The Talmud - Part I
Part I
„When we come to the Babylonian Gemara, we are dealing with what most
people understand when they speak or write of the Talmud. Its birthplace,
Babylonia, was an autonomous Jewish centre for a longer period than any other
land; namely, from soon after 586 before the Christian era to the year 1040
after the Christian era - 1626 years.“ (Rabbi
Hertz, English Edition of the Babylonian Talmud, the Soncino Talmud (1935), p.
XXI, Rabbi Hertz).
„The Talmud must not be
regarded as an ordinary work, composed of twelve volumes; it posies absolutely
no similarity to any other literary production, but forms, without any figure
of speech, a world of its own, which must be judged by its peculiar laws.
The Talmud contains much that
is frivolous of which it treats with great gravity and seriousness; it further
reflects the various superstitious practices and views of its Persian
(Babylonian) birthplace which presume the efficacy of demonical medicines, or
magic, incantations, miraculous cures, and interpretations of dreams. It also
contains isolated instances of uncharitable judgments and decrees against the
members of other nations and religions, and finally it favors an incorrect
exposition of the scriptures, accepting, as it does, tasteless
misrepresentations.
The Babylonian Talmud is
especially distinguished from the Jerusalem or Palestine Talmud by the flights
of thought, the penetration of mind, the flashes of genius, which rise and
vanish again. It was for this reason that the Babylonian rather than the
Jerusalem Talmud became the fundamental possession of the Jewish Race, its life
breath, its very soul, nature and mankind, powers and events, were for the
Jewish nation insignificant, non- essential, a mere phantom; the only true
reality was the Talmud.“ (Professor H. Graetz, History of the Jews).
„The Talmud has been the banner which has served as a rallying sign to
the Jews, dispersed in diverse countries; it has maintained the unity of
Judaism.“ (Graetz, History of the Jews).
„Pharisaism became Talmudism...But the spirit of the Ancient Pharisee
survives unaltered. When the Jew...studies the Talmud, he is actually repeating
the arguments used in the Palestinian academies. From Palestine to Babylonia;
from Babylonia to North Africa, Italy, Spain, France and Germany; from these to
Poland, Russia and eastern Europe generally, ancient Pharisaism has wandered...“ (The
Pharisees, by Louis Finkelstein, Foreword, Vol. 1).
„The Talmud derives its authority from the position held by the ancient
(Pharisee) academies. The teachers of those academies, both of Babylonia and of
Palestine, were considered the rightful successors of the older Sanhedrin...At
the present time, the Jewish people have no living central authority comparable
in status to the ancient Sanhedrins or the later academies. Therefore, any
decision regarding the Jewish religion must be based on the Talmud as the final
resume of the teaching of those authorities when they existed.“ (The
Jews - Their History, Culture, and Religion, by Rabbi Louis Finkelstein, Vol.
4, p. 1332, Jewish Publication Society of America, 1949).
„The Talmud: Heart's Blood of the Jewish Faith...“ (November
11, 1959, New York Herald Tribune, based on The Talmud, by Herman Wouk).
„The Talmud is to this day the circulating heart's blood of the Jewish
Religion. Whatever laws, customs or ceremonies we observe - whether we are
orthodox, conservative, reform or merely spasmodic sentamentalists = we follow
the Talmud. It is our Common Law.“ (The Talmud, by Herman Wouk).

The Nature of Patriotism
What Factors Control Whether People Are Loyal to Their Country?
I have been
reading about Aldrich Ames, an employee in our Central Intelligence Agency who
was caught spying against the United States. There have been several other
Americans caught recently who were spying for foreign governments, including
one who was an FBI agent, but Ames was the most important, in terms of the
amount of damage he did. A book about Ames, who was arrested three years ago,
has been published recently. Its author is Pete Earley, and it’s titled
Confessions of a Spy. The most interesting thing to me in the book was Ames’s
explanation of why he decided to sell American secrets to the KGB. He never
really thought of himself as a traitor. He needed money, and he didn’t think
the CIA was paying him enough; he was essentially an alienated person who felt
no sense of loyalty to anything.
There are a great many other people
in this country who are just as alienated, just as self-oriented and rootless
as Aldrich Ames. Most of them, of course, aren’t in a position like Ames was
where they can do a great deal of damage. They don’t have the opportunity he
had. And even among those who do have the opportunity, most aren’t enterprising
enough or bold enough to take the risks involved. And that is the main reason
there aren’t more spies being caught: there is a certain element of risk
involved.
It used to be, 50 or 60 years ago,
that people didn’t spy against their country because of a sense of loyalty.
They felt themselves a part of the United States, and they would no more betray
their country than they would betray a family member. During and shortly after
the Second World War, for example, most of the American citizens caught spying
against this country were Jews who were selling information to the Soviet
Union. Part of the reason was because there was much more sympathy for
Communism among Jews than among non-Jews, but part of the reason also was that
Jews, as a group apart, felt no sense of loyalty to America. Their loyalty was
to other Jews and to Jewish interests, but not to the country in which they
happened to be living at the moment. Nowadays, Gentile Americans are nearly as
lacking in loyalty to America, nearly as lacking in patriotism, as Jews are.
People still feel a sense of loyalty to their friends and their families, but
not much else.
Why is this? What has changed in
America during the past 50 years to erode the sense of patriotism so much?
If you think about it for a minute
you’ll know the answer. The average White person can no longer look on America
as his family. He no longer feels a part of it. It’s just the place where he
happened to have been born and happens to be living. He no longer feels a sense
of kinship with all other Americans. The reason he doesn’t is primarily the
result of the enormous increase in what liberals and the media fondly call „diversity“:
that is, the great increase in the number of people with whom we feel nothing
in common - people with different roots, people who look different, think
differently, behave differently, and have different values - people whom we
cannot even imagine being part of our family. When we look at America and see a
great many people like that, when we see all of this „diversity,“ then we no
longer feel ourselves a part of
America. We no longer feel a sense
of loyalty to America. We no longer feel like traitors if we do something to
hurt America.
To be sure, not everyone is as
alienated yet as Aldrich Ames - but we’re getting there. And „diversity“ isn’t
the only thing which is eroding our sense of patriotism. The liberals and the
media are working hard at it. The Vietnam war took us a giant step away from
patriotism. Some of you may not remember, but 25 years ago there were giant
demonstrations in Washington on behalf of the Viet Cong and the Communists, who
were killing American soldiers at the rate of 100 a day. Left-wing groups with
Jewish leaders organized these demonstrations, and they bused in college
students from all over the country, hundreds of thousands of them, for these
demonstrations. Most of the kids weren’t Communists or even Communist
sympathizers: they were just following the people on their campuses who were
the loudest and pushiest and going along for the excitement and because it was
the trendy thing to do. Some Jew would hand one of them a Viet Cong flag, and
he would carry it, because everyone else was. It was very trendy, very
fashionable to be anti-American.
And the worst thing about all this
uproar during the Vietnam war is that the government did nothing to stop it.
The government was sending young men over to Vietnam to be killed by the Viet
Cong and the North Vietnamese and at the same time was permitting Viet Cong
sympathizers to organize huge demonstrations in Washington and even providing
police protection for them. The politicians were afraid to do anything, because
the Jew-controlled media all sympathized with the demonstrators, and the
politicians were afraid of the Jews. The net effect of this was a huge loss of
respect for the government on the part of nearly everyone. The kids found that
they could burn their draft cards and thumb their noses at the government and
get away with it, and so they lost their respect for the government. The
Vietnam vets came home and were treated like pariahs and felt unappreciated
even by the government which had sent them to Vietnam, and so they lost their
respect for the government. And I and many other patriots watched all of this
in disgust, and we lost our respect for the government.
Back during the war I used to
organize anti-Communist demonstrations to counter the big pro- Viet Cong
demonstrations the Jews were organizing, and I used to give speeches against
the politicians who were collaborating most openly with the Jews. I said in my
speeches that these politicians were guilty of treason and ought to be dealt
with summarily: they ought to be shot. And because of this the government
sicced the FBI on me: not on them, but on me. I, and many others, developed a
very negative feeling for the government during that time. That was 25 years
ago, but everyone who went through that experience was changed by it. Much of
the contempt for the government remains with them. And the kids who learned
that it was fashionable to be anti-American kept some of that attitude even
after they graduated from their colleges.
Of course, loss of respect for the
government and loss of patriotism are two different things, but they both have
been happening at the same time. It is interesting that today the media are
trying to coax people into respecting the government again, while their assault
on patriotism continues unabated. We have so many new laws and new governmental
programs that are to the liking of the Jews in the media, and the politicians
are so much more corrupt than they were 25 years ago, that the media now view
the government more as an ally than as a rival. But the Jews in the media still
hate and fear patriotism as much as ever. They have tried to make patriotism a
dirty word. And they have succeeded pretty well among the trendy yuppies and
the urban rabble over whom they have the strongest influence. They hold up the
militias as the epitome of patriotism, and they try to frighten the lemmings
with the specter of the angry, rural, White male with a gun and an American
flag who is threatening the government which provides their welfare checks.
It may be that the people in the
militias are not very sophisticated and don’t have very good public relations
programs, but most of them still do have a little sense of patriotism: more
patriotism, at least, than the folks who take their cue from the controlled
media. The reason the media and the big Jewish pressure groups like Morris Dees’s
Southern Poverty Law Center and the B’nai B’rith and the Simon Wiesenthal
Center hate the militias and their old-fashioned patriotism so much is that
they stand in the way of the New World Order. The Jews and their fellow
travelers want the American people to transfer their loyalty from America as it
used to be - that is, from the White America built by our ancestors when they
came here from Europe, the America we could think of as our extended family -
and give that loyalty instead to their New World Order.
Of course, they understand the idea
of loyalty based on blood, on kinship, on common roots. That’s the kind of
loyalty they have to each other and to Israel, but they don’t want us to have
that. They know how powerful it is. They hate the idea of us being united by
such a sense of patriotism. They hate it and fear it. And that’s why they’ve
been working so hard to undermine old-fashioned American patriotism and replace
it by allegiance to a faceless, raceless, rootless, cosmopolitan New World
Order - under their control, of course.
And they’re succeeding at least half
way. They are destroying patriotism in a substantial portion of the American
public - which is why we’re seeing more people like Aldrich Ames in the news
these days. They are not really succeeding, however, in building much
allegiance to the New World Order. Of course, they’ve made it a fashionable
idea among the liberals and the mindless trendies, and all of the politicians
are giving lip service to it. But ultimately they cannot succeed in
establishing loyalty to the New World Order in the place of old-fashioned,
race-based patriotism, because, no matter how fashionable they make their idea
of a New World Order among the liberals and the politicians, it is an unnatural
idea. Liberals may gush about equality and the „brotherhood of man“ and the
human race being the only race to which they feel loyalty, but that is empty
sophistry. Fools may let themselves be convinced that they have become
raceless, cosmopolitan patriots - patriots of the New World Order - but one
will find very few of them who are willing to die or even make any major
sacrifice for this new pseudo-patriotism.
Real patriotism is not some
artificial idea dreamed up by Jews: It is something based in our genes, an
instinct, an extension of the instinct for self-preservation to include our
kin, our nation. One can undermine that patriotism by muddying and confusing
the concept of nation, the image of nation, as has been done during the past
half-century by promoting „diversity.“ When the enemies of our people, with the
collaboration of the treasonous politicians in Washington - politicians of the
sort I publicly urged should be shot during the Vietnam war - when these
enemies infiltrate tens of millions of non-White immigrants into our country
and stifle any effort to halt the flood, when they subsidize the breeding of a
non-White underclass in our cities with our own tax money, when they force us
to accept these growing non-White masses into our schools and neighborhoods and
workplaces, when they saturate all of the news and entertainment media with the
alien faces, alien tones, and alien antics of these non-Whites and gloatingly
tell us that we’d better get used to the idea of becoming a minority in our own
land within the next 50 years, then, of course, the patriotism which came
naturally to our people in the past becomes meaningless - and we hear people
like Aldrich Ames telling us that he sold national security information to the
KGB because he needed money and he didn’t think he was doing anything worse
than the politicians in Washington do every day. And I guess it’s hard to argue
with him about that.
The process of social atomization,
of deracination, of separating people from their roots and cutting the bonds to
their natural communities so that they can become interchangeable units - human
atoms - for building the New World Order is being promoted ruthlessly by the
Jews and their collaborators, and the rising incidence of treason is only one
of the smaller and less important consequences of this genocidal process.
I say that this process is
genocidal, because it will certainly destroy us as a people, as a race, as well
as destroying us as a nation. People with no sense of patriotism are people
unable to defend themselves collectively. They are people who will be
victimized by any group which still has a group feeling.
One of the factors which has made it
possible for the Jews and their collaborators to undermine our patriotism is
that we took it too much for granted in the past. Most of our people didn’t
really think about it, analyze it, and understand its true basis. We let our
idea of patriotism gradually drift from a racial idea to a geographical idea, a
political idea. When our ancestors in Europe were defending their people
against Huns or Moors or Mongols or Turks, they understood patriotism. Even
after the rise of all of Europe’s national states, when patriotism began expressing itself as nationalism, it still
had a racial - or at least an ethnic - basis. The words themselves tell us what
their original meanings were. Patriotism, of course, comes from the Roman word
for „father.“ Patriotism is love of the fatherland, love of the land inhabited
by all of the people descended from a common father. Nationalism also comes to
us from the Romans, from the Latin word for „birth.“ A nation is a group of
people related by birth, by blood, and nationalism is love for that people,
loyalty to that people. These feelings of patriotism or nationalism are very
powerful feelings, because they are natural feelings. They contributed to our
survival over a very long period of evolution.
But when we forget the racial meaning
of patriotism and think of it only in geographical or political terms, as
loyalty to every person, of whatever race, color, or creed, who happens to be
living within a specified geographical area at the moment, then patriotism is
no longer a natural feeling, but instead becomes artificial, and consequently
much easier to subvert. And that is what has happened to people like Aldrich
Ames - and is happening to more and more White Americans all the time, as the
growth of „diversity“ proceeds.
The cure for this disease, for this
erosion of patriotism, is not difficult to find. It is obvious. It is simply to
understand and assimilate our patriotism as it originally was. The cure for
what is happening to America begins by returning to the natural, race-based patriotism
that our ancestors had when they halted the invading Moors at the Pyrenees
nearly 1300 years ago and when, a thousand years later, they defended their
settlements in North America against marauding Indians.
The enemies of our people have anticipated
this possibility, of course. Just as Morris Dees and his Southern Poverty Law
Center rail against the patriotism of the militias today, so have the Jews of
the media and their collaborators been stigmatizing natural patriotism for the
last 50 years. They call it „racism,“ and they have intimidated most of our
people into running for cover whenever they begin throwing out their
accusations of „racism.“
So while the cure for what has made
White America sick is not difficult to find, it is a little harder to apply. It
requires a little courage. It requires a little open-mindedness. It requires a
little mental independence. It requires a little moral strength. It requires
enough of us with these qualities to make patriotism a vital force in the life
of our country again.
I believe that we can find enough
such people to do the job. It will not be easy, of course. The media bosses and
all of the other people who hate the real America will fight us all the way.
The politicians will collaborate with them. Bill Clinton and everyone else who
was demonstrating for the Viet Cong during the Vietnam war will try to stop us.
But I believe that ultimately we
will prevail. I believe that natural patriotism will prevail over the phony
loyalty to the New World Order that the Jews and the trendies are promoting.
The only uncertainty I have is how long it will take us and how many must die
in overcoming America’s disease. Your help will make the victory come sooner
and will make our casualties fewer.

The Myth of Culpability
The 2nd World War?
The Sequence of Aggression
By Michael Walsh
One of the great mysteries of life is that despite the evidence to the
contrary millions of otherwise intelligent people still believe that Germany
was the all powerful aggressor during the 2nd World War. Nothing better than
these myths illustrate the mind-bending power of propaganda. The provable facts
suggest that Germany was the victim and not the perpetrator of naked
neighboring aggression. The subsequent allied military triumph was followed by
the triumph of the propagandists whose pressing need was to depict the victor
nations as being the victim. Край на формуляра

THE BRITISH EMPIRE:
"Germany is too strong. We must destroy her." - Winston
Churchill, Nov. 1936.
"In no country has the historical blackout been more intense and
effective than in Great Britain. Here it has been ingeniously christened The
Iron Curtain of Discreet Silence. Virtually nothing has been written to reveal
the truth about British responsibility for the Second World War and its
disastrous results.” - Harry Elmer Barnes. -
American Historian.
"The war was not just a matter of the elimination of Fascism in Germany, but rather of obtaining German sales markets." - Winston Churchill. March, 1946.
"Britain was taking advantage of the situation to go to war against Germany because the Reich had become too strong and had upset the European balance." - Ralph F. Keeling, Institute of American Economics.
"I emphasized that the defeat of Germany and Japan and their
elimination from world trade would give Britain a tremendous opportunity to
swell her foreign commerce in both volume and profit." - Samuel Untermeyer, The Public Years, p.347.
On September 2nd 1939 a delegate of the Labour Party met with the British
Foreign Minister Halifax in the lobby of Parliament. 'Do you still have
hope?' he asked. 'If you mean hope for war,' answered Halifax, 'then
your hope will be fulfilled tomorrow. 'God be thanked!' replied the
representative of the British Labour Party. - Professor Michael Freund.
"In Britain, Lord Halifax was reported as being 'redeemed'. He ordered
beer. We laughed and joked." - H. Roth. Are We Being Lied

"In April, 1939, (four months before the outbreak of war) Ambassador
William C. Bullitt, whom I had known for twenty years, called me to the
American Embassy in Paris. The American Ambassador told me that war had been
decided upon. He did not say, nor did I ask, by whom. He let me infer it. ...
When I said that in the end Germany would be driven into the arms of Soviet
Russia and Bolshevism, the Ambassador replied: "‘what of it? There will
not be enough Germans left when the war is over to be worth bolshevising." - - Karl von Wiegand, April, 23rd, 1944, Chicago Herald American.
"I felt sorry for the German people. We were planning - and we had the
force to carry out our plans - to obliterate a once mighty nation." - Admiral Daniel Leahy; U.S Ambassador.
MYTH 1. THE GERMAN NATION IS AN AGGRESSIVE
NATION
The facts prove otherwise. A Study of War by Prof. Quincy Wright,
shows that in the period from 1480 to 1940 there were 278 wars involving
European countries whose percentage participation was as follows:
ENGLAND |
28%
|
FRANCE

26%

GERMANY
(INCLUDING PRUSSIA)
|

|
DENMARK

|
Likewise, Pitirim Sorokin, Vol.111, Part.11, Social and Cultural
Dynamics, shows that from the 12th Century to 1925 the percentage of years
in which leading European powers have been at war is as follows. (p.352).

Sorokin concludes therefore, "that Germany has had the smallest and
Spain the largest percent of years at war." Of leading modern European
states, England, France and Russia show clearly twice the aggressive tendencies
of Germany.

GERMANY DID NOT WANT WAR
"I believe now that Hitler and the German people did not want war. But
we declared war on Germany, intent on destroying it, in accordance with our
principle of balance of power, and we were encouraged by the 'Americans' around
Roosevelt. We ignored Hitler's pleadings not to enter into war. Now we are
forced to realize that Hitler was right." - Attorney General, Sir. Hartley Shawcross, March,16th, 1984.
"The last thing Hitler wanted was to produce another great war." - Sir. Basil Liddell Hart.
"I see no reason why this war must go on. I am grieved to think of the
sacrifices which it will claim. I would like to avert them." - Adolf Hitler, July, 1940.
Winston Churchill agrees: "We entered the war of our own free will, without ourselves being directly assaulted." - Guild Hall Speech, July 1943.

BRITAIN
Britain’s relatively small but high quality Regular Army was supported by
the Territorial Army consisting of 26 Divisions with plans well in hand to
boost this to 55 divisions. This of course was in turn supported by the then
world’s largest conscription army holding an empire ‘upon which the sun never
set.’
The British Empire consisted also of the former German ‘empire’ of New Guinea, Nauru, Western Samoa, South West Africa, Quattar, Palestine, Transjordan, Tanganyika, Iraq, Togoland and the Cameroons. These territories stolen from Germany added another 1,061,755 square miles to the British Empire, the equivalent of 35 Scotlands

GERMANY
Against these formidable forces Germany was able to mobilise just
ninety-eight divisions of which only fifty-two were active (including Austrian
divisions). Of the remaining 46 divisions only 10 were fit for action on
mobilisation and even in these the bulk of them were raw recruits who had been
serving for less than one month.
The other 36 divisions consisted mainly of Great War veterans over the age of forty who were unfamiliar with modern weapons and up to date military techniques.

THE BALANCE SHEET
On the balance sheets it can be seen that the Poles and French alone, not counting Britain and its Empire, had the equivalent of 130 divisions against a total of 98 German divisions of with 1/3rd were virtually untrained men.
In terms of trained soldiers the Germans were at an even bigger disadvantage. (Note at the outbreak of war over 50% of the German armed forces was horse drawn).
WAR IN THE AIR
"The superiority of the Luftwaffe has been greatly exaggerated to
create the impression that Britain was the underdog; a David fighting Goliath.
In the run up to the Battle of Britain (August 10th 194) the Luftwaffe had 929
fighters available; mostly single-engine Messerschmitt 109s. Of these 227 were
twin-engine long-range Me110s which had a top speed of 350mph. Although it had
a faster rate of climb it was inferior when turning or manoeuvring.
The ME109’s range restricted its field of operation. Their real fields of
operation – out and back – was a little over 100 miles, a flight time of barely
95 minutes and a tactical flight time of just 75 minutes. This was a sever
handicap when it is considered that whereas the Luftwaffe pilots were operating
scores of miles from their base, British pilots were often within sight of
their own. This handicap was made more critical by the fact that downed RAF
pilots could be rescued whilst Luftwaffe pilots were of course – if they were
lucky – imprisoned.
The twin-engine ME110 was a slow flyer able to cruise at a little less than 300mph and was easily outpaced by the RAF’s Spitfires. It was also ‘sluggish in acceleration and difficult to manoeuvre.’
The twin-engine ME110 was a slow flyer able to cruise at a little less than 300mph and was easily outpaced by the RAF’s Spitfires. It was also ‘sluggish in acceleration and difficult to manoeuvre.’
The greatest handicap for the Germans however was there primitive radio
equipment. Unlike the British versions it was poor in air-to-air operation and
could not be controlled by the ground.
On the British side a total surpassing 650 fighter aircraft had been
amassed by mid-July, mostly Hurricanes and Spitfires although including nearly
100 of the older types. During that whole year Britain produced 4,238 fighters
compared with a derisory 3,000 manufactured by Germany.
In terms of armaments the noted British military historian, B.H Liddell
Hart noted: "What is quite clear,
and became evident at the start, was that the German bombers were too poorly
armed to be able to beat off the British fighters without a fighter escort of
their own.” – History of the Second World War.
GERMANY AND OTHER FREE COUNTRIES ATTACKED
Poland carried out the first acts of aggression. In March 1939 Poland,
already occupying German territory ‘acquired’ in 1919 invaded Czechoslovakia.
During the months running up to the outbreak of war Polish armed forces
repeatedly violated German borders. On August 31st 1939 Polish irregular armed
forces launched a full scale attack on the German border town of Gleiwitz.
Within hours Germany retaliated resulting in Britain and France’s
declarations of war on the German nation on 3rd Sept 1939. In Britain’s case
this declaration of war was constitutionally illegal. It was not as it should
have been ratified by parliament.
Despite her borders being constantly attacked by the numerically superior
armies of France and England, and economically strangled by world finance,
Germany refused to be drawn, negotiated for peace and turned the other cheek
for ten months.
Only when it accurately learned that England intended to broaden the
western front by occupying the Low Countries and Norway, thus surrounding and
threatening Germany’s entire borders, did Germany carry out a pre-emptive
strike.
Germany’s defensive counter attack was launched on 10th May 1940. This resulted in the rout of 330,000 British and French troops by a significantly smaller army. It was one of the worst debacles in military history. (The British press called it ‘a miracle).
Russia invaded Finland on Nov 30th 1939. Britain (not for the first time) and France invaded Norway's neutrality on 8th April 1940. To avoid attack via the Baltic Sea Germany counter-attacked.
