It is only appropriate that today, on April 20, I give you a feel for the man, Adolf Hitler, who after more than half a century of global vilification and buckets of slime poured over his name like no other man's name, ever! on earth, can kindle emotions of purity, reverence and awe - much like a clean, blue flame that can pass through the worst kind of filth and not change its essence one bit.
This letter comes from a young man in South America who shared a bit of Hitler ideology with me, after describing a bit of his efforts:
"I'm a southern Brazilian with German, Italian and Portuguese ancestry (mainly German). I'm setting up a revisionist web page (http://abbc.com/ab) in Portuguese, for Portuguese-speaking persons who find it difficult to read English material or don't undertand it altogether.
I'll post a few personal texts, but mainly I wish it to be composed of translations. I'll also talk about other issues, namely the separatist feeling existent in the southern states of Brazil (which I support) and my "white" comments on it.
I use the pseudonym "Freiheit", to avoid possible persecution, and you know exactly what it means. I'm also the translator of the Portuguese section of Ahmed Rami's Radio Islam.
I'm currently finishing "Did Six Million Really Die? - The Booklet that Started It All". I've already translated the homage to Reinhold Elstner, the 66 Q/A on the Holocaust, and one of your best ZGrams, "PC Prayer Chants".
I'm already thinking, if possible, to put a section "The Best of Ingrid Rimland's ZGrams". Also, if you'd like to have the material yourself, you need just tell me.
Below I'm sending a news clipping from 1936, which I found and was startled. I believe you may like it.
May God bless you and protect you from the Zionists."
PRESS RELEASE BY UNITED PRESS
BERLIN, MARCH 28, 1936 - (U.P.) - A German may be tall, blonde and have a long skull and not be a Nordic; and again, he may be short, with brown eyes and curls, and yet be a Nordic, for in this country not looks, but actions, decide the race.
This is the latest criterion propagated by Nazi racial experts. It at once reveals the ramifications of the racial problem for the Nazi party among whose most eminent leaders even a well-meaning person will find it hard to detect one who, according to outward appearance, conforms to the Nordic ideal.
Fuehrer Adolf Hitler is dark. Paul Goebbels, minister of propaganda, is even more so. Hermann Goering, air force commander, although blonde and blue-eyed, is rather the "Falian" type. Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, director of the Reichsbank, is perhaps the only Nordic in the entire cabinet.
So far, the new criterion has been set forth most pointedly by Dr. Eugen Staehle, ministerial councillor in the Wuerttenberg Ministry of the Interior. His axioms, moreover, have been distributed as guidance to all Nazi district headquarters.
Writing in "Volksgesundheitswacht", the organ of the party's special committee for public health, Staehle explained:
"He who always struggles and makes sacrifices, he who without regard to himself devotes his entire strength in the party to the furtherance of as heroic aim, he who never shirks if a new honorary burden is added to his previous burdens, is a Nordic, no matter how he looks".
Without this spiritual attitude, blondness, blue eyes and the rest of outward attributes generally considered to make a Nordic, count for little. If they be the attributes of a man not belonging to the Nazi party, so much the worse. for, according to Staehle, "all the true Nordic people are already in the party, while those still outside are of inferior race even if they be tall, blonde and have long skulls."
Staehle also explains the "true" racial distinctions of other European races. Here they are:
"He who always carries a chip on his shoulder, who loves incense, ther crosier, and the pompousness of crowded churches, who advocated authority and totality only in the realm of church dogma, who like Tannhäuser, first sings the praise of sin and afterwards begs for remission and clemency, is Western, even if he has a mop of blonde hair on his head."
"He who anxiously clings to denomination and his thoughts in circling only around his own church spire, who when asked to buy a buttonhole for the Winter Relief wails: "What! Again 20 Pfennigs? Doesn't that sort of thing ever stop?" - who miserly keeps his pennies and democratically grouses about everything without himself doing better, is Eastern, even though his eyes be blue as cornflowers."
"He who always criticizes the government because his father used to do (for) tradition's sake, who carouses in hot beer halls, sings popular hits, drinks enormous quantities of the brew, and out of sheer goodwill breaks his neighbour's head by hitting him with a beer mug, is Dinarian, even though he has no peaked skull or aquiline nose."
"He who out of hatred inflicts wounds on an enemy and subsequently flows over with hypocritical repentence and piousness, who takes unemployment as something sent by fate and who at the most whines about it to higher powers, who yesterday yelled "Hail Moscow" and today as loudly cries "Hail Hitler", is East Baltic, and permanently needs a strong fist to keep him down lest treason spring from his deceptive racial soul."
"But he who destroys everything which is holy to others, who considers the flag a piece of red cloth with a white circle and something black in the center, who when he says "work" he means "business" and always wants to live in luxury by the sweat of others, is a Jewish Bolshevist."
So there. You might be a "Nazi" and not even know it. On the other hand, those who most loudly proclaim to be "Nazis" are as far from Third Reich ideology as our worst enemies would wish them to be.
Have a pensive 20th of April!
Ingrid
