Patriotism, Nationalism, Militarism, Fanaticism,
Totalitarianism and Barbarianism:
A Chain of Events

By Karl Hausner

(Continued from Human Rights Essays III)

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.

"Change of opinion is often only the progress of sound thought and
growing kowledge; and though sometimes regarded as
inconsistency, it is by the nobel inconsistency natural to a mind
ever ready for growth and expansion of thought, and that never
fears to follow where truth and duty may lead the way."
