Truth Seeking Missile Circling the Globe in Defense of Truth, Justice & Freedom February 13, 2002 FIRE TWENTY-FIVE! The German Nakba MacKenzie Paine     It is February 13th again, the 57th anniversary of the Allied firebombing of Dresden, and as I soar through Cyberspace, keeping myself apprised of world events, my thoughts are reduced to that pathetic, mundane conclusion that the more things change, the more they stay the same.   Once upon a time, Germans were the evil enemy of the Zionists, an enemy that needed to be destroyed, annihilated, exterminated. Because of the holocaust, you ask? No, that hadn’t even been invented yet. The Zionists made their position clear when Zionist chief, Weizmann, declared that the Jews would stand with the “democracies” (England, France, etc.) at the war’s outbreak, partially because Germany’s elected government refused to tremble and quake before Zionist bullying. Big mistake. The Germans, of all people, know what happens when you stand your ground before the Jewish Zionist onslaught. You get murdered.   Fast forward 57 years and the Palestinians are suffering the same fate, for the same reason. Until recently, the favorite excuse for Israeli brutality had been the unique suffering of the Jews during the so-called holocaust. I bought the story for years and had agreed that the Jewish people needed their own homeland for security reasons. I swallowed the, “Land without a people for a people without a land” myth as easily as I swallow a chocolate kiss. But I finally learned the truth. The Palestinians are being ethnically cleansed because they refuse to tremble and quake, to abandon their culture, give up their land and disappear into thin air—fulfilling the Zionist claim that they were never there to begin with.   There has been one subtle change, however, during the past year. The Zionists are no longer clinging to the tattered holocaust story as justification for their evil. It doesn’t stand up anymore, except for those who still believe it. The Jewish Zionists knew that they had to come up with one heck of a whopper after WWII to distract the world from their own madness, and they did. But they had a sideshow going as well. While they were demonizing the Germans and bilking a guilt ridden Western world out of billions and billions of dollars, they were simultaneously destroying the image of Arabs in the same Western world. Arabs are not a people, an ancient culture, a world of their own choosing and own making. Arabs are terrorists---cockroaches that need to be exterminated.   We Americans have bought this story, too. So now, instead of sending our boys to annihilate the Germans, a half century later we’re sending them to annihilate the Arabs. We are the only ones left in the world who bow and scrape, tremble and quake, before the Zionist agenda. We’re starving Iraqi children, bombing Afghanistan villages and preparing to go after other terrorists, whether real or imagined. We’re sending our hard earned money to the Jewish Zionists so that they can maim, murder and massacre the terrorists of Palestine. We are so soaked with the blood of innocents that flies will lay their eggs on us and we will dutifully provide sustenance for the maggots.    We are well practiced.   The following essay was written one year ago, exactly. Much has changed since then. Most notably, at the United Nations conference in Durbin, South Africa, last August, Kofi Annan, UN Secretary General, told the Israelis and the Diaspora Jews to stop using the holocaust as an excuse for brutalizing the Palestinians. The Zionists knew the gig was up and quietly put the holocaust story in mothballs until it was safe to bring it out again. But then, coincidentally, September 11th changed our worldview yet again, giving the Zionists the perfect opportunity to slip into yet another chic role as victims, to continue their brutality as part of the “war on terrorism.” Like I said, the more things change, the more they stay the same.   Let’s now revisit one of our other crimes against humanity, perpetrated against innocents on behalf of our Zionist masters. Let us remember Dresden.   I Shall Remember Dresden by MacKenzie Paine February 13, 2001 What is the "Holocaust" and why is it "unique"? I ask because Great Britain recently celebrated a "Holocaust” Remembrance Day.  It was, apparently, a most moving day where Jewish survivors, a bit reluctantly, shared the stage with survivors of other episodes of brutality and tyranny. It is not objectionable, in my mind, to remember those who suffered and died during times of horror and destruction. It is objectionable however, in my mind, when our collective memory becomes selective. If we take the term "Holocaust" literally, it clearly no longer fits the Jewish experience during WWII. There were stories after the war, most notably told by Elie Wiesel, that part of Hitler's mass extermination program included throwing Jewish babies into great burning pits where they were roasted alive. This is today conceded, however, to have been a falsehood - and today's widely believed version of the story is that the Nazis murdered six million civilians in homicidal gas chambers, along with five million "others," for good measure. Therefore, the most common definition of the term holocaust—“death by fire”—no longer applies to the German concentration camp internees during WWII.  This is not to say that there was no "holocaust," because indeed there was,  if by “holocaust” we mean that Jews were put to suffering, and that many Jewish people died. What I, as an American, find odd though, is why the United States and Great Britain are seemingly inflicted by endless guilt for what the Nazis allegedly did on the European continent to European civilians, while not having the slightest recollection of our own brutalities.  If the "holocaust" was death by fire, and killing civilians is a crime against humanity, then our guilt is sorely misplaced and we're commemorating the wrong victims. In the heat of battle we committed our own sins. Please consider the following quotes, pertaining to Allied air raids, from a slender volume, first published in 1947, entitled Gruesome Harvest. (Reprinted in the 1970s Liberty Bell Publications) "All German cities above 50,000 population and many smaller ones were from 50 to 80 percent destroyed. Dresden, as big as Pittsburgh, was wiped out ... .Cologne, with a population of 750,000 was turned into a gigantic wasteland. Hamburg, with its 1,150,000 people, was blasted by huge attacks, in one of which the flames rolled a mile into the sky and roasted alive hundreds of thousands of civilians in street temperatures of 1,000 degrees.” (Associated Press, London, March 24, 1945) ”The two atom bombs dropped on Japan may have been more dramatic, but they could hardly have been more destructive than the millions of phosphorous, fire and block-buster bombs dropped on Germany.  Near the end the Allied forces were using 11-tonners which crews said caused their planes to bounce up over 500 feet when the huge 25 foot missiles were released, sending up ‘a tremendous pall of black smoke and a fountain of debris,’ which dwarfed the terrific explosions of the six-ton earthquake bombs. During the war more bombs were dropped on Berlin alone than  were released over the whole of England. So great was the ruin that General  Eisenhower was constrained to say,  "I have seen many great engineering jobs  during the war - such as the clearing of the port of Cherbourg - but I just wouldn't  know where to begin to rebuild Berlin."  (Gruesome Harvest, p. 4) I cannot begin to imagine how painful it must be for German survivors of our Allied firebombing - civilians who lost their babies or their parents in those fire storms - to have to sit quietly by while Great  Britain and the US continue, a half a century later, to condemn the Germans for "crimes against humanity." I suppose some will say that I am being too literal in my search for the "uniqueness" of the Jewish “Holocaust."  Perhaps the term is used figuratively.  If so, then we must examine additional aspects of this crime, other than the method of killing. Certainly one of the great injustices of the Nazi era was the rounding up of Jews for deportation to the concentration camps. We all know well the stories of Jews being uprooted by the Gestapo and packed onto cattle trains to be taken to the various camps.  The US has already apologized to our Japanese citizens and paid them reparations for our own uprooting and deporting of them to concentration camps in the Midwest, Arizona etc. during the war.  We, too, ignored our citizens’ constitutional rights to protection.  We, too, were guilty of civil rights violations. The Germans have paid more than $60 billion, not including those paid by individuals, as reparations to Jewish organizations, although certain individuals and Jewish organizations, such as the World Jewish Congress and various survivor organizations, complain that the Germans still haven't paid enough. A small, forbidden voice keeps asking: “Who is going to pay the Germans for their suffering and loss when they were rounded up, enslaved, starved to death or murdered?”   Or haven’t you heard that part of the story? Three months after V-E Day, when all the guns had fallen silent, Winston Churchill spoke of ". . . a tragedy on a prodigious scale . . . imposing itself behind the iron curtain which presently  divides Europe." It seems that he was on to something, as is suggested in the following quote: "Since the end of the war about 3,000,000 people, mostly women and children and overaged men, have been killed in eastern Germany and throughout south-eastern Europe; about 15,000,000 people have been deported or had to flee from their homelands and are on the road. About 25 percent of these people, over 3,000,000, have perished. About 4,000,000 men and women have been deported to eastern Europe and Russia as slaves. (Quoted by Sen. Homer Capehart in speech before US Senate, Feb. 5, 1946). We know of the tearful, frightening train rides endured by Jewish concentration camp deportees, shown over and over again in documentaries and major motion pictures like "Schindler's List."  Was this part of the Jewish experience unique?  I quote an American reporter describing a scene repeated a thousand times over: "Nine hundred and nine men, women and children dragged themselves and their luggage from a Russian railway train at Lehrter station today, after 11 days traveling in boxcars from Poland.  Red Army soldiers lifted 91 corpses from the train, while relatives shrieked and sobbed as their [loved ones'] bodies were piled in American lend-lease trucks and driven off for internment in a pit near a concentration camp. The refugee train was like a macabre Noah's ark. Every car was jammed with Germans. . .The families carry all  their earthly belongings in sacks, bags and tin trunks.  . .Nursing infants  suffer the most, as their mothers are unable to feed them, and frequently go insane as they watch their offspring die before their eyes." (Henry Wales, Berlin, Nov. 18, 1945, Chicago Tribune Press Service) When the war was over, it was over for the US and her Allies. It was over for the Jews. But the suffering of the German people had only begun. Millions worked as virtual slaves in Russia, France and Great Britain, some until the 1950's. Hundreds of thousands more died of disease and starvation in the carnage that was left of Germany. Orphaned children were homeless and lost, their lives forever shattered.  No one remembers these German civilian victims.  I know of no films about them.  There are no memorial museums or memorial days set aside to remember their suffering and their losses.  There is still the question in my mind as to the "uniqueness" of the Jewish  "Holocaust."  Perhaps the "uniqueness" isn't ascribed strictly to death, or to bondage, or to loss of ancestral land. Perhaps it is deemed unique because the alleged governmental goal of the "holocaust" was the extermination of an entire people? This would certainly be racism in its most violent form. Even allowing the thought to cross one's mind is evil. Civilized people should never allow it! Perhaps this is the common meaning of  "Never again!". Sadly, however,  "Never again!" only applies to Jews. No one invokes these words when remembering the near annihilation of the German people during and after WWII. Certainly, few would even dream of reminding certain people of this oft-used phrase when discussing the fate of the Palestinians in the Middle East, yet here is a quote from a Jerusalem newspaper from just last month. The author is a Russian Jew who writes for the largest Russian-language paper in Israel:  “The Russian language paper, Direct Speech, published in Jerusalem, asked hundreds of Russian Jews about their feelings towards the Palestinians. Typical answers were: ‘I would kill all Arabs,’ ‘All Arabs must be eliminated,’ ‘Arabs must be expelled,’ An Arab is an Arab. They have to be eliminated.’ I am not sure you would get better results in Germany in 1938. Even Nazis did not intend to kill their Jewish enemies until 1941. Let us put it straight, we were against racism so long as it was somebody else’s racism. We were against death squads and Sonderkommando as long as they acted against us. Our own killers, our Jewish Sonderkommando is the object of our tender admiration.  The Jewish state is the only place in the world possessing legitimate killer squads, embracing the policy of assassinations, practicing torture on a medieval scale. Do not worry, dear Jewish readers, we torture and assassinate Gentiles only.”  (The Handwriting on the Wall, Israel Shamir, Vesti, Jan. 23, 2001) So what are we left with when asking the question,  "What is the Jewish 'Holocaust’ and  why is it ‘unique’ as compared to all the others?”  It wasn't death by fire. It isn't the unique experience of having been denied civil rights and taken by cattle cars to concentration camps. It isn't specifically about civilian deaths and suffering, since so many millions of others shared the same fate. It cannot be about forced labor or loss of property. It cannot be about forced expulsions and loss of ancestral lands, since this was the fate of some 15 million Germans, and continues to be the miserable fate of Muslim and Christian Arabs today, at the hands of the Israelis. It cannot possibly be about institutionalized racism, since Israel's policies and mistreatment of the Palestinians far exceed any of Germany's laws and treatment of the Jews under Hitler. So what is so "unique"?  The "gassing" of the Jews? Shortly after the war ended, then Major Charles P. Larson, M.C., a pathologist in the employ of the US Army War Crimes Investigations Unit, was sent to Germany by the US War Department to perform autopsies on concentration camp inmates. He performed hundreds of autopsies on disinterred cadavers, determining death from starvation, typhus, pulmonary tuberculosis and other infectious diseases. He did not find any deaths due to gassing, even though it was widely rumored that the Nazis had gassed hundreds of thousands of civilians in the camps. There do not appear to be any autopsy reports whatsoever from any sources near or far which assign "gassing" as a cause of death in the concentration camps. February 13 is the fifty-sixth anniversary of the firebombing of Dresden – one of hundreds of genuine, German “holocausts” that took place during the war. While the American people believed that our boys were bombing military installations and infrastructure, the actual orders were to bomb civilian populations into oblivion. Genocide by fire.   I shall remember Dresden, with deep apology and prayers for forgiveness.                 ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a2iTMi.a2sqN1 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
