Entry: The German Disease Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_german_disease#3587 Post contents: The myth of Churchill as the great statesman who saved Western civilization is secure. We would all be better off, no doubt, to recognize the man for what he was, a war criminal. It is obvious to even the most casual observer that when they are off to war every Western politician in the English speaking world without exception claims to be Churchillian. The lot of them seem trapped in a time warp of 1938. The Churchillian virus was first caught by Thatcher and has now infected Bush and his poodle Blair. The advisary is of course always the same, a new Hitler. First it was Slobodan, then came Saddam, and now we have Amadinijad. Who was this Churchill that has earned such adulation in the West and why are contemporary politicians striving to become his clone? Here is what he had to say about Germany during one of his few sober moments. "I don't care if Germany is ruled by a Hitler or a Jesuit priest she must be destroyed." This statesman initiated the RAF policy of carpet bombing civilian targets for the sake of terror which culminated in the destruction of Dresden. A holocaust in the true sense of the word. One can even find Churchill's mark on the original Morgenthau Plan signed in Quebec City in 1943. A crackpot plan of genocide and crime against humanity, if ever there was one, dreamed up by Harry Dexter White, a Soviet agent, initialed by non other than the greatest hero of the 20th century. His appologists will most likely claim FDR and the Jews made him do it. There is of course a grain of truth to that. So there we have it. This icon of the West wasn't interested in regime change in Germany, saving the Jews, Western Europe, let alone Western civilization. No his primary interest was the destruction of a cultured nation in the heart of Europe. Bear in mind that it was England and France that declared war on Germany in 1939 over the Danzig affair not the other way around. And what was the cost? England lost its thousand year empire. Europe its independence when the GIs and the Red hordes fell into each other's arms at the Elbe not to mention Eastern Europe's ensalvement for the next 40 years. That is Churchill's legacy. Of course Churchill the war criminal and his willing executioners were conspicuously absent in the defendants' dock of the IMT in 1945-46. The greatest of all statesman was busy writing memoirs polishing up his image. There is nothing like gold plating horse turds and then selling it as jewelry to the unsuspecting customers. In the meantime the customers, that is, Western intellectuals still claim the Allies saved Western civilization from German barbarism. And what is this Western civilization that we hold so dear? Is it rock music, drugs, sex and violence of the mass media culture, not to forget same sex marriage and other forms of perverted sexual proclivities? Come to think of it life under Uncle Adolf was a good deal healthier. First thing he did was clean out the sex shops in Berlin. Sent at: 2008 05 16
