Book on order, thanks for the recommendation. I can't deny that my heart sank somewhat at the thought of yet another blooming rabbit hole, so good to hear it's an interesting read, some are just hard work.
It is becoming clearer to me that Hitler and the Nazis were not only manufactured to achieve political aims before the war but also came in handy afterwards. Would that image of America Land of Freedom “beauteous on the hill” etc. be anything like as influential without the existence of some fiendish enemy – as demonic as possible? And the Nazis were always way more impressive than those distant (and frankly boring) Soviet apparatchiks.
Ever since WW2, Hitler and the Nazis have been endlessly referenced, the villains in any number of movies, with old Nazis popping up everywhere and new ones arriving every year. Best of all. The psychobabble initiated by The Frankfurt School is happy to blame the general population whose “psychological weakness” and “compulsion towards fascism” we never stop hearing about. All this whilst the Anglo-American clubs happily financed the Nazis and even had the cheek to rehabilitate them after the war.
Even though we now know who were responsible and who have benefited from it all -- nothing much has changed in the sense that the source of ''power and influence'' remains unaffected.
I had already watched The Agenda and shared it with a few friends and now, after reading your enlightening article, I have ordered McGregor and O'Dowd's book - thank you for the recommendation!
Yes, as you say, "...history is just one damned conspiracy after another" and that's exactly what I thought after seeing an email just now which stated: "Thirty years ago this week, Bosnian Serb troops entered the town of Srebrenica in eastern Bosnia. Western officials later claimed that the Bosnian Serb troops committed a massacre or even a genocide against thousands of Bosnian Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica. In reality, no such massacre or genocide took place — it was an atrocity propaganda psyop."
thanks for this post! I think I will order the book (my public library does not have it).
An irony about WWII that many have expressed is that if the US had not entered WWI, there may not have been a WWII, at least in Europe. Why? Because both sides were sick of WWI, they were ready to call it quits, and if they had, there would have been a reasonable armistice agreement with neither side suffering from it.
However, because the US entered WWI late in the game, it gave the Allies enough force to overwhelm the German lines, they sued for peace, but the "peace" they got was the ridiculous Treaty of Versailles which demanded draconian war reparations which broke the German economy and created horrible conditions in Germany which set the stage for a strong, dictatorial leader to come to power to fix the German economy which he did. But he went far beyond that, fueled by German resentment.
This book obviously goes much deeper than that analysis. I look forward to reading it.

But no! The victims get the blame!
Thanks, Rusere – order placed. And I'm yet to watch 'The Agenda', so cheers for the reminder to do so.

You're on target and you'll really enjoy the book!
Excellent documentary by Oracle Films.
“The Agenda-Their Vision/Your Future”.
So many of those that were interviewed I recognize:
Whitney Webb, Alex Newman, Catherine Austin-Fitts…….
Thank you!
