                           A Chain of Events

      (Continued from Human Rights Essays II)

A dangerous situation surrounds the Jewish State. When Zionism
was organized, they planned to create a Jewish State from where
they were expelled almost two thousand years ago. This movement
started in Russia but, of course, it affected and influenced many
Jewish people throughout the rest of the world.

It must be remembered that the origination of Socialism is credited to
Karl Marx and he was Jewish. Most of his followers, Friederich
Engles, Lenin, Trotsky, etc., etc., were Jewish and thus, the Czar and
his government became anti-Semitic.

After the collapse of the German Empire, after World War I, the
National Socialists, under Hitler, blamed all the failures and
difficulties of the German and even Russian people on the Jews.
This, of course, was not true, even though, some elements of truth
existed. After Hitler was elected in Germany, many Jews from
Germany and Austria immigrated to the West, India, and to many
other parts of the world. The tension grew. In 1938, a radical Jew
assassinated the Ambassador's Aide, Doctor Von Rath in Paris. It
triggered the mob action of Nazi youths in Germany known as
Kristasllnacht, whereby innocent Jews were tortured and mistreated,
and synagogues were destroyed and even burned.

This reminds me of the time, after the bombing of our embassies in
East Africa in August of 1998, when President Clinton ordered the
missile attack on Sudan and Afghanistan. It was irresponsible for the
Nazis to do what they did before World War II, and it is equally
irresponsible for Clinton to have done what he did at this time. Are
there other reasons for the Nazi action? Some say this was to prove
to the German people that the Jews were terrible, and some now say
Clinton needed something to detract the attention from his personal,
immoral situation.

In 1943, during the height of World War II, there was an armed Jewish
ghetto uprising in Warsaw. Certainly it was organized and subsidized
by the Western Allies and it was a foolish deed. This forced the
German Army to bomb the ghetto and even more so, gave the Nazis
the excuse to arrest all of the remaining Jews within their
jusisdiction and throw them into concentration camps. Yes, this was
all in the name of freedom, patriotism and justice.

In Bohemia and Moravia, the Protectorate, the Czech people were
well off during World War II. They did not have to join the Army, they
worked in factories, were well paid and had a fairly good lifestyle.
The Allies initiated the assassination of the Governor Heydrich, in
order to create an upheaval among the Czech people. The Nazis, as
revenge, similar to Clinton's order, bombed the Czech village, Lidice.
Hundreds of innocent Czech people were killed, so hatred created
new hatred in the interest of what? Patriotism, freedom? And the
result was barbarianism.

During World War II and shortly thereafter, a number of Jewish,
radical terrorist organizatons operated within Palestine, of which
Menachim Begin was a most prominent member. He had British
installations in the Israel. Later he became President of Israel. Now,
of course, we call the others terrorists. They are terrorists and
criminals. When we supported them to perform the same or similar
acts, we called them freedom fighters. Isn't it pitiful for young
Israelis to wear the uniform and machine pistols for years and be in
the reserves.   They don'f know, whenever they drive by car or by
bus, a bomb might explode. Israelis have not learned to establish
relations with their hostile neighbors. without question, the Arab
world is extremely hostile to Israel, but isn't Israel fueling that
hostility? Erecting buildings in Arab settlements is a provocation.

It is the same provocation, or even more so, when, between World
War I and World War II the Czech government built Czech schools in
all German or Hungarian regions within the CSR. This is provocation,
this is hatred, and hatred even generates more hatred. It is certainly
not what the New Testament teaches. It is not Christianity in action.
It is radical nationalism.

Another activity which produces hatred is the Holocaust Museums.
They may achieve their goal within a certain period of time, but will
not establish the desired understanding and respect for the suffering
people.   These Holocaust Museums would be educational, if they
were set up objectively as concentration camp museums. They
would have to include the Nazi concentration camps, the
concentration camps of the Soviets, the forced labor camps in china
and those camps operated after World War II and even now in many
parts of the world. They should include the situations Native
Americans were subjected to and then perhaps future generations
could learn from it. But the way it is now, it only divides more and
more of the world.

Another example is Auschwitz, where in 1945-46 at the Nuremberg
Trial, the Soviets "provided evidence" that four and one-half million
Jews were gassed to death. Now, Jewish organizations claim that
the number is more like 1.2 million. However, Auschwitz was not just
a jewish camp, there were many other nationalities in it. During 1998,
in protest to this claim, Polish Catholcs have erected small crosses at
the Auschwitz campsite in memory of those Catholic Poles who died
there. This brought a massive protest by Jewish groups and finally
the Cardinal of Warsaw caved in, most likely from the pressure from
the Vatican, and stopped the erection of new crosses. The Jews
want it to be a Jewish memorial and, of course, the Polish people
also want to have their share of it. Who is going to benefit from this?

Now, turning to the present new era of terrorism and the future of
Israel. Israel is a very small country, a small nation, srrounded by
hostile neighbors. However, after fifty years, if good will would have
prevailed, a workable relationship could have been established as
was, for example, between France and Germany. No real love, but at
least no hostility.

The Israelis accuse the Arabs of terrorism and the Arabs say, "Well,
your state was founded by terror, your first President was a
terrorist". Israel must find a way to live with its neighbors. The
United States must give up using force everywhere they please. We
must return our troops home, protect our borders and tell our
industry to produce more consumer goods and fewer guns, tanks,
airplanes and missles. We import billions of dollars worth of
consumer products from Asia for consumption in the United States
and we export billions of dollars worth of weaponry to other
countries. Is this what our Founding Fathers were fighting for? I
doubt it very much.

We are told by our government that this country has the greatest
prosperity ever. A classic Clinton lie. The fact is that we have well
over five and one-half trillion dollalrs in federal debt well over a
trillion dollars in consumer debt, and most new construction is
financed with bonds. We have an ever-growing trade deficit and we
are continuously living off our resources with borrowed money.
More and more American families are in such situations that the wife
has to work. She cannot care for the family because of high taxes,
high interest, and all of the other things and, of course, because of
the ever-confusing lifestyle. More than one million homes nation
wide are in foreclosure because of greedy lenders, real estate
developers, and some criminalistic lawyers and real estate agents in
their profiteering pursuits.   The gas prices nation wide have run
amuck, and the media, the government, the bureaucrats, have yet to
tell the American public the truth about a faltering economy. In fact,
some media so-called professionals have even gone as far as to
blame the American citizens for a government that is badly in
dis-repair. We have been abused, cursed at, called un-patriotic, and
worst, if we dare to complain, while our Congress does absolutely
nothing to protect their constituents and our nation.   This, indeed, is
a traversity of fairness and justice, perpetrated by people in high
places that haven't got a clue what is going on.   It is easy to access
blame and even easier to lie about their inability to lead. But for
once, why don't they own up to their people, and for once tell the
truth...

We have well over two million people in prisons and if all who are
sentenced would have to stay in prison, we would have twice as
many there. If all criminals were caught5, convicted and sentenced,
we would have to double and triple our prisons. We have come to a
situation where over fifty percent of the Amercian people accept
immorality, extramartal and premarital sex or forms of sexual and
moral abuse, drug addiction, increasing alcoholism among the
young, and children at the ages of eight and ten committing crimes
and indulging in under-age sex orgies.

We have lost respect for ourselves, for our family and those of us
who are struggling are really struggling. More and more federal
agents are telling us how to manufacture things, how to farm and
everything the opposite of what our Founding Fathers had
envisioned. Yes, patriotism, if not very, very objectively scrutinized,
will lead to nationalism and nationalism is already a dangerous
situation.

Nationalism and socialism are very close and then comes the power
of government, totalitarianism and barbarianism, either by
government or by radical groups who ordain themselves in the name
of freedom and justice. We see it in Northern Ireland, we see it in
Kosovo and we see some of it between the black communities and
other ethnic communities in our cities and in many other fields. Yes,
we are still one of the best countries to live in, but will the
Twenty-first Century be the Century that we could lose what our
Founding Fathers had envisioned for us, and what Jesus Christ
proclaimed in the New Testament.

     Maneuvering The United States Into World War I?

                    INTRODUCTION

In this review, we will ask many questions and have some answers.
Ho did a person of poor parents attain the success of becoming a
professor of philosophy and later president of a nation? In addition,
how could a person, who was brought up speaking the German
language and enjoying German culture, a man who obtained all his
education in German, become a nationalistic Czech and the first
president of Czechoslovakia?

We shall also ask how Masaryk could get access to the American
political and financial elite. We will ask whether he influenced
President Wilson, as Wilson contemplated entering World War I, or
whether Wilson and his political and industrial elite used Masaryk as
an instrument to destroy the two largest monarchies in Europe,
Austria/Hungary and Germany.

                       Thomas Garrigue Masaryk
               March 7, 1850 - September 14, 1937

In 2000, the Czech Republic celebrated the birth of Thomas G.
Masaryk, its first president. In 1948, when the Communists took over
the country under Klement Gottwald, he was brought into discredit.
His monuments were removed because Masaryk was not a Marxist.

However, in the year 2000, a new statue to him was erected in
Prague. During the dedication, the American Secretary of State,
Madeleine Albright, who was born in Prague, was the guest of honor.
A great deal is known about Masaryk, though much more is kept
secret. Both the Encyclopedia Britannica and the German Brockhaus
say very little about his ancestry, upbringing, his frequent changes of
religion, political outlook, jobs and his activity in the United States.

Who actually was this man who is claimed to be a great humanist,
philosopher and statesman?

Most know that between 1918 and 1935 he was the first president of
Czechoslovakia, when his long time associate, Eduard Benes,
succeeded him. Masaryk died as a very wealthy person in the
prominent castle LANY in Bohemia.

During the celebrations in Prague and, of course, during the entire
era of post-war Czechoslovakia, the truth about Czech politicians
active during World War I and II, was distorted and this continues to
be the case even today. Although the Czech Republic is now part of
NATO and wants to join the European Union, the truth and even
justic are far from being implemented. Yet, it was Masaryk who
claimed that truth alone was the foundation of his newly created
country.

The average Czech, and for that matter most Americans, know that
Prague was the capital of Czechoslovakia and now the Czech
Republic. Very few know that this city was really not a Czech, but a
Bohemian city. Seven hundred years ago it was even the capital of
the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation under Emperor Karl IV,
a Frankonian.   Czech Nationalism and Communism have kept such
information away from the Czech people and the world. For
example, the fact that the oldest German University, the Karl's
University, was founded in Prague 700 years ago. Up to the
beginning of World War I, most cities in the present Czech Republic
were heavily populated by German people, and in many instances
they were the majority. All these cities except Tabor was founded
not by the Czechs but by the Germans. These two nations were
living together for almost 1500 years, generally in harmony. The
exceptions were the Hussite Wars, the time of the first Czechoslovak
Republic between 1919 and 1938 and, of course, after World War II,
when practically all Sudeten Germans - 3.5 Million of the them - were
brutally expelled from their homeland. More than 240 thousand
Sudeten Germans were killed during the process.

Masaryk, The Person:

His mother was the daughter of a German innkeeper in the old
German Town of Auspitz, Moravia. She went to Vienna for a short
time and then became the cook for a very wealthy family - the
Redlichs - a Jewish family whose language was German. His legal
father was an illiterate Hungarian Slovak by the name of Joseph
Masaryk. It was generally accepted, that his biological father was
Mr.Nathan Redlich. It was rather common, not just in wealthy Jewish
families, that young women, who kept the household, also served as
mistresses or concubines. After she was pregnant for a few months,
she married the much younger illiterate coachman at the Redlich
estate, to establish a legitimate family. They married on August 15,
1849; however, Thomas was born on March 7, 1850. It was a little
kept secret that the biological father was Nathan Redlich, who from
his own marriage had three sons, all of whom became well to do.
Since Masaryk's mother was German and the Redlich family spoke
German, Thomas grew up with the German language. He, in his later
years, spoke very highly of his mother, who gave him everything,
but he rarely mentioned his legal father or his half brothers.

Nathan Redlich was generous to Thomas Masaryk and it is well
known, that his attorney, Dr. Alois Prazak, of Bruenn (Brno) paid
frequent amounts to the Masaryk family for the education of Thomas.
As late as 1879, Masaryk's colleague Penicek had to translate his
positions into Czech. He spoke Czech with a strong German accent
until his death. Yet, he became a fanatical Czech nationalist, hating
the Habsburgs and perhaps due to that, everything German,
especially the Catholic Church.

Later, whe n Masaryk created Czechoslovakia, many Sudeten
Germans hoped and believed he would be friendly to them because
of his heritage. It is true, that Masaryhk recognized that the
Bohemian Germans or the Sudeten Germans were economically and
culturally more advanced than the Czechs.

His American Connections:

While Masaryk was studying in Leipzig, he met a wealthy American
music student, Charlotte Garrigue and married her. Through this
connection, he was exposed to the American financial, industrial and
political elite, especially to the extremely wealthy and influential
industrialist, Charles Crane who engaged Thomas as a consultant. It
was through Crane, that Masaryk got to know Woodrow Wilson.
Crane financed Wilson's election and Masaryk's son Jan was an
intern at the Crane industrial empire and later in the secretary of
state's office under Wilson. Jan even married Crane's daughter.

Although the United States had intensively engaged in the "melting
pot" ideology, eliminating the ethnic grouping in this country, Wilson
came up with the Fourteen Points of self-determination for Europe.
In the Habsburg Empire, fourteen nationalities, including Czechs and
Slovaks, harmonized relatively well, but Masaryk, as an extreme
nationalist, wanted the opposite. His self-determining ideology
appealed to many different Slavic American ethnic groups and the
Wilson administration. Thus, the United States entered the conflict,
proposing a self-determination concept for Austria - Ottoman Empire
- the enemy states. In other words Wilson's Fourteen Points, which
big business considered good business.

Without the American involvement in World War I, the nations
involved in this conflict would have to agree to a less dramatic
change. Hitler would have not won power later, and World War II
could have been avoided, as serious historians point out. Most
likely, the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia would have not succeeded
and Palestine would have remained under Turkish rule.

Historic Review of Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic:

Much has already been written about Thomas Garrigue Masaryk.
After a dispute, stretching over several years to find a suitable
location for a new Masaryk monument, the American Secretary of
State, Madeleine Albright, finally unvailed his new statue at his 150th
birthday at the Hradschin Plaza in Prague. Who actually was this
man, portrayed as a great humanist, philosopher and politician? The
world knows that he was the First President of the 1918/19 newly
founded, multinational State of Czechoslovakia, created at the
expense of the Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy and the various ethnic
groups, especially the 3.5 million Sudeten Germans and the close to
one million Magyrs.

On the presidential banner he had embroidered in Czech on one side,
in Latin on the other, his motto: "The Truth is Victorious!"

The entire history of Bohemia, Moravia and Sudeten-Silesia (in the
following only Bohemia), for centuries settled by Germans and
Czechs, some Jews, who were mostly German speaking, was woven
by the Czechs in mysticism and poetry, purposive fairy tales and
stories, beginning with forefathers, Czech and Libusche. In this
version, Karl IV is only spoken of as the King of the Czechs
(incorrectly), crowned in Zaachy. The fact that he was the Emperor of
the Roman Empire of the German Nation, and Zaachy, mentioned as
the old imperial city Aix-la-Chapelle, is conveniently withheld. The
Czech Hussites, who ravaged innumerable, mostly German villages,
towns and monasteries, murdering thousands of people, warded off
five crusades to the Holy Land, until they destroyed themselves in
1434 at Lipany. With that, the reign of terror of over 15 years, ended.
From 1620 until 1920, the Czechs allegedly had to endure 300 years
of darkness, although during the same time, Bohemia became the
economically highest developed province of the monarchy and
perhaps Europe. It should be stated, that Bohemia is incorrectly
translated as Chesky by Czech nationalists. Bohemia = Czech is
wrong, but is maintained to this day. The assertion, that formerly
many Czechs only spoke German is untrue! Further contortions and
portrayals could be added.

Similarly, Masaryk was given a halo until 1948. When the
Communists took over, he was considered a traitor by the Czech
Communists. So it was and is history being bent accordingly.

Masaryk's Autobiography:

He wrote of himself that he was a Slovak, later a Moravian, finally a
Czech. Was he not rather of German nationality and Austrian
citizenship. He declared his mother Theresia to be a German from
Auspitz (Hustopece). She was the daughter of a German innkeeper
and butcher, who later was the Mayor of Auspitz. After several years
in Vienna, she came to Goeding in 1849 to a well-to-do-Jewish family
by the name of Redlichs to be their personal chef. She only spoke
German, as the Redlich family also conversed in German. On August
15, 1849, she married the Hungarian Slovak by the name of Josef
Masaryk who worked for the Redlichs as coachman. He could not
read nor write and was a full 10 years younger than Theresia, When
Thomas was born     on March 7, 1850, it was an open secret in the
Redlich family, that Nathan Redlich was the biological father. He
already had three sons with his wife: Alois, Ignaz and Adolf. All
three of them became very successful. The son of Adolf, Josef
Redlich, was for many years Secretary of the Treasury in Vienna.
When Masaryk became President, he offered him the position of
Minister of Trade - respectively of Finance in Czechoslovakia. It is
known, that the lawyer of the Redlich family, who later became the
Minister in Bruenn, Dr. Alois Prazak, paid significant subsidies to the
mother of Masaryk for his education.   Masaryk himself and the
Redlich family were good friends all their lives, especially with Josef
Redlich and his wife Alice. A Redlich was also mayor of Goeding.
Masaryk hardly mentioned either his father, Josef Masaryk, or his
brother Martin and Ludwig, always emphasizing his mother, to whom
he felt he was indebted for everything, even though, she was
German and he was a "Czech". He pursued his study in Auspitz,
Bruenn, Vienna and Leipzig, studying exclusively in the German
language. It is understandable that many German-Bohemians saw in
Masaryk a person to be trusted. He in turn felt a certain respect for
the Germans, especially because of their economic achievement and
culture.

When he stood for the truth about the Koeniginhofer and
Gruenberger manuscripts (Czech language writings, centuries
before), which was unmasked to have been forged, Czech hostility
almost caused him to emigrate to the U.S.A. His lectures at the
Czech University were in the Czech language, even though, he had a
strong accent.

The life of Masaryk was rich in dramatic events, which apparently
shaped his work and his personality. One of those, for example, was
his defense of the Jew, Leopold Hilson, from Kuttenberg, falsely
accused of ritual murder and sentenced to death, whom he was able
to save before the man was executed. This was widely discussed in
American Jewish circles. Therefore, in 1907, Justice Louis D.
Brandeis of the U.S. Supreme Court, a good friend of Woodrow
Wilson, organized a "large reception" for Masaryk with the Jewish
community in New York. Large financial donations were collected
for him. Many other financial contributions were made to him and in
1918 he received for the not yet existing Czechoslovakia, a loan of
$10,000,000 from Wall Street.

Masaryk noted: "Especially in America, the Leopold Hilson case
proved to be a great success."

Politically, Masaryk made a name for himself through his writings,
among others The Czech Question and Russia and Europe. He
further became known through his intervention in the Agram (Zagreb)
trial of 1909 against Serbian rioters, insofar as he proved the
documentary evidence to be falsified.

A stroke of luck for him was his marriage to Charlotte Garrigue on the
15th of March in 1878 in New York. The father of Charlotte (whose
parents had emigrated to Denmark via Germany as French
Hugenotts) was at the time in training with the publisher Brockhaus
in Leipzig, from where he emigrated to America. He became wealthy
and in the end owned the largest fire insurance company in the
U.S.A. The family had eleven children, eight daughters and three
sons. In 1870 he visited Leipzig with part of his family. Charlotte
remained there for three years, studying music. In June of 1876,
Charlotte returned for another visit. At that time, Masaryk resided
with the Goering family, and so luck took its course. After the
wedding, the newly-weds lived in Vienna in a financially modest
situation. Here, on March 3, 1879, their daughter Alice was born, and
on the first of May in 1880, their son Herbert. Later in Prague, on the
14th of September in 1886, another son Jan entered the world, and on
the 25th of May in 1891, their daughter Olga. The older son Herbert
died at the early age of 35 on March 15, 1915.

A positive financial turn for Masaryk did not come until 1884. A rich
student, who died in Berlin, willed him his fortune. With that, the
Masaryks were able to move into a villa according to his status and to
pay off his debts in Vienna. Shortly thereafter, Charlotte's parents
died, so they also received a large inheritance from that side of the
family.

How Masaryk Influenced Historic Events
