How propaganda is used to trigger revenge killings

"The second lesson of World War II, set forth by Colonel Solbert and Dr. Edwin Guthrie was simply this: Atrocity propaganda begets atrocity. Everyone knows that war is cruel, sad, shameful to the soul of man; everyone knows that it hurts, degrades, injures the human body; everyone knows that it is not pleasant to undergo, nor even to look at... Atrocity propaganda reacts against war in general; meanwhile, it goads the enemy into committing more atrocities. The anti-atrocity rule was not lifted in World War II (save for one or two notable exceptions, such as President Roosevelt's delayed announcement of the Japanese having executed the Doolittle flyers)... Atrocity propaganda heats up the imagination of troops, makes them more liable to nervous or psychoneurotic strain. It increases the chances of one's own side committing atrocities in revenge for the ones alleged or reported."

This is a video to make people think.

February 23 commemorates the creation of the legions of rapists and robbers known as the Red Army — an entity that destroyed the Cossack population. The Cossack nationalist Vasily Sakharov emphasizes that this holiday is highly celebrated in certain parts of the world, while St. George's Day (the Tsarist era celebration of the warrior and defender of the fatherland) has been disregarded. Cossacks, as a people, should celebrate significant dates to Cossack history, such as the formation of the independent Don Cossack Army, which outnumbered, fought against the Bolshevik forces.

He argues therefore that February 23, is an imposition of an alien celebration: "Until we realize that we have our own holidays and that others have been imposed on us from the outside, we won't make any progress."

Celebrations of communist holidays such as International Woman's Day are spread throughout the world, even in places where communism was resisted. The speaker states: "Similarly, March 8 is the day of emancipation and protection of women. Who fought for that? Clara Zetkin and Rosa Luxemburg [the feminist Luxemburg who tried to start a Red terror in Germany]. We Cossacks have our own holidays—Mother's Day of the Cossack, the day of the Cossack woman. There are many good reasons to visit our dear women, hug them, kiss them, and give them gifts—to mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters—to show attention and respect. These are good days. Why do we need this eighth of March?"

International Women's Day is a Bolshevik holiday

After the Russian Revolution, Bolsheviks Alexandra Kollontai and Vladimir Lenin established International Women's Day as an official holiday, as depicted in the 1920s poster captioned, "Together with the men, we will throw out the capitalists." Feminists Clara Zetkin and Rosa Luxemburg also advocated for the day of women's emancipation, with Luxemburg playing a role in initiating the Red Terror in Germany. Nationalists should celebrate Mother's Day, which communists do not, as communists support abortion and infanticide, policies also legalized by Lenin.

Communists can't solve problems, all they know how to do is levy punitive tax and steal land. They have never been thoroughly punished for what they did, yet.

The communist globalist Mexican government is now coming after the most basic foodstuff: tortillas! Not only does the government double tax tortillerías (because apart from paying taxes to the tax agency they also have to pay the mafia cartel extortion tax), tortillerías and shops must now store and transport tortillas precisely as the government demands or face a ~$225,000 USD fine! 🌮 https://www.luznoticias.mx/2026-03-09/mexico/multaran-4-mdp-por-vender-tortillas-en-hieleras-esto-dice-profeco-/280897

Lets recall that China and the USSR helped to get the various terrorist factions into power in Namibia, while the USA and the UK helped to re-name the terrorist leaders as democratic leaders. An opinion is asked: is Namibia "anti-colonialist" or just an example…

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the world, China is freely mining uranium in Africa:

"The handover of Rössing Uranium mine from long-time British majority shareholder Rio Tinto to China National Uranium Corporation is currently underway at the mine in Arandis. The 69% shareholding was sold for N$1.5 billion to the incoming Chinese owners." (New Era Newspaper, 2019)

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country... In theory, every citizen makes up his mind on public questions and matters of private conduct. In practice, if all men had to study for themselves the abstruse economic, political, and ethical data involved in every question, they would find it impossible to come to a conclusion about anything. We have voluntarily agreed to let an invisible government sift the data and high-spot the outstanding issues so that our field of choice shall be narrowed to practical proportions. From our leaders and the media they use to reach the public, we accept the evidence and the demarcation of issues bearing upon public questions; from some ethical teacher..."

Concepts in Latvian Folklore: Rye Bread

In Latvian culture, rye bread holds central importance. It represents identity, spirituality, and the history of the people. Rye is a winter crop, sown in autumn. The sprouts remain dormant through winter and resume growth in spring. The plant blooms for two weeks, matures for two weeks, and dries for two weeks. This cycle became part of the cycle of Baltic life.

Few traditional beliefs and rituals surround rye bread:

- If a piece of rye bread is dropped on the ground, it must be kissed before eating.
- One must speak to the leaves wrapped around the loaf before baking- maple leaves in the green of the world and cabbage leaves after- so they offer their flavor, sweetness, and protection.
- The uncooked loaf must be marked with a holy sign to thank the flour before baking.

These markings are called "bread signs." Ethnographer Indra Čekstere has documented how these signs vary by region in Latvia. Similar traditions exist in Estonia and Lithuania. Regional signs also change by season. The crisscrossed sun appears during winter solstice. The pine needle sign appears during times of dryness and fire. Whatever sign is used, one should pray when making it.

The 1976 report "The Next 200 Years: A Scenario for America and the World" by Herman Kahn, an analyst for the military-industrial complex's RAND Corporation, predicted—similar to the Deagel report—a reduction in population growth and mass migration from the third world to the first world, where affluence will create a population of lazy people. He anticipated that America would continue to be the world's most affluent and wealthy superpower, acknowledged the existence of an elite class, and suggested that their children receive Epictetian education to combat boredom. He anticipated that the only way first-world countries would be able to rid themselves of their third-world migrants would be to continue to pay them a lifelong salary once they were returned to their home countries.

The point will invariably arise: "This tells me how to listen to a foreign radio. Okay, I'll get the news, the lectures, the plays—all the rest of it. But so what? How am I going to know what's the truth and what's propaganda? How can I tell 'em apart? Tell me that!"

The answer is simple: "If you agree with it, it's truth. If you don't agree, it's propaganda. Pretend that it is all propaganda. See what happens on your analysis reports."

"Understand us carefully here! — We make a basic distinction between religious Catholicism and political Catholicism. We refuse now, as during the System Era, to lump together religious and political Catholicism, particularly since we know that the overwhelming majority of German Catholics have always rejected the evil machinations of Catholic politicians, just as the highest Church dignitaries have done. Pope Leo XIII himself said:

“The misuse of religion for political purposes is the greatest sin.”

National Socialism has proven that it is happy to grant the Church what the Church claims. The National Socialist government concluded a Concordat with the Roman Catholic Church very soon after its takeover of power. It regulated relations between the two, stated rights and duties, and granted the Church wide-ranging privileges. It did this with confidence that the Church would respect the Concordant and give clerics firm guidelines to stay away from any political activity, to be loyal to the National Socialist government, and not to stick their noses in things that are not their concern and that they do not understand.

National Socialism is Not an Enemy of the Roman Catholic Church: Despite the fact that the Roman Catholic clergy took a clear stand against National Socialism in the years prior to the National Socialist takeover, despite the Center Party demagogues in priestly garb who joined with atheistic Marxism in the years before 30 January 1933 to agitate against National Socialism all over the country in the filthiest ways, despite clerics like the notorious Dr. Moenius, who dressed in his priestly raiment carried out infernal agitation against heroic German front soldiers and against Germany in general, without any objection from Church authorities, despite the fact that honored and loyal fighters of the National Socialist movement such as Gauleiter Peter Gemeinder in Frankfurt were denied church burial while mass murderers such as Kürten [a German serial killer] received the sacraments without any difficulties, despite the fact that even cardinals and bishops such as Faulhaber and Gföllner accepted and spread the silliest lies and slanders about National Socialism in more or less official statements, even adding to them, the National Socialist government offered the hand of peace to the Roman Catholic Church. No National Socialist has the intention or the wish to unleash a new battle intended to alienate the German Catholic from his faith and Church."

Anschluss (March 12, 1938)

88 years ago, Austria was annexed by the German Reich. After countless years, the two brotherly nations were reunited.

The Anschluss did not happen suddenly; the banned Austrian NSDAP had been fighting for it for five years, since 1933. On March 12, this struggle was finally rewarded. Shortly before, the Austrian chancellor had held a vote that was obviously rigged so that people could only vote yes.

In order to finally reunite the Austrians and Germans, Hitler sent German soldiers across the border on March 12, 1938, who were welcomed not with armed force, but with cheers. Just look at the pictures.
