Appeasement




















Merriam-Webster defines appeasement as:

PACIFY, CONCILIATE; especially : to buy off (an aggressor) by concessions usually at the sacrifice of principles.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself."

What was once the dominant American attitude has now been drowned by a streak of timidity which grows stronger day by day - it has become clear that once again the United States faces an existential threat from fascism.

No - not from so-called "Islamofascists" but from a home grown variety of fascism, a threat composed of Zionists and Christofascists who have allied themselves in an effort to usurp our government and destroy the American way of life.

Appeasement did not end with the German invasion of Poland in 1939. Even afterward, many in the U.S. opposed active resistance. Members of the Bush crime family continued supporting the evil of Hitler with money and the raw materials of war, fascists among the American Legion and the American Bund sought to bring Nazism to America - and the communists opposed fighting Stalin's ally until Hitler invaded Russia.

In January 1942, when German armies were at the gates of Moscow, George Orwell wrote that "the greater part of the very young intelligentsia are anti-war ... don't believe in any 'defense of democracy,' are inclined to prefer Germany to Britain, and don't feel the horror of Fascism that we who are somewhat older feel."

When applied to the embodiment of pure evil there are echoes of Orwell's words in the attitude and words of many modern-day intellectuals such as Tony Blankley, their support for the insane foreign policy of George W. Bush is the moral equivalent of Neville Chamberlains appeasement of Adolph Hitler.

These so called intellectuals refuse to recognize who the real "terrorists" are, they seek to deceive the American public by the careless use of words which carry emotional or value judgments - make no mistake, we are at war, but to not recognize who the true enemy is a recipe for defeat.

Pundits from William Kristol to Charles Krauthammer join in Blankley's moral relativism by suggesting that the United States is better than its enemies through the actions it has taken to prevent terrorism. Just as 1940s pacifists could see no difference between Nazi concentration camps and American wartime curtailments of civil liberties, so today's doppelgangers equate the mass murder carried out by the Nazis to attacks by religious fanatics, - all the while overlooking the war crimes perpetuated by the United States and Israel.

The problem is that the stated demands of the Bush cabal are a pretext for their maniacal ambitions. Bush is unappeasable - to continue supporting the madman in the White House only whets his insatiable appetite for destruction, just as giving up the Sudetenland encouraged Hitler to seek more.

Orwell's words, written in October 1941, ring true today: "The notion that you can somehow defeat violence by submitting to it is simply a flight from fact. As I have said, it is only possible to people who have money and guns between themselves and reality."

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
-- Thomas Jefferson.
