THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON by Rudyard Kipling

It was not part of their blood, It came to them very late, With long arrears to make good, When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved, They were icy -- willing to wait Till every count should be proved, Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low. Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd. It was not taught by the state. No man spoke it aloud When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddently bred. It will not swiftly abate. Through the chilled years ahead, When Time shall count from the date That the Saxon began to hate.

So when are they going to wake up? The alarm’s been going off for decades now.

Kipling was a bit of a Germanophobe, perhaps in part because his son was killed in 1915 at the tender age of 18, during WWI, in action against Germany. He released this poem in 1917:


The Beginnings
Rudyard Kipling

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
When the English began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy-willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the English began to hate.

Their voices were even and low,
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show,
When the English began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd,
It was not taught by the State.
No man spoke it aloud,
When the English began to hate.

It was not suddenly bred,
It will not swiftly abate,
Through the chill years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the English began to hate.


To the extent that the Brits hated the Huns, it was fairly mild relative to the sentiment that the Germans expressed through their actions, via the extermination of millions of Jews, gypsies and Slavs. Frankly, it was downright moderate, given that an eye for an eye vengeance, with the usual add-on for losing the war, would have seen the German population erased from the earth.

My daughter went to a University with the Saxon as their mascot. We were laughing the other day about how long THAT is going to last.

LOL, well I'm one of them.   My family would have been a bit higher class if the Normans hadn't come along.

The Germans and th Japanese should both thank their gods that they were defeated by Christian nations, although I do remember a quote from an American Navy man saying that when he was finished the only place they would speak Japanese is in hell.

I will say that in some quarters, British antipathy to Germans remained strong a couple of decades ago. A French flight carrying a bunch of Germans had crashed. When the bare outline of the incident came out, it was assumed that the airline and victims were British, and a mournful hush came over this crowd of British acquaintances. Then it came out that the passengers were German and the airline was French, triggering a wave of almost celebratory laughter.

As long as people completely understand where this Leftist movement is headed, and what it will mean to each and every family across America, this will go away. Why? Because every one of us will be fighting for our very lives and those of our children, and children’s children. The Leftists? They are fighting for what? Free stuff?

“...speak Japanese is in hell. ...”

Actually I think Truman said that.

I have been thinking about this poem. The hispanics and asians are getting fed up too. A lot of good black Americans I think, will get fed up. Where is the push back, though?

I read a book in either high school or early college on the occupation of Germany by the victorious allies. The urge for revenge was strong among the powers. No surprise the Russians were the worst in the depredations against civilian Germans. The French were next barbarity if I remember this right, the French willfully starved 1 million Germans. The British were an order of magnitude down from the French but surprisingly brutal. We were a lot tougher\brutal (but again another order of magnitude down from the British) then we probably would like to remember.

Just another example of “War is Hell” brings out the best & the worst in all.

I just spent the day with an employee of the police department of a major city. He says the police aren't too happy with the current situation.

Where is the push back, though?

As long as the Repugnants and DemonRats in Congress can buy votes by pimping and whoring for the American Negro, there will be no push back.

As long as the pimps and whores in public education keep pushing the Party Dialogue (anti Christian; anti White), there will be no push back.
