Dr.
Jacques Pauwels is not the kind of historian you often hear about in
the mainstream media. He’s obviously not the kind of “expert” they refer
to for historical facts. Actually, one crucial propaganda method
consists in excluding current events from their historical context.
Listening
to Pauwels makes one realize the scope of the lies we’ve been fed about
the Second World War, fascism and democracy, and how myths related to
previous wars need to be upheld in the mainstream discourse to satisfy
never ending war propaganda needs.
In
a speech held December 15 in Montreal, he explained that World Wars I
and II were all about crushing mass revolutionary movements.
The myth of the Good War
Every
time Westerners’ approval for war is required, the myth of the good war
surfaces: the Second World War was a good war, a necessity to quench
Hitler’s blood thirst. Pauwels tears this myth apart, uncovering the
vicious nature of the western elite.
The
reasons for the US involvement in World War II lie in the
social-economic conditions of the time, not in an outpouring of
compassion destined to save humanity from fascism. The US elite was
actually in favor of fascism, a very convenient tool to crush the mass
revolutionary movement embodied by the Russian Revolution and the USSR.
WWII
was in fact a continuity of WWI. “We are always told that WWI started
with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, but it’s not true”,
Pauwels says. It is indeed a well established myth carried on by various
sources, whether history is written by “thousands of eminent experts, scholars, and leaders” like in Encyclopedia Britannica, or by just about anybody, like in Wikipedia:
The outbreak of war
With
Serbia already much aggrandized by the two Balkan Wars (1912–13, 1913),
Serbian nationalists turned their attention back to the idea of
“liberating” the South Slavs of Austria-Hungary. Colonel Dragutin
Dimitrijević, head of Serbia’s military intelligence, was also, under
the alias “Apis,” head of the secret society Union or Death, pledged to
the pursuit of this pan-Serbian ambition. Believing that the Serbs’
cause would be served by the death of the Austrian archduke Francis
Ferdinand, heir presumptive to the Austrian emperor Francis Joseph, and
learning that the Archduke was about to visit Bosnia on a tour of
military inspection, Apis plotted his assassination. (World War I, Encyclopedia Britannica)
The
immediate trigger for war was the 28 June 1914 assassination of
Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir to the throne of
Austria-Hungary, by Yugoslav nationalist Gavrilo Princip in Sarajevo.
This set off a diplomatic crisis when Austria-Hungary delivered an
ultimatum to the Kingdom of Serbia,[10][11] and international alliances
formed over the previous decades were invoked. Within weeks, the major
powers were at war and the conflict soon spread around the world. (World War I, Wikipedia)
Both
WWI and WWII had two dimensions: the vertical dimension, namely the
rivalry between empires, and the horizontal one, class warfare, Pauwels
explains.
These
wars were actually the best way for the western elite to cope with the
ever growing revolutionary and democratic movements fueled by dire
economic conditions and which threatened the established order.
In
Nietzsche’s view for example, Pauwels says “war was the solution
against revolution, since in a war, there are no discussions, like there
is in a democracy. In a war, the minority, the elite, decides and the
majority, the proletarians, obey.”
For
members of the elite like Malthus, “the system could not be the cause
of poverty since they were profiting from it. The cause of poverty was
the poor: there were too many of them. Therefore the solution to poverty
and threatening revolutionary movements was simply to eliminate poor
people and what better solution than war to kill poor people?”
After
WWI though, “revolution was no longer a simple idea but rather
something concrete: the Soviet Union.” That’s when fascism came to the
rescue. “Fascism was the instrument used by the elite to further the
objectives of 1914, namely put an end to revolutions and communism.”
Communism
and socialism were gaining worldwide momentum after WWI. “The German
industrial and financial elite wished to crush the revolutionary
movement and destroy the Soviet Union. Adolf Hitler was their
instrument.”
According
to popular belief Western leaders were defending democracy, engaged in a
war against Germany to save humanity from fascism and the US
involvement in the war led to the downfall of Hitler’s war machine.
Nothing is further from the truth. “Hitler was supported by other
European countries and the US because they wanted him to destroy the
USSR, the cradle of the revolution.” The exact opposite occurred: it was
the USSR that defeated Nazi Germany, losing over 20 million souls in
the battle.
The
US even recruited the best Nazi scientists, technicians and engineers
to work for them after the war. That piece of history called Operation Paperclip (picture below) has yet to find its way in Encyclopedia Britannica.
WWII
was the victory of American Imperialism, a term which is rarely used
today even if it best describes the reality the world has been living in
ever since.
But
even more surprising is the surviving myth that we are going to war to
save the world from evil dictators or terrorists and that the western
world fights for freedom and democracy. Thanks to the “stenographers of
power”, the tactic is still reliable and used several decades later.
