Skewering Time; First of a Series

Where were YOUR ancestors while this was happening?
The world's treatment of the Jews during WWII was absolutely appalling, on a par with that of the Nazis themselves.

The Catholic church was a major contributor to anti-semitism and wept crocodile tears while watching millions of Jews being dragged off to the slaughter.

Countries turned away ships full of escaping Jews who had nowhere to turn and in some cases they were forced to go back to Germany. England imposed strict quotas on the numbers of Jews allowed into Palestine and America wasn't much better.

The amazing hypocrisy of the United States to intern whole rafts of Japanese Americans while confiscating their property yet doing nothing of the sort with the German Americans is breathtaking in its cynicism.

Basically, the rest of the world looked on as the Jews burned -- the so-called "Good War" was only good if you were white and American or British.

And after the war, the Catholic church provided many, many vicious animals like the Kommandant of Treblinka, Franz Stangl with "ratlines" to third countries, issuing them with false papers, which is why so many human butchers ended up in places like Uruguay and Argentina. Josef Mengele, for one, Adolf Eichmann for two.

Still worship the Catholic God? Well, they just switched from protecting vicious, mass-murdering  Nazis to abusing small children -- no major difference in levels of barbarity.

The whole of the Allied world was fully aware of the death camps but they did nothing to intervene whatsoever and indeed, aided the Nazis in the extermination by making it so difficult for the Jews to find a place to hide.

According to Wikipedia:

"Antisemitism in the United States reached its peak during the 1920s and 1930s. The pioneer automobile manufacturer Henry Ford propagated antisemitic ideas in his newspaper The Dearborn Independent. During the 1940s, the pioneer aviator Charles Lindbergh and many other prominent Americans led the America First Committee in opposing any involvement in the war against fascism. Following a visit to Germany in 1936, Lindbergh (that fucking slimeball) wrote: "While I still have my reservations, I have come away with great admiration for the German people... Hitler must have far more vision and character than I thought… With all the things we criticize he is undoubtedly a great man…" 

Forget Rwanda. Almost the entire world was responsible for the Holocaust, and it's extremely convenient to forget that little detail when we examine the shameful history of the behavior of the Allies.

Here's a "heroic" account of one of the Allies' stunts (that's you and me, people, unless you're Nazis):

"The MS St. Louis was a German ocean liner most notable for a single voyage in 1939, in which her captain, Gustav Schröder, tried to find homes for 937 German Jewish refugees after they were denied entry to Cuba, the United States and Canada, until finally accepted to various countries of Europe. Historians have estimated that, after their return to Europe, approximately a quarter of the ship's passengers died in concentration camps."

What the world tends to forget is that the physicists who made up the bulk of the team at Los Alamos and who basically invented the atomic bomb and stopped WWII were primarily European-Jewish émigrés, such as Leo Szilard, a Hungarian Jew who first proposed to Einstein that he write to President Roosevelt and raise the alarm the the Germans might get the atomic bomb first.

IF NOT FOR THESE PEOPLE WE WOULD ALL BE SPEAKING GERMAN, JAPANESE OR BOTH.

As much as I despise the Japanese for their role in the war, it can't be said that it hunted down and mercilessly exterminated the members of any particular ethnic group, unless, of course you happen to be Chinese or Korean.

Take a GOOD LOOK at this documentary, and PLEASE BUY IT so that it will support the makers and keep spreading the message:


Listen especially the words of Niklas Frank, son of Hans Frank, the human demon sent personally from Hell who was the Governor-General of Poland during the war, who was once quoted as saying "But what should we do with the Jews? Do you think they will be settled in Ostland, in villages? We were told in Berlin, 'Why all this bother? We can do nothing with them either in Ostland or in the Reichskommissariat. So liquidate them yourselves.' Gentlemen, I must ask you to rid yourself of all feelings of pity. We must annihilate the Jews wherever we find them and whenever it is possible."

I for one will not let this rest. I'm not Jewish, Catholic or any religion and the only connection I have with WWII is that my father proudly BOMBED THE FUCK out of the Nazis and probably had a lot of fun doing it, to which of course he would never have admitted.

So what the fuck does all this have to do with YOU, you ask?

Well, in less than ten years the last survivors of the Holocaust, who were only little children back then, will all be dead. The will be no one left alive to be able to say, "I was there."

And you should carry the responsibility for their sufferings along with you until YOUR last breaths.

But don't worry, lest you forget, I will always be here to tirelessly remind you.

  1. "Never again" were not idle words. It behooves us to remember them.

  2. By the time this generation is in its teens, no one will be alive to remind them. It will be as real to them as the War of 1812.
