Ever wonder

by xxx Tuesday, Oct. 08, 2002 at 12:27 PM

Those who forget history ...

Ever wonder how the German people could have gone along with a regime bent on world conquest and genocide? How a country so well-grounded in art, culture, philosophy, science, and rational thought could have so willingly subscribed to the machinations of a madman - a country where most of the intellectual elite and a large percentage of the everyday people considered Hitler a fool and regarded Mein Kampf as the illiterate ramblings of an idiot? How such a people could have been so enthusiastic in the pursuit of policies that most knew would ultimately destroy not only much of the world but their own country as well?

Now you know.

No secret

Its no secret why this happened.

The Germans were emboldened by the rest of the world's failure to oppose them. . . appeasement.

Had the French and British stepped in as soon as the Germans violated the Treaty of Versaille, how many millions of lives would have been spared?

They sat back, the Germans saw weakness, and reasoned "well, if no one is going to stop us. . ."

You're right, if we don't remember history, we will be doomed to repeat it.

If we do not respond aggressively to the forces of evil (the radical, militant Islamists and the murderous dictators), we will wind up paying the price down the road.

The radical Islamists have made no secret of their goals: to turn the world into a dar al Islam, a house of Islam. They seek to turn the governments of all of the world into Islamic governments. They want MORE governments like the Taliban and the house of Saud.

And they are willing to kill women and children to get it.

If you do not oppose these people, then you are helping them.

True Forces of evil...

by Anti-Fascist Tuesday, Oct. 08, 2002 at 10:38 PM

The REAL Axis of Evil the world must organize and stop to prevent a catastrophic repetition of history:

U.S.(George Bush)

U.K.(Tony Blair)

Israel(Arial Sharon)

The "radical Islamists" referred to above simply don't have the wealth, resources and weapons the REAL Axis of Evil does, or an imperialist/racist ideology of "manifest destiny" driving them to conquer the world at any cost(like Bush, Blair and Sharon do).

You mean

by T-Mex Tuesday, Oct. 08, 2002 at 11:09 PM

Like the way we "conquered" Iraq in 1991?

As in leaving Saddam in charge.

Or the way we "conquered" Germany and Japan?

By rebuilding both nations.

Maybe you're referring to the way we "conquered" Somalia. . .

by going there to feed starving children during a civil war.

Or Bosnia. . . we conquered the hell out of Bosnia. No wait. . . that didn't happen.

Its the same tired bs. The US is the black hat.

The 100 million who died at the hands of "progressives" in the USSR, China, Cambodia, etc., are true ghosts -- invisible and ignored.

Roots

by Sheepdog Friday, Oct. 11, 2002 at 2:58 AM



Greed.

WWII was a result of greed gone too far to fast. To pluck the fruit of total domination of the sheep of the field. Quite a few members of the flock still have a touch of dog or even wolf. And they fight back seeing the horror of corperatism triumphant smashing its way over the lives of people like you or me. So we ( the forces of “democracy”) managed to defeat with horrific loss and pain, the forces of fascism.

Much money was made. It was a good war, our kind of war. Lots of our guys never came home, much grief and bitterness flowed with the triumph of victory at its end. But strangely no one wanted to talk or hear about where the money to finance “ that lunatic corporal” had come from or our ham fisted approach to Imperial Japan’s annexation of territory near “our” ocean. Much money was made it was a good war one that gave California the gift of most of the fishing and agricultural assets of newly relocated Japanese Americans(to be compensated, of course at 1940$ property assessments values, decades later) available for sale at UNBELIEVABLE discounts to the joy of envious competing enterprises.

Fascism however never was in any danger. It got smarter, better technology and even tighter control over modes of communication and education. With our taxes It added more muscle and teeth. It gives us our extravagant (some of us) lifestyle. We are just in another greed feeding frenzy with the scraps and blooming blood of its attention now becoming too obvious to ignore. Now it's starting to feed more upon us. The world will not forgive us as a nation if we don’t stop this (their) nightmare.
