There are two distinctly different forms of Societal Government. The USA was founded on the unique idea of constitutionally limited government whose purpose is to protect the civil rights and civil liberties of its individual citizens regardless of the individual’s social associations.
The second type is designed to fulfill abstract social ideals. I am not even sure the USA today is in Category 1 rather than Category 2. All disruptions in Category 1 come from the actions of narcissists. All governmental and political institutions provide the opportunity for narcissists to exploit much larger numbers of people than the normal one-to-one personal encounters of daily life.
Narcissists are created – not born. The narcissist is raised from infancy to believe he is SO SPECIAL. Making Mommy and Daddy smile with a charming lie, whether necessary to forestall a reprimand or vicarious to enhance power, is invariably the first step. The narcissistic child learns two phrases to completely obviate any real punishment for evil acts or evil words: “It’s not my fault!” and “It’s not my responsibility!”
The narcissistic children of narcissistic parents are exponentially even more damaging to the normal common people of society who foolishly expect Social Equality and Equal Justice under Law.
Marxism-Leninism
Marxism, eternally called Socialism, began in the 19th Century. Bolshevik Revolutionaries, headed by the biggest Narcissist in the 20th Century, Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, also known as Lenin, set the standard for Communist Totalitarian control of all human life.
My concept of Civilization is in Category 1. Almost the entire world today is partially or totally in Category 2. Communism is the truest term for Category 2. Some 20th Century history, in its reality rather than official history, should serve to enlighten an open mind.
20th Century Misconstrued Critical History
Winston Spencer Churchill was the world’s first Dogmatic Libertarian Anti-Communist politician from the moment the Bolshevik Revolution of November 1917 rewrote the ‘rules’ of International Relations between nation-states in what was then Civilization.
When Hitler began rising to power in the late 1920s, Churchill referred to Hitler as a “guttersnipe.” (All evil political idealists start their organizational careers just like that. They require a dramatically presented stereotype of Evil to recruit followers always on the basis of actual hatred misrepresented as the Ideal of ‘making a better world.’) Other than Churchill, the rest of the European political world of societies of far more limited government than exists today in Europe refused to see the Actual IMMEDIATE danger to Civilization. Their irrational fear-motivated ‘Denial’ operated increasingly, until after the 1938 Munich betrayal of Czechoslovakia and Hitler’s subsequent ‘annexation’ of the eastern (Slovakian) portion of the country. (The horrific 4-year slaughter in the trenches on the western front of WWI created an irrational fear. During WWI, the ultra-nationalism created by Marx’s defacto mentor philosopher Georg Willhelm Hegel created an inability to compromise as the limited governments of the 19th Century had always done shortly after the guns began firing,)
The cowardly political morons who ran the two great European powers of democracy, Britain and France, at the least advantageous strategic point in history, THEN allied with the next target, Poland, guaranteeing war when Poland was invaded.
In late August 1939, Hitler and Stalin (the concomitantly anti-Civilization Absolute Ruler of the USSR) allied to attack Poland in September. WWII then began.
In a peculiarity of history, Britain and France were at war with Germany – but not with the USSR. It was as if the USSR and its absolute ruler Stalin were irrelevant to civilization in Europe.
Back in 1936-1938, there was a really big war in Spain. A putatively Socialist government, in a ‘Popular Front’ coalition with the Spanish Communists in attempting to consolidate power, provoked General Francisco Franco’s overseas army into Spain to begin the war officially. With the ‘support’ of the USSR (which drained virtually all the foreign currency and gold from the Spanish Central Bank), the government inspired many naïve ‘anti-Fascists’ from around the world to sign up to join mercenary formations called ‘Abraham Lincoln’ brigades. One of those volunteers, Eric Blair, an essayist from England, became famous, years later, as the writer George Orwell. His second and third books (“Animal Farm” and “1984”) though undeniably anti-Communist by intent have had countless ‘deconstruction’ re-interpretations by half-witted careerists academic and others who were left-wing true believers for far more than a half-century.
In 1936-1938, Hitler and Mussolini were as fanatically anti-Communist as Churchill himself – albeit because Communism was a political rival for power. During the Spanish Civil War, Hitler and Mussolini provided lots of weapons and other military ‘assistance’ to the Franco side. Franco won the war after hundreds of thousands were killed (many tens of thousands of Roman Catholic clergy, men and women, were secretly massacred by communists – a fact still not widely accepted today). Ernest Hemmingway’s famous novel “For Whom the Bell Tolls” dramatizes, like the rest of the free world eternally thereafter, the portrayal of the left-wing as noble and the Franco side as a STOOGE for Hitler. A few inconvenient contradictory facts never make it into the official history of Franco forever.
Contradictory Facts
Firstly, Hitler and Mussolini were never ‘close’ before the Spanish Civil War. In 1934, the cowardly West got Mussolini to mobilize troops at the Brenner Pass on the south of Austria to keep Hitler from annexing Austria via assassination. (Mussolini habitually referred to anti-Semitism as ‘The German Disease.)
Mussolini had ‘made the trains run on time’ by imprisoning or driving underground both the Communists and Organized Crime. He thereby was a lot more popular for years among the Italian public than the Official History claims – until WWII changed everything.
Secondly, a critically important incident from the period after the fall of France in 1940 but before Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941) exists in no general history book that I can remember reading. When William Shirer wrote the classic one-thousand page “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” from complete post-war access to German archives, I can recall reading in amusement and astonishment (in the 1960s) the story of Gibraltar in Hitler’s war plans.
Franco stayed officially and practically completely neutral during WWII just like Switzerland – and unlike Sweden which ‘sold’ tons of iron ore to Hitler’s war machine. (They were ‘paid’ with useless paper not real money gold.)
The ‘Desert War’ between Britain versus Italy and Germany began shortly after the European war and continued into the post-Pearl Harbor period when US troops in 1942 landed in northwest Africa and joined with British troops in invading Sicily and Italy, overthrowing the Mussolini government and leaving the German military as the occupying force.
For a number of months during the ‘Desert War,’ Rommel’s understaffed Afrika Corps and the understaffed British Army chased each other across Libya, back and forth, without final result. Being resupplied by ship, the German (and Italian) military had their supply convoys constantly bombed and thereby diminished by aerial attack from the RAF on tiny Malta. Britain hardly ever brought a ship to Malta but military aircraft was critical. Since Britain controlled Gibraltar, they could send aircraft carriers into the western Mediterranean, have their war planes fly to Malta so as to resupply the losses suffered and get out of the Mediterranean to safer waters.
If Hitler could move into Spain, briefly, he could easily take Gibraltar, close off the Mediterranean from reinforcing the RAF on Malta, and conquer north Africa right on through British-run Egypt. He might well have won the war before December 7, 1941 and Pearl Harbor. But he didn’t.
By train, Hitler took a German delegation along with a few then-allied Italians led by Ciano, the Foreign Minister (and Mussolini’s son-in-law) who recorded the event in his diary – the source of William Shirer’s information (possibly in a footnote rather than the text).
(After the Mussolini government fell in 1944 due to the Allied liberation of Sicily and southern Italy, the German Wehrmacht, commanded by Air Marshall Kesselring, constituted the entire Axis occupying military. Count Ciano spent the last period of the war in a German concentration camp.)
In Spain, Hitler spent one very long day ‘negotiating’ with Franco for permission to send troops to neutral Spain to conquer Gibraltar from the landward side. At the end of a long day, when he had returned to his entourage and they were told the approval had not been granted, they asked if he would return the next day and try again. His response is what made me laugh sixty years ago.
He said we are returning to Germany because “I would rather have every tooth in my mouth pulled than go through that again.”
[If Franco had lost the Spanish Civil War (1936-1938), a communist Spanish government subservient to Stalin would have allowed Hitler’s request since Hitler and Stalin were Allies from August 1939 until June 22, 1941 when Hitler invaded the USSR and began massacring all the Jews in the Ukraine with his four Einsatzgruppen (Mobile Death Squads) of Waffen SS (with the assistance of enthusiastic Ukrainian recruits to the Waffen SS). Stalin always deferred to Hitler out of fear – it was never the other way around. Stalin sent massive quantities of petroleum and other commodities to his ally Hitler right on up to the time when the supply trains were overrun by Hitler’s armies. Right after the secret alliance that began WWII, when Hitler demanded the return of German communists who had fled to the USSR for protection, Stalin betrayed the German communists instead of Hitler.
[Furthermore, secret French communists spread massive disloyalty within the French army when Hitler invaded in the Spring of 1940. The collapse of the French army, a match for the German army in manpower and equipment, is incomprehensible. (With the exception of one very successful tank division commanded by General de Gaulle, all the rest of the French armored troops were useless.) A long, long time ago, I saw a post-war movie about that communist betrayal.
[Continuing the Communist anti-Civilization theme, many years ago, it was considered an irrefutable fact that 80% of the French Underground was actually the Communist Party Paramilitary. They were very good at murdering an isolated German occupation soldier inevitably generating large-scale reprisal executions of many times greater numbers of civilians. However, when the Allies landed on June 6, 1944 at Normandy, even after the six-week later break-out from the Normandy beachhead, there was no massive Underground uprising to make the Liberation of France easier. De Gaulle, the leader of the Free French contingent of the invading Allies, unlike the contemporary corrupt French politicians and bureaucrats, knew for certain that Communism is the enemy of Civilization not an ally. No wonder Churchill always promoted De Gaulle.
[The Polish underground were, unlike the 80% of the French Underground, non-Communist defenders of Civilization. When the Red Army reached the Vistula River 50 miles from Warsaw, Stalin euchred the Polish Underground to rise up and assist the ‘Allied Army.’ Only, it was a trick to facilitate post-war Communist rule in Poland. The Red Army stood still for weeks while the Polish Freedom Fighters were all massacred. Only then did the advance continue.]
Back to George Orwell
The third lost fact to Official History brings me back to George Orwell. I had read “Animal Farm” and “1984” back in the 1960s, but I had never heard of his biographical experiences during the Spanish Civil War. The world was never supposed to ever identify the eternal EVIL of Communism and its worldwide all-powerful Propaganda operations. The plethora of narcissistic True Believer fanatics do not even require organization. Every such perverted individual is an eternal potential volunteer.
In recovering from a major operation in 1980, I took a few books with me to Lenox Hill Hospital. One of those books, “The Orwell Reader,” included fascinating essays that Eric Blair lived through as a coal miner, travelling in British India and other such adventures. He always described himself as a ‘socialist’ not for economic reasons but because Ruling Class Britain, with its Two-Tier Social Order was the source of his adamantine political opposition.
An abridged version of his first book, “Homage to Catalonia,” was the best part of the large volume. Eric Blair had signed up for the Abraham Lincoln Brigades, went to the Front and fought as a common infantry man. He was charmed by the way everyone below the officer rank on his side would address each other as ‘comrade’ the way all Frenchmen addressed each other as ‘citizen’ during the French Revolution.
In combat, he was shot in the neck, seriously wounded and was in an ambulance headed to a hospital in the rear at the exact same time that a communist Officer Class ‘Security’ detail had been dispatched from Headquarters to have him arrested to be ‘liquidated’ as an unreliable ‘democrat.’ This is the event that changed Eric Blair into a fanatical anti-communist. This is the event that motivated him for the rest of his life to write “Animal Farm” and “1984” (barely completed before he died in 1949).
Note to the Reader:
This essay, should I live long enough, will be a very lengthy combination of at least three essays – this being the second one. The first was published on Pearl Harbor Day 2023 because what demonstrated to my satisfaction the Moral War of Barbarism against Civilization began in Israel on October 7, 2023 and completely altered my focus of attention.
The original essay began in September days earlier, but grew bigger until I stopped attempting to continue it. Its original ‘inspiration’ was a Canadian Parliamentary Glorification of Ukrainian WAFFEN SS ‘volunteers’ who escaped the Civilization Rule of Law and found a home in Canada with the connivingly able assistance of the UK National Security Bureaucracy after WWII.
All of that knowledge about escaped Ukrainian Nazis was new to me in late 2023. Within three months after the Ukrainian War began, I learned that the Biden Administration and the EU made the Zelinsky government walk away from a peace agreement facilitated by both the Tyrant of Turkey Erdogan and also the then Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennet. (My best understanding is that the ethnically Russian areas in the east and in Crimea would be Russian territory. I will be very surprised if, when this war ends, the borderlines are significantly different.)
It was months later that I began to post essays about the insanity of this war using ‘War and Peace’ as a partial title. It was only back then I began to learn reliable facts about the post-Cold War world.
The theme of these essays – even the yet to be written – was the eternal difference to Human Memory between Historical Truth and Government Propaganda that so very often supersedes the Truth.
The first essay begins with a poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley – “Ozymandias.” The dramatic point that I was working up to was the 180 degree complete Propaganda reversal of Soviet Propaganda about six months after Hitler’s June 22. 1941 invasion of his ally, the USSR. By Christmas 1941, Stalin completely reversed the eternal theme of the USSR’s Propaganda for Communist Idealism to ‘make a better world’ by the ‘workers of the world’ – a pure Marxist theme – to that of its predecessor in Idealist Philosophical History. Hegel’s eternal theme was of National Patriotism.
Both internally and externally, Communist Propaganda, starting even before the Bolshevik Revolution, was that all good Communists were the ‘vanguard’ of ‘the workers and the peasants’ and through ‘violent revolution would make a workers’ paradise.’
The theme was supposed to inspire Pride in one’s heroic actions as a Communist Crusader. They even had artwork where Communist workers were as big and strong and smilingly happy as if they were all supermen.
In 1942, when the German Patriotic Armies invaded, Soviet soldiers surrendered by the millions to save their more valuable lives.
Around Christmas 1942, with the German armies dug in on the outskirts of Moscow’s suburbs, Stalin reversed his propaganda from Marxism to Hegelian Nationalism. New clichés, such as ‘The Great Patriotic War’ and fighting to defend ‘Mother Russia’ so powerfully took hold that the whole world believed that it was Russia not the Soviet Union that owned the Red Army. The USSR experienced over 20,000,000 deaths, mostly civilians during WWII. It’s Army was less than 50% ethnic Russian and its ruthless tactics, at times, were more ruthlessly destructive of its own soldiers than any army in history.
In defending the outskirts of Moscow, prisoners were released from jail and were armed and thrown on to the frontline and shot dead by the Soviet Secret Police, if they retreated. These tactics were widely employed going forward.
In the massive tank battle of Kursk, their best general Georgi Zhukov wrote in his internationally published memoirs that the Soviet Red Army attacked through mine fields as if there were no land mines. Zhukov claimed (perhaps even naively believed) that ‘Scientific Study’ had PROVED that the speed of the advance would incur less casualties overall. An actual ‘double-blind scientific study’ would have necessitated tens of thousands of dead soldiers.
Churchill said to the House of Commons that the Red Army ‘tore the guts’ out of the German War Machine. (If I remember correctly, both American and British wartime deaths were each in the vicinity of over a half-million.)
Today most of the world cannot distinguish between the contemporary Russian Republic and Federation versus the USSR. Old Cold Warriors in the western world have continued their careers for 35 years since the Cold War ended. You should do your own research about the life and career of Christopher Steele. His career, as a British spy-diplomat, wandering around the Islamic areas of the Russian Federation fits perfectly with the unproven theme that the Islamic Brotherhood is his master.
And what do you know. on Wednesday, May 21st, French National Intelligence has finally acknowledged the EXISTENTIAL threat to Western Civilization posed by the International Muslim Brotherhood for the last few generations. What do you bet that both King Macron and the EU continue their perpetual appeasement of, and even cooperation with, that same International Muslim Brotherhood?
