Christmas morning music
Merry Christmas to all well-intentioned readers of the blog.

German Christmas 1942

Stray thoughts
You often hear or see the statement “The Third Reich was terrible because [whatever].” Often cited is euthanasia of the terribly mentally or even physically disabled etc. Few consider that that or similar happened also in the USA, UK etc in the 1930s, though not often admitted to.
When people today say that they are, say, Roman Catholic, do other people say “so you support the Inquisition?!” or “so you support the torture and genocide of the Cathars?!” No…yet the same or similar questioners might say to someone who is social-national politically, “so you support euthanasia of the badly-disabled?!” or “you support gassing Jews?!” (leaving aside the doubtful proposition about whether the fabled “gas chambers” even existed). They might as well demand an answer to the question “so you want to invade Poland?!“.
Point made, I think.
I happened to see the above when looking at old blog posts recently hit from some country or other; words I published nearly 3 years ago.

Not the most aesthetically pleasing, but no worse than much of what one sees in the UK.
“Campaign Against Antisemitism” take note.
Many, perhaps most, of the best-known (avowedly) feminist writers of the past century have been Jewish. Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem etc.
They always promote abortion (mainly of European/Aryan babies).

[“WHAT!!?? A teacher in an English school was accused of posing a risk to children and referred to the Government’s counter-terrorism programme after showing Donald Trump videos to his US politics class. The teacher, who is in his 50s, told The Telegraph he was “likened to a terrorist” after showing the videos, including one of Mr Trump’s inauguration, to A-level students. Henley College, a sixth-form in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, with more than 2,000 students, reported the politics lecturer to the local child safeguarding authority, which concluded a referral to Prevent was a “priority”. Insane.“]
When I was just 16, in late 1973, having dropped out of school [https://rbcs.org.uk/], I spent about a month at Henley College. Most of the students and staff were pretty thick. I especially remember one lecturer who was hugely offended because I attacked (verbally) Robert “Maxwell”; his reputation, not his corpulent person.
At that time, Maxwell was mainly known as a big businessman who was also resident in Oxfordshire, a few miles north of Oxford. This was 20 years before it became known that he had been defrauding his own Daily Mirror employees’ pension fund (in fact, this was years before Maxwell bought the Mirror; his main company then was Pergamon Press). Few knew then, in 1973, that Maxwell was a major MOSSAD asset.
I have an instinct. I knew that the bastard must be a fraud. Not just because he was a Jew, by the way.
I recall that silly staff member of Henley College getting really angry at me, and being so despite his not even being a Jew, as far as I could see. Well, as I say, most of the staff were pretty stupid people.
As for “Prevent”, I assessed it many years ago, in 2018:
Many Jews hate Christianity far more than they hate Islam, though that is usually concealed. Israel, the state of Israel, needs the stupid “Christian Zionists” as “useful idiots” to influence policy in Western capitals; the “Christian Zionists” are widespread in the USA, far less so in the UK, and pretty rare in Roman Catholic countries.
Cannot “afford” to hold elections, cannot “afford” to pay their soldiers, yet they persist in fighting Russia, one of the richest and most militarily-strong countries in the world.
