Let's not design or build a catastrophic Society

It is said that journalism is the first draft of history. This should mean that everyone who participates in drafting that history is a witness to what's happening. As to those who give themselves the right to comment on what's happening; they play the role of judge and jury.

In a setting of this complexity, contemporary society and historians, as well as future historians carry a heavy burden. They have the duty to determine the reliability of the witnesses they encounter before anything else. But as time moves on and society becomes more sophisticated, the age of innocence wears off, and people drift away from morality. They lie and cheat, yet still manage to act as innocently as a small child.

Given the Jewish propensity to lie and cheat, and given their monopoly of the English-speaking media, nearly one hundred percent of the witnesses that come forward to testify on certain issues are unreliable despite their innocent appearance. To use these people as witnesses distorts the reality of the events they talk about, as grotesquely as you can imagine. To go further and allow them to sit as judges that decide on the course of any investigation, is a travesty of justice that is mind boggling.

What is missing in this process is the realization that it is one thing to hear the victims of the Holocaust tell what happened to them; it is another to hear it from their children and grandchildren. The latter are people whose knowledge of what happened is based exclusively on the stories they took in since they were toddlers. They sat on the lap of their elders and listened to horror stories that grew more horrifying in their heads as they grew up themselves while ruminating on the haunting stories that used to give them nightmares.

What you need to do to get a sense of how badly injured psychologically these people are, and how negatively they can affect society, especially the young and the innocent in it, is to read what they write. One of these people is Daniel Pipes who wrote “German and Austrian media outrage me,” an article that was published on September 18, 2018 in The Washington Times. What follows are excerpts from that article:

“I must put this topic in more personal terms: Much of my family was murdered by the Nazis. My parents are Holocaust survivors. Growing up, the fact that the world's most horrific crime was perpetrated against my own family cast an indelible shadow. Realizing early that disaster looms, from a young age I studied political philosophy. I read National Review and I fought the New Left. I continue to learn and teach on this topic. The progeny of Nazis dares to imply I am a neo-Nazi. This distortion confirms my weariness of European media. The media and politicians located neo-Nazis on the town's streets and turned Middle Eastern migrants into victims. European police, politicians, press, priests, professors and prosecutors distort facts to turn those protecting their heritage into criminals. I know, for now I too am a casualty”.

Daniel Pipes says he lives in a shadow he cannot erase. He explains that from a young age, he felt that disaster was looming like a sword over his head, ready to fall and end his life. This should not come as a surprise given that the family of those who suffered a trauma, suffer even more than their loved ones. When this happens to toddlers, the pain gets ingrained in them, and they suffer from it all their lives. These are the conditions under which Pipes studied political philosophy, he says. He absorbed the ideas not with a grain of salt or a critical eye, but from the angle of a mind that was disfigured beyond recognition. He went from there to teach what he knows to a generation that will grow up to develop views about the beastliness of life, even more extreme than his.

It is generally accepted that those who are abused as children develop a high propensity to abuse other children when they grow up. And there is no doubt that growing up in a setting like the one described by Daniel Pipes, is a setting that abuses the psyche of youngsters. This is true whether the storyteller is a parent or a self-appointed teacher that's driven by sentiments he cannot erase.

This is why Daniel Pipes was identified as a neo-Nazi by the Germans and the Austrians who are better equipped than anyone to recognize his kind of symptoms. What this story should tell us, and what we must never forget, is that teaching the Holocaust in schools should be criminalized, and that building new Holocaust memorials must be outlawed.

One Daniel Pipes is dangerous to society, raising hundreds of them will be catastrophic.
