In order for white Europeans to finally escape the hole they have dug for themselves, they must reevaluate the Second World War. This was the war in which Europe was conquered by the forces of liberal democracy coming from the west, and the forces of communism coming from east—two sides of the same globalist coin. Ultimately, whites were the big loser in that conflict, with over ten million needlessly slaughtered. But this was all for the good, we’ve been taught. This was all to crush a great evil, one we were told we’d do much better without. Only now, we are beginning to realize that we not doing any better without this so-called evil. With Europe and America being invaded by the Third World, and with this catastrophe being funded, enabled, and cheered on by the very inheritors of the victors of the Second World War, we’re beginning to discover an evil greater than the one we eradicated in 1945.

I would say reevaluating the Second World War ranks higher in importance than being versed in race realism, the Jewish Question, or white identity, as crucial as all of these things are. Fortunately, former Fox News personality and independent journalist Tucker Carlson is doing just this. Recently, he hosted historian and podcaster Darryl Cooper for an interview on X to discuss the Jonestown massacre and Cooper’s upcoming and sure-to-be-controversial project on WWII. Given the million-plus views and ten thousand comments their conversation has garnered, revisionist notions are suddenly, miraculously back in play in the American mainstream. As I listened to this engrossing podcast, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

Starting off, Carlson could not have praised Cooper more effusively—so much so that what followed will be impossible for him to walk back. Darryl Cooper, according to Carlson, is “the most important popular historian working in the United States today†thanks to his “relentless curiosity and honesty.†As it turns out, Cooper’s curiosity and honesty have led him to some rather scandalous opinions on the Second World War, which he correctly described as “the founding mythology of the order that we’re all living in.†You can say what you want about other historical events, but to deviate from the accepted narrative on this one is to violate some serious taboos. And one way to ensure a topic remains poorly understood is to slather it with taboos.

I mean, again, like a historical event like World War two, where I mean, the one rule is that you shall not do that. You shall not look at this topic and try to understand how the Germans saw the world. Like how the whole thing, from the First World War on up to the very end of the war, how these people might have genuinely felt like they were the ones under attack. That they were the ones being victimized by their neighbors and by all these, by the Allied powers. You know, and you can handle that with a sentence, you know, you can wave it off and say, well, you know, they’re justifying themselves, their rationalizing their evil, or whatever you want to say. But again, I think we’re getting to the point where that’s very unsatisfying . . .

So Cooper wishes to understand the German perspective regarding the war. That in and of itself is not terribly scandalous. Then again, never once did he say that the German perspective was necessarily correct or moral. He understands that there are layers upon layers here—nothing one can uncover in a two-hour podcast. But like a good historian, he also knows that demonizing one side of a conflict isn’t right.

And so if you start talking about the interwar period and how Weimar, the Weimar culture, you know, after the First World War led to something like, the rise of the National Socialists and why the people who embraced that movement did embrace it. . . . You know, you had this country, Germany, a sophisticated cultural super power. That was fine. And then they all turned into demons for a few years, and now they’re fine again. Like, that’s sort of the official story. And I think deep down, we all know that makes no sense.

If he refuses to demonize the German people, that’s one thing. But at least Cooper has the sense to demonize Adolf Hitler, right? Well, not so fast:

Churchill was the chief villain of the Second World War. Now, he didn’t kill the most people. He didn’t commit the most atrocities[…] I think when you really get into it and tell the story right and don’t leave anything out, you see that he was primarily responsible for that war becoming what it did, becoming something other than an invasion of Poland.

Cooper argues further that Hitler, after achieving victory over Poland, fired off peace proposals to France and England, begging them to rescind their war declaration. Hitler even flew planes over England to drop leaflets expressing Germany’s desire for peace. According to messages like these, Hitler not only wanted peace, he wanted England to remain strong—with all of its colonies intact—in order to thwart the great communist menace in the Soviet Union. All sadly fell on deaf ears.

The reason I resent Churchill so much for it is that he kept this war going when he had no way, he had no way to go back and fight this war. All he had were bombers. He was literally, by 1940, sending firebomb fleets, sending bomber fleets to go firebomb the Black Forest. Just to burn down sections of the Black Forest. Just rank terrorism, you know […] What eventually became the carpet bombing, the saturation bombing of civilian neighborhoods […] the purpose of which was to kill as many civilians as possible. And all the men were out in the field. All the fighting age men were out in the field. And so this is old people. It’s women and children. And they knew that.

Sort of like how the Allies starved 850,000 Germans—old people and children, mostly—during their naval blockade at the end of the First World War. Of course, the Germans remembered that. Of course, they would scoff at any Allied notions of human rights after that. One thing that Cooper does not mention however was that Churchill had been egged on by none other than President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Washington. FDR had desperately wanted war with Germany and had pressured Churchill’s predecessor Neville Chamberlain during the late 1930s into provoking one—as it turned out, by propping up Poland with a “blank check.†According to Robert Stinnett in Day of Deceit FDR had goaded Japan into war for this very reason due to Japan’s alliance with Germany. And those long-range heavy bombers which Cooper mentions? They were manufactured for the very purpose of bombing German civilians by the supposed appeaser Chamberlain throughout 1938 and 1939.

As for Churchill’s motive, Cooper delves into the man’s inflated vision of himself and need for redemption after the Gallipoli disaster he engineered during WWI. He calls Churchill a psychopath and a drunk, and relates how as an adult he would play with war toys and action figures in his bedroom. Then, after touching upon Churchill’s preference of Zionism over Bolshevism as career paths for young Eastern-European Jewish radicals, he hits one of the third rails of revisionist WWII history:

But then as time goes on, you know, you read stories about Churchill going bankrupt and needing money. Getting bailed out by people who shared his interests, you know, in terms of Zionism, but also, his hostility […] Put it this way, I think his hostility to Germany was real. I don’t think that he necessarily had to be bribed to have that feeling. But, you know, I think he was, to an extent, put in place by people, the financiers, by a media complex that wanted to make sure that he was the guy who, you know, who was representing Britain in that conflict for a reason.

So without explicitly naming the Jew, Cooper relays one very important historic undercurrent of the Second World War—that during the 1930s, Winston Churchill had been financed by Jews who shared both his interests in Zionism and war lust against Nazi Germany. This is real David Irving territory. And it gets better (or worse, depending on your perspective). Cooper actually commits the sin of delving into Nazi atrocities in Eastern Europe without mentioning the Jewish Holocaust. Instead, he frames the atrocities as the German forces being unexpectedly overwhelmed with millions of prisoners and not being able to feed them.

In 1941, they launched a war where they were completely unprepared to deal with the millions and millions, of prisoners of war, of local political prisoners and so forth that they were going to have to handle. They went in with no plan for that. And they just threw these people into camps, and millions of people ended up dead there. You know, you have like, letters as early as July, August, 1941 from commandants of these makeshift camps that they’re setting up for these millions of people who were surrendering or people that are rounding up […] So it’s two months after, a month or two after Barbarossa was launched, and they’re writing back to the high command in Berlin, saying we can’t feed these people, we don’t have the food to feed these people. And one of them actually says, rather than wait for them all to slowly starve this winter, wouldn’t it be more humane to just finish them off quickly now?

Three things need to be noted here. First, Cooper never claims that this scenario explains all the atrocities committed by the Germans during the war, nor does he exonerate German high command of ever ordering atrocities to be committed in the first place. Thus to claim he is denying any aspect of the Jewish Holocaust during this interview is unfair to say the least.

Second, he is taking the Germans to task for making this mistake. That they invaded the Soviet Union without a plan to care for millions of prisoners is on them alone. He does this even while giving oxygen to Hitler’s rationale for invading—to protect oil fields in Romania from a seemingly imminent Soviet surprise attack. And this was a real concern.

Finally, Cooper’s mode of expression is the podcast rather than the written word. He posts hours and hours of podcasts on X on a variety of subjects—32 alone for the Jonestown event, which both men discuss for the first half hour of their discussion. As far as I can tell, he is still working on his World War Two episodes, and so to judge him based on a relatively brief discussion on a work he hasn’t completed yet is a bit premature.

Of course, we can agree or disagree with Cooper’s assessment. He could be right or wrong. But his fearless and iconoclastic approach to history should be encouraged since it will help override taboos and present a clearer picture of what happened during the most critical period of the twentieth century. Unfortunately, the oppressive shadow of the Second World War remains long within the minds of our status quo guardians. Many lined up to attack or refute both Cooper and Carlson—conservative, liberals, it didn’t matter. As with Cooper, they could be right or wrong. But when people start lobbing ad hominem and calling for his censorship or cancellation—as well as Carlson’s—that’s when you cross a line. This is how you suppress history, and, by extension, the people to whom the history belongs. Ultimately, it’s about power in the here and now, and not whether Operation Razzle proved successful in the Black Forest in 1940. Kevin MacDonald breaks down the response of New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg quite nicely. I, on the other hand, would like to respond to Cathy Young of The Bulwark.

Young starts off classy with an ad hominem in the title of her recent piece, “Tucker Carlson and the Beer Hall Putz.†(If Darryl Cooper is a “putzâ€, does that make Cathy Young a midwit anti-white yenta?) She also applies scare quotes to Cooper’s profession (“historianâ€), insinuates that he is a Nazi, and trots out a number of mainstream historians to refute Cooper’s admittedly incomplete presentation of history. You’d think a disinterested observer would say, “Let’s wait and see what this Cooper fellow has up his sleeve once his podcasts are completed.†But no. It’s as if our status quo guardians were chomping at the bit to personally slag off anyone who even whispers against their precious orthodoxy.

While Victor Davis Hanson at least had the decency to stick to the facts, Young does what Jewish anti-whites often do: they amplify everything even superficially negative about their victims while ignoring everything good. For example, in their conversation Cooper as well as Carlson express real sympathy for mostly-black victims of the Jonestown massacre as well for the Eastern European victims of communist brutality after the Second World War. Cooper also describes his civil interactions with Jewish listeners. Cooper is clearly knowledgeable, passionate, and thoughtful about history. All good things, right? One would think that a fair-minded critic would withhold judgment or maybe give him the benefit of the doubt. Cooper could be wrong about this or that, but does he deserve to be demonized? Cathy Young seems to think so. Therefore, she ignores any positives Cooper brings to the table.

Instead she accuses him of having an “obsessive hatred of Judaism,†which her X link does not support. Cooper simply claims Yahweh of the Old Testament perpetrated unsurpassed brutality. This is something that can be evaluated through a comparative analysis of scripture, and hardly qualifies as hatred. She then dredges up his interpretation of the Bible in which he claims that “God sent the Romans to destroy the leprous temple and put an end to the Israelite religion for all time.†This is the self-justifying hardline that true believers of any religion should take. In the same X post, Cooper makes it clear that according to Christian dogma, Jews (who are no different than any other people) should embrace Christ since their task as imparted by God was complete by the time of the Second Temple’s destruction in 70 AD. Again, Cooper could be right or wrong and his exegesis may or may not be controversial, but this is certainly not “hatred of Judaism†since his conclusions apply to all non-Christian religions. It seems like the only obsessive hater here is Cathy Young when she attacks Christians who take their religion seriously. Conveniently for her, she ignores all the vile anti-Christian and anti-gentile language in ancient Hebrew scriptures as well.

She then hits Cooper for a for a joke he told on X about Hitler not being in hell:

Well, given that during 1920s and 30s—i.e., peacetime—Lenin, Stalin, and the Bolsheviks were more destructive and murderous than the Nazis were, yet are not demonized nearly as much by our neo-Bolshevik elite, the joke is pretty funny.

Finally, Young takes Cooper to task for claiming that the Nazi occupation of France was preferable to the cultural degeneracy which has taken over much of the West these days, as exemplified by the blasphemous drag-queen display from this past Olympics in Paris.

Yes, mainstream sources claim that the Nazis had rounded up around 75,000 Jews and sent them to their deaths—and I am sorry about that. But that was still far fewer than, say, the 200,000 or so killed by the Soviets, the United States’ ally, back in the early 1930s during the Jewish-led construction of the Belomar Canal. So if Cathy Young is going to use the N-word to describe Darryl Cooper for presenting the German perspective during the Second World War, then one can opine that Young, by boosting the Allied perspective while suppressing the German one, is an anti-white Bolshevik who feels that the tens of millions killed in the Holodomor and Gulag Archipelago deserved to die. (Then again, perhaps I should be careful since if you link Jews to early Soviet atrocities, Cathy Young might call you an anti-Semite.)

What Young doesn’t understand is that the degeneracy exemplified by the Olympics and mass-third-world immigration are threatening to take down all of Western civilization. If you look at history cyclically as Oswald Spengler and others did, this is how civilizations behave before they decline into ruin. What she sees as merely “tacky,†people like Cooper see as an existential insult. Drag queening the Olympics is anti-Christian, and quite possibly anti-white as well. So yeah, maybe things would have been better had France had remained occupied by the Germans. And if so many European Jews hadn’t had such a sick penchant for left-wing radicalism which murdered over 15 million people before the Second World War, maybe the Nazis would have shown them a little more discretion in Vichy France.

What Young, Goldberg and others in the Jewish elite find so offensive about Cooper and Carlson’s conversation is how the pair inherently placed white interests above Jewish ones. Many Jews view this as an existential insult since they quite falsely see themselves as the victims rather than the victors of the Second World War. Of course, we can go back and forth about how exaggerated the Jewish Holocaust was or was not, but ultimately the war boiled down to two super powers led disproportionately by Jews utterly destroying one super power which refused to be led by Jews. That is the western theater of WWII in a nutshell. If a white person today has any sympathy for the losing side, that is tantamount to his not wanting to be led by Jews—which is as blasphemous to Cathy Young as the drag queen display is to Darryl Cooper.

The problem is that Cooper is being reasonable and Young is not. Sexual degeneracy, whether straight or gay, leads to civilizational decline. This has been shown by the research of JD Unwin. So Cooper had good reason to make the comparison he did. On the other hand, all peoples have a right to lead themselves and resist foreign influences. All peoples have a right not to engage in war if it is in their interest not to do so. This is why Cooper and Carlson deserve tremendous credit for asking all the right questions about the Second World War. Was it in our interests to fight it? What did we ultimately get out of it? Here’s Carlson:

So Churchill is this great hero, defender of the West, savior of the West, the toughest man in world history. The only reason we’re not speaking German. And he won the Second World War. Like that’s what you ask anybody, that’s just a fact. And yet if I go to his country, like, regularly . . . it doesn’t really even exist in any recognizable way. It’s totally degraded. I try not to go there because it’s so depressing. It’s just so sad. It’s so broken. It’s not the country of victors. It’s a completely defeated country that’s subsequently been invaded. And so, like, how did that happen? . . . I go to Japan and it’s full of self-respect and order and cleanliness and like it doesn’t look like it lost. It’s like, what is that?

Yes, what is that? It’s what happens when you get bamboozled into contributing to the worst mass carnage in history for somebody else’s benefit and then realize years later that you’ve been had. In fifty years, Western Europe will no longer be majority white, which will fundamentally and permanently change it for the worse—and this is largely the result of the Second World War. All the crime, chaos, and degeneracy we are witnessing today will increase exponentially until everything becomes unrecognizable. Darryl Cooper and Tucker Carlson see this happening and wish to stop it. Cathy Young stands in their way because she doesn’t.

It’s as simple as that.

  1. Despite the fuss and feathers, all Darryl Cooper spoke about on Tucker was what’s already been out in mainstream print from AJP Taylor and Pat Buchanan, at least on WWII stuff.

    This is a great example of how the MSM establishment is fat more worried about Hitler in 2024 than they were in 2008 or 1961

    I am writing to Tucker Carlson for an interview. I am craving for some publicity, like the one Mr Cooper is getting. He must celebrating his rise every night with Schnaps. I will be paying Carlson, not the other way around. The outcome of Cooper’s interview is that, the Jews and their supporters cannot force their distorted fabreicated history on us. Jewish history and alleged “unique” culture are lies. These lies are unconditionally enforced upon us by Jews and their supporters. We must resist to accept Jewish lies.

    There was a Holocaust during and after WWII only it was the Germans who were “holocausted†not Jews.

    Let’s just pretend every lie about the holocaust was true, considering the Jews behind the genocide of millions in the HOLODOMOR, and their declaring war on Germany, plus the book, “Germany Must Perishâ€, are people denying Hitler and Germany the right to defend themselves from suffering the same fate as Ukrainians in 1932-1933.

    Part of the solution to saving the White race is discovering the truths behind WWII, namely:

    1. The jewish “holocaust” is a total fabrication. Sure, people in the camps died, but there was absolutely no plan to exterminate anyone. Knowledge of this is critical to breaking the guilt complex that pervades over European whites who feel guilt and shame over the “holocaust”. The purpose of keeping this lie alive is to keep jews firmly planted on top of the pyramid of victimhood, of which our society has been structured. Without the “holocaust”, jews couldn’t retain the power they do today, and the made up jewish homeland of “Israel” would surely fall. Besides, if people understood just how much death and destruction organized jewery has inflicted onto the world, they wouldn’t feel any sympathy for dead jews anyway. Germany just wanted the parasitical jews out of Germany for good.

    2. Hitler, Goebbels, and et all were trying to get not just Germans, but to an extent, all European Whites to become very race conscious, or what some call today: “race realism”. A people who are fiercely loyal to their own race, (in group preference), understand the differences among the various races, and are connected to their racial ancestors will see their race, culture and civilization exist into the infinite future. This is especially true of Whites today.

    3. There was an attempt by National Socialist Germany to shed Christianity from Europe and the White identity. This may be a very hard pill to swallow, but the Germans during this time recognized and understood that Christianity is not the religion of native European Whites, and that Christianity in fact hinders European Whites more than it helps them. This is primarily due to the fact that Christianity makes Whites race blind, atomizes the White race (for example, they see each other as individuals rather than a collective group as there is no collective salvation in Christianity), but most of all, makes Whites incredibly passive to outsider threats, whether benign or not. The strong, “warrior spirit” of the Pagans was ripped away from Whites during Roman times and contributed towards the fall of the Roman empire. If Italians are to opera and Jews are to revolutions, than Christianity was the first, and most successful of jewish revolutions, which deleted and over wrote the operating system of the White European mind.

    4. European Whites were the greatest victims during WWII. Research the Holodomor, (an actual holocaust and genocide perpetuated on eastern European Whites by the jewish bolsheviks who seized power in Russia), the bombing of Dresdin, the slaughter and starvation of German soldiers after the end of WWII, (the Roosevelt death camps). This was all jewish revenge for daring to try to break free from jewish control. Knowledge of these events in history, (just to name a few), will fill you with a terrible, frightening anger and sadness, all at once. It is truly horrifying, and anyone who fully understands what happened during that time couldn’t help but feel complete and total hatred for the perpetrators: organized jewery. I myself have never known hatred toward a people until I truly knew the jew. Anyway, if Whites so badly want to feel sympathy for people who are cast as victims, than they should feel sympathy for themselves and their ancestors, who have suffered the most under jewish aggression.

    It’s not over for us as Whites, we can win.

    I don’t see how it’s possible to be certain of that, but in any case the author doesn’t really put forth a convincing argument that WWII revisionism is today more important for Whites and the future of their countries and their race than ending the taboo on acknowledging irremediable biological racial differences, and much more importantly taking these differences into consideration as part of good governance, meaning government that operates in the interest of Whites, e.g. when formulating rational policies about whom Whites allow into their nation states.

    But there is rhetorical help available to the author in making his case — it comes from Did Six Million Really Die? by Richard Harwood:

    Discouragement of Nationalism

    In terms of political blackmail, however, the allegation that Six Million Jews died during the Second World War has much more far-reaching implications for the people of Britain and Europe than simply the advantages it has gained for the Jewish nation. And here one comes to the crux of the question: Why the Big Lie? What is its purpose? In the first place, it has been used quite unscrupulously to discourage any form of nationalism. Should the people of Britain or any other European country attempt to assert their patriotism and preserve their national integrity in an age when the very existence of nation-states is threatened, they are immediately branded as “neo-Nazis.†Because, of course, Nazism was nationalism, and we all know what happened then — Six Million Jews were exterminated! So long as the myth is perpetuated, peoples everywhere will remain in bondage to it; the need for international tolerance and understanding will be hammered home by the United Nations until nationhood itself, the very guarantee of freedom, is abolished.

    As an aside, Ernst Zündel reprinted Did Six Million Really Die? and sent a copy to a great many influential Canadians, including every member of the Parliament of Canada — this was the start of his legal troubles.

  11. . . . .while Victor Davis Hanson at least had the decency to stick to the facts,

    Victor Davis Hanson is an over-educated Zionist shill. His best days are behind him, and he should limit his writings to the brown take-over of California; at least he has some expertise in that matter.

    As time goes by, the jews will increasingly have to remind their goyim that they only exist to serve ZOG. In the future, worship of the jews and their very sacred Holocaust will become the official state religion and the population will be forced to attend a weekly mass to confirm their belief, and I am not being sarcastic here, this will literally happen in the future if current trends continue.

  13. Regarding Seth Dillon’s tweet, French people did not seem to mind being occupied by the Germans. Post-war historical propagandists overemphasize French “resistance,” but in reality there was very little. Mostly the “resistance” was made up of faggots who had fled to Britain.

    And it should be obvious that German-occupied Paris was much better than the currently Africanized drag queen Paris.

    This is why conservatives like Dillon are completely worthless. They will always choose drag queens as the “lesser evil” over what would be viewed as “far right” governance.

    American WWII propaganda is so thoroughly mythologized with Hollywood nonsense that even if you just cite mainstream historical books, you could end up being attacked for it. In fact, attempts to merely demythologize the narrative are viewed as being intrinsically anti-semitic and evil.

  15. anonymous[102] •ï¿½Disclaimer says:

    I’ve always been told that the reason why Westerners – Americans particularly – don’t care for the plight of Palestinians is because Palestinians are “brown” and Western white Christians are “racists” who just don’t care about non-whites. Whites, supposedly, reserve their empathy for their fellow white Christians. It’s notable that this is a favourite talking point of the so-called “liberal, anti-Zionist” Jews, according to whom Zionism’s crimes are all ultimately the fault of Christians and “white supremacy.”

    But the attacks on Darryl Cooper suggest that this may not be the true reason why whites show disregard for Palestinians, but that it’s really a consequence of something else: of conditioning, at the hands of the Jewish media cartel, into callousness and contempt towards the Jews’ personal enemies – regardless of the religion or color of skin of the particular enemies in question. This would explain the contempt one regularly receives – as Cooper received – when drawing attention to the war crimes committed against German civilians in WWII.

    While much of the ire directed towards Cooper was for his criticism of Churchill, this was not the only cause. Another major source was for his provocative comments about the subsequent demographic changes that have taken place in Europe – changes which are a direct consequence of the outcome of that war and the “victory” which the Allies supposedly had. The true victors – the Jews – are, I’m sure, particularly unhappy about the calls for Nuremberg-style tribunals for those who have perpetrated these crimes against the native peoples of Europe.

    Amusingly, one particularly histrionic voice has been that of Ben Domenech – Meghan McCain’s wife – who was so incensed by the discussion that he posted a video of Cooper’s words played over footage of the liberation of Auschwitz – footage gleaned from the magnificent award-winning WWII documentary Band of Brothers. Big Ben really showed the mean ignorant historian what was what, didn’t he?

    Cooper noted:

    These people rending their garments don’t care about Churchill – leftists call him a genocidal racist all day, no one cares. They care when you try to humanize the Germans. That’s enough to trigger a 48-hour hate ritual, and degrading repetitions of “In this house, we believe… â€

    Notably, the Germans were white and Christian and white Americans derive more of their heritage from Germany than any other single European country, including Britain. It’s also notable that many Americans descend from nations which were allied with the Nazis, such as Italy, Romania, Austria, Croatia, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Hungary. All of these countries are white and Christian and all suffered varying degrees of criminal retribution at the hands of the Allies – but get little if any attention or empathy from court history.

    Thus: If German civilians get little to no empathy from white Americans – many of them of German extraction themselves – then one must revisit the claim that white Christians reserve their empathy only for their fellow white Christians or that any such empathy-giving is predicated on how closely related they are to the group in question at all. The German civilians who were immolated in Dresden, and the spittle-flecked rage one receives for bringing up this unconscionable war crime, represent a striking counterexample to that claim.

    And what of the millions of Christians who were murdered in Eastern Europe at the hands of Bolshevik Jews – the very crime the Nazis were fighting to ensure would not be repeated in Germany or the rest of Western and Central Europe? Why do these crimes get such short shrift? White Christian ethnocentrism? That doesn’t make sense.

    In truth, contrary to the claim that whites don’t show empathy for out-groups, the opposite is true. Whites have been assiduously trained, over the last century or so, to extend their empathy preferentially to non-whites and non-Christians (as seen, for example, by the West’s cruel disregard for the treatment of Boers in South Africa, and the idolization of Mandela).

    An example can also be found in NATO’s bombing of Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War, where a coalition of white Christian states, lead by the United States, took the side of the Albanian Muslims and then aggressively brought war crimes charges against their fellow white Christians. That doesn’t make sense under the model of white Christians only caring about or siding with other white Christians.

    In any event, in employing the model that “white Christians only care about other whites Christians,” how does it makes sense for white Christians in the U.S. to support the Jewish state of Israel blowing up ancient Christian churches in Palestine? How does it makes sense that they would support Israel in its project of destroying the world’s oldest Christian community who are, in fact, the closest extant relatives of Jesus’s original disciples and, indeed, of Jesus Christ himself? Because Palestinian Christians are “brown”? Really? They are no more brown – indeed, perhaps less – than the average Israeli Jew.

    These examples are truly riddle-wrapped condundrums according to the standard model that white Christian sentiments and behaviors are the product of ethnocentrism, racism and disregard for non-whites and non-Christians.

    And according to narratives of oppressor/oppressed dynamics, where the “white” Jewish state of Israel is the rich, powerful, colonial oppressor and the brown Palestinian Muslims are the oppressed people of color – the kind of people we’ve all been conditioned to support in every other conflict around the world (unless they happen to be a rival of Israel, like Iraq, where, again, a striking lack of concern for civilian life has been shown; see, e.g., Madeleine Albright’s depraved comments about the death of 500,000 Iraqi children) America’s behavior defies explanation and is aberrant with the stance it takes in virtually every other conflict around the world.

    Here’s an alternative model: The axis of empathy for white Westerners isn’t “white” versus “brown” or “Christian” versus “non-Christian” but, in truth, “friends of Jews” versus “enemies of Jews” and “good for Jews” versus “bad for the Jews.”

    This is because Jews control Western media and are thereby able to condition whites into sentiments which reflect those of the Jews and Jewish media masters themselves.

    The white Christians who consume Jew-controlled mass media and are raised on Jew-controlled school curriculum don’t themselves understand their own sentiments and programming, and nor do they understand where their feelings and beliefs come from and whose interests they really serve. Consequently, they are no more capable of articulating them (as I’ve done here) than were the citizens of Oceania in Nineteen Eighty-Four able to articulate why they so hated Emmanuel Goldstein (beyond superficial slogans), or whose interests that hatred really served. They just know that Hitler Goldstein was very bad because Jew Media Big Brother said so. Indeed, they’d be horrified, like Neo awakening from the Matrix, to discover the true origin of their beliefs and sentiments — assuming that they are capable of breaking out of their conditioning long enough to admit such at all.

    The Jews, through their control over mass media, have indoctinated whites into a “false consciousness”: a condition wherein the masses unwittingly adopt the ideology of the ruling class – i.e., the Jewish media owners. They have adopted an, essentially, parasitic Jewish ideology and mythos, where the Jews are always and everywhere the good guys and protagonists (no matter what crimes they commit) and the enemies of the Jews are always and everywhere evil.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_consciousness

    Even more perversely, whites subordinately accept their role in this narrative as the chief bad guys of history as descendants of “white supremacists, slave owners and Nazis”, these being the chief bogeymen and antagonists in the Jews’ own founding myths (which conveniently airbrush out the Jews’ personal enormously outsized role in the slave trade and the murderous communist revolutions (e.g., Bolshevism) for which the Nazis were reaction and defense). In particular, whites have let themselves be written in as the chief baddies in the Grand Founding Myth of our age: WWII and the Holocaust Story.

    That the white man is, consequently, being dispossessed, replaced, subjugated and destroyed in all of his historic homelands throughout the West, where Jewish media power dominates, ought thus not be too surpising. Our foundational narratives virtually demand it.

    One wonders if something similar happened in ancient Rome: if, in an increasingly multicultural Rome, the descendants of the Roman founding stock were demonized and forced to apologize for “historic crimes and privileges” against the nations of the immigrant newcomers. This resulted in a general cultural malaise and a bastardization and adulteration of Roman identity through a continuous infusion of ever more distant foreign tribes and blood. Loss of civic virtue followed wherein neither the old stock nor immigrants newcomers cared to maintain the customs, traditions and Gods on which the Empire was founded. Founding stock Romans – real Romans – were dispossessed from leadership and soon they also stopped volunteering for military service in a nation which they felt didn’t represent them and their interests.

    Is it a coincidence that the Roman empire saw its greatest extent under Trajan – the first emperor born outside of Italy (in Spain) – and as the Empire declined the emperors were drawn from ever more exotic locales? The empire kept growing, for over 500 years, surviving countless assaults and civil wars, all the way up until Trajan – and then it started to shrink. A rather provocative fact. Rome could survive everything – except diversity and multiculturalism. Diversity didn’t make Rome strong; it destroyed it.

  20. Damn. This is what — like the 4th or 5th time Darryll Cooper has come up on the front page of TUR since he’s been on Carlson? I might have to go watch the interview after all. Although I agree it’s important, and I know that WWII is one of Unz’s major interests, and I don’t want to go too hard on this essay because it’s for a good cause, I have a major bone to pick with the following statement:

    I would say reevaluating the Second World War ranks higher in importance than being versed in race realism, the Jewish Question, or white identity, as crucial as all of these things are.

    What’s the problem with Quinn’s take here? Well, he’s got his reasoning upside down here: it’s simply impossible to reevaluate WWII without being versed in the Jewish Question. Hell, it’s impossible to understand the world we’re living in without being versed in the JQ. Get that through your head Quinn! If you don’t grasp the JQ, you’re still living in a Jew-created inverted reality and you have no idea the depths to which the Jews have manipulated your world, your mind and everything around you.

    The Jews actually tell you how they have been manipulating you and what they are planning through revelation of the method and predictive programming, using Hollywood as their major tool to do this. Examples abound, such as The Matrix, They Live, Thirteenth Floor, Dark City, and in each one the Jews are revealing that they consider us a bunch of mindless zombies who can’t see The Nose that’s right in front of them. And what’s worse is that they’re right — most people are just robots programmed to repeat the lies the Jews have shoved into their heads.

    So how are a bunch of mindless automata going to reevaluate WWII? First, they have to snap out of their zombie state and understand that they have been living in a Jew-created inverted reality all their lives. When someone understands that, then the reevaluation of WWII comes in an instant: it becomes shockingly obvious. And then the deeper you go into the JQ rabbit hole, the more you will fully understand the world we’re living in. So invert your statement Quinn, which could be rewritten like this:

    I would say that being versed in the Jewish Question ranks higher in importance than any other question, in order to reevaluate not only the Second World War, but all of world history.

    But it is a very late point in the story of the West’s self-destruction. The West is murdering itself today because it chose to rebel against historic Christianity and Christendom. That guaranteed that those who won such parts of the revolution (the Reformation) would become allied ever more with Jews. And no victors of Reformation revolt became as tied directly too Jews as did Wealthy Anglo-0Saxon Protestants.

    To stop the process, we must revive Christendom. Nothing else will work. In fact, everything else is part of the continuing suicide.

    So Churchill was the ‘bad” guy of WWII according to some white nationalists? UK fighting Germany was just whites killing whites which led to decline of Western civilisation? Better for UK to make peace after fall of France in 1940 and let Germany attack Soviet Union later on?

    You know who thought of that earlier and tried to avoid fighting Germany and just let Hitler go eastwards to attack USSR? Neville Chamberlain. Ya, that guy. That weak pathetic looking guy in the photos with Hitler.

    How come those on the right, those white nationalists don’t defend Neville Chamberlain? He didn’t want to fight Hitler. His whole deal was to let Germany expand eastwards until Hitler satisfied himself with a war against Soviet Union. That was why he did nothing to stop Hitler. That is the REAL reason. Not the drivel you read in mainstream history – all that is rubbish.

    “…the British Conservative government had reached the fantastic idea that they could kill two birds with one stone by setting Germany and Russia against one another in Eastern Europe. In this way they felt that the two enemies would stalemate one another, or that Germany would become satisfied with the oil of Rumania and the wheat of the Ukraine. It never occurred to anyone in a responsible position that Germany and Russia might make common cause, even temporarily, against the West. Even less did it occur to them that Russia might beat Germany and thus open all Central Europe to Bolshevism.

    In order to carry out this plan of allowing Germany to drive eastward against Russia, it was necessary to do three things: (1) to liquidate all the countries standing between Germany and Russia; (2) to prevent France from honoring her alliances with these countries; and (3) to hoodwink the English people into accepting this as a necessary, indeed, the only solution to the international problem. The Chamberlain group were so successful in all three of these things that they came within an ace of succeeding, and failed only because of the obstinacy of the Poles, the unseemly haste of Hitler, and the fact that…

    So you hate Arabs and Palestinians? You know who was the British PM that waged the most savage war against Palestinians pre WWII? That’s right. Our weak looking friend Neville Chamberlain.

    “…The general strike lasted from April to October 1936 and initiated a violent, peasant-led resistance movement in 1937. White and black kufiyahs were worn for the first time as a symbol of steadfastness. The rebellion was brutally suppressed. Over ten percent of the adult male Palestinian Arab population between 20 and 60 was killed, wounded, imprisoned or exiled. The revolt caused the British to give crucial support to pre-state Zionist militias…

    https://www.palestinianhistorytapestry.org/tapestry/0450-kuyffiyeh-1936-arab-revolt/

    From the archives: Britain’s suppression of the arab revolt in Palestine

    “…After September 1937, when the rebellion intensified, the army increasingly took charge in Palestine, with the “full power of search and arrest, independent of the police, and the right to shoot and kill any man attempting to escape search or ignoring challenges.†14

    Thus, starting from late 1937 or early 1938, Palestine was under de facto if not de jure martial law of some sort. Nor was military rule much affected by the international laws in place at the time (e.g., the succession of Geneva Conventions from 1864 to 1929 and the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907) as these dealt mainly with the conduct of war and the treatment of prisoners of war (POWs) rather than with the maltreatment of civilians. Britain had classified the Arab Revolt as an internal insurrection and not an international war…”

    Neville Chamberlain is your guy. Don’t be fooled by those weak photos with Hitler. This guy Chamberlain was ruthless, authoritarian, unilateral, anti Bolshevik to the core, decisive and forceful. He was right up there will Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin. Don’t undersell the guy. Darryl Cooper should be talking more about Chamberlain if he hates Churchill so much. All that talk about him being pacifist, naive about Hitler, trying to “buy time” with appeasement to fight Hitler later on – all of that is complete garbage.

    Cathy Young demonstrates TJB, or what you typically expect–anyone says anything remotely contrary to their agenda, and they spit on you, calling you an antisemite. Tiresome.

    Yet I’ve often wondered how history would have worked out had Germany won? Could Germany have lasted, long term? It was the age of print newspapers and radio, both radically different from the now ubiquitous television and hand-held social media. Whether the Third Reich could have prevented a more subtle Jewish sourced ‘march through their media institutions’, beamed from across borders–that is, kept themselves free from a Jewish inspired Cultural Marxism that took over the remainder of Europe and America.

    I’m not talking about the generation that fought in the war, but speculate about a time after Hitler died (from natural causes). What about Germany’s later TV gen. Kids born after the war. Would they have turned out fat and mind lazy like American ‘boomers’ and their kids? Could Germans have resisted Jewish media influence beamed from France and England? Obviously without the American occupation, they could have fended off much direct Anglo-American-Jewish influence. Certainly the Holohoax lie would never have been promulgated had Germany won. At least to the extent the lie has now become ‘truth’.

    Compare with other Western ‘enemies’. Russia is certainly under attack from the West, and in this I can’t speak to Russian media, because I don’t know much about it. We know that lately the West is sanctioning Russian news sources–trying to shut down an important source of information going up against the ‘rules based order’.

    For its part, China had the foresight to maintain control over their entire media infrastructure, not allowing any Jewish influence. Demanding a level of morality, something unknown within the degenerate Jewish dominated Western media. Of course Western infiltration of Chinese media was difficult from the get-go, due to China’s geographic location along with language difficulties. Both not really an issue in Europe.

    From a strictly cultural standpoint, the key is to keep Jews out of both education and media. Why? Because in ‘education’ Jews understand the power of the lie, coupled with the credulity of an edumacated youth (now heavily women and minority); and in media/entertainment Jews recognize the moral weakness of a white folk who have abandoned discipline for ‘freedom’ (meaning mostly sexual oriented pleasure and gluttony).

  37. This is an especially important discussion to have at this moment when the poisonous legacy of that senseless war imperils us at home as perhaps never before.

    Washington’s cautions in his Farewell Address are well known. Thomas Jefferson, who had spent much time in Europe, also said, “For years we have been looking as spectators on our brethren in Europe, afflicted by all those evils which necessarily follow an abandonment of the moral rules which bind men and nations together. Connected with them in friendship and commerce, we have happily so far kept aloof from their calamitous conflicts, by a steady observance of justice towards all, by much forbearance and multiplied sacrifices… While we regret the miseries in which we see others involved let us bow with gratitude to that kind Providence which, inspiring with wisdom and moderation our late legislative councils while paced under the urgency of the greatest wrongs, guarded us from hastily entering into the sanguinary contest, and left us only to look on and to pity its ravages.â€

    Sadly this wisdom was abandoned in the pursuit of global hegemony, with FDR doing everything he could behind the scenes to provoke a second European war and then involve his country in it. The historian Murray Rothbard succinctly described the far-reaching consequences of his scheming, “Our entry into World War II was the crucial act in foisting a permanent militarization upon the economy and society, in bringing to the country a permanent garrison state, an overweening military-industrial complex, a permanent system of conscription. It was the crucial act in expanding the United States from a republic into an Empire, and in spreading that Empire throughout the world, replacing the sagging British Empire in the process. It was the crucial act in creating a Mixed Economy run by Big Government, a system of State-Monopoly-Capitalism run by the central government in collaboration with Big Business and Big Unionism. It was the crucial act in elevating Presidential power, particularly in foreign affairs, to the role of single most despotic person in the history of the world. And, finally, World War II is the last war-myth left, the myth that the Old Left clings to in pure desperation: the myth that here, at least, was a good war, here was a war in which America was in the right. World War II is the war thrown into our faces by the war-making Establishment, as it tries, in each war that we face, to wrap itself in the mantle of good and righteous World War II.â€

    The jewish “holocaust†is a total fabrication. … Knowledge of this is critical to breaking the guilt complex that pervades over European whites who feel guilt and shame over the “holocaustâ€.

    What the “Holocaust Myth” — The Great Lie — has done to humanity is beyond apprehension and goes much further than creating a guilt complex in European whites. We can’t really fathom what the Lie has done to all of us. With The Great Lie, the Jews — The Great Destroyers — have wrecked the fabric of society itself. The Great Lie has warped our institutions, our culture, and even personal identity: its repercussions warp and distort every aspect of life.

    Think about our kids’ education, for example (even here in Brazil!): they are sent to school to be versed in The Great Lie. The entire educational system has been built around the Lie and there is nothing that escapes it: textbooks, lectures, Holocaust remembrance days, forced Anne Frank readings — all disgusting Jew Deception.

    And what are we supposed to tell our kids? If we tell them the truth and they repeat it in class they will be ostracized by their peers and may be even expelled from school for wrongthink. They will have wasted at least 15 years of their lives and will have to relearn everything once they get out of the Jew-controlled educational system, if they want to learn the truth and not live like a zombie.

    The Lie is part and parcel of our political system: no one who rejects the Lie in public will get anywhere near power. Instead, truth-seekers will get jail time because the Lie is supported by our legislation. “Holocaust Denial” will put you in prison in many countries today, which is so preposterous that it makes you want to vomit. All our politicians must Repeat the Lie, which means all our leaders are our enemies, nothing less. That’s what the Jews have accomplished: they have turned our leaders into our enemies.

    The Great Lie goes much further. Below the more tab I’ll put up a chatbot analysis of some areas which The Great Holocaust Lie has warped, if not wrecked such as: Education, Politics and Governance, Media, Cultural Identity, Social Relationships and Trust, Economic Implications, Psychological and Emotional Health, Religion and Spirituality, Technological Control, Philosophical and Intellectual Stagnation, Historical Narratives, Science and Rationality, Existential and Cosmic Questions, Resistance Movements, Global Implications — just a few to start off with.

    [MORE]
    If a Great Holocaust Lie has been woven into the fabric of society, shaping institutions, culture, and even personal identity, the repercussions would extend deeply into every aspect of life. Here’s a comprehensive list of how such a Holocaust Lie would affect people’s lives:
    1. Education

    Curriculum Distortion: Entire educational systems would be built around the Holocaust Lie, perpetuating it through textbooks, lectures, and academic research. Teachers would unknowingly or willfully reinforce falsehoods, making it difficult for future generations to discern truth.
    Cognitive Dissonance: Critical thinkers or students questioning the Holocaust Lie would experience intense cognitive dissonance. They might face ostracism, lower grades, or be silenced.
    Specialized Knowledge Control: Fields such as history, sociology, and even science would be molded to fit the Holocaust Lie. Intellectual gatekeepers would suppress dissenting research or alternative hypotheses.

    2. Politics and Governance

    Manipulation of Public Opinion: The Holocaust Lie would be used by political elites to control the narrative and maintain power, often through fear or appeals to patriotism, ideology, or identity.
    Legislation Based on Falsehoods: Laws, policies, and public funding would be directed towards sustaining and protecting the Holocaust Lie, regardless of the actual needs of the populace.
    Authoritarian Censorship: Any challenge to the official narrative would be deemed heresy or treason. Censorship, surveillance, and even punishment could be deployed to crush dissent.

    3. Media

    Propaganda Machinery: The Holocaust Lie would be embedded in the media landscape, controlling the flow of information, entertainment, and news. Journalists would either be co-opted or silenced if they dare question it.
    Manufactured Consensus: Talk shows, news panels, and cultural discourse would give the illusion of open debate while reinforcing the core tenets of the Holocaust Lie.
    Distracting Narratives: False crises or distractions would be introduced to divert attention from any revelations or exposures of the Holocaust Lie.

    4. Cultural Identity

    Collective Memory Shaping: The Holocaust Lie would alter how people view their past, heroes, and villains. Monuments, holidays, and rituals would celebrate the Holocaust Lie’s mythology, distorting people’s understanding of their identity.
    Moral and Ethical Frameworks: Societal values would be molded around the Holocaust Lie. Ideas of good and evil, right and wrong, would be artificially constructed to align with it.
    Cultural Resistance Stifled: Authentic subcultures or movements that seek truth would either be co-opted, demonized, or marginalized.

    5. Social Relationships and Trust

    Fractured Interpersonal Trust: People would distrust one another, especially those who question the Holocaust Lie. Family, friendships, and communities could be divided as dissenters are seen as subversive or delusional.
    Conformity Pressure: Peer pressure to adhere to the Holocaust Lie would be immense. Nonconformists would face social ostracism, ridicule, or worse.
    Imposter Syndrome: Individuals who privately suspect or know the truth may suffer from a constant sense of aHolocaust Lienation, feeling as if they are living a double life.

    6. Economic Implications

    Misallocation of Resources: Whole sectors of the economy could be devoted to maintaining the Holocaust Lie, leading to inefficiencies, corruption, and wasted resources.
    Manufactured Scarcity or Booms: The Holocaust Lie could generate artificial scarcities or booms (e.g., through fear-mongering about environmental, economic, or geopolitical crises) to manipulate markets.
    Corporate Complicity: Large corporations would participate in the Holocaust Lie, whether through marketing, funding research, or influencing public discourse, aligning their business models with the perpetuation of the Holocaust Lie.

    7. Psychological and Emotional Health

    Internalized Falsehood: People would internalize the Holocaust Lie as part of their identity, leading to emotional and psychological conflicts if they encounter the truth.
    Crisis of Meaning: Those who eventually awaken to the Holocaust Lie may experience existential despair, realizing that their entire worldview has been constructed on a false foundation.
    Collective Delusion: Mass cognitive dissonance would prevail. Mental health disorders could skyrocket as people grapple with the tension between the official narrative and their own subconscious understanding of reality.

    8. Religion and Spirituality

    Religious Co-option: Religious institutions could become co-opted to support the Holocaust Lie, integrating it into theology, rituals, and dogma.
    False Prophets: Spiritual leaders who align with the Holocaust Lie would flourish, offering salvation or meaning that is built upon deception.
    Spiritual Awakening Suppressed: Genuine spiritual movements that challenge the Holocaust Lie could be demonized or branded as dangerous cults, preventing people from pursuing authentic spiritual growth.

    9. Technological Control

    Surveillance and Data Manipulation: Technology would be employed to monitor dissenters and manipulate information flows, ensuring that the Holocaust Lie remains unchallenged in digital spaces.
    Suppression of Innovation: Technologies or inventions that could expose the Holocaust Lie or undermine its foundation might be suppressed or monopolized by those in power.
    Digital Reality Distortion: Social media and the internet would be curated to ensure that the Holocaust Lie remains dominant, with algorithms designed to promote content that aligns with the Holocaust Lie.

    10. Philosophical and Intellectual Stagnation

    Philosophy of Conformity: Critical thinking and philosophical inquiry would be stifled. Instead of fostering independent thought, academia and intellectual circles would encourage adherence to established dogma.
    Dissent as Madness: Those who attempt to expose or explore alternatives to the Holocaust Lie would be labeled mad, conspiratorial, or fringe, making it difficult to form genuine intellectual movements.
    Intellectual Vacuity: The Holocaust Lie would hollow out genuine intellectual curiosity, as questions that challenge the foundation of the Holocaust Lie would be deemed off-limits or irrelevant.

    11. Historical Narratives

    Falsification of History: The Holocaust Lie would distort history itself, with entire events, movements, or figures being reinterpreted, erased, or manipulated to fit the prevailing false narrative.
    Heroes and Villains Reversed: Historical figures seen as heroes would be based on their role in maintaining the Holocaust Lie, while true heroes who opposed it might be villainized or forgotten.
    Generational Misinformation: Future generations would inherit a skewed sense of their heritage, limiting their ability to understand themselves or the world.

    12. Science and Rationality

    Pseudoscience Acceptance: The Holocaust Lie could give rise to pseudosciences that reinforce the false narrative. Mainstream science would align with the Holocaust Lie, manipulating data or conclusions to support it.
    Scientific Revolution Suppressed: Genuine scientific breakthroughs that undermine the Holocaust Lie might be actively suppressed or dismissed as fringe theories.
    Technocratic Rule: Technocrats could leverage their authority as “experts” to enforce the Holocaust Lie under the guise of scientific objectivity, further entrenching the deception.

    13. Existential and Cosmic Questions

    Limiting Metaphysical Exploration: The Holocaust Lie might limit humanity’s exploration of deeper existential or cosmic truths, keeping people locked into narrow perspectives that serve the Holocaust Lie.
    Reduction of Free Will: The Holocaust Lie would effectively reduce human agency, as people would be manipulated into beHolocaust Lieving they are acting freely when, in reality, their choices are constrained by falsehoods.

    14. Resistance Movements

    Underground Movements: If resistance to the Holocaust Lie exists, it would take on an underground, secretive nature. Such movements would face persecution, censorship, and even violence.
    Sabotage and Subversion: Genuine revolutionaries or reformers would need to use subversive tactics to expose the Holocaust Lie, often at great personal risk.

    15. Global Implications

    Geopolitical Power Structures: The Holocaust Lie would influence global relations, shaping wars, treaties, and alliances based on deception. Countries may align or oppose one another based on adherence to or rejection of the Holocaust Lie.
    International Consensus: The Holocaust Lie could extend globally, influencing international bodies such as the UN, WHO, or IMF to perpetuate policies and narratives based on falsehoods.

    over footage of the liberation of Auschwitz – footage gleaned from the magnificent award-winning WWII documentary Band of Brothers.

    The concentration camp shown in this TV show was apparently Kaufering, which is not even alleged to be a Reinhard “death camp” in official Holocaust propaganda. Even according to mainstream holocaust history, the deaths at this particular camp were said to be from disease, starvation (after logistics had broken down due to allied bombing), and “death marches.” A “death march” is what holocaust propaganda calls camp administrators attempting to move camp inmates to a different location where they wouldn’t die from disease and starvation like the previously mentioned prisoners. Such an evacuation of prisoners belies the narrative of an organized extermination campaign, so these evacuations have been retconned by holocaust propagandists as “death marches,” wherein evil Nazis decided to spend their remaining time at the end of the war, and what little supplies they had left, forcing Jews to march to death just for shits and giggles, out of pure sadism (rather than just shooting them and dumping them in a pit, as one would expect had they wanted to kill all of these prisoners).

Germans believed—correctly—that they were preserving Europe from American and Soviet invading barbarians. Alas, they lost and we see the results today of their having been overrun.

    It’s hard to break indoctrination conditioning that began as a toddler. The young child’s super ego is his parents. Later, for many people, it is “God” or some equivalent. Our people have a Jewish god in their heads, which had served the Jews extraordinarily well. But that’s not all. There’s also the conditioned fear of everlasting torture by fire if you mentally digress from the narrative. Many not only have an ever present Jewish god inserted in their minds, they also have “the Devil” placed there. This is enough to drive people insane. They certainly cannot think rationally with all of these artificial conflicts (and irrational ideologies) consuming their thought processes.

    The cumulative effects of this and other evident Jewish mind control have brought us to the brink of extinction.

    To me it was fascinating listening to EMJ say that since he is a product of Irish miscegenation with a German, that therefor Owens and her mulatto children should be accepted as “Americans” without reservation. This is a very American viewpoint.

    Gemma, an Irish patriot who has a fundamental understanding of how “Europe” is actually a patchwork of ethnicities that need to be protected from Kalergi style attacks on their blood line.

    Meanwhile EMJ argues that the Catholic Church in universalist (aka globalist, LOL) and must accept all races and ethnic groups with open arms.

    A good summary, except that #3 is fraught with difficulties, as the anti-Christian and pro-pagan bent of the Nazis was a critical error on their part. European and White culture is inherently tied to the Christian worldview, and trying to eradicate it from the West is tantamount to eradicating the West itself. Hitler should have framed the Nazi position as pro-Christian, and could have offered it as an obvious counterpoint to the jewish Bolsheviks, and a more subtle counterpoint to the jewish American capitalists/deists – although arguing the latter is more difficult as many falsely believe that America has always been a Christian nation. Hitler recognized that the West was in freefall, and he passionately wished to save it, but he erred in embracing paganism.

    So why did Chamberlain extend unilateral security guarantees to Poland without demanding as a precondition some type of agreement with Germany over the Danzig?

    If I may be allowed to take a stab at answering my own question: it’s because, ultimately, Chamberlain was controlled by the (((same people))) who controlled Churchill — and they wanted a war with Germany. Lib/Lab/Con is just the British version of our own Zionist Uniparty.

    So Hitler appealed to England to help solve these issues. They gave him the roundabout, pretending to offer assistance, while telling the Poles to remain stiff behind his back.

    So why did Chamberlain extend unilateral security guarantees to Poland without demanding as a precondition some type of agreement with Germany over the Danzig?

    The answer to your question can be found below, read the entire source. Everything is there. All questions are answered. Nothing is left out.

    “…The difference rested on the fact that the Chamberlain group hoped to permit Britain to escape from the necessity of fighting Germany by getting Russia to fight Germany. The Chamberlain group did not share the Milner Group’s naive belief in the possibility of three great power blocs standing side by side in peace. Lacking that belief, they preferred a German-Russian war to a British-German war. And, having that preference, they differed from the Milner Group in their willingness to accept the partition of Poland by Germany. The Milner Group would have yielded parts of Poland to Germany if done by fair negotiation. The Chamberlain group was quite prepared to liquidate Poland entirely, if it could be presented to the British people in terms which they would accept without demanding war.

    …The unilateral guarantee to Poland given by Chamberlain on 31 March 1939 was also a reflection of what he believed the voters wanted. He had no intention of ever fulfilling the guarantee if it could possibly be evaded and, for this reason, refused the Polish requests for a small rearmament loan and to open immediate staff discussions to implement the guarantee. The Milner Group, less susceptible to public opinion, did not want the guarantee to Poland at all. As a result, the guarantee was worded to cover Polish “independence†and not her “territorial integrity.†This was interpreted by the leading article of The Times for 1 April to leave the way open to territorial revision without revoking the guarantee. This interpretation was accepted by Chamberlain in Commons on 3 April. Apparently the government believed that it was making no real commitment because, if war broke out in eastern Europe, British public opinion would force the government to declare war on Germany, no matter what the government itself wanted, and regardless whether the guarantee existed or not. On the other hand, a guarantee to Poland might deter Hitler from precipitating a war and give the government time to persuade the Polish government to yield the Corridor to Germany. If the Poles could not be persuaded, or if Germany marched, the fat was in the fire anyway; if the Poles could be persuaded to yield, the guarantee was so worded that Britain could not act under it to prevent such yielding. This was to block any possibility that British public opinion might refuse to accept a Polish Munich. That this line of thought was not far distant from British government circles is indicated by a Reuters news dispatch released on the same day that Chamberlain gave the guarantee to Poland. This dispatch indicated that, under cover of the guarantee, Britian would put pressure on Poland to make substantial concessions to Hitler through negotiations. According to Hugh Dalton, Labour M.P., speaking in Commons on 3 April, this dispatch was inspired by the government and was issued through either the Foreign Office, Sir Horace Wilson, John Simon, or Samuel Hoare. Three of these four were of the Milner Group, the fourth being the personal agent of Chamberlain. Dalton’s charge was not denied by any government spokesman, Hoare contenting himself with a request to Dalton “to justify that statement.†Another M.P. of Churchill’s group suggested that Geoffrey Dawson was the source, but Dalton rejected this…”

    On the afternoon of March 31, Chamberlain read a statement in the House of Commons. He first said, at great length, that the British government believed every dispute could be negotiated. In the meanwhile, if Polish independence were threatened and Poland resisted with all her forces, Britain would do all in her power to help Poland, and France would do likewise.

    However, this was not the end of appeasement. The British guarantee of Polish independence was meant to deter Hitler from further aggression and persuade him to obtain what he wanted from Poland by negotiation. On April 1, (All Fools’ Day),Geoffrey Dawson (1874-1944), the editor of the London Times, published an editorial saying the guarantee did not apply to Polish frontiers, but to Polish independence. In his diary, he noted that Halifax and Chamberlain agreed “this was about right.”

    If you search for the terms “East” or “Eastwards” in the below sources, you will find tons of quotes from British conservatives saying to just let Hitler “go east” and destroy Soviet Union. Hitler must not be opposed in his march eastwards. This policy was executed under Neville Chamberlain from 1937 onwards. It wasn’t really his personal policy. It was the policy of the anti Bolshevik section of the British conservative party and elite.

    That’s actually kind of a myth. Hitler never really embraced paganism. Some of his followers — such as Heinrich Himmler — did, but Hitler himself did not. Of course, he also kept the established churches in Germany at arm’s length; but he never tried to forbid them. As long as they stayed clear of politics, he was content to leave them alone.

    By the way, at least one of Hitler’s main, early followers, Alfred Rosenberg, wrote a book on the subject of Christianity, called The Myth of the Twentieth Century, where he tried to rehabilitate the religion by delinking it from Jehova and the Jews. His was more of a Gnostic/Marcionite take on Jesus’ theology. Officially, Hitler declined to endorse the book (aware of the controversy it would cause among the German churches), but he was also happy to let Rosenberg publish it, so make of that what you will.

It opened with extensive ‘readings’ from the execrable Timothy Snyder and two other sources that purported to describe in gory detail how Germans killed Jews.

    It left me with the impression that Cooper was trying his darnedest to play on raw emotion to re-ingratiate himself with the same entity that he had rationally criticized the day before. Like a shoplifter caught with the goods and trying to undo the crime by sneaking back the half-eaten candy bar, Cooper tried to put the holocaust back in the Golden Monstrance of the Religion of the 21st Century.

    While nibbling at the margins of the Sacred Narrative, for example, by de-throning Churchill, is a good start (anonymous @ #6. approached the situation from a larger perspective, even broader than my own), it’s not enough to introduce this or that contradiction of an element or two of the accepted false narrative. The framework, the blueprint of the dogmatized version has to be erased from mind, rejected as a starting point; truly ‘invert the narrative:’ zionists started the wars in pursuit of the agenda of zionism, just as surely as neocons/zionists/Israel-firsters schemed 9/11 in pursuit of the zionist agenda.

You can always quibble over whether Chamberlain or Churchill was the worse of the two, similar to the way that (some) contemporary people fret over whether Lib, Lab or Con wins the next election, or over whether the Ds or the Rs are the ‘lesser of the two evils,’ but none of that will ever change the central fact that the Anglo-Saxon countries are fully under the control of a hostile force that ultimately seeks the destruction of the White race. The bottom line is that the war could have been avoided entirely if London (and Washington?) had never intervened at all.

    The Hitler defenders have a hard time with Poland.

    They like to view him as a liberator…..unless you are Polish…..or Slavic……or a Christian minority……or a democrat……or a union leader…..and the list goes on.

    One of the first things the Nazis did was execute thousands of Polish intellectuals which included priests:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligenzaktion

    They had drawn up that list in the 1930s.

    The Nazis wanted to erase Poland and enslave the population.

    They had already started kidnapping Germanic looking children to give to German families.

    I’ve had to source that a few times for Hitler defenders because they didn’t want to believe it was true. I guess they assumed he drew a moral line at kidnapping children.

    Hitler could have attacked the USSR without going through Poland. His demand of a Danzig corridor was a load of bullshit given that his last offer was made after he had secretly agreed to split the country with a Communist dictator.

    Some liberator. Watch me kill Poles and hand half the country to the USSR.

    Actually, the Ukrainians were suffering from 1919 when Germany, Austria and Hungary were partitioned and large chunks handed to the Bolsheviks during the ongoing Russian civil war. Thousands joined the White Russians to fight the Reds until the end in 1922, when pogroms against those unable to escape West began. Part of that was, what Putin refers to as Lenin’s mistake – adding Russian territories to the new Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.

    Hitler could have attacked East to begin and made Ukraine a member state of the German empire. He would simultaneously have the best German units while depriving the USSR of their Ukrainian units.

    That would have easily destroyed the USSR.

    The British conservatives in fact wanted him to attack the USSR. The same was true for his generals. They wanted a slow expansion East that would culminate in a final battle against Communism.

    But Mr. Mustache wanted revenge over WW1. Having a massive German empire wasn’t enough. He wanted to turn Poland into farmland and enslave the inhabitants. He didn’t at all care that Poland was led by an anti-Communist. Well we now have to live with the curse of his greed and pettiness.

    Part of that was, what Putin refers to as Lenin’s mistake – adding Russian territories to the new Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.

    Putin speaks of Russia as if it existed then. It may be an interchangeable term in some contexts but technically the Russian Empire ended in 1917. The so-called Soviet Republics were administrative units. They had no ability to govern themselves and of course they could not leave.

Would it have been okay for the Brits to have invaded Norway, which they tried unsuccessfully?
    The Germans got involved in the Balkans to bail out Italy. Hitler begged Mussolini not to go there, as it would give the Soviets an excuse to get involved. AJP Taylor noted in his The Origins of the Second World War that the war spread because of Allied provocations.

    We hear how the Germans were brilliant and technologically advanced in World War II, yet they couldn’t figure out how to kill all the Jews they arrested, resulting in millions of holocaust survivors. Stalin was smarter and knew that shooting people kills them. The point of my sarcasm is that logic proves the Jews were placed in labor camps like other troublesome minorities, political opponents, terrorists, and POWs, they were not “death camps” with hospitals and rec facilities. The guards at these labor camps had plenty of bullets to kill everyone before Allied troops arrived, but they just opened the gates and fled.

    Hitler hoped for an alliance with Poland to fight the Soviets. But Poland was ruled by an arrogant dictator who bullied Lithuania to cede one-third its territory and grabbed a chunk of Czechoslovakia.
    Then he foolishly allied with the French and British who did nothing to help defend Poland and later gave it to the Soviets because Churchill and Roosevelt wanted to destroy Germany rather than seek a surrender in early 1944 that would have saved Poland and eastern Europe.

    If German civilians get little to no empathy from white Americans – many of them of German extraction themselves… The German civilians who were immolated in Dresden, and the spittle-flecked rage one receives for bringing up this unconscionable war crime, represent a striking counterexample to that claim.

    Thanks for the comment — many things to reflect upon. I would add this: German civilians get little to no empathy from… German civilians! Yes, it seems absurd, but the Germans themselves have little to no empathy for their own brethren who were slaughtered during the war by the likes of Jew-controlled Churchill or outright Jew Roosevelt. That’s how far the “false consciousness” goes.

    I have seen this — felt this — first-hand on several occasions. Once, it happened when I was having dinner with a German couple who had lived in my country, Brazil, for many years. When the conversation veered into sensitive territory, the German per-emptively struck, talking about the horrors his own people inflicted on the Jews during the war.

    After this self-immolation had gone on for a while, I couldn’t take it any longer and I asked him about Dresden. Well, the conversation went sour after that: it was as if I had planted a smoke bomb (or worse) at the dinner party. Here I am, a Brazilian with no skin in the game, I have to step in to present the case of slaughtered Germans to a German — and he basically doesn’t want to hear about it! Needless to say, I wasn’t invited to dine with them ever again.

    This wasn’t the only case. I just recently had a German friend as a house guest for over a month here in Brazil, one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever met, and so I had time to chat with him for many many hours. I presented the German case again. I made him read a few Unz articles. Each time, he was really uncomfortable with what I had to say and wanted to change the conversation. And once he burst out: “but I have been to Dachau! I’ve seen it with my own eyes!” There was no way to make him budge: he still firmly believes in the villainy of his own people.

    What we are dealing with is Jew mind control tactics that run so deep, are so widespread, so all-consuming, that it will take decades of complete de-programming to remove the existential guilt Germans still feel about the “Holocaust”: one of the most evil hoaxes — a real, devilish, multi-generational curse — ever perpetrated not only on the Germans, but also on the collective consciousness of all of humanity.

    One of the few things that Hitler did right was make his own decisions on the German economy. He didn’t listen to the conservatives of his time and their predictable submission to corporate interests over public good.

    Germany would most likely be the world leading economy if Hitler stayed off meth and did not go on his Eastern European holiday .

    The 1930s German economic miracle is a taboo for both sides. Liberals of course don’t want to give the Nazis credit for anything and our modern right doesn’t want to talk about how Hitler made massive public investments to turn their economy around. Hitler also ignored what should be described as pseudo-religious conservative beliefs on currency policy. Our modern right seems to view the market economy as ruled by gods that cannot be questioned. They seem to forget that the entire thing is man made and was not handed down by Moses.

    So I’m not sure what you mean by card caring socialists. National Socialism was in many ways a trick play against socialism. It doesn’t submit the country to international socialists or at the time the Communists. Our doofus conservatives still haven’t figured that out. They still believe that a bit the o’l good time religion and government minimalism will fix any country. Admitting that public investment can work in the best interest of the country is a nightmare to them. They’d rather sell out to foreign interests.

    Anyone with an open mind who watches the Hitler lies and fabrications on that channel can easily see that it is all BS, especially when the so-called “holocaust™†propaganda is inserted into just about all of these programming “gemsâ€. The same old photos of emaciated typhus victim bodies due to the result of the camps infrastructure collapses, NOT “gas chambers†are constantly being paraded around to remind “us†how evil Hitler truly was. (Yeah, right). In fact, Hollywood movie producers were dispatched to Europe in order to “document†and preserve the propaganda (lies and fabrications) of that greatest jewish grift—the so-called jewish “holocaustâ€.
    Germany was much more advanced than even the USA of the time, hence “Operation Paperclip†commenced in which the USA snatched up Germany’s greatest scientific minds after the summation of WW2.
    Looking at the big picture (which is usually ignored), the “German state†was attacked by the rest of the world, and held on to its principles for over 6 years, far longer than expected.
    Hitler’s greatest “sin†was the monetization of labor (giving labor true “valueâ€) and going against the Rothschild banks. Going against the jew-run banks made him “enemy #1â€. In fact, Germany’s recovery from the Great Depression and the excesses of the Wiemar Republic was much quicker than that of the western countries and the USA. In fact, it took a World War for the USA to recover from the Great Depression.
    He also KNEW that there was a subset of Bolshevik jews who were fomenting communist revolution within Germany. Most people are unaware of the secret agreements that he had with the zionists to “encourage†jewish emigration to what was then known as Palestine. These agreements were celebrated by both the German government and the zionist leaders at the time. A commemorative coin was even issued to celebrate the agreement. THAT aspect of history is never mentioned on the “American Hitler Channelâ€.
    When it comes to WW2, Germany, and even the Allies, the “American History Channel†is 99% propaganda and 1% truth.
    If those of “the greatest generation†could see the jew-run world of today and what it has become, being jew-controlled, they would have thrown off their American uniforms and fought on the side of the Germans…
    Observe the present genocide in Gaza and the West Bank. That’s what (((they))) plan for all of us (gentiles).

    I’ve read minor references how the Reformation … led to the growth of the power of global Jewry. Any suggestions to books that focus on the subject in more detail?

    The leader of the Reformation was a fellow named Martin Luther. If you want the truth, you may want to read what Luther had to say about the jews

    https://www.colchestercollection.com/titles/O/on-the-jews.html

    “Former Catholic priest and professor of Theology, Martin Luther is largely credited with intitiating the Protestant Reformation … What he is less known for is his fiery, yet erudite, commination of Jewish influence on Western Civilization and their arrogance in deliberately maintaining a separate identity from their Christian neighbors and the harm caused to the Christian community.”

    That would be me saying it. I am the only person here on UNZ saying this.

    AJP Taylor is an English historian. British historians as a rule are completely worthless in telling the origins of WWII. You see, the British people see themselves as “good” guys in WWII. If you bluntly come out and say that Chamberlain was trying to drive Hitler eastwards in order to destroy USSR, trying to instigate a German-Soviet war so as to let the two destroy each other in a war of mutual annihilation, it wouldn’t seem like the British are the “good” guys no more. You see? There are a lot of British people that read this site, but not one has ever shown any sort of support for my posts on WWII. They just try to avoid it altogether. They won’t try to argue against it either since it is the truth and they will lose. David Irving himself makes no mention of this thesis at all in his books.

    Only non British people can tell the truth on origins of WWII. If you pick up a book or article discussing origins of WWII and it is written by British person, 99% it will be utterly worthless.

    The English government by 30’s had no particular trouble with USSR and remarkably USSR, save for the Spanish War, was rather non-interfering in the West.

    Not true. Many british conservatives saw the threat of Bolshevism gaining power in mid 1930s. Soviet Union had signed security treaties with France and Czech in 1935 and communist backed popular fronts regimes were elected in France and Spain in 1936. A certain section of the conservatives were worried about it. They saw letting Hitler go eastwards as the solution.

    …Churchill was not even apparently unwilling to rule out that Nazi Germany might have to be utilised as a counter against ‘such a Russia’. For on 4 August 1936 he was sent a private letter by an intimate friend General Sir Hugh Tudor, who argued as follows:

    The situation in Europe certainly seems to be getting worse. Spain is a new complication. If the rebels win the Fascist group will be strengthened in Europe, and Spain may line up with Italy an Germany.

    If the red Government wins Bolshevism will come very near us. With Spain Bolshie, France half Bolshie, and Russia subsidising our communists are we going to line up with them and Russia?

    I know how important even vital our friendship with France is, but I feel many in England would rather make a strong western pact with Germany and France and let Germany settle Russia and Bolshevism in her own way. No doubt Germany would eventually be stronger after defeating Russia but in the meantime we and France would have time to get our defences right; and it would take years before Germany would be in a position to make war again, nor do I suppose she would want to having got a satisfactory expansion. Even Germany cannot like war. Russia deserves what is coming to her, as she will never stop undermining capitalistic governments in every way she can. If she is left alone, in 1o years or so she will be the strongest power on earth and she may want to take in India and may be a more dangerous enemy than Germany.’

    Churchill’s remarkable reply read:

    I have, as you divine, been much perturbed in my thoughts by the Spanish explosion. I feel acutely the weight of what you say … I am sure it represents the strong and growing section of Conservative opinion, and events seem to be driving us in that direction.

As for Poland, previously German territories, like Upper Silesia, were ceded to Poland and when Poland invaded Czechoslovakia (Cieszyn Silesia) the Munich Agreement acknowledged that, along with Hungary’s invasion of Ruthenia.
    If “Mr. Mustache” had wanted to claim all of Poland, why would he propose a referendum for West Prussia with guarantees for Polish access to the Baltic if Germany won the referendum?
    Are the documented atrocities in West Prussia, re-started by Rydz-Smigly, sent by Germany to the League of Nations, false? Are you saying the documents released by the Germans on capturing Warsaw, confirmed by the Polish and American Ambassadors as being true, are false?
    Learn to separate issues. National Socialism was a German solution for perceived German problems, and not for export. It had flaws, just like every other political/economic theory.

    Might this giggly-kid act have a self-protective component? Whether it does or doesn’t, the fact remains that Carlson is a fifty-five-year-old man. Surely it’s time for him to stop basing his public persona so heavily on adolescent charm.

    And as for Suvorov, the man could get away with his take on the start of WW2 because the West was ignorant of the USSR as it’s ignorant of Putin’s Russia, the prism the Russians deploy looking at the world differs fundamentally from that the West prefers, the war in Ukraine is a good example of it, the Russians will not only go hungry but die for Mother Russia, for them the ideal of a Russia the great trumps everything else, instead of reading books you quote in your pieces you should read Laurens Van der Post’s Journey into Russia, he gets close to figuring what it is that makes the Russians Russians.

    You write: “…could you say why would FDR want to battle Hitler’s Germany, it will be for the benefit of those that will not read your book, thanks.”

    My response: A major reason is that President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) was surrounded by numerous Jewish advisors. Jewish historian Lucy Dawidowicz wrote, “Roosevelt himself brought into his immediate circle more Jews than any other president before or after him.†Consequently, FDR was surrounded by a milieu of Jewish hate and hostility toward Germany. FDR was determined to destroy Germany because his Jewish advisors were determined to destroy Germany. (Source: Bradberry, Benton L., The Myth of German Villainy, Bloomington, IN: AuthorHouse, 2012, pp. 321, 339-340).

    “A hidden power, able to keep under its control a country of 150 million people, governing from key positions from its brain trust and from behind the presidential chair, is a terrible thing to contemplate. But Roosevelt required the help of this far-reaching and omnipotent power in order to involve America in the Second World War.” (Source: Ibid., p. 97).

    I think you’re being very foolish and don’t seem to understand how history is studied.

    (1) During 1937 America suffered a new economic collapse, putting FDR into a desperate political situation given that all of his policies had failed.

    (2) John T. Flynn was one of America’s most influential progressive columnists and in very early 1938 a top FDR advisor told him they’d decided that the best means of solving the country’s economic problems was through the “military Keynsianism” of getting America into a major war. Flynn published that story in his TNR column.

    (3) Later memoirs and confidential documents revealed that FDR ordered his diplomats to exert enormous pressure upon both the British and Polish governments to avoid any negotiated settlement with Germany, thereby leading to the outbreak of WWII in 1939.

    (4) The major efforts of the American government to ensure that the war against Germany broke out were confirmed in the private statements of the British and Polish ambassadors to Washington as well as the American ambassador to London, who passed along the concurring opinion of Prime Minister Chamberlain himself. All of this was further confirmed by the secret Polish diplomatic documents captured and published by the Germans in 1939, whose authenticity was later confirmed.

    (5) However, the American people and Congress were totally opposed to any such new war and FDR told his aides that he would be impeached if his actions became publicly known. That obviously explains why there’s no official written FDR memo in which he tells everyone “Let’s start a war against Germany!”

    (7) Overall, the volume of solid evidence in favor of FDR’s role in orchestrating the war is absolutely overwhelming, far more than you’d ever find in almost any comparable historical situation. That you don’t seem to consider it as such suggests that you’re just some activist-type with a very poor grasp of the process of historiography.

    (8) This is further confirmed by your casual dismissal of the Suvorov Hypothesis. It’s obviously not nearly as solid as the FDR case, but still very strong. My strong suspicion is that you’re just some sort of Russian-activist type, who refuses to accept anything that challenges your personal ideological beliefs.

    You write: “The Suvorov hypothesis falls also because had it been true Hitler would have mentioned it, he never did, it’s surprising given the Abwehr’s capabilities and reach that something of this importance and magnitude escaped the German military-intelligence service.”

    My response: Actually, Hitler did mention that his invasion of the Soviet Union was for preemptive purposes.

    Adolf Hitler’s speech on Dec. 11, 1941, declared war on the United States. This speech provides important corroborating evidence why Hitler attacked the Soviet Union. Hitler stated in this speech:

    When I became aware of the possibility of a threat to the east of the Reich in 1940 through reports from the British House of Commons and by observations of Soviet Russian troop movements on our frontiers, I immediately ordered the formation of many new armored, motorized and infantry divisions. The human and material resources for them were abundantly available….

    We realized very clearly that under no circumstances could we allow the enemy the opportunity to strike first into our heart. Nevertheless, the decision in this case was a very difficult one. When the writers for the democratic newspapers now declare that I would have thought twice before attacking if I had known the strength of the Bolshevik adversaries, they show that they do not understand either the situation or me.

    I have not sought war. To the contrary, I have done everything to avoid conflict. But I would forget my duty and my conscience if I were to do nothing in spite of the realization that a conflict had become unavoidable. Because I regarded Soviet Russia as a danger not only for the German Reich but for all of Europe, I decided, if possible, to give the order myself to attack a few days before the outbreak of this conflict.

    A truly impressive amount of authentic material is now available which confirms that a Soviet Russian attack was intended. We are also sure about when this attack was to take place. In view of this danger, the extent of which we are perhaps only now truly aware, I can only thank the Lord God that He enlightened me in time and has given me the strength to do what must be done. Millions of German soldiers may thank Him for their lives, and all of Europe for its existence.

    I may say this today: If this wave of more than 20,000 tanks, hundreds of divisions, tens of thousands of artillery pieces, along with more than 10,000 airplanes, had not been kept from being set into motion against the Reich, Europe would have been lost.

    Several nations have been destined to prevent or parry this blow through the sacrifice of their blood. If Finland had not immediately decided, for the second time, to take up weapons, then the comfortable bourgeois life of the other Nordic countries would have been quickly ended.

    If the German Reich, with its soldiers and weapons, had not stood against this opponent, a storm would have burned over Europe which would have eliminated once and for all time the laughable British idea of the European balance of power in all its intellectual paucity and traditional stupidity.

    If the Slovaks, Hungarians and Romanians had not also acted to defend this European world, then the Bolshevik hordes would have poured over the Danube countries as did once the swarms of Attila’s Huns, and [Soviet] Tatars and Mongols would [then] force a revision of the Treaty of Montreux on the open country by the Ionian Sea.

    If Italy, Spain and Croatia had not sent their divisions, then a European defense front would not have arisen which proclaims the concept of a new Europe and thereby effectively inspires all other nations as well. Because of this awareness of danger, volunteers have come from northern and western Europe: Norwegians, Danes, Dutch, Flemish, Belgians and even French. They have all given the struggle of the allied forces of the Axis the character of a European crusade, in the truest sense of the word. (Source: Weber, Mark, “The Reichstag Speech of 11 December 1941: Hitler’s Declaration of War Against the United States,†The Journal of Historical Review, Vol. 8, No. 4, Winter 1988-1989, pp. 395-396).

    Hitler’s speech confirms Suvorov’s thesis that the German invasion of the Soviet Union was for preemptive purposes. Hitler’s attack was not for Lebensraum or any other malicious reason.

    I never suggested that you were a Communist, but that you might be a Russian nationalist, and it sounds like I was probably correct.

    Well, as I said in my quoted passage, FDR originally planned to revive the US economy with a war against Japan. But after those large 1938 anti-Jewish riots in Germany, international Jewish hostility towards that country became enormous. Since Jewish groups were so influential, that apparently shifted FDR’s plans towards orchestrating a war against Germany instead.

    FDR had every intention to clobber Japan is not new, but that he also wanted a war with Germany is new to Baron who isn’t an activist of any sort but merely a seeker of the truth…

    Well, sure. The historical evidence is absolutely overwhelming and much of it was soon published and discussed by some of America’s leading journalists and academics. But they had all been purged from the media, so none of it ever got into the mainstream history books, and that’s the reason you never heard about any of it.

    the GDP dipped in 1938 but recovered to the 1937 level the next year and kept on growing from then on, later in the 40s at accelerated rate, indeed thanks to the war

    Well, of course, that’s exactly what I said. The lead-up to the world war in 1939 and its outbreak that year successfully revived the American economy just like FDR and his advisors had hoped and expected.

    The Suvorov hypothesis falls also because had it been true Hitler would have mentioned it, he never did

    Actually, I think he did. From what I remember, in his public speeches, he claimed that Germany had attacked the USSR to forestall a huge Soviet invasion, and that was the German propaganda line that was widely presented. But all the Western media ridiculed those claims as ridiculous, obvious lies, so they never got much attention in our histories. Therefore, you never were aware of them.

    I’m certainly not claiming that what Hitler said was necessarily true or proves anything. But I do think that’s what he said at the time.

  170. One of the problems with Vladimir Rezun’s book, Chief Culprit, is that it’s not guaranteed that the quotes he uses actually corroborate with a source.

    For example, this is how he quotes Hitler in a letter sent to Mussolini on June 21, 1941:

    On June 21, 1941, Hitler wrote a letter to Mussolini: “Russia is trying to destroy the Romanian oil fields. . . . The task for our armies is eliminating this threat as soon as possible.†(p. 159)

    Source: Suvorov, V. (2013). The Chief Culprit: Stalin’s Grand Design to Start World War II. United States: Naval Institute Press.
    ——————

    This is how official translations of that same letter appear:

    It is conceivable that Russia will try to destroy the Rumanian oil region. We have built up a defense that will—or so I think—prevent the worst. Moreover, it is the duty of our armies to eliminate this threat as rapidly as possible.

    Source: Nazi-Soviet Relations, 1939-1941: Documents from the Archives of the German Foreign Office. (1948). United States: Department of State.
    ——————

    Which one do you think is correct? In this case, I’m inclined to believe the official translation and not Mr. Rezun.

    On another occasion, he uses a quote which I am unable to find in the listed source:

    He [Hitler] also said, on June 22, 1942: “Back home in Russia, they created an extremely powerful military industry . . . and the more we find out what goes on in Russia, the more we rejoice that we delivered the decisive blow in time. The Red Army’s weaponry is the best proof that they succeeded in reaching extremely high achievements.†(p. 145)

    Source: Suvorov, V. (2013). The Chief Culprit: Stalin’s Grand Design to Start World War II. United States: Naval Institute Press.
    ——————

    This is the listed source: Piker, Hitler’s Table Talks, 205.

    I think he used the Russian version and I wonder if there was some funny business going on with the publisher or translator. I actually searched in an English version and a machine translated German version of the Table Talk and that quote did not come up. So, I don’t know if it’s real or not.

    It is interesting that he quotes Hitler’s Table Talk almost ten times in Chief Culprit. That’s the source he uses for most of his Hitler quotes. We must infer then that Vladimir Rezun believes the Table Talk is an accurate representation of Hitler’s thinking. But anyone who has read that book knows that Hitler makes numerous references to the planned colonization of Russia, which is at odds with Rezun’s claim.

    My response: Hitler is saying here that if Germany and its Allies had not attacked the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, then the Soviet Union would have conquered all of Europe.

    The British had traditionally wanted a balance of power in Europe so that no one country would dominate and control the European continent. Hitler is saying here that this British desire for balance of power in Europe was stupid, because there would have been no balance of power in Europe if the Soviet Union had been allowed to invade and conquer the European continent.

    That will not do, John, you may have missed Baron saying the Hitler was a pathological liar, the speech you quote is full of such lies, almost all of his speeches contained the same, that he wanted nothing but peace, that the Bolshevik Russia was a threat to the world, that all nations should unite against the Georgian thug, that the Red Army is poised to attack the West, that every peace loving man or a woman should join the Reich in its efforts to counter it …

    What Baron has asked, will continue asking, is a document from any of the upper layers of the German military, any branch will do that shows how the officers were preparing for the invasion of the Red Army, what and where were the fortifications to stop the invader, something concrete to back Hitler’s rants you quote in his speech above.

    Sadly for you and those that swallowed the Suvorov’s plant there was very little of any bunkers, trenches, fortifications in the Reich in 1941, in fact there was nothing to suggest the Wehrmacht was ready for an invasion, everything too suggest it was more than ready to go on the offensive.

    It was not until Kursk that a serious effort was made to begin building structures and trenches even hundreds of miles from the front to the West, you may not believe it, Baron was born and lived in a region where the locals had to dig, but the same applies to Germany, search for a bunker near an autobahn in 1941 -42, nothing, not even a plan to build one, it only changed in 1943.

    Hitler lied, lied and lied and one of such lies was his saying Barbarossa was a pre-emptive strike, it wasn’t, it was a well designed offensive move, there was never any danger of the Red Army moving West. Having said that Baron accepts that the Red Army military command may have and probably considered it as one of the options, but the probability of it being approved by the Georgian thug was close to zero.

    Thank you, Mr. Unz, Baron will certainly read the suggested piece, and sorry, he ain’t Russian.

    Still, you should not waste your time on him, but you may like to see Baron’s reply to John Wear above, it was not Hitler’s speeches talking about the threat of the Red Army conquering Europe (just as today the MSM fruitcakes are yapping about Putin trying to do the same), it was his offering it seriously to the leaders trying to stop his conquers (say) to Neville, but more so it was the absence of any preparations by Wehrmacht for the possible invasion by the Red Army.

    There were no bunkers, no air raid shelters no nothing built in the Reich before 1943. One would have thought that if the threat of the Red Army invading the West was real, as Hitler kept saying, there would be a detailed plan by the Wehrmacht how to defend it, that the public will be constructing fortifications and shelters, but no, nothing of this sort was happening.

    If Baron were to find it there exists a small pamphlet penned by a Jew driving in Germany towards the West in the Spring 1941, amongst the things he remarks on is a total absence of any structures that would suggest the country was preparing for an invasion by the Georgian thug. The pamphlet is not in English, and it is not a survey of the whole country, but one would have thought at least some effort would have been made to ensure the burghers of Germany were safe had the Georgian thug decided to move west.

    When I read Chief Culprit recently, that quote really jumped out at me. Because the way Rezun wrote it is very misleading if you read the entire letter. I thought to myself, “That’s a very deceptive thing to do” because he uses it as the main argument as to why Hitler went to war. That led me to scrutinize the rest of the book.

    There are some interesting parts of Chief Culprit which I think are overlooked. Take this passage for example:

    [MORE]

    It did not at all follow from Mein Kampf that Hitler would advance to the east. In Mein Kampf there is a mention of lands in the east, but no indication of when Germany needs to conquer those lands. Hitler simply “pointed his finger†in the direction. He even said (in Part 1, Chapter III): “The effort would have to be envisaged in terms of centuries; just as in all problems of colonization, steady perseverance is a far more important element than the output of energetic effort at the moment.†Hitler was planning to build a thousand-year Reich. Even in the famous, repeatedly quoted passage, he speaks of centuries: “We want to return to that point, at which our previous development stopped six hundred years ago.â€

    In order to return to that point, the Germans had to, as Hitler instructed, “halt the constant German push to the south and the west of Europe.†This, Hitler was unable to do. He was unable to do it because Mein Kampf contains an inherent fundamental contradiction. In order to advance east, it was necessary to stop moving west. On the other hand, in order to advance east, it was necessary to secure Germany’s safety from the mortal enemy, France, and first go west. One does not need to have Stalin’s insight—anyone can clearly understand that Hitler got confused in 1924. He set a trap for himself. He openly declared his intention to go east, making enemies out of all those to the east of him. Any German movement “towards the sun†could only go through Poland. Therefore, Poland automatically became Hitler’s enemy. And not only Poland: “lands in the east†is a very foggy concept. This declaration could have applied to anyone. If your neighbor proclaimed that he wants to rob you, would you like him? One phrase in his book transformed Hitler into a source of fear for all his eastern neighbors. This does not at all testify to his elevated mental capabilities.

    It is not wise to disclose one’s political goals, if they are strictly criminal. It is not prudent to make enemies with one’s neighbors. But Hitler not only openly proclaimed his desire to advance eastward, he also declared that France was his mortal enemy. To this list he also added the Jews. Hitler’s heavy load of enemies broke the camel’s back.

    The book Mein Kampf clearly demonstrated the arrival of a man who was going to fight against the world, the man whom the world was going to hate, the man against whom all people would rise up, the man the whole world would declare war upon. The entire world’s hatred would concentrate against Hitler and his followers. If Hitler unleashed a war, first and foremost this war would be against anyone but the Soviet Union. If Hitler unleashed a war, logic would demand the dissipation of German strength along the entire European continent, and beyond. Those who fought against Hitler would be considered saviors and liberators. This is exactly what Stalin needed. Stalin knew: if Hitler went to war against France and Britain, the question of lands in the east would fade on its own. (p. 22)

    This is tendentious but possibly it best captures Rezun’s overarching claim. You can see here the concept of Stalin working through Hitler as a conduit.

    I think Stalin was smart, but I don’t think he was that smart. The main thesis of Chief Culprit seems to be that Hitler was not bright and Stalin was moving him this way and that like a puppet. But perhaps a lot of people don’t like that part of the conclusion so they omit it from their glowing reviews.

    My response: I am not sure what kind of document you are looking for.

    Stalin had three separate independent espionage agencies working for him. The total power of these agencies was colossal, and testimonies abound about the might of Stalin’s espionage. These Soviet espionage services had penetrated into leading German military and political circles. Soviet military intelligence managed to gain access in Germany to the most secret information from the highest levels of power. Given these facts, the question is: “How could Hitler have surprised Stalin with his invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941?â€

    Suvorov says that Hitler knew that it had become impossible to conceal his preparations to invade the Soviet Union. Therefore, Hitler said in secret, in a way that Stalin could hear, “Yes, I want to attack Stalin after I have finished the war in the west.†The Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Soviet Armed Forces (GRU) also made extensive studies of all the economic, political, and military aspects of the situation and concluded that Germany could not win a war on two fronts. The GRU concluded that Hitler would not begin a war in the east without first finishing the war in the west. The head of the GRU submitted a detailed report to Stalin on March 20, 1941, which concluded that “the earliest possible date on which operations against the USSR may begin is the moment following victory over England or after an honorable peace for Germany has been achieved.†(Source: Suvorov, Viktor, The Chief Culprit: Stalin’s Grand Design to Start World War II, Annapolis, MD: Naval Institute Press, 2008, pp. 244-247).

    Soviet intelligence knew about the massive concentration of German troops on Soviet borders, the locations of all German divisions, the huge ammunition supplies, the movements of the German air force, and many other things. Soviet GRU agents knew many important secrets, including the name of Operation Barbarossa and the time of its inception. Yet on the eve of the German invasion, Soviet intelligence reported that preparations for invasion had not yet begun, and without these preparations Soviet intelligence felt it was impossible for Germany to begin the war. (Source: Ibid., p. 248).

    Given the extensive penetration of the Soviet espionage agencies into German military and political circles, why would Hitler want to document his plans to invade the Soviet Union? This would give away his plans and allow the Soviet Union to counter his invasion plans.

    For more details, I recommend that you read Chapter One of my book “Germany’s War,” which you can read for free on this website at https://www.unz.com/book/john_wear__germanys-war/.

    That led me to scrutinize the rest of the book.

    Sure, I tend to agree with you that Suvorov’s claims that Stalin had originally manipulated Hitler into power as part of his plan for a future European war seems implausible and thinly documented. My own view is very much the standard one, namely that the German Communists believed that Hitler would fail and the result would soon be a Communist Germany.

    Similarly, I think Suvorov also goes much too far in believing that Hitler struck when he did because he’d realized that Stalin was on the verge of attacking. Irving’s very detailed historical analysis seemed to completely contradict that notion, which I call “the Strong Suvorov Hypothesis.” When I originally read Suvorov’s books seven or eight years ago, I thought this quite possible, but Irving convinced me otherwise.

    My view is that Hitler had become very worried about the dangers of a Soviet attack on the Rumanian oil fields and increasingly convinced that Stalin planned to attack in the near future, but had no idea of the exact timing of the attack, let alone that a gigantic army of invasion had already been deployed on the border, getting ready to strike. That’s what I call “the Weak Suvorov” hypothesis, and I think it’s most likely correct.

    You write: “There are some interesting parts of Chief Culprit which I think are overlooked.”

    My response: Suvorov writes some things in “The Chief Culprit” that I don’t agree with.

    For example, despite Germany’s inability to successfully fight a prolonged war, Suvorov makes statements in his book as if Germany was attempting to conquer the world. Suvorov states: “In that same year, 1939, Hitler began his war for global domination,†and “Hitler went after world domination in September 1939 with just six tank divisions.†(Source: Suvorov, Viktor, The Chief Culprit: Stalin’s Grand Design to Start World War II, Annapolis, MD: Naval Institute Press, 2008, pp. 65, 87).

    Hitler never had the resources or military to obtain world domination. Hitler was not even aware that his attack of Poland on Sept. 1, 1939, would turn into anything more than a local conflict.

    Suvorov also implies that Hitler attacked Poland because Poland refused to satisfy Hitler’s aggressive demands. Suvorov states: “Hitler demanded a review of the Versailles Treaty. In accordance with this treaty, Eastern Prussia was separated from the main part of Germany, and the city of Danzig was declared a free city. Hitler demanded to be given a corridor through Polish territory to build a highway and a railroad between East Prussia and mainland Germany. Additionally, the city of Danzig was to become a part of Germany. The Polish government refused to satisfy Hitler’s demands.†(Source: Ibid., p. 106).

    In my opinion, this analysis is simplistic and misleading. It would be more accurate to state that Poland, with the backing of Great Britain, refused to negotiate with Germany and adopted policies that forced war between Germany and Poland.

    So, The Chief Culprit is not a perfect book. However, in my opinion, it does document Stalin’s plan to invade and conquer all of Europe.

    I would also point out that Hitler’s views changed over time, so it’s hard to say what his thoughts are about conflicts with this or that country in general. As more information came in or the world situation changed, his goals and the dangers he perceived also changed.

    In July to November 1940, he didn’t think the USSR was much of a threat, except that the specter of an Anglo-Soviet rapprochement hovered in the air. However, he was particularly fixated on Romania and Finland as extremely vital to Germany’s economy, and that was the main point of contention with the USSR. It was these areas where he perceived a possible threat, and so it turned out that the expedient Molotov-Ribbentrop pact came home to roost. Even so, I don’t think he made the final decision to invade until the meeting with Molotov.

    It was after Directive 21 was issued, when the recon flights became more regular, that the massing of Red Army troops on the border came to his attention as something serious. Of course, it was a mirror image because there was a massing of both German and Soviet troops. But from that point on, there was no possibility of turning back. He did, however, wrongfully assume that virtually all the Red Army formations were on the border with Germany. Perhaps he felt he needed to assume this because the plan for a quick victory was already specified in Directive 21.

    Anyway, the situation was much more nuanced than these grand narratives of good guys and bad guys, masterminds and puppets, which people so greatly desire.

    It would be more accurate to state that Poland, with the backing of Great Britain, refused to negotiate with Germany and adopted policies that forced war between Germany and Poland.

    From July to August 1939, the Chamberlain government conducted secret talks with Germany to settle the Poland issue, divide up world markets and spheres of influence with Germany, get rid of the security obligations with Poland and to avoid war. Why didn’t Hitler agree to them? I feel that was Hitler’s greatest mistake.

    “…The efforts of the Chamberlain group to continue the policy of appeasement by making economic and other concessions to Germany and their efforts to get Hitler to agree to a four-power pact form one of the most shameful episodes in the history of recent British diplomacy. These negotiations were chiefly conducted through Sir Horace Wilson and consisted chiefly of offers of colonial bribes and other concessions to Germany. These offers were either rejected or ignored by the Nazis…

    …One of these offers revolved around a semi-official economic agreement under which British and German industrialists would form cartel agreements in all fields to fix prices of their products and divide up the world’s market…

    …secret efforts were made through R.S. Hudson, secretary to the Department of Overseas Trade, to negotiate with Helmuth Wohlthat, Reich Commissioner for the Four Year Plan, who was in London to negotiate an international whaling agreement. Although Wholthat had no powers, he listened to Hudson and later to Sir Horace Wilson, but refused to discuss the matter with Chamberlain. Wilson offered: (1) a non-aggression pact with Germany; (2) a delimitation of spheres among the Great Powers; (3) colonial concessions in Africa along the lines previously mentioned; (4) an economic agreement. These conversations, reported to Berlin by Ambassador Dirksen in a dispatch of 21 July 1939, would have involved giving Germany a free hand in eastern Europe and bringing her into collision with Russia…

    …The negotiations, however, were already bogging down because of the refusal of the Germans to become very interested in them. Hitler and Ribbentrop by this time despised the British so thoroughly that they paid no attention to them at all, and the German Ambassador in London found it impossible to reach Ribbentrop, his official superior, either by dispatch or personally. Chamberlain, however, in his eagerness to make economic concessions to Germany, gave to Hitler £6 million in Czechoslovak gold in the Bank of England, and kept Lord Runciman busy training to be chief economic negotiator in the great agreement which he envisaged…”

    “…The industrialist Lord Aberconway, longtime chairman of both John Brown, the Clydeside shipbuilding firm, and English China Clays, and also a master-gardener, has died aged 89. Three years ago, he belatedly unburdened himself of a 60-year-old guilty secret.

    He told the Tory historian Andrew Roberts that, as a 26-year-old, he had been one of seven British businessmen dispatched secretly by Neville Chamberlain’s pro-appeasement government to try to stop an Anglo-German war over Poland.

    Three weeks before the war the seven made their separate ways to the island of Sylt off the German coast, to meet Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering. Their purpose was to offer a “second Munich†– a four-power agreement involving Britain, Germany, France and Italy – to make further concessions to German demands for lebensraum, on condition that the Nazis did not invade Poland.

    This offer, authorised by the leading appeaser, Chamberlain’s Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax, came as a shock to Halifax’s biographer Roberts, who had not found any reference to this last-minute offer in either Foreign Office documents or Halifax’s private papers. Aberconway backed his claims by showing Roberts 38 pages of documents…â€

    Hitler shouldn’t have invaded Poland. He should have reached another Munich deal with Chamberlain over Poland dispute. Chamberlain was willing to give Hitler Danzig and Polish corridor and a British-German non aggression pact.

    If Hitler wanted to attack Russia, he could reach some sort of agreement with Japan to invade Russia together in 1941 after 1940 U.S. elections. FDR only decided to ran again in 1940 due to WWII. UK wouldn’t have joined forces with Russia to resist German invasion. It would defeat entire purpose of appeasement policy. The possibility is strong that UK and France would even join in on the side of Germany to destroy Russia. This nearly happened in 1940 when UK and France plotted to attack Russia.

    Britain couldn’t make those guarantees because Britain was not Poland.

    The possibility was not strong. Britain only considered attacking the Soviet Union because they were supplying oil to Germany. So, it was really a way to attack Germany by attacking their resources. I noticed you didn’t mention the Anglo-French-Soviet collective security negotiations which were going on in the summer of 1939. The French representative was willing to sell the Baltic States, Poland, and Romania down the river in order to get the Red Army to the German borders. Britain, however, was not so forthcoming. They tried to draw out negotiations with the USSR as long as possible, and then the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was signed.

    The guarantee made on March 31 was worded to cover Polish “independence†and not her “territorial integrity.†It was designed by UK to leave the way open to territorial revision without revoking the guarantee.

    That is fake reason actually. Romania supplied most of the oil to Germany in 1939/1940. If they were really after the oil, Romania should be the target, not Russia. UK/French plot to attack Russia was anti Russian in nature, had very little to do with Germany.

    Britain did not guarantee to support the Sudetenland’s “independence†or “territorial integrity†with military assistance. That’s probably why they “gave it awayâ€, by not declaring war on Germany.

    The guarantee made on March 31 was worded to cover Polish “independence†and not her “territorial integrity.†It was designed by UK to leave the way open to territorial revision without revoking the guarantee.

    It did not matter to the Polish leaders. They interpreted it as such: “We won’t concede Danzig. Germany either has to invade or probably do nothing. Either way we win and give up nothing. If Germany invades, the guarantee is triggered and they will be defeated.â€

    That is fake reason actually. Romania supplied most of the oil to Germany in 1939/1940. If they were really after the oil, Romania should be the target, not Russia. UK/French plot to attack Russia was anti Russian in nature, had very little to do with Germany.

    No, that’s Russian/Soviet propaganda. The point is, Britain would not have considered attacking the Soviet Union in the first place had they not concluded the pact with Germany.

    Those talks were a joke, they were mainly a show to pressure Germany not to make war and to appease public opinion in UK for upcoming general elections.

    They were only a joke because Britain was unwilling to accept the “indirect aggression†clause that would allow the USSR to invade the Baltic States, plus Poland and Romania were not willing to allow the Red Army pass through.

    It’s not hard to divine the motivations of UK and France as to why they wanted to attack Russia in 1939-1940.

    Both of the two governments were anti Bolshevik. Their original plan was to let Hitler go eastwards to destroy bolshevik Russia. But the entire plan blew up in their faces with German-Soviet non aggression pact and German invasion of Poland. UK and France always feared that it there was another world war, Russia would stir up bolshevik revolution in their own countries and even watch UK/France and the Germans fight it out and wait for the right time when the two sides had exhausted themselves and then join in the war at the right moment to ignite European bolshevism and conquer territory for Russia.

    If that is the case, better for UK and France to pre emptively attack Russia in 1939-1940 and finish it off during the “phoney” war rather than let Russia take advantage of the war and intervene against UK and France later on. This was Stalin’s thinking as well:

    Unable to see through their dream of seeing the Nazi army charge through Poland to attack
    the Soviet Union, France and Britain were forced to declare war on Germany. But on the Western Front, not a single bomb would bother Nazi tranquility. However, a real internal political war was launched against the French Communists: On September 26, the French Communist Party was banned and thousands of its members were thrown into prison. Henri de Kerillis wrote:
    `An incredible tempest swept through bourgeois minds. The crusade storm raged. Only one cry could be heard: War on Russia. It was at this moment that the anti-Communist delirium reached its apogee.’

    At the same time, Stalin spoke with great insight to Zhukov:

    `The French Government headed by Daladier and the Chamberlain Government in Britain
    have no intention of getting seriously involved in the war with Hitler. They still hope to incite Hitler to a war against the Soviet Union. By refusing in 1939 to form with us an anti-Hitler bloc, they did not want to hamper Hitler in his aggression against the Soviet Union. Nothing will come of it. They will have to pay through the nose for their short-sighted policy.’

    If that was their dream, then it made no sense to guarantee Polish “independenceâ€. It would be much easier leave Poland to its own fate and give Germany the go ahead to realize that “dream”. But I’m sure this all made sense in Stalin’s paranoid mind of capitalist conspiracies.

    @John Wear

    It’s more than kind and generous of you to respond quoting mostly Suvorov, John, many thanks for it, you may not believe it, Baron’s educational background as well as a large chunk of his life covers what we are debating now.

    We have nothing but Suvorov’s word for most of the theory that the Georgian thug intended to invade Western Europe, plus Hitler’s public speeches, plus few second to third hand testimonies.

    What we do not have is any top politician that met Hitler (say) Neville or any other one (say) Halifax, Henderson (our Ambassador), Mussolini, Matsuoka, there were a score of them would say in the memoirs or in other official documents that Hitler mentioned to them that the Georgian thug wanted to invade Western Europe hence every nation should join Hitler to go destroy the communist monster. It would have been a powerful argument even more convincing if Hitler were to table a believable or even a made up evidence for such a claim. There is nothing of this kind of evidence.

    Amongst the thousands of Wehrmacht documents captured after the war there isn’t a single one that would show how the military would have responded to the Red Army’s invasion, the possibility may have been considered but no serious preparations were put in place very likely because that option had a low priority, the absence of any fortifications, air raid shelters, bunker or whatever suggests that neither Hitler nor his military believed the Georgian thug will invade.

    You haven’t responded to Baron’s claim that there were no serious defence fortification in Germany before the Kursk battle. Why? What would the good burghers of Germany do if hordes of the Red Army soldiery were to move on them.

    The Georgian thug would not ever consider invading the Western Europe for the same reason he wouldn’t have moved further west in 1945 when the war ended even as he had 5mn men under command, well equipped and seasoned by the fighting for four years plus. He feared the men would be infected by the quality of life, by the immeasurably higher living standard of the Western plebeians, would realise the creed of communism was evil, may have turned against him. A vast number of the Red Army fighters ended in the Gulags after the war ended exactly for that reason.

    You write: “We have nothing but Suvorov’s word for most of the theory that the Georgian thug intended to invade Western Europe, plus Hitler’s public speeches, plus few second to third hand testimonies.”

    My response: I will give you some things that support Suvorov’s thesis:

    1) On May 5, 1941, Stalin made it clear to his generals that the Soviet Union would be the aggressor in a war with Germany. At a banquet a Soviet general toasted Stalin’s peaceful foreign policy. Stalin intervened:

    “Allow me to make a correction. A peaceful foreign policy secured peace in our country. A peaceful foreign policy is a good thing. For a while, we drew a line of defenses until we rearmed our army [and] supplied it with modern means of combat. Now, when our army has been rebuilt, our technology modernized, [now that we are] strong [enough] for combat, now we must shift from defense to offense. In conducting the defense of our country, we are compelled to act in an aggressive manner. From defense we have to shift to a military policy of offense. It is indispensable that we reform our training, our propaganda, our press to a mindset of offense. The Red Army is a modern army, and the modern army is an army of offense.”

    The general who made the toast to Stalin’s peaceful foreign policy was discharged a few days after the banquet.

    2) Soviet soldiers and officers were issued Russian-German and Russian-Romanian phrase books as part of their preparations for an invasion of Europe. Thousands of Soviet troops did not think to get rid of this compromising evidence when they were captured in the German invasion of the Soviet Union. The Russian-German phrase books were composed very simply: a question in Russian, followed by the same question in German written in Russian letters, then in German in Latin letters. If the Soviet soldier did not know how to pronounce the needed German phrase, he could point to the corresponding lines in the book and the Germans could read the lines themselves.

    The phrases indicated that the Soviets were planning to conduct an offensive war in Europe. For example, some phrases asked: “Where is the burghermeister? Is there an observation point on the steeple?†There were no burghermeisters or steeples in the Soviet Union. These questions are relevant only if the Soviet soldiers were in Germany. Here are other examples: “Where is the fuel? Where is the garage? Where are the stores? Where is the water? Gather and bring here [so many] horses [farm animals], we will pay!†These questions and phrases would not be relevant on Soviet soil. Other revealing phrases are the following: “You do not need to be afraid. The Red Army will come soon!†These phrases are also not relevant for a war conducted on Soviet soil.

    3) Within less than a year, the Soviet Union destroyed a Japanese army in Mongolia, took over the eastern part of Poland by military force, conducted an extremely difficult and successful invasion of Finland, forced the Baltic nations of Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia to join the Soviet Union against their will, and took possession of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina from Romania.

    These Soviet military conquests and ultimatums expanded the Soviet Union’s territory by 426,000 square kilometers, approximately equal to the surface area of the German Reich in 1919. These Soviet military operations prove that the Soviet Union was extremely powerful and aggressive. The Soviet Union was well-positioned after these military conquests to launch a massive offensive against all of Europe.

    4) Further evidence that the Soviet Union was planning to attack Germany is provided by Andrei Vlasov, a Soviet general who had been captured by the Germans. During a conversation in 1942 with SS Gen. Richard Hildebrandt, Vlasov was asked if and when Stalin had intended to attack Germany. Hildebrandt later stated: “Vlasov responded by saying that the attack was planned for August-September 1941. The Russians had been preparing the attack since the beginning of the year, which took quite a while because of the poor Russian railroad network. Hitler had sized up the situation entirely correctly, and had struck directly into the Russian buildup. This, said Vlasov, is the reason for the tremendous initial German successes.â€

    5) During the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, Yakov Iosifovich Dzhugashvili, the son of Stalin, was taken prisoner by the Germans. Stalin’s son was searched and questioned. A letter dated June 11, 1941, was found in his pockets from another officer stating: “I am at the training camps. I would like to be home by fall, but the planned walk to Berlin might hinder this.†German intelligence officers asked Yakov Dzhugashvili to clarify the statement about the “planned walk to Berlin.†Stalin’s son read the letter and quietly muttered: “Damn it!†Obviously, the letter indicates that Soviet forces were planning to invade Germany later that year.

    6) The Red Army needed an air armada of transport planes and gliders to deliver hundreds of thousands of paratroopers. Soviet factories started the mass production of cargo gliders beginning in the spring of 1941. On April 23, 1941, Stalin and Molotov signed an order to accelerate the production of an 11-seat glider with a deadline of May 15, 1941, and of a 20-seat glider with a deadline of July 1, 1941. The gliders that were produced in the spring of 1941 had to be used by the latest in the early fall of 1941. Gliders had light and fragile bodies and wings and could not be parked outdoors. Keeping a huge cargo glider outdoors during fall winds and rains would harm it beyond repair. Since all available hangars were already full with previously produced gliders, the mass production of gliders in the spring of 1941 meant that they had to be used either in the summer of 1941 or early fall at the latest.

    Cargo warplanes are used to deliver assault forces with parachutists to the enemy’s rear. Soviet war-transport aviation used the American Douglas DC-3, which was considered to be the best cargo plane in the world at the start of World War II, as its primary cargo plane. In 1938, the U.S. government sold to Stalin the production license and the necessary amount of the most complex equipment for the DC-3’s production. The Soviet Union also bought 20 DC-3s from the United States before the war. In 1939, the Soviet Union produced six identical DC-3 aircraft; in 1940, it produced 51 DC-3 aircraft; and in 1941, it produced 237 DC-3 aircraft. During the entire war 2,419 DC-3s or equivalent planes were produced in Soviet factories.

    The Soviet gliders and transport planes would be easy prey for enemy fighters if the Soviet Union did not secure complete air superiority. The Red Army had to begin the war with a massive air attack and invasion against the enemy’s air bases. Tens of thousands of paratroopers could then be dropped to seize and control key bases and strategic sites. Any other scenario was not viable. Instead, it was Hitler who carried out a preemptive strike, and Stalin’s strategy to strike the first blow was aborted. The Soviet Union’s carefully designed plan to mount a massive air offensive followed by an assault of airborne troops had to be abandoned in the desperate rush to fight a defensive war.

    7) From 1926 to 1937, the Soviet Union constructed 13 fortified regions along its western borders known unofficially as “the Stalin Line.†There were many differences between the Soviet Stalin Line and the French Maginot Line. Unlike the French Maginot Line, the Stalin Line was built in secrecy and not publicized. The Stalin Line was much deeper and was built not only to stop infantry, but mostly to stop tanks. The Soviets also used huge quantities of steel and granite boulders in addition to concrete. The Stalin Line was built from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south and could not be bypassed. Finally, unlike the Maginot Line, the Stalin Line was not built at the very border, but further into Soviet territory.

    The 13 fortified regions on the Stalin Line were built for defense and came at a tremendous cost in effort and money. Each fortified region was also a military formation that could independently conduct military operations during a long period of time and in isolated conditions. In 1938 it was decided to strengthen all 13 regions by building heavy artillery installations within them. The Soviet Union also started construction of eight more fortified regions. Then, when the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact created a common border between Germany and the Soviet Union, Stalin ordered further construction of the fortified regions to stop. The existing fortified regions were disarmed, and everything connected with defense was dismantled and destroyed.

    The construction of a new line of fortified regions began during the summer of 1940 on the new Soviet-German border. These new regions were unofficially referred to as the Molotov Line, but they were never finished. The defense buildup on the new borders proceeded very slowly, while the destruction of the Stalin Line was surprisingly fast. When Germany attacked the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, the Molotov Line was not yet built. Soviet generals and marshals after Stalin’s death unanimously expressed their anger. They asked: How could Stalin liquidate and disarm the fortified regions on the old borders without building the necessary defenses on the new western borders? The answer is that Stalin was not planning to fight on his territory; Stalin was planning an offensive war against all of Europe.

    8) The actions of the Red Army during the first days of the war speak best about Soviet intentions to conduct an offensive war. Up until June 30, 1941, Gen. Zhukov insisted on advance and demanded that commanders of Soviet forces aimed at Romania and Hungary exclusively attack. Zhukov stopped the attack only when he and his colleagues concluded that his armies could no longer advance. On June 22, 1941, several other Soviet commanders also followed prewar plans without awaiting orders from Moscow, and attacked the following regions: the Rava-Russkaya region, Tilzit in Eastern Prussia, and the Polish city of Suvalki.

    The actions of the Soviet fleet during the first days of the war also show with sufficient clarity its plans for offense. On June 22, 1941, the submarines of the Baltic fleet sailed toward the shores of Germany with the objective of sinking all enemy ships and vessels according to the rules of unrestricted warfare. No exceptions were made, not even for medical vessels sailing under the Red Cross flag. Soviet submarines from the Black Sea fleet immediately sailed into the sea toward the shores of Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey. On June 25 and 26, 1941, the Black Sea fleet’s cruisers carried out an intensive artillery raid in the vicinity of the Romanian port of Constanta. At the same time, the Danube military flotilla began an assault in the Danube river delta. The garrison of the Soviet naval base Hanko also conducted intensive assault operations during the beginning of the war, taking over 19 Finnish islands in the course of several days.

    The Soviet air force also acted in an aggressive manner at the start of the war. On June 25, 1941, despite losses suffered during the first days of the war, Soviet air forces bombed all known air fields of the southern part of Finland. On June 23, 1941, acting according to plans, the Soviet long-range omber air force carried out a massive attack against military targets in Koenigsberg and Danzig. Soviet long-range bombers also began to bomb the PloieÅŸti oil fields in Romania on June 26, 1941. After a few days of raids, the amount of oil Germany obtained in Romania was reduced almost in half. If Hitler had not attacked first, the Soviet air force would have been much more dangerous, and could have totally paralyzed the entire German war effort through its strikes against the oil-producing regions.

    9) Every Soviet commander, starting with regiment level and higher, had in his safe a so-called “Red Packet,†which contained the plans for war. When Germany invaded, the commanders opened their “Red Packets,†but they did not find in them anything useful for defense. The Red Army had neither prepared for defense nor conducted any training in defensive operations. The defensive operations of the Red Army in the summer of 1941 were pure improvisation.

    10) German intelligence officers also asked Stalin’s son why the Soviet artillery, which had the best cannon and howitzers in the world, fired so poorly. Stalin’s son truthfully answered: “The maps let the Red Army down, because the war, contrary to expectations, unfolded to the east of the state border.†The Soviet maps were of territories in which the Red Army planned to advance, and were useless for defending the country. Storages of topographic maps located unreasonably close to the border were either destroyed by the advancing German army or by the retreating Soviet forces. In 1941, the Red Army fought without maps, and the Soviet artillery could not fire accurately without maps.

    I hope this helps.

    Agreed: we should keep an open mind on National Socialism for now.

    That’s a fair point. For my own part, I’m not convinced that any historically existing Christian church can claim to have the final word on Christ’s true doctrines — only we individual believers can.

    Potocki’s stuff is of interest, but not in the way that Hitler-apologists imply. Far from allowing one to blame Roosevelt for anything, Potocki’s documents only reaffirm that Hitler was at fault.

    The thing is that Potocki expresses a lot of critical antagonism towards Roosevelt, Bullitt et alia. He indicates quite a bit of sympathy towards Hitler, right up until March 7, 1939. That was the date of the last transcript as I recall, in the collection of Potocki memos that were published. It is clear from those documents that the Polish government was never influenced by Roosevelt in any way that would have prevented the Poles from capitulating to Hitler’s terms over Danzig. Rather, it was the occupation of Czechia, which Hitler carried out on March 15, 1939, that put an end to Potocki’s sympathetic comments about Hitler and his antagonism towards Roosevelt.

    These documents would actually read more in support of what some people try to attribute to them if they had shown Potocki taking a friendly attitude towards Roosevelt. As Potocki’s transcripts read in actuality, it is clear that Roosevelt could never have persuaded the Poles to take a firm stand against Hitler. It was the violation of the Munich Agreement which did that. Not any influence by Roosevelt.

    Saying that Bullitt had predicted a war means nothing. Everyone who read Mein Kampf could predict that a war was likely sooner or later. What would be necessary would be to find evidence that the Polish government had contemplated giving Hitler Danzig right after he had marched across Czechia, and that somehow Roosevelt prevented them from doing this. That, obviously, is ridiculous.

    It’s fine to simply say that FDR “wanted” a war with Hitler is some sense, but he did nothing to cause the war. Poland refused to deal over Danzig because they saw how Hitler had overrun Czechia, in violation of the Munich Agreement. No one has ever found any evidence that would remotely suggest that the Poles were influenced by FDR in their refusal to give in after March 15, 1939.

    FDR surely understood that a war would stimulate the economy and could be a good thing for him. However, something like his speech to “quarantine the aggressors” accomplished nothing. Chamberlain continued with appeasement, and Potocki remained sympathetic towards Hitler. Meanwhile, the US Congress continued to impose restraints on what FDR could do. It was Hitler ripping up the Munich Agreement which changed all of that. FDR simply capitalized on Hitler’s arrogance.

    A straight-up lie. There were pogroms which broke out in Poland starting on September 3 and may have led to the deaths of between 4-5 thousand. But the “50,000” which you give is a pure invention, and this violence began after the German invasion had started on September 1.

    He’s quite knowledgeable about the historical facts and certainly correct that the 50,000 figure was a ridiculous propaganda exaggeration. He’s also correct that nearly all the 4-5 thousand German civilians deaths only occurred after war had broken out and the Germans had invaded. Some German civilians had been murdered prior to that, perhaps partly to provoke a war, but the numbers were very small.

    Nothing is remotely suggested by Irving about Roosevelt somehow causing the war.

    But having taken correct positions in many of his other comments, he then deploys his credibility to make the most ridiculous sort of arguments on far more crucial points.

    Almost none of Irving’s books deal with FDR or other American political figures, so why would anyone expect him to discuss FDR’s role? He naturally focuses on Churchill, one of his major subjects and Britain’s great national hero of the last one hundred years. My guess is that Irving has written 10x or perhaps even 50x as much on Churchill as on FDR, with the latter usually only mentioned in the context of his relationship with Churchill.

    Also, how in the world could anyone have expected Hitler to know of FDR’s role in provoking the war back in May 1939? Prior to the German capture of Warsaw many months later, he didn’t have access to the secret Polish diplomatic archives, nor obviously to the private memoirs of all the leading British, Polish, and American diplomats, which were only published years later.

    I very much doubt that Hitler was a subscriber to The New Republic nor that any of his staff had noticed the early 1938 column by John T. Flynn, in which the latter revealed that a top FDR aide had boasted to him that a major war would easily solve all of FDR’s terrible economic problems. And Hitler had been dead for years by the time Flynn published his national bestseller discussing FDR’s successful plans for a war in far greater detail.

    “McNally” seems to assume that Hitler was omniscient, which seems unlikely to me.

    However, by the time that Hitler declared war against America in December 1941, some of this information, such as the Polish diplomatic papers, had indeed come to his attention, so he much more directly blamed FDR for his numerous military provocations.

    Overall, I suspect that “McNally” is very well stocked with ADL-type briefing books on all these standard WWII arguments. However, since no one had ever previously noticed or mentioned the striking 1938 statements by Flynn until I discovered them, he has absolutely no response to that powerful evidence, which so strongly corroborates the private statements of all those various diplomats, as well as that of William Henry Chamberlin.

    This reminds me of the extremely weak and foolish arguments that “McNally” had made against Prof. John Beaty’s evidence on the unreality of the Holocaust, which again no one had ever noticed prior to myself.

    Overall, this is quite similar to the absurd claims of “McNally” that only a small fraction of the early Bolshevik leaders were Jewish rather than the overwhelming majority of them.

    > how in the world could anyone have expected Hitler to know of FDR’s role in provoking the war back in May 1939?

    The point about Hitler’s documented statements from May 1939 (as well as other times) is not whether or not Hitler did or did not know anything about Roosevelt. The point is that Hitler’s motives for starting a war had nothing to do with anything that Roosevelt could ever have influenced. The war was started because Hitler seeking to expand German living space. He was not concerned Danzig very much at all, except as a pretext for placing his own demands. Similarly, in 1938 had only regarded the Sudetenland as a pretext for what culminated in the occupation of Czechia on March 15, 1939. This was especially important for Hitler because it allowed him to take the Skoda Works and the Czech gold stocks.

    Nothing in any of the documents ever published by the Germans provides the slightest evidence to suggest that Poland was ever influenced by Roosevelt into dismissing Hitler’s demands over Danzig. It was the occupation of Czechia which did that. What you would need to do is to come up with some documents which show that even after March 15, 1939, the Polish government was ready to trust Hitler in an agreement over Danzig, but that somehow Roosevelt persuaded them not to. You won’t find anything like that, because it’s not true.

    What documents from before the occupation of Czechia on March 15, 1939, show is simply that the Roosevelt administration was expecting that a conflict would eventually break out and was seeking to position itself to benefit when that happened. But those same documents show that people like Jerzy Potocki scoffed at FDR’s overtures, until Hitler occupied Czechia on March 15, 1939. Everything stems from there. Nothing which William Bullitt said in 1938 played any role at all in creating the crisis which broke out after Hitler tore up the Munich Pact.

    John T. Flynn was a frustrated ideologue who did not give any careful unbiased consideration to the implications of Hitler marching across Czechia on March 15, 1939. Flynn started as a New Dealer but then veered more towards what we would now call libertarianism. In that context he picked up a strong hostility towards FDR without ever really looking closely at the European events.

    > My response: This is simply not true.

    It most definitely is. The outbreak of war in 1939 had a very simple cause which you seek to overcomplicate. Hitler had signed the Munich Pact on September 29, 1938, because his own intelligence reports made it clear that the German population was not ready to go to war. He settled for the Sudetenland reluctantly without enthusiasm, and he always intended to go back and seize Czechia once some time had passed. He did that on March 15, 1939, and then he began presenting demands over Danzig which mimicked the routine which he had gone through 6 months earlier over Czechoslovakia. In that context, Poles were not willing to make a deal over Danzig and Britain was not willing to pressure the Poles to make such a deal.

    All of this happened outside of FDR’s orbit. He never had the influence to guide things like this. What the record shows is that from 1937 onward, FDR was increasingly hedging his bets on the likelihood that a war would eventually break out in Europe, and this would give him the opportunity to play Dr. Win-the-War. His “quarantine the aggressors” speech was given in this spirit. But it accomplished nothing. Chamberlain went on with appeasement, Poland continued to be friendly with Germany, Republicans in Congress and the Senate continued to impose isolationist restrictions on what FDR could do. That only changed after Hitler had gone far enough to force the change.

    You write: “All of this happened outside of FDR’s orbit. He never had the influence to guide things like this.”

    My response: Let’s look at some of the factors indicting that FDR wanted the United States to enter World War II.

    1. The Polish secret documents reveal that FDR wanted the United States to enter into World War II. Probably the most revealing document in the collection is a secret report dated Jan. 12, 1939, by Jerzy Potocki, the Polish ambassador to the United States. I quote this document in full in Chapter Two of my book.

    2. Sir Ronald Lindsay, the British ambassador to Washington, confirmed Roosevelt’s secret policy to instigate war against Germany with the release of a confidential diplomatic report after the war. The report describes a secret meeting on Sept. 18, 1938, between Roosevelt and Ambassador Lindsay. Roosevelt said that if Britain and France were forced into a war against Germany, the United States would ultimately join the war. Roosevelt’s idea to start a war was for Britain and France to impose a blockade against Germany without actually declaring war. The important point was to call it a defensive war based on lofty humanitarian grounds and on the desire to wage hostilities with a minimum of suffering and the least possible loss of life and property. The blockade would provoke some kind of German military response, but would free Britain and France from having to declare war. Roosevelt believed he could then convince the American public to support war against Germany, including shipments of weapons to Britain and France, by insisting that the United States was still neutral in a non-declared conflict.

    President Roosevelt told Ambassador Lindsay that if news of their conversation was ever made public, it could mean Roosevelt’s impeachment. What Roosevelt proposed to Lindsay was in effect a scheme to violate the U.S. Constitution by illegally starting a war. For this and other reasons, Ambassador Lindsay stated that during his three years of service in Washington he developed little regard for America’s leaders.

    Ambassador Lindsay in a series of final reports also indicated that Roosevelt was delighted at the prospect of a new world war. Roosevelt promised Lindsay that he would delay German ships under false pretenses in a feigned search for arms. This would allow the German ships to be easily seized by the British under circumstances arranged with exactitude between the American and British authorities. Lindsay reported that Roosevelt “spoke in a tone of almost impish glee and though I may be wrong the whole business gave me the impression of resembling a school-boy prank.â€

    Ambassador Lindsay was personally perturbed that the President of the United States could be gay and joyful about a pending tragedy which seemed so destructive of the hopes of all mankind. It was unfortunate at this important juncture that the United States had a president whose emotions and ideas were regarded by a friendly British ambassador as being childish. (Source: Hoggan, David L., The Forced War: When Peaceful Revision Failed, Costa Mesa, CA: Institute for Historical Review, 1989, pp. 518-519).

    3. William Phillips, the American Ambassador to Italy, also stated in his postwar memoirs that the Roosevelt administration in late 1938 was committed to going to war on the side of Britain and France. Phillips wrote: “On this and many other occasions, I would have liked to have told him [Count Ciano, the Italian Foreign Minister] frankly that in the event of a European war, the United States would undoubtedly be involved on the side of the Allies. But in view of my official position, I could not properly make such a statement without instructions from Washington, and these I never received.†(Source: Phillips, William, Ventures in Diplomacy, North Beverly, MA: privately published, 1952, pp. 220-221).

    4. When Anthony Eden returned to England in December 1938, he carried with him an assurance from President Roosevelt that the United States would enter as soon as practicable a European war against Hitler if the occasion arose. This information was obtained by Sen. William Borah of Idaho, who was debating how and when to give out this information when he dropped dead in his bathroom. The story was confirmed to historian Harry Elmer Barnes by some of Sen. Borah’s closest colleagues at the time. (Source: Barnes, Harry Elmer, Barnes Against the Blackout, Costa Mesa, CA: Institute for Historical Review, 1991, p. 208).

    5. The American Ambassador to Poland, Anthony Drexel Biddle, was an ideological colleague of President Roosevelt and a good friend of William Bullitt. Roosevelt used Biddle to influence the Polish government not to enter into negotiations with Germany. Carl J. Burckhardt, the League of Nations High Commissioner to Danzig, reported in his postwar memoirs on a memorable conversation he had with Biddle. On Dec. 2, 1938, Biddle told Burckhardt with remarkable satisfaction that the Poles were ready to wage war over Danzig. Biddle predicted that in April a new crisis would develop, and that moderate British and French leaders would be blown away by public opinion. Biddle predicted a holy war against Germany would break out. (Source: Burckhardt, Carl, Meine Danziger Mission 1937-1939, Munich: Callwey, 1960, p. 225).

    6. Dr. Edvard Beneš, the former President of Czechoslovakia, wrote in his memoirs that he had a lengthy secret conversation at Hyde Park with President Roosevelt on May 28, 1939. Roosevelt assured Dr. Beneš that the United States would actively intervene on the side of Great Britain and France against Germany in the anticipated European war. (Source: Beneš, Edvard, Memoirs of Dr. Edvard Beneš, London: George Allen & Unwin, 1954, pp. 79-80).

    7. American newspaper columnist Karl von Wiegand, who was the chief European newspaper columnist of the International News Service, met with Ambassador William Bullitt at the U.S. embassy in Paris on April 25, 1939. More than four months before the outbreak of war, Bullitt told Wiegand: “War in Europe has been decided upon. Poland has the assurance of the support of Britain and France, and will yield to no demands from Germany. America will be in the war soon after Britain and France enter it.†(Source: “Von Wiegand Says-,†Chicago-Herald American, Oct. 8, 1944, p. 2).

    8. Roosevelt also attempted to arm Poland so that Poland would be more willing to go to war against Germany. Ambassador Bullitt reported from Paris in a confidential telegram to Washington on April 9, 1939, his conversation with Polish Ambassador Åukasiewicz. Bullitt told Åukasiewicz that although U.S. law prohibited direct financial aid to Poland, the Roosevelt administration might be able to supply war planes to Poland indirectly through Britain. Bullitt stated: “The Polish Ambassador asked me if it might not be possible for Poland to obtain financial help and airplanes from the United States. I replied that I believed the Johnson Act would forbid any loans from the United States to Poland, but added that it might be possible for England to purchase planes for cash in the United States and turn them over to Poland.†(Source: U.S. Department of State, Foreign Relations of the United States (Diplomatic Papers), 1939, General, Vol. I, Washington: 1956, p. 122).

    9. Bullitt also attempted to bypass the Neutrality Act and supply France with airplanes. A secret conference of Ambassador Bullitt with French Premier Daladier and the French Minister of Aviation, Guy La Chambre, discussed the procurement of airplanes from America for France. Bullitt, who was in frequent telephonic conversation with Roosevelt, suggested a means by which the Neutrality Act could be circumvented in the event of war. Bullitt’s suggestion was to set up assembly plants in Canada, apparently on the assumption that Canada would not be a formal belligerent in the war. Bullitt also arranged for a secret French mission to come to the United States and purchase airplanes in the winter of 1938-1939. The secret purchase of American airplanes by the French leaked out when a French aviator crashed on the West Coast. (Source: Chamberlain, William Henry, America’s Second Crusade, Chicago: Regnery, 1950, pp. 101-102).

    10. On Aug. 23, 1939, Sir Horace Wilson, Chamberlain’s closest advisor, went to American Ambassador Joseph Kennedy with an urgent appeal from Chamberlain to President Roosevelt. Regretting that Britain had unequivocally obligated itself to Poland in case of war, Chamberlain now turned to Roosevelt as a last hope for peace. Kennedy telephoned the State Department and stated: “The British want one thing from us and one thing only, namely that we put pressure on the Poles. They felt that they could not, given their obligations, do anything of this sort but that we could.â€

    Presented with a possibility to save the peace in Europe, President Roosevelt rejected Chamberlain’s desperate plea out of hand. With Roosevelt’s rejection, Kennedy reported, British Prime Minister Chamberlain lost all hope. Chamberlain stated: “The futility of it all is the thing that is frightful. After all, we cannot save the Poles. We can merely carry on a war of revenge that will mean the destruction of all Europe.â€

    There is a lot more I could write on this subject. This is enough for now.

    LOL. You’re such a total fraud. It took you three days to respond to my simple point about Flynn’s powerful evidence. Since no one had ever noticed it before me, I’m sure it wasn’t in any of your ADL briefing books and I guess your research assistants couldn’t find anything either.

    I had merely pointed out that in 1938 John T. Flynn was considered one of America’s most influential progressive columnists and in early January of that year he reported that a top FDR aide had boasted to him that the obvious solution to America’s terrible economic problems was a large bout of “military Keynsianism,” namely getting America involved in a major war. Note that astonishing disclosure came more than a full year before the 1939 date you claim was so crucial in provoking World War II.

    I then cited the statements of all the leading Polish, British, and American diplomats, drawn from their secret reports and later memoirs, that emphasized it was FDR’s enormous pressure on Poland and Britain during 1939 that prevented a peaceful resolution of the Polish-German boundary dispute, thereby leading to the outbreak of World War II. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain said much the same thing.

    So at the beginning of 1938, FDR promised to boost the American economy with a huge war, and that’s exactly what happened. No one can accuse him of not keeping his (private) promises.

    You always do a fine job when the matters under discussion are those already covered in your voluminous briefing-books. But when I bring up entirely new evidence, such as that of Flynn’s 1938 column or Prof. John Beaty’s book, you’re totally at sea.

    > Let’s look at some of the factors indicting that FDR wanted the United States to enter World War II.

    I’m not aware that there is any dispute over FDR’s desire that a suitable stage the US should enter World War II. Even many pro-FDR authors will readily grant that. Likewise, there is no dispute at all about the fact that Hitler’s central ambition since at least the early 1920s was to conquer living space in eastern Europe that would allow him to expand the population of Aryan Herrenvolk by driving the Slavic Untermensch out. Which was more germane to the actual outbreak of war in 1939?

    A point made resoundingly many times over by both historians and some Hitler-apologists is that Hitler was not deliberately seeking to start a global war in the early days of 1939. That much is well-accepted by, say, Richard Overy, Origins of the Second World War:

    —–
    … the evidence surrounding the Polish crisis makes it clear that this was supposed to be the successful small war that he was denied the year before. He was convinced that Poland could be isolated, and made no serious military preparations for any campaign against the west… The existing evidence is much more consistent with the idea that Poland was to be subjugated by a short, sharp campaign or, if the Polish government abandoned resistance, be drawn fully into the German orbit.
    —–
    –Overy, Origins, p. 77.

    The fact remains that it was entirely the actions of Hitler which set off the war, beginning with the occupation of Czechia on March 15, 1939. The records left over by Potocki is interesting enough but does not support what Hitler-apologists have tried to attribute to it. Those documents show that right up until March 7, 1939, Potocki was scathingly hostile towards Roosevelt and sympathetic towards Hitler.

    —–
    Bullitt was said to have informed Count Jerzy Potocki, the Polish Ambassador to the United States, that “America is ready to place its entire resources in the way of finances and raw materials at their disposal…” … There was one document, which Count Potocki was supposed to have written, describing American public opinion: it couldn’t have been more anti-Semitic if Dr. Goebbels had written it himself. It described Mr. Roosevelt as the puppet of wealthy Jews like Henry Morgenthau, Jr., and Bernard M. Baruch.
    —–
    — Harold Lavine & James Wechsler, War Propaganda and the United States, pp. 258-9, 261.

    All that such documents show is that Hitler missed a great chance for being pals with Potocki when he invaded Czechia. Such documents do not at all imply that the crisis in Europe was created by Roosevelt. They show rather that Potocki scoffed at Roosevelt until March 15, 1939. Once Hitler had occupied Czechia, the Poles began take the idea of a German threat seriously, not because of anything Roosevelt ever said, but because of what Hitler did in real practice.

    You’re a foolish ideologue. John Flynn mostly wrote about Pearl Harbor. He wrote a lot of general comments drawing analogies between the New Deal and fascism, some of which would be agreed with by others. But he never really much of a detailed analysis of the foreign relations in Europe.

    For the kind of lunacy which you’re trying to sell here, what you would need to do is find documents which show Polish officials reacting to Hitler’s occupation of Czechia on March 15, 1939, with dialogue something like:

    —–
    Oh, well, I’m sure that we can still work something over Danzig with Hitler, even though he just shredded the Munich Agreement which he had signed less than 6 months ago. Yeah, we’ll make a good treaty with him. What?!?! You say that Roosevelt doesn’t want us to deal with Hitler?!?! Oh, well that’s different then! We won’t deal with Hitler over Danzig if Roosevelt doesn’t want it!
    —–

    That’s the kind of delusion which you’re conjuring up here. The reality was that no in the Polish government cared about what Roosevelt said or thought, until Hitler occupied Czechia. Hitler’s occupation of Czechia had nothing to do with any wrongs from the Versailles Treaty. It was a step in his drive to the east for living space, where the next door to go through was Poland. That was what determined the Polish response, not anything that Roosevelt ever did.

    John Flynn became a bit too overwrought in his antagonism towards Roosevelt, but he doesn’t seem to have ever actually made any detailed study of the record of foreign relations in Europe that led up to war in 1939. His most lengthy pieces were devoted towards either Pearl Harbor or to developing analogies between the New Deal and fascism. But very little that he wrote really covers Hitler’s aims of first rolling over Czechoslovakia and then absorbing Poland, whether as an outright colony or as a satellite state, as a preliminary for the final drive to the east that would conquer living space in Russia. Flynn simply doesn’t have much knowledge of the subject.

    You write: “The fact remains that it was entirely the actions of Hitler which set off the war, beginning with the occupation of Czechia on March 15, 1939.”

    My response: It was not entirely the actions of Hitler and the occupation of Czechia on March 15, 1939, that set off the war. You can read Chapter Three of my book for more detailed information.

    3. David E. Lilienthal — Director of Tennessee Valley Authority, advisor. The TVA changed the relationship of government-to-business in America.

    8. Benjamin V. Cohen — State Department official, advisor to FDR.
    9. Rabbi Stephen Wise — Close friend of FDR, spokesman for the American Zionist movement, head of The American Jewish Congress.

    Marschalko wrote about this hidden Jewish power:

    “A hidden power, able to keep under its control a country of 150 million people, governing from key positions from its brain trust and from behind the presidential chair, is a terrible thing to contemplate. But Roosevelt required the help of this far-reaching and omnipotent power in order to involve America in the Second World War.” (Source: Marschalko, Louis, The World Conquerors: The Real War Criminals, Omnia Veritas Ltd., p. 97).

    You write: “Once Hitler had occupied Czechia, the Poles began take the idea of a German threat seriously, not because of anything Roosevelt ever said, but because of what Hitler did in real practice.”

    My response: Poland threatened Germany with a partial mobilization of her forces on March 23, 1939. Hundreds of thousands of Polish Army reservists were mobilized, and Hitler was warned that Poland would fight to prevent the return of Danzig to Germany. The Poles were surprised to discover that Germany did not take this challenge seriously. Hitler, who deeply desired friendship with Poland, refrained from responding to the Polish threat of war. Germany did not threaten Poland and took no precautionary military measures in response to the Polish partial mobilization. (Source: Hoggan, David L., The Forced War: When Peaceful Revision Failed, Costa Mesa, CA: Institute for Historical Review, 1989, pp. 311-312).

    So, Poland began to threaten Germany, but at this point Germany did not take the Polish threat seriously.

    Polish Foreign Minister Józef Beck accepted an offer from Great Britain on March 30, 1939, that gave an unconditional unilateral guarantee of Poland’s independence. The British Empire agreed to go to war as an ally of Poland if the Poles decided that war was necessary. In words drafted by Halifax, Chamberlain spoke in the House of Commons on March 31, 1939, declaring:

    “I now have to inform the House…that in the event of any action which clearly threatened Polish independence and which the Polish Government accordingly considered it vital to resist with their national forces, His Majesty’s Government would feel themselves bound at once to lend the Polish Government all support in their power. They have given the Polish Government an assurance to that effect.” (Sources: Barnett, Correlli, The Collapse of British Power, New York: William Morrow, 1972, p. 560; see also Taylor, A.J.P., The Origins of the Second World War, New York: Simon & Schuster, 1961, p. 211).

    Hitler regarded a German-Polish agreement as a highly welcome alternative to a German-Polish war. However, no further negotiations for a German-Polish agreement occurred after the British guarantee to Poland for the simple reason that Józef Beck refused to negotiate. Beck ignored repeated German suggestions for further negotiations. Beck knew perfectly well that British Foreign Minister Halifax hoped to accomplish the complete destruction of Germany. Halifax had considered an Anglo-German war inevitable since 1936, and Britain’s anti-German policy was made public with Chamberlain’s speech on March 17, 1939. Halifax discouraged German-Polish negotiations because he was counting on Poland to provide the pretext for a British preventive war against Germany. (Source: Hoggan, David L., The Forced War: When Peaceful Revision Failed, Costa Mesa, CA: Institute for Historical Review, 1989, pp. 355, 357).

    The Germans in Poland were subjected to increasing doses of violence from the dominant Poles. The British public was told repeatedly that the grievances of the German minority in Poland were largely imaginary. The average British citizen was completely unaware of the terror and fear of death that stalked these Germans in Poland. Ultimately, many thousands of Germans in Poland paid for the crisis with their lives. They were among the first victims of Halifax’s war policy against Germany. (Source: Ibid., p. 387).

    Then why did Chamberlain and Halifax engage in secret talks with Germany to resolve their disputes in July and August 1939?

    “…The industrialist Lord Aberconway, longtime chairman of both John Brown, the Clydeside shipbuilding firm, and English China Clays, and also a master-gardener, has died aged 89. Three years ago, he belatedly unburdened himself of a 60-year-old guilty secret.

    He told the Tory historian Andrew Roberts that, as a 26-year-old, he had been one of seven British businessmen dispatched secretly by Neville Chamberlain’s pro-appeasement government to try to stop an Anglo-German war over Poland.

    Three weeks before the war
    the seven made their separate ways to the island of Sylt off the German coast, to meet Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering. Their purpose was to offer a “second Munich†– a four-power agreement involving Britain, Germany, France and Italy – to make further concessions to German demands for lebensraum, on condition that the Nazis did not invade Poland.

    This offer, authorised by the leading appeaser, Chamberlain’s Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax, came as a shock to Halifax’s biographer Roberts, who had not found any reference to this last-minute offer in either Foreign Office documents or Halifax’s private papers. Aberconway backed his claims by showing Roberts 38 pages of documents…â€

    https://www.theguardian.com/news/2003/feb/06/guardianobituaries.obituaries

    “…The efforts of the Chamberlain group to continue the policy of appeasement by making economic and other concessions to Germany and their efforts to get Hitler to agree to a four-power pact form one of the most shameful episodes in the history of recent British diplomacy. These negotiations were chiefly conducted through Sir Horace Wilson and consisted chiefly of offers of colonial bribes and other concessions to Germany. These offers were either rejected or ignored by the Nazis…

    From your answer, I’m not sure you have read Flynn’s January 5, 1938 column. It cannot be Ron Unz’s source for his statement of an alleged Roosevelt shift of focus to Germany. Flynn is talking only about the China-Japan war and a possible American involvement in it.

    Sorry for not replying sooner, but I was distracted by Middle East developments.

    Just read the bottom 1/3 of that January 1938 column. Flynn is informing his shocked and disbelieving TNR readers that FDR is planning to embroil our country in a major foreign war for political/economic reasons and will massively ramp-up military spending along the way, which is exactly what soon happened. FDR had decided on “military Keysianism” as the solution to his country’s insurmountable economic problems.

    In his book published several years later, Flynn revealed that he’d gotten this information directly from a top FDR aide, and expanded on the material in his TNR column. Here are the crucial paragraphs from the end of Book Two, Chapter 6:

    In January, 1938, I talked with one of the President’s most intimate advisers. I asked him if the President knew we were in a depression. He said that of course he did. I asked what the President proposed to do. He answered: “Resume spending.†I then suggested he would find difficulty in getting objects on which the federal government could spend. He said he knew that. What, then, I asked, will the President spend on? He laughed and replied in a single word: “Battleships.†I asked why. He said: “You know we are going to have a war.†And when I asked whom we were going to fight he said “Japan†and when I asked where and what about, he said “in South America.†“Well,†I said, “you are moving logically there. If your only hope is spending and the only thing you have to spend on is national defense, then you have got to have an enemy to defend against and a war in prospect.â€

    Apparently the best hope of a war at that moment for popular consumption was with the Japs, who had just sunk the Panay, and as there was little chance of arousing the American people to fight around Japan, South America seemed a more likely battleground to stimulate our fears and emotions. There is nothing new about this. Kings and ministers have toyed with this device for ages and convinced themselves they were acting wisely and nobly.

    Thanks, that clarifies the source for the “top adviser” bit, which doesn’t appear in the column.

    > Hitler made a brief comment in Mein Kampf

    He made many programmatic statements about this, whether in Mein Kampf, the Second Book or multiple speeches and memos. The idea of acquiring living space for the Aryan race was a central aim of his career. David Irving certainly disputed this during the high points of his career.

    > It was not entirely the actions of Hitler and the occupation of Czechia on March 15, 1939, that set off the war.

    What the occupation of Czechia signified was that a replay of Munich over Danzig was now impossible. Anyone who watched how events played out in Czechoslovakia from September 29, 1937, to March 15, 1939, would have figured “Sure, now if we sign a similar agreement over Danzig on March 23, then by September 9 we can expect to see German forces roll towards Warsaw.” It would have been impossible for Chamberlain to tell Poland to accept such an agreement.

    > Hitler and the Polish ambassador were correct that U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was surrounded by numerous Jewish advisors.

    None of whom played any role at all in deciding Poland’s government against trying to reduplicate the Munich Agreement with Danzig now playing the part of the Sudetenland. It was Hitler’s t of Czechia which determined that.

    > Poland threatened Germany with a partial mobilization of her forces on March 23, 1939.

    So what? This was after German troops had occupied Czechia. It was a purely defensive move. Does Hoggan try claiming that Poland was planning to initiate a war by attacking Germany? They couldn’t do that, since British support depended on the contrary.

    —–
    I have the impression that Herr Hitler is still undecided, and anxious to avoid war and to hold his hand if he can do so without losing face. As there is a possibility of him not forcing the issue, it is evidently essential to give him no excuse for acting, whether or not conversations about Danzig at some future time may be possible.

    Even Roosevelt counseled Poland not to start any fighting.

    With this in mind I feel justified in suggesting that certain possible avenues of solution be considered…

    First, by direct negotiation;

    Second, by the submission of these controversies to an impartial arbitration in which they can both have confidence; or

    Third, that they agree to the solution of these controversies through the procedure of conciliation, selecting as a conciliator or moderator a national of one of the American Republics, which are all of them free from any connexion with, or participation in, European political affairs…

    Should you determine to attempt a solution by any of these methods you are assured of the earnest and complete sympathy of the United States and of their people. During exploration of the avenues I appeal to you, as I have likewise appealed to the Government of the German Reich, to agree to refrain from any positive act of hostility.

    — Roosevelt to the President of Poland, August 24, 1939, ibid, pp. 183-4.

    No one on the Allied side had any illusions that they could get their own publics to support a war which Poland initiated against Germany. They knew very well that they had let Hitler make the first move. Any partial mobilization by the Polish forces after March 15, 1939, was simply to insure that they did not end up like Czechia.

    > Flynn is informing his shocked and disbelieving TNR readers that FDR is planning to embroil our country in a major foreign war for political/economic reasons and will massively ramp-up military spending

    And in a sufficiently broad generic sense, that statement was undoubtedly true. Of course, as Ian Kershaw documents in Hitler: 1889-1936 Hubris, the decision by Hitler to occupy the Rhine region in 1936 was also very much influenced by economic troubles in Germany. Food shortages and price inflations were hitting, and Hjalmar Schacht was insisting that German rearmament had gone far enough and now Germany needed to develop foreign trade. Hitler rejected Schacht’s emphasis on developing an export industry and maintained that Germany needed to be preparing to take the living space in the east. But he was increasingly pressured to produce quick results. That led to a chain of increasing confrontations in 1936-9.

    But not many people would dispute that Roosevelt benefited from the demands created by a war, and was likely thinking along such lines in 1937 when he gave his “quarantine the aggressors” speech. The reality remains that Poland did not refuse to repeat the Munich deal over Danzig because of anything that Roosevelt said. They refused this because they saw how Czechoslovakia ended up after March 1939.

    Columnist John T. Flynn’s “powerful evidence†(‘Other People’s Money’ New Republic 5 Jan 1938):

    “I believe the President is pursuing an aggressive, provocative course directly opposite to that desired by the American people. I believe that if he is permitted to continue he will embroil this country in war…â€

    Twenty-four days earlier Imperial Japan sank the USS Panay and three other American ships (12 Dec 1937). Code decrypts proved it a deliberate act. Embarked on conquest from 1931, Japan lately butchered ±250,000 in the Battle of Shanghai (13 Aug – 26 Nov 1937). It raped and slaughtered tens of thousands more at Nanking, before intentionally attacking clearly marked American vessels, strafing lifeboats, killing five, wounding forty-eight. Flynn’s reaction? Blame FDR. He continues with four “absolutely true†statements “no one will believeâ€:

    1. “The President is preparing to lead the country into a vast program of armament as a means of spending money to avert another depression – houses for the dogs of war rather than the mutts of peace.â€
    2. “He is preparing deliberately to sell to this country a war scare as a prelude to the armament program.â€
    3. “He is attempting to shift the psychological reactions of the nation to the patriotic motif in order to distract attention from the disintegrating domestic situation.â€
    4. “One reason for this is to build up the attitude embodied in the slogan “Stand by the President…â€

    Flynn doesn’t question, let alone explain, Imperial Japan’s attack on the Panay or the killing of hundreds of thousands. He doesn’t mention the Axis terror-bombing of Madrid (23-24 Oct & 19-23 Nov 1936), Durango (31 May 1937) or Guernica (26 April 1937), another conflict claiming hundreds of thousands. His opinion – which “no one had ever noticed…beforeâ€- is a banal isolationist op-ed. “Powerful evidence†of how deep in sand a columnist can bury his head.

    A decade later ‘The Roosevelt Myth’ (July 1948) revealed one of FDR’s “most intimate advisers†anticipated war with Japan. Hardly surprising: for all practical purposes it began with the sinking of the Panay in 1937. Still, four more years elapsed before Pearl Harbor. FDR’s budgets didn’t solve “insurmountable economic problems,†especially when compared to Axis military spending and ambition – subjects Flynn carefully avoids.

    The Wehrmacht rocketed to 4,722,000 men in 1939, while the US military totaled 334,000. German rearmament grew from 1.5% of national income in 1933 to 21.0% in 1938, income having doubled during the same period. The spending frenzy forced dissident Hjarmar Schacht’s resignation [26 Nov 1937]. Though plunder taken in Anschluß, Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia and Memel temporarily postponed war, by September 1939 nothing else would do.

    Flynn may have been “one of America’s most influential progressive columnistsâ€, but FDR won the 1940 election by 10 points, won again four years later. Seems Flynn wasn’t very influential after all. Certainly ‘The Roosevelt Myth’- smugly self-described as “a critical account of that episode in American politics known as the New Deal†– does little to boost his standing, save in fatuous sanctimony. He went on to avidly support Joseph McCarthy.

    Unz: “I then cited the statements of all the leading Polish, British, and American diplomats, drawn from their secret reports and later memoirs…â€

    Surely German and Italian sources are more fruitful. They candidly record Hitler’s unshakable resolve for war, served by peace terms never seriously intended, published hours before invasion.

    Unz: “it was FDR’s enormous pressure on Poland and Britain during 1939 that prevented a peaceful resolution of the Polish-German boundary dispute, thereby leading to the outbreak of World War II.â€

    Absolute Nonsense. One person ordered troops into Poland, and it wasn’t FDR.

    War with Britain and France was a disappointment for Hitler, but not a surprise: he ordered the Kriegsmarine to British sea lanes 19 August, 13 days before invasion. Hence U-30’s sinking of the passenger liner SS Athenia without warning, killing 128 civilians (including 28 Americans and 54 Canadians), hours after the declaration of war 3 September. Doubtless Flynn blamed FDR.
