In the slightly revised words of Captain Willard, "Sir, I am unaware of any such activity or operation... nor would I be disposed to discuss such an operation if it did in fact exist, sir."
Clever indeed. And true. While in America, we won't always know when it's over until it's too late. And where would Americans be welcome? But Germany has been a dystopian nightmare for, well, almost forever. And for now, America would welcome them. As you can see, I just proved your point - lol.
It's not about Germany. As an example, in Northern Ireland they're running a 'consultation' about a Health Bill, right now. A 'consultation' means there's online stuff for people to look at and answer if they know it's there. But there's no reason for people to know it's there because their representatives aren't telling them. And it's designed in such a way as to provide leading questions and make you seem to approve things you don't approve of. And if you don't engage with it, they will assume approval anyway.
The health bill, which will no doubt end up going through successfully, because that's the way of things these days, will bring about a permanent extension of emergency powers re 'pandemics' and other sundry challenges to public safety and health; plus forced medical treatments, forced quarantine, forced re-education, forced 'vaccination' and anything else you can think of that is related and can be forced, plus lots of things you probably won't think of.
Coming to the rest of us in due course. So none of this is specific to Germany.
That's like asking why would anyone live in the blue states of the USA - New York, Illinois, California, and Washington to name a few. Not everyone can up and move. And, if you can find a "run to" place their so hammered with escapees, home seems better at the moment. But. In reading countless stories of WWII, it's tragic to read about those who waited and suffered horrific consequences.
There are definitely times to read the signs, and up sticks and move to another country. I did in 2008 from U.K to Portugal. I couldn't afford to go back now so be prepared to burn your bridges.
Yes, though my words come back to haunt me as of this very day. There is a huge fire burning today, close to the house. Just taking a break. So far the wind is in our favour blowing the fire past our house about 3-400m away -- but it can all change in a flash.
Having said that, hindsight suggests it was the right move for us. One has to be resilient. If I think of still being in England (and we lived in a beautiful artists' fishing village by the sea), I somehow think I would have cheated myself out of a broader and deeper experience. But who knows. There are many possibilities in life, and we make our path by walking it.
That's a great answer. Let your house and family be safe!
P.G. Wodehouse once said, when asked about why he didn't go back to England after WWII, "Would I find Dorking much changed?" I think you know what he meant.
I m reading your play “the extremists” and im going to try to convince my local community theater to stage it.
There is a relatively new TV show on called “the three body proble”
Its a nerdy sci fi series about extra terrestrials
But the first episode has a gripping depiction of a mao tse tung era chinese communist struggle session with a public execution of an intellectual for challenging the state dogma
As someone who experienced the creation of the new West German government (BRD) in 1949 this situation that you are experiencing is not really surprising. Then the Nazi prosecutors, judges and lawyers resumed the careers in the new democracy. I am in my eighties and remember well my parents outrage about this wholesale rearrangement or accommodation of former Nazis at every level of West German society. De-nazification was a fraud as was the incorporation of former GDR functionaries in the unified Germany. In a recent conversation I was told by a late middle aged German judge that I should not forget that the German Bureaucracy always moves smoothly from one political system to the next. In other words, the bureaucracy in Germany never changes. The life and experience of the state prosecutor of Hessen in the fifties and sixties Fritz Bauer is a good example of what I was told by the judge. Bauer was actively trying to bring to justice Nazi war criminals. Bauer was Jewish and survived the war years in exile in Sweden. He had great difficulty getting employed as a prosecutor (it took several years) and his active pursuit of war criminals, including that of Eichmann, was sabotaged or stymied for years by fellow German law enforcement agencies. He was instrumental in locating Eichmann’s hiding place and couldn’t get the German government to get him extradited to Germany. He approached Israel who took Eichmann to Israel for prosecution. Fritz Bauer died mysteriously in 1968.
Are you familiar with the name Vilfredo Pareto? He's most known for his Pareto Principle, the 80-20 rule of distributions. And his Pareto Optimal, theories on optimization efficiency. Benito Mussolini studied under him in 1903 as a young activist while living in Switzerland when Pareto was teaching there. This was as Mussolini was evolving in his theories of governance, somewhere between socialism and fascism. Later proclaimed fascism was perfected government.
But Pareto also had many ideas about sociology, the social reengineering onslaught we're being subjected to, in Germany, the US, all western nations. This book is worth a read over:
It is in the Circulation of Elites that he expounds on ideas about how it's the same people in power before and after a revolution. They just change teams.
Pareto's theory is consistent with the ideas of big political social science theory influencers like Harold Lasswell and Noam Chomsky. Of note, in Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent is this idea:
"You know, it’s very striking that continually people move from one position to the other, very easily. And I think the reason for the ease is partly because they’re sort of the same position. So you can be either a Marxist-Leninist commissar, or you can be somebody celebrating the magnificence of State capitalism, and you can serve those guys. It’s more or less the same position. You pick one or the other depending on your estimate of where power is, and that can change."
This is what you describe. Germany. US. UK. Not dissimilar to the "Strong Horse" concept that Osama bin Laden spoke of in the Middle East and western Asia. In practice for millennia before Pareto and Chomsky gave it their academic names. Loyalties are flexible and change as long as status does not.
How to break the cycle of revolution and become an evolution? That's humanity's eternal question.
Are you familiar with the Thyssen family in Germany? Larger and wealthier than the Krupp family there. They learned to hedge their bets. To make sure their status would be protected no matter who was in charge. Loyalty to status, not ideology.
Unholy Trinity: The Vatican, The Nazis, and the Swiss Banks
"It seems that during World War Two the leading Nazi industrialists secretly owned a bank in New York City. That bank was dissolved in 1951. However the records are clear. The Nazi bank in Manhattan was run by President Bush's father. Prescott Bush. And by Herbert Walker his grandfather. The Bush family was on the wrong side of World War Two."
...
"Let's put it back in context. After World War One the leading German steel magnate, August Thyssen, was very upset because the allies seized some of his companies for war reparations. And he was determined never to have this happen the next war. So he set up a series of banks. One in Berlin, named after himself, the August Thyssen Bank. One in Holland which had been neutral during World War, that was the bank, Scheepvaart voor Handel. And then a bank in Manhattan, The Union Banking Corp (UBC).
So no matter which side won the next war his corporations could move their stocks and bonds from one bank to the other. Now he even trained his two sons that they would have to preserve the family business the next war so he told one son that he would be a Nazi. And the other son that he would be a neutral. So no matter which side won the war the Thyssen’s would win.
The first thing the Thyssen family needed was money. So they went to a major investment firm Brown Brothers Harriman in Manhattan. Now this firm was founded by Herbert Walker and merged with a British firm Brown Brothers with a major Democratic firm Harriman. Now the Democrats have their own scandal here as well. Avril Harriman’s brother, Roland Harriman, was also on the board.
It is a matter of public record that Brown Brothers Harriman helped American investors move billions of dollars into Germany during the 1920’s and 1930’s. The German currency was worthless but German stock was worth a fortune. Because Germany had almost a high tech patents monopoly on all these advanced trade processes. So the Brown Brothers Harriman helped organize the flow of money into Germany from some famous American families like the Rockefeller's, the Ford’s, the DuPonts. Now, none of these people, the Bush's the Fords, Rockefeller's were pro-Nazi, they actually favored the conservative, Monarchist candidate’s party of Germany. But they did fund Hitler as a side bet. Because he was useful to keep the unions in bag.
So in 1923 money flowed from Brown Brothers Harriman in New York to the Dutch bank to Berlin. Now we have traced from the Dutch bank directly to the Nazi Party headquarters, that's where the money came from to build the very first Nazi Party headquarters. The Braune Haus in Munich. Fritz Thyssen later admitted that he was the man who financed Hitler's first campaign The Thyssen family were the great steel and coal combines of Germany. They were the heart of the Third Reich's armament industry. They were actually larger and wealthier than the famous Krupp family. But the Thyssen name was kept quiet.
Now, as Hitler came to power the Thyssen’s were making a fortune. But the problem was they were a little concerned that Hitler would push the German economy to its limits and cause a great deal of inflation. So the Thyssen’s betrayed Hitler. They started to move their money out in the 1930’s. In essence it was a huge tax fraud. They would sell one of their companies, for example the Holland American Investment Company, to the Bush’s, supposedly a neutral bank in New York. Not knowing that the Thyssen’s secretly own both banks. It looked like the Thyssen’s were losing money. So the Bush’s would buy the banks, the, the companies from the Thyssen’s and they'd set up American branches. Prescott Bush was the head of several of the companies that were actually directly owned by the Thyssen’s.
Now Hitler suspected that the Thyssen’s were cheating him right and left. And Thyssen was smart and by the time that Hitler declared war on Poland Thyssen figured the game was up and he fled the country. And proclaimed himself to be an anti-Nazi. The truth was he was making a profit on both sides. As were the Rockefeller's as were the Fords and DuPont’s and Bush’s. And to be fair, once they had invested in Germany what they were going to do? They couldn't emigrate with a steel mill. Their money was trapped there. So rather than take the loss some very greedy people made a war, made a war profit. And while American and British soldiers died they were making millions.
To hide his records from the British Thyssen moved them to the Dutch branch during World War Two. Now when the Nazis overran Holland Thyssen had to hide the records again so they moved them back to the August Thyssen bank in Berlin. Because there had been a Nazi custodian appointed who was actually another Thyssen employee. So they hid all the secret stock ownership for the New York bank and the Dutch bank and they hid all the bank accounts in these underground vaults in the Thyssen bank in Berlin
Now the U.S. government was also studying the matter, and our Alien property custodians decided that this little New York bank that the Bush's ran was the subsidiary of a Dutch bank. And once the Dutch overran Holland it was a Nazi bank. So believe it or not the US government quietly seized President Bush's father and grandfather's business holdings as Nazi fronts.
These properties were quietly returned after the war. Because after all they were just Dutch banks. And when the Dutch got their banks back, so did the Bush’s. Of course it wasn’t a Dutch bank at all, it never was. It was always, always secretly owned by the leading Nazi industrialists in Europe."
"So one of the reasons that Thyssen got away with it was that he had a very good lawyer. And his lawyer was Allen Dulles. Now, Allen Dulles was in charge of U.S. intelligence investigations in Germany after the war. It was very convenient. Because Allen Dulles was also the lawyer for the Thyssen’s. And also the lawyer for the Bush’s.
The law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell to which Allen Dulles brother belonged was actually the law firm that handled most of these bank transactions and set up the companies. They were the people who helped direct American investment in Germany during the 1920’s and 1930’s. And now it was up to the Dulles brothers to help their clients get their money back. In particular the Rockefeller's had to huge chunk of money in Brown Brothers Harriman which the Bush’s had invested in Thyssen empire. And the Rockefeller's had no sense of humor about going broke. They wanted their money back.
And so in 1951 everything had quieted down. Allen Dulles and his brother were about to become members of the Eisenhower administration. The New York bank that the Bush's ran was quietly liquidated down. Now, the Bush’s, Prescott Bush and Walker each got one share of stock worth three-quarters of a million dollars. So the Bush family took out $1.5 million in 1951 dollars. That's where the Bush family fortune came from. It came from the Third Reich. That was blood money.
Yes, the Thyssen’s were among the largest slave holders in the Nazi empire. They, they use their huge coal mines where they used Jewish slave labors as if they were disposable chemicals. Thyssen Steel was the United Steel, Vereinigte Stahlwerke, was the heart of the Nazi war machine. But they all got their money back.
After the war the Thyssen’s slowly brought money out of hiding from New York and Argentina and they began to rebuild. In 1971 they merged with another bank and formed the Thyssen-Bornemisza Group. Chase Manhattan Bank in New York owns 31% of this holding company. It’s now worth $50 billion."
...
"This whole issue of being able to hide money through multinational shells has a direct effect on our political system. It's not just a question of double-punching ballots. The more important question is “who's funding our political campaigns?”
Perhaps they’re only rumors the allegations I have received from the intelligence community are the Thyssen family are the secret sources of that slush fund in Germany. That Helmut Kohl refuses to disclose the origins of. That they were the secret financial backers of their neighbor in London. They live right across the street from Margaret Thatcher. And that the Thyssen’s and their business partners, the Rockefeller's, have been the Wall Street wing of the Republican Party, financing candidates for the last forty years in the U.S.
But there was this almost bottomless slush fund of campaign money. There are numerous Thyssen outlets in the U.S. So legally Thyssen employees in America can donate money to campaigns. And I don't know if we will ever know how much of that money was actually donated by Thyssen employees and how much was reimbursed from abroad. Reimbursements from abroad are, of course, a felony. Foreign corporations may not contribute to American politics."
FF - That was history. Only one story that made the news out of countless unknown others that never did.
I go into the Thyssen/Bush connection in greater detail in this old Stack I shared:
And here's a contemporary story that's made the news in our time. Out of countless unknown others that never do.
This one is about the Fanjul family. Florida Crystals, aka Domino Sugar empire. Plays both sides. One brother, Pepe, is a major Republican donor, big Bush/McCain/Romney/Trump supporter. The other brother, Alfy, is a major Democrat donor, big Clinton/Obama/Biden/Harris supporter. The entire family hedges. Just like the Thyssen's. To protect their status.
Hedge...hedge...hedge...funds. Hedge funds! Like BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, the ones that own 90% of the global assets and economy! They hedge all of their bets, so they win no matter who holds political office, no matter what political ideology, no matter what system of government!
They protect their status in society. Not you. Not me. Not R's. Not D's. Not Germans. Not Americans. Not capitalism. Not communism. Not freedom. Not Labor. Not Green. Not Islam. Not Catholicism. Not Israeli's. Not Palestinians. Not even totalitarianism or tyranny. They. Don't. Care. As long as they retain their status and privilege. For many of us who saw the world through rose-colored glasses before 2020 the picture is coming into much sharper focus.
The question now is, what do we do about it? Go back to sleep? Dog-eat-dog? If you can beat 'em, join 'em? Defy, disobey them, pay the price? Maybe pay the ultimate price? What are we going to do about it?

„The more important question is who‘s funding our political campaigns.“ Hitler‘s Nazi party was financed by German and foreign financial interests and put into power without having an electoral mandate. I believe the highest % he and his party ever received in a free election was about 37%. Among my current books of reading is NAZI BILLIONAIRES - The Dark History of Germany‘s Wealthiest Dynasties by David de Jong, 2022. Isn’t it also interesting the Senator Truman (later president) stated in 1941 after Operation Barbarossa was launched, „If Russia wins we should support Germany. If Germany wins we should support Russia.“ David Talbot THE DEVIL‘s CHESSBOARD - Allen Dulles, … (2015) relates some interesting facts about contacts that Allan Dulles had meetings with high ranking Nazi officials in Switzerland during the war and most importantly after the war. He and his brother were lawyers for Wall Street banking interests.
They didn’t flee nor infiltrate. They were hired for their „expertise“ . The most famous and prominent was Werner von Braun. The U.S. military’s SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS which trained hundreds of Latin American officers used Gestapo handbooks for instruction.
And they infiltrated our medical schools via research, and--the result has been catastrophic for all of us as they had no moral scruples and they've undermined or destroyed the moral scruples of our children as they go through the college programs they left behind.
Every crisis allows the ghouls to advance totalitarianism. This was especially the case during the scamdemic, as it gave credence to Medical Martial Law. An interesting way to control outraged proles and transfer trillions of dollars to billionaires without using bombs, bullets, or drones.
Yes, a likely scenario to be aware of- and prepped for. No matter what, we need to protect ourselves and loved ones from violence, hunger, lack of privacy- our own shelters. There’s so much info on the many schemes (already in play) that it’s difficult to keep up. I understand that. But we mustn’t forget past aggressions, to stay aware of ANY action taken, such as: taking possession of our homes “in the name of protecting the country, that it’s a sacrifice for the people in times of uncertainty.” BS!! It’s a blatant replay of commie takeover tactics, that was even a part of the civil war. Imagine having a group of soldiers stationed (forcibly) in your homes with your children, parents, spouses. How comfortable is that?! If we continue to accept what “they” say is a new law every time, they continue to march forward into the next phase of takeover. The old saying “history repeats itself,” is but a smooth-over phrase for stating that the “rule” books were made to be repeated. Very likely, in worse manners. But manners are not values we find in these degenerate criminals.
Canada, West Coast here. We are in a rain forest on the Pacific ocean. I have property, stockpiled seeds, manure and can grow and preserve my own food. And stockpiled canned and dried foods. Installed a wood stove and huge amounts of wood, easy to get here. But my adult kids are totally unaware. Very concerned about them and my grandkids. They need to know, not only the threat, but how to live independently from govt interference. From a granny alone.
Thank you so much. Nearly brings me to tears. I have searched for God for decades. I know he’s there. Haven’t found him. I’d appreciate any advice you might have. I attended several churches here. All gone woke.
It is great you can continue to offer some levity during this horrible situation you find yourself in.
The U.S. too has drifted far from its so-called "democratic principles" especially the First Amendment of freedom of speech and calling anything speech it doesn't like "hate speech" and those who speak it "terrorists". Have all these so-called "democratic" countries drifted so far from these principles that there is no hope of return to them? I fear so.
Some alternative/dissident voices that I follow are being silenced on Instagram now. Even though a contrite Mark Zuckerberg admitted that it may have been the wrong thing to do, colluding with the US Government to censor people on Facebook and Instagram, they seem to be at it again.
That whole charade with the zucker dude seems off to me anyway. I’d like to find a great way to communicate without these blatant attacks on our democratic rights. I’m listening, hopeful that we remain the majority in favor of freedom. I won’t entertain the “bleak” scenarios as the only way it’s going to go down.
By the time we even hear of the threats to our representative Republic, the dominoes are already in alightment and the rest we learn in bits and pieces. So yes, I fear so too. Americans are used to paying large sums of money in taxes for the protection and safety promised in our Constitution. It's hard to get our heads around the fact that pages relevant to our security have been torn out and protection is a punishable offense. I keep hoping that we get Trump so we can relax a little bit and be better prepared after having 4 years to do so. Otherwise, if the socialist democrats & RINOS get away with pledging themselves the electors of the 2024 election like they said "no matter what", they will of course throw out pro-Trump votes and count only pro-Biden states (there won't be enough votes to count so they'll give us a fake figure for the state instead). Therefore, I suspect the democrats will be paying for states' cooperation. 2024 may be the end of our "drift" to use your words, and the beginning of the end. Except for one thing...the 2nd.
Canada, West Coat here. I pray that Trump gets in. And creepy socialist Globalist traitor Trudeau is defeated 2025. Conservatives have had a twenty point lead for over a year. But Trudeau is reacting our formerly tight election rules, and massive numbers of new immigrants will vote for him. In spite of Trudeau’s efforts, all of rural Canada is still armed. God Bless America! We stand with you. MAGA! Eh?
I'm sure glad I live over here in the free United States where a frightening, dangerious little old lady grandmother was just sentenced to home arrest for after being invited on 7 January to enter the Capitol building, who did not invade any private spaces, she did not assault or disparage the police, nor did the little old lady do any damage any property so the judge mercy fully sentenced her to three years home arrest, ankle bracleted subject to unannounced police visits into her home any time day or night and she, of course, is required to pee in a bottle for drug testing on demand.
This action by the D.C. judge is of course justifiable and entirely different from the German lady's.
Who knows what the grandmother might try to do this coming January if she hadn't been house jailed just in the nick of time!
I of course fully supported our duly appointed leader, Buck Fiden recognizing his wisdom and vigor until ordered otherwise and now, as otherwise ordered love, laud, support and will vote at least thrice for Qué mala!
Honestly, I've never really been doing OK financially, but my legal expenses through this round are more or less covered, thanks to generous folks like you!
CJ, I am hopeful someone-- a whistle blower in the government, in German MSM-- will do some covert work on "Karl's" background and cases in the GDR and expose them. You can't make this shit up, man. So,
yep, Germany is returning to its roots a century later. . .
Dear CJ, let me please express again my deep regret of the fact that our beloved German „democracy“ continues to hunt you. I do understand your bitterness. Born in 1957 in just that German Democratic Republc, I used to be convinced that I had been lucky enough to live on THE RIGHT SIDE of the iron curtain. To be honest, I was not aware of that dark side of our society. Ines Karl seems to belong exactly to my generation. From my point of view she used to do the dirty job then and she is doing it now. This proves just the fact that you may find enough assholes for this kind of job anywhere and anytime. It may seem that it is her who is causing you problems, I think the truth is: the asshole is being used by „the system“. She is just the useful idiot for those in power who are afraid of people like you. Sad enough. Will try to attend the next phase of your trial on Sep 30.
I traveled through the GDR on my way to a demonstration in Berlin against the Vietnam War. That experience of witnessing the extreme fear of the people I came into contact with on that trip was slammed into my brain in such a way that I have never forgotten how harsh that totalitarian existence must have been. I can’t imagine how brainwashed people must have been to think that they were fortunate to be living there.
Awesome wonderful satire, as always; Kafka is rolling over in his grave, or Castle, his Trial by Metamorphosis. Oh, and Dick Cheney who shot his quail-hunting buddy in the face just endorsed Ka-mala Harris for President, and Ka-mala is running for Prosecutor-in-Chief, so take that, Ines Karl!
Interpretation… can make any sentence mean anything you wish… once you decided to only view what is said or written as being hateful .. even a love letter can fall foul of a twisted mind.
There you get german and english texts spoken by himself. And if you understand german you may try Roger Bittel at bittel.tv and Streampunk. They post news as soon as they happen, infos on every trial day.
There's no room in this country for both socialist democrats and the people! One has to go. Guess who. Rulers without those to rule can't be rulers. And people. well, there's over 300 million of us. Think about it.
I am suprised they do not call them 'anti-love' crimes or 'anti-joy' crimes, since they are trying to increase the love and joy in everyone's life so much lately. Thanks for your efforts to put the love and joy show on parade.
SO you basically have a Stasi agent prosecuting you?
In the slightly revised words of Captain Willard, "Sir, I am unaware of any such activity or operation... nor would I be disposed to discuss such an operation if it did in fact exist, sir."
Is there any reason for anyone to live in Germany?
If people run scared at the incoming totalitarianism, then they have already won.
Clever indeed. And true. While in America, we won't always know when it's over until it's too late. And where would Americans be welcome? But Germany has been a dystopian nightmare for, well, almost forever. And for now, America would welcome them. As you can see, I just proved your point - lol.
It's not that different anywhere else, or at least it wont be soon...
It's not about Germany. As an example, in Northern Ireland they're running a 'consultation' about a Health Bill, right now. A 'consultation' means there's online stuff for people to look at and answer if they know it's there. But there's no reason for people to know it's there because their representatives aren't telling them. And it's designed in such a way as to provide leading questions and make you seem to approve things you don't approve of. And if you don't engage with it, they will assume approval anyway.
The health bill, which will no doubt end up going through successfully, because that's the way of things these days, will bring about a permanent extension of emergency powers re 'pandemics' and other sundry challenges to public safety and health; plus forced medical treatments, forced quarantine, forced re-education, forced 'vaccination' and anything else you can think of that is related and can be forced, plus lots of things you probably won't think of.
Coming to the rest of us in due course. So none of this is specific to Germany.
Yes, all the other ex-liberal ‘democracies’ in global agglomeration amount to a fine reason not to bother leaving.
I keep asking that too. Well, apart from the excellent bratwurst.
Why would someone live in Germany if they didn't have to?
That's like asking why would anyone live in the blue states of the USA - New York, Illinois, California, and Washington to name a few. Not everyone can up and move. And, if you can find a "run to" place their so hammered with escapees, home seems better at the moment. But. In reading countless stories of WWII, it's tragic to read about those who waited and suffered horrific consequences.
BTW Some Substack articles need a 👍, not a ❤️.
👍👍👍
There are definitely times to read the signs, and up sticks and move to another country. I did in 2008 from U.K to Portugal. I couldn't afford to go back now so be prepared to burn your bridges.
Wow, sounds great! In hindsight, was that a change for the better?
Yes, though my words come back to haunt me as of this very day. There is a huge fire burning today, close to the house. Just taking a break. So far the wind is in our favour blowing the fire past our house about 3-400m away -- but it can all change in a flash.
Having said that, hindsight suggests it was the right move for us. One has to be resilient. If I think of still being in England (and we lived in a beautiful artists' fishing village by the sea), I somehow think I would have cheated myself out of a broader and deeper experience. But who knows. There are many possibilities in life, and we make our path by walking it.
That's a great answer. Let your house and family be safe!
P.G. Wodehouse once said, when asked about why he didn't go back to England after WWII, "Would I find Dorking much changed?" I think you know what he meant.
apparently not in spirit
The Israelis have taken over that responsibility.
I m reading your play “the extremists” and im going to try to convince my local community theater to stage it.
There is a relatively new TV show on called “the three body proble”
Its a nerdy sci fi series about extra terrestrials
But the first episode has a gripping depiction of a mao tse tung era chinese communist struggle session with a public execution of an intellectual for challenging the state dogma
I hope that you are exonerated
Obviously you didnt do anything wrong
Thank you ... I miss the theater, terribly, sometimes.

"You know, it’s very striking that continually people move from one position to the other, very easily. And I think the reason for the ease is partly because they’re sort of the same position. So you can be either a Marxist-Leninist commissar, or you can be somebody celebrating the magnificence of State capitalism, and you can serve those guys. It’s more or less the same position. You pick one or the other depending on your estimate of where power is, and that can change."
This is what you describe. Germany. US. UK. Not dissimilar to the "Strong Horse" concept that Osama bin Laden spoke of in the Middle East and western Asia. In practice for millennia before Pareto and Chomsky gave it their academic names. Loyalties are flexible and change as long as status does not.
How to break the cycle of revolution and become an evolution? That's humanity's eternal question.
I read Pareto many decades ago and found his ideas stimulating at the time. Unfortunately, I have not studied him in-depth. Thanks for reminding me.
Are you familiar with the Thyssen family in Germany? Larger and wealthier than the Krupp family there. They learned to hedge their bets. To make sure their status would be protected no matter who was in charge. Loyalty to status, not ideology.
Unholy Trinity: The Vatican, The Nazis, and the Swiss Banks

"It seems that during World War Two the leading Nazi industrialists secretly owned a bank in New York City. That bank was dissolved in 1951. However the records are clear. The Nazi bank in Manhattan was run by President Bush's father. Prescott Bush. And by Herbert Walker his grandfather. The Bush family was on the wrong side of World War Two."
...
"Let's put it back in context. After World War One the leading German steel magnate, August Thyssen, was very upset because the allies seized some of his companies for war reparations. And he was determined never to have this happen the next war. So he set up a series of banks. One in Berlin, named after himself, the August Thyssen Bank. One in Holland which had been neutral during World War, that was the bank, Scheepvaart voor Handel. And then a bank in Manhattan, The Union Banking Corp (UBC).
So no matter which side won the next war his corporations could move their stocks and bonds from one bank to the other. Now he even trained his two sons that they would have to preserve the family business the next war so he told one son that he would be a Nazi. And the other son that he would be a neutral. So no matter which side won the war the Thyssen’s would win.
The first thing the Thyssen family needed was money. So they went to a major investment firm Brown Brothers Harriman in Manhattan. Now this firm was founded by Herbert Walker and merged with a British firm Brown Brothers with a major Democratic firm Harriman. Now the Democrats have their own scandal here as well. Avril Harriman’s brother, Roland Harriman, was also on the board.
It is a matter of public record that Brown Brothers Harriman helped American investors move billions of dollars into Germany during the 1920’s and 1930’s. The German currency was worthless but German stock was worth a fortune. Because Germany had almost a high tech patents monopoly on all these advanced trade processes. So the Brown Brothers Harriman helped organize the flow of money into Germany from some famous American families like the Rockefeller's, the Ford’s, the DuPonts. Now, none of these people, the Bush's the Fords, Rockefeller's were pro-Nazi, they actually favored the conservative, Monarchist candidate’s party of Germany. But they did fund Hitler as a side bet. Because he was useful to keep the unions in bag.
So in 1923 money flowed from Brown Brothers Harriman in New York to the Dutch bank to Berlin. Now we have traced from the Dutch bank directly to the Nazi Party headquarters, that's where the money came from to build the very first Nazi Party headquarters. The Braune Haus in Munich. Fritz Thyssen later admitted that he was the man who financed Hitler's first campaign The Thyssen family were the great steel and coal combines of Germany. They were the heart of the Third Reich's armament industry. They were actually larger and wealthier than the famous Krupp family. But the Thyssen name was kept quiet.
Now, as Hitler came to power the Thyssen’s were making a fortune. But the problem was they were a little concerned that Hitler would push the German economy to its limits and cause a great deal of inflation. So the Thyssen’s betrayed Hitler. They started to move their money out in the 1930’s. In essence it was a huge tax fraud. They would sell one of their companies, for example the Holland American Investment Company, to the Bush’s, supposedly a neutral bank in New York. Not knowing that the Thyssen’s secretly own both banks. It looked like the Thyssen’s were losing money. So the Bush’s would buy the banks, the, the companies from the Thyssen’s and they'd set up American branches. Prescott Bush was the head of several of the companies that were actually directly owned by the Thyssen’s.
Now Hitler suspected that the Thyssen’s were cheating him right and left. And Thyssen was smart and by the time that Hitler declared war on Poland Thyssen figured the game was up and he fled the country. And proclaimed himself to be an anti-Nazi. The truth was he was making a profit on both sides. As were the Rockefeller's as were the Fords and DuPont’s and Bush’s. And to be fair, once they had invested in Germany what they were going to do? They couldn't emigrate with a steel mill. Their money was trapped there. So rather than take the loss some very greedy people made a war, made a war profit. And while American and British soldiers died they were making millions.
To hide his records from the British Thyssen moved them to the Dutch branch during World War Two. Now when the Nazis overran Holland Thyssen had to hide the records again so they moved them back to the August Thyssen bank in Berlin. Because there had been a Nazi custodian appointed who was actually another Thyssen employee. So they hid all the secret stock ownership for the New York bank and the Dutch bank and they hid all the bank accounts in these underground vaults in the Thyssen bank in Berlin
Now the U.S. government was also studying the matter, and our Alien property custodians decided that this little New York bank that the Bush's ran was the subsidiary of a Dutch bank. And once the Dutch overran Holland it was a Nazi bank. So believe it or not the US government quietly seized President Bush's father and grandfather's business holdings as Nazi fronts.
These properties were quietly returned after the war. Because after all they were just Dutch banks. And when the Dutch got their banks back, so did the Bush’s. Of course it wasn’t a Dutch bank at all, it never was. It was always, always secretly owned by the leading Nazi industrialists in Europe."

"So one of the reasons that Thyssen got away with it was that he had a very good lawyer. And his lawyer was Allen Dulles. Now, Allen Dulles was in charge of U.S. intelligence investigations in Germany after the war. It was very convenient. Because Allen Dulles was also the lawyer for the Thyssen’s. And also the lawyer for the Bush’s.
The law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell to which Allen Dulles brother belonged was actually the law firm that handled most of these bank transactions and set up the companies. They were the people who helped direct American investment in Germany during the 1920’s and 1930’s. And now it was up to the Dulles brothers to help their clients get their money back. In particular the Rockefeller's had to huge chunk of money in Brown Brothers Harriman which the Bush’s had invested in Thyssen empire. And the Rockefeller's had no sense of humor about going broke. They wanted their money back.
And so in 1951 everything had quieted down. Allen Dulles and his brother were about to become members of the Eisenhower administration. The New York bank that the Bush's ran was quietly liquidated down. Now, the Bush’s, Prescott Bush and Walker each got one share of stock worth three-quarters of a million dollars. So the Bush family took out $1.5 million in 1951 dollars. That's where the Bush family fortune came from. It came from the Third Reich. That was blood money.
Yes, the Thyssen’s were among the largest slave holders in the Nazi empire. They, they use their huge coal mines where they used Jewish slave labors as if they were disposable chemicals. Thyssen Steel was the United Steel, Vereinigte Stahlwerke, was the heart of the Nazi war machine. But they all got their money back.
After the war the Thyssen’s slowly brought money out of hiding from New York and Argentina and they began to rebuild. In 1971 they merged with another bank and formed the Thyssen-Bornemisza Group. Chase Manhattan Bank in New York owns 31% of this holding company. It’s now worth $50 billion."
...
"This whole issue of being able to hide money through multinational shells has a direct effect on our political system. It's not just a question of double-punching ballots. The more important question is “who's funding our political campaigns?”
Perhaps they’re only rumors the allegations I have received from the intelligence community are the Thyssen family are the secret sources of that slush fund in Germany. That Helmut Kohl refuses to disclose the origins of. That they were the secret financial backers of their neighbor in London. They live right across the street from Margaret Thatcher. And that the Thyssen’s and their business partners, the Rockefeller's, have been the Wall Street wing of the Republican Party, financing candidates for the last forty years in the U.S.
But there was this almost bottomless slush fund of campaign money. There are numerous Thyssen outlets in the U.S. So legally Thyssen employees in America can donate money to campaigns. And I don't know if we will ever know how much of that money was actually donated by Thyssen employees and how much was reimbursed from abroad. Reimbursements from abroad are, of course, a felony. Foreign corporations may not contribute to American politics."
FF - That was history. Only one story that made the news out of countless unknown others that never did.
I go into the Thyssen/Bush connection in greater detail in this old Stack I shared:
https://freedomfox.substack.com/p/knowing-the-true-adversary
And here's a contemporary story that's made the news in our time. Out of countless unknown others that never do.
This one is about the Fanjul family. Florida Crystals, aka Domino Sugar empire. Plays both sides. One brother, Pepe, is a major Republican donor, big Bush/McCain/Romney/Trump supporter. The other brother, Alfy, is a major Democrat donor, big Clinton/Obama/Biden/Harris supporter. The entire family hedges. Just like the Thyssen's. To protect their status.

Hedge...hedge...hedge...funds. Hedge funds! Like BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, the ones that own 90% of the global assets and economy! They hedge all of their bets, so they win no matter who holds political office, no matter what political ideology, no matter what system of government!
They protect their status in society. Not you. Not me. Not R's. Not D's. Not Germans. Not Americans. Not capitalism. Not communism. Not freedom. Not Labor. Not Green. Not Islam. Not Catholicism. Not Israeli's. Not Palestinians. Not even totalitarianism or tyranny. They. Don't. Care. As long as they retain their status and privilege. For many of us who saw the world through rose-colored glasses before 2020 the picture is coming into much sharper focus.
The question now is, what do we do about it? Go back to sleep? Dog-eat-dog? If you can beat 'em, join 'em? Defy, disobey them, pay the price? Maybe pay the ultimate price? What are we going to do about it?

Wow.
„The more important question is who‘s funding our political campaigns.“ Hitler‘s Nazi party was financed by German and foreign financial interests and put into power without having an electoral mandate. I believe the highest % he and his party ever received in a free election was about 37%. Among my current books of reading is NAZI BILLIONAIRES - The Dark History of Germany‘s Wealthiest Dynasties by David de Jong, 2022. Isn’t it also interesting the Senator Truman (later president) stated in 1941 after Operation Barbarossa was launched, „If Russia wins we should support Germany. If Germany wins we should support Russia.“ David Talbot THE DEVIL‘s CHESSBOARD - Allen Dulles, … (2015) relates some interesting facts about contacts that Allan Dulles had meetings with high ranking Nazi officials in Switzerland during the war and most importantly after the war. He and his brother were lawyers for Wall Street banking interests.
Apologies, in my comment 2/2 I accidentally duplicated much of comment 1/2 from the transcript. Comment 2/2 has been revised to what was intended.
And yes, your comment corresponds with this transcript of the C-Span link.
Many of the Natzi scientists fled to America too. And the German Socialists infiltrated the universities.
They didn’t flee nor infiltrate. They were hired for their „expertise“ . The most famous and prominent was Werner von Braun. The U.S. military’s SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS which trained hundreds of Latin American officers used Gestapo handbooks for instruction.
And they infiltrated our medical schools via research, and--the result has been catastrophic for all of us as they had no moral scruples and they've undermined or destroyed the moral scruples of our children as they go through the college programs they left behind.
That was known as Operation Paperclip. Organized by Alan Dulles and the OSS. It wasn’t just scientists but rather Nazi’s of all kinds.
Every crisis allows the ghouls to advance totalitarianism. This was especially the case during the scamdemic, as it gave credence to Medical Martial Law. An interesting way to control outraged proles and transfer trillions of dollars to billionaires without using bombs, bullets, or drones.
Yes, a likely scenario to be aware of- and prepped for. No matter what, we need to protect ourselves and loved ones from violence, hunger, lack of privacy- our own shelters. There’s so much info on the many schemes (already in play) that it’s difficult to keep up. I understand that. But we mustn’t forget past aggressions, to stay aware of ANY action taken, such as: taking possession of our homes “in the name of protecting the country, that it’s a sacrifice for the people in times of uncertainty.” BS!! It’s a blatant replay of commie takeover tactics, that was even a part of the civil war. Imagine having a group of soldiers stationed (forcibly) in your homes with your children, parents, spouses. How comfortable is that?! If we continue to accept what “they” say is a new law every time, they continue to march forward into the next phase of takeover. The old saying “history repeats itself,” is but a smooth-over phrase for stating that the “rule” books were made to be repeated. Very likely, in worse manners. But manners are not values we find in these degenerate criminals.
Canada, West Coast here. We are in a rain forest on the Pacific ocean. I have property, stockpiled seeds, manure and can grow and preserve my own food. And stockpiled canned and dried foods. Installed a wood stove and huge amounts of wood, easy to get here. But my adult kids are totally unaware. Very concerned about them and my grandkids. They need to know, not only the threat, but how to live independently from govt interference. From a granny alone.
You may outlast many of us.
May the hand of the LORD our God protect you Linda.
Thank you so much. Nearly brings me to tears. I have searched for God for decades. I know he’s there. Haven’t found him. I’d appreciate any advice you might have. I attended several churches here. All gone woke.
I remember you from years ago at Truth Dig...I hope you are well.
It is great you can continue to offer some levity during this horrible situation you find yourself in.
The U.S. too has drifted far from its so-called "democratic principles" especially the First Amendment of freedom of speech and calling anything speech it doesn't like "hate speech" and those who speak it "terrorists". Have all these so-called "democratic" countries drifted so far from these principles that there is no hope of return to them? I fear so.
Some alternative/dissident voices that I follow are being silenced on Instagram now. Even though a contrite Mark Zuckerberg admitted that it may have been the wrong thing to do, colluding with the US Government to censor people on Facebook and Instagram, they seem to be at it again.
Yea, and I seriously doubt they will ever stop.
We are spiralling. Solzhenitsyn told us about our future.
That whole charade with the zucker dude seems off to me anyway. I’d like to find a great way to communicate without these blatant attacks on our democratic rights. I’m listening, hopeful that we remain the majority in favor of freedom. I won’t entertain the “bleak” scenarios as the only way it’s going to go down.
By the time we even hear of the threats to our representative Republic, the dominoes are already in alightment and the rest we learn in bits and pieces. So yes, I fear so too. Americans are used to paying large sums of money in taxes for the protection and safety promised in our Constitution. It's hard to get our heads around the fact that pages relevant to our security have been torn out and protection is a punishable offense. I keep hoping that we get Trump so we can relax a little bit and be better prepared after having 4 years to do so. Otherwise, if the socialist democrats & RINOS get away with pledging themselves the electors of the 2024 election like they said "no matter what", they will of course throw out pro-Trump votes and count only pro-Biden states (there won't be enough votes to count so they'll give us a fake figure for the state instead). Therefore, I suspect the democrats will be paying for states' cooperation. 2024 may be the end of our "drift" to use your words, and the beginning of the end. Except for one thing...the 2nd.
Canada, West Coat here. I pray that Trump gets in. And creepy socialist Globalist traitor Trudeau is defeated 2025. Conservatives have had a twenty point lead for over a year. But Trudeau is reacting our formerly tight election rules, and massive numbers of new immigrants will vote for him. In spite of Trudeau’s efforts, all of rural Canada is still armed. God Bless America! We stand with you. MAGA! Eh?
"alignment"
Dang Germany sucks.
I'm sure glad I live over here in the free United States where a frightening, dangerious little old lady grandmother was just sentenced to home arrest for after being invited on 7 January to enter the Capitol building, who did not invade any private spaces, she did not assault or disparage the police, nor did the little old lady do any damage any property so the judge mercy fully sentenced her to three years home arrest, ankle bracleted subject to unannounced police visits into her home any time day or night and she, of course, is required to pee in a bottle for drug testing on demand.
This action by the D.C. judge is of course justifiable and entirely different from the German lady's.
Who knows what the grandmother might try to do this coming January if she hadn't been house jailed just in the nick of time!
I of course fully supported our duly appointed leader, Buck Fiden recognizing his wisdom and vigor until ordered otherwise and now, as otherwise ordered love, laud, support and will vote at least thrice for Qué mala!
I put a voodoo curse on her for you, Mr Hopkins, in a show of solidarity from Texas, you’re welcome! 😆

Good luck, CJ! Are doing okay financially, in spite of everything? I had some left over in August.
Honestly, I've never really been doing OK financially, but my legal expenses through this round are more or less covered, thanks to generous folks like you!
I’ll keep a Franklin or two back. Don’t hesitate, I owe you much more
CJ, I am hopeful someone-- a whistle blower in the government, in German MSM-- will do some covert work on "Karl's" background and cases in the GDR and expose them. You can't make this shit up, man. So,
yep, Germany is returning to its roots a century later. . .
It stinks too
Dear CJ, let me please express again my deep regret of the fact that our beloved German „democracy“ continues to hunt you. I do understand your bitterness. Born in 1957 in just that German Democratic Republc, I used to be convinced that I had been lucky enough to live on THE RIGHT SIDE of the iron curtain. To be honest, I was not aware of that dark side of our society. Ines Karl seems to belong exactly to my generation. From my point of view she used to do the dirty job then and she is doing it now. This proves just the fact that you may find enough assholes for this kind of job anywhere and anytime. It may seem that it is her who is causing you problems, I think the truth is: the asshole is being used by „the system“. She is just the useful idiot for those in power who are afraid of people like you. Sad enough. Will try to attend the next phase of your trial on Sep 30.
I traveled through the GDR on my way to a demonstration in Berlin against the Vietnam War. That experience of witnessing the extreme fear of the people I came into contact with on that trip was slammed into my brain in such a way that I have never forgotten how harsh that totalitarian existence must have been. I can’t imagine how brainwashed people must have been to think that they were fortunate to be living there.
Awesome wonderful satire, as always; Kafka is rolling over in his grave, or Castle, his Trial by Metamorphosis. Oh, and Dick Cheney who shot his quail-hunting buddy in the face just endorsed Ka-mala Harris for President, and Ka-mala is running for Prosecutor-in-Chief, so take that, Ines Karl!
Interpretation… can make any sentence mean anything you wish… once you decided to only view what is said or written as being hateful .. even a love letter can fall foul of a twisted mind.
It's not about "hate" from us, it's about speech control by "them."
control, absolute rigid control

There's no room in this country for both socialist democrats and the people! One has to go. Guess who. Rulers without those to rule can't be rulers. And people. well, there's over 300 million of us. Think about it.
I meant to write "communists" instead of socialist democrats, but it's the same difference.

You wrote it twice and it’s ridiculous both times to call these predatory capitalist MIC front men and women socialists.
You are in my thoughts and prayers always 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am suprised they do not call them 'anti-love' crimes or 'anti-joy' crimes, since they are trying to increase the love and joy in everyone's life so much lately. Thanks for your efforts to put the love and joy show on parade.
