<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>it's almost like DE has selected a topic where he believes there is an absolute lock on 'inconclusiveness'...then he invites any and all to dare and disagree with his inconclusiveness.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>It's fascinating how people don't get upset with someone for making a statement outright as if it were solid, proven historical fact (Hitler = Rothschild) but then if someone comes along and actually has a look at the evidence this bothers him. It's really this dynamic that is the most important one to understand.<br><br>For those who don't know, Rothbardian some time back made a similar...in fact far more sweeping assertion: that Marx was paid by "the Illuminati" to "create socialism." And that Marx was a known occultist.<br><br>This, like the Hitler = Rothschild connection (well, there are two sorts of Rothschild theories. The testimony of Thyssen is simply that according to this Austrian dossier, Hitler was sired illegitimately by a Rothschild...that's as far as it went. The second sort goes further and assumes, without evidence, that the Rothschilds then controlled Hitler or that he did what he did on their behalf.), would be rather significant in historical terms. <br><br>And given that lots of good people are socialists and lots of good people are Jewish, I think it is not unreasonable for people to be asked to back up such assertions with some reasonable level of evidence. <br><br>It it were some new line of speculation, that would be one thing, but Rothschild = Hitler is all over the internet in all its shabbily supported glory. <br><br>But Roth, ole boy, if you'd rather believe wrong things than read posts attempting to discern the facts in the matter, I'll try to put some warning on future such posts.<br><br>Now, I happen to think that many movements in history were made of brave men and women working together trying desperately to improve their circumstances. And just about every such movement has always been labeled by the forces of reaction as having actually been created by some evil outsider. IN modern times it was communists. Earlier it was others. Always, it was Jews. I think of a Eustace Mullens article in which he talks about how the slaves were happy till the Rockefellers came and wrecked the whole deal. <br><br>I'm not equating anyone with Mullens...he's a distinct breed of rightwing asshole, but the point is that this is insulting, racist...AND inaccurate. <br><br>Inaccurate.<br><br>Doesn't inaccuracy in terms of major assertions bother people around here? <br><br>And the reason it gets me a little riled up is that these particular inaccuracies...or, as I like to call them, "lies", have been put to some ver y evil use. <br><br>Let's examine the whole way this thread started (by the way, Roth, I started this thread to allow the discussion of MK Ultra to go back on topic). Dugoboy, in the middle of an important analysis of MKUltra, puts out this stuff about how Hitler was the bastard son (he didn't get the story quite right) of a Rothschild. Well, I guess maybe Dugoboy is young and I was too hard on him ...but Omega Man posts a fairly lenghty post that gives all the "details" of this. <br><br>What can we conclude? The only thing I can conclude is that they both thought that somehow this was relevant to the MKUltra discussion. Why would Hitler's parentage be relevant to the MKUltra discussion? Well, the use I have seen this story put to over and over again is to suggest that the Rothschilds were actually somehow behind Hitler. He was part of their all important "bloodline"...a word Omega Man used in his post. <br><br>This loaded term "bloodline" suggest an awful lot more than just "oh, what a funny little historical fluke. Hitler was so psycho he hated Jews even though he had Jewish grandparents." It is language that goes right to Icke and others who posit millenia long conspiracies of an underground Satanic elite that involve several families (13, says Springmeier) but the pinnacle of which is the Rothschilds. <br><br>Now, since I always end up in this role, I know people will think I dismiss the idea of old elite conspiracies. I don't. In fact, if you think about it, the idea of representative government is very knew in human history. Most of human history has been about OVERT rule by elites, and within that elite rule there were surely secret plots and counterplots as well. Most of human history, then, has taken place under forms of government that were based on bloodlines and very tiny elite groups ruling over the vast majority of people. <br><br>As I have said repeatedly, my interest is not in debunking the general idea of this, but in making some attempt to GET IT RIGHT.<br><br>So, back to the beginning of this whole discussion. The MKUltra discussion is extremely important. But when the idea of Rothschild is introduced in the middle of an MKUltra thread, this is important to deal with for several reasons, most important of which being: it leads us in a wrong direction. The Reich and its subsequent incorporation into the US military/industrial/intelligence complex is a very important thing to understand. Suggesting, even by implication, that the Reich was somehow a Rothschild plan completely misdirects from the truth.<br><br>I was too hard on Dugoboy, I think, and I'm sorry. But Omega Man seems like one of the more intelligent posters here. He understands full well what I'm talking about.<br><br>Let me add one further thing as an aside. It's about Hugh Manatee Wins. Hugh I get REALLY frustrated with you about your discussion of the uses of the mass media, primarily because YOU ARE RIGHT. I've had this discussion off board with others. I KNOW you are right...I sense it, I feel it. But damn it, I can't PROVE it. <br><br>I don't mean you are right every time you say this or that movie is a deliberate psyop or whatever. In fact, I often, like Pan, think you overreach. <br><br>But I get frustrated because you simply assert that this or that movie is a deliberately created bit of sophisticated propaganda for this or that purpose but never bother to prove it. <br><br>The whole reason for such propaganda is to shape the cultural space of the country. AS such, and if it works, then this means for every succesful such "meme" introduced deliberately, there will be many, many such repetitions of such memes to take advantage of the popularity of such themes. <br><br>Ah..I'm not saying this well. If the various elites can shape our cultural space effectively, then imitations of these will surely follow, with the only motivation being money. In addition, themes based on veiled or not so veiled racism, say, often need no help whatsoever getting into the media. making Arab bad guys these days is like making Russian bad guys a while back. Some of that is likely pushed from above, but mostly it's a result of wanting to make an unoriginal but profitable movie by pushing people's emotional buttons.<br><br>But I wanted to go on the record about Hugh. The lines along which he is thinking I really do believe are correct. The papers from Donovan in Data Dump show how sophisticated this stuff was 70 years ago (go read those, everyone, to understand one possibility about why the Rothschild story got started in the first place.) <br><br>But I don't claim to know which movies and books are a result of deliberate manipulation and which are merely people writing within the cultural space as shaped by deliberate manipulation. And on top of that we have further, "corporate" propaganda that needs no direct instructions from a secret elite. Our major corporations do quite well under our current system, and it is no surprise they would promote themes and images that would support that system. No secret meetings at Dulce needed.<br><br>But I do think we are being played in many, many ways. I'd love to see more attempts by Hugh to show actual connections that prove his point...and not simply point at a theme and interpret through this lens. It may not be possible to find this evidence...but I think there might be more evidence than we realize.<br><br>So back to the point...I think much of the Rothschild/Hitler thing is part of this..it was a deliberate tool of statecraft whether first started in Austria or in the US. It took on a life of its own, and now has us looking the wrong direction. Again. <br><br> <p></p><i></i>
