With all the talk about a third world war, it isn’t just instructive but essential to understand the real origins and causes of the first two. Like the proposition it was Germany’s imperial ambition that kindled the First World War in 1914, the notion that the rise of Adolf Hitler was an aberrant manifestation of the economic, social, and political chaos prevailing in post-War Germany is one we still teach our kids in school, and embrace without question in our public discourse. Both of these doctrines — to this day perpetuated by the custodians of the historical record on behalf of the Anglo-American-Zionist establishment — are the most enduring deceits and existentially dangerous delusions infecting the Western body politic.--Greg Maybury
