Description:

Biden Wants to Return to a ‘Normal’ Foreign Policy. That’s the Problem Emma Ashford … Mr. Biden appears less likely to improve America’s foreign policy than to return us to a narrow Washington consensus that has failed our country and the world … In short, Mr. Biden’s vision looks less like a better approach to foreign policy and more like a rerun … This “familiar” approach has led again and again to failure in recent years. Whether in Iraq, Libya, Ukraine or elsewhere, the United States has encountered problems that can’t be solved with a more “muscular approach” or more “American leadership” (to use two favorite clichés of the foreign policy establishment) … For now, the best way to understand where Mr. Biden stands today is to look at the people with whom he has surrounded himself. If personnel is policy, so far it looks like we’ll be getting little more than a rehash of the Beltway consensus. Get Big Hitler Out of Politics!David Cole - Taki’s mag… Why can’t we keep Hitler out of our elections? Four years ago, it was the Democrats who were on the Hitler kick. “Trump is literal Hitler! He’ll put us all in camps!” And this time, it’s the right’s turn at bat … Last week, Glenn Beck upped the ante by claiming that Bernie is such a Nazi that his election “will result in another Holocaust.” … If we take Hitler out of the equation, if we stop compulsively having to bring Nazis into everything, we can eliminate the need for such contortions. Making middle-class and blue-collar working folks pay more in taxes to support the lazy and indigent is bad on its own merits; you don’t have to invoke Auschwitz … Hitler was a lot of things, and chances are, something you do, something you support, is similar to something Hitler did. Hence the wisdom of dropping him from our political discourse. Will the Denazification Ever End?Laurent Guyénot… Some fundamental ideas that once could be recognized as true, and even self-evident by a majority of people, are now banned from public discourse under the pretext that they are reminiscent of Nazism … The current cancellation of the White race is the final phase of the denazification project … Whatever we think about Hitler’s personality, there is no justification for the ban on balanced or even positive appraisals of his thought … For Hitler, there can be no healthy nation without social justice: that is the meaning of “National Socialism” … The National Socialist state claimed to bring a revolution in Law, by restoring the primacy of natural law. Is the United Nations Anti-Israel?: A Survey of UN ResolutionsKathryn Shihadah… The UN Digital Library contains voting records on all proposed resolutions – which show that often the United States and Israel stand nearly alone against the world in justifying Israeli violence against Palestinians … “The Question of Palestine” has been an ongoing topic in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) since 1947. But does that indicate a sinister motive? A survey of UN resolutions may provide an answer … This sample of United Nations resolutions demonstrates the UN’s objective, not to bash a country because of its ethnic makeup, but to right the wrongs perpetrated against Palestinians … As long as Israel refuses to make amends toward the Palestinian people, the reprimands will continue – not because the UN is anti-Israel, but because Israel is anti-justice. Zionist Wiesenthal Centre Slams Nobel Literature Prize Candidate Simon Wiesenthal Centre - EuropeIn a letter to Permanent Secretary of the Swedish Academy, Mats Malm, the Wiesenthal Centre’s Director for International Relations, Dr. Shimon Samuels, noted that, “your October meeting will establish a checklist of candidates, for the 2020 prestigious Nobel Prize in Literature. Among them is bruited Portuguese author, António Lobo Antunes.” … Samuels argued that, “this was marked, reportedly, by what Lobo called ‘their omnipresent obsession with the Shoah’ ... The Wiesenthal Centre considers this language as Holocaust banalization – recognized as a form of antisemitism … He felt “a permanent climate of fear” and that, “the State of Israel was created on hatred ...” “They hate the Germans ... The Holocaust always, always, always ...” Lobo, apparently, continued, “I was shocked to learn that they never have sex with non-Jews ...” World Leaders See Israel Lobby as Gatekeeper in Washington, as UAE Deal ShowsPhilip Weiss - MondoweissThere is only one way to look at the UAE-Israel deal: The United Arab Emirates is seeking more support from the United States, and it believes it must go through Israel to get it … This understanding of the Israel lobby’s power goes well beyond the conventional view of the lobby as influencing US policy with respect to Israel and Palestine. But the assessment is not mine alone. It is a widely-held belief in world capitals. Even Vladimir Putin and Narendra Modi have acted in similar fashion: looking on the Israel lobby as a gatekeeper to Washington … Israeli analysts regularly address this influence … What’s most fascinating about this theory of access is that there are unquestionably a number of examples to support it, but the American press would never touch it. Haim Saban Backs Biden; Will Host a Fundraiser Next WeekJ. Kornbluh - Jewish Insider. Israeli-American mogul Haim Saban, a major Democratic donor and bundler, is expected to host a virtual fundraiser in support of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden next Monday, Jewish Insider has learned. The event will feature Biden, along with Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), and costs $500,000 per person … Saban and his wife, Cheryl, who were the largest individual donors to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign … Saban has maintained close ties with Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, in recent years and reportedly helped broker the recent normalization deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. President Nixon and Billy Graham Discuss the Jewish 'Stranglehold’ on US Media VideoPresident Richard Nixon and the Rev. Billy Graham – the nation’s most prominent Christian evangelist – frankly discuss the Jewish role in the US media during a private meeting in the White House. This recording of their conversation on Feb. 1, 1972, was made public 13 years later. Nixon says: “It’s all run by Jews and dominated by them in their editorial pages. The New York Times, The Washington Post – totally Jewish too.” Graham responds: “This stranglehold has got to be broken or the country’s going down the drain.” In response to that, the president says: “You believe that?” “Yes, sir,” says Graham. “Oh, boy,” replies Nixon. “So do I. I can’t ever say that [publicly], but I believe it.” MSNBC television news report. Runtime: 1:03 mins. What Will They Learn at College Walter E. Williams … What will my youngster learn in college? The American Council of Trustees and Alumni provides some answers that turn out to be quite disturbing … Parents think a college education is necessary for success. Their youngsters think differently. According to the TD Ameritrade study, 49% of young millennials said their degree was “very or somewhat unimportant” to their current job … More than one-third of currently working college graduates are in jobs that do not require a degree, such as flight attendants, janitors and salesmen. The bottom line for parents and their youngsters is that spending four or more years in college and accumulating tens of thousands of dollars in debt is not the only road to a successful life. Canceling Beethoven is the Latest Woke Madness for the Classical-Music World Jonathan S. Tobin – New York Post Think some things are so beloved and essential to Western civilization they can’t be canceled? Think again … No one, living or dead, is safe from the attentions of woke fascists. Even Ludwig van Beethoven. Beethoven’s work is not only at the core of the standard repertory of classical music … For the last 200 years, Beethoven’s compositions have also been symbols of the struggle for freedom against tyranny … To woke critics, Beethoven’s music has taken on a new, darker meaning. To musicologist Nate Sloan and songwriter Charlie Harding, stars of the “Switched on Pop” podcast produced in association with the New York Philharmonic, the Fifth Symphony is a stand-in for everything they don’t like about classical music and Western culture. As far as they’re concerned, it’s time to cancel Ludwig. More Than One in Ten Americans Under 40 Thinks Jews Caused the HolocaustJTAMore than one in ten American adults under 40 believes that Jews caused the Holocaust. That’s one finding from a survey published Wednesday trying to gauge Holocaust knowledge among millennials and Generation Z, a cohort ranging in age from 18 to 39. The survey found that most respondents had heard of the Holocaust and 37 percent knew that six million Jews died … But 11% of the respondents believed the Jews were responsible for the Holocaust, 15% said they thought the Holocaust was a myth or has been exaggerated, and 20% said people talk about it too much … The survey of 1,000 respondents across all 50 states was organized by the Claims Conference, which coordinates restitution and reparations payments for Holocaust survivors and sponsors Holocaust education programs. Zionist Group Demands Renaming of Street That Honors 'Nazi' CaptainB’nai Brith Canada B’nai Brith Canada is urging a Greater Toronto Area municipality to rename a street dedicated to a Nazi battleship captain who fought in the Second World War. Langsdorff Drive, located in Ajax, Ontario, was named in 2007 after Hans Langsdorff, who commanded Nazi German forces at the 1939 Battle of the River Plate. The Town of Ajax is named after the HMS Ajax, a British ship that took part in the engagement. After losing the encounter, Langsdorff scuttled his ship off the coast of Argentina, allowing its crew to escape rather than face the British fleet again. He then shot himself … B’nai Brith’s position is that there is no room for monuments or other dedications in Canada honouring Nazi combatants or their collaborators. 600 Jewish Groups Sign Support Of BLM In New York Times AdJewish Business NewsAn open letter in support of the Black Lives movement signed by more than 600 different Jewish groups was published by the New York Times On the 57th anniversary of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr’s 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom … The signatories were a plethora of congregations as well as some major organizations like the Anti-Defamation League, multiple chapters of the National Council of Jewish Women, the Union for Reform Judaism and the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. … The letter declared: “The Black Lives Matter movement is the current day Civil Rights Movement in this country, and it is our best chance at equity and justice.” Debt is the Real PandemicRon PaulAccording to the Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) latest “Update on the Budget Outlook,” this year’s $3.3 trillion federal deficit is not just three times larger than last year: it is the largest federal deficit in history. The CBO update also predicts that the federal debt will equal 104 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) next year and will reach 108 percent of GDP by 2030. The CBO update also shows that the Social Security, Medicare, and highway trust funds will all be bankrupt by 2031 … This year’s spike in federal spending was caused by the multi-trillion dollar coronavirus relief/economic stimulus bills … However, spending had already increased by $937 billion from the time President Trump was sworn in until the lockdown. Federal spending is unlikely to be reduced no matter who wins the presidential election. U.S. Is In Middle East ‘To Protect Israel’ Not For Oil, Trump SaysPhilip Weiss - MondoweissFour days ago, Donald Trump said the U.S. isn’t involved in the Middle East for oil, but because we “want to protect Israel.” The comments have gone all but unreported in the mainstream press. Trump made the comment during a rally in Winston-Salem, N.C. on Sept. 8 … “The fact is, we don’t have to be in the Middle East, other than we want to protect Israel. We’ve been very good to Israel. Other than that, we don’t have to be in the Middle East.” … These comments by Trump, the disrupter, tie into the long but shadowy pedigree of analysis from policymakers that we invaded Iraq to make Israel safer. Like the former head of the 911 Commission who said that the threat to Israel was the motivation for the war, but that was “the threat that dare not speak its name.” Are Forever Wars Really Ending?Patrick J. Buchanan … Is America, at long last, really coming home from the forever wars? … This time, Trump's withdrawals look to be irreversible … Speaking in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Trump made a remarkable declaration: "We don't have to be in the Middle East, other than we want to protect Israel ... There was a time we needed desperately oil, we don't need that anymore." … Since the end of the Cold War, the U.S. has been in an extended argument with itself over America's role, America's mission in the world. George H. W. Bush's New World Order is ancient history, as are the democracy crusades his son George W. Bush was persuaded to launch. But what will Trump's foreign policy legacy be, should he win? Netanyahu Used Doctored Video of Abbas to Influence Trump’s Policy, Woodward RevealsHaaretz (Israel)Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented U.S. President Donald Trump with a doctored video which showed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas calling for the murder of children, former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told Bob Woodward in his new book "Rage". The incident occurred on May 22, 2017, at a time when Trump was beginning to have doubts about Netanyahu … As described by the Jewish Insider, which obtained an advance copy of the book, Woodward portrays a strained relationship between Tillerson and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, who was tasked with resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Tillerson believed Netanyahu's relationship with Kushner, whose family he had known for many years, was "nauseating to watch." … Tillerson was sacked in March 2018 … How White Radicals Hijacked Portland’s ProtestsMichael Tracey - UnHerd… To characterise what’s gone on in Portland as a traditional “protest” is a misnomer, however. Pay a visit to the area around the Federal Courthouse in Downtown after midnight and you are greeted by brigades of black-clad “Antifa” foot soldiers — geared up in full body armour … If there is any foundational idea operative in Portland, it’s to keep a frenetic confrontation with the state going for as long as possible, so as to maximise the chances that an incendiary incident might occur and catalyse a larger insurrectionary uproar … When protesters chant “NO GOOD COPS IN A RACIST SYSTEM,” the “system” to which they are referring is the foundational system of governance of the United States — again, deemed inherently “fascist” and “white supremacist”, and therefore impossible to reform. Jews Are Called 'Man’: The Distinction Between Jews and Gentiles in TorahRabbi David Bar Chaim… What arises from all the aforementioned is that in the words of the Prophets, and also in the words of our Sages OBM [“Of Blessed Memory”], the Gentiles are thought of as animals. Even so, it clearly does not mean that they are actually treated as animals, and there are distinctions between Gentiles and animals … Nevertheless, we have seen that the status of the Gentiles in Halacha [Jewish religious law] is similar to that of animals in many respects, and generally speaking, there is no real distinctions made between them … There is no escaping the facts: the Torah of Israel makes a clear distinction between a Jew, who is defined as “man,” and a Gentile. This distinction is expressed in a long list of Halachic laws, be they monetary laws, the laws of the Temple, capital laws or others. Why Judaism Isn't Like Other Religions (And Why That's Important) Mark Weber - VideoJudaism is not just another religion. Its core values are markedly unlike those of Christianity and the other great faiths. A central message of the Hebrew scriptures is that Jews are a divinely "chosen" people – a unique community distinct from the rest of humanity. Some recent news items reconfirm this point, which is important for an understanding of the reality of cultural and political life in the United States, the US relationship with Israel, and the issue of war and peace in the Middle East and in the world. Runtime: 48 mins. Israel-Advocacy Groups Urge Facebook to Label Criticism of Israel as 'Hate Speech'L. Friedman - Jewish CurrentsOn August 7, amid broad efforts to get Facebook to clamp down on extremist activity and hate speech, more than 120 organizations sent a letter to the social media giant, urging it to “fully adopt” the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism as the “cornerstone of Facebook’s hate speech policy regarding antisemitism.” … This letter represents the latest front in the battle to use the IHRA definition to officially exclude criticism of Israel from the bounds of acceptable discourse … So far, Facebook has responded to the letter by changing its policy regarding hate speech in ways it says take the IHRA definition into account, but it has resisted adopting the IHRA definition in its entirety. Stalin, Famine, and the New York Times Kyle Smith - National Review … Jones is a Welsh reporter, first name Gareth, who is our vantage point for the Stalin-engineered Ukraine famine of the 1930s that amounted to the state-ordered murder of more than three million people by seizing the region’s grain … To this day, Mr. Jones is all but unknown and his courage is unsung by his inky heirs, whereas Duranty’s Pulitzer Prize remains on the books even after a thousand other things have been canceled. Meanwhile, Mr. Jones joins the unconscionably brief list of brutally honest films about Communism. The Bogus Mythology of World War II Eric Margolis … History is the propaganda of the victors. Few photographs of the gulag have survived, evidence was destroyed, and witnesses have died. Churchill and Roosevelt could not admit they were allied to the greatest mass killer since Genghis Khan, and complicit in his crimes. Or reveal that Communist agents of influence had shaped White House policy. The feeble-minded Roosevelt even hailed Stalin as "Uncle Joe." … Those who considered the Jewish Holocaust a unique historical crime were not eager to bring attention to Stalin’s genocide lest it diminish or dilute their own people’s suffering. From Athletes to Pilots, Recruit for Skill, Not Diversity Walter E. Williams Check out any professional and most college basketball teams. Their starting five, and most of their other ten players, are black, as is 80 percent of the NBA. This does not come anywhere close to the diversity and inclusion sought by the nation's social justice warriors. Both professional and college coaches have ignored and thrown any pretense of seeking diversity and inclusiveness … Do you think that any diversity-crazed college president would chastise his basketball coach for lack of diversity and inclusiveness? … At many predominantly black high schools, not a single black student tests proficient in math and a very low percentage test proficient in reading; however, these schools confer a diploma that attests that the students can read, write, and compute at a 12th-grade level … University of Rhode Island to Remove World War II Memorials Because They Show Too Many White PeopleThe College Fix The University of Rhode Island will remove two murals depicting WWII veterans after the school’s administration received complaints that the individuals depicted in the murals are "predominantly white." The University of Rhode Island recently announced plans to remove two murals depicting World War II veterans because it lacks “diversity and a sensitivity to today’s complex and painful problems,” according to the university. Kathy Collins, vice president of student affairs, told CBS 12 she received complaints because the two folk-art murals portraying life in the GI Bill era of the 1950s “portray a very homogeneous population” and that most of the people depicted in the murals are “predominantly white.” … She cited the controversial deaths and shootings of black Americans such as George Floyd and Jacob Blake as part of her decision … College Education Prof. Claims Math Is ‘White Supremacist Patriarchy’BreitbartBrooklyn College Professor of Math Education Laurie Rubel argued this week on Twitter that the mathematical equation 2+2=4 “reeks of white supremacist patriarchy.” Rubel’s tweet was retweeted and promoted by several academics at universities and colleges around the nation … Rubel, who teaches math education, tried to make the case this week that basic math is “white supremacist.” The tweets are part of a larger trend in recent scholarship by American academics, many of which have argued that “objective truth” is a social construct … Several academics from institutions around the nation chimed in. Harvard Ph.D. candidate Kareem Carr suggested that math should be reevaluated because it was primarily developed by white men. ‘A German Officer in Occupied Paris’: A Very Refined Occupation D. Green - The Wall Street Journal No German writer was better placed for observing the German occupation of Paris than Ernst Jünger. A hero of World War I, wounded 14 times and awarded the Iron Cross, First Class, Jünger was internationally famous for his trench memoir “Storm of Steel” (1920). Between the wars, he studied insects, read Nietzsche, and fought in the Weimar streets with the anti-leftist Freikorps militia. Beginning in 1941, Jünger worked in military intelligence from an office in the luxurious Hôtel Majestic ... He also spent his days in Paris collecting rare books, cultivating mistresses, coining aphorisms to add to his diaries and mingling in the moral soup with artists and writers ... Jünger’s war diaries, translated here with damning clarity by Thomas and Abby Hansen, are a fascinating, refined and disturbing record of the moral disasters of Nazism and collaboration. Color Photos of Paris During the Wartime OccupationAndré Zucca Color photos by French photographer André Zucca show daily life in Paris during the years of the World War II German occupation, 1940-1944. The Woke Have No Vision of the FutureJohn Gray – UnHerdAs some conservative commentators have observed, there are striking similarities between woke militants and the Bolsheviks who seized power in 1917. But what is unfolding, in the US and to a lesser extent in other countries, is at once more archaic and more futuristic than a twentieth century revolutionary coup. The current convulsion is an outbreak more closely akin to the anarchical millenarians movements that raged across Europe in the late Middle Ages … Woke activists, in contrast, have no vision of the future … Rather than aiming for a better future, woke militants seek a cathartic present. Cleansing themselves and others of sin is their goal … More than the faux-Marxian musings of postmodern thinkers, it is the singular American faith in national redemption that drives the woke insurgency. Israel Attack Kills Dozens of Syrian Soldiers and 'Iranian Militia Operatives.' But Who’s Counting?Gideon Levy - Haaretz (Israel)… The victims of yet another Israeli air strike in Syria. Who’s heard about it? Who knows about it, who cares? Who has the energy to look into it? … On Monday night 11 more people are killed in a raid in southern Syria, attributed to Israel. On Wed night, Syria reported another strike. According to the Damascus Center for Human Rights, three of the victims were Syrian soldiers and seven were “Iranian militia operatives,” which automatically justifies any bombing … Every few weeks there is an air strike in Syria, usually with lethal results. On July 20, five deaths were reported in a strike in Damascus. On June 23, five Iranians and two Syrians were killed in an attack attributed to Israel. On June 4, there were nine victims in a bombing by warplanes firing from Lebanese airspace, attributed to Israel … Hypocrisy Thy Name is ZionPhilip Giraldi There is a tendency on the part of major Jewish groups in the United States and in Europe to discover what they describe as anti-Semitism wherever one turns … The lead organization in shaping the acceptable narrative is the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which promotes itself as “Fighting Hate for Good.” In other words, anyone on the other side of the narrative is by definition a “hater.” … So, once again, it is all about the perpetual victimhood of Jews … It is of course the ultimate irony that Jewish groups are very sensitive to the suffering of blacks in the United State while at the same time largely ignoring the war crimes and other devastation going on in Israel and Palestine at the hands of their co-religionists. George Orwell’s 1940 Review of Mein Kampf… Hitler could not have succeeded against his many rivals if it had not been for the attraction of his own personality, which one can feel even in the clumsy writing of Mein Kampf, and which is no doubt overwhelming when one hears his speeches …The fact is that there is something deeply appealing about him. One feels it again when one sees his photographs … One feels, as with Napoleon, that he is fighting against destiny, that he can’t win, and yet that he somehow deserves to … Also he has grasped the falsity of the hedonistic attitude to life … However they may be as economic theories, Fascism and Nazism are psychologically far sounder than any hedonistic conception of life. Gorbachev's Look at Soviet History: Insightful and NaiveBasil Dmytryshyn – Institute for Historical ReviewJust how and why did the Soviet Union collapse? Was the demise of this once-mighty empire inevitable? In this important book, the last leader of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and the last President of the USSR, offers answers to these questions and provides valuable insights on the 70-year Soviet experiment, including its origins and collapse, an assessment of his tenure as the last Soviet leader, and reflections on current global issues. On My Country and the World is organized into three parts … Gorbachev tried to maintain the multi-national USSR, but reorganized on a voluntary basis. What he failed to appreciate is the deeply entrenched resentment based on the fact that the country’s many non-Russian nationalities (who made up nearly half the total population) had been forcibly brought under Moscow's control … White Jewish Professor Who Posed as Black Woman Quits UniversityAFPA white Jewish US university professor who lied for years about being black has quit her job at George Washington University in the capital Washington, the school said Wednesday. “Update regarding Jessica Krug: Dr. Krug has resigned her position, effective immediately,” the university said on its Twitter account. Krug — a history professor focusing on Africa — said she had been pretending to be black “for the better part” of her adult life. “I have eschewed my lived experience as a white Jewish child in suburban Kansas City under various assumed identities within a Blackness that I had no right to claim,” Krug wrote in a post on the platform Medium. Krug, who is light-skinned, said she first claimed “North African Blackness, then US rooted Blackness, then Caribbean rooted Bronx Blackness.” Volkswagen México Acts on Wiesenthal Center Demand to End all Relations with the Dealership in Coyoacán Simon Wiesenthal Centre - EuropeThe Wiesenthal Centre had called for the intervention of Volkswagen headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany, to demand that Volkswagen Mexico drop all relations with its Coyoacan dealership due to its display of Nazi posters. It took less than three hours for the Centre’s Director for International Relations, Dr. Shimon Samuels, to receive a message from Robin Aschhoff, Head of International Communications for Volkswagen. In parallel, the Centre’s Latin America Director, Dr. Ariel Gelblung, pressed Volkswagen Mexico, resulting in the attached press release announcing Volkswagen Mexico’s end to any commercial and business relationship with the dealership. Get Out of SyriaDaniel Larison - The American Conservative Why are there still thousands of American troops in Syria? The government offers up an official counter-terrorism justification for maintaining an illegal military presence in the country, and the president will sometimes talk about “keeping the oil” there, but the real answer is that no one with any authority or influence in Washington wants to bring them home. The usual mix of inertia, cowardice, and ideology that defines so many of our foreign policy debates also creates perverse incentives for politicians in both parties to defend an illegal, unauthorized mission that has nothing to do with American security … Congress never authorized it, and U.S. forces are in Syria without the permission of the government in Damascus. American troops are illegally operating in a country whose government the U.S. isn’t formally at war with … The US Deep Divide Isn’t New E. Spitznagel - New York Post … “I didn’t come along and divide this country,” President Trump said at his first presidential press conference in 2017. “This country was seriously divided before I got here.” He’s not wrong, says Kreitner. “Our most powerful myth, that the many ever melded into one, is just that: a myth,” he writes. “Our refusal to recognize this, like patients who insist, against all evidence, that they are not ill, has been a major cause of our political dysfunction.” According to a 2019 Georgetown poll, 67 percent of Americans think we’re heading toward an inevitable civil war. Media on both sides have stoked the flames, with CNN talking heads and Rush Limbaugh alike predicting the country’s dissolution. A Washington Post headline from last year gave this chilling assessment: “In America, talk turns to something not spoken of for 150 years: Civil war.” Stop Pretending the BLM Protests Were Peaceful Michael Tracey - UnHerdHaving spent the past month traveling around the United States — from major cities to the countryside — the scale of the ‘movement’ which erupted in late May after the death of George Floyd is almost incomprehensible. According to the New York Times, which relays their finding with obvious excitement, the ‘movement’ (its precise contours seldom defined) “may be the largest” in U.S. history … From large metro areas like Chicago and Minneapolis/St. Paul, to small and mid-sized cities like Fort Wayne, Indiana and Green Bay, Wisconsin, the number of boarded up, damaged or destroyed buildings I have personally observed — commercial, civic, and residential — is staggering … It’s abundantly clear that there was a strong ideological component to these riots, one that’s also been under-emphasised by the media … How a Generation Lost Its Common CulturePatrick DeneenMy students are know-nothings … The end of history for our students signals the End of History for the West … What our educational system aims to produce is cultural amnesia, a wholesale lack of curiosity, history-less free agents, and educational goals composed of content-free processes and unexamined buzz-words … Our education system produces solipsistic, self-contained selves whose only public commitment is an absence of commitment to a public, a common culture, a shared history … Even on those better days, I can’t help but hold the hopeful thought that the world they have inherited – a world without inheritance, without past, future, or deepest cares – is about to come tumbling down, and that this collapse would be the true beginning of a real education. Many Russians Hoped That Hitler Would Free Them From StalinØ. R. Haanæs – University of Oslo (Norway)... Ethnic Russians were much less loyal to the Soviet regime in their encounters with the German occupiers than historians have believed up to now. This is the story told by UiO [University of Oslo] researcher Johannes Due Enstad, who has recently published a book about the German occupation of Northwest Russia during World War 2 ... According to Enstad, this German agricultural policy was the main reason why the positive attitude to the occupants lasted as long as it did ... “Many sources interviewed after the war tell us that, in a material sense too, they were better off during the German occupation than during the years after the Germans were chased into retreat,” says Enstad. Another reason for the relative popularity of the occupiers was their policy on religion ... Many priests openly supported the occupants and prayed for a German victory in their sermons. Fragile Loyalties: Soviet Russians Between Hitler and StalinJohannes Due Enstad - University of Oslo (Norway) ... My book is the first (in English) to focus on the occupation experience of a mostly rural Russian population ... Many in northwest Russia despised the Bolshevik regime for reasons grounded in their own personal experience, as even Soviet authorities had to admit. Another reason many Russians were ready to support or tolerate the German occupation regime has to do with German agricultural policy ... German authorities in northwest Russia allowed de-collectivization to go ahead, later institutionalizing it by decreeing a “New Agrarian Order” in spring 1942. Peasants naturally welcomed de-collectivization. In some places, tears of joy and “spontaneous cheers for the Führer” were observed ... People in the countryside “began to live a life both freer and more affluent than under Soviet power.” Denmark’s Jews Panicked by Proposed Ban on Circumcision on MinorsSputnik NewsThe Danish parliament is scheduled to consider a bill proposing a ban on non-medical circumcision of minors … Henri Goldstein, the president of the Jewish Society in Denmark, suggested that the proposed measure represents "the worst threat since World War II" to the country's Jewish community, who traditionally circumcise baby boys on their eighth day of life in a ritual known as brit milah … The proposal to ban the circumcision of minors is backed by 86 percent of Danes, according to TV2. In 2018, a bill to ban non-medical circumcision of minors was introduced in Iceland, but was scrapped amid an international outcry. The Warburgs: Profile of a Powerful Jewish DynastyJohn Weir – The Journal of Historical ReviewRon Chernow has written a detailed and sometimes tedious history of one of the world's most prominent international banking families [The Warburgs: The Twentieth-Century Odyssey of a Remarkable Jewish Family] ... Chernow provides insight into how Jewish patricians operate in society, and how their roles changed during the turbulent twentieth century ... If anyone can be called the father of the Federal Reserve Bank, the New York Times has rightly noted, it is Paul Warburg ... An international network of Jewish organizations and charities devoted to the well-being of Jewish communities around the world operated as a shadow government for this scattered, stateless population ... They also played a major role in domestic and international politics. Collusion: Franklin Roosevelt, British Intelligence, and the Secret Campaign to Push the US Into War Mark Weber Secretive and unlawful collusion by an American leader with a foreign power that subverts the US political process is not new. The most far-reaching and flagrant case was by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1940-41. In the months before the US formally entered the war in the wake of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt did everything he could to get America into the global conflict without actually declaring war. The cooperation with British intelligence by the President and other high-ranking US officials during that period was quite illegal. Such collusion by the nominally neutral US to further the war aims of a foreign government was contrary to both US law and universally accepted international norms. Revisionism and the Promotion of Peace By Harry Elmer Barnes ... Unless and until we can break through the historical blackout, now supported even by public policy, and enable the peoples of the world to know the facts concerning international relations during the last quarter of a century, there can be no real hope for the peace, security and prosperity which the present triumphs of science and technology could make possible. The well-being of the human race, if not its very survival, is very literally dependent on the triumph of revisionism. What Christians Don't Know About Israel By Grace Halsell American Jews sympathetic to Israel dominate key positions in all areas of our government where decisions are made regarding the Middle East. This being the case, is there any hope of ever changing U.S. policy? ... The answer to achieving an even-handed Middle East policy might lie elsewhere -- among those who support Israel but don't really know why. This group is the vast majority of Americans. They are well-meaning, fair-minded Christians who feel bonded to Israel - and Zionism - often from atavistic feelings, in some cases dating from childhood. Our Job in a Time of Crisis Institute for Historical Review Mark Weber explains why the work of the IHR in countering the forces of historical deceit, bigotry and cultural distortion is vitally important. An awareness of factual history is essential to an understanding of ourselves and the great issues of our age, says the IHR director in this five-minute video presentation. Unless and until the interests that have gripped our nation are clearly identified and discredited, he says, there will be no change in basic policies or direction. Biden Acknowledges 'Immense' Jewish Role in American Cultural Life and Mass Media By Mark Weber In a remarkable but under-reported address, Vice President Joe Biden acknowledged that the “immense” and “outsized” Jewish role in the US mass media and cultural life has been the single most important factor in shaping American attitudes over the past century, and in driving major cultural- political changes. “Jewish heritage has shaped who we are – all of us - as much or more than any other factor in the last 223 years. And that’s a fact," Biden told a gathering of Jewish leaders in Washington, DC. Why IHR Director Weber Is Still Banned From Britain: Institute for Historical Review Mark Weber, an American historian and director of the Institute for Historical Review, was banned from Britain in April 2015 by order of Theresa May, who later became the country’s Prime Minister. The decision to ban him was “taken personally” by May while she was serving as Home Secretary ... The Home Office finally ... accepted that the reasons for the 2015 exclusion order were insufficient, but cited new justifications to support a continued ban ... Weber explained in some detail just why the new examples of allegedly “unacceptable behavior” presented by the agency to justify a continued ban against him “lack any reasonable basis in fact,” are “weak, unconvincing or irrelevant,” and are “applied in an arbitrary way.” ... May has been one of the most ardently pro-Zionist political figures in modern British history. History and Historians By Revilo P. Oliver … The development of a working philosophy of history is the most urgent, as well as the most difficult, task of Twentieth Century thought … The future will always resemble the past because human nature does not change; men will always be actuated by the same basic desires and motives … The social and political questions of our day are all primarily historical problems. To think about them rationally, we must begin by consulting the record of human experience in the past. And we soon realize that if only we knew enough about history – and understood it – we should have the answers to all our questions.

By Mark Weber America's leaders understood Japan's desperate position: the Japanese were willing to end the war on any terms, as long as the Emperor was not molested. If the US leadership had not insisted on unconditional surrender -- that is, if they had made clear a willingness to permit the Emperor to remain in place -- the Japanese very likely would have surrendered immediately, thus saving many thousands of lives ... General Curtis LeMay, who had pioneered precision bombing of Germany and Japan (and who later headed the Strategic Air Command and served as Air Force chief of staff), put it most succinctly: "The atomic bomb had nothing to do with the end of the war." Liberating America From Israel By Paul Findley Nine-Eleven would not have occurred if the U.S. government had refused to help Israel humiliate and destroy Palestinian society. Few express this conclusion publicly, but many believe it is the truth. I believe the 9/11 catastrophe could have been prevented if any U.S. president in recent decades had had the courage and wisdom to suspend all U.S. aid until Israel withdrew from the Arab land seized in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. The U.S. lobby for Israel is powerful and intimidating, but any determined president could prevail and win overwhelming public support for the suspension of aid by laying these facts before the American people. Our Mission and Record Institute for Historical Review In this five-minute video presentation, IHR director Mark Weber explains the Institute’s mission and record. “We strive to provide factual information and sound perspective on US foreign policy, World War Two, the Israel-Palestine conflict, Middle East history, the Jewish-Zionist role in cultural and political life, the ‘Holocaust’ remembrance campaign, war propaganda, and much more.” The IHR, is also explains, is an “independent educational center and publisher that works to promote peace, understanding and justice through greater public awareness of the past, and especially socially-politically relevant aspects of modern history.”    During most of April and May we weren’t able to process and ship orders, due to the pandemic and the restrictions imposed to deal with it. We apologize for the delay and inconvenience.   Throughout this trying period, we carried on our work. We continued to issue our IHR News and Comment newsletter, to regularly update our website, to conduct interviews, and so forth.   As ever, we’re reaching activists, students, educators and opinion-makers – across America and around the world -- with solid information and sound perspective that’s vitally important in the battle for freedom and historical truth.   Fortunately, we’re still able to accept online credit card donations IHR Billboard in San Francsico Transit Stations Generates Wide Media Attention Institute for Historical Review A public service ad by the Institute for Historical Review at San Francisco transit stations has generated wide media attention. The electronic display board, which proclaims “History Matters!,” went up on Sept. 3 at two downtown stations, where it’s scheduled to remain until the end of the month. The Bay Area Rapid Transit Authority (BART) has come under criticism for accepting the billboard, but the agency explains that it has no legal basis for rejecting it. The ad has prompted considerable media coverage, including reports by several California daily newspapers, local television stations, Fox News, Jewish community outlets, and other US based media, as well as by three major British newspapers. The “History Matters!” message is very much in keeping with the Institute’s work and purpose, says the IHR director. How Hitler Tackled Unemployment and Revived Germany’s Economy By Mark Weber To deal with the massive unemployment and economic paralysis of the Great Depression, both the US and German governments launched innovative and ambitious programs. Although President Franklin Roosevelt’s “New Deal” measures helped only marginally, the Third Reich’s much more focused and comprehensive policies proved remarkably effective. Within three years unemployment was banished and Germany’s economy was flourishing. And while Roosevelt’s record in dealing with the Depression is pretty well known, the remarkable story of how Hitler tackled the crisis is not widely understood or appreciated. 'Darkest Hour': Great Movie, Defective History By Mark Weber ... While it’s an artistic achievement and grand entertainment, “Darkest Hour” is badly flawed history ... “Darkest Hour” reinforces the widespread belief that Churchill’s speeches played a crucial role in sustaining British morale. A scholar who has carefully looked into the matter has found that this view is largely a myth ... “Darkest Hour” reinforces the widely held impression, which Churchill himself encouraged, that an honorable or lasting peace with Hitler was simply not possible. But as he himself later acknowledged, that’s simply not true ... The British leader’s famous “We shall never surrender” speech was little more than “sublime nonsense,” says British historian John Charmley. New Staff Member Sought Institute for Historical Review We’re looking for a suitable person to join our team here in southern California, on a part-time or full-time basis. He or she will work on publishing and outreach, including social media, and will handle some website formatting, and office tasks. He or she must be able to write and edit with skill and discernment. He or she must have good communication skills, a responsible attitude, initiative, and regard for the ideals and goals of the IHR. Why Germany Attacked the Soviet Union Institute for Historical Review As dawn was breaking on Sunday morning, June 22, 1941, military forces of Germany, Finland and Romania suddenly struck against the Soviet Union. The stunning news of this attack was announced to the world by German radio at 5:30 that Sunday morning, when Reich Minister Joseph Goebbels broadcast the text of a proclamation by Adolf Hitler to the German people that laid out his reasons for the historic offensive. Following that was the broadcast of Germany's declaration of war against the Soviet Union. This was in the form of a diplomatic note to the Soviet government. Because Hitler's proclamation and the German Foreign Office declaration explain at some length the reasons and motives for the fateful decision to strike against the USSR, these are documents of historic importance. With a foreword by Mark Weber. YouTube Censors 'Restrict' IHR Videos Institute for Historical Review In line with a recent crackdown policy, YouTube has “restricted” a number of independently produced videos of IHR talks and presentations. To watch a “restricted” video, the viewer must first click through a warning screen. Also, comments on the video are not allowed, and the number of views is not given. Even worse, YouTube will never “suggest” a “restricted” video to viewers, which is how many people find our videos. While YouTube claims that its “restriction” policy is aimed at videos with “inflammatory religious or supremacist content,” applying it to IHR videos is absurd. YouTube restricts our voice not because we have violated any objective standards, or because we have done anything wrong or illegal -- but because it doesn’t like what we say. In 'Eisenhower's Death Camps': A U.S. Prison Guard Remembers By Martin Brech ... In Andernach about 50,000 [German] prisoners of all ages were held in an open field surrounded by barbed wire. The women were kept in a separate enclosure that I did not see until later. The men I guarded had no shelter and no blankets. Many had no coats. They slept in the mud, wet and cold, with inadequate slit trenches for excrement ... I encountered a captain on a hill above the Rhine shooting down at a group of German civilian women with his .45 caliber pistol. When I asked, "Why?," he mumbled, "Target practice," and fired until his pistol was empty. The US Government’s Groundless 'Terrorism' Designation of a Little-Known Russian Group By Mark Weber The US government has formally designated the Russian Imperial Movement (RIM) – a small Christian monarchist outfit based in St. Petersburg – as a terrorist organization, and has imposed sanctions on the group and its leaders. This characterization is groundless and hypocritical … Pompeo justifies the designation by claiming that the Russian group’s activities “threaten the national security and foreign policy of the United States.” He provides no evidence whatsoever to support this far-fetched assertion. Pompeo misrepresents the group’s principles and activities … The US government’s action against this little-known Russian group seems to be more a publicity gesture by a beleaguered administration than a serious effort to counter any real threat. Stalin's War Against His Own Troops By Yuri Teplyakov … In August 1941 Hitler permitted a Red Cross delegation to visit the camp for Soviet POWs in Hammerstadt. It is these contacts that resulted in an appeal to the Soviet government, requesting that it should send food parcels for our officers and men. We are prepared to fulfill and comply with the norms of the Geneva convention, Moscow said in its reply, but sending food in the given situation and under fascist control is the same as making presents to the enemy … How great was Stalin's hatred for those who had found themselves behind enemy lines. It made no difference: who, where, how and why? Even the dead were considered to be criminals. Year-End Progress Report: Concluding a Productive Year By Mark Weber - December 2018 While this past year has been another busy and productive one, we’ve also had to deal with more vicious media smears and new efforts to shut us down ... In September an IHR digital display billboard went up at two major transit stations in the heart of San Francisco. This bold public service ad generated considerable media coverage ... More than 800 articles, essays and reviews of the Institute for Historical Review, totaling more than three million words, were re-posted on The Unz Review, an influential, information- packed website ... Throughout this past year, large IHR display ads have been appearing regularly in the American Free Press, a bold, independent bi-weekly newspaper. These ads have been generating a steady stream of orders and inquiries. Donald Trump’s Erratic and Dangerous Foreign Policy Mark Weber - Podcast In this 45-minute talk, given at an IHR meeting, Weber reviews Donald Trump’s foreign policy record. Trump’s actual policies as president, Weber shows, have been a drastic betrayal of pledges he made before taking office. For example, Trump repeatedly spoke against US military involvement in the Syria conflict, especially without specific Congressional authorization. But as President he has stepped up the US role in the war, even ordering a missile strike against a Syria air base – a violation of both US law and international law. For President Trump, Israel’s enemies are America’s enemies. Consistent with that, he threatens war against Iran. Weber recalls President Eisenhower’s foreign policy record and outlook during the 1950s, and shows how they contrast sharply with those of President Trump. German Soldiers of World War II: Why They Were the Best, and Why They Still Lost By Mark Weber The German soldiers of World War II have often been portrayed, both during the war and in the decades since, as simple-minded, unimaginative and brutish ... As specialists of military history who have looked into the matter agree, the men of Germany’s armed forces -- the Wehrmacht -- performed with unmatched ability and resourcefulness throughout the nearly six years of conflict ... High-ranking British military figures were similarly impressed with the skill, tenacity and daring of their adversaries. “Unfortunately we are fighting the best soldiers in the world – what men!,” exclaimed Lt. Gen. Sir Harold Alexander, commander of the 15th Army Group in Italy, in a March 1944 report to London. Aphorisms: From the Writings of Oswald Spengler … Little as we know about the events of the future, one thing is certain: the moving forces of the futures will be none other than those of the past – the will of the stronger, healthy instincts, race, will to property, and power.; Society is based on the inequality of men. This is a fact of nature.; Who would have thought that history lessons and the political education of the people are one and the same?; The great man lives in such a way that his existence is a sacrifice to his idea.; This is our task: to make as meaningful as possible this life that has been bestowed upon us, this reality with which fate has surrounded us; to live in such a way that we be proud of ourselves; to act in such a way that some part of us lives on.; The essence of religion is perhaps most clearly recognized in what it does not tolerate. By Mark Weber Jon Utley, a dedicated activist for a sane and peaceful US foreign policy, has died. Through his own work and many writings, and in his support for a range of groups – mostly conservative, anti-war and libertarian – he defended intellectual freedom and historical rigor, and promoted public awareness of the forces that push for war and oppression. During the last two decades of his life, this gracious and principled man was a friend and supporter of the Institute for Historical Review … His personality and worldview were indelibly shaped by his unusual background and upbringing … Those us who knew him will remember Jon Utley with gratitude and admiration. His personality and record of principled activism will long remain an inspiration. Atzmon, MacDonald, and Weber Speak on Jewish–Zionist Power at Spirited IHR Meeting Institute for Historical Review At a special IHR meeting on Oct. 1, 2016, three seasoned specialists provide informed perspective, each from a different angle, on aspects of Jewish-Zionist power. Kevin MacDonald, a retired professor who has written extensively on the Jewish role in history and contemporary life, takes a close look at Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election campaign. Gilad Atzmon, who was born in Israel and now lives in Britain, reviews the Jewish role in Capitalism, Marxism, Communism, and other major intellectual-political trends in modern history. Mark Weber reviews the lives and careers of both MacDonald and Atzmon in his introductions of those two speakers. In his own address Weber provides an overview of Jewish-Zionist power and its enormous impact on American society and the world. The 'Good War' Myth of World War II, and Why It's Dangerous By Mark Weber How accurate is this hallowed portrayal of America's role in World War II? As we shall see, it does not hold up under close examination ... The three Allied leaders accomplished what they accused the Axis leaders of Germany, Italy and Japan of conspiring to achieve: world domination ... Presidential deception to justify war did not start with George W. Bush. Americans who express admiration for the US role in World War II, and for Franklin Roosevelt's presidential leadership, have little moral right to complain when presidents follow his example and lead the country into war by breaking the law, subverting the Constitution, and lying to the people. An American Historian Looks at 'Ethnic Cleansing' of Germans By Robert Clive The grim fate of the 15 million German civilians who found themselves trapped in the path of the Red Army in the closing months of World War II, or on the wrong side of the re-drawn postwar borders, is not a topic that has tended to excite the interest of historians. And the general public, which is subjected to constant reminders about wartime Nazi brutality, is certainly not aware that at least two million Germans lost their lives in the course of flight and mass expulsion from their ancestral homes in Eastern Europe. Alfred de Zayas, a graduate of Harvard Law School who earned a doctorate in history at the University of Göttingen in Germany, has devoted much of his professional career to setting the record straight. Behind 'An Eye for An Eye': Postwar Revenge and Hate By John Sack ... I learned that the Office of State Security [in Poland] ran 227 prisons for German civilians like Lola's. It also ran 1,255 concentration camps, and I interviewed four of the commandants. They were also Jews ... He picked up a wooden stool and he started beating the Germans to death. For this one camp, I found the death certificates for 1,583 Germans. In other camps and other prisons, thousands of German civilians died. German men, women, children, babies. At one camp there was a barracks for fifty babies. Revisiting the 'Good War’s' Aftermath Dwight D. Murphey … The American public has long thought of the Allied effort in World War II as a “great crusade” that pitted good and decency against Nazi evil. Even after all these years, it is likely that the last thing the public wants to learn is that vast and unspeakable wrongs were committed by both the Western Allies and the Soviet Union during the war and its aftermath. It flies in the face of that reluctance for MacDonogh to tell “the brutal history” at great length [in his book, After the Reich: The Brutal History of the Allied Occupation]. That willingness is commendable for its intellectual bravery. Hollywood’s Agenda, and the Power Behind It Mark Weber ... Even many of those who readily acknowledge the tremendous influence of American film and television seem not to fully comprehend the formidable scope of the power behind Hollywood, or the outlook and agenda of those who wield that power ... Hollywood, together with the rest of the Jewish-Zionist dominated US media, sensationalizes and distorts current events, systematically falsifies history, promotes debased “entertainment” and perverse cultural standards, and makes possible the Jewish-Zionist hold on American political life ... No To War, Bigotry and Oppression! No to the Wiesenthal Center! Institute for Historical Review The Simon Wiesenthal Center, based in Los Angeles, is one of the most influential Jewish organizations in the world ... Although it claims to promote "tolerance," and makes a pretense of concern for humanity, the Center's real agenda is a narrowly Jewish-Zionist one. The Wiesenthal Center is a staunch supporter of Israel and its Jewish supremacist regime. It fervently defends Israel’s policies of oppression, occupation, dispossession, and institutionalized discrimination against non-Jews. Tactics of Organized Jewry in Suppressing Free Speech Prof. Tony Martin – Institute for Historical Review ... I’m going to try to extract from my experience certain basic sort of tactics that I think the Jewish lobby has used over the years pertaining to my particular situation ... The first and major tactic that I discovered in their attack on me was their reliance on lies -- just straight-up lies. There’s no other way to describe it, just telling lies. Many of the categories that I will enumerate overlap, and many of them could also come under this general rubric of telling lies. But I think that if one had to isolate a single tactic, it was a tactic of telling lies. I think they’ve elevated telling lies to a very high artistic form. On the Importance of Revisionism For Our Time By Murray Rothbard Revisionism as applied to World War II and its origins (as also for previous wars) has the general function of bringing historical truth to an American and a world public that had been drugged by wartime lies and propaganda ... Revisionism brings to the artificial frenzy of daily events and day-to-day propaganda, the cool but in the last analysis glorious light of historical truth. Such truth is almost desperately needed in today's world. The Danger and Challenge of Jewish-Zionist Power By Mark Weber ... As long as the power of what Desmond Tutu calls “the very powerful” Jewish lobby remains entrenched, there will be no end to the systematic Jewish distortion of history and current affairs, the Jewish-Zionist domination of the US political system and the American media, Zionist oppression of Palestinians, the bloody conflict between Jews and non-Jews in the Middle East, and the Israeli threat to peace. That’s why no task is more important or pressing than to identify, counter and break this power. Fraudulent Nazi Quotations By Mark Weber Fraudulent quotations attributed to Hitler and other Third Reich leaders have been widely circulated for years. Such quotes are often used by polemicists -- of both the left and the right -- to discredit their ideological adversaries by showing that Nazis held similar views. Here's a look at a few of the many remarks falsely attributed to Hitler and other top Nazis. Yale Student News Site Abruptly Drops IHR Banner Ad Institute for Historical Review After just two days, the Yale Daily News website removed a banner display ad of the Institute for Historical Review. Although it was scheduled to run for a week, the site of the student newspaper of Yale University dropped the public service advertisement without notice or explanation on Friday, Sept. 20. The banner ad featured the IHR motto, “For a More Just, Sane and Peaceful World.” A viewer who clicked on it was taken to the home page of the IHR website. Last year an IHR public service billboard at two San Francisco transit stations prompted wide media attention. Churchill and U.S. Entry Into World War II By David Irving ... If I'm known for anything as a historian, apart from being a pain in the neck, it's because I uncover things. And uncovering things does not necessarily mean you go into the archives and see something and say: "Look at this, this is something quite extraordinary." If you go into the archives long enough, ten or twenty years, you become what I would call a "gap-ologist" ... Now what a scandalous statement that is! Here's the one country, Germany, trying to prevent anwar and the other country -- Roosevelt, neutral -- trying to fan the flames of anti-German feeling to fuel the war. Yet it is the Germans who are called the criminals, and the Americans who do the prosecuting.
