Never forget, Hard Truth

I received this email today:

General Eisenhower Warned Us





It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.

He did this because he said in words to this effect:


'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses -because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened'

This week, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.


It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the,6 million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests



Who were 'murdered, raped, burned, starved, beat, experimented on and humiliated' while the German people looked the other way!

Now, more than ever, with Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.


This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people! Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world.

How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center ..

'NEVER HAPPENED'




My question to you, is how much do you REALLY care about genocide? Are you willing to tolerate it, or ignore it?

I would propose to you the following: If Hitler had stayed within the boundaries of Germany and Czechoslovakia, would the world have gone to war with him to stop him from the extermination of the people of God and his enemies? I would hazzard a guess that he'd have been "tolerated" just as the world tolerates every other dictator who committed genocide against his people; be it the Soviets (Ukraine), Turks (Armenians), or Darfur, Sudan, Rwanda, and all the other places which have been turned into living hell. No, Hitler would have eliminated the Jews from his country, and Chamberlain and the west would have given him Poland and who knows how much of Europe, had he not gotten impatient.

You don't think so? Search the history of the 30s, the 40s. Try and find a voice speaking out for the Jews of Germany in this country, advocating going to war to save them, even when we were at war. You will come up empty(1). the silence of Roesevelt is deafening. No, the international community speaks of rights, and offers pious plattitudes about "Never again" but the reality is, sanctity of borders is of far more importance than sanctity of life.

Oh, yes, there is one genocidal dictator that was taken out by military action; but for some reason, we've forgotten that and are now upset by the violation of that dicatators' borders! C'est la vie, c'est la mort;



What was that you said? "Never again?"



"Never again?"

"Never again?"

"Never again?"

Unless you mean it, never say never again, unless you are willing to back it up.
hypocrite. see if the name fits.

Here is Mexican actor Eduardo Verastegui speaking about the genocide of his people occuring with the USA.



Eduardo Verastegui continues with

"and my answer is the same that they give in schools about showing movies of the Nazi holocaust. Teachers don't show these videos in order to emotionally manipulate students. They snow them because the Nazi holocaust represents a terrible evil that words alond cannot describe. The holocaust of abortion is no different. We all instinctively know abortion is something evil and it is something so terrible that we can't even see it, shouldn't we perhaps not tolerate it either?

Yet, at this moment, Eduardo's video has been banned on YouTube, and his web site is unreachable. It would seem that we are destined to remain in darkness.



They who die today, will be there to convict us on judgment day.

From the Back Cover
"Here is a book with a thousand memories for those of us who came of political age while living through urban riots, the Vietnam War, and the Nixon years. Norman Solomon, one of America's most respected progressive voices, gets personal in this account of living through the age of Vietnam, Nixon, tie-dye T shirts, girlfriends, and even the music that will forever waft through the minds of those of us who were there. Those of us who, like journalist Solomon, will never forget it." ***Phil Donahue



America declared war on God and wonders why there is no peace. well, duh.
The usual apologetic; we didn't succeed because we didn't go far enought. I'd venture to say that if we didn't go "far enough" it's probably why we are all still breathing.
