How the world became massively stupid, led by the United Nation's agency, the World Health Organization, yet today, dictating we all be injected with stuff, they had the Provincial, State, have the Medical Licensing Colleges control their membership to close a blind eye to injected mandated toxins. A true example of State and a private entrepreneur working hand in hand, we all be injected with stuff. The were joined by employee unions, and religions of all sorts. To quote how fascism works:
How did Germany become the moronic inferno that it is today? I believe that what we see happening is the result of precisely “the strong exertion of external power” that Bonhoeffer described in 1943.
This power is being exerted by CORPORATIST interests—that is, the sort of “public-private partnerships” championed by the World Economic Forum. Italian political theorists during the 1920s characterized this binding of state and corporate interests— to enhance the power of both—as “fascism,” which derives from the Latin word fasces (”to bundle or bind”). The medical word “fascia” derives from the same Latin root.
Former U.K. chief justice Hailsham - on liberties:
The only freedom which counts is the freedom to do what some other people think to be wrong. There is no point in demanding freedom to do that which all will applaud. All the so-called liberties or rights are things which have to be asserted against others who claim that if such things are to be allowed their own rights are infringed or their own liberties threatened. This is always true, even when we speak of the freedom to worship, of the right of free speech or association, or of public assembly. If we are to allow freedoms at all there will constantly be complaints that either the liberty itself or the way in which it is exercised is being abused, and, if it is a genuine freedom, these complaints will often be justified. There is no way of having a free society in which there is not abuse. Abuse is the very hallmark of liberty.
A bit inflammatory calling it abuse, but, there you go, I'm objecting to the abuse of the word “abuse”! Perhaps Hailsham had that in mind. Though in context he's calling attention to the abuse of liberties, not of people. People may be offended; liberties may be abused. But who's to say whether complaints of abuse of liberties are “justified”?
“being hated by idiots is the price one pays for not being one.”
From a brief bio in Britannica on Jean Cocteau... "His family was of the solid Parisian bourgeoisie—cultivated, wealthy, and interested in music, painting, and literature."
I didn't think he grew up in a family of idiot laborers. Revealing.

a link for your translation of Bonhoeffer’s 1943 essay?

If there was ever an essay for our time, Bonhoeffer’s is it. Thank you.
I especially liked the contrast between internal freedom versus the external force of authority.

Second half, Ritter states that the German power structure is infested with Nazis, real live ones - direct descendants of the Reich.

".....those who have retained their ability to think independently can do little to fight the moronic inferno."
What turns that tide?
Dropping out of the WHO, is a good start.
Thanks, John. I appreciate the update on Germany that we don't read in today's posts, newspapers, media, etc.
I see them as the ancient enemy of the people who founded and settled this country. We may be in mortal conflict again soon, as they are rising.
