A friend of mine who is a famous keynoter has built a speech around a cop who stopped him at the border between the USA and Canada and asked the following:
"Where are you from? How did you get here? And where are you going?"
Good questions it behooves us all to take to heart and ponder. And never was there any better time for some real pondering than now.
In a previous ZGram I wrote:
". . . Those who are in our camp all share one common feature - we share an understanding that we have been deceived in the most vicious, cruel way about most anything pertaining to (WWII). About the Holocaust. About the German leader, Adolf Hitler. About the German soldier who threw himself against Bolshevism - a creed he called the Antichrist - about his powerfully compelling reasons why he felt there was no choice but to fight back, and hard. . . "
One of the never-ending joys of internetting is the thoughtful feedback of my readers. I know that what's "out there" in terms of quality of thought is first class all the way! We operate no longer in the Stone Age. Our enemies can yelp and shriek their smear words all they want about the movement being redneck, primitive and stupid-that may have worked B.C. Internet. Not any more. Not now.
Our comrades out there KNOW! They ask themselves: "Where are we from? How did we get here? And where are we going?"
Here is a glimpse:
". . . I'd just like to highlight the fact that postwar propaganda, while trashing the German people as the primary and most vulnerable and profitable targets, is equally harmful to the civilized world as a whole, and as a non-German I am sensitive to this and find the current unhealthy situation abhorrent.
This propaganda obscures and belittles the horrid consequences of the planetary bloodbath which was WW2, to which our leaders so frivolously and unconscionably contributed. It conceals the fact that this war permitted (nay, it positively _helped_) that monstrous creed, Communism, to nail down half the globe where it has perpetuated that bloodbath, to varying degrees, in the enclaves it controls.
Meanwhile, presumably to keep the faith with grievously mistaken, obscure decisions taken half a century ago and to please a powerful minority, western governments have all but shut down all discussion and concentrate instead on aggressively promoting an odious historical lie of Olympian proportions. This lie of the so-called Holocaust has affected the domestic and foreign policies of every country and most particularly those of the United States which are, for good or ill, the leaders of the western world. The lie has nourished conflicts in the Middle East and elsewhere from which, if recovery be possible at all, it will take many generations to do so.
The owners and operators of the lie, together with their parasitic toadies, continue to peacefully reap its benefits - although, it must be said, they do so today with signs of growing alarm.
By continuing to tolerate this vile situation, we are helping to set up a ghastly trap for our children: an insane world, a world governed by medieval dogma with its centerpiece - the lie.
It therefore behooves every right-thinking civilized person, not only those of German origin, to help expose this consummate evil that has contributed so much to degrading the world to where it is today. We should all support a healthy process of discovery of truth and of reconciliation between a truly free self-respecting German nation and those who, under the influence of this sordid, incessant propaganda barrage, still belittle that nation and wish it ill.
I see this as a very high order of priority, regardless of whether one is German or not, because the time is late: 50 years after the event! - and it is to the equal advantage of us all. It is an objective towards which we must all work together, in the interests of our children and ourselves. . . "
Here's what I want to know: Could there be a more powerful motive? Is there a way to quash that kind of growing understanding wherever people have a brain?
Let me tell you - I'll pin that kind of intellectual quality and knowledge of emotional necessity of struggle against those shop-worn smear words anytime!
