EIN VOLK,EIN REICH, EIN FUHRER

Recall this 'slogan' which meant so much to a certain peoples who called themselves 'ARYAN' or 'GERMANIC' and who,among others, have sometimes developed a 'cultural amnesia' of sorts.....

FASCINATION WITH HITLER

If you go to the various existing bookstores you will find an increasing publication of various books on Hitler, the Nazis,WWII, and related topics,including the Holocaust,etc. The influence of Hitler and the impact of his life cannot be underestimated nor should it be forgotten or ignored.......a number of 'philosophers', 'occultists' and 'writers' fell under his 'spell' at various times, despite the numerous apologies given for their 'weaknesses' and susceptibility..... FASCISM whether of the 'Germanic' variety or of the "Japanese" variety is still FASCISM...and most of the modern, contemporary peoples have forgotten their efforts and attempts to dominate the world, to conquer the world, and to exterminate people considered 'inferior' or to enslaven them for use by them in various ways, ranging from 'medical experiments' or 'scientific study' or to produce more machines and bombs for destruction and conquest..... In fact, a number of war criminals, from Japan and Germany were never prosecuted or convicted and many were taken to the US and other countries to continue their most 'valuable' work and 'researches' and many still walks the streets today in various cities everywhere....unbeknownst to passerbys......

FASCINATION WITH FASCISM

Despite the outcome of the Second World War and subsequent events, such as, the collapse of communism or, at least the 'Soviet Version' so-called, there is still a vast number of people who are attracted to FASCISM,which is any system of that advocates PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF LAND & GOVERNMENT MANAGEMENT OF INDUSTRY & AGRICULTURE. This includes any methods of PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS of such by government. A further definition of FASCISM is that it is a THEORY that land, industries and the goods produced and derived from such should be OWNED and DISTRIBUTED by a GOVERNMENT supposedly REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE. THE FASCIST MOVEMENT BEGAN IN IN ITALY AROUND 1919 and was established by BENITO MUSSOLINI who,though he ended up slaughtered with his mistress by Partisans, was at one time hailed as a very important figure, a 'strongman', almost another 'saviour and messiah' etc. GERMAN FASCISTS emerged and became known as NAZIS and 'preached' the DOCTRINES OF NAZISM,which are still admired in some circles today, although many, if not most, are now to be found under other names and designations, some most surprising to those who do not realize some things about this process that has still to be fully understood and exposed to everyone's satisfaction. IN Spain, under FRANCO, the FALANGISTS emerged and they also embraced the FASCIST doctrines.

THE DECLINE OF THE WEST

The DECLINE OF THE WEST is the English title of a book by the late Oswald Spengler, that I read while in college and which made a great impression on me in several aspects and which has been ignored by historians and scholars who tend to prefer Arnold Toynbee's A STUDY IN HISTORY and his particular theories,etc. Although Spengler was sort of 'grabbed' by the Nazis and 'wooed' apparently by Hitler,according to some, Spengler in actuality despised Hitler and the overtures made in his direction but this did not stop others from attributing to Spengler Racist and Nazi Ideas, just as it did in attributing the Philosophy of Nietsche as being the actual foundation of Nazism to a great extent. We also should mention that the German Philosopher, Heidigger was also a member of the Nazi Party,etc. and that JUNG, one of the founders of the three schools of Psychoanalysis, also 'toyed' with Nazi and racial ideas,though he tried to repudiate his early consideration of such. To understand the intellectual appeal of Nazism to persons who supposedly should have known better, we have to examine their lives and philosophy,etc.

HITLER WAS A CATHOLIC

Although Hitler seemed to have revived certain old notions of Teutonic/Germanic/Nordic mythology, it would seem that it was more for his policies and programs and similar things but, of course, he was an opera lover, namely of Richard Wagners(Wagnar?) works. He also tended to espouse the Philosophy of Nietzche,or his undeerstanding of it. Portrayed as a paper hanger, a postcard artist, etc. Hitler vented his wrath and frustrations on the world but he had willing helpers, including very wealthy industrialists. Even though he committed suicide, he never renounced his Catholicism for some good reasons not to do so.

FACTS ABOUT HITLER

Certain 'facts' about Hitler will posted here from time to time. Please comment on them.

THE TRIUMPH OF THE WILL

THE TRIUMPH OF THE WILL was filmed in 1934 and released in 1936, the year I was born. The director of this film was LENI RIEFENSTAHL. For some years this movie/film/documentary was banned. However, it was released in Video,VHS,some years back and I obtained a copy. It has now been issued on DVD. The film is in black and white, of course, but it shows Hitler and the Nazi Party. I have to say that as a child, the radio carried some of the speeches or excerpts of Hitler's speeches which I heard and later some years back I also was able to listen to some recordings of his speeches. Most people will tend to dismiss all this as 'ancient' history, that deals with a 'madman'. But there is still quite an interest in Hitler, Nazism, and WWII Germany. Over the years, I became somewhat interested in Hitler, what his background was or was supposed to have been, what made him 'tick', and so forth. Every now and then something crops up that arouses my interest.
