Vladimir Lenin, the first leader of the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics, stated:
“Socialized medicine is a keystone to the establishment of a socialist state.”
|
|
“Nazi” is the abbreviation of National Socialist Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Arbeiterpartei).
Its leader was Adolph Hitler, who became Chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933.
Hitler began implementing a plan of universal healthcare, with no regard for conscience.
Ronald Reagan stated in 1961:
“One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project.”
|
|
The New York Times reported October 10, 1933:
“Nazi Plan to Kill Incurables to End Pain; German Religious Groups Oppose Move …
The Ministry of Justice … explaining the Nazi aims regarding the German penal code, today announced its intentions to authorize physicians to end the sufferings of the incurable patient … in the interest of true humanity …”
|
|
The New York Times continued:
“The Catholic newspaper Germania hastened to observe: ‘The Catholic faith binds the conscience of its followers not to accept this method’ …
In Lutheran circles, too, life is regarded as something that God alone can take …
Euthanasia … has become a widely discussed word in the Reich … No life still valuable to the State will be wantonly destroyed.”
|
|
When Germany’s economy suffered, expenses had to be cut from the national healthcare plan, such as keeping alive handicapped, insane, chronically ill, elderly and those with dementia.
They were considered “lebensunwertes leben” — life unworthy of life.
|
|
Then criminals, convicts, street bums, beggars and gypsies, considered “leeches” on society, met a similar fate.
|
|
In the United States, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., took the fateful step to “play God” in his infamous Buck v. Bell decision, that “for the protection and health of the state,” those the government deemed intellectually disabled should be forcibly sterilized:
“Three generations of imbeciles are enough.”
|
|
Also in the United States, Planned Parenthood founded Margaret Sanger began publishing The Birth Control Review in 1917.
In April of 1933, her magazine published an article by German eugenicist Ernst Rudin, considered “father of racial hygiene” of the National Socialist Workers Party.
|
|
Ernst Rudin advised the Socialist Workers Party that it must prevent hereditary defective genes from being passed on to future generations by people considered by the State to be inferior “under mankind” — “untermensch.”
|
|
The National Socialist Workers Party labeled the Aryan race as “herrenvolk” (master race) and “ubermensch” (super mankind).
Aryan etymology originated in Iran, from where the Indo-Iranian people group descended.
|
|
The National Socialist Workers Party enacted unconscionable plans to reduce the population and purge the human gene pool of Jews, Gypsies, Slavs, Negroes, and other whom they considered “inferior” races.
As a result, 6 millions of Jews and millions of others were barbarically killed in gruesome gas chambers and ovens.
|
|
Nazis anatomists harvested human body parts of prisoners for scientific research and gruesome laboratory experimentation.
|
|
One cannot help but see similarities between Nazi medical experimentation with human body parts and recent headlines:
- “Planned Parenthood exec, fetal body parts subject of controversial video” CNN, 7/15/15;
- “New Documents Prove Planned Parenthood Illegally Profited From Selling Aborted Baby Parts,” LifeNews.com,
- “Planned Parenthood Harvests Baby Parts,” Plam.org.
- Fox and Friends, January 28, 2019, Cardinal Timothy Dolan described New York Governor’s Reproductive Health Act which allows for the killing of babies as they are being born, as “ghoulish, grisly, gruesome.”
|
|
U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop stated in 1977:
“When the first 273,000 German aged, infirm and retarded were killed in gas chambers there was no outcry from that medical profession … and it was not far from there to Auschwitz.”
|
|
British Journalist Malcolm Muggeridge explained:
“We have … for those that have eyes to see, an object lesson in what the quest for ‘quality of life’ without reference to ‘sanctity of life’ can involve …
The origins of the Holocaust lay, not in Nazi terrorism … but in … Germany’s acceptance of euthanasia and mercy-killing as humane and estimable.”
|
|
Suddenly, just one month after Hitler was made Germany’s Chancellor, there was a crisis.
Germany’s capitol building — the Reichstag — was set on fire in 1933, under suspicious conditions.
Numerous historians implicate Hitler and his supporters as being responsible in what is termed a “false flag” event – a crisis perpetrated by the government on its own citizens to create a panic of sufficient magnitude to induce the population to surrender freedoms to the government.
|
|
Immediately after the Reichstag fire, Hitler declared the “Fire Act,” February 28, 1933, which nullified civil liberties and suspended basic rights.
In the midst of this national frenzy, Hitler swiftly arrested his political opponents and had them shot without a trial.
|
|
The Nazi Minister of Propaganda was Joseph Goebbels, who famously defined “fake news”:
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.
It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
|
|
Goebbels’ propaganda methods were studied in the U.S. after WWII, most notably in Solomon Asch’s Conformity Experiment.
|
|
Students were brought into a classroom and shown two cards:
- the first had one line on it, and
- the second had three lines, one the same length as the first card, another line longer and another shorter.
All student were paid actors, except one naive participant.
One by one, the paid actors said the wrong length matched the first card. Last was the naive participant’s turn to answer.
|
|
So strong was the desire to fit in and be accepted, that 30 percent of naive participants denied their own perception in order to conform with the group.
This method of promoting agendas through peer pressure and the manipulation of one’s desire for acceptance has been integrated into classroom education, television sitcoms, news reporting, social media platforms, and political campaigning.
It most recently is used in the advancement of novel sexual agendas, which many privately consider contrary to biology but are afraid to express so publicly for fear of being shamed, ridiculed or ostracized.
|
|
Goebbels propaganda methods utilized cinema and choreographed gatherings.
|
|
Hitler rose to power with the help of violent homosexual activists called Brownshirts, who organized social unrest, street riots, vandalism, boycotts of Jewish businesses, and violently stormed into and disrupted meetings of opposing parties.
Once securely in power, Hitler had the Brownshirts killed in the Night of the Long Knives, thus eliminating competition and giving the public impression of cracking down on law-breakers.
|
|
Hitler swayed the public with mesmerizing speeches.
|
|
He then confiscated weapons from law-abiding citizens.
An SA Oberführer warned of an ordinance by the provisional Bavarian Minister of the Interior:
“The deadline set … for the surrender of weapons will expire on March 31, 1933. I therefore request the immediate surrender of all arms …
Whoever does not belong to one of these named units (SA, SS, and Stahlhelm) and … keeps his weapon without authorization or even hides it, must be viewed as an enemy of the national government and will be held responsible without hesitation and with the utmost severity.”
|
|
Heinrich Himmler, head of Nazi S.S. (“Schutzstaffel”-Protection Squadron), stated:
“Germans who wish to use firearms should join the S.S. or the S.A. Ordinary citizens don’t need guns, as their having guns doesn’t serve the State.”
Disarming the civilian population was a necessary step in state control, as Vladimir Lenin explained: “One man with a gun can control 100 without one. “
George Mason of Virginia stated:
“To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.”
Noah Webster wrote:
“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed.”
Machiavelli wrote:
“It is not reasonable to suppose that one who is armed will obey willing one who is unarmed.”
|
|
When a suspected homosexual youth shot a Nazi diplomat in Paris, it was used as an excuse to confiscate all firearms from Jews.
German newspapers printed, November 10, 1938:
“Jews Forbidden to Possess Weapons By Order of SS Reichsführer Himmler, Munich …
‘Persons who, according to the Nürnberg law, are regarded as Jews, are forbidden to possess any weapon. Violators will be condemned to a concentration camp and imprisoned for a period of up to 20 years.'”
|
|
The New York Times, November 9, 1938, reported:
“The Berlin Police … announced that … the entire Jewish population of Berlin had been ‘disarmed’ with the confiscation of 2,569 hand weapons, 1,702 firearms and 20,000 rounds of ammunition.
Any Jews still found in possession of weapons without valid licenses are threatened with the severest punishment.”
|
|
Of the Waffengesetz (Nazi Weapons Law), March 18, 1938, Hitler stated at a dinner talk, April 11, 1942 (Hitler’s Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations, 2nd Edition, 1973, p. 425-6, translated by Norman Cameron and R. H. Stevens):
“The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing …
So let’s not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order.”
|
|
The Church had allowed Hitler to rise to power because of Germany’s version of separation of church and state.
For centuries it had embraced pietism, which, on one hand, emphasized a genuine personal relationship with God; but on the other hand, focused so much on the personal side that the church abandoned any efforts to influence the state.
Goebbels confided in The Goebbels Diaries 1939-1941, that in reality Hitler “hates Christianity, because it has crippled all that is noble in humanity.”
|
|
Hitler at first pretended to be sympathetic to Christianity in order to get elected.
He duped naive Christian ministers with his placating rhetoric, but once in power he dispensed with the pretense and revealed his nazified social Darwinism and open hostility toward Christianity.
|
|
Hitler forced old traditional military generals to retire, thus purging his administration of any still retaining a remnant of “archaic” Judeo-Christian values who might resist him.
|
|
Franklin D. Roosevelt stated December 15, 1941:
“To Hitler, the church … is a monstrosity to be destroyed by every means.”
|
|
Hitler attempted to “nazify” the German Protestant Church.
Ministers who resisted were imprisoned, such a founder of the Confessing Church, Rev. Martin Niemöller, who wrote:
“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me.”
|
|
FDR stated in his State of the Union Address, January 6, 1942:
“The world is too small … for both Hitler and God …
Nazis have now announced their plan for enforcing their … pagan religion all over the world … by which the Holy Bible and the Cross of Mercy would be displaced by Mein Kampf and the swastika.”
|
|
Franklin D. Roosevelt stated of Hitler, December 15, 1941:
“Government to him is not the servant … of the people but their absolute master and the dictator of their every act …
The rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness which seemed to the Founders of the Republic inalienable, were, to Hitler and his fellows, empty words …”
|
|
FDR continued:
“Hitler advanced: That the individual human being has no rights whatsoever in himself … no right to a soul of his own, or a mind of his own, or a tongue of his own, or a trade of his own; or even to live where he pleases or to marry the woman he loves;
That his only duty is the duty of obedience, not to his God, not to his conscience, but to Adolf Hitler …
His only value is his value, not as a man, but as a unit of the Nazi state.”
|
|
Winston Churchill, in From War to War (Second World War, Vol. 1, ch. 4, p. 50) described Hitler’s Mein Kampf as:
“… the new Koran of faith and war: turgid, verbose, shapeless, but pregnant with its message.”
|
|
Hitler was initially going to allow Jews to be deported to Palestine, but the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Mohammad Amin al-Husseini, who met with Hitler, also held anti-Jewish views.
|
|
Beginning in 1931, al-Husseini attempted to follow Hitler’s example by expelling Jews from Palestine, as the Muslim Brotherhood would also do in Egypt.
|
|
Mufti al-Husseini recruited 30,000 Bosnian Muslims to join Hitler’s Waffen-SS.
Hitler gave al-Husseini financial assistance, and then asylum in 1941, with the honorary rank of an SS Major-General
|
|
During the final battle in Berlin in April of 1945, as allied forces closed in on Hitler’s bunker, they confronted a hundred Muslims of the Mufti’s Arab Legion making their last suicidal stand.
|
|
Hitler’s view was the Nazi’s had the right solution but the wrong religion, stating:
“Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers (732 AD) … then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism, that cult which glorifies the heroism and which opens up the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone. Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world.”
|
|
Hitler stated of the Nazis:
“The peoples of Islam will always be closer to us than, for example, France.”
|
|
According to Albert Speer, Third Reich’s Minister of Armaments and War Production, Hitler stated in private:
“The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity … with its meekness and flabbiness?”
|
|
A leader of the Confessing Church who resisted Hitler was Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer was born FEBRUARY 4, 1906.
|
|
He studied in New York in 1930, where he met Frank Fisher, an African-American seminarian who introduced him to Harlem’s Abyssinian Baptist Church.
|
|
He was inspired by African-American spirituals and the preaching of Adam Clayton Powell, Sr., who helped Bonhoeffer turn “from phraseology to reality,” motivating him to stand up against injustice.
|
|
Bonhoeffer helped found the Confessing Church in Germany, which refused to be intimidated by Hitler into silence.
He stated:
“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless.”
|
|
In his book, The Cost of Discipleship, Bonhoeffer rebuked nominal Christians:
“Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline. Communion without confession.
Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ.”
|
|
Bonhoeffer stated in a 1932 sermon:
“The blood of martyrs might once again be demanded, but this blood, if we really have the courage and loyalty to shed it, will not be innocent, shining like that of the first witnesses for the faith.
On our blood lies heavy guilt, the guilt of the unprofitable servant.”
|
|
Dietrich Bonhoeffer warned Germans not to slip into the cult of Führer (leader) worship, as he could turn out to be a Verführer (mis-leader, seducer).
|
|
Jimmy Carter wrote in his book Sources of Strength, 1997:
“Rev. Niebuhr urged Dietrich Bonhoeffer to remain in America for his own safety. Bonhoeffer refused. He felt he had to be among the other Christians persecuted in Germany.
So he returned home, and … in resistance to Hitler…preached publicly against Nazism, racism, and anti-semitism …
Bonhoeffer was finally arrested and imprisoned.”
|
|
Of his return to Germany, Bonhoeffer wrote:
“Jesus Christ lived in the midst of his enemies. At the end all his disciples deserted him. On the cross he was utterly alone, surrounded by evildoers and mockers.
For this cause he had come, to bring peace to the enemies of God. So the Christian, too, belongs not in the seclusion of a cloistered life but in the thick of foes.”
|
|
Jimmy Carter continued:
“Dietrich Bonhoeffer died April 9, 1945, just a few days before the allied armies liberated Germany. He was executed on orders of Heinrich Himmler. He died a disciple and a martyr …”
|
|
Carter added:
“The same Holy Spirit … that gave Bonhoeffer the strength to stand up against Nazi tyranny is available to us today.”
|
|
Dietrich Bonhoeffer challenged:
“To endure the cross is not tragedy; it is the suffering which is the fruit of an exclusive allegiance to Jesus Christ”
|
|
On February 16, 2002, Dr. James Dobson told the National Religious Broadcasters:
“Those of you who feel that the church has no responsibility in the cultural area …
What if it were 1943 and you were in Nazi Germany and you knew what Hitler was doing to the Jews … Would you say, ‘We’re not political-that’s somebody else’s problem’?”
|
|
Dobson concluded:
“I thank God Dietrich Bonhoeffer did not give that answer, and he was arrested by the Nazis and hanged in 1945, naked and alone because he said, ‘This is not right.'”
