“many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many..” (Matthew 24:11)
In modern times “prophets” are commonly thought of as religious figures, but at the time that this prophecy was made religion and socio-politics were inseparable, and we need to apply that understanding to the reprise of this oft-repeated refrain.
It is thought that up to 85 million people were killed in WWII – about half of them civilians – as a direct or indirect result of WWII including famine and disease / pestilence, as the followers of the false prophet Hitler plundered the resources of their neighbors.
But it didn’t stop there. In 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower left office warning of the growing power of the military-industrial complex in America. “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed.”
Americans still backed the redistribution of wealth from humanitarian aid to defense because the mass murder of WWII was more than doubled by the human toll of twentieth-century socialism by false prophets Lenin and Mao, estimated to be about 200 million killed worldwide, even though not in a war against foreigners, but domestic purges of “enemies of the state” during state-organized famines, purges, collectivization, cultural revolutions, campaigns against “unearned” income, and other devilish experiments in social engineering.
In its monstrosity, this terror is unrivaled in the course of human history.
So what makes the Jewish Holocaust so special? Not to sound cold, but frankly, 6 million pales in comparison to 279 million by the Fascist and Communist holocausts so it can’t be sheer numbers.
I put to you that certain guilty parties to Germany’s holocaust are masking their guilt behind their vocal condemnation of others.
Hitler’s so-called “Master Race” of white, blond-haired, blue-eyed Nordics didn’t originate with Hitler.
Among recent books on Nazism, the one that may prove most disquieting for American readers is James Q. Whitman’s “Hitler’s American Model: The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law” (Princeton)…Whitman methodically explores how the Nazis took inspiration from American racism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He notes that, in “Mein Kampf,” Hitler praises America as the one state that has made progress toward a primarily racial conception of citizenship, by “excluding certain races.”
