[Me] What was your reaction when you heard on the news that Hamas had attacked Jews on the other side of the fence separating The West Bank and Israel?
[Guest] That’s a stretch, old news now, what about you?
[Me] Well, I do not watch mainstream news media generally. It’s just noise to keep the masses gasping. To capture and manipulate its audience from one disaster to another, the media spins the misfortune of others. I prefer to search independent sources.
At first, what struck me was the swiftness of social media posts casting about that Mossad, Israel’s Secret Service, would have known. The implication is that Israel let it happen.
I like conspiracy theories and take them in my stride. Yeah why, didn’t the all-knowing Mossad prevent the slaughter of civilians?
Anyhow, I’ll work on conspiracy theories at another time. I’ve looked into many; Epstein did not kill himself, ha-ha!
For now, I prefer to concentrate on the atmospherics of our times. My concern remains to be what happens to the common folk caught up in the melee created by the “Eletocracy.”[1] How could it be that such hatreds still permeate our civilised world? It’s worth noting that the Romans destroyed[2] The Second Temple in Jerusalem as revenge. That butterfly is still winging through history. The Crusades unleashed by Pope Urban II gave the butterfly new air for the massacre of Jews[3].
[Guest] OK, let’s hear what you’ve got.
[Me] The internet lit up with the horrifying images streamed live by Palestinians gorging on the fear created by “the quality of mercy” which was purposely strained by a savage culture. I deliberately limited my watching the content. I understand how exposure to horror affects my inner frailty; it tends to regurgitate in one’s inner sanctum. Images disturb the balance needed to remain at peace within oneself.
[Guest] I did hear that gruesome stuff hit cyberspace I also opted out from watching.
[Me] Whilst researching the ‘Where Were Book series,’ I wanted to get a better understanding of the role that Fascist Italia played in the Holocaust, ‘the Shoa’ as it was referred to.
Have a read this extract from Book 2, ‘When Italia Pained’. It’s a quote from ‘The Last Offensive’ wherein Charles B Macdonald details the discovery in the Harz Mountains.
[Guest reads silently]:
On 11 April, the 11th Army swept into Nordhausen to become witnesses to another ghastly concentration of human depravation. Such was the cruelty that paralleled anything written about the medieval torture chambers, retold in horror stories. A sergeant, from the 329th Medical Battalion, was an eyewitness, his notes serving as a record of what he saw are much too graphic to quote here.[4]
[Me] I think it’s time to confront those fears, to somehow acclimatise to archaic horror. This is what I had left out.
“On the 11th the armor swept into Nordhausen, uncovering more grisly, almost unbelievable evidence of Nazi bestiality in another concentration camp. Here is how a sergeant[5] from the 329th Medical Battalion saw it:
“Rows upon rows of skin-covered skeletons met our eyes. Men lay as they had starved, discolored, and lying in indescribable human filth. Their striped coats and prison numbers hung to their frames as a last token or symbol of those who enslaved and killed them . . . One girl in particular I noticed; I would say she was about seventeen years old. She lay there where she had thoughts I choked up—couldn’t quite understand how and why war could do these things . ..”[6]
[Guest] Sends shudders down one’s spine.
[Me] In the aftermath of the Hamas attack, that haunting image of the seventeen-year-old girl came to mind when I viewed a clip of a girl of a similar age being moved from the back of a small personnel carrier. Her track pants, from the lower abdomen, front and back; soaked in blood, blotted by desert dust.
That pretty life, bleeding out after rape and beatings. Her vivaciousness of youth was drained by brute force. Savagery did not end with the Nazi’s attempt at extermination.
[Guest] Wow, that’s tough to swallow; but why are the Palestinians and the Arabs in general taking over where the Nazis left off?
[Me] Christopher Hitchens has “a little” to say about that in his encounter with Talk Show Host Bill Maher. It’s worth you getting a grounding in the Quran and its impact on adherents. I’ll send you the link.[7] Literal interpretations are the foundations upon which apparent rights are imbued in cultural ideological foundations to be spread by the sword if necessary.
Historian Tom Holland has made progress in detailing the evolution of Islam in the Middle East. Robert Bruce Spencer, Dr Jay Smith and Dr Bill Warner provide an insider understanding of the meanings of the Quran Hadiths’.
The void created by the Ottoman defeat of the Eastern Roman Empire spread Islam westward to the very gates of Vienna. An Empire that lasted some six hundred years.
I discuss the topic in chapters ‘Bosphorus Phosphorus Parts 1 & 2’. The Ottomans were not squeamish about their belief in the tenets of the Quran.
The remnants of the Ottoman Empire backed the Germans in WW1. There was a division of the Waffen SS made up entirely of Muslims.
[Guest] OK you’ve convinced me, I’ll look up Hitchens to see what he has to say, sounds like a smart guy.
[Me] The saga continues to this day. The Arabs are on a mission using the shadowy ‘Islamic Brotherhood to foment Islamic revolution throughout the West to take over where the Ottomans left off. Arabs and the theocrats in Iran still believe that a Caliphate Governance is preferable to a Constitutional Democracy. Pushback is feeble, so ‘watch this space’ as the saying goes.
[Guest] You mean that the happenings in the Middle East …Gaza, …the West is in big trouble then?
[Me] We, the silent majority remain so because of apathy fuelled by middle-classer comfort. We need to heed the urgency of social realism undermining the West.
Those desert sand foundations, underpinning the hatred for Judaeo-Christian morality need to be cast to the four winds. Clear a space on your dresser for the symbolic ‘Doomsday Clock’, it’s not just about nuclear war, cultural immiscibility is also apocalyptic. We’re in it together now.
