Cultural Currents: Dishonor to the Nation 

   Tom Richards

  "Cultural Currents: Dishonor to the Nation", in Nationalist Times, 
July 2004. p. 16.

  The establishment portrayal of WWII in retrospect has nothing to do 
with how it was viewed at the time. The purveyors of WWII mythology 
largely follow the methodology of the former Soviet communists - they 
delete all the prewar misgivings regarding the war and its actual 
consequences as incompatible with the media-created image with which 
they wish to replace it.

  Thus, WWII memorials and eulogies try to forget Charles Lindbergh, 
the America First Committee, and overwhelming opposition to getting 
involved in the war, the accumulating evidence that the attack on 
Pearl Harbor was a set-up, the vast purge of the military prior to 
the war to rid it of those officers who correctly feared a crusade on 
behalf of communism, the substantial fear of Jews as a pro-communist 
element which then permeated American society, the vested interest of 
FDR in using war to cure a Depression which his New Deal had failed 
to solve, and the penetration of the press by the vast British 
security coordination out of Rockefeller Center.

  WWII, in many senses was a religious war and, like all religious 
wars, the point of view of opponents of the war has been relegated to 
obscurity. WWII is now viewed as the war against Nazism, not the war 
for communism. WWII worshippers will, of course, claim that the US 
continued on to fight the Cold War afterwards. True enough, but for 
US intervention on the Soviet side in WWII, the Cold War never would 
have been necessary.

  WWII glorifiers implicitly argue that the old question, which was 
the greater threat Hitler's Germany or Stalin's Russia, was answered 
for all time by the fact that we chose Germany. That the US may have 
made the wrong choice as determined by the post-war course of events 
is a possibility they are not even prepared to consider.

  The "Heil WWII!" crowd makes much of purported Nazi "gas chambers" 
and a more dubious "6 million." But they are very silent on Operation 
Keelhaul and the murderous, mega-death expulsions of Germans in the 
east. They refer to an alleged German threat to cross the Atlantic 
but ignore all the global interventions from Korea and Vietnam to 
many lesser operations fought since to counter an international 
Marxist movement possessing all the real tentacles which Hitler's 
Germany did not.

  In adopting WWII as a state religion, these people have made the 
salvation of a small but extremely influential minority the test of 
their own conscience. In so doing, they forget their own massive 
crimes such as the murderous aerial bombings of civilians and the 
mass liquidation through starvation and exposure of Disarmed Enemy 
Forces (DEFs) after the war. They forget, too, the kangaroo courts 
they established for prosecuting losers' crimes only.

   In making WWII the Holy War to prosecute sins against Jews, they 
erase from the historical record the monstrous crimes of the Jews 
themselves in Soviet Russia. They delete the monstrous massacres of 
millions by Jewish commissars and, by implication, the very reason 
that the Germans and similar authoritarian regimes in Europe felt 
compelled to defend themselves against that threat. Worse than this, 
by converting the charge that "Jews created communism" into Nazi 
propaganda, they have camouflaged the fact that both the American 
State Department and the British Foreign Office reached essentially 
the same conclusion after WWI.

  In 1948, a small group of unoffending Arabs in Palestine became 
victims of WWII. Although they had absolutely nothing to do with it, 
a legend of Jewish extermination was used to drive them off their 
land and to give their homes, farm and property to an invading 
conqueror under the guise of moral equity.

  WWII memorials are much more than merely a selective editing of 
history. They are also a form of "ideological cleansing." They aim to 
eliminate disapproved ideas from American thought patterns. One of 
these thought patterns is "isolationism," a misnomer for the school 
of thought which holds that American foreign policy should be based 
on enlightened self-interest and benign neutrality, not righteous 
intervention in foreign conflicts.

  Today, the US is hated as never before in its history because of its 
misguided foreign interventions against "evil" - Iraq, Serbia, 
Somalia, etc. To oppose the Holy War Against Evil is the same thing 
as opposing the Holy War Against Hitler and places the heretic in the 
same odious intellectual purgatory.

  Theories of racial homogeneity and Nordic solidarity which were once 
unquestioned foundations of American society have all but been 
eliminated by WWII. Because the German National Socialists advocated 
racial homogeneity and racial upbreeding, Americans have been taught 
to feel shame that such ideas were once part of their national 
tradition. They have been taught, in essence, that racial pride 
equals "gas chambers."

  Because WWII is now in essence a "Holy War," the historical 
revisionist habit of viewing WWI and WWII as a continuum of the same 
struggle is now banned as an analytical model for respectable 
thought. One must not suppose that the same vested interests and 
forces which lied the US into the first war may have done the same in 
WWII. One must not suggest that the same Anglo-Zionist press control 
and diplomatic deals which played such a prominent role in entangling 
the US the first time may have done so a second time.

  Those who object to WWII memorials do not desire memorials to Adolf 
Hitler instead. They seek the restoration of a lost Republic, based 
on the sound traditions which made their country great. Those are not 
the traditions of foreign intervention nor the self pity of a 
self-chosen minority, but the traditions of neutrality and "America 
First!" Those are precisely the principles which are dishonored by 
every WWII and Holocaust Memorial Museum extant.
