December 24, 1914 and the Propagandocracy

Last year I wrote about “Christmas in the Trenches”, the night of December 24, 1914 in the first year of WWI.

German, French and British soldiers realized that night, that the so-called enemy was just as human as they are.

Afterwards the soldiers involved in the incidence were dispersed and the dehumanizing propaganda campaigns against the other side started for real. The war-mongering elites on all sides had become afraid, that their cannon-fodder might no longer follow orders unconditionally, no longer be useful tools or pawns in the elite´s grand “chess games”.
And so German soldiers, for instance, were described in British, French and later on American “news” outlets as cannibals, roasting Belgian babies.

After WWI those lies were discredited by historians from all sides. And still, the dehumanizing campaigns did leave traces of anti-German feelings in most British, French and American people. Even Chesterton, a British author, who had been to Germany and admired the better social conditions for working class and poor people there, couldn´t help his severe dislike for the “Prussian way”, expressing this in some of his short stories.

Then the propagandocratic efforts of certain intellectual elites started for real. They figured it wasn´t enough to just tell lies about the chosen “enemy”, lies which could be discredited later on, the lies needed to have a foundation of truth.

And so the Versailles treaty was used as a tool to ruin Germany´s economy. Reparation payments were so heavy they could barely be made. The Ruhr area, the industrial heart of Germany, was kept occupied and the German central bank was privatized as part of the treaty.
And this very same central bank then supported the foreign speculation with German currency. While the German government had indeed ordered the printing of money to counteract the lack of money caused by the reparation burdens, the main cause of the hyper-inflation was not the money-printing but the currency speculation.
When the German middle-class lost all their savings their turned politically more and more to the right-wing parties.

And while the allies took a hard-line at the democratic German Weimar Republic government, at the very same time British, French and American financiers supported Hitler and the rising Nazi party,the most racist political movement in Germany. The Nazis were filled with an ethnically motivated superiority complex and they promoted hatred of Jews as well as of Polish and Russian people.
When Hitler came to power French and British financiers ever supported his rearmament of Germany, just as German, American and British ultra-rich financiers a few decades earlier had supported all the anti-Czarist revolutionary parties in Russia, including and especially the Bolshevists.

And now two brutal and fanatical regimes were facing each other, while a just as fanatical elite in Britain and America were manipulating the “game”. And once again populations everywhere were taught hatred against each other, so their young men could be turned into cannon-fodder. Whole nations would be pawns in the “game”.

William Engdahl writes in “Halford MacKinder’s Necessary War”:

Poland was to serve the same broad aim of British geopolitical strategy as Munich had some months before, if less obviously so.
As far back as July 1936, Chamberlain’s predecessor as Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin, had laid out to a group from the House of Lords, the policy for the coming European war. Baldwin, a director of Lothian’s Rhodes Trust, and a member of the inner circle of the Round Table, had told the Lords, “If there is any fighting in Europe to be done, I should like to see the Bolsheviks and the Nazis doing it.”

The true reason for WWI and WWII was the desire of British and British connected American elites to control the “Heartland” (Eastern Europe) and from there the European continent as a first step in controlling the whole world. A strong Germany and Russia were seen as obstacles to this aim, and Polland and rest of eastern European countries were seen as pawns.
10 Million people were killed in WWI and over 50 Million in WWII.
The Nazis and the Bolsheviks were created by manipulation, their atrocities were welcomed, so they could serve as symbols to be hated by all the decent people the western manipulative power elites needed to fight for them.

If we do not understand this history, we are indeed “doomed to repeat it”.

We the people of all nations need to stop hating or fearing one another, we need to stop falling for manipulations and propaganda lies, we need to stop being pawns in political games, as individuals or as groups.

We, the religious or the secular people in the world, the peoples of Europe and the peoples America and Asia and Africa and of the Australian continent, we all have the same single desire to live and raise our families in peace.
We all want to live free from oppression and domination by those who want to control us and force their will on us.
We all want to live under conditions where we can meet our basic needs for food, clothe and shelter, as well as our psychological needs of being part of a community of people, where we are accepted and appreciated.
All our needs can be met without any central authorities or powerful elites. We know that and the elites know that, that´s why they keep on building pyramids of lies and trenches of war for us to divide and conquer us.

We, the people, need to come out of the trenches and see one another as human beings, just as those soldiers did on this special Christmas Eve in 1914.

And we should never get back into those trenches again.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE

AND LET US NOT LOOSE HOPE, THAT FREEDOM AND PEACE FOR ALL OF US ARE BOTH POSSIBLE
