Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: THIS WORLD IS RULED BY PSYCHOPATHS AND SADISTS (4) - S. KADIRI

Nazi is an abbreviation from German phonetic spelling of the first two syllables of Nationalsozialist. The English translation would be National Socialist. For me National Socialist = Nationalsozialist = Nazi because adherents thrive on racism for the benefit of their own nationals. The uncomfortable truth Professor Harrow is having problem to accept is that all colonialists are Nazis since they all declare the colonised peoples as inferior and therefore eligible to be enslaved or exterminated for the benefit of the colonialists' own racial group of people. That view cannot be twisted to imply that "German Nazis were no more than the other Europeans who had no right to try them?" However, the interrogation, "So the Holocaust was another typical European crime?" should be answered affirmatively in view of the historical facts that made Europeans to become Americans, Australians and New Zealanders etc, after the aborigines had either been wiped out or reduced to absolute minorities.

Hello Brother Ken, 

"expert in genocide" puts me in the camp of the perpetrators where I don't want to be๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ. Sure, I do have some modest "research expertise in genocide studies".  I have saved Kadiri's post to read later and will read his subsequent installments. 

Regarding the necessity of the Nuremberg Trials, and the "right" to prosecute or not to prosecute, I would encourage you and Brother Kadiri to watch the recently-released (January 2023) National Geographic documentary "Nazis at Nuremberg: The Lost Testimony." I am one of the scholar-analysts featured in the documentary. It is based on Nazi and Allied records that had never been used in any film on World War II, the Holocaust, and the Nuremberg Trials.

So, the logic here is so awful i can't begin to imagine wanting to construct an argument against it. I hope prof edward kissi, who is expert in genocide, might have thoughts to share

So the nazis were no worse than the other Europeans who had to right to try them? So the Holocaust was just another typical European crime? How could anyone possibly swallow this?

Having ended part III with reference to the trial of the German Nazis, I will begin part IV with few details about how the trial began and ended in order to show how the foundation of the world in which we live today was laid after the end of World War II.

In fact, those on trial in Nuremberg, Germany, on November 20, 1945, were German National Socialists (NAZIS) whose intention was to improve the standard of living of the Germans through racism, a crime that was not limited to Germany of that time but which was very common in all the countries of Europe and the United States of America. However, the victorious powers decided to hammer nails on the coffin of racists with the Nuremberg trials of the German (National Socialists) racists. Thus, just before 10 o'clock in the morning of November 20, 1945, Herman Goering, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Rudolf Hess, Wilhelm Keitel, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Alfred Rosenberg, Wilhelm Frick, Alfred Jodel, Franz von Papen and twelve other high ranking German racists were marched into the court room in Nuremberg for trial with the exception of Martin Bormann who was tried in absentia.

The four-power judges were in the Nuremberg trial were: I. T. Nikitchenko and A. F. Volchkov (Soviet Union); Lord Justice Norman Birkett and Lord Geoffrey Lawrence (Great Britain); Francis Biddle and John J. Parker (USA); and Donndieu de Vabres and Robert Falco (France).
The four-power Chief Prosecutors were: Roman Rudenko (Soviet Union); Robert Jackson, a Supreme Court Member (USA); Sir Hartley Shawcross, Attorney General of Great Britain; and  Francois de Menthon, member of the French Government, who was replaced in January 1946 by Auguste Champetier de Ribes.

In his opening address of the trial, the President of the Tribunal, Lord Justice Geoffrey Lawrence partly said, "The trial which is now about to begin is unique in the history of jurisprudence of the world and it is of supreme importance to millions of people over the globe." The British Prosecutor, Sir Hartley Shawcross declared, "This trial shall contain an authoritative and impartial record to which future historians may turn for the truth and future politicians for warning." The French Chief Prosecutor, Auguste Champetier de Ribes stated in his opening address thus, "After the submission of our documents, hearing of the witnesses, projection of films which the defendants themselves cannot see without shuddering with horror, nobody in the world can possibly claim that the examination camps, the executed prisoners, the slaughtered peoples, the mounds of corpses, the human herds maimed in body and soul, the instrument of torture, the gas chambers and crematories existed only in the imagination of anti-German propagandists." In his own opening address, the United States Chief Prosecutor, Robert Jackson said, ''The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating that civilisation cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive being repeated."

The trial almost collapsed at the start as the defendants drew historical analogies to prove that the Nazi-Germany racial war was not unique. They pointed out that USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand became Whiteman's countries due to unprovoked racial wars of conquest against the original owners of those territories who were either entirely exterminated or reduced to minorities. They argued that the Nazi labour camps were not different from the American plantations where the wealth of white Americans were derived from the muscles of millions of African slaves that toiled in the plantations. One of the defendants and a Nazi racial ideologist, Dr Alfred Rosenberg deluged the Tribunal Judges with excerpts from books of American, British and French racists. He quoted studiously from 'The Decline of the Great Race' authored by the American racist, Madison Grant. Many racial laws enacted in the USA and from which the German racial laws derived its origin were cited. With those arguments, the German racist defenders questioned the legitimacy of the tribunal to try them for crimes which were not unique in international politics and which comparatively, according to them, were less brutal. 

What the accused at Nuremberg were claiming was that German national socialists' (Nazis) resort to war to claim colonies was not different from the British, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Belgian, and Netherland's national socialists (Nazis) that led to the settling of their nationals in foreign lands after the original inhabitants had been expelled or annihilated. In other cases the aborigines were subjugated and subjected to direct rule by peoples from European countries. Starting from 1576, the British national socialist (Nazi), Sir Humphrey Gilbert, published his Discourse to prove a passage by the North West to Cathaia and the East Indies, in which he set out the advantages of establishing colonial settlements (to be INHABITED BY DISPOSSESSED PROLETARIANS AND EX-CONVICTS FROM BRITAIN). He wrote, "We might inhabit part of those countries, and settle there such needy people of our country (Britain) which now trouble our commonwealth, through want (poverty) here at home (in Britain) are forced to commit outrageous offences (crimes), whereby they are daily consumed with the gallows (p.71, Crisis of Britain and the British Empire)." In fact, the first acquisition of colonial territory by Britain was the annexation of the Bahamas by Sir Humphrey Gilbert himself, in 1578. But, earlier in 1562, the first slave-trading expedition led by the English National Socialist (Nazi), John Hawkins, had ravaged Sierra Leone and sailed away with a cargo of African slaves. In 1585, the British National Socialist (Nazi), Sir Walter Raleigh, established the first colony in Virginia, America, whereby Britain began to sentence to deportation to America any of their citizens at home that was induced to steal in what was then sympathetically called crime of poverty.

Since European National Socialist settlers claim racial superiority to justify the expulsion or extermination of peoples in foreign territories whose land and cattle were stolen, the German National Socialists did not consider their racial war for the purpose of getting colonies as crime. One of the Judges from the Soviet Union, I.T. Nikitchenko, agreed that although the crimes of the defendants were not unique in history, the German Nazis would be tried as a statutory example so that politics based on racism would thenceforth become a heinous crime punishable under international law. The Nuremberg trial of the German racist ended on September 30, 1946, after 250 days and 403 sessions. The minutes of the trial filled 16,000 pages. The prosecution presented 2,630 documents and 116 witnesses were cross-examined. That unprecedented trial swallowed five million sheets of paper, weighing 200 metric tons. A total of 27,000 metres of sound films and 7,000 photo plates were used. On October 1, 1946, at 14:50:00 hours, judgments were pronounced on the German racists on trial, whereby 12 of the accused racists, including the runaway Matin Borman, were sentenced to death; seven were sentenced to life imprisonment; and three were acquitted. German Nazis racial war against humanity is the only crime in history that is not statute-barred as they are still being tried today wherever they are caught, even at very old age. Did racism end with the trial and conviction of the German Nazis?

Since colonialism by nature presupposes the racial superiority of the colonialists to the colonised and the former's claim to natural right to exploit the latter personally along with their resources, the trials of the German Nazis did not end racism in the world because colonialism continued and the struggle for the control of the colonies between the US and the countries of Western Europe began to take form already in 1946. In the British House of Commons, the Labour Party Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ernest Bevin, declared on February 21, 1946, "I am not prepared to sacrifice the British Empire (British Colonies) because I know that if the British Empire fell .... it would mean the standard of life of our constituents (in Britain) would fall considerably." In the American Magazine, Life, early in 1947, its publisher, Henry Luce, wrote an article with an accompanying map titled, "American World Empire." According to the map, the areas which should come under the influence of the 'American Empire' were: The North Pole; Canada; South America; Mexico; Norway; Sweden; Belgium and Holland;  Germany; France; Italy; Spain; England; Africa; the Near East; the Middle East; India; China; Indonesia; Australia; New Zealand; and the South Pole. That was followed by the publication in 1947 of a book by a USA advocate of American expansion, James Burnham, titled, The Struggle for the World. Therein on page 188, he set out the programme for "an American Empire which will be, if not literally worldwide in formal boundaries, capable of exercising decisive world control. Nothing less than this can be the positive or offensive phase of a rational United States policy." Stressing that The American Empire could only be established by force, James Burnham wrote on p. 193-195 thus, "It must be granted that the United States cannot within the allotted time win the leadership of a viable world political order merely by appeals to rational conviction. Power must be there, with the known readiness to use it, whether in the indirect form of paralysing economic sanctions, or in the direct explosion of bombs. As the ultimate reserve in the power series there would be monopoly control of atomic weapons (culled from p 129, Crisis of Britain and British Empire by Palme Dutt)." While Winston Churchill was urging the US to use the atomic weapon to quell the Soviet Communism, President Harry S. Truman, proclaimed in the spring of 1947 the right of the United States to intervene in any country in the world to ensure the maintenance of governments approved by it. Western Europe and their oversea colonies must first be made US protectorates, he seemed to say.

In her bid to take the lion share of the world resources and give leopard's shares to the Western European colonialists, who had been militarily weakened at the end of World War II, the then US Foreign Minister, George Catlett Marshall, proposed in June 1947 what he called European Recovery Programme, later known as Marshall Plan. Under the programme which was executed between 1947 and 1951, the US granted loans and gifts of thirteen billion dollars ($13 billion) to 17 countries in Western Europe. Most of the gifts and loans from the US were given to Great Britain, France, West Germany and Italy. Sweden that was not directly involved in the war received 107 million dollars ($107 million) partly as a credit and partly as payments for goods delivered to other European countries undergoing repairs and reconstructions after the war. Noteworthy, European possessors of colonies, especially, Britain and France were beneficiaries of Marshall Plan as well as Germany and Italy that initiated World War II because they wanted colonies. In that same 1947, Britain was forced to grant political independence to India while retaining economic independence controlled by the US. Japan had shown that Europeans could be defeated in war and the whole of Asian was in tumult against colonialism after World War II.  (To be continued)

USA Africa Dialogue Series - Gambia: The Fatwa on Female Genitalia

 

USA Africa Dialogue Series - Ramadan, March 18


Reflections

Compilation: Anonymous

 

i. The world is a stage, and the role we play is time-bound. We all play our part and depart from the stage.

 

 

ii. Nothing is permanent, not even the post of a Permanent Secretary! Things we consider as alluring or beautiful, including personal appearances, or position of power, or wealth and riches, etc, all is vanity, and they vanish into the thin air, hardly remembered! The vainglory all translate to "a morsel of porridge". That's how insignificant they are!

 

 

iii. So why lose your humanity, and Eternity with your Maker, to the bargain, over just a "morsel of porridge"?

 

 

iv. Therefore, it is foolishness of the highest degree to miss Heaven which is eternal pursuing inane materials that are not permanent! 

 

v. Don't be desperate for, or over, anything no matter how highly valued. Don't put your trust in man, no matter how highly placed. Be diligent and uncompromising with evil, maintain a filial relationship with Allah.
