Before Donald Trump, the sad history of when Christians anointed another political bully
Washington Post ^ | 2-22-2016 | Joseph Loconte

Posted on 02/22/2016 6:20:01 AM PST by Citizen Zed

Thus occurred the spectacle of the leader of the Christian church, on Christmas Day, in the great Basilica of St. Peter, placing a crown on the head of the king -- and prostrating himself in a Roman ritual resembling an act of emperor worship.

It didn't matter that Charles had multiple wives and mistresses. Nor did it trouble the pontiff that he had a reputation for ruthlessness, earned during his wars against the Saxons, a Germanic tribe of pagan worshipers. In 782, in the Massacre of Verden, Charles ordered the execution of 4,500 prisoners, apparently for their refusal to convert to Christianity.

Here was a political leader who knew how to get things done, who could get tough with the church's enemies, who could protect the empire from barbarian invaders. With the church on his side, he would restore Rome to its ancient glory. Sound familiar?

Thus evangelical voters joined other South Carolina Republicans in choosing Trump, by an 11 percent margin over his closest competitor, to "make America great again." According to a recent Bloomberg Poll, they believe Trump is the candidate most likely to "keep their family safe" and "would be most feared by America's enemies."

He did not repent for marrying Bathsheba he did repent for murdering her husband.
God chose her and her offspring as the rightful heir to the throne and her name is listed in the genealogy of Jesus Christ.

Thanks.

I sometimes worry I’m pushing too hard. But, once that weakness passes, I figure I’m actually not pushing hard enough.

To everything, there is a season, and if this ain’t the season to hate and tear apart, then there ain’t never gonna be one.

Please do. I posted it yesterday and have received tons of requests to keep posting it, but I know that can be annoying, so it is a bit of a concern, yet, I want to get the word out. So please post anywhere and everywhere, and implore others to do like wise. I am actually flattered and a bit embarrassed by the compliments I have been receiving.

The Kalergi Plan

In his book Praktischer Idealismus (Practical Idealism), Kalergi declared that the people of the future United States of Europe will not be the original peoples of the Old Continent, but a kind of bestial subhumans made by miscegenation. Kalergi stated in no uncertain terms that you must cross the peoples of Europe with Asian races and color, to create a multiethnic flock without quality and easily controllable by the ruling.

...The man of the future will be of mixed blood. The future Eurasian-Negroid race, very similar to the ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples, with a variety of personalities...

Austrian writer Gerd Honsik describes the essence of the Kalergi plan:

Kalergi proclaims the abolition of the right of self-determination and, subsequently, the elimination of nations by means of ethnic separatist movements or mass allogeneic (genetically dissimilar) immigration. In order for Europe to be mastered by the elite, homogeneous peoples are transformed into a mixed race of whites, blacks and Asians. Kalergi characterized these mestizos as cruel and unfaithful, and maintained that the elite must deliberately create the mestizos to achieve their own superiority.

The elite will first eliminate democracy... the rule of the people. Next, the elite will eliminate the people via miscegenation, thereby replacing the white race with an easily controllable mestizo race. By abolishing the principle of equality of all before the law, avoiding and punishing any criticism of minorities, and protecting the minorities with special laws, the masses are suppressed.

In his time, politicians hearkened to Kalergi — banks and the press were based on his ideas, while U.S. intelligence financed his projects. Europe’s political leaders know that Kalergi was the author of the European Union. Though unknown to the public and untaught in schools, Kalergi is the father of Maastricht and multiculturalism, which indoctrinate Europeans to tolerate and accept subhuman migrants.

Although no school book talks of Kalergi, his ideas were the guiding principles of today’s European Union. His belief that the peoples of Europe should be mixed with blacks and Asians to destroy European identity and create a single mestizo race, is the basis of our present policy of protecting and integrating minorities. Disguised as humanitarianism, this policy is aimed at the greatest genocide -of whites- in history.

Europes Coudenhove-Kalergi prize was created in his honor. Every two years, Europeans who excelled in pursuing Kalergis criminal plan are awarded the prize, among whom are the likes of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Herman Van Rompuy former Prime Minister of Belgium and the first President of the European Council...

The Coudenhove Kalergi Plan

Although no textbook mentions Kalergi, his ideas are the guiding principles of the European Union. The belief that the peoples of Europe should be mixed with Africans and Asians, to destroy our identity and create a single mestizo race, is the basis of all community policies that aim to protect minorities. Not for humanitarian reasons, but because of the directives issued by the ruthless Regime that machinates the greatest genocide in history. The Coudenhove-Kalergi European Prize is awarded every two years to Europeans who have excelled in promoting this criminal plan. Among those awarded with such a prize are Angela Merkel and Herman Van Rompuy... ~~~

Richard Nikolaus von Coudenhove-Kalergi

He was the first recipient of the Charlemagne Prize in 1950. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Died 27 July 1972 (aged 77) Schruns Richard Nikolaus Eijiro, Count of Coudenhove-Kalergi[1] (November 16, 1894 – July 27, 1972) was an Austrian-Japanese politician, philosopher and count of Coudenhove-Kalergi. A pioneer of European integration, he served as the founding president of the Paneuropean Union for 49 years. His parents were Heinrich von Coudenhove-Kalergi, an Austro-Hungarian diplomat, and Mitsuko Aoyama, the daughter of an oil merchant, antiques-dealer, and huge landowner family in Tokyo.[2] His childhood name in Japan was Aoyama Eijiro. He became a Czechoslovak citizen in 1919 and then took French nationality from 1939 until his death.

Thank you for your excellent post. Chilling information about Kalergi and how the elites are forcing the invasion on us. The Coudenhove-Kalergi plan lays it all out - the planned destruction of Western Civilization.

The Western Sprin site is interesting and has the The Coudenhove-Kalergi plan – The genocide of the Peoples of Europe. Coming to the USA soon. . . unless we stop it!

Rebel and Resist!

from your link: The incitement to genocide, is also the basis of the constant appeals of the United Nations, that demands we accept millions of immigrants to help with the low birth rates of the EU. According to a report published on January 2000 in «Population division» Review of the United Nations in New York, under the title “Immigration replacement: A solution to declining and aging population,” Europe will need by 2025 159,000,000 migrants. One could wonder how there can be such accuracy on the estimates of immigration, although it was not a premeditated plan. It is certain that the low birth rate could easily be reversed with appropriate measures to support families. It is just as clear that it is the contribution of foreign genes do not protect our genetic heritage, but that it enables their disappearance. The sole purpose of these measures is to completely distort our people, to turn them into a group of people without national, historical and cultural cohesion. In short, the policies of the Kalergi plan was and still is, the basis of official government policies aimed at genocide of the Peoples of Europe, through mass immigration. G. Brock Chisholm, former director of the World Health Organization (OMS), proves that he has learned the lesson of Kalergi well when he says: “What people in all places have to do is to limit of birthrates and promote mixed marriages (between different races), this aims to create a single race in a world which will be directed by a central authority. ”

And there you have it. Another cult that promises the annihilation of millions through social engineering.

Thank you for your informative post.

Bears repeating:

"What people in all places have to do is to limit of birthrates and promote mixed marriages (between different races), this aims to create a single race in a world which will be directed by a central authority."

Is that not the goal of the United Nations...a cappuccino coloured, homogenized population living on a planet without any national identity, no borders, ruled by a Global Government that has control over absolutely everything...what and how much you eat, what you write and what you read, and what you are allowed to think and feel.

Coudenhove Kalergi wrote this dangerous garbage in 1927 - it lay dormant throughout the depression years and WW2, when his then chosen elite - who appear to have had little input - were slaughtered by the Nazis. Re-invigorated in 1950 as the result of his receipt of the Charlemagne Prize - it seems his twisted theory was taken up as some sort of panacea by the anti-war movement. How or why he was chosen (or who by) escapes me. It reads like a recipe for genocide on a grand scale.

The sponsors promote that the Charlemagne Prize is not only an expression of gratitude for lasting services for the unity of Europe, but also an encouragement and an expression of hopes and expectations directed towards the future. They quote Kurt Pfeiffer: “the Charlemagne Prize reaches into the future, and at the same time it embodies an obligation - an obligation of the highest ethical value. It is directed at a voluntary union of the European peoples without constraint, so that in their newfound strength they may defend the highest earthly goods - freedom, humanity and peace - and safeguard the future of their children and children’s children.”

How would one reconcile the Coudenhove Kalergi thesis with the award of the first Charlemagne Prize in 1950?

excerpt of translation from PRACTICAL IDEALISM, written in 1925 and published in 1927.

~~~

From the European quantity-people, who only belief in numbers, the mass, two quality races rise up: blood aristocracy and Jewry.

Separate from each other both of them stick to their belief in their higher mission, of their better blood, in the different ranks of the people.

In both of these heterogenic merited races lies the core of the European nobility of the future: in the feudal blood aristocracy, as far as it did not let itself be corrupted by the farm, in the Jewish spiritual aristocracy as far as it did not let itself be corrupted by money [capitalism].

As guarantee for a better future a small rest of the morally high standing rustic [country-style] aristocracy and a small battle group of revolutionary intelligentsia remains.

Here the conformity between Lenin, the man from the lower country aristocracy, and Trotsky, the Jewish literate grows into a symbol: here the contrasts in character and spirit, from squire and literate, from country dwellers and the urbane, heathen and Christian people join into a creative synthesis of revolutionary aristocracy.

One step foreword in the spiritual sense would suffice to place the best elements of blood nobility, who in the country have protected their physical and moral health from the depraving influence of the farm scent, at the service of the new liberation...

~~~

I suggest the man was insane. He sounds a lot like Nietzsche. Syphilus attacking the brain.

Posting for the record, I had considered posting a stand-alone article on FR but it is Europe and no one so far has shown any interest.

PRACTICAL IDEALISM

Forbidden in Germany

Hidden by the European Movement

This book has probably not been printed in many copies, since it is very hard to get hold of a printed copy today.
In Germany the book is practically censored, even though it is not on the official list of books censored by the German government, it is not possible to buy it in any bookstores in Germany, neither new nor used.

When the publishing company ‘Independent News’ [Unabhängige Nachrichten] around 1990 published a summary of the book and contemplated printing it in it’s entirety, the government initiated a police search of the premises, and the only copy of Praktischer Idealismus was confiscated.

The book is also not mentioned on the official Internet pages of the Pan European Movement, which is understandable because its content is directly in opposition to the movement’s official program. The question is how this discrepancy originated: Was the Pan European Movement hijacked? Or was Praktischer Idealismus only meant for the few in the inner circles, and all the talk of Christian values, democracy etc. only empty rhetoric? Translated from Danish Wikipedia article

https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praktischer_Idealismus

For example:

DANISH

Her taler han altså helt med samme mund som Adolf Hitler, og det er slet ikke usandsynlig at Adolf Hitler har hentet betydelig inspiration hos grev Coudenhove-Kalergi, selv om de på en række punkter var de bitreste fjender.

ENGLISH

Here he speaks so completely with the same foot as Adolf Hitler, and it is not unlikely that Adolf Hitler has drawn considerable inspiration of Count Coudenhove-Kalergi, although a number of points were the bitterest enemies.
