In my early retirement, I've decided to read at least an hour a night in real paper books. So far, I've read:

- my dad's old college English book (always felt I needed to improve my grammar)
- Candide by Voltaire
- Beyond Good and Evil by Nietzsche
- The Politics by Aristotle

Now I'm reading The Prince by Machiavelli, and really enjoying it. One tip: before invading, look for minorities who will help you because they resent the traditional rulers in their own country. They may in fact invite you in to help them overthrow their own country. This makes me think that the Chinese have read The Prince and are using BLM, gays, and militant feminism as allies in their fight against America.

This book, Rise and fall of the Third Reich, was written in 1960, and has 4 million total dead, including the Jews.

I'm getting close to halfway into the book, so going to watch this 1977 German documentary now:

Hitler: A Career

First half was very good, all the footage is original from back then. Will watch the second half tomorrow.

Agrees with the book's story of Hitler's rise pretty exactly.

From from a speech by Hitler in 1938 or 1939 which he points out that the English were oppressing the Irish (even using the Irish word for their prime minister) and that the English were occupying Palestine.

Churchill drew up secret plans to exterminate the Irish with poison gas if Ireland gave up its neutrality to side with the Nazi's in WWII.

This is consistent with Churchill's initiation of saturation bombing of German civilians in WWII. He did this to divert the German bombers which were decimating RAF fields along the Southern coast of England. Hitler took the bait and started the Blitz, sparing the remaining RAF forces.

Certain baleful numerologies of the "H" variety attributed to Hitler served the purpose of demonizing him above and beyond, ostensibly to cover up the many atrocities committed by the Tavistock besotted Churchill and Eisenhower. Not the least of the atrocities was the purposeful starving to death by Churchill and Eisenhower of over a million prisoners of war after WWII. Before WWII, wars were fought largely on fronts that wobbled back and forth. Tavistock came up with the bright idea of bombing civilian workers, not factories, because the Royals and the western bankers investors in Hitler did not want their infrastructure and factory investments damaged.

Albert Speer pointed out in WWII that the war would have quickly ended if the Allies just bombed the ball bearing factories in Germany. Not only did they not bomb the ball bearing factories, they continued to sell the Germans ball bearings and Ford supplied the Germans with military vehicles.

WWII was a Tavistock depopulation agenda as one facet at least.

Also interesting is that Hitler consistently made peace proposals to Britain. Even captured internal documents show that he really did not want to fight them, seeing them as Germanic cousins.

But Britain had a mutual defense treaty with Poland, and Germany had invaded Poland, causing Britain to declare war on Germany. Then Hitler invaded Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, bringing additional complex alliances into play.

Hitler was willing to leave his conquests at that for a while at least, but Britain insisted on continuing the war.

Hitler claimed that Britain tried for centuries to prevent any power on the continent of Europe from becoming strong enough to rival them, and this seems to be true.

If Russia had remained allied with Germany, Germany likely would have kept those territories. But after Russia turned against Germany, everything changed. It was not Britain or even America that defeated the Germans. It was primarily Russia, and at an immense cost in Russian lives lost, something like 20 million.

Funny how that did not apply to Britain declaring war on the USSR when the USSR invaded Poland also in 1939.

You could say a lot of that about the Irish.


Also, a good sense of humor and fun in life.

Thanks, that's very interesting! Never thought about it, but it's true.

I'm back on Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

Some interesting bits:

Lots of Russians absolutely loathed communism, so when Germany first invaded Russia, those Russians thought they were being saved from communism, and there were mass surrenders to the Germans. But then as the Russian prisoners were simply killed by the Germans via deliberate starvation and the civilian population enslaved and worked to death, they figured out that the Nazis were actually worse than the communists, so Russian nationalists made common cause with the communists for the duration of the war. About three million Russian prisoners of war were deliberately starved to death in camps. The camp commanders forbid the surrounding populations from giving the prisoners food.

Hitler also forbade his commanders for ordering mandatory vaccination of Russians, because he wanted the Russians to die of diseases. Silly Hitler! He could have conveniently killed them with injections just like Bill Gates has been doing to the world with the mRNA.
