Der Untermensch
Nearly a century ago, the talk among many western elites and people of royal lineage was the general superiority of the western white person. In America, it surfaced quit vividly in the eugenics movement funded by the Vanderbilts through Yale University and other institutions of learning and research. In Europe, it surfaced in many fascist movements and leaders – Franco, Hitler, Petain, take your pick. Americans, especially American elites, were behind every evil empire of the time. Americans banked on it. They profited from the misery that it caused. Then they washed their hands in a story told by the victors. Much of that story served to obfuscate the connections of business, government and fascist ideology. It’s no accident that many national curriculum subjects — like Civics — were removed from high schools in America, for instance.
Many people don’t understand how fascists control entire populations. It was thought by many in Vichy France that Hitler never needed to invade. The Vichy regime was filled with French fascists who had no problem subjugating resistance elements and carrying the water of their German overlords. The communists were weak. They had to be weak to survive, but still weak. A militarized minority was more powerful than a divided majority.
The control of much of Ukraine by Nazi forces and fascist elements mirrors former times. Before the coup d’état that brought an interim leader and began the subjugation of Russian speakers, Ukrainians lived in relative peace with each other. In a close election, Viktor Yanukovych, was elected because most people voted for him. That is how democracies select leadership.
For those who witnessed the brutality of the Meidan, the truth was never really known until the leak of Victoria Nuland exposed what many had already suspected. The following violence and genocide were paid for by American taxpayers. Once again, America was funding extremist elements in a faraway land to further the interests of the military industrial complex. Despite pressure to stop supporting neo-Nazis in America, NATO managed to train, equip and provide logistical support to Nazis in Ukraine. NATO has it’s own rules.
All American leaders fed from the trough – though Bush Sr. rejected US involvement initially. Biden’s son, Hunter, was involved in corruption allegations in Ukraine as Biden himself threatened to deny a 1-billion-dollar aid package until the judge making inquiries into the corruption had been dismissed. It’s all on video, by the way.
The rise and subsequent civil war caused by real Nazis in Ukraine is still being ignored by the mainstream media which have deemed all Russians – der Untermensch. This can clearly be seen now as the European Union will ban Russia Today and Sputnik news agencies from broadcasting news in Europe. “(They) will not be allowed to propagandize in Europe,” Josep Borrell (EU head; paraphrased). All Russians are now victims of this cognitive war that brands them Untermensch and perpetuates the most cynical propaganda that Putin and the Russians are mad, insane, barbaric and devious. In reality, the military approach by Russia is quite the opposite of imperial western powers who think “shock and awe” looks good on TV – Ukraine is being spared such tactics by a world power of great common good, and the world will soon see this, well, if they ever bother to look.
It’s hard to imagine that Europe, this bastion of freedom and free press, will now censure opinions which do not draw the same conclusions that NATO leaders want people to believe. How long will the people of Europe allow the NATO-MIC (military-industrial complex) to control them and foster instability in the region – an instability that demands more guns, ammunition and enemies to manufacture?
How long? Will it take another war for the people of Europe to remember? The Kiev government are just handing arms over to the Nazis, and not neo-Nazis, these Nazis have always been there since Hitler. Hand-in-hand with the merchants of death are nearly every European politician and news service. They thought Hitler was cool, until he wasn’t. Zelensky was pretty funny at one time, though really he’s a war-criminal-wannabe in hiding. His desire to get the world involved in Ukraine is necessitated by the war crimes he is trying to cover up.

Europeans are smarter than this. Well, maybe not. One hundred years ago, most of Europe was fascist. Common workers supported communist and socialist parties and thought the fascists to be too insane to be taken seriously. The Nazis became the big kid on the block, but there was already the war in Spain and a firm grasp of society by fascists in Italy, Romania, Portugal and Hungary. Poor, unorganized anarchist and communists had the right spirit but would never have been able to stand up to the storm troopers of the master race. It was only a matter of time, as all governments in the world banded together to fight communism. Franco took four years to tour Spain and conquer all Republican elements. Fascists would command the lives of nearly everyone in Europe.
All of these evil developments were funded and orchestrated by banks in America, the US Government or wealthy US citizens. This is significant to know, not only for the fact of it, but to understand that these influxes of arms, money and support from afar were not easily visible to the common man. Local communities and even powerful areas were no match for this fascist uprising in Europe that was supported by the wealthiest elites, royalty and powerful governments. Able to observe and match escalation, many early situations would have come out differently, altering the course of history.
No one came to help the downtrodden in country after country. Even the Soviets sold the common man out at times, until they didn’t. While the Americans and allies glorify their efforts in World War II, it was the Russians that fought and destroyed the 3rd Reich. They fought more than 200 German divisions compared to 20 divisions fought in the west and lost more than 27 million people in the effort to destroy fascism. They know what their people died for. They, at least, have not forgotten a time when they were alone against leading fascist powers that were bent on destroying them. Russian soldiers have no fear of anything today as they feel righteous in their position. It’s amazing that the West cannot see that, but then again, the West is lost and under the thumb of the MIC and nearly a century of propaganda.
In 1935, Adolf Hitler put into law the Nuremburg Race Laws (The Reich Citizenship Law and The Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor). These laws and several others that followed began to define for the first time, in law, what had only been known as Untermensch (technically referred to as Jews, Roma and Slavs/Russians). The Olympics would be attended by all countries the next year in Berlin, and then the persecution of Untermensch would begin in 1936. The rest is history, and thankfully, people seem to remember (some of) that.
Well, maybe not. In 2021, newly elected president of Ukraine, Victor Zelensky, signed into law, the Ukrainian race laws identical in approach and intent to the Nuremburg Race Laws, only naming Russian speakers and ethnicity as being non-Ukrainian. The practice of dehumanizing Russian speaking Ukrainians had already begun prior to the Meidan as a civil war and persecution of all Russians in Ukraine followed the coup d’état which was led by the USA through Nazi elements. Labelling all separatists as “terrorists,” it was easy to use the military to remove them from their homes and lands in 2014.
The EU/NATO has lost its way. While the military operation by the Russian military in Ukraine has been condemned and sanctions levied, EU states immediately moved to deposit even more weapons into the region. They categorically ignore all the atrocities of the Azov battalion and never cared that all those “defensive” weapons provided over the past eight years have been used to kill civilians, and only civilians. For eight years, no one gave a damn about the Untermensch. NATO, and by default, the EU, along with their master, the USA, are complicit in Ukrainian affairs and are responsible for the tragedies that have unfolded. Their cynical response is to feed the fires, pump fake news and censure anyone who disagrees. Europeans really have no control of NATO or the EU, though they live there, and will suffer should the war escalate. They already suffer now and are told to prepare to suffer more.
Europeans need to wake up. Appeasing Hitler was a mistake? Then Europe must stop appeasing the NATO overlord – the United States of America and the MIC that rules it. Stand up before it is too late. Stand up and demand an end to the charade. Employ a consciousness of world peace and understanding. Demand it from your leaders. If Europe does not force change in leadership and direction, it will fail, which seems to be by policy design as many green voters want to see societies ween themselves from fossil fuels.
Ukrainians don’t need any more weapons. They never did. Only idiots believe that more weapons in the hands of desperate people solves anything.
All people need to be treated fairly and with respect.
Give peace a chance.
