Historical Significance Sixty-three years ago, Nazi Germany had overrun
almost all of Europe and hammered England to the verge of bankruptcy
and defeat, and had sunk more than four hundred British ships in their
convoys between England and America for food and war materials. At
that time the US was in an isolationist, pacifist mood, and most
Americans wanted nothing to do with the European or the Asian war.
Then along came Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and in outrage
Congress unanimously declared war on Japan, and the following day on
Germany, which had not yet attacked us. It was a dicey thing. We had
few allies. France was not an ally, as the Vichy government of France
quickly aligned itself with its German occupiers. Germany was
certainly not an ally, as Hitler was intent on setting up a
Thousand-Year Reich in Europe. Japan was not an ally, as it was well
on its way to owning and controlling all of Asia. Together, Japan and
Germany had long-range plans of invading Canada and Mexico, as
launching pads to get into the United States over our Northern and
southern borders, after they finished gaining control of Asia and
Europe. Americas only allies then were England, Ireland, Scotland,
Canada, Australia, and Russia. That was about it. All of Europe, from
Norway to Italy, except Russia in the East, was already under the Nazi
heel. America was certainly not prepared for war. America had
drastically downgraded most of its military forces after W.W.I and
throughout the depression, so that at the outbreak of WW2, army units
were training with broomsticks because they didnt have guns, and cars
with “tank” painted on the doors because they didnt have real tanks.
And a huge chunk of our navy had just been sunk or damaged at Pearl
Harbor.
Britain had already gone bankrupt, saved only by the donation of $600
million in gold bullion in the Bank of England, that was actually the
property of Belgium, given by Belgium to England to carry on the war
when Belgium was overrun by Hitler (a little known fact). Actually,
Belgium surrendered on one day, because it was unable to oppose the
German invasion, and the Germans bombed Brussels into rubble the
day just to prove they could. Britain had already been holding out for
two years in the face of staggering losses and the near decimation of
its air force in the Battle of Britain, and was saved from being
overrun by Germany only because Hitler made the mistake of thinking the
Brits were a relatively minor threat that could be dealt with later,
and first turning his attention to Russia, at a time when England was
on the verge of collapse, in the late summer of 1940. Ironically,
Russia saved Americas butt by putting up a desperate fight for two
years, until the US got geared up to begin hammering away at Germany.
Russia lost something like 24 million people in the sieges of
Stalingrad and Moscow alone 90% of them from cold and starvation,
mostly civilians, but also more than 1,000,000 soldiers. Had Russia
surrendered, Hitler would have been able to focus his entire war effort
against the Brits, then America. And the Nazis could possibly have won
the war. All of this is to illustrate that turning points in history
are often dicey things. And now, we find ourselves at another one of
those key moments in history. There is a very dangerous minority in
Islam that either has, or wants and may soon have, the ability to
deliver small nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons, almost anywhere
in the world. The Jihadis, the militant Muslims, are basically Nazis
in Kaffiyahs — they believe that Islam, a radically conservative form
of Wahhabi Islam, should own and control the Middle East first, then
Europe, then the world. And that all who do not bow to their will of
thinking should be killed, enslaved, or subjugated. They want to
finish the Holocaust, destroy Israel, and purge the world of Jews.
This is their mantra.
There is also a civil war raging in the Middle East — for the most
part not a hot war, but a war of ideas. Islam is having its
Inquisition and its reformation, but it is not known yet which will win
— the Inquisitors, or the Reformationists. If the Inquisition wins,
then the Wahhabis, the Jihadis, will control the Middle East, the OPEC
oil, and the US, European, and Asian economies.
The techno-industrial economies will be at the mercy of OPEC — not an
OPEC dominated by the educated, rational Saudis
