“Even after Hitler’s advent, the British continued to consider France more of a threat to British security than Germany. Great Britain, too adherent to its policy of balance of power in Europe, did a dangerous miscalculation in weighing and comparing the belligerence and preponderance of Germany and France

“Many Tories feared bolshevism, and stupid ones thought of Hitler as a sort of guarantee against future encroachments westward on the part of Russia. England and Germany should be allies against Russia, the great communist enemy”

The city of London, with enormous investment in Germany, allowed itself to be dazzled by the spurious brilliance of Dr. Schacht.
A great many powerful persons in Britain hated France and the French, and therefore tended to be pro-German”

The theory that the Jews were the superior race, and the antisemites the inferior ones was loudly started by Nietzsche, who added, tongue in cheek, that, because the two groups were obviously incompatible, the antisemites ought to be deported outside Germany. All of this more than 50 years before the Nazi craziness… Showing the later was a long installed cultural mood…

It was more than a theory too: the Nazis were, fundamentally, ignorant brutes. Hitler himself, in April 1945, recognized that the Slavs had proven a superior race to the Germans. Corollary: if he had known better, earlier, he would not have attacked the superior race.

Could, without American plutocratic influence whatsoever, Nazism have happened in Germany? I don’t think so. The reason is that the European Union would have been launched in 1920s and 1930s, instead of having to wait for the late 1940s. There were dedicated men of peace and Franco-German unification, on both sides of Rhine, and they dominated the national assemblies. The ideas they pushed were implemented after 1947.

The German civil war in 1932 was alimented and financed by arm trafficking from American plutocrats (at least 10,000 opponents to the Nazis were assassinated by American made guns, typically Brownings…).

It’s pretty obvious that American plutocrats (Ford, who hated Wall $treet, and Wall $treet, who hated Ford, IBM, Oilocrats like Standard Oil, Texaco, etc.) disliked the idea of Franco-German unification. Nazism was a way to combat this, among other things. The anti-European bias then, or today, is fairly obvious, just read the American financial-economic commentariat. Even Krugman, who claims to be pro-EU, keeps presenting dissembling posts and essays about it.

Starting in 1934, the USA was in a sort of cold war with the French Republic. It was all about Nazism, deep down. In 1944, the USA intended to occupy France, as if the French republic which had declared war TO Hitler in 1939, was just the Third Reich! They had prepared a fake currency, fake prefects, etc.: they were better prepared than the Nazis themselves, to occupy France!

It did not happen, because the a full reborn French army was in the way (one million men plus one million reserve, all with combat experience, not counting millions of soldiers still prisoner in Deutschland).

So evil can be amplified. Right now the threat is not a racist ideology. Racism was handy for war, but too few people believe in it now. So what’s ideal? CO2 built-up. Of course, American plutocrats don’t wake in the middle of the night, wanting to make more CO2 tomorrow. But they feel, that, at worse, “climate change” will lead to war, and that, the USA can handle, and even thrive from. The USA and its poodle, China, produce 40% of the world CO2. Notice that the relationship USA-China is eerily similar to the relation USA-Germany in the 1920s… A difference, though, is that China has learned a lot in the last century, not to say 3,000 years… And is conscious that it could be manipulated now, as Germany was, then.

2. Wherever people are afraid to lose ‘their money’ they get mighty nasty – and that has very little to do with ‘Plutocrats etc’. – it’s just the most simple and primitive reaction of simple and primitive people – perhaps not unlike the reaction of the brown, dumb and idiotic masses of Nazi Germany who elected one of theirs – The big difference – a lot happened in the last 60 years and it seems to be -(as not only Baden Wuerttemberg proves) – that the dumb and simple idiots in Europe are definitively in the minority – and we got to work with that!

1) that does not prevent Hitler and company, especially company, to be used as the warning to civilization they constitute. Don’t forget Germany had the highest literacy rate, say around 1900 CE. But the essential of this mental performance was used for evil ends between 1914 and 1945 (Nietzsche wants to lodge a protest, and points out that the herd phenomenon, the Prussian goose stepping, the rabid racism and militarism, started before 1870, and that even he, Nietzsche, was initially dragged into it…) What happened to Germany could happen to the USA, or China.

2) and the fact remains that the present euro crisis has been an accusation fest against the populations of various countries, whereas the real culprits are the financial-industrial system the global plutocrats and their obsequious servants have set-up… And that was exactly the force behind Hitler and the Nazis. After 1918, German plutocracy (greatly the author of the aggression of 1914) became a subsidiary of Americano-British plutocracy (part of it even Jewish, see the Warburg saga! Not to speak of the rothschild, and the Nazis, and fascismo themselves played with these concepts, as they ran against… the plutocracy which instigated them, a bit like Obama ran for change and against the status quo, while embracing it…).
