” … the deception that was Pearl Harbor, because I don’t think many people have ever been told or ever learned anything whatsoever about the truth of Pearl Harbor”
Revilo P. Oliver (“The Yellow Peril”):
“A few years ago I heard a university lecturer unctuously tell an unprotesting audience how ‘peacefully’ Japan had been ‘opened up to Christian civilization’ by Commodore Perry and his fleet of steam-powered warships in 1854. It is true that the Japanese, overawed by the cannon of Perry’s ten ‘peaceful’ warships, made some concessions, but Japan was not really ‘opened’ to foreign commerce until after a British fleet had bombarded the city of Kagoshima and reduced it to rubble, and another British fleet, with a few American, French, and Dutch vessels added to make it seem international, levelled Shimonoseki in 1864…. That finally convinced even the most reluctant Japanese of the charms of Western civilization, and thereafter they set out whole-heartedly to acquire its technological power.”
Revilo P. Oliver; “The Final Secret of Pearl Harbor” (Liberty Bell; July 1989):
“American aviators would be released from the Army, Navy, and Marine air corps to be hired as mercenaries through the Intercontinent Corporation, … which would hire them ‘under contract with the Chinese government’ …. Japan would thus be unable to prove that the Roosevelt government’s pretense of neutrality … was odious hypocrisy….
“The plan for the sneaking attack on Japan … [was one] that Roosevelt obviously had authorized no later than 15 April 1941, eight months before Pearl Harbor…. The bombers would use incendiary bombs to devastate Japanese cities and fry Japanese civilians….
“Only difficulty and delay in diverting weapons promised the British prevented the plan from being carried out on schedule and enabled Japan to get in the first blow….”
The Protocols (translated by George Shanks):
“We must be in a position to meet every opposition with a declaration of war on the part of the neighbouring country of that state which dares to stand in our way; but if such neighbours in their turn were to decide to unite in opposing us, we must respond by creating a universal war.”
Paul Craig Roberts (“The Demise of Western Law Dates from the Nuremberg Trials”):
“At Nuremberg the British, Americans, and Soviets, who had committed worse war crimes than the Germans, sat, immune from accountability, in judgment. ‘The winners write the histories’ and hold the trials….
“The Great Moral Western World thought this was appropriate punishment for a country that dared to retrieve its national borders from the Treaty of Versailles that had dismembered Germany despite guarantees by US President Wilson. The fact that WW II was started by Britain and France declaring war on Germany is left out of the story.”
Sir Hartley Shawcross (Nuremberg prosecutor); March 16, 1984 (Liberty Bell; March 1987; p. 55):
“Hitler and the German people did not want war! According to the principles of our policy of balance of power and incited by Americans around Roosevelt, we declared war on Germany in order to destroy it.
“We did not answer Hitler’s many appeals for peace. Now we must declare that Hitler was right.”
Basil H. Liddell Hart; The German Generals Talk:
“‘My armoured cars … cut across the British lines of retreat [at Dunkirk]…. But then came a more emphatic order that I was to withdraw…. My tanks were kept halted there for three days’ …
“‘[Hitler] then astonished us by speaking with admiration of the British Empire … [and saying that] he would even offer to support Britain with troops if she should be involved in any difficulties anywhere…. ‘”
Sheldon Richman; “Killing Noncombatants” (The Journal of Historical Review; Vol. 18, No. 1):
“[I]n March 1942 … the Bomber Command was placed under the direction of Sir Arthur ‘Bomber’ Harris, who inaugurated civilian bombing in the Middle East and India in the 1920s.”
F.J.P. Veale; Advance to Barbarism (1968); Chapter 6:
“Mr. Spaight is not content merely to admit that upon Britain rests the responsibility for starting the practice of bombing civilian populations, but insists that to Britain must be awarded the entire credit for conceiving and carrying into effect this practice…. Finally, he agrees that Hitler only undertook the bombing of the British civilian population reluctantly three months after the R.A.F. had commenced bombing the German civilian population….”
David Irving; “On Contemporary History and Historiography”:
“Winston Churchill … knocked on the glass partition and told the driver to stop, turn around, go back…. As he gets out at No. 10 Downing Street, he turns … and says: ‘We have had a message, the beams are on London tonight and it would not be right for me to leave my capital and the citizens of this metropolis to suffer the raid alone.’ In fact, the message that he had received told him that the raid was on Coventry and so it was safe to come back to London…. His private secretary John Colville writes that that evening he went up on to the roof of the Air Ministry to wait for the oncoming bombers: he wanted to see the raid begin. What a hypocrite.”
“The Italian Volunteer Legion of Camillo Ricchiardi [in the Second Boer War] carried out the capture of an armoured train near Chieveley, Natal. Among the passengers who were taken prisoner was the young journalist Winston Churchill, whose life Ricchiardi spared by pretending not to see him dumping his pistol and dum-dum ammunition which had been declared unlawful on pain of death.” (historyreviewed.com/?p=9236)
Report of British war correspondent, printed in London newspaper, Christmas Eve, 1944. (F.J.P. Veale; Advance to Barbarism (1968)):
“Aachen is the biggest German town in our hands. It is the most exhilarating sight I have seen for years. The town of some 170,000 inhabitants has not now a single habitable house left in it…. Ten thousand inhabitants are living like rats in cellars among the debris. One air raid alone caused 3,000 civilian deaths…. And it is good to think that what happened in Aachen happened, and goes on happening, in almost every German town.”
Dr. Peter Hammond (The Andrew Carrington Hitchcock Show; 2021-11-04):
“The last prime minister of Rhodesia, Ian Smith, … who fought all six years of the Second World War … , said to me, ‘On reflection, we were on the wrong side in the Second World War…. It would have been better if we had lost the war, or if we had not been involved in the war at all, or even better, if we had actually gone and helped in the Eastern front to defeat the Soviet Union, who was our real enemy.'”
Dr. Peter Peel (Liberty Bell; March 1987; p. 56):
“Not until we admit fully to ourselves and the world that the destruction of Germany was a monstrously wicked folly can there be a road back for us out of the sick and dying condition of our polluted and poisoned present.”
Liberty Bell; September 1988; p. 20:
“Even the enemy of Japan, Stimson, later conceded that neither of the two atom bombs would have had to be dropped in order to attain peace. This refutes the assertion, which is still often believed today, that the atom bomb saved American army divisions.”
Revilo P. Oliver; “The Price of the Head” (Liberty Bell; Sep. 1981):
“At Harvard, [William Leonard] Langer attained both eminence and popularity as a ‘Revisionist’ historian and able lecturer, taking an objective and realistic view of recent history. But men who were at Harvard … began to notice a strange and inexplicable change in Langer late in 1936…. [T]he objective historian … was transformed into a strident propagandist who … was whooping it up for another ‘war to end wars’ and another insane Crusade against Germany, this time to punish the Germans for trying to have a country of their own, not under Jewish management…. This … has long been known as the Langer Mystery. What happened?
“George Sylvester Viereck … [said] that he had been summoned to the White House in the late 1930’s, where he was confronted by Roosevelt and his flunky, Fulton Oursler, who urged him to change his attitude toward the ‘European situation,’ since it would be very profitable to do so. At the height of the discussion, Oursler asked Viereck why he was being difficult. ‘After all,’ Oursler said, ‘Langer took $75,000’…. To the amazement of Roosevelt and his flunky, Viereck refused to be bought at any price, so the tyrant had him thrown into jail for four years illegally, where he was subjected to all the horrors described in his Men into Beasts.
“So now the Langer Mystery is solved at last. The sum of $75,000 in the only partly debased currency of that time was the equivalent of at least half a million dollars today….
“Rightly perpended, the venality and mendacity of professed scholars and scientists is the most terrifying aspect of our decadence. … in the 1920’s, the resistance to honest history came chiefly from politicians, journalists, professors, and others who had actively participated in the lying or at least taken positions that compromised them. After 1945, however, a new and extremely powerful force was exerted to perpetuate the innumerable hoaxes—the dread, ruthless, secret, and almost irresistible power of the international race that has, for 2500 years, realized the prophecy that it put into the mouth of its tribal god: ‘I will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come.’ (Exod. 23.27)”
I disagree with some of the words in one of the songs:
“I am a rebel soldier …”
“A State is not the subject of the Federal Government. It is a sovereign body…. Judge Ellsworth, explaining the Constitution of the United States (which he helped to frame) … says: ‘This Constitution does not attempt to coerce sovereign bodies—States in their political capacities; no coercion is applicable to such bodies.’ … A sovereign body may resume lent powers, but it cannot rebel. Surely the attempt of a State to resume its sovereign powers … is not rebellion. Those powers, in the language of Mr. Madison, the Father of the Constitution, were never surrendered, for, as he says: ‘a delegated is not a surrendered power.’ … The Union was created upon the voluntary principle. It can never stand upon any other…. There is a necessity, as unconditional as that of death, that this Union must perish the instant it ceases to be a voluntary bond of fraternal States. To attempt to keep it in existence by the sword, is to make war upon the fundamental principles of liberty and government established by our fathers…. There is no middle ground here. The war is the eternal destruction of the Union—is despotism—is death to the great principle of self-government established by Washington. It is a crime against liberty which admits of no action but that of uncompromising and implacable hostility to it.” (The Old Guard, April 1864, pp. 88–90)
“Abraham Lincoln was the leader of the greatest and bloodiest rebellion ever recorded in the annals of mankind. His whole course was a rebellion, or a war, against not only the fundamental principles of liberty, but it was a war upon civilization and upon society. His generals not only plundered private property, but they murdered nonbelligerent and unarmed people, not even sparing women and children.” (The Old Guard, June 1867, p. 460)
“[I]n four brief years [Lincoln] did more evil to mankind than the worst man that ever lived accomplished in a lifetime. The cause he led is the most unnatural, impious, and sinful that has ever afflicted the world, and the means of its accomplishment the vilest, most dishonest, and devilish that ever degraded our race, or stained the earth since time began.” (The Old Guard, Nov. 1867, p. 844)
“The right of secession is, of course, implicit in the Constitution and was properly recognized by the New Englanders when it coincided with their own financial interests…. Years later, with characteristically Puritanic hypocrisy, the same people, threatened with loss of their lucrative exploitation of the South, claimed that the Union was sacred and indissoluble, and they eventually found and elected a backwoods politician who was willing to ‘save the Union’ by a war of aggression that was fought with a barbarity that horrified the civilized world—and, when successful, spread a moral and mortal infection to Europe.” (Revilo P. Oliver; Liberty Bell; Jan. 1987; “WHY THE CONSTITUTION FAILED”)
“The greatest good of a people is their liberty. Liberty is to the collective body what health is to the individual. Without health no pleasure can be tasted by man. Without liberty no happiness can be enjoyed by society. The obligation, therefore, to defend liberty is greater than all others…. Mr. Lincoln has forced upon Gen. Lee the honor … of fighting the battle of defensive liberty on this continent, while Lincoln and his party carry on a war of offensive despotism. Lincoln’s war is not upon the South alone; it is upon the North also. It is a war against a great principle—the principle of liberty and self-government.” (The Old Guard, August 1864, p. 190)
“We have been mortified to hear this North, where we were born, braying like an ass about ‘rebellion‘ for almost four years now…. Indeed it might puzzle a philosopher to comprehend how a ‘sovereign State’ can be a ‘rebel.’ We know that a subject can rebel against his government; but these States are not the subjects of the federal government. They are the sovereign framers, and masters, and owners of that government…. The Federal Government, which has no original, or sovereign attributes, and which acts only by ‘granted’ or ‘delegated’ powers, can rebel against the sovereign grantors of those powers—alas, we see that that is easy enough!—but let no man, who would not pass for a dolt, talk about the master rebelling against the servant, or the creator rebelling against the creature.…
“We are dealing only with this senseless assertion—which has become the foundation of an order of things never contemplated by the founders of the Union—that, ‘under no circumstances can a State withdraw from the Union.‘ Such an assertion we hold to be not only senseless, but monstrous. Such a principle carried out in all the relations of life, would put a stop to all the movements of civilization. Who would enter into compacts, partnerships, or bargains of any kind, if by so doing they bound themselves, beyond the reach of reparation or retreat, to adhere to contracts after they were broken by the other parties to them? It is certain that if such were the character of the compact of the Union, not one State would ever have become a party to it. The effort to change the character of the compact into an involuntary Union, is revolutionary, and should be abhorred by every State alike; for the existence of every State is alike involved in the issue.” (The Old Guard, Feb. 1865, pp. 49–56)
