May these commerical spammers share time in Hades with von Brunn and fellow Nazis.

Mourners Remember Slain Museum Guard

FORT WASHINGTON, Md. (AP)—Family, friends and colleagues on Friday remembered a guard who was gunned down at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum last week as the victim of an evil and barbaric act that contrasted starkly with his love for life.

Police and security guards, dozens of museum employees and U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar were among hundreds of people who attended a funeral for 39-year-old Stephen T. Johns at Ebenezer AME Church in Fort Washington, not far from Washington, D.C.

They remembered Johns, who lived in nearby Temple Hills, as a ‘’gentle giant,’’ a sometimes shy man who was a great listener, loved to travel and had a passionate zeal for life. Johns had an 11-year-old son and last month celebrated his first anniversary with his second wife.

‘’Stephen was not only a big guy in a uniform,’’ the Rev. John McCoy said. ‘’He was a man with a big heart.’’

His kindness was particularly evident, McCoy said, when Johns carried out his final act. Authorities say Johns opened the museum door for 88-year-old James von Brunn, who then pointed his gun at Johns’ heart and shot him last Wednesday. Von Brunn, a white supremacist and Holocaust denier, faces murder charges in the killing of Johns, who was black.

Even if Johns had survived the shooting and lived for a hundred years, the minister said, his act of kindness in the face of evil would have remained his ‘’finest hour.’’

Shortly before the funeral, mourners filed past Johns’ body in a large wooden casket topped with an enormous bouquet of cream and blue roses. The casket was flanked on either side by a security guard from Wackenhut Services Inc., the contractor Johns worked for during his six years as a security guard at the museum. Several families members sobbed loudly as they walked past to pay their final respects.

Among the flower arrangements at the church were several in burgundy and gold, the colors of Johns’ beloved Washington Redskins.

‘’Stephen, our Stephen, is yet another victim of an evil, ... insane mentality that was thought to be rapidly diminishing from the American landscape,’’ McCoy said. ‘’There’s an element in this country that still desires for the Holocaust to continue.’’

In a rousing eulogy that was interrupted frequently by applause, McCoy called on mourners to honor Johns by refusing to remain silent in the face of racism. He said although the mourners could not bring Johns back, they could spare others from such tragedy by leaving the church determined to do everything in their power to end prejudice.

‘’Though he is silenced, we can’t afford to allow love, justice and righteousness to be silenced,’’ McCoy said.

During the nearly two-hour funeral, written statements from U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., D.C. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty, D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier and the D.C. Council were read, saluting Johns for his service.

Afterward, Johns’ co-worker, Paul Nichols, said the funeral was a moving and fitting tribute to the man.

‘’He was the only one who would come in every day with a smile,’’ Nichols said. ‘’He was a great man and will be dearly missed.’’

Von Brunn remains hospitalized after being hit in the face by guards who returned fire. The FBI has said he is likely to survive. A hearing is set for Monday for an update on his condition. No date has been set for von Brunn’s initial court appearance.

This spam thing is getting ridiculous.

Is there even a moderator whatsoever.

More extractions from “Religion and the Origins of the Death Camps:  A Psychoanalytic Interpretation” by Professor Richard L. Rubenstein in the 1992 edition of his book “After Auschwitz”. 

Hitler as Charismatic Leader and the German Moral Universe

In Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego, Sigmund Freud offered a prophetic analysis of the way individuals surrender their judgment and moral responsibility to an all-powerful leader in the process of group formation.

Put differently, Freud set forth a psychoanalytic interpretation of the relationship between the charismatic leader and his followers. 

According to Freud, people permit themselves cruelties and immoralities as members of cohesive groups which they would not otherwise permit themselves.

Freud maintained that under the influence of an emotionally powerful leader the behavior of group members is characterized by intensification of affect and diminution of intellectual functioning as well as identification with and absolute submission to the will of the leader (Fuhrer). 

Writing shortly before Hitler was to compose the murky pages of Mein Kampf in Landsberg Prison, Freud suggested that unquestioning loyalty to the leader and identification of the individual’s moral standards with the leader’s will are indispensable features of such group behavior....

After the Nazis took power, all German officials were compelled to take an oath of allegiance to the person of Adolph Hitler rather than to the constitution.

Every German was thereby bound by the closest of psychological ties to the Fuhrer. 

The ties were reinforced every time two Germans greeted each other with Heil Hitler!

Hitler acquired the God-like ability to determine right and wrong simply on the basis of his anarchic, archaic, and totally destructive will. 

The Germans were bound to Hitler by primal libidinous ties as members of a psychically, if not racially, homogeneous community.

When Hitler took upon himself ultimate responsibility for the actions of those bound to him by solemn personal oath, he completed the transformation of the German moral system.

Right and wrong were no longer defined by obedience to or rebellion against the will of the biblical God; they were defined solely in terms of obedience to or rebellion against the will of the Fuhrer.

Even the most casual remark of Hitler at the table could and did become the basis of a nonnegotiable Fuhrer-Befehl, an order of the Leader.

The theological significance of taking an unconditional oath of loyalty to Adolf Hitler was clearly understood by by Karl Barth in 1934.  Knowing that refusal would cost him his position at the University of Bonn, he declined to heed the advice of his illustrious colleague, Rudolf Bultmann, that he take the oath....

[Nazis] later explained that they could not bring themselves to violate the oath of allegiance they had pledged to [Hitler].  Honor had reduced itself to absolute fealty to the most dishonorable leader history has ever known.... 

The burdensome pain of the inevitable loneliness and alienation of modern pluralistic society was at an end....

No absolute monarch ever bound his people to himself more completely or with stronger emotionalties than did Adolph Hitler.  Henceforth, there would be only one real crime:  disobedience to the will of the Fuhrer.  It is not surprising that the system could not outlive its leader....

While Judeo-Christian submission was normally life enhancing, the new German submission became an instrument of mass murder and, ultimately, of national self-destruction....

[T]he need to find a magic enemy of omnipotent proportions to blame for the terrible happenings.  Always strangers, the Jews now became enemies in German eyes. 

Once a consensus to form a Volk community was achieved, there was no longer a viable place for the Jews in German life.  If nothing else, their international connections, their involuntary cosmopolitanism, and the never-to-be-forgotten fact that Jewish emancipation had first been brought to Germany by Napoleon’s foreign armies, all made Jewish participation in German life utterly untenable....

In the end, Germany required more of the Jews than expulsion or assimilation. 

An allegedly omnipotent enemy was needed to provide the raw material for what was to become history’s greatest ritual murder.

German popular culture had long ago designated the villain-enemy-victim. 

As we have seen, the myth of the Jew as Christ-killer, from which were derived the secondary myths of the Jew as Antichrist, Devil’s spawn, Satan, sorcerer, magician, cannibal, and murderer, pointed to the existence of a demonic power equal to the task of sapping Germany’s strength, of secretly causing her defeat (in World War I), and of gloating in the triumph of the victors (of World War I)....

Just as the “demonic” Jews of the Middle Ages supposedly brought about the Black Death by their midnight arts and had allegedly sacrificed innocent Christian children in order to drink their blood at Passover, so they were now regarded as a prime cause of the Fatherland’s defeat.  Not the open power of the known enemy but the hidden power of the satanic magic enemy had brought about the “stab in the back.” Again the Judas myth.

I thought that my posting of 6/30/2009 at 2:06 PM EDT would generate some interesting discussions.

‘Roots’ film takes a very personal journey

By Mark Hinson
TALLAHASSEE DEMOCRAT SENIOR WRITER

Maybe Thomas Wolfe was wrong — maybe you can go home again.

In 2006, indie filmmaker Dan Jacobson accompanied his 82-year-old grandfather Steven Metzler on a pilgrimage to Romania. Metzler had not been back to his dinky hometown of Deda Bistra in more than 60 years. He was just a boy when he and a brother were rounded up and packed off to the infamous death camp Auschwitz. The rest of his Romanian-Jewish family perished under the Nazi regime.

What kind of reception will be waiting for Metzler in his homeland? Will the locals remember what really happened during the war years? Or will they conveniently lose all memory of the Holocaust and pretend not to know Metzler?

Find out when The Tallahassee Film Society presents Jacobson’s travelogue “Looking for Roots, Finding Flowers” this weekend at the All Saints Cinema. The documentary is being shown as part of the Jewish Film Series.

“Looking for Roots, Finding Flowers” is really a glorified home movie. The budget is minimal. The approach is highly personal. It rambles in parts. But it’s the stories you hear along the way that make “Looking for Roots” so harrowing and hard to shake.

Metzler recounts how, when he first arrived at Auschwitz, he asked a fellow prisoner if there was any way to escape the camp. The prisoner pointed to the chimney over the crematory that was billowing smoke and red ash before saying: “Through the chimney.”

In Romania, Metzler talks to a Ukrainian woman who was in Odessa when the Germans went on a killing spree during the war. She tells bone-chilling stories about massacres involving burning children alive in a house and hanging so many Jews from telegraph lines that their feet nearly touched the ground from the weight.

“They didn’t kill us all,” Metzler points out.

And that’s a very good point indeed.

A pilgrimage to Romania is documented in “Looking for Roots, Finding Flowers.” (Special to the Democrat)

Excellent film—highly recommended by me.

The man Adolf Hitler has gotten more credit than he deserves for any of the events of the WWII era.
His name has come to be synonymous with evil.  But was he indeed the most evil genius, or was he just the front man?  Let look at this guy.

Bormann Ran Hitler for the Illuminati

The second most powerful man in Nazi Germany, Martin Bormann, was a “Soviet” (i.e. Illuminati) agent who ensured the destruction of both Germany and European Jewry.

Thus, he advanced two of the Illuminati’s main goals: integrate Germany into a world government by annihilating its national, cultural and racial pretensions, and establish Israel as the Masonic banker’s world capital by threatening European Jews with extermination.

The Illuminati are a loose alliance of Jewish finance and the British/America/European aristocracy joined by marriage, money and belief in the occult (Freemasonry). Winston Churchill, a Freemason whose mother was Jewish, fits this description.

They own vast interlocking cartels (banking, oil, pharmaceuticals, war, chemicals, minerals, media etc.) and control society and government through corporate and professional groups, the media, education, secret societies, think tanks, foundations and intelligence agencies. Their goal is “to absorb the world’s wealth” (in Cecil Rhodes’ words) and control its citizens using propaganda, “education” and social engineering.

Nations (Britain, US, Israel) movements (Zionism, Socialism, Nazism, Communism) and people (Americans, Germans, Jews) are their pawns to be sacrificed to their demented megalomaniac scheme for global dictatorship. Bormann’s career illustrates how they orchestrate wars to advance this long-term objective.

Martin Bormann (1900-?) was the organizer, treasurer and paymaster of the Nazi Party and controlled its powerful machine. He was the contact with Illuminati bankers and industrialists who financed the Nazi Party and donated millions to Hitler. As Deputy Fuhrer and Hitler’s Secretary, Bormann signed Hitler’s paycheck and managed his accounts. He determined whom and what Hitler saw, and acted in his name.

Goering said “Bormann stayed with Hitler day and night and gradually brought him so much under his will that he ruled Hitler’s whole existence.” ("Martin Bormann” by James McGovern, p.160)
Hitler made Bormann the Executor of his will. Bormann, not Hitler, owned the Berghof. “The entire complex on the Obersalzberg, consisting of 87 buildings and worth over one and a half million marks, was legally registered in Bormann’s name. (McGovern, p.128)

An anti-Semite, Bormann also signed the documents that led to Jews in Germany being deported to the death camps set up by the Nazis in Poland. On October 9th, 1942, he signed a decree that stated that “the permanent elimination of the Jews from the territories of Greater Germany can no longer be carried out by emigration but by the use of ruthless force in the special camps of the East.” On July 1st, 1943, Bormann signed a decree which gave Adolf Eichmann total power over the ‘Jewish Problem’.

Have you ever seen Hitler’s paintings?

The serene landscapes and the delicate florals are inconsistent with his reputation.
Makes you wonder if he was really so evil or as I suggested, just a front man.

Does any of this rhetoric of hate sound familiar?

From Michael Newton’s book The Invisible Empire:  The Ku Klux Klan in Florida, page 196-197:

Chapter 6:  Retrenchment and Resistance (1966-1999):

New Moralistic Crusades

As a quasireligious order dedicated to America’s salvation from sin, the KKK cast about for modern issues and fastened upon the “right to life” crusade, organized in response to the USSC’s ruling in Roe v. Wade. 

As always, there was a a racial slant to the Klan’s moralistic argument. 

From California, Klansman and skinhead recruiter Tom Metzger declared:

“Almost all abortion doctors are Jews.  Abortion makes money for Jews.  Almost all abortion nurses are lesbians.  Abortion gives thrills to lesbians....  Jews must be punished for this holocaust and murder of white children along with their perverted lesbian nurses.”

Across the continent, Glenn Miller’s Confederate Knights of the KKK agreed, proclaiming in a printed statement:  “More than ten million white babies have been murdered through Jewish-engineered legalized abortion since 1973 here in America and more than one million per year are being slaughtered this way.... The Klan understands that this is just one of many tools used to destroy the white race and we know who it is.”

In 1985 Miller’s Klan (A.K.A. the White Patriot Party) pioneered the use of “Wanted” posters to target specific abortion providers, displaying photographs of various physicians together with their home addresses and telephone numbers, announcing that selected individuals had been “tried, convicted, and sentenced to death.”

Florida was the first state to experience a wave of terrorism against women’s clinics:  between 1982 and 1984, authorities recorded five fire bombings, two arson attacks, and three drive-by shooting directed at clinics in Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, and Pensacola.

The Templar Knights of the KKK staged a rally supporting assassin Paul Hill, sentenced to die for the murder of a clinic physician and his bodyguard in July 1994....

In 1994 Grand Dragon John Baumgardner announced a demonstration outside Melbourne’s clinic to protect the “misuse” of federal marshals, but the nine Klansmen who appeared on August 20th were led by J. D. Adler of Port St. Lucie, a self-proclaimed leader of a new splinter faction, the United Klan of Florida (UKF). 

Asked if he would protest abortions procured by black women, Adler replied:  “We couldn’t care in the least.  I can’t feign concern for someone I don’t care about.”

In addition to robed clinic vigils, the UKF maintained a “hot line” with recorded messages describing abortion as “racial suicide” assisted by “killers of white babies,” while murder of abortionists was termed “justifiable homicide.”

The KKK announced another clinic protest for February 25, 1995, this one in Miami, but pro-choice demonstrators found no knights to jeer at when they turned out with their picket signs. 

Even after violence had begun to fade away, Baumgardner’s newsletter ran a poem lauding a warrior of “Yahweh” who kills an abortionist, then blows up the U.S. Supreme Court with a truck bomb. 

Note by the poster, Paul D. Harvill:  “Yahweh” is the likely Hebrew pronunciation for YHWH, the sacred name for the Hebrew - Jewish God.  Isn’t that bizarre?  As well as the rest of the above.

From Michael Newton’s book The Invisible Empire:  The Ku Klux Klan in Florida, page 206:

Chapter 6:  Retrenchment and Resistance (1966-1999):

Despite various difficulties organizationally, like David Duke’s defection from the Klan in 1980 had a limited effect on the Florida realm, already spilt by Duke’s rift with Jack Gregory the previous year....

Despite such difficulties, the KKK was not without its victories.  An Orlando Klansman surprised the state GOP by winning election to Orange County’s Republican Executive Committee....

At least five hundred of the Invisible Empire were found in Florida, where they paid dues to United Klans, representing Bob Shelton’s second-largest realm (after his native Alabama).... 

Bill Wilkinson’s Invisible Empire Knights was expanding.  He claimed twenty-one Florida klaverns by the mid-1980s.

One of the group’s recruiting tools was a Pensacola “hate line,” its recorded message telling callers:  “Listen, Whitey, the Jews have taken over America and you are too damned ignorant to see it. 

“They are pouring out your tax money to the nig.gers, and you are too damn brainwashed to know it. 

“The Jews are pouring out pro-nig.ger, pro-Jew poison to you over the Jew-owned TV, and you are so damned stupid that you swallow it. 

“The Christ-killing Jew has seized the reins of government and passed laws to imprison you if your raise your hand against the nig.ger, and you don’t have the brains to do a damn thing about it.... 

“He has filled your schools with stink’ nig.gers, and you have taken it lying down. 

“You are now reaping your reward...you no longer have what it takes to hunt down the white-hating instigators who are destroying you.”

Yeah, that Metzger guy is off his rocker.
The KKK has lost its direction.
As I read their history, it seems that they started out with a Just reason but then soon went way off course.

Yeah, that Metzger guy is off his rocker.
The KKK has lost its direction.
As I read their history, it seems that they started out with a Just reason but then soon went way off course.

The KKK from day one with the choice of Nathan Bedford Forrest as the first grand wizard demonstrates that from day one the KKK was primarily an organization committed to the oppression and suppression of African-Americans, and shortly thereafter others who were (and are) not white, native born and Protestant.

Remember Bill Hendrix?

Below is a consolidation from various postings regarding the man.

Michael Newton’s book The Invisible Empire:  The Ku Klux Klan in Florida cites him at least seventeen times.  He is much more infamous than I had ever considered before.

Here are some examples of his own damning words and actions.  And words we see so much of on these Forums too - although at times more “sophisticated” in their presentation:

Clinging precariously to a facade of moderation, Hendrix told one audience, “I don’t advocate violence, but some people just plain need hangin,’” thereafter reciting a list of names that included Governor Collins, Mayor Burns, and various civil rights activists. 

The National States Rights Party, organized in early 1958 as an avowed white racist political party, openly cooperated with the KKK.  Founded by a collection of anti-Semites that included Jesse Stoner, American Nazi party leader George Lincoln Rockwell, and veterans of the defunct Columbians, the NSRP borrowed its uniforms, the SS lightning-flash insignia, and the Thunderbolt title of its newspaper from Atlanta’s erstwhile “juvenile delinquents of the Klan.”

Bill Hendrix was among the featured speakers at the party’s August 1958 convention in Louisville, Kentucky, and he was a member of the four-man delegation that greeted [Fredrick] John Kasper upon his release from the federal lockup in Tallahassee.

Fredrick John Kasper was the founder and chief agitator for the Seaboard White Citizens’ Council.  A New Jersey native obsessed with anti-Semitism and the poetry of Ezra Pound, Kasper hit the road in 1956, touring southern trouble spots in an effort to stiffen white resistance; he scored his greatest triumph in the September riots that stunned tiny Clinton, Tennessee.  While awaiting trial in federal counts from that campaign, he found his way to Florida, where he was welcomed as a speaker at KKK rallies (though he apparently never joined the hooded order).  The end came for Kasper in March 1957, shortly after he addressed a Klan crowd in Chiefland, urging the knights to help him spread his “segregation gospel” against the “radical-minded and Jewish-and-Communist-controlled Supreme Court.” Subpoenaed by the Florida state legislature, he grudgingly admitted dating black women while he lived in New York City.  There were photographs to prove it, and despite Kasper’s plea that he “felt all along that the Jewish race should be segregated,” a majority of southern Klansmen turned against him overnight, unmoved by his subsequent conviction and imprisonment for contempt of court in Tennessee. [This paragraph is from page 152.]

The Many Klans of Bill Hendrix (subheading)

Uncowed by Governor Warren’s threat to unmask the Invisible Empire by legislation, its knights opted for a show of force on January 27, 1949, staging a nocturnal motorcade through downtown Tallahassee.

Observers counted forty-three cars in the procession, with the lead vehicle sporting an electrified cross and two flags (one each for the United States and the KKK).

Six drivers were arrested for improper license tags, four of them visitors from Georgia.

Bright and early the next morning, Governor Warren announced his intent to push legislation banning the KKK “and any other terrorist organization” in Florida.  “The hooded hoodlums and sheeted jerks who paraded the streets of Tallahassee last night made a disgusting and alarming spectacle,” Warren told reporters. 

“These covered cowards who call themselves Klansmen quite obviously have set out to terrorize minority groups in Florida, as they have in a near-by state.”

The Tallahassee parade was, in fact, a coming-out party for the Southern Knights of the KKK.  Organized that month with an estimated two hundred members [only 58 numbers from J. L. Maxwell’s May 1, 1950 list cited earlier from the Tallahassee KKK documents that initiated this entire thread].

The fledgling Klan was led by thirty-nine year old William Hendrix, a local plumbing contractor.

However:

My own research through Tallahassee City Directories reveal something more:

Beginning with the 1948-1949 volume onward until the last city directory entry from 1961, William R. Hendrix is listed as a clerk with the United States Post Office.

The 1417 Chowkeebin Nene residential address for Bill Hendrix begins about 1953 or 1954. 

Later I’ll back before the 1948-1949 edition to ascertain how long he resided and was active in Tallahassee.
