Another one of his
deceptions entails Hitler affirming his commitment to legality while later
penning a script Machiavelli would applaud.
In his New Year's Proclamation
for 1 January 1932 he stated:
Men
of my National Socialist Movement! I am not demanding that you do
anything illegal, I am not requiring anything which would bring your conscience
in conflict with the law, but I do demand that you follow me loyally on
the path which the law permits and which my conscience and my insight require,
and that you join your fate with my fate.
HITLER, SPEECHES AND
PROCLAMATIONS 1932-45, Vol. 1, by Max Domarus, page 81
Hitler enjoyed emphasizing
the fact that he came to power without violence by saying in a 1936 speech
commemorating the 1923 Putsch:
We
have conquered our State without, I believe, the breaking of a window pane.
HITLER'S SPEECHES
by Norman Baynes 1942, VOLUME 1, Page 157
In a speech in Berlin
before workers in the Rheinmetall-Borsig Works on 10 December 1940:
I am proud that the Revolution in 1933 was brought to pass without breaking
a single windowpane.
MY NEW ORDER
by Adolf Hitler, Edited by de Sales, 1941, page 886
Of course, he neglects
to mention the fact that one can obtain a position illegally without resorting
to violence, and many feel Bush is a living example of same. The
legality of the 2000 Election is anything but confirmed.
Hitler liked noting
the fact that although he came to power legally through the democratic
process, he promptly set about destroying democracy.
In a speech in Berlin on
30 January 1941 he stated:
In
other words, the so-called National Socialist Revolution defeated "democracy"
in the days of democracy by means of democracy. It insured power
for itself by perfectly legal means.
MY NEW ORDER
by Adolf Hitler, Edited by de Sales, 1941, page 912
For some reason the words “wretch” and “scoundrel” come to mind. If and when the Bushites should ever reach this low level of thought, one shudders at the potential consequences.
In the array of Bush/Hitler
ideological overlap few agreements are more prominent than those associated
with foreign affairs. The ultra nationalistic tone of each permeates
virtually every act and pronouncement, and nowhere is this more evident
than in their treatment of international organizations, treaties, agreements
and votes. The Bushites would no doubt second the following views
as they have comparable opinions of the United Nations.
Speaking about the League
of Nations on 12 December 1937 Hitler stated:
Whether
or not the Great Powers remaining in Geneva are still willing to include
the League of Nations as a serious factor in their policies is their affair.
However, they no longer have the right to present the League of Nations
as the appointed representative of the nations of the world and as the
highest organ of international cooperation.
HITLER, [Speeches
and Proclamations], by Max Domarus, Vol. 2, page 986
Judging by many totally
lopsided UN votes in the last two decades the Bushites and even their predecessors
view the UN as Hitler viewed the League, almost with contempt and certainly
not as an institution that will exercise any supervision over their behavior.
When Hitler says “Whether or not the Great Powers remaining in Geneva are
still willing to include the League of Nations as a serious factor in their
policies is their affair,” he is proving that he does not consider the
League to be a serious component in his calculations which mirrors Bushite
views of the UN.
Hitler alleged the League’s standards were not up to his required
level of eligibility but generalities are used as substitutes for specific
examples of inadequacies.
At 8 p.m. on 18 March 1938
Hitler spoke before the Reichstag and stated:
The
nations are created according to God's will and are everlasting, but the
League of Nations is a highly dubious construction of human fallibility,
human greed, and human bias.
HITLER, [Speeches
and Proclamations], by Max Domarus, Vol. 2, page 1062
For Hitler to accuse
others of displaying fallibility, greed, and bias is about on a par with
the Devil denouncing evil.
He removed Germany
from the League on the pretext that the interests of his people were not
being sufficiently taken into account, and were the United Nations not
in the United States and overwhelmingly dominated by the United States,
the Bushites would no doubt be pushing for American withdrawal. As
a practical matter the United States has already withdrawn, since it ignores
UN mandates and decrees on a regular basis with impunity and indifference.
Speaking of the League in
Munich on 12 September 1923 Hitler stated:
...
One heard of the right of Self-Determination of Peoples, of the League
of Nations, of Self-Government of the People. And what was the result?
A World Peace, but a World Peace over a Germany which was but a field of
corpses. Disarmament, but only the disarmament of Germany, with Germany
looting its own resources. Self-determination, yes, but self-determination
for every Negro tribe: and Germany does not count as a Negro tribe.
League of Nations, yes: but a League of Nations which serves only as the
guarantor for the fulfillment of the Peace Treaty, not for a better world
order which is to come. And government by the people--for five years
past no one has asked the people what it thinks of the act of November
of the year 1918: at the head of the Reich there stands a President who
is rejected by the overwhelming majority of the people and who has not
been chosen by the people.
MY NEW ORDER
by Adolf Hitler, Edited by de Sales, 1941, page 69
In Berlin on 20 February
1938:
...The
League of Nations does not, therefore, defend a condition of right, but
one born of a thousand years of wrong.... All these colonial empires
have in fact not come about through plebiscites, much less democratic plebiscites,
of the people living in them, but have been acquired by naked and brutal
force.
HITLER'S WORDS, by
Adolf Hitler, Edited by Gordon Prange, 1944, page 48
And just as the Bushites
have no regard for the World Court and no intention of obeying its decisions,
Hitler, under the guise of court decrepitude and anemia, displayed a comparable
attitude toward a League of Nations court in a Munich speech on 13 April
1923:
We
asked: “Must there be wars?" When there are in fact differences of
opinion between peoples, then these should be brought before a “Peace Court”
for its decision. But he does not answer the question whether the
judges of this court of arbitration would have the power to bring the parties
before the bar of the court. I believe that an accused ordinarily
only appears "voluntarily" before a court because, if he did not, he would
be fetched there. I should like to see the nation which would allow
itself to be brought before this League of Nations Court in the case of
a disagreement without external force.
MY NEW ORDER
by Adolf Hitler, Edited by de Sales, 1941, page 49
Hitler claimed Germany
would obey the law without the League even though his prior comments clearly
demonstrated that he would ignore in a nanosecond any rules not to his
liking. His addiction to expediency oozes hypocrisy and duplicity.
In a Munich speech
to more than 6000 students on 26 January 1936 Hitler sounded a theme echoed
later by the Bushites to the effect that his nation was strong enough not
to need the services of an international organization of nations:
Germany
is so strong now that she needs no help from the League. She does
not even need treaties of alliance.
HITLER'S SPEECHES
by Norman Baynes,1942, VOLUME 2, page 1259
Had he admitted the
truth, as the Bushites now refuse to do with respect to the US vis a vis
the UN, he would have said he does not want Germany to be limited by the
rulings of any organizations and feels his country can successfully counter
any power or combination of powers. This position is only another
way of saying he wants Germany to be an international outlaw.
In fact, sad is it
may be, Hitler used the stance of the US as justification for Germany not
joining the League.
In Berlin on 20 February
1938 he stated:
It
never was a League of Nations, for from the very beginning one of the greatest
powers in the world [America] did not belong to it, while yet another important
power [Japan] resigned later.
HITLER'S WORDS, by
Adolf Hitler, Edited by Gordon Prange, 1944, page 48
On 28 April 1939 he
summoned the Reichstag and said:
Incidentally the United States itself declined to enter the League of Nations
and to become the victim of a Court which was able by a majority vote to
give a verdict against individual interests.
HITLER'S SPEECHES
by Norman Baynes,1942, VOLUME 2, page 1644
And before the Reichstag
on 28 April 1939:
It
was not till after years of purposeless participation [in the League of
Nations] that I resolved to follow the example of America and likewise
leave the largest conference in the world.
HITLER'S SPEECHES
by Norman Baynes,1942, VOLUME 2, page 1642
When Hitler uses your
nation as a model for his behavior, that is a pathetic situation, indeed,
and only because those of a Bushite mentality were powerful in the post-WWI
US government was American abstention possible. Wilson lacked the
requisite support.
Hitler openly expressed
several opinions of the League which many Bushites have of the UN, although
expediency dictates that the latter’s views remain covert.
In a Munich speech
on 13 April 1923:
In our view the times when there
was no League of Nations were far more honorable and more humane....
MY NEW ORDER
by Adolf Hitler, Edited by de Sales, 1941, page 49
Second,
I must confess that the delegates at Geneva were a pretty exceptional bunch
of nincompoops.
HITLER'S TABLE TALK,
1941-1944, Translated by Cameron & Stevens, 2000, page 487
And in a Berlin speech
on 18 March 1938:
And
one thing is certain: just as the peoples have been existing for countless
millenniums without a League of Nations, there will come a time when the
League of Nations is a thing of the distant past, and the peoples will
nevertheless prevail throughout the millenniums.
HITLER, [Speeches
and Proclamations], by Max Domarus, Vol. 2, page 1063
In a world in which that egotistical attitude prevailed, it would be difficult to imagine anything other than extreme nationalisms, jingoism, and perpetual conflicts.
Hitler was even more
contemptuous of the Treaty of Versailles. He viewed it as nothing
more than a crime in progress.
In a speech in Munich on
12 April 1922 he said:
Thus
we were the first to declare that this peace treaty [The Treaty of Versailles]
was a crime.
MY NEW ORDER
by Adolf Hitler, Edited by de Sales, 1941, page 25
Everything that comes under the heading of Treaty of Versailles I regard
as extortion.
HITLER'S TABLE TALK,
1941-1944, Translated by Cameron & Stevens, 2000, page 224
And in Berlin on 30
January 1941:
...the
Treaty of Versailles was the greatest injustice and the most infamous maltreatment
of a great nation in recorded history....
MY NEW ORDER
by Adolf Hitler, Edited by de Sales, 1941, page 913
This attitude no doubt
motivated him to announce to the world that Germany would continue its
outlaw status by having no intention of acceding to the Treaty’s requirements.
In Frankfurt on 31 March
1938:
I
have been in power for five years. And in this time period I have
torn page upon page from the book of the disgraceful Treaty of Versailles.
I have done so not in defiance of law, but rather as a man who preserves
law and order, a man who is not in breach of contract, but rather as a
man who refuses to acknowledge a shameful Diktat as a holy contract!
HITLER, [Speeches
and Proclamations], by Max Domarus, Vol. 2, page 1079
In Regensburg on 6
June 1937:
In
scarcely four years, we have dismantled piece by piece the Treaty that
was thrust upon us and brought the greatest disgrace upon our Volk; we
have liberated the nation and restored to it all the qualities that characterize
a free people and a free nation.
HITLER, [Speeches
and Proclamations], by Max Domarus, Vol. 2, page 902
In Munich on 1 August
1923:
The
Treaty of Versailles is founded on a monstrous lie. We refuse to
carry out its terms any longer. Do what you will! If you wish
for war, go and get it!
MY NEW ORDER
by Adolf Hitler, Edited by de Sales, 1941, page 65
And he even felt that
those responsible for Germany’s surrender in WWI should be executed:
...some
day a German national court will have to sentence and to execute some 10,000
of the organizing and thus responsible criminals of the November treason
and of all that is involved in this.

Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 800
