The whole world seems to be shifting to the left which is never a good thing.

quotes:

In the first millennium of the Christian era, leaders in the European Christian (Catholic) hierarchy developed or solidified as doctrine ideas that: all Jews were responsible for the crucifixion of Christ; the destruction of the Temple by the Romans and the scattering of the Jewish people was punishment both for past transgressions and for continued failure to abandon their faith and accept Christianity.

In the tenth and eleventh centuries, these doctrines about Jews were hardened and unified in part because of the following: threat to the Church hierarchy from the impending split between Roman Catholicism and Greek Orthodoxy (1054); successive waves of Muslim conquest; end of millennium fervor; successes in converting the heathen ethnic groups of northern Europe; and military-spiritual zeal of the Crusades.

Seeking to retain their beliefs and culture, Jews became bearers of the only minority religion on a now Christian continent of Europe. In some countries, Jews were welcomed from time to time, but, at a time in which faith was perceived as the principal form of self-identity and intensely influenced both public and private life, Jews found themselves increasingly isolated as outsiders. Jews do not share the Christian belief that Jesus is the Son of God, and many Christians considered this refusal to accept Jesus’ divinity as arrogant. For centuries the Church taught that Jews were responsible for Jesus’ death, not recognizing, as most historians do today, that Jesus was executed by the Roman government because officials viewed him as a political threat to their rule.

When God told Abraham that He would bless those who bless your and your descendants, and curse those who curse them, still rings true today. For example, for years the Soviet Union treated Jewish people quite well, but the USSR began crumbling when Stalin decided that Jews were the problem with Soviet Bolshevism.

Prior to the rise of the national Socialists, Germany was very tolerant of Jewish people, and accepted them wholeheartedly if they converted to Christianity (which many did). When the national Socialists took over, they led Europe on the path to destroy the Jewish race. Where's Germany now? For 45 years, they were the playthings of obnoxious Americans and brutal Russians. Now they're unified, but they're a shadow of the nation they were before World War 1.

Look at all the African Islamic countries that oppose Israel- most all of them have crop failures and famine.

The US and Canada have honored Judaism for decades, and the Lord has blessed our nations with abundant wealth never seen before in history. However, the last 20 years we're beginning to see the Jew-hating that infected Europe and the Middle East. I can see our countries slowly being ground into the dustbin of history because of this.

“the 1919 Spanish Flu outbreak—contributed to the sense of discomfort and disconnect among the German population, prompting increased support for Hitler and his Nazis”

I suspect that Hitler believed Germany was “stabbed in the back” by leftists and Jews inordinately backed leftists.

quotes:

On November 9, 1918, a mass uprising by the Berlin proletariat toppled Kaiser Wilhelm II and ended the war. The Hohenzollern dynasty had ruled Berlin, Prussia and the German Empire for almost 500 years. One bourgeois journalist described the revolution like a sudden collapse: The following day, Theodor Wolff wrote that before the uprising, “a gigantic military organization seemed to embrace everything, in public offices and ministries an apparently invincible bureaucracy was enthroned. Yesterday morning all this was still there. … Yesterday afternoon nothing remained.”

Ludendorff’s calculation was devious: Even though he had personally determined that they had lost the war, he could now create a legend that the German army was never defeated on the battlefield. He now claimed the German army had lost only because it was “stabbed in the back” by socialists who protested on the home front. This “stab-in-the-back-myth” became widespread in Germany for many decades.

quotes:

As the revolutionaries were founding a new party, the Social Democrats focused on gathering bodies of armed men to defend “public order.” After peace was declared on November 11, the armies were melting away. The government ordered divisions to march to Berlin. Yet before they reached the city, half the soldiers had disappeared—by the next morning, only a handful remained. After four years of the most barbaric massacre that humanity had yet experienced, any person with a shred of sanity left wanted to return home as quickly as possible.

There were, however, small numbers of men who had grown accustomed to endless murder and had no other home besides the army. Under the command of right-wing officers, they joined paramilitary Freikorps (roughly “Free Companies”). These men received handsome salaries, paid from big capitalists’ donations to the Anti-Bolshevik Fund. They were right wing, but could not have coherently described their ideology. In an earlier times, they would have been monarchists, but after Wilhelm II’s flight, they had no use for the monarch. As Sebastian Haffner explained, “What they dreamed of and hoped for, what they fought and also murdered for, was something other than the Monarchy—something which would one day be put into words by a man who in those days was active as an obscure [army informant] in Munich.”

Haffner was referring to Adolf Hitler, who would build his fascist movement around nuclei of former Freikorps soldiers.

The Freikorps marauded through Berlin, invading one workers’ district after another. The fighting soon concentrated in the Newspaper Quarter, particularly around the Vorwärts building. Some 200 workers had been occupying the building and publishing the “Red Vorwärts” for a week. By January 11 they were surrounded by white troops with artillery, grenade launchers, flamethrowers and even a tank. The proud building, erected with decades of donations from Berlin workers, was heavily damaged by bombardments. The occupiers sent out a seven-person delegation with a white flag to negotiate surrender – all were taken to a neighboring military barracks and beaten to death. The other 200 gave up shortly afterwards, and only by luck avoided a mass murder.

Luxemburg and Liebknecht eventually went into hiding, first in the proletarian neighborhood of Neukölln, then in the more bourgeois Charlottenburg. A counter-revolutionary patrol discovered them in a friend’s apartment. They were arrested and taken to a Freikorps headquarters in the Hotel Edon opposite the zoo.

the Freikorps executed Luxemburg and Liebknecht. She was beaten to death outside the hotel; he was driven into a nearby park and shot. The murderers claimed that she had been dragged away by a mob, while he had been shot “attempting to escape.”

The defeat of the Berlin insurrection did not mean the end of the German Revolution. Mass struggles continued throughout 1919: in the Ruhr region, in Central Germany, in Berlin. There were short-lived Council Republics in Bremen and Munich. The Freikorps and the SPD were able to suppress each of these movements individually. Just in March of 1919, they massacred at least 1,200 workers in Berlin.

By 1920, the right-wing paramilitaries decided the workers’ movement had been completely crushed – therefore they no longer need their alliance with the SPD. The Kapp-Ludendorff-Putsch was their attempt to depose Ebert and take power themselves. They captured Berlin without resistance, with the old government fleeing to Leipzig, then to Stuttgart, unable to find troops willing to defend them. Desperate, Ebert and Co. called a general strike – the first and only national general strike in German history. Millions of workers heeded the call. The coup government, cut off from trains and telegraphs, collapsed after just three days.

The SPD government, saved by the strike, immediately decreed an amnesty for all the coup plotters. The very next day, the renewed SPD-Freikorps alliance was murdering workers from the Red Army of the Ruhr who had just defeated the coup. Struggles like this continued across Germany until 1923.

the German bourgeoisie had begun to draw lessons from the Russian Revolution one year earlier. They had realized that the Bolsheviks were more than a band of fanatics who would lose power after a few weeks. If the compact working class in Russia could take political power and expropriate capital, then the danger posed by Germany’s massive proletariat was incomparably greater.

There were not many Freikorps in Germany, in absolute numbers. Yet they had the decisive advantage that they were centrally organized. They could move from one city to the next, smashing the revolutionary movement wherever it raised its head.

Ending antisemitism (and other variations of blind hate and discrimination) .... YES!

But how?

The left has Institutionalized racist discrimination into our legal system. Great totals of our tax money is spent implementing discrimination via hiring, promotion, college admissions, college financial aid,”DEI” indoctrination and discrimination programs complete with their own Orwellian vocabularies and forced indoctrination sessions for all innocently caught working in such organizations, speech censorship, etc. There are now tens of thousands of people on the public payroll whose sole job duty is to promote more and more discriminatory “thought” and wider and wider discriminatory programs, activities — and to enforce it -—all at taxpayer expense.

Just How can we remove this sickening infestation from the American society?

anti-Jew bias (yes, it has always served as the canary in the cage warning signal), anti-Christian bias (is “quieter” but impacts many more people), anti-Caucasian bias, anti-Asian/Chinese bias ... anti-male bias, anti-”straight” bias, anti-life (pro-abortion, pro-euthenasia) bias... you name it... its all over ... where to begin? and how?

One shouldn’t put ‘endangered’ wolves [jahid worshipping Muslims] in the same enclosure [USA] as sheep [Jews].

Many Jews (and my mother’s parents) came here for asylum. The asylum previously granted should be respected. “Newcomers” in need of (or claiming to want) asylum should be directed to seek it in a country where they will not threaten others.

Any asylum applicant that doesn’t not formally acknowledge the borders of Israel as recognized by the US government should not be admitted or allowed to remain.

Any asylum applicant that doesn’t not acknowledge the rights of women to fully participate in society and to dress in typical western clothing should not be admitted or allowed to remain.

Any asylum applicant that doesn’t not acknowledge the rights of Christian, Jews and atheists should not be admitted or allowed to remain.

Any asylum applicant that doesn’t not acknowledge the rights of LGB people should not be admitted or allowed to remain.

In 1872, Florida law required public schoolteachers to promote Christian virtues.

WIKI

The story concerns a farmer who finds a viper freezing in the snow. Taking pity on it, he picks it up and places it within his coat. The viper, revived by the warmth, bites his rescuer, who dies realizing that it is his own fault.

in Medieval versions of the fable. Odo of Cheriton’s snake answers the farmer’s demand for an explanation with a counter-question, “Did you not know that there is enmity and natural antipathy between your kind and mine? Did you not know that a serpent in the bosom, a mouse in a bag and fire in a barn give their hosts an ill reward?”
