the truth, or the one who controls the explanations you receive in order to advance his own agenda?
I again state my admiration of Ron Unz. He is Jewish. He is highly intelligent. He is a Harvard graduate. He is an entrepreneur who made himself a multi-millionaire. He could have held his fire and risen to the top of the establishment. Instead, he chose to tell us the truth. Ron Unz is the person who should be President. Unlike Trump, Unz would know how to staff a government that would put truth and morality back in charge of our future.
Here is Ron Unz weighing for us the historical evidence on who was the worst war criminal. The emphasis is added:
(The remainder of this article is a reprint of approximately the last quarter of Unz’s massive 20,000 word article referenced above.)
For most present-day Americans, the primary image associated with Hitler and his German regime is the horrendous scale of the war-crimes that they supposedly committed during the global conflict that they are alleged to have unleashed. But in one of his lectures, Irving made the rather telling observation that the relative scale of such World War II crimes and especially their evidentiary base might not necessarily point in the direction of implicating the Germans.
Although Hollywood and those in its thrall have endlessly cited the findings of the Nuremberg Tribunals as the final word on Nazi barbarism, even a cursory examination of those proceedings raises enormous skepticism.
As time passed, historians gradually acknowledged that some of the most shocking and lurid pieces of evidence used to secure worldwide condemnation of the defendants—the human lampshades and bars of soap, the shrunken heads—were entirely fraudulent.
The Soviets were determined to prosecute the Nazis for the Katyn Forest massacre of the captured Polish officer corps even though the Western Allies were convinced that Stalin had actually been responsible, a belief eventually confirmed by Gorbachev and the newly-opened Soviet archives. If the Germans had actually done so many horrible things, one wonders why the prosecution would have bothered including such fabricated and false charges.
And over the decades, considerable evidence has accumulated that the Gas Chambers and the Jewish Holocaust—the central elements of today’s Nazi “Black Legend”—were just as fictional as all those other items.
The Germans were notoriously meticulous record-keepers, embracing orderly bureaucracy like no other people, and nearly all their archives were captured at the end of the war. Under these circumstances, it seems rather odd that there are virtually no traces of the plans or directives associated with the monstrous crimes that their leadership supposedly ordered committed in such massively industrial fashion. Instead, the entirety of the evidence seems to consist of a tiny quantity of rather doubtful documentary material, the dubious interpretations of certain phrases, and various German confessions, often obtained under brutal torture.
Given his crucial wartime role in Military Intelligence, John Beaty [The Iron Curtain Over America] was particularly harsh in his denunciation of the proceedings, and the numerous top American generals who endorsed his book add considerably to the weight of his verdict:
He was scathing toward the Nuremberg Trials, which he described as a “major indelible blot” upon America and “a travesty of justice.” According to him, the proceedings were dominated by vengeful German Jews, many of whom engaged in falsification of testimony or even had criminal backgrounds. As a result, this “foul fiasco” merely taught Germans that “our government had no sense of justice.” Sen. Robert Taft, the Republican leader of the immediate postwar era took a very similar position, which later won him the praise of John F. Kennedy in Profiles in Courage. The fact that the chief Soviet prosecutor at Nuremberg had played the same role during the notorious Stalinist show trials of the late 1930s, during which numerous Old Bolsheviks confessed to all sorts of absurd and ridiculous things, hardly enhanced the credibility of the proceedings to many outside observers.
By contrast, Irving notes that if the Allies had instead been in the dock at Nuremberg, the evidence of their guilt would have been absolutely overwhelming. After all, it was Churchill who began the illegal terror-bombing of cities, a strategy deliberately intended to provoke German retaliation and which eventually led to the death of a million or more European civilians.
Late in the war, military reversals had even persuaded the British leader to order similarly illegal poison gas attacks against German cities, along with the initiation of even more horrific biological warfare involving anthrax bombs. Irving located these signed directives in the British archives, although Churchill was later persuaded to countermand them before they were carried out. By contrast, German archival material demonstrates that Hitler had repeatedly ruled out any first use of such illegal weapons under any circumstances, even though Germany’s far deadlier arsenal might have turned the tide of the war in its favor.
Although long forgotten today, Freda Utley was a mid-century journalist of some prominence. Born an Englishwoman, she had married a Jewish Communist and moved to Soviet Russia, then fled to America after her husband fell in one of Stalin’s purges.
Although hardly sympathetic to the defeated Nazis, she strongly shared Beaty’s view of the monstrous perversion of justice at Nuremberg and her first-hand account of the months spent in Occupied Germany is eye-opening in its description of the horrific suffering imposed upon the prostrate population even years after the end of the war. Moreover:
Her book also gives substantial coverage to the organized expulsions of ethnic Germans from Silesia, the Sudatenland, East Prussia, and various other parts of Central and Eastern Europe where they had peacefully lived for many centuries, with the total number of such expellees generally estimated at 13 to 15 million. Families were sometimes given as little as ten minutes to leave the homes in which they had resided for a century or more, then forced to march off on foot, sometimes for hundreds of miles, towards a distant land they had never seen, with their only possessions being what they could carry in their own hands. In some cases, any surviving menfolk were separated out and shipped off to slave-labor camps, thereby producing an exodus consisting solely of women, children, and the very elderly. All estimates were that at least a couple million perished along the way, from hunger, illness, or exposure. These days we endlessly read painful discussions of the notorious “Trail of Tears” suffered by the Cherokees in the distant past of the early 19th century, but this rather similar 20th Century event was nearly a thousand-fold larger in size. Despite this huge discrepancy in magnitude and far greater distance in time, I would guess that the former event may command a thousand times the public awareness among ordinary Americans. If so, this would demonstrate that overwhelming media control can easily shift perceived reality by a factor of a million or more.
The population movement certainly seems to have represented the largest ethnic-cleansing in the history of the world, and if the Germany had ever done anything even remotely similar during its years of European victories and conquests, the visually-gripping scenes of such an enormous flood of desperate, trudging refugees would surely have become a centerpiece of numerous World War II movies of the last seventy years. But since nothing like that ever happened, Hollywood screenwriters lost a tremendous opportunity.
I think perhaps the most plausible explanation for the widespread promotion of a multitude of largely fictional German war-crimes at Nuremberg was to the camouflage and obscure the very real ones actually committed by the Allies.
Other related indicators may be found in the extreme tone of some of the American publications of the period, even those produced well before our country even entered the war. For example:
But as early as 1940, an American Jew named Theodore Kaufman became so enraged at what he regarded as Hitler’s mistreatment of German Jewry that he published a short book evocatively entitled Germany Must Perish!, in which he explicitly proposed the total extermination of the German people. And that book apparently received favorable if perhaps not entirely serious discussion in many of our most prestigious media outlets, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, and Time Magazine.
Surely any such similar book published in Hitler’s Germany that advocated the extermination of all Jews or Slavs would have been a centerpiece at Nuremberg, and any newspaper reviewers who had treated it favorably would probably have stood in the dock for “crimes against humanity.”
Meanwhile, the terrible nature of the Pacific War fought in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor is suggested by a 1944 issue of Life magazine that carried the photo of a young American woman with the skull of a Japanese soldier her boyfriend had sent her as a war souvenir. If any Nazi magazines ever featured similar images, I doubt the Allies would have had any need to fabricate ridiculous stories of human lampshades or soap.
And remarkably enough, that grotesque scene actually provides a reasonably accurate indication of the savage atrocities that were regularly committed during the brutal fighting of the Pacific Theater. These unpleasant facts were fully set forth in War Without Mercy, an award-winning 1986 volume by eminent American historian John W. Dower that received glowing accolades by leading scholars and public intellectuals.
The unfortunate truth is that Americans typically massacred Japanese who sought to surrender or who had even already been taken as prisoners, with the result that only a small slice—during some years merely a tiny sliver—of Japanese troops defeated in battle ever survived.
The traditional excuse publicly offered for the virtual absence of any Japanese POWs was that their Bushido code made surrender unthinkable, yet when the Soviets defeated Japanese armies in 1945, they had no difficulty capturing over a million prisoners. Indeed, since interrogating prisoners was important for intelligence purposes, late in the war U.S. commanders began offering rewards such as ice cream to their troops for bringing some surrendering Japanese in alive rather than killing them in the field.
American GIs also regularly committed remarkably savage atrocities. Dead or wounded Japanese frequently had their gold teeth knocked out and taken as war-booty, and their ears were often cut-off and kept as souvenirs, as was also sometimes the case with their skulls. Meanwhile, Dower notes the absence of any evidence suggesting similar behavior on the other side.
The American media generally portrayed the Japanese as vermin fit for eradication, and numerous public statements by high-ranking American military leaders explicitly claimed that the bulk of the entire Japanese population would probably need to be exterminated in order to bring the war to a successful conclusion. Comparing such thoroughly-documented facts with the rather tenuous accusations usually leveled against Nazi political or military leaders is quite revealing.
During the late 1980s evidence of other deep wartime secrets suddenly came to light.
While visiting France during 1986 in preparation for an unrelated book, a Canadian writer named James Bacque stumbled upon clues suggesting that one of the most terrible secrets of post-war Germany had long remained completely hidden, and he soon embarked upon extensive research into the subject, finally publishing Other Losses in 1989. Based upon very considerable evidence, including government records, personal interviews, and recorded eyewitness testimony, he argued that after the end of the war, the Americans had starved to death as many as a million German POWs, seemingly as a deliberate act of policy, a war crime that would surely rank among the greatest in history. For decades, Western propagandists had relentlessly barraged the Soviets with claims that they were keeping back a million or more “missing” German POWs as slave-laborers in their Gulag, while the Soviets had endlessly denied these accusations. According to Bacque, the Soviets had been telling the truth all along, and the missing soldiers had been among the enormous numbers who had fled westward near the end of the war, seeking what they assumed would be far better treatment at the hands of the advancing Anglo-American armies. But instead, they were denied all normal legal protections, and confined under horrible conditions where they rapidly perished of hunger, illness, and exposure. Without attempting to summarize Bacque’s extensive accumulation of supporting material, a few of his factual elements are worth mentioning. At the close of hostilities, the American government employed circuitous legal reasoning to argue that the many millions of German troops that they had captured should not be considered “prisoners of war” and therefore were not covered by the provisions of the Geneva Convention. Soon afterward, attempts by the International Red Cross to provide food shipments to the enormous Allied prison camps were repeatedly rejected, and notices were posted throughout the nearby German towns and villages that any civilian who attempted to smuggle food to the desperate POWs might be shot on sight. These undeniable historical facts do seem to suggest certain dark possibilities. Although initially released by an obscure publisher, Bacque’s book soon became a sensation and an international best-seller. He paints Gen. Dwight Eisenhower as the central culprit behind the tragedy, noting the far lower POW losses in areas outside his control, and suggests that as a highly ambitious “political general” of German-American ancestry, he may have been under intense pressure to demonstrate his “harshness” toward the defeated Wehrmacht foe. Furthermore, once the Cold War ended and the Soviet Archives were open to scholars, their contents seem to have strongly validated Bacque’s thesis. He notes that although the archives do contain explicit evidence of such long-denied atrocities as Stalin’s Katyn Forest massacre of Poland’s officer corps, they show absolutely no signs of any million missing German POWs, who instead had very likely ended their lives in the starvation and illness of Eisenhower’s death camps. Bacque points out that the German government has issued severe legal threats against anyone seeking to investigate the likely sites of the mass graves that might hold the remains of those long-dead POWs, and in an updated edition, he also mentions Germany’s enactment of harsh new laws meting out heavy prison sentences to anyone who merely questions the official narrative of World War II. Bacque’s discussion of the new evidence of the Kremlin archives constitutes a relatively small portion of his 1997 sequel, Crimes and Mercies, which centered around an even more explosive analysis, and also became an international best-seller. As described above, first-hand observers of post-war Germany in 1947 and 1948 such as Gollanz and Utley, had directly reported on the horrific conditions they discovered, and stated that for years official food rations for the entire population had been comparable to that of the inmates of Nazi concentration camps and sometimes far lower, leading to the widespread malnutrition and illness they witnessed all around them. They also noted the destruction of most of Germany’s pre-war housing stock and the severe overcrowding produced by the influx of so many millions of pitiful ethnic German refugees expelled from other parts of Central and Eastern Europe. But these visitors lacked any access to solid population statistics, and could only speculate upon the enormous human death toll that hunger and illness had already inflicted, and which would surely continue if policies were not quickly changed. Years of archival research by Bacque attempt to answer this question, and the conclusion he provides is certainly not a pleasant one. Both the Allied military government and the later German civilian authorities seem to have made a concerted effort to hide or obscure the true scale of the calamity visited upon German civilians during the years 1945-1950, and the official mortality statistics found in government reports are simply too fantastical to possibly be correct, although they became the basis for the subsequent histories of that period. Bacque notes that these figures suggest that the death rate during the terrible conditions of 1947, long remembered as the “Hunger Year” (Hungerjahr) and vividly described in Gollancz’s account, was actually lower than that of the prosperous Germany of the late 1960s. Furthermore, private reports by American officials, mortality rates from individual localities, and other strong evidence demonstrate that these long-accepted aggregate numbers were essentially fictional. Instead, Bacque attempts to provide more realistic estimates based upon an examination of the population totals of the various German censuses together with the recorded influx of the huge number of German refugees. Based upon this simple analysis, he makes a reasonably strong case that the excess German deaths during that period amounted to at least around 10 million, and possibly many millions more. Furthermore, he provides substantial evidence that the starvation was either deliberate or at least enormously worsened by American government resistance to overseas food relief efforts. Perhaps these numbers should not be so totally surprising given that the official Morgenthau Plan had envisioned the elimination of around 20 million Germans, and as Bacque demonstrates, top American leaders quietly agreed to continue that policy in practice even while they renounced it in theory. Assuming these numbers are even remotely correct, the implications are quite remarkable. The toll of the human catastrophe experienced in post-war Germany would certainly rank among the greatest in modern peacetime history, far exceeding the deaths that occurred during the Ukrainian Famine of the early 1930s and possibly even approaching the wholly unintentional losses during Mao’s Great Leap Forward of 1959-61. Furthermore, the post-war German losses would vastly outrank either of these other unfortunate events in percentage terms and this would remain true even if the Bacque’s estimates are considerably reduced. Yet I doubt if even a small fraction of one percent of Americans are today aware of this enormous human calamity. Presumably memories are much stronger in Germany itself, but given the growing legal crackdown on discordant views in that unfortunate country, I suspect that anyone who discusses the topic too energetically risks immediate imprisonment. To a considerable extent, this historical ignorance has been heavily fostered by our governments, often using underhanded or even nefarious means. Just like in the old decaying USSR, much of the current political legitimacy of today’s American government and its various European vassal-states is founded upon a particular narrative history of World War II, and challenging that narrative might produce dire political consequences. Bacque credibly relates some of the apparent efforts to dissuade any major newspaper or magazine from running articles discussing the startling findings of his first book, thereby imposing a “blackout” aimed at absolutely minimizing any media coverage. Such measures seem to have been quite effective, since until eight or nine years ago, I’m not sure I had ever heard a word of these shocking ideas, and I have certainly never seen them seriously discussed in any of the numerous newspapers or magazines that I have carefully read over the last three decades. Even illegal means were employed to hinder the efforts of this solitary, determined scholar. At times, Bacque’s phone-lines were tapped, his mail intercepted, and his research materials surreptitiously copied, while his access to some official archives was blocked. Some of the elderly eyewitnesses who personally corroborated his analysis received threatening notes and had their property vandalized. In his Foreword to this 1997 book, De Zayas, the eminent international human rights attorney, praised Bacque’s ground-breaking research, and hoped that it would soon lead to a major scholarly debate aimed at reassessing the true facts of these historical events that had taken place a half-century earlier. But in his update to the 2007 edition, he expressed some outrage that no such discussion ever occurred, and instead the German government merely passed a series of harsh laws mandating prison sentences for anyone who substantially disputed the settled narrative of World War II and its immediate aftermath, perhaps by overly focusing on the suffering of German civilians. Although both of Bacque’s books became international best-sellers, the near-complete absence of any secondary media coverage ensured that they never entered public awareness with anything more than a pinprick. Another important factor is the tremendously disproportionate reach of print and electronic media. A best-seller may be read by many tens of thousands of people, but a successful film might reach tens of millions, and so long as Hollywood churns out endless movies denouncing Germany’s atrocities but not a single one on the other side, the true facts of that history are hardly likely to gain much traction. I strongly suspect that far more people today believe in the real-life existence of Batman and Spiderman than are even aware of the Bacque Hypothesis.
Many of the elements presented above were drawn from my previous articles published over the last year or so, but I believe there is some value in providing this same material in unified form rather than only separately, even if the total length necessarily becomes quite considerable.
World War II dominates our twentieth century landscape like a colossus, and still casts huge shadows across our modern world. That global conflict has probably been the subject of far more sustained coverage, whether in print or electronic media, than any other event in human history. So if we encounter a small handful of highly anomalous items that seem to directly contradict such an ocean of enormously detailed and long-accepted information, there is a natural tendency to dismiss these few outliers as implausible or even delusional.
But once the total number of such discordant seemingly yet well-documented elements becomes sufficiently large, we must take them more seriously, and perhaps eventually concede that most of them are probably correct. As was suggested in a quote widely if doubtfully attributed to Stalin, “Quantity has a quality all of its own.”
I am hardly the first individual to gradually become aware of this sweeping and cohesive counter-narrative of the Second World War, and a few months ago I happened to read Germany’s War, published in 2014 by amateur historian John Wear.
Drawing from sources that substantially overlap with the ones I have discussed, his conclusions are reasonably similar to my own, but presented in a book length form that includes some 1,200 exact source references. So those interested in a much more detailed exposition of these same issues can read it and decide for themselves.
When intellectual freedom is under attack, challenging an officially enshrined mythology may become legally perilous. I have seen claims that thousands of individuals who hold heterodox opinions about various aspects of the history of World War II are today imprisoned across Europe on the basis of those beliefs. If so, that total is probably far higher than the number of ideological dissidents who had suffered a similar fate in the decaying Soviet Bloc countries of the 1980s.
World War II ended nearly three generations ago, and few of its adult survivors still walk the earth. From one perspective the true facts of that conflict and whether or not they actually contradict our traditional beliefs might appear rather irrelevant. Tearing down the statues of some long-dead historical figures and replacing them with the statues of others hardly seems of much practical value.
But if we gradually conclude that the story that all of us have been told during our entire lifetimes is substantially false and perhaps largely inverted, the implications for our understanding of the world are enormous. Most of the surprising material presented here is hardly hidden or kept under lock-and-key. Nearly all the books are easily available at Amazon or even freely readable on the Internet, many of the authors have received critical and scholarly acclaim, and in some cases their works have sold in the millions.
Yet this important material has been almost entirely ignored or dismissed by the popular media that shapes the common beliefs of our society. So we must necessarily begin to wonder what other massive falsehoods may have been similarly promoted by that media, perhaps involving incidents of the recent past or even the present day. And those latter events do have enormous practical significance. As I pointed out several years ago in my original American Pravda article:
Aside from the evidence of our own senses, almost everything we know about the past or the news of today comes from bits of ink on paper or colored pixels on a screen, and fortunately over the last decade or two the growth of the Internet has vastly widened the range of information available to us in that latter category.
Even if the overwhelming majority of the unorthodox claims provided by such non-traditional web-based sources is incorrect, at least there now exists the possibility of extracting vital nuggets of truth from vast mountains of falsehood.
We must also recognize that many of the fundamental ideas that dominate our present-day world were founded upon a particular understanding of that wartime history, and if there seems good reason to believe that narrative is substantially false, perhaps we should begin questioning the framework of beliefs erected upon it.
George Orwell fought in the Spanish Civil War during the 1930s and discovered that the true facts in Spain were radically different from what he had been led to believe by the British media of his day. In 1948 these past experiences together with the rapidly congealing “official history” of the Second World War may have been uppermost in his mind when he published his classic novel 1984, which famously declared that “Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.”
Indeed, as I noted last year this observation has never been more true than when we consider some of the historical assumptions that govern the politics of today’s world, and the likelihood that they are entirely misleading:
Back in those late Cold War days, the death toll of innocent civilians from the Bolshevik Revolution and the first two decades of the Soviet Regime was generally reckoned at running well into the tens of millions when we include the casualties of the Russian Civil War, the government-induced famines, the Gulag, and the executions. I’ve heard that these numbers have been substantially revised downwards to perhaps as little as twenty million or so, but no matter. Although determined Soviet apologists may dispute such very large figures, they have always been part of the standard narrative history taught within the West. Meanwhile, all historians know perfectly well that the Bolshevik leaders were overwhelmingly Jewish, with three of the five revolutionaries Lenin named as his plausible successors coming from that background. Although only around 4% of Russia’s population was Jewish, a few years ago Vladimir Putin stated that Jews constituted perhaps 80-85% of the early Soviet government, an estimate fully consistent with the contemporaneous claims of Winston Churchill, Times of London correspondent Robert Wilton, and the officers of American Military Intelligence. Recent books by Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Yuri Slezkine, and others have all painted a very similar picture. And prior to World War II, Jews remained enormously over-represented in the Communist leadership, especially dominating the Gulag administration and the top ranks of the dreaded NKVD. Both of these simple facts have been widely accepted in America throughout my entire lifetime. But combine them together with the relatively tiny size of worldwide Jewry, around 16 million prior to World War II, and the inescapable conclusion is that in per capita terms Jews were the greatest mass-murderers of the twentieth century, holding that unfortunate distinction by an enormous margin and with no other nationality coming even remotely close. And yet, by the astonishing alchemy of Hollywood, the greatest killers of the last one hundred years have somehow been transmuted into being seen as the greatest victims, a transformation so seemingly implausible that future generations will surely be left gasping in awe. Today’s American Neocons are just as heavily Jewish as were the Bolsheviks of a hundred years ago, and they have greatly benefited from the political immunity provided by this totally bizarre inversion of historical reality. Partly as a consequence of their media-fabricated victimhood status, they have managed to seize control over much of our political system, especially our foreign policy, and have spent the last few years doing their utmost to foment an absolutely insane war with nuclear-armed Russia. If they do manage to achieve that unfortunate goal, they will surely outdo the very impressive human body-count racked up by their ethnic ancestors, perhaps even by an order-of-magnitude or more.

President Donald Trump is expected to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Netanyahu’s political rival Benny Gantz at the White House on January 28 to unveil the president’s “Deal of the Century” peace deal for the Middle East.
Though the full plan has not been released, the deal reportedly delivers nearly all of Israel’s demands in exchange for the possibility of maybe, someday recognizing a Palestinian state.
“Peace has nothing to do with it,” said Haaretz journalist Amir Tibon.

If the Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas rejects the already declared “dead on arrival” plan, they will be severely punish as Israel would will have US support to begin annexing settlements unilaterally and basically anything else they want.

Vice President Mike Pence announced the White House meeting on Thursday during a visit to Jerusalem.

“At the prime minister’s suggestion,” the vice president added, “I also extended an invitation to Benny Gantz.”
“The White House apparently thinks the two sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are the Israeli right and the Israeli center,” tweeted University of Maryland professor Shibley Telhami.
According to the Times of Israel, the deal drastically undercuts Palestinian hopes for recovering land stolen by Israeli settlements and allows Israel to expand its territory even further:
The plan will be unveiled next week, and is the most generous US proposal ever for Israel, an unsourced Channel 12 report said, likely providing for Israeli sovereignty over all West Bank settlements alongside a recognition of Palestinian statehood. The network said the plan apparently includes a “significant moving of the [Israeli] border” eastwards, without specifying.
The plan is unlikely to net support from Palestinians, the Europeans, or Arab states, journalist Neri Zibler said, meaning that the deal may be primarily aimed at helping Netanyahu’s political prospects. But rejecting the plan comes with its own set of consequences.
“Real danger on the ground is what an Israeli government does afterwards,” said Zibler. “Push for annexation (per the American plan) will be intense.”
The American peace advocacy group J-Street said the deal is all about giving Israel the green light to take more territory.
“The plan is expected to be the culmination of a series of steps taken by Trump and his team to advance the annexationist agenda of Prime Minister Netanyahu and the far-right settlement movement in Israel,” the group wrote. “The known contours of the plan appear designed to formalize, entrench, and legitimize permanent Israeli control of the occupied West Bank and to undercut any prospect of Palestinian statehood via a two-state solution.”
Next week’s meeting to discuss the plan will come smack dab in the middle of the president’s impeachment trial in the Senate, timing that was not missed by observers.
As impeachment trial continues, White House announces Israelis will be at the WH on Tuesday next week; Trump has a campaign rally that night in Wildwood, NJ. https://t.co/gr7ZvzFU93 — Jennifer Jacobs (@JenniferJJacobs) January 23, 2020

prepareforchange--2020-01-23--11 simple practices to supercharge the power & effectiveness of your prayers

Prayer is one of the most common and effective forms of spiritual practice on the planet , and there are 11 simple practices you can follow to help increase the power and effectiveness of your prayers , writes Craig Donaldson Gandhi once said , “ Prayer is not asking .
It is a longing of the soul.
” Prayer is one of the oldest forms of devotion on the planet .
It is a source of joy , comfort and spiritual upliftment for millions of people the world over and still remains one of the most effective means of connecting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to call the Creator ) .
It can be as simple as a “ thank you ” to the universe , or deep and holy prayer uttered from the heart .
Here are some simple practices you can use to increase the power of your own prayer : 1 .
Set aside a special time and place for prayer .
You can pray more effectively if you have a special time and place for doing so .
The early morning or just before going to bed are good times to pray .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ five minutes is a great start .
It also helps if you have a routine place to pray in .
It need not be a whole room – a private corner in a bedroom or study will do .
Find a clean place that is well lit and aired .
You can set up a small altar with some candles , flowers and crystals , and favourite pictures of saints or angels , pictures of loved ones or friends in need of healing .
This is your private space for going within so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
2 .
Ask God to help you in your prayer .
God is not only able to answer your prayer , but he is also able to make your prayer to him stronger .
You can also ask the angels or your Higher Self to help you pray .
You have a special contact with God through your Higher Self , or your Christ Self .
Your Christ Self is truly your best friend , inner teacher and voice of conscience .
When you pray , it is your Christ Self who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
There are some mantras you can use to help God and your Christ Self to help you .
Jesus once appeared to the fourteenth-century saint Catherine of Sienna as she was praying and said to her : Do you know , daughter , who you are and who I am ?
If you know these two things , you would be blessed .
You are that which is not ; I am he who is .
If you have this knowledge in your soul , the enemy can never deceive you ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you will never consent to anything contrary to my commandments ; and without difficulty you will acquire every grace , every truth , every light .
Thus Catherine gleaned a profound insight : “ God all , I nothing ” , and the mantra “ Thou the all ; I the nothing ” was inspired upon her .
Every time she recited it , she was emptying herself for the divine to enter .
You can also use this mantra before praying to draw closer to your Christ Self .
The power of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ realise that God is the doer .
Jesus affirmed this when he said : “ I of mine own self can do nothing .
It is the Father in me which doeth the work.
” In prayer , it is the divine within you appealing to the divine above .
The divine within you is a part of God that he has placed within you as his child .
It is a spiritual flame that burns within your heart , and can increase in size by the power of fervent prayer .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Jesus spoke about .
An eleventh-century saint called Symeon the New Theologian spoke of this flame in the heart : “ What words can describe this !
.
.
.
I see a light which the world does not possess .
Sitting in the cell I see within me the Creator of the world.
” The Chandogya Upanishad , a sacred Hindu text , tells us that “ The light that shines beyond all things on earth , beyond us all , .
.
.
this is the light that shines in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of this flame : “ The road of Buddhahood is open to all .
At all times have all living beings the Germ of Buddhahood in them.
” When you really allow the divine within you to reach out for help to God above , the results can be spectacular .
We all use our outer consciousness in daily activities .
When we ’ re at work , watching TV or playing sport , most often our attention is focused outside of us .
But in prayer , we need to turn our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are “ going into the closet to pray ” .
You are shutting your consciousness to the outside world to go within and spend time with God .
You can do this through a simple exercise .
First , concentrate on your heart and imagine you are breathing through your heart .
Then visualize a brilliant sun of light above you .
It is so bright it is almost blinding .
Then see this sun gently descending into your heart .
See yourself entering this brilliant sphere of light , where you find @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may see your heart flame , Christ Self , Ascended Masters or angels .
Ascended Masters are spiritual beings who once walked the earth like you and me .
They faced the same challenges of day-to-day life , making peace with others , passing their tests and eventually fulfilling their reason for being , and then reuniting with or ascending back to God .
Talk to them about what is on your heart .

By Guest Writer Craig Donaldson,
Prayer is one of the most common and effective forms of spiritual practice on the planet, and there are 11 simple practices you can follow to help increase the power and effectiveness of your prayers, writes Craig Donaldson
Gandhi once said, “Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul.”
Prayer is one of the oldest forms of devotion on the planet. It is a source of joy, comfort and spiritual upliftment for millions of people the world over and still remains one of the most effective means of connecting with God (or whatever you choose to call the Creator). It can be as simple as a “thank you” to the universe, or deep and holy prayer uttered from the heart. Here are some simple practices you can use to increase the power of your own prayer:
1. Set aside a special time and place for prayer.
You can pray more effectively if you have a special time and place for doing so. The early morning or just before going to bed are good times to pray. It doesn’t have to long – five minutes is a great start.
It also helps if you have a routine place to pray in. It need not be a whole room – a private corner in a bedroom or study will do. Find a clean place that is well lit and aired. You can set up a small altar with some candles, flowers and crystals, and favourite pictures of saints or angels, pictures of loved ones or friends in need of healing. This is your private space for going within so make sure you feel comfortable with it.
2. Ask God to help you in your prayer.
God is not only able to answer your prayer, but he is also able to make your prayer to him stronger. You can also ask the angels or your Higher Self to help you pray. You have a special contact with God through your Higher Self, or your Christ Self. Your Christ Self is truly your best friend, inner teacher and voice of conscience. When you pray, it is your Christ Self who goes before God to intercede for you.
There are some mantras you can use to help God and your Christ Self to help you. Jesus once appeared to the fourteenth-century saint Catherine of Sienna as she was praying and said to her:
Do you know, daughter, who you are and who I am? If you know these two things, you would be blessed. You are that which is not; I am he who is. If you have this knowledge in your soul, the enemy can never deceive you; you will escape all his snares; you will never consent to anything contrary to my commandments; and without difficulty you will acquire every grace, every truth, every light.
Thus Catherine gleaned a profound insight: “God all, I nothing”, and the mantra “Thou the all; I the nothing” was inspired upon her. Every time she recited it, she was emptying herself for the divine to enter. You can also use this mantra before praying to draw closer to your Christ Self.
3. God is the doer.
The power of your prayers will increase dramatically when you realise that God is the doer. Jesus affirmed this when he said: “I of mine own self can do nothing. It is the Father in me which doeth the work.” In prayer, it is the divine within you appealing to the divine above.
The divine within you is a part of God that he has placed within you as his child. It is a spiritual flame that burns within your heart, and can increase in size by the power of fervent prayer. This flame is the kingdom of Heaven within that Jesus spoke about.
An eleventh-century saint called Symeon the New Theologian spoke of this flame in the heart: “What words can describe this! . . . I see a light which the world does not possess. Sitting in the cell I see within me the Creator of the world.” The Chandogya Upanishad, a sacred Hindu text, tells us that “The light that shines beyond all things on earth, beyond us all, . . . this is the light that shines in our hearts.”
One Buddhist text says of this flame: “The road of Buddhahood is open to all. At all times have all living beings the Germ of Buddhahood in them.” When you really allow the divine within you to reach out for help to God above, the results can be spectacular.
4. Center in your heart.
We all use our outer consciousness in daily activities. When we’re at work, watching TV or playing sport, most often our attention is focused outside of us. But in prayer, we need to turn our consciousness inward. By doing this you are “going into the closet to pray”. You are shutting your consciousness to the outside world to go within and spend time with God. You can do this through a simple exercise.
First, concentrate on your heart and imagine you are breathing through your heart. Then visualize a brilliant sun of light above you. It is so bright it is almost blinding. Then see this sun gently descending into your heart. See yourself entering this brilliant sphere of light, where you find your own special prayer place. You may see your heart flame, Christ Self, Ascended Masters or angels. Ascended Masters are spiritual beings who once walked the earth like you and me. They faced the same challenges of day-to-day life, making peace with others, passing their tests and eventually fulfilling their reason for being, and then reuniting with or ascending back to God.
Talk to them about what is on your heart. Don’t be bashful – they dearly want to be your closest friends, and will listen to you with unconditional love.
5. Adjust your prayer according to the will of God.
There may be many things we desire – good health, more money, a better job, a new car. We all need money and other possessions to live in a material world, and God is more than happy to supply us with these things if it will bring us closer to him.
But God knows what is the best possible gift for us at any moment. There are many more things that he can and will give us-gifts of the Spirit like compassion, wisdom and healing that will make us a lot happier in ourselves, and more at peace with others.
So instead of asking that our prayer be answered as we want, you can ask that your prayer “be adjusted according to the will of God” to receive the answer that is best for you and for the souls whom you are praying for.
6. Use the name of God.
Some people can get great results in prayer just by speaking to God without using his name. But when you use the name of God, I AM THAT I AM, you increase the power of your prayer greatly.
When God spoke to Moses out of the burning bush, he told him to tell the children of Israel that his name is I AM THAT I AM and that “this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.” The Jerusalem bible translates this as “This is my name for all time; by this name I shall be invoked for all generations to come.” When God revealed his name to Moses, he was giving us the authority to invoke him through his name. To use this in prayer, simply pray, “God, in your name I AM THAT I AM, please . . .”
Always pray out loud if possible. There is power in your voice. God used this power when he said: “Let there be light.” By using your gift of speech, you can also increase your prayer’s effectiveness.
7. Visualize what you want to happen.
What you think about when you pray can greatly affect the quality of your prayer. You can increase the power of your prayer by mentally seeing the answers to your prayers. Always picture something better than you are experiencing now, and see the answers to your prayers come to life, just like a movie. You can also visualize brilliant light surrounding the situation or problem. If you are working with a particular Master or angel, see them interceding on your behalf.
For example, if you are having difficulty forgiving someone, concentrate on feelings of peace, understanding and forgiveness. See the two of you hugging, making up and being friends. See that newfound friendship getting stronger with understanding and acceptance. Even if you don’t mean it to start off with and have to grit your teeth to do it, you will find that it works and, over time, will be able to love that person.
8. Let go.
You can increase your prayer’s power by letting go and turning over to God whatever you are praying about. When you do this, your prayer soars heavenward, allowing God and his angels to work on answering it without hindrance.
When you don’t let go, your energies can interfere with the prayer being answered as swiftly and as powerfully as possible. Don’t be attached to the outcome of your prayers and try not to anticipate how your desires will be fulfilled. For many, waiting for the answers to their prayers is their greatest test. They often become discouraged and give up just as God is about to answer their prayers.
If you have any doubts about God’s ability to answer your prayers, turn them over to him and ask him for the faith to believe in him.
9. Be grateful.
By cultivating gratitude, you open yourself to receiving more of God’s gifts. Gratitude is the law of increase. If you thank God not only for the answers you do receive, but for those you don’t, or unexpected answers, you open yourself up to receiving more from him. You can express this at the end of your prayer, for example, as you adjust your prayer according to God’s will you can say: “I thank you God and accept it done now with full power according to your will. Amen.”
You can also express your gratitude to God throughout the day and send him thanks for the answers to your prayers. Don’t be disappointed if your prayers aren’t answered immediately. God may be trying to lead you in another direction that will be more beneficial to you.
Prayer is two-way, so don’t forget to listen to God throughout the day for his replies. Be prepared for results, even if they aren’t the ones you are expecting. Many people have had their prayers answered even years later when they forgot all about them.
10. Be specific.
The more specific you are in your prayers, the better God is able to answer you. As long as you are living your life in harmony and devoting your energy to helping others, God will help you with the smallest details of your life.
For example, if you need a new car, include all the details – cost, make, model, year, registration, colour, condition and mileage. If you need a spiritual gift, such as compassion, explain the nature of the problem, such as judgment or criticism, when and where it appears, with whom and how. Ask God to help you overcome it, and be willing to follow his guidance from your heart.
It can help to make a list of all the things you need help with to be more specific. Ask yourself what you want out of your prayers. You can recite the list each day in prayer, ticking things off as they are answered, and adding new things as they arise.
11. Accept God’s gifts.
God wants to give us a lot – often all that we want and more. When we can surrender our desires to God and allow him to give us what he wants, we open ourselves up to an infinite source of abundance.
There may be times when you feel unworthy of God’s love and gifts. If you don’t feel worthy to accept God’s gifts, it helps to “act as if”. Act as if you are worthy, and a sense of worthiness will follow. You can also use affirmations to increase your sense of worthiness, for example, “I AM worthy to be loved because I AM a child of God.” Visualize yourself radiating love and light as God’s child while you repeat this affirmation.
You are a loving and precious child of God and deserve all that he has to offer.
