600 The Secret History of the World
There was no single moment in time when the German people - as a whole -
suddenly “became evil”. The Germans - the people susceptible to Adolf Hitler -
were a people desperate for identity and economic prosperity. Germany was a
country torn apart by overwhelming economic, political and social blows: World
War I, the treaty of Versailles, hyperinflation and the Great Depression, were all
blows that ruined or diminished the admirable qualities of Germany as a whole.
These disasters left the way open for a truly horrifying ideology.
Hitler tapped into this desperation, whipping the people of Germany into a
religious, messianic fervor. Little by little, they were induced to close off their
consciences as the price that had to be paid for their dreams; they were induced by
clever fear tactics and propaganda to incrementally realign their collective
morality so that, in the end, the Face of Evil was the face of every supporter of
Hitler.
The story of the rise of Adolf Hitler is the single most important story of the
20th century. With this event, in less than a single lifetime, one of the most
civilized countries in Europe was reduced to moral, physical, and cultural ruin.
The rest of the world was nearly gobbled into this black hole of evil. This should
give everyone something to think about - and think about it long and hard.
At present, the model of what transpired in Germany can quite easily be seen by
many people as unfolding in the United States today. There were other ways that
the history of Germany could have unfolded in that time. There are other ways the
history of the United States can unfold.
Complicity does not mean that you have to support evil, it simply means that the
only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
In my work, I am not in the business of telling anyone what to do. The work, as
with Signs of the Times, stands as a lighthouse, a constant sweeping illumination
that goes around and around to shine light on the terror of the situation. The goal is
provide knowledge of the objective reality in which we live, a reality that appears
to be veering out of control. This brings us back to the issue of how does
Knowledge Protect?
We were recently approached by representatives of two different “consortiums
of power” of a global scale. Both of these groups asked about our interest in
becoming part of a “network” approach to current global issues that we all
understand well: that is, we are living in a powder keg and giving off sparks.
Now, as best we can understand it, these proposed networks have the stated goal
of “exposing the lies” of the U.S. administration with a view to waking Americans
up “politically”.
