- Hitler and the Nazis ended up the way they started out.
Hitler tended to overextend, as in his earliest overt political maneuver,
the Beer House Pusch coup attempt. He got knocked down in the effort, and
was imprisoned largely BECAUSE he was overextended. He was forced to retreat
and regroup. Supposedly, he eventually emerged from this early defeat BIGGER
and farther ahead than if he had not initially taken the early risk. Yet,
many of his later strategies and moves came to the same end : extremely
swift violent impulsive pushes followed by severe exhaustion and then final
collapse of the entire Nazis system and the German nation he held hostage.
But their cultural meme ( mental gene ) did not die out- it was transferred
across the Atlantic to infect the Allied victors of the conflict that Hitler
inspired, or rather perpetuated.
-
- Ironically, THOSE victors, who claimed to be saving the
world, were the first to use the Atomic Bomb, the very first deployment
of this historic new weapon saw its use in vengeance and anger against
masses of unarmed Japanese civilians. And now today, those same Allied
victors seek to prevent the proliferation of this class of weapons to nations
seeking to defend themselves from the same Allied block who already proved
they were capable of using the same kind of weapon on occassions and for
purposes other than for self- defense or strictly for national survival.
-
- This virulent cultural meme was successfully passed along
as an unseen and undetected mental 'virus' from nation-to-nation, spreading
around the world. It is a meme that learns from the tactics and technology
of the aggressor enemy, and then attempts a one- upsmanship power play.
It is also the old instinct to innovate in the application of more ' conventional
' weapons, whichever weapons work for whatever they are worth, as in the
fire bombings of German and Japanese cities. The fire bombings were just
cheap-and-dirty old warfare, the biggest bang for the buck in those days,
ultimately intended to send a message to indirectly pressure the leadership
by inflicting huge social costs at home.
-
- Todays 'smart weapons' more directly target leadership,
again, 'command and control', primarily. The larger social motivations
for fighting a war, the nation's will to organize and sustain a defense
against the Allied aggressor, is thus temporarily scattered and quelled
thereby, only to bubble up and boil over in an ' informal ', socially popular
guerilla war of attrition.
-
- For a time, the conflict is containable, from the viewpoint
of the Allies. Controllable that is, until the costs become too high and
there comes a retreat of political will, followed by a loosening of the
Allied grip. Then the defending nation experiences the rise of a radical
extremist leader who organizes a local military police state to ' prevent
' the humiliating invasions and losses suffered ' from ever happening again
'. This response is also very convenient for the Allies, who then have
yet another excuse to invade and conquer again whenever it is to their
advantage to do so. Back and forth, the cycle continues. And so, too, the
lies of those who seek to justify it.
-
- The only hope we may have to break this cycle of world-
scale violence is possibly to be found in exposing it, describing its methods
and the psychological and cultural mechanisms by which it proliferates.
Telling the patient that yes, he is sick, and reviewing all the symptoms,
a spiritual illness of the heart and mind and spirit, and applying the
cure to treat those symptoms FIRST. Sick cultural memes are also spread
by WORD of mouth, its germs are arrogant IDEAS, hateful EMOTIONS, angry
FEELINGS, atrocious ACTIONS; likewise, open minded and healing cultural
memes can also be spread effectively by MOVING WORDS of mouth, its vectors
are TOLERANT ideas, LOVING emotions, COMPASSIONATE feelings, heroic and
courageous ACTIONS.
