... and this is why they are so desperate to rewrite or eradicate history...

I usually try to stay away from political opinions and posts. Why? Simple, they are like assholes, everyone has one, everyone blows hot air out of them, and in most cases they all stink. Here is one thing so that I really can't ignore, and it is that what we have been watching over several years now and getting stronger and faster, is right out of the handbook used by the SS and Stalin, as well as many other historical figures throughout the old countries.

We are watching the systematic silencing and eradication of history, along with the rewriting of it. History has always been written by the Winners, that is just how it is. There are so many things missing in History books that it isn't funny, I could sit for hours and tell you things that I learned from my Foster Father while I grew up in Germany about WWII, Nazi Germany and the SS, which you'll never find in any History book. Why did I learn it? Because he lived through it, because he was a Soldier during those days. When he talked about it and told me about it, it wasn't to glorify what happened, nor did he make excuses or depicted "the guilt". No, he was stating and recounting facts as they were. It was a tale of caution, eye opening, and something that I will never forget.

I told you before, I was born and raised in Germany, living in the household of a family that was 60 years older than me. War might have been long over and Germany had recovered to a larger extend, but we lived under the "allied forces". I always laugh when I hear someone say, "Oh I was in Germany, I know all about it! I understand..." NO darling, you really don't. You were stationed there or on vacation there. You weren't subject to the rules and regulations we lived under. Most came into the country with an EGO a mile wide, having no idea why so many older German People didn't like them or trust them. One of the biggest things you forget is that we were literally split apart, as a country. That many of our freedoms were taken away. That the Government under the rulings of the Agreements made with those Allied Forces, were often very strict. We were sectioned up. depending where you lived. I grew up in the former West Germany in the American Sector. English was not an elective you took where I lived, it was a given. It was one of our rules, that the kids had to learn English. Funny, considering the first thing I noticed when I came to the USA back in 1988, is that here English which is supposedly the national language is almost optional.

That is AFTER the war is over, some recovery was made. If the "powers that be" wanted it, we were able to be told to stay in our houses and go on lock down. Sounds familiar? You still learned to be leery of your neighbor, because you never knew who turned you in for whatever reason. Sounds familiar?

Now let me take you back to the time of the War and before. Propaganda, separating people away from each other, making them afraid of one another, seeding hatred among each other, and it didn't matter which group you belonged to, was the going matter of the day. You need to separate individuals in order to assert control over them. A house united stands, a house divided falls. Very true. So they started seeding hatred, discontent, ill spoken words against one another to the point that it tore families apart. Even families turned against each other. The Economy never fully recovered from WWI in Germany, so people were living often beneath standards, which are very different there and they are what everyone is used to over here. No we are not a 3rd World Country, Germany was a World Power once upon a time. So was Russia. So was America, So was Rome. So were many, and all of the Giants got taken down slowly.

So you drive the people apart, make them spill hate speech against each other. Folks who tried to speak reason and tried to be Peacemakers, were silenced. An economy which was already rocky was made even more difficult. The Polizei was slowly starting to get changed, rules changed on them, and they were getting more and more pushed into the light of "the bad guys", since they needed to enforce the rules. Hitler was a very charismatic speaker, but unlike what you keep being told in the History books, he wasn't the power on the throne. That was his Generals, the political leaders of the Nazi Regime. He became the Scapegoat, the front person, and just like here had limited power. In either case, he became either beloved by the people or hated. Sounds like the President here, don't you think? By the way, don't put Nazis and SS in the same kettle folks. That was two different things. You had no choice in Germany but to join the Nazi party and fight in the WAR under the Nazi banner, and your wife's they two had to join their perspective groups and help the war efforts. Oh and your kids, they joined the Hitler Youth, if you or them wanted or not. Refuse? You ended up dead or missing. Usually picked up by the SS.

Jews turned other Jews in, ratted them out, because they thought that if they turned others in, that they would be saved. Locations of the Concentrations camps might be known here and now, but half of the German People had no idea where they were or what was really going on in them. "Arbeit macht Frei". They had no clue unless they were working there or were part of the SS that they were Concentration Camps. They were told that they were Work Encampments. Work sets you free

So we separate the people, we make the Economy even more unstable, we take power away from the Police forces, we restrict gatherings, we turn neighbor against neighbor, and we start slowly taking Census of who does what and what their political as well as religious associations and opinions are. Sounds familiar? Oh and by the way not only Jews were taken to the Concentration Camps. If you were not a Christian, if you were a Gypsy, if you were a mixed blood race wise, if were gay or bi, if you spoke out against the rules and laws enforced, or you were particularly verbal, if you refused to fall in line, you were on a fast track to the Camps. All it took was for someone to lay a claim against you. Done, gone.

You need to keep people in fear. Before, during, and after. Keep them scared of something, and yes biological warfare on the people was in progress even back then, it just wasn't that sophisticated yet. See what we are doing right now being here online. A group were free speech is allowed? Well it wasn't online back then, but they did have the underground groups as well. Infiltration was a beautiful thing for them too. Just a reminder, the wolf wears sheep clothing a lot.

Enforced quiet hours, not like we did with noise pollution here in the USA. You know the courtesy that after 10 pm in neighborhoods keep the noise down so that others can sleep. No, it was you were only allowed out and about during certain hours and you better have had permission if you needed to go outside those hours and zones.

What was being taught in the schools we highly regulated and it had to fit the agenda. Brainwashing starts at a young age. Oh and weapons? Yes, those are controlled and / or taken away, until only certain people were allowed to have them.

Sounds familiar yet?

This has slowly been going on here in the USA as well, I have been watching it from the time I arrived here. Very slowly, just a few tiny things here and there. Get people used to it, until it sounds normal to you. The trick has always been to normalize things to the sheeple. People are so easily led, because actual thinking for yourself is discouraged and often times punished. Hell mass brainwashing has been the order of the day in humanity in both religions and political parties since the beginning of civilizations. Repeat the same thing often enough and it spreads, the more you hear it, the more you get used to it and before you know it you believe it yourself, unless you start thinking and questioning.

Germany after the war had it's teeth pulled. Not literally but metaphorically. The American People, might talk a big game, but most are so busy just trying to survive in this climate and take care of their families the best they can, talking a big game is about all they have energy for.
I see these big posts about calling to arms, about another Civil War, etc. Let me tell you something darlings, you are not ready for another WAR on home soil. This country is way too divided already and too fearful of each other. Talk to your actual Combat Veterans who have been in a War and fought. Ask them just what it did to them and how changed they came out of there. Not a peace keeping, or policing deployment, but a full on War Deployment. Talk to your elders instead of dismissing them.

Learn your History and the History of the World and War not from your books but from the People who lived it and been there. They can take our books out of the schools and they will, hell half of the young people are barely able to even read and write these days. Go back to the old ways in this. Learn the History and pass it along in a verbal tradition to those who have the mind to retain it and understand it. If you don't, it will be lost by the time 2 more Generations have aged up and become into their Senior ages. Once history is lost we are going to repeat the same mistakes again and worse, the lessons get harder each time they have to be relearned.

How about brushing up on some survival skills even just the basics. Learn to use basic weapons again if you need to, because everything that is fancy breaks easier. Teach your daughters how to actually cook a meal, some basic gardening, how to sew, knit, crochet, weave, and your sons too. Teach your sons husbandry, basic farming skills, how to build a shelter, how to make a fire, how to protect their families. Teach people to LISTEN instead of always talking, you learn a lot more when you sit silently in a room and listen to what is said around you. I write a lot, but when I am out you'd be surprised how often you see me sitting somewhere quietly with my back to a wall and listen with my eyes closed to everything that goes on around me. MOst of all so, stop being part of spreading the hate. I don't give a good damn which side of the political isle you are on, there are wolfs among you too in sheep clothing. Don't feed the wolf called hate, if you want us all to make it through. Your worst enemy is usually yourself, so contemplate how you can help make things better instead of keeping the divide going.

Try teaching your young to be less shallow. Teach them what matters in a person instead of what looks good on them. If things go to where it points at in our life time or theirs, that hot little eye candy on their arm isn't going to do a squad diddly for them besides being a decoration if they have no skills to bring to the table. The hatred and BS between the Genders has already done way too much damage. Families used to make it through the hardest times, because men and women knew how to pull on their strength given to them. We are build differently for a reason. Yes, yes, I know ... sorry I am not a neo feminist. I still believe that men and women are different for a reason that we may be able to do most of what the other can do, but that we are also suited naturally for different things for a reason. It does take two to get things done at times, and yes that does mean men and women working together instead of against each other.

I learned a long time ago, that when you preach to the choir you get a lot of amens but no change. If you speak with kindness to someone one on one, you have a chance to be heard. If nothing else you can sow the seed, that might just make them think. Your neighbor, your brother or sister, that human being that looks different then you or loves different then you, or prays different then you, is not always your enemy. You can however make an enemy of them, if you forget that they have feelings too and are just as scared and worried. Maybe their choir is different and they are afraid to voice up, so be that person they can come to without fear.

I hope none of you will ever need to make the final decision again to stand in the way of the enemy at the gate, but if it comes down to it, the time for talk is over and you better be prepared. You better have your women prepared as well, and I am sorry, from what I have been seeing, there are less then 5% that would make it through these days.

Okay you can shout me down now if you like, I am just sharing a few things. I have been there, and don't want to go there again, but if it comes down to it, I know what needs to be done. I hope you will too.

Thank you for this, I am pleased to see that you "get it".

Though I have not experienced life on the other side as you have, I'm a student of history, and I too see what they are doing to us.

I only hope that more people will wake up before it's too late, but this last election certainly doesn't inspire hope.

BTW< may I share this anonymously?

Yes that is fine
 
I believe there is a lot of truth to your words. One of my dearest friends is a German who now lives in Kentucky, we often share our thoughts on what's happening here as well as in Germany. I am one of those who was stationed in Germany (Heidelberg) for four years but in no way claim to be an expert, I was doing good to order a beer and a brat while there. For several years I longed to return with the Queen just to show her some of the sites but now have no interest in returning since its declined in recent years. Sadly we're headed in the same direction here and most people don't even realize it. The question becomes we will allow it to happen.

Heidelberg is a beautiful place, especially in the Spring time. I haven't been back since I came to the USA and I have no desire to go either. From everything I have heard about how things have changed, I couldn't bare it. Like in many places on this Globe, integrity and honor is gone. Forgive my very offensive phrase, but too many people have become way too pussyfied over there. I remember a time when men would stand up in the defense of their women and children, not stand by and video tape an assault. I will keep the good memories that I have and hold them in my spirit and heart. For now, I guess, I"ll just do whatever I can here to bring some beauty into this world via my hand made items and support our Front Line Workers in the way I know how to.
Thank you for your service by the way. (Stop waving it away, my daughter does the same thing) It takes a special type of weirdo to be willing to write that blank check... she says with great affection.

Honestly, the way I see things as they are now here, it isn't so much of will we allow it to happen, but is it already too late to change it. We have some good younger adults in the Generations, but forgive me most of them are insulting a rock by the reference to their intelligence levels. Parents have stopped being parents in this country because of a lot of the rules as they have changed. People need to actually not just realize the issue and danger of where they are going, but take personal accountability as well in what we are doing as individuals to add into the trouble. Personal accountability and common sense are at an all time low.

Who knows so, even the most docile animal can turn vicious when pushed too far into a corner. Survival instinct does kick in, I just hope we lay the ground work first and be actually prepared to sink back into History, because all those little luxurious we now depend on will be gone when this shit hits the fan.
 
I always wanted to go tot Germany while in the Army. After retiring from the Army, I worked for a defense contractor on a contract with the Army. I had to go to Stuttgart for a conference. I love history and old architecture, so I got to experience both while there. There was a Lutheran church still in use that was built in the 15th century. Nearby was a castle also built in the 10th century we toured. Behind the castle was a palace built in the 17th century by the same family. Outside Stuttgardt was another castle now serving as an art school.

We ate in local restaurants most nights and the people were rather rude to us. The people in the hotel were very friendly. My family on my father's side were from Germany; the Shoemachers and Bechtels. They were from a town not far from Stuttgart, but I did not have time to go.
 
Yes there is a lot of very old History there, or at least there was. Who knows what they are doing to it now. :( Schumacher (Shoe makers or Kopplers - Did I spell that right?) is an old name in Europa. I do miss some of the old Architecture. I remember being a bad lama as a kid and going to some of the ruins from old Burgs and climbing around in them. The roots most certainly go deep in the old Countries.

I am sorry you were treated rudely in the Restaurants and I am guessing that it was a locals place not a tourist one. I am guessing that you spoke to them in English only. Tourist places like Hotels and other sight seeing related businesses will be nicer to you, the more you get into the purely local scene the longer it takes for you to get accepted. Kind of like here in Cartersville. If you are an outsider coming in, people may give you the "southern Charm", but they will keep you at an arms length and not welcome you in. Maybe it is like that all over the world, who knows.

I know that was one of the reasons we used to take some of the Soldiers and if they had their families around and teach them basic German words and how to behave towards the locals especially the elders. Made a world of difference for them. Sometimes it is really the smallest thing there that can turn you from an outsider to someone invited into their midst and homes. German people are really strange that way. We don't trust easily, but if we do and you have shown yourself a good person, you have a friend that is steadfast and loyal. Unless you screw us over of course.
 
They were indeed local restaurants. The first thing I said when seated at a table was, "ein bier bitte" in an attempt to break the ice. I also always said "danka" when something was brought to me and when I paid.

We stayed at the Millennium Hotel and Resort down the road from the Mercedes Museum. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful."

Walmart failed big time in Germany because they didn't understand the culture.
 
I'm not a big fan of beer. I have taught all my employees how to order beer in German though. I told them if they ever go to Germany, they need to use it. I live outside of Helen, a "Bavarian" themed town and it has "German" restaurants. I told them to at least try it when in one them to see the reaction they get. What you get is a look of confusion from the waitresses.

I do like schnitzel a lot; preferably pork. There is an authentic German restaurant I would frequent in Augusta while stationed at Ft. Gordon. It's owned by a German family. I was not disappointed when I ate there. There nudeln was awesome and reminded me of noodles my grandmother made. She made them like her German mother. I haven't been into one of the German restaurants in Helen because I'm afraid I would be greatly disappointed. I have made schnitzel myself and it was pretty good. I ate schnitzel quite a few times while in Stuttgart during the week I was there.
