Life is full of the good, the bad and the ugly. We celebrate the good, and move on to face the realities of life. We mourn the effects of what's bad, and get them behind us as fast as we can. We take one look at the ugly and say, never again.
Until the prevailing paradigm
has changed fundamentally, the human condition will continue to remind us that
life is not a bed of roses. Thus, as much as we wish it, we do not live in a
state of permanent happiness simply because we cannot. However, we do enjoy and
celebrate the fleeting moments of happiness that happen to us randomly or by
design, then accept the daily drudgery of life while longing for the day when
happiness will come to visit again.
Scientists will tell you that
nature exists because it remains in a balanced state, which means that
everything good in it, is opposed by a bad something. And so, in the same way
that we accept and celebrate the birth of a child, we accept but mourn the
death of a loved one. In the span of time between one event and the other, we
strive to acquire more of what's pleasant than what's unpleasant, and succeed
half the time.
There are two ways for
ugliness to happen. There is the natural way, which happens when nature strikes
with a force we cannot overcome. An example would be the epidemic that gets out
of control and kills many people. But once the ugliness passes and becomes
history, we take the memory of it in our stride, though we do not forget it
entirely because history is unforgettable.
Ugliness also comes to us
artificially when we refuse to burn up the bad things as they happen in real
time. Such refusal causes the bad things to bottle up till the pressure gets so
high, it causes an explosion. This happens when the prevailing culture is of
the kind that suppresses the free expression of unauthorized opinions, and
favors that of the sovereign in control of the culture.
The Holocaust is one such
example. Even though the term is used in the singular, it nevertheless refers
to an occurrence that had a string of precedents. They were equally horrific
but were done on a smaller scale, and were referred to as pogroms. Whereas the
Holocaust with a capital H refers to the one that took place during World War
Two, afflicting mainly Jews, there have been other holocausts afflicting other
communities in other places around the globe.
The holocausts and pogroms
that afflicted the non-Jews are treated as historical events with respect for
those who perished, and compassion as well as dignity for their relatives. For
a number of years after World War Two, the same applied to the Jews, but then
things began to slide down the sewer of crass commercialism. It is that slowly
but surely, the Jewish Holocaust took on the air of an extortionist tool in the
hands of rapacious Jewish leaders, especially those in Israel.
That development was bad in
itself, but what made it worse is described by the French saying that goes like
this: “Appetite increases with the eating.” In fact, the more that the Jews
forced the Americans to mortgage their country's honor by pressuring the
European countries to pay the Jews compensation that was not due, the more the
Jewish leaders felt hungrier for more extorted money.
But for that scheme to
succeed, the Jewish propaganda machine had to be switched to the afterburner
mode, spewing real and imagined stories about the Holocaust. The intent was to
keep the memory alive, and be in a position to extort money for an indefinite
period of time. You can see how the Jews continue to play this game when you
study the article that came under the tile: “Holocaust remembrance is about the
present and future, not just the past,” written by Greg Schneider and published
on January 27, 2021 in the New York Daily News. It must be noted that Greg
Schneider is a high executive at the Conference on Jewish Material Claims
Against Germany, the country from which another billion and a quarter in
American dollars were recently extorted.
It must also be noted that for
some time now, Holocaust education in America has been imposed on youngsters
held captive in classrooms. Several studies, conducted by Jewish organizations
and others, have concluded that the more you educate youngsters on the
Holocaust, the more they exhibit antisemitic tendencies. And yet, despite all
of this, Greg Schneider is repeating the call that was issued by Jewish
Central, asking for more money to develop a new Holocaust curriculum, and
repeat the failed experiment. Here are his words:
“Remembrance helps to develop
empathy. But remembrance of the past represents only part of our
responsibility. Promises ring empty without a commitment to educate future
generations. Without such education, subsequent generations will not know what
is they are supposed to remember … Our collective history and the memory of the
6 million depend on it, and so does our future”.
But the truth of the matter is that history is
never forgotten. It is always here, always remembered and always updated.
Before the Jewish leaders' drive to milk stories of the Holocaust, what the
Jews suffered in twentieth century Europe was treated with respect for those
who perished, and compassion as well as dignity for their relatives.
And then the Jews turned the Holocaust into a business that people hate the more it is shoved down their throats. It is getting worse by the day because people like Greg Schneider monetize it by shoving it down the throats of those who cannot stand the ugliness of hypocrisy.
