No Typos Like Last Time; or, America’s Heavy Petting with Fascism (Part 2 of 2)
WHERE WERE WE? LET ME FIND MY NOTES. OH, THIS AGAIN. I THOUGHT THE FASCISM QUESTION WAS SETTLED IN 1945 WHEN HITLER AIRHOLED HIMSELF, BUT I GUESS NOT. *SIGH*
PART 2: OPERATION PAPERCLIP: From 1946 onward, the United States rescued and recruited some 1600 “former” Nazis (200 of them rocket scientists) into the military and scientific infrastructure of the United States. Their expertise was quickly put to use fighting the communists in the space race, as well as the rush to achieve the largest phallic rocket capable of destroying the most people.
The Nazis knew a fair amount when it came to fighting the USSR, having broken a treaty in 1941 and invaded them in “Operation Barbarossa”. Much as with Napoleon, it didn’t work out so well. Had the entirety of World War II been limited to this “Eastern Front,” it alone would have been the most violent and atrocity-filled war in human history.
To recruit the Nazis scientists, the Joint Intelligence Operatives Agency sent their best. Morally flexible with a steel heart, no man could break him.
TOP PAPERCLIPPERS:
WERNER VON BRAUN, is one of the rare historical figures who would be publicly celebrated for his achievements no matter which side won World War 2. The charming visionary and O.G. Rocket Man was once awarded the highly prestigious National Medal of Science, but the history books and museums tend to downplay his historical role a bit. Possibly because he was a registered Nazi and headed up the V2 rocketry program, which killed at least 2,724 people in the United Kingdom, as well as over 20,000 Jewish slave laborers.
After the war, he was the US’s top recruitment priority for rocketry, playing a key role in getting mankind to the moon and for designing the IRBM; predecessor to the Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile that we all know and love. The V2 rocket was ALSO central to the plot of the Thomas Pynchon novel, Gravity’s Rainbow, which you will never finish, no matter how long it collects dust in your living room.
KLAUS BARBIE, the “Butcher of Lyon” was a monster of the Gestapo who fought the French Resistance mainly by murdering innocent French people. Aside from the thousands he killed during the normal course of his job, some of his most infamous individual acts include shutting down a Jewish orphanage and sending its 44 children to Auschwitz, as well flaying a French Resistance leader alive before drowning him in ammonia. After the war, he fled to Bolivia where US intelligence allegedly used him as an advisor to fight communist guerilla forces. Barbie himself would later brag that he was responsible for the capture and execution of Che Guevara. The French eventually got him back and he died in a Lyon prison in 1991. At the end, he claimed that he was righteous and innocent in the eyes of God. Whatever God he was talking about, I don’t want to meet it.
DOCTOR MERKWURDIGLIEBE, the infamous Nazi scientist who was knowledgable in matters of mining, nuclear physics, and animal husbandry.
“Animals can be bred,” the Doctor said of post-doomsday bunkers, “and slaughtered.”
STILL, IT’S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER that even the original fascists were a bunch of intellectual frauds and social outcasts looking for revenge against the world and themseves. The “Blood and Soil” rallying cry of Nazi Germany (and today’s Americans) originated from Third Reich S.S. chief Heinrich Himmler, the architect of the occultist, neo-pagan aspects of Nazi philosophy. “Blood and Soil” alluded to the Nazi belief that they were tied to the land and thus its rightful natural inhabitants, unlike the “Rootless Cosmopolitan” (Jews) who drifted from place to place- merely because national leaders liked to borrow money and then expel them when it was time to repay the loan. (SEE: Edward I of England).
In truth, the concept of being bound to “soil” and “the earth” was just Himmler incorporating his knowledge as an agronomist, which his father forced him to study in college in case he couldn’t make a living out of his weird quest to find the “perfect aryan male”.
SAFETY SCHOOL! SAFETY SCHOOL!
THE MAIN THING YOU SHOULD REMEMBER IS THAT FASCISM CALCIFIES the injustices of an existing, capitalist social order. Sure, some arbitrarily chosen group of undesirables will be cast down in order to keep the rabble happy and maintain the illusion of populism. But it’s really all about sustaining an oligarchy. Unlike so many other -ocracies, it need not be revolutionary. Hitler and Mussolini were democratically before they veered their countries in the direction they wanted them to go. The public will along with it. Whether you’re a billionaire perched at the top of the 1%, or an angry white man sitting in a parked car and screaming into a smartphone about illegals and Knock-Out Game thugs.
SOMETIMES it’s not enough to be Woke Online, writing masturbatory online posts which, although deeply insightful and read by a vast audience, are not as useful as going out there and marching, volunteering, voting, and generally scaring the shit out of those who would rather see you dead than lose a fraction of a cent in their annual profits.
YOU MAY HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE AND JOIN A MARCH.
