'When justice is crushed, when evil rules supreme, then I come. For the protection of the good, for the destruction of the evil-doers, for the sake of firmly establishing righteousness, I am born in age after age...'
-Bhagavad-Gita 4.7-8
[Savitri Devi, circa 1937]
'Sunshine is beautiful, daylight is sweet; and yet, more beautiful, and sweeter still, is death for Thee, death for Thy great Idea to triumph; for Thy reign to come.'
-Savitri Devi, 'Forever and Ever', Chapter 3, page 15
[August Kubizek]
'It was as though something strange, other-worldly, was bursting out of him.'
-August Kubizek, 'The Young Hitler I Knew' (pg.33). Kubizek was speaking of the magical nature of his childhood best friend, Adolf Hitler, who was sixteen at the time.
'It was not sympathy in the ordinary sense which he [Adolf Hitler] felt for the disinherited. That would not have been sufficient. He not only suffered with them, he lived for them and devoted all his thoughts to the salvation of those people from distress and poverty... his noble and grandiose work, which was intended 'for everybody'...
-August Kubizek, 'The Young Hitler I Knew' (pg.173).
'...to know, to dare, to will, and to be silent; and the last of the four is the hardest of them all.'
-At the Feet of the Master, written by Alcyone (Krishnamurti)
'46 years hanging on my bones...
all those years shot through the head
assassinated forever
drunk senseless
hobbled and slugged in factories
poked with bad dreams
dripping away in mouse- and ghost-infested rooms
across an America without meaning'
-Charles Bukowski, from his 1969 book of poetry 'The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over the Hills'
[A.J.P. Taylor]
'Far from wanting a great war, as is often alleged, Hitler was virtually the only statesman in Europe resolved to avoid one.'
-A.J.P. Taylor taken from the article 'Hitler as Strategist'.
'Hitler did not fail because of his blunders. It was his enemies who made the blunders. Despite this they proved, in the end, too strong for him. The God of War does not like cleverness. He likes the big battalions. And that is why Hitler lost World War II.'
-A.J.P. Taylor taken from the article 'Hitler as Strategist'.
[Benito Mussolini]
'We must suffer if we are to achieve redemption. Millions of Italians today and tomorrow must see and feel in their bones the meaning of defeat and dishonor. They must know what it means to lose one's independence, to become the slaves rather than the masters of their political fate, to be completely disarmed and powerless to resist. We must drink this bitter cup to the dregs. Only after we have touched bottom can we hope to rise again. Only intolerance of their humiliation will endow Italians with the strength to rise above it.
-Benito Mussolini, 'My Rise and Fall' (pg.133).
'Is there anyone left to look after the cemeteries where our brothers are sleeping? Who is watching over the truly holy ground of Hill 731? The mountains where once battle raged, when in a storm of fire and steel men fought against men, are now wrapped in deep silence. But the 400,000 Italian soldiers who fought in Albania still cherish these places in their hearts. Let us set out again on our way, with our eyes on the road before us.
-Benito Mussolini, 'My Rise and Fall' (pg.133).
'We had all heard of them shooting their prisoners or herding them into burning buildings, but these men were kind, chivalrous and even comforting.'
-British Lieutenant-Colonel John Frost, referring to his experience with the SS when he was captured by them during WW2.
[Rudolf Hess]
'It is a sad world, full of suffering lurking in the background, always ready to drop on us suddenly, culminating in the 'immense solemnity of the hour of death.''
-Rudolf Hess, written in a 1951 letter to his son, Wolf Hess. Rudolf had already been imprisoned for a decade. Little did either of them know he would serve the next 36 years in the dungeons of the victorious Allies. 46 years in all, practically a lifetime, and for what? 'Crimes against peace' as he was charged in the Nuremberg show trials? Certainly not, for he was a man of peace if there ever was one. The British government mysteriously sealed the Hess file until 2017, maybe then we can know the truth.
[Hermann Göring]
'I'd rather die as a martyr than a traitor.'
-Hermann Göring.
'Nuremberg violated all principles of international law and equality. The Allies had no right to pass judgement on German nationals on German soil. It was only a case of the victors judging the vanquished... Don't you think the Allied bombing of Dresden and the American nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki , when Japan was already defeated, qualified under the Nuremberg definition of war crimes-'the wanton destruction of towns and villages'? There were a lot of examples like this... Nuremberg was a super-Versailles.'
-Wolf Hess, the son of Rudolf Hess.
'If the Nuremberg 'victor's law' was genuine law then Spandau would be filled with the politicians responsible for more than one hundred forty wars and forty million dead since the end of the Second World War. This double standard did not affect their conscience.'
-Wolf Hess, the son of Rudolf Hess, in 1970 talking about his father's inhumane and hypocritical imprisonment in the fortress prison Spandau.
'The truth cannot be permanently suppressed. I view the hectic attempts of the Allies with a certain irony, even though I know that this behavior finally robbed me of my father and let him become the victim of a murder conspiracy. With this murder, the Allies only took a further step toward esposing themselves. The murder will be traced back to them and will, with an even greater certainty, shatter them more than the imprisonment of my father has already done.'
-Wolf Hess, the son of Rudolf Hess, speaking out after the murder of his ninety-three year old father in Allied Spandau prison.
'The American efforts have failed. They wanted history to know that every German was a Nazi and that every Nazi was bad so that the Germans collectively felt guilty. That was ridiculous and we now know it. The title 'war criminal' for my father means nothing. In some years history will take a different perspective on these so-called crimes and my father will be seen in a proper and good way. It will be seen that the former Allies, the victors of World War II, are anything but the host of morality, justice, and humanity, as which they made themselves judges over Germany. It's changing already. You cannot hide the truth forever.'
-Wolf Hess, the son of Rudolf Hess.
[Edith Starr Miller and her two eldest children]
'Today, most of the good people are afraid to be good. They strive to be broadminded and tolerant! It is fashionable to be tolerant-but mostly tolerant of evil...'
-Edith Starr Miller, under her pen name of Lady Queenborough, from the book 'Occult Theocrasy', ©1933, reprinted for 'private circulaton only' in 1968.
'If one of us becomes tired,
The others are awake for him.
If one of us wants to doubt,
The others who believe laugh.
If one of us is to fall,
The others stand for two,
Because each fighter is a God,
The comrades together.'
-A German song quoted in the book 'Lucifer's Court', by Otto Rahn. ©1937
'Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry.'
-Thomas Jefferson
'If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of
servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us
in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick
the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may
posterity forget that you were our countrymen.'
-Samuel Adams (1722-1803) from a speech delivered at the
State House in Philadelphia on August 1, 1776.
'To choose a good book, look in an inquisitor's prohibited list.'
-John Aikin (1747-1822)
'Not being known doesn't stop the truth from being true.'
-Richard David Bach
'We painted Hitler as a monster, a devil. And that's why we
could not move away from that portrayal after the war. We had mobilized
the masses against the devil incarnate. And so we were forced to
continue in this satanic scenario after the war. We could not possibly
have explained to our people that the war had actually been only a
preventative economic measure.'
-James Addison Baker, Secretary of State of the United States, as quoted in the German magazine Der Spiegel, issue 13, 1992.
'There is only one time when it is essential to
awaken. That time is now.'
-Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama)(c. 563 - c. 483 BC), Indian prince,
founder of Buddhism
'Germany is becoming too strong. We must crush her...'
-British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (1874-1965), speaking to American General Robert E. Wood, in November 1936.
'Germany's unforgivable crime before the second
world war was her attempt to extricate her economic power from the
world's trading system and to create her own exchange mechanism which
would deny world finance its opportunity to profit.'
-British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (1874-1965), speaking to Lord Robert Boothby.
'You must understand that this war is not against
Hitler or National Socialism, but against the strength of the German
people, which is to be smashed once and for all, regardless of whether
it is in the hands of Hitler or a Jesuit priest.'
-British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (1874-1965), from the book by Emrys Hughes, 'Winston
Churchill - His Career in War and Peace.'
'The war was not only waged to defeat fascism
in Germany, but to conquer the German export market. We could
have, if we had wanted, prevented war in 1935, without firing a shot, but
we did not wish to do so.'
-British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (1874-1965), March 5, 1946, speaking at a small college in Fulton, Missouri.
'Hitler and the German people didn't want this war. We didn´t answer Hitler´s various petitions for peace. Now we have to admit that he was right. Instead of a cooperation with Germany, which he had offered us, now stands the gigantic, imperialistic might of the Soviets. I feel ashamed to see how the same intentions which we accused Hitler of now are pursued under a different name.'
-Sir Hartley Shawcross, British chief-accuser in Nuremberg, March 16, 1984
'Liberty
is meaningless where the right to utter one's thoughts and opinions has
ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down.'
-Frederick Douglass (1818-1895)
'What thrust us into war were not Hitler's political
teachings: the cause, this time, was his successful attempt to establish
a new economy. The causes of the war were: envy, greed, and fear.'
-British General and Historian John Frederick Charles Fuller (1878-1966)
'If you have Right on your side, and
patience, your time will come.'
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
'Whenever one agrees with the majority it's time to stop
and think.'
-Mark Twain (1835-1910
'Do not fear the enemy, for
your enemy can only take your life. It is far better that you fear the
media, for they will steal your Honor.'
-Mark Twain (1835-1910)
'After our front was pierced on the river Vistula, we were rushed to the Schwedt area and established a bridgehead there. What is there to say? We had some heavy battles around Konigsberg-Neumark. When the Russians attacked [on February 9, 1945], we were able to bust up several T-34 tanks, but at a great cost of many dead and wounded paratroopers. We destroyed seven tanks in the first assault. The attack continued, this time the Russians had tied to their tanks women from the area.'
-Unterscharfuhrer Erhart Knofel, a veteran medic, describing a tale of utter evil and darkness, perpetrated by the 'good guys', the victorious 'Allies'...
'...Hess had his birds. Every day, twice a day, birds awaited Hess in the garden. Crows, pidgeons and song birds flew in waiting for the old man, with his paper bag full of crumbs from the kitchen, to make his solitary walks in the morning and afternoon.'
-From the book 'Talking to Rudolf Hess' by Desmond Zwar
'Despite the fearsome odds, few German units disintegrated and most fought on to the bitter end. The formidable discipline and professionalism of the German army was never demonstrated more clearly than in the dying moments of the Nazi regime.'
-From the book 'World War II - Day by Day' by Chris Bishop & Chris McNab
[Adolf Hitler]
'...there are two things which can unite men: common ideals and common criminality.'
-Adolf Hitler, from a speech given in Munich on August 1, 1923
'The prisons to which our comrades are being sent will be places of honor for German youth.'
-Adolf Hitler, before the Munich court, during his trial where General Ludendorff and he were tried for attempting to seize power in Munich on November 8, 1923
'For, gentlemen, it is not you who pronounce judgement upon us, it is the eternal Court of History which will make its pronouncement upon the charge which is brought against us. The judgement that you will pass, that I know. But that court will judge us... who as Germans have wished the best for their people and their Fatherland, who wished to fight and die. You may declare us guilty a thousand times, but the Goddess who presides over the Eternal Court of History will, with a smile, tear in pieces the charge of the Public Prosecuter and the judgement of the court: For she declares us guiltless.'
-Adolf Hitler, before the Munich court, during his trial where General Ludendorff and he were tried for attempting to seize power in Munich on November 8, 1923
'The basis which formed the foundation for our rise and growth in the past is valid also for the future. The following principle must be recognized: always only a part of the people will be composed of really active fighters... From them more is demanded than from the millions of their countrymen. For them the mere profession 'I believe' is not enough: their vow must be 'I fight.''
-Adolf Hitler, from a speech given on September 10, 1934
'For in the early days it was dangerous to become a National Socialist, and for this reason we gained the best fighters.'
-Adolf Hitler, from a speech given on September 10, 1934
'We see in bolshevism more now than before the incarnation of human destructive forces. We do not blame the Russian people as such for this gruesome ideology of destruction. We know it is a small Jewish intellectual group which led a great nation into this position of madness.'
-Adolf Hitler, from a speech given in Berlin at the Reichstag on February 20, 1938
'I think it would not only be useful work to prevent the international dropping of poison, incendiary, and explosive bombs upon populations but above all to abolish the selling of newspapers which have a worse effect upon populations than bombs could ever have.'
-Adolf Hitler, from a speech given in Berlin at the Reichstag on February 20, 1938
'As a National Socialist and as a German soldier I enter upon this struggle with a stout heart. My whole life has been nothing but one long struggle for my people, for its restoration, and for Germany. There was only one watchword for that struggle: Faith in this people. One word I have never learned: that is, surrender.'
-Adolf Hitler, from a speech given in Berlin at the Reichstag on September 1, 1938
'...these democracies which are overflowing with phrases about peace are the most bloodthirsty instigators of war.'
-Adolf Hitler, from a speech given in Berlin on September 26, 1938
'There is still another fact they [Britain] must observe. The Duce and I are neither Jews nor opportunists. When we two shake hands, it is with the firm grasp of men of honor.'
-Adolf Hitler, from a speech given in Berlin at the Sportpalast on January 30, 1941
[Speaking of Italy] 'Their ideals and objectives are the same as ours: The world is not here for a few people, and an order based eternally on the distinction between the haves and the have-nots does not exist any more because the have-nots have determined to lay claim their portion of God's earth.'
-Adolf Hitler, from a speech given in Berlin at the Zeughaus on March 16, 1941

[Hermann Göring]
'I see a black future from Germany and the whole world.'
-Reich Marshal Hermann Göring, in an impromptu interview with the Allied press shortly after the war after being asked the question: 'What future do you expect for Germany?'
'What will count in the long run in determining Adolf Hitler's stature is not whether he lost or won the war but whether it was he or his adversaries who were on the side of the Life Force, whether it was he or they who served the cause of Truth and human progress. We only have to look around us today to know it was not they.'
- Dr. William L. Pierce, from the article 'Adolf Hitler — The Measure of Greatness'
[Hermann Göring]
'We are unable to express our gratitude in words, my Fuhrer. Nor are we able to find the words to demonstrate our loyalty and affection for you. All the gratitude, love, and passionate faith in you, my Fuhrer, shines upon you today from a hundred thousand eyes. An entire Volk, an entire nation, is strong and happy today because these people have found in you more than a Fuhrer; they have also found a savior.'
-Hermann Göring, who was Reichstag President, at the German Reichstag in Nuremberg, on September 15, 1935
'I have never seen a happier people than the Germans. Hitler is one of the greatest men I have ever met.'
- Lloyd George, British premier during World War I, after a visit to Germany in 1936, was quoted in the Daily Telegraph of 22nd September of that year
'It would be a sin to lose what we fought for and gained, by so much work and so many worries... and by so many sacrifices and privations. We cannot give up what makes life worth living. It is worthwhile because ours is a great mission. The mission was not given to us by a worldly superior, but by God who created our nation!'
- Adolf Hitler
'No matter what we create today or what we do tomorrow, we will pass away. But, in you Germany will live. And when nothing remains of us, then you hold in your fist the flag we tore from nothing! I know this cannot be otherwise because you are flesh from our flesh and blood. The same spirit that dominates and burns in your young minds. As our government sweeps through Germany today, then I know you will join with them. And we know around us is Germany, in us Germany marches, and behind us Germany follows!'
- Adolf Hitler in speech to youth
'How could they consider harming their Führer? Adolf Hitler was placed on earth by a higher power, perhaps Wotan himself, to fulfill a sacred mission.'
-Jurgen Stroop, commenting on the cowardly bomb plot on Adolf Hitler's life.
[Heinrich Himmler with his daughter Gudrin]
'Can any man be loyal, who is disloyal to himself? Can any man be great, who is consumed with a longing to return to dust? Can any man be strong, who loves weakness? Can any man be proud, who wanders along in humility? Can any man be pure, who regards himself born
in sin? ... What a strange god you Christians have, who created you upright, but who commands you to crawl to him on your knees! '
-Heinrich Himmler, from his book 'The Voice of Our Ancestors
'German racialism meant re-discovering the creative values of their own race, re-discovering their culture. It was a search for excellence, a noble ideal. National Socialist racialism was not against the other races, it was for its own race. It aimed at defending and improving its race, and wished that all other races did the same for themselves. That was demonstrated when the Waffen SS enlarged its ranks to include 60,000 Islamic SS. The Waffen SS respected their way of life, their customs, and their religious beliefs. Each Islamic SS battalion had an imam, each company had a mullah. It was our common wish that their qualities found their highest expression. This was our racialism. I was present when each of my Islamic comrades received a personal gift from Hitler during the new year. It was a pendant with a small Koran. Hitler was honoring them with this small symbolic gift. He was honoring them with what was the most important aspect of their lives and their history. National Socialist racialism was loyal to the German race and totally respected all other races.'
-Leon Degrelle - Epic: The Story of the Waffen SS (Lecture given in 1982). Reprinted in The Journal of Historical Review, vol. 3, no. 4, pp. 441-468
'I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out
in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor,
every atom of me in magnificent glow,
than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.'
-Jack London
'Whenever I hear the word 'democracy' I know that a blood bath is coming.'
-Klemens von Metternich
'In this palace-
the earth-
pigs shit in
golden bathrooms
and the deaths
of fools
are followed by
motorcades
six blocks long.'
-Charles Bukowski, from the poem 'the film makers'
