My mother was 18 when she was transported by freight train from her village in Hungary to Auschwitz.  Her mother and younger sister Katika, 13, did not survive.  Gabriella, my cousin, was “lost”.  She was 2 when stripped from her mother’s arms by Nazi guards and never seen again.

In 1944 the Germans had  orchestrated  a coup, and the controlling values of their small unenthusiastic ally Hungary went from those still rooted in Christendom to something quite different.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme, as Mark Twain noted. 

It would, of course, be a gross exaggeration to make any parallels between what happened there and what is happening here, but there are two superficial similarities

‘); googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1609270365559-0’); }); document.write(”); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.pubads().addEventListener(‘slotRenderEnded’, function(event) { if (event.slot.getSlotElementId() == “div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3035”) { googletag.display(“div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3035”); } }); }); }

De facto, we’ve had a coup in America.  Granted, it merely refortified the establishment, but it was a coup. And de jure, Christianity in America is no longer a significant force.

The onset of the latter can be firmly marked: June 25, 1962.  On that date the  Supreme Court , ruling school prayer unconstitutional, set in motion the expungement of  Christianity from America.  

Like dominoes falling, society follows law.  Divorced from Judeo-Christian norms, a large portion of the population, within 3 generations, would be remolded into a manipulated mass by a functionally atheist elite.   

America’s elite portrays itself as progressive, but their underlying ethos can’t be rooted in Marx.  Marx isn’t merely hypocrisy but a cover, a cloak.  From their actions, redistribution of their wealth and a classless society where they have no more power and influence than the common man is the last thing they want.  

Their motives, attitudes and values are explained best by Nietzsche.  Perhaps one in ten Americans are familiar with the name; his thinking, though, describes and runs through those who run us.   Nietzsche is the unifying theory that explains what’s happened to the Western world – formerly known as Christendom – a word and world now extinct.  His values were dominant in the pre-WWI German elite, leading to a war that effectively ended European dominance. Soldiers at the front received copies of his work.

Bertrand Russell put a relatively benign face on the Germans’ political agenda.   “He wants an international ruling race who are to be lords of the earth, a vast new elite in which their rule will be stamped upon for thousands of years.”
