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.
