... It has already begun. The Holocaust, the Shoah, did not begin with a train to the concentration camp. It did not begin with Jews being beaten up in the streets by brown shirts and black shirts and crazed citizens able to indulge their hate and be praised for it. No, that is not how it begins.
While the beginning steps may be truncated these days, it does begin there, sneaking up on people who find themselves buying into the nastiness of those people standing in the streets, standing outside a building. Carrying offensive signs and posters, chanting blood stained words as unthinking robots, drawing the curious, the hate filled, the naive and the foolish. And then the hardcore, professionals, the Hate spewing from their mouths in great big ugly gobs.
One begins with call outs against neighbors. The Jewish owned store on the corner. Against the Jewish professor or a protest and a burning of books written by Jews, about Jews, defending Jews. Anything positive to say about the Jewish people and their history. Their contributions to society. It begins, in fact, with the very first steps aimed to begin the isolation process, to push Jewish people, their businesses, their institutions of education and religion, and the various secular organizations into outlier, suspect positions.
These outlier positions "gifted" to the Jews slowly, albeit lately not so slowly, move on up in number and content. They grow ever more intense and are suffused with vicious accusations and suggestions that would never be tolerated if they were thrown out at another group. With the delegitimization, dehumanizing with "Jewish facts” and specific targets named, individual or groups or nations, and continues with a vile debasing, a total shaming with rabid falsehoods of the Jewish people and certainly of the nation of Israel.
It begins with signs. With people standing quietly in the middle of the street, on the sidewalk outside, some place where Jews are and holding some signs of lies, despicable lies, but not yet crazed. When these "protesters” notice that they have gained the attention of some onlookers they begin to increase the pace. Voices get louder. The signs descend into calls for the disappearance of Jews, particularly those with whom they disagree, for believe it or not, there are Jews who will join and stand with those calling for their own death. For the death of their people, for the death of their brothers and sisters and parents and aunts and uncles and children, deeming themselves "Progressives”.
Progressives are those who wish to make progress, meaning to go forward. Unfortunately, the term now has become co-opted, and it means anyone who will turn on the standard values and principles of the society in which they live. It is when there are those who buy into a program even as it stabs themselves in the back. It is a progressive which only regresses in every aspect of life about which they are protesting.
Apparently, the most favored topic, richest with opportunity to “go rabid”, is anything and everything to do with Israel, Jews in Israel. Jews all over the world. These brainwashed, ignorant chanters of hate rhymes and holders of signs calling for the death of a people they've been taught to hate, are far more dangerous than they appear to be. However, society has put on blinders and will not see the truth or catch them in private, and they will admit that they too have issues with the "Jews who control everything". Yes, the vile collection of hate known as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, so championed by Henry Ford, remains alive and thriving in these 'progressive' societies.
When these protests, as violent as they get, are not enough, the professional protesters, the instigators who are paid by groups endorsing violence directed at anything Jewish, take the next step in great big giant steps. The violence against people noticeably Jewish ramps up and when caught alone get the **** beaten out of them. Jewish buildings are deemed perfect for vandalization, for arson and all the better if Jews remain in that burning building. Or perhaps a gun would be better for them; they are open for suggestions. Today, two 19-year-olds were arrested for planning for, reveling in the thought, of a mass murder of at least 500 Jews and the more the better. But of course!
Eventually, at ever faster pace, ever more enthusiastic, those who have bought into the evil not only accept it, but push further to total isolation of Jewry, in any shape, manner or form. Total isolation of all Jews, of Israel, of anything relating to them. Physical, emotional, artistic - all worlds verboten for Jewry. Once more to thrust Jews into a scapegoat position, an impossible to survive life and voila! It can happen. It will happen. And indeed, it is happening.
America today and truthfully 99% of the nations of the world are wallowing joyfully in the filth and mud of that fetid swamp of hate, breathing in the miasmic air suffused with evil. Why should they feel any different? Why would they feel any shame at what they are doing as the "grown-ups” of society, those in seats of political power, too many standing at pulpits and podium, ranting and raving with hate are encouraging and enthusiastic in their support of JewHatred.
Yesterday, I went to see the movie "Nuremberg", not because I thought I would learn anything truly heretofore unknown to me, but perhaps to gain an understanding, if possible, of its perpetrators, its participants, the ones who rained horror upon fellow human beings. The Holocaust is always here, encroaching, tempting to those open for it. Or willing and able to tolerate it and its effects upon all within its smothering of the humanity of mankind. It is a situation which I have simplified for today's posting. No, I went because several people who had gone before me, told me it was excellent. I would not enjoy it, for one does not enjoy these movies but I would be affected by it and truly, it hit me in my heart, in my head.
The most frightening aspect for me was the reluctance, the slowness, of the prosecutors to understand that the perpetrators of the Holocaust were monsters, continue to be monsters, but they are human monsters. The people of Battalion 101, those who engaged in the bullet Holocaust, those who beat Jews in the concentration camps, who thrust them into the gas chambers, guards - they were people, just like you and me. Only for some reason they were able to take the steps deeper and deeper into the darkness of the world around them.
As Dr. Kelly tried to have people learn, as he had, that humans did this horror. That humans can do it again. That people will buy into it, hook, line and sinker and create a few more ugly twists to liven the matter up.
If you think it can't happen here, it won't happen again, you are so very, very dangerously mistaken. There is no doubt about it. The people of Europe and Asia will hop on to the back of this bandwagon of tempting freedom from rules of society. To stomp on all around them of whom they don't approve! What glee!
And if you think America is immune well, wake up! There are many of the extremes on both sides, right and left, who would gladly revel and rejoice if they were in that position There are many people here who will claim, as Germans did, they were just following orders, making a living, staying alive and they will be the great, big gob of human monsters who will enjoy the thrill and the power right down to the last molecule of their body.
If you think that these monsters are not at work already, simply follow some of the raids of that secret combined force of ICE and their doings. Yes, there are criminals - just as there are criminals among native born. Find the guilty and toss them out and stop with the viciousness of the raids upon all. These enforcers of ICE are the seeds of our Trump inspired and created minions, are, in fact, the germ of our own brown shirted, black shirted, jackbooted hoodlums empowered by the authority of the government to do their worst and be praised for it.
Yes, in our yesterdays, in our todays and G-d help us, at this point in our tomorrows, the ugliness of human monsters is quite up front and center. It is up to us to resist the pool of the ugliness unleashed. Of the power it confers upon its practitioners. We must stand up for the right, for true progress, for recognition of all as humans, same as us. All deserving of respect. Unless we, very soon, forestall the answer of can it, will it, block and deny its provenance and possibility of repetition, the questions and answers will be moot - even as we hear the jack boots surrounding that group being marched off to yet another hellish place we have created.
People.
Wake up, wake up, wake up!
