Subject: FW: A German's View on *****
This is very enlightening and also very scary….
Subject: A German's View
on *****
Hard to argue with this:
A German's View on ***** - worth reading.
This is one of
the best explanations of the ****** terrorist situation I have ever
read.
His references to past history are accurate and clear. Not long, easy
to understand, and well worth the read. The author of this email is
Dr.
Emanuel Tanya, a well-known and well-respected psychiatrist. A man,
whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a
number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German
people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude
toward fanaticism.
'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the
return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was
one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the
majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it,
they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had
come.'
'My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the
Allies destroyed my factories.'
'We are told again and again by
'experts' and 'talking heads' that
***** is a religion of peace and that the vast majority of ******s
just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be
true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff meant to make
us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the specter of fanatics
rampaging across the globe in the name of *****.'
'The fact is that the fanatics rule ***** at this moment in history.
It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of
50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically
slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are
gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is
the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the
fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who
zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and
homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to
become suicide bombers.'
'The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the
'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous.
Communist Russia was
comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the
Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million
people.
The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China 's huge population was
peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering
70 million people.'
'The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a
warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way
across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the
systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by
sword, shovel, and bayonet. And who can forget Rwanda , which
collapsed into butchery? Could it not be said that the majority of
Rwandans were 'peace loving'?
'History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all
our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated
of points: peace-loving ******s have been made irrelevant by their
silence. Peace-loving ******s will become our enemy if they don't
speak up, because like my friend from Germany , they will awaken one
day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world
will have begun.'
'Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs,
Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many
others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until
it was too late.'
'Now Islamic prayers have been introduced in Toronto and other public
schools in Ontario, and yes, in Ottawa, too, while the Lord's Prayer
was removed (due to being so offensive?).
The Islamic
way may be peaceful for the time being in our country until the
fanatics move in.'
'In Australia , and indeed in many countries around the world, many of
the most commonly consumed food items have the halal emblem on them.
Just look at the back of some of the most popular chocolate bars, and
at other food items in your local supermarket. Food on aircraft have
the halal emblem just to appease the privileged minority who are now
rapidly expanding within the nation's shores.'
'In the U.K, the ****** communities refuse to integrate and there are
now dozens of "no-go" zones within major cities across the country
that the police force dare not intrude upon. Sharia law prevails
there, because the ****** community in those areas refuse to
acknowledge British law.'
'As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only
group that counts - the fanatics who threaten our way of life.'
Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes
this email without sending it on, is contributing to the passiveness
that allows the problems to expand.
Extend yourself a bit and send this on. Let us hope that thousands
world-wide read this, think about it, and send it on before it's too
late, and we are silenced because we were silent!!!

Re: think about it
Well said, and very well put. I've been saying much the same thing for a long time now. Another thing to consider is that all these 'politically correct' rules/laws and their like are just another way of shutting up the peaceful majority. Free speech appears to be a thing of the past. Say what you think out loud and you're liable to be arrested. Democracy itself is slowly being eroded, and that's not a good thing. As Sir Winston put it "I ask you to believe that democracy is the worst possible form of government - except for all the rest." Or words to that effect. He also commented that democracy is about the greatest good for the greatest number. Pressure groups and the like are putting paid to that as well.

Re: think about it
john we in the uk if we speak out we are racist if we fly our national flag we are told to take it down but the peace loving Islamic followers hardly say a word against the radicals if they did they would get more respect from all religions we are multi cultural and to an extent I like it but bloody mix and they will not? I have posted before a girl in my nephews school was scared to death about going on holiday terrified she would be married of to a stranger if that is part and parcel of a culture or religion you can stick it where the sun doesn't shine. it is inbreed into some not to mix?

Re: think about it
The question was raised here in Oz, why do the peaceful Moslems not speak out against the rest?
To date not one of the leaders has spoken thus. One non moslem said that he thought the majority are afraid to speak in case they are attacked!
We are slowly being assasinated politicaly by such groups as it would appear thta whilst govs speak out that is all they do, talk about it. We the people now want action to bring the world back to the real people.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: think about it
I would imagine if there is a definition for a criminal organization in any dictionairy it would be "an organization that does not comply to the rules of that country". Certain Religious sects do not comply to the laws of the country and therefore should be considered just that. There is nothing wrong in enforcing these laws, which most politicians seem inclined not to want to do. JS

Very true John, the people have had enough, and the UKIP vote is largely a protest vote i suspect, but maybe now someone will listen, as Nigel Farage said, the fox is in the hen house of westminster, i suspect that a few more foxes will be there after the general election, KT

Re: think about it
Its the same with illegal immigrants John.
They commit an illegal act by coming in illegally, They put them into an expensive hotel paid for by us Tax Payers and given money to spend.
If I committed an illegal act I would be put into a hotel called HM Prison, and No money.
.
.
I once complained to the Police that I was nearly run down twice by a woman, of a certain religion, her face completely covered, including a veil over her eyes.
The Police Sargeant said,.."We have been told from the Very Top, not to harrass these people,
we know they have no driving licence, we know they have no insurance, we know they have no road Tax .
we know they have no MOT."
I said .."What would happen if I was like that", he said,, "We would have you inside so fast , your feet would not touch the floor."
I said, "Who is the very top, is it Jack Straw, the Home Secretary ?" he nodded his head in agreement and said, "I am not allowed to tell you".
Jack Straw was the Labour Home Secretary at the time, MP for Blackburn with a large immigrant population.
I rest my case.
Brian.

Re: think about it
I don't want to bore anyone, or be accused of trying to sell my books, but I thought this would fit in quite well here. From my book 'Gross Britain'.
General Arthur Laidlaw, C-in-C of the National Security Task Force (NASTY), sat hunched over his desk. His HQ was in an underground bunker – what was left of Holborn Underground station. The tunnels each side of the station had been completely destroyed by explosions on two trains. The squad of suicide bombers had planned well, picking two trains that left the station in opposite directions at the same time.
The death toll was 376, with only sixty badly injured survivors extracted before further rescue became impossible. The devastation in the tunnels was so great that it was decided to abandon them and build bypass tunnels. The old tunnels became tombs for those killed, and were sealed with concrete. Some of the underground concourse and offices had escaped relatively lightly, and were renovated for Arthur’s use.
On the wall behind his desk hung the organization chart for NASTY, which was now all of one month old. There were three Divisions, plus Headquarters Regiment.
1st Division was commanded by Air Vice Marshall 'Perky' Perkins. He was responsible for all Intelligence, and policing duties. His Division comprised the RAF Regiment, the mainstream Military Intelligence units, the Military Police of the three Services, Special Branch, and the Blues and Royals.
2nd Division, commanded by Vice-Admiral 'Hawkeye' Hawkins, was his shock troops, with nearly half of the total establishment. Comprising the Royal Marines, Guards Brigade, Highland Brigade, one light armoured brigade and two heavy armoured regiments, they were responsible for all large scale response and confrontation, riot control, and seek and destroy.
3rd Division - nearer Brigade size - was the 'Fire Brigade', and smallest of the three. Commanded by Major General ‘Magic’ Manson, it comprised 3 Commando Regiment, half of the Army Air Corps, the Parachute Regiment, SAS, SBS, the Ski Battalion (SB), M&AW (Mountain & Arctic Warfare) cadre, and SOB (Special Operations Battalion). They were in theory the Mobile Reserve, but in fact, because of their high mobility they roamed far and wide - 'First in, best dressed' was Magic's motto. They were also well trained in, and equipped for, riot control.
General Laidlaw could hardly believe even now, that this beautiful and beloved country of his had come to its current pass. 30,000 specialist armed troops to keep law and order in the nation.
The original concept was supposedly to 'Assist the Civil Authorities'. But the pretence had quickly vanished. The Civil Authorities had lost control. Police were resigning in large numbers, rather than be gunned down by the gangsters who ruled the roost.
The case that broke the camel's back was The Crown v. Atcheson and Jardine. The two Metropolitan policemen had been jailed for ten years for gunning down a known 'minors' boss. Judge Sarja Hassan in her wisdom, had given them the maximum sentence, after they were found guilty by a jury stacked with myopic do-gooders, blind to what was happening in the society around them.
The choice for the active police had been narrowed down to four options:-
1) Resign.
2) Co-operate with the gangsters.
3) Go to jail.
4) Die 'in the line of duty'.
The Metropolitan Police in particular now comprised more female officers than male. In general, the female officers found it easier to adapt to their new primary role as welfare officers rather than crime fighters.
Laidlaw, with the help of Emergency Powers, had the job of trying to lift the morale of what was left of the nation's police forces, while reinstating law and order. It would be a gigantic task.
Society as he knew it, had disintegrated. Gangs of youths - 'minors' beyond the reach of the law - had been terrorizing the country; following generations of self indulgence, led by the thousands of 'social science' degree holders seeking self justification.
The 'Social' budget - unemployment pay, paid compassionate and pregnancy leave, distressed mothers' - and everyone else's - relief; subsidized industries on a 32 hour 'working' week; jail inmates' comforts and education, etc etc - had risen above 40% of a diminishing Gross National Product by the time the economy finally disintegrated last year.
This once great nation had become a society paying through the nose for its own destruction; while dancing to the tune of the Social Worker products churned out by lowered-standards 'seats of learning' - the backsides of the backsliders, where the students ran the faculties. A society weaning and encouraging every anti-social misfit in its midst. An as-yet undead corpse, with the corruption of the handout mentality and low morality
eating away outwards from the inside. A cancer that should have been cut out while in its infancy, now running rampant through the whole body. Britain had become a country in which the benefits of breaking the rules far outweighed the rewards for obeying them. Criminals running the nation, students running the educational institutions.
In short, the lunatics had taken over the asylum. Now General Laidlaw was supposed to wave his magic wand and put it all right. Which was ironic, because it was people like him who, for the past couple of decades, had been sounding the loudest warnings against what was happening. But wasn't this always the case? When the weak got all their own way, and it then backfired on them, they always needed the strong to pull their chestnuts from the fire. Even when those strong ones are the same people they have constantly denigrated while they were getting their own way.
It was a most distasteful situation for Arthur Laidlaw. His troops had already been called out twice in the past week, to sort out students beating and killing their teachers in primary schools.
Thank God, at least it wasn't the whole nation he had to cover - yet. Scotland had been remarkably trouble-free. For some strange reason, the Scots seemed to have found a new identity, and were even getting their act together, instead of being in the forefront of the rabble rousers. There was even talk of them seeking membership of the European Community as an independent member state. And the best of luck to them, thought Laidlaw, whose father was a Scotsman. Especially if it keeps them off my trouble list - but not too soon, or I could lose some of my best troops.
Meanwhile, NASTY had to somehow handle the rest of the country, before the NAZIs were voted into power. Pity that, about the name, but couldn't be helped now. He picked up the phone, and asked Brigadier Manson to join him.
They spent more than an hour discussing the latest situation south of the river. The whole of Lambeth was a 'no-go' area for the police, and the gangsters were strengthening their hold. Now their influence was spreading to Wandsworth, and the Government was worried about security for the forthcoming Wimbledon tennis tournament. The organizers had refused to call it off, in spite of a personal request by the Prime Minister. They had spent hundreds of millions of pounds on building the new tennis centre in the 1990s, and on extensions and upgradings since. Nothing short of a Government decree banning the tournament would stop them from protecting their investment.
No government likes issuing decrees on the subject of religion; and the sports arenas had replaced churches as places of public ‘Christian’ worship. So the gangsters looked like having a bonanza, unless Laidlaw could come up with a watertight security blanket - and he knew there was no such thing. Shower proof yes, but watertight was impossible. Meanwhile, a couple of instant-promotion Oxford graduates had been put in charge of investigating organized crime in the Soho brothels - talk about small socially-rounded pegs in large hexagonal holes!
But there was time in hand yet for Wimbledon. Even though the Paradise Club was long gone - a temporary way-station on the road between Tee-hee Bad and Oh My God. The immediate problem was a complete breakdown of law and order in the Leeds-Bradford area. More than a third of the remaining West Yorkshire police force had resigned en masse a week ago; immediately after the acquittal of a gang charged with the murder of five officers in an ambush. This had followed close on the heels of a notorious rape trial. The defendant was sentenced to 5 years jail on his fourth conviction for rape with violence.
The police were completely embittered; frustrated at every turn by out-of-this-world judges and their do-gooder handmaidens. Many years ago, guidelines had been laid down on rape. He should have been sentenced to a minimum of 6 years on his first conviction. Instead, he received 3 years the first time, and was out on the streets again committing another rape fifteen months later. This time he received 4 years, and was released - for 'good behavior' - after 21 months; whereupon he promptly raped again. Once more he was sentenced to 4 years and released after two. He had served a total of five years for three rapes, instead of six years for one.
While - according to the guidelines - he should still have been in jail for his first crime, he had already been freed to brutalize and traumatize three more innocent women. But the people who committed the crime of releasing him were cloaked in anonymity, and never punished for their crimes against society, and against three women in particular.
The Chief Constable, Miriam Ghazi, had called for help from NASTY, and Laidlaw wanted half of Magic's force in West Yorkshire within two days.
Miriam didn’t know a great deal about day-to-day police work, but she had most of the other necessary qualifications to land the job when she was picked for fast-track promotion. She was female, dark brown, same-sex married to the headmistress of a private girls’ school (that took care of 3 quotas in a single hit), and had a Polytechnic Behavioral Science degree. She was actually trying her best to do the job thrust upon her. It wasn’t really her fault that her best fell very short of the mark.
The Leeds/Bradford area had a special problem, common to other smaller areas with large Moslem populations. Nearly 25% of the mostly Pakistani Moslems under 25 years of age were living on the NHS and Social Security. They refused to adapt to British society, expecting rather that society should bend to them. The result was a high degree of inbreeding, with first cousins marrying each other. Many of the offspring were therefore born with genetic malformations and dysfunctions.
It seemed to have escaped the attention of the Authorities that the marriage of first cousins is against the law in Britain, for exactly these reasons. So the deformed offspring of the lawbreakers lived off the taxes of the society they refused to blend into. But this was easily overlooked in a society where criminals were in general treated better than their victims.
Many of the Moslems were agitating for their own autonomous region, just as they did in most countries where they were in a minority. But some of the wiser heads among them kept pointing out that if this came about, they would themselves have to pay for the results of their inbreeding. Nevertheless Minors gangs were thriving, and providing fertile ground for the shaping of young impressionable minds to produce suicide bombers. Meanwhile, many of the healthiest ones had emigrated to the Manx Republic.
The Isle of Man had declared itself a republic twelve years ago, severing its ties with the British monarchy, and most British institutions. The people of Man had not liked what they saw happening in Britain. Officially even the defence of Man had been removed from British responsibility. Unofficially the British defence forces still cooperated with the tiny Manx Defence Force (MDF). In the first decade of full independence, the population of Man had more than doubled, and was still increasing. The building boom was ongoing.
The fight against crime in Britain had become a war of national survival, which was why the armed forces were now involved. NASTY was the spearhead, but other units could be called out in support. Unfortunately, NASTY already contained most of the nation's fighting troops. The armed forces had dwindled steadily, owing to the other demands of society - such as television, video and university courses for the increasing number of criminals in the jails. Jails which had become more and more like Government rest houses, but at greater cost. Backed by parole boards that would send Satan himself back to Heaven with a Good Behaviour badge.
