Gus > the official yet covert British policy was to give Germany --Nazi Germany, that is-- a free hand in Eastern and Central Europe AND ALSO a free hand at home! Nazi persecutions against political and ethnic minorities were deemed "domestic", "internal" matters that German authorities ought to handle as they saw fit....
I agree with that view. Bolshevism was a far greater threat to the west than Nazism -- until Hitler signed a non-aggression pact with Stalin. In fact, I understand that right until the end of the war the Germans believed that the West would unite with them in a war against the USSR. So much so, in 1945 they hardly defended their western border and put most of their troops on the Russian front hoping that the Allied forces would then be able to occupy Germany. But, as you know, the Allied advance stopped at the Elbe and Germany was split.
> Bush, Blair and Chirac, Schroeder condone Russian atrocities committed against Chechnyans and other Caucasian minorities yet they won't blurt it... They merely pay lip service to "human rights" and hope for a peaceful, political settlement...
I think what they are doing is far more covert -- namely organising "democratic" revolutions in the former Soviet republics, as they are doing in Lebanon, right now. Accordingly, the Russian atrocities and oppression do not pass unnoticed but are used to foment uprisings.
> The US is sort of a modern Weimar Germany whose growing restlessness poses a global threat.... Somehow, it seems to me that the US increasingly needs to wage war ABROAD in order to avoid war AT HOME
Indeed. In fact, under Clinton the whole focus of the establishment was to discredit the right-wing, "white supremacists" which was, of course, the reason for the state-sponsored bombing of the Murrah building. After W was elected, the focus changed as the right-wing, white supremacists were used to head the "charge" against the Muslim terrorists. Then the liberals were able to withdraw into the shadows where they could, covertly, still continue to support the status quo while, overtly, pretend to oppose it.
> Clinton opened the door to (a second) civil war in the US! Hence the Judeocon plot to conjure up an ALIEN enemy: al qaeda, bin laden, zarqawi, etc
Sure. And, indeed, it was a civil war -- of sorts. A civil war which the "South" (red states) won. But the "Judeocon" plot also had another objective, as you well know, and a very clever one at that. It utilized the anger which was generated in the US by the liberal-conservative conflict to advance the interests of Israel. Indeed, by apparently uniting the conflicting elements in the US, the neocons appeared almost Garribaldi-like -- acting in the greater good of the nation -- while nothing was, in fact, further from their minds. Confidence tricksters and rogues par excellence. |
