If only Goebbels had TV
As World War II was coming to a close and it was clear that the 3rd Reich would be defeated, Nazi leaders and handlers, having the privilege of communication with the other side, negotiated a new future in western countries. More than 10,000 of these officers came to America and a chilling account can be found in The Nazi Next Door: How America Became a Safe Haven for Hitler’s Men, by Eric Licthbau. Many of Americas leading scientists and theorists were provided via Operation Paperclip – a taxpayer funded service to implant 3rd Reich masterminds into the American elite structures of society. Without too much nuance, many more settled throughout the Monroe Doctrine areas of the USA in countries of Latin and South America, most famously in Argentina, but in Cuba as well. Why were these enemies given positions of authority and power in America? Is this why the ‘guilty’ parties at Nuremburg had to be hung?
It's fair to think that many people in the world and even Germans inside of Germany could honestly say they didn’t know about Nazi genocide and atrocities at the time they were happening. In war, truth is the first victim, and even then, news sources were reports which had to be verified, which made them limited and dated. While propaganda certainly existed, and there are many cases of blatantly false reports used to create public opinion, news services had greater journalistic integrity in the day as to reporting facts. Most news was rather dated, especially during war, so people had an understanding of the world independent of media influence. People, not organizations, were of influence, as there were Chaplins and Lindberghs about.
In terms of propaganda, Goebbels was the Eddie Bernays of Europe on steroids. Even Jews recount the decisions to get onto trains that were headed to the gas chambers. Though many warned against leaving, the promise of liberation from Nazi hell, was comforting enough to risk death. Those on trains arrived with bags packed to human processing centers – run by staff who believed in what they were doing. Nazi film archives show the nonchalance of Nazis separating people, preparing for showers and piling dead bodies – some even laughing as they performed their tasks.
The real face of the Nazi, of the 3rd Reich, of all fascists to varying degrees – all of them – is protected by media which is a very important weapon of mind control. Of all the myths that have been fabricated by the Goebbels and Bernays of the world, none would prove greater than those that portray communists as threats that must be destroyed. It’s a thought that permeates western culture. It is the root of every enemy of the west, save now for those religious fanatics in the east. Today, if one was to poll Americans on whether Russia is a communist country or that communists controlled the country, well…the point is that this lie doesn’t seem to die, even when it is no longer true.
This myth, as the eugenics movement itself, originated in America. Near the turn of the 20th century, anarchists and communists spoke openly and began organizing workers. Early strikes and efforts to organize, though resisted, were still successful in forming powerful socialist and communist parties in America. The industrialist is definitely afraid of organized labor, and for those familiar with the history of labor unions in America – they can attest to the abuses and crimes against humanity performed by industrialists, with the help of Pinkertons and a free press. To many Americans, communists were uppity foreigners trying to put their rules on the free people of America.
The rise of communism
While the newly formed Soviet Union created a challenge for industrialists, they already had a head start on their campaign. American press and elites banded together to blame the assassination of McKinley on communists. The strikes and social disorder that followed was all the cause of communists. The Palmer raids of 1925 deported “communists” and disclosed wire-tapping of American citizens for the first time – the fight against communism justified any means as long as the end result was the defeat of communism. A position, by the way, which drives current government policy in America (the ends justify the means). Calling one’s opponent a communist sympathizer or having communist members in one’s company was enough to finish them off. J. Edgar Hoover was convinced in 1925, that mafia was not organized, and forwarded vocally that communists were a threat to America and needed to be destroyed. Such was the view of all American fascists.
The stock market crash and the rise of fascist powers in Europe began to alter the narrative. Roosevelt had to be very careful not to seem communistic with state sanctioned socialism, so equality and freedoms would still be denied to all those who were non-white. They were mostly communists, anyway. Voters stayed with the white-supremacists and the southern vote went democratic without exception. New opportunities were only for “white” Americans, even the military was segregated.
The Nazi party and American fascists were doing well no matter government policy. People in American did not want to enter World War II. Not just because they felt unconnected to it, but also because America was divided – many of them were communists or at least detested both Hitler and Stalin. Germany declared war on America, that’s officially how America became the enemy of Germany, even though American companies and bankers (one a father and grandfather of two US presidents) continued economic ties with Hitler.
Fight the good fight
For nearly three years, England burned, while the Americans provided limited assistance. This was to be expected, as it was the same America, the same president, who sold the Republicans of Spain out. Media was different then. Sometimes pictures could be seen of events that had happened in newsreels, but TV hadn’t become accessible. People read the newspaper and they read books. Many great writers were in Spain following the Great War – Hemingway, Wharton, Dos Passos, to name a few. These independent writers and others inspired millions from all over the planet to come to the rescue of Republican forces – that were mainly communist or some form of anarchistic explanation that viewed government in a completely different way than the industrial west. They didn’t come to fight for communists, they came despite this label. They came to fight the righteous fight of good versus evil, and they knew it. They knew it with every bone in their body and with every smiling face from comrades in faith as they ventured into battle against a foe that wished to exterminate them because they were communists. It’s fair to say, that despite all the propaganda, there were many who could see through it and to the reality that was.
When Franco emerged victorious, he rounded up all communists and had them liquidated. Anyone who had ever opposed him was watched, jailed or removed. Franco stayed in power until 1975, unchallenged. His control and persecution of the Spanish people was abominable – but by that time, Americans were focused on trying to control Hitler – the Frankenstein’s monster of western industrialists. Remember western powers funded Adolf and propped him up into power to destroy the German communists of the north. Hitler had no plans to stop killing communists. As fascism militarized and began expanding, the industrialists threw Czechoslovakia under the bus and though going to war over Poland, did very little to support the Polish people. The Allied forces held up 10 German divisions on the western front while the Red Army defeated 200 divisions and the fascists. The Allied Army was no match for the Red Army, and Churchill knew it. Churchill wanted to begin a war with the Soviet Union immediately in 1945, but was held in check by a distrustful Stalin.
This was a very important time in propaganda as communists were clearly the main enemy, but Hitler was becoming more and more unpopular. Germans in America, while not being called out as communists, were victims of the then “woke” movement against alcohol. Many of them supported Hitler and liked what he was doing to clean the country of communist scum, and industrialists agreed. American fascists wanted Europe to be destroyed, but they also wanted to destroy and dissolve Russia as Hitler had promised to do, but proved unable. The Soviet Union fought Germany for three years waiting for the Allied powers to open a western front – three years.
The defeat of fascism
As the war was coming to a close, the narrative had to be created that the victors defeated fascism in Europe, even though they never did. The Soviet Union, did, however, defeat fascists and the Nazis, at least until their collapse in 1991. For Europeans, not only was Europe rebuilt by American taxpayers through the Marshall Plan, but nearly all the civil servants of the fascist times were reinstated to help manage the funds. It was as if nothing had happened in Germany, time to rebuild. The really high ups would never survive public scrutiny in Europe and so were given a new life in America (Operation Paperclip). While Europe lie in ruins, the war against the common man – the communist – would begin again.
Americans in August 1945 would drop two atomic bombs on Japan, not to end the war, but to scare the Soviets. B-52s would fly over the Soviet Union daily and leaked plans showed of a first strike by America using nuclear weapons against all major cities of the Soviet Union – at a time when the Soviet Union still did not have the bomb. Americans were taught to fear communists. One weapon of the fascist is to accuse the other of exactly what one is doing which is pervasive in western media today. McCarthyism and the outlawing of communists would make it morally wrong to be communist. Constant support of right-wing dictators would follow in Iran, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Cuba and Chile to name a few. War on communists would be fought in American and abroad. Once again, politicians need only refer to the enemy as “communist.” The red carpet would be rolled out to the merchants of death and the jackals of perpetual purgatory.
The war in Vietnam was one such war, until it wasn’t. Independent journalists covering the war and Walter Cronkite’s critique of indiscriminate murder changed the affair and the anti-war movement pressed for an end to war, but no one was held accountable. The anti-war movement was not very well organized for an end-game scenario. For those Nazis of the deep state, the next war would never allow independent journalists and news stations to provide counter-propaganda, which is still called “truth” in some circles, even today. Looking back on the fallacies of the Vietnam war, very few are apt to blame fascists outright – though this is the only actor that must be blamed. Nixon was impeached, the war ended and communists won. The American soldier would bear the brunt of shame at not only being a war criminal, but a loser who let communists win. And like so many wars, after the smoke clears and the war crimes are verified, no American general or politician went to jail for their crimes against humanity.
Military doctrines slowly changed while the west benefitted from the power of media, and especially TV. In the 1950s, America was the number one supplier of television sets in the world. Nearly every household had a TV by 1955. TV programs all fed the same basic narrative of the common American middle-class member who was kind, courteous and concerned (and oh so sparkling white and clean!). The fascist defeat in the 1970s, due to counter-propaganda, taught them how to be successful in the future. It is the reason that all American wars are televised by approved channels and that imbedded reporters are separated from action until it is deemed “safe” for them to report. “Safe” meaning, safe for the American household to consume.
Shock and Awe
Americans loved the spectacle. Armchair fascists, that had been hatched from fast-food watered-down educational institutions that paid homage to living the American dream, learned how to espouse hate on social media. It was a dream for them. The enemy was so clearly evil and the American so clearly in the right. “Kill them all and let God sort it out.” Protests were few and did not even compare to the anti-war movement of the 1960s and 70s. Demonstrators were not cool; most likely commies. Precedents were set. Over reach and corruption became the norm.
Bit-by-bit, the rights Americans had enjoyed for many decades began to erode. Being rich meant that one was successful. Rich is good and poor is bad. It’s hard for a communist to understand that basic reality of the modern-day fascist ideology. It’s why they aren’t invited to all the suave parties thrown by arms dealers and other fascists who parade their riches on social media because they are so cool.
Dinner with Andre
In the movie My Dinner with Andre, the current demise was foretold. People are not bored, but in fact, completely compromised and fully manipulated. And it’s true, the fascist masses are well beyond reason and will kill to keep their prison cells. It’s the way of many today, unfortunately.
Since 2012, when the NDAA (national defense authorization act) legalized the use of propaganda by Americans on Americans, (source) the world has not only lost time on the doomsday clock, but unwillingly, the common man (person) in America is adrift in mind control so sleek and subtle that he is not even aware. The Netflix movie Winter on Fire is a good example of sleek fascist propaganda. When one thinks of how public opinion was influenced by state actors implanted into news organizations through MK Ultra, it’s not hard to imagine how much more advanced the fascists have become in selling their wars and hate – and since 2012, in perfect secrecy. In essence, from 2012 onwards, the American mind has been weaponized and is still in play today.
No one wants to be bad. Children are born and behave with innocence and it can be said that all children are good. Fascist have warped the vision of good by promoting conflict and hatred. Distrust is a wonderful byproduct since it requires more police, more guns and more distrust to manage. Labor unions learned a long time ago to be non-violent, and while that meant turning the other cheek quite often, it avoided any military conflicts in say, a Ford factory or southern textile plant. Non-violence, a perceived weakness, was the only way they could survive against an intolerant, well-funded mob of idiots.
Today’s America has lost it’s way. From the words of Kollibri terre Sonnenblume that recall the growth of fascism to the callous racial discrimination of the west -- best voiced by Irishwoman Clare Daly. The fact that fascists cheer war crimes and that no one even thinks to hold Hunter Biden accountable for anything, in an election year, should really puzzle. It’s pretty much over for the common person, really. This is exactly what Goebbels would have created, in actuality, if only he had TV.
The solution
The Anti-War Movement must accelerate with earnest. All citizens must demand an immediate halt to all defense spending until a full inquiry has been completed as to how the military spends money to enslave, control and weaponize citizens — both domestically and internationally. This is war crime number one and the only way to stop it is to hold all responsible parties accountable for their actions, then and now. Anti-War Movement Party must field candidates at all levels of the next elections. Democrats and Republicans are fascists – never vote for any of them for any reason again. With few exceptions, they are all fascists and need to be confined until cleared of treason, amongst other charges. To find their crimes, just look into their stock trading and the trading of known associates.
Look at the young Americans rushing to fight the good war against Russia today. Look how the American government has bombed and killed more civilians in Iraq in three months of war than have died in the Ukrainian Civil War (2014-present) “…by the end of the major combat phase of the invasion period up to April 30, 2003, 7,419 civilians had been killed, primarily by U.S. air-and-ground forces.” Look how they were never compared to Hitler or sanctioned by world powers. Look at how much money leaves America to pay IMF loans that essentially rob citizens in other countries – a scam by fascist oligarchs like Joe Biden, Victoria Nuland and George Soros. It’s time to stop being robbed by elected officials. We can end this now.
Until citizens demand accountability and an end to corrupt military practices and spending, then failure will be the result. In today’s almost annihilated world, failure is no longer an option. Already, the fascist oligarchs of America Inc. have sown the seeds of an eventual downfall – one in which Eastern powers shift the financial, economic and energy futures away from the dollar; away from America. It may already be too late, but the re-emergence of a new America that has confined it’s fascists and teaches peace will be worth the set-back. None of our overseas bases are vital — bring them all back home.
Once the mass graves and the truth about Donbass comes out – including the bio labs – the western narrative that even many of my colleagues espouse indirectly, begins to unravel. Time is on Russia’s side and the western neo-con knows it. Zelensky is no Franco, though he wants to be. He allowed Banderas groups to march with torches through Kiev in January of this year, shortly before escalating the civil war in Donbass. Anyone telling you that the current Ukrainian regime is not fascist is either lying or ignorant. The world needs to de-nazify itself immediately.
Licthblau writes:
Jacob Biber, a Jew who survived the Nazi purge in the Ukraine, was among the masses confined in the American DP camp at Föhrenwald. “We felt like so much surplus junk,” Biber would write of his confinement, “human garbage which the governments of the world wished would somehow go away.”
The conditions faced by the survivors inside the Allied DP camps after Germany’s defeat that fateful spring of 1945 were revolting in their own right. What made their confinement even more unthinkable was that, all the while, their Nazi tormentors were scattering to the winds. With few obstacles in their path, thousands of Hitler’s helpers were heading to America, visas in hand, to start their lives anew. The flight of the Nazis, in the face of the survivors’ brutal treatment at the hands of their Allied rescuers, amounted to one final, damning indignity.
(Eric Lichtblau, The Nazis next door, chapter 7).
Today we must do more than look the other way. We must not only confront the enemy, but make sure to build a society that does not allow it to return. Fascists exist; they must be exposed and confined. They should not be part of our governments or public services.
