In early March 1860, Abraham Lincoln spoke in Hartford, Connecticut, against the spread of slavery and for the right of workers to strike. Five store clerks, who had started a Republican group called the Wide Awakes, decided to join a parade for Lincoln, who delighted in the torchlight escort back to his hotel provided for him after his speech

In 1985, Bob Heick began writing and distributing leaflets, mostly from a nationalist anti-communist stance, in response to the increasing leftist influence in the local punk subculture. Originally intended as an umbrella organization for all American skinheads, AF had no formal structure or membership. In San Francisco, Heick lost favor with the mostly apolitical skinheads. Media attention and constant vandalism and assault (such as breaking the windows of the Bound Together anarchist bookstore and harassing interracial couples in the Haight-Ashbury) by the group brought increased attention from the local police. In addition, Heick's progression from patriotism to Nazism lost him many friends, and some people accused him of trying to take over the local skinhead scene. Heick then started associating with heavy metal music fans and rural white workers. He formed the short-lived group United White Brethren in the North and South Bay Areas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Front?wprov=sfti1

Especially against Black/African and Asian people, but also Natives and ppl we consider (at least partially) "White" today like Irish, Italians, Jews, Russians, Turks, etc. but just because they believed in one thing or another doesn't mean that we must believe too.

8:26 AM
Witold Pilecki (1901–48) was a Polish military and intelligence officer (Soviet-Polish War veteran too) who volunteered to be imprisoned in Auschwitz and send information on what goes on there to the outside world. The US & UK governments initially thought these reports were simply Polish atrocity propaganda and that the claims were too wild to be true, so they were largely ignored for some time. In addition to getting information about Auschwitz into the outside word, Pilecki organized hundreds of inmates there as secret resistance before escaping. After he escaped, he participated in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. The Germans caught him during the uprising and put him in a POW camp. After the war, he returned to Poland as a strong supporter of the Second Republic (the government-in-exile) and expected the communist authorities to kill him, which they did. Arrested in 1947 for "foreign imperialism" and executed 1948.
8:27 AM
8:28 AM
Jan Karski (1914–2000) grew up in a mixed Catholic-Jewish neighborhood and attended military school & diplomatic training during 1935-39. He started work in the Foreign Ministry a few months before WWII and was captured as a POW. Karski escaped and began working for the resistance and as a courier for the government-in-exile, infiltrating camps and reporting on the situation in occupied Poland to the West. Valuable information about concentration camps, ghettoes and massacres were passed along by him. He met with President Roosevelt in 1943, who wasn't too interested in talking about the Holocaust with him. After the war, he stayed in the US, got a doctorate and taught at Georgetown. Bill Clinton was even one of his students. However, between 1945 and 1980, he barely talked publicly about what he did during the war. Then, he did a interview in 1978 for the 9-hour film Shoah (released 1985), a short interview for a book in 1980 and a public speech in 1981 at the request of Holocaust survivor & author Elie Wiesel. He wrote Shoah, a Biased Vision of the Holocaust in 1987 criticizing how the documentary presented him though. The Polish government didn't recognize him as a hero until 1989-90, when he was given several awards. He talked publicly and wrote about what he did in the war from 1980 to his death in 2000.
8:28 AM
During the war, he had moved between occupied Poland, France, the UK and the US meeting with different leaders to transmit messages and relay what he saw. He was smuggled in and out of Jewish ghettoes like the Warsaw Ghetto (where the penalty for entering or leaving without authorization was death) and disguised himself as an Estonian camp guard to infiltrate the Bełżec camp.

Hitler said to Coulondre that he had summoned him to say that he had no desire to have war with France. He had no claims against France. Personally he renounced all claims to Alsace-Lorraine. The French had, however, given carte blanche to the Poles and the Poles were acting in a manner that no self-respecting state could endure. If such actions should continue he on his side would have to act with force. Hitler’s voice then rose and he screamed out a series of imaginary Polish atrocities against the German minority in Poland. After this he said that he would regret war with France; but that he was ready for it. He knew that the French were a brave nation like the Germans and that they would expect to win. He also would expect to win especially since his agreement with the Soviet Union was a positive one. If France chose to make a general European war out of the action which he would be obliged to take if the Poles should continue their present behavior, there would be war. He then said something vague which indicated that he seemed to have in his head some sort of an idea about an exchange of minority populations between Poland and Germany. He then returned to the alleged Polish atrocities against the German minority and ended his talking with the French Ambassador on a highly belligerent note. It was immediately after receipt of the French Ambassador’s telegram that Bonnet gave me the information that he considered Hitler’s statements to Coulondre a warning before action.
— describing a conversation between the French ambassador to Germany and Hitler, August 26th, 1939
8:50 PM
Hitler to Britain, same timeframe:
Hitler said to the British Ambassador that he did not desire to have war with Great Britain. The cruelties which the Poles were inflicting on Germans in Poland, if continued, would oblige him to take military action against the Poles... The message was that he, Hitler, was prepared to consider a certain measure of disarmament and he desired to assure Great Britain that although he needed colonies and would continue to demand them, this demand need not be fulfilled for 4 or 5 years and Germany need not require the same colonies which she had lost after the War of 1914. He said that he was in desperate need of timber and oilstuffs of all sorts. His demands against Poland still remained the attachment to the Reich of Danzig and the establishment of a strip of territory across the Corridor to Danzig and from Danzig to East Prussia so that East Prussia would be connected directly through German territory with the Reich. It might also be necessary to agree with the Polish Government to exchange the German minority in Poland against the Polish minority in Germany. He requested Henderson to leave for London at the earliest possible moment and to return with the reply of the British Government to the statements that he had made. Henderson expressed the opinion to Coulondre that Hitler would not make war during the 48 hours necessary to receive the reply. It was after the receipt of this message from Coulondre that Bonnet telephoned to me and said that it appeared that Hitler did not desire a general European war and might be ready for negotiation.

Today, the records of the commission are available online for search. The records also revealed the state's complicity in the murders of Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner at Philadelphia, Mississippi. Its investigator A. L. Hopkins gave information about the workers to the commission, including the car license number of a new civil rights worker.

Oh, the context was posted in another channel. Here's what you're missing: it's just the logo for a neo-nazi neo-pagan black/death metal band called "tetragrammicide." The Tetragrammaton (Greek word meaning "four lettered word") is a reference to the Name of God in Hebrew, roughly equivalent to English alphabet "YHWH," from which names like "Jehovah" are derived in English.
10:13 PM
They're saying "Kill Abrahamics" when they say "Kill the emissaries of the Tetragrammaton," likely because they believe that since Abrahamic religion is Semitic, it is not good for European/White people to be practicing it and that it is a Jewish conspiracy or something since it began with Judaism and the Israelites.

Encountered it while looking for info regarding Julius Streicher's last words. Was looking into the Nuremberg Trials and almost all of executed men had last words professing their innocence or sorrow, except Streicher, who shouted "Heil Hitler" and "Purim Fest 1946" before "The Bolsheviks will hang you as well" Purim was in March, he was executed in October. But his newspaper, Der Stürmer, had written several articles about Purim, mostly repeating lies and attributing unsolved murders to Jewish rituals
1:31 PM
Streicher was so extreme that Hitler and others, I believe Göring and/or Himmler, had him removed from most of his positions and they would periodically suppress Der Stürmer because it was such a terrible newspaper at times that the Nazis felt it negatively impacted their image

It is interesting propaganda though, because some of it is almost pornographic in nature. It's bizarre

TIL about Joachim Peiper. He was a Waffen SS leader accused of war crimes, including being responsible for his unit's mass execution of US POWs around the time of the Battle of the Bulge. Peiper was tried at the Dachau Concentration Camp in 1946, found guilty and sentenced to death. The sentence was reviewed and upheld, but later, in 1951, it was commuted to life imprisonment. In 1954, further commuted to 35 years imprisonment... He was released at the end of 1956 and went on to work for Porsche and Volkswagen while also working in SS veterans' organizations. Peiper eventually moved to France in 1972 and went by a false name, but his true identity was discovered during 1974-76 by French communists and anti-fascists. The press swarmed him and he gave interviews where he insulted France, claiming it was a cowardly country in 1940, further outraging people. He said he already served his time in jail (1945-56) for the crimes his unit committed. On Bastille Day (July 14th) 1976, French anti-fascists torched his house, killing him. He was 61 years old.

Ngl I'm disappointed and kinda shocked that they commuted his sentence so much and let him go after only like 11 years in our custody. Operation Paperclip, that was scientists. Other Nazis that we let go were top administrators and diplomats and such, people who were needed to govern the new Germany. But this guy 1) wasn't worth shit, 2) killed our men, which should've made us more reluctant to let him go, 3) did nothing of value after the war anyways, he worked in car factories for the rest of his life but I guess that's just #1 restated. This guy wasn't a genius or an expert or anything. He was a nobody who became a war criminal and then went back to being a nobody. Why the fuck did we let him go?

He didn't even serve out the 35 years commuted sentence

Witold Pilecki (1901–48) was a Polish military and intelligence officer (Soviet-Polish War veteran too) who volunteered to be imprisoned in Auschwitz and send information on what goes on there to the outside world. The US & UK governments initially thought these reports were simply Polish atrocity propaganda and that the claims were too wild to be true, so they were largely ignored for some time. In addition to getting information about Auschwitz into the outside word, Pilecki organized hundreds of inmates there as secret resistance before escaping. After he escaped, he participated in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. The Germans caught him during the uprising and put him in a POW camp. After the war, he returned to Poland as a strong supporter of the Second Republic (the government-in-exile) and expected the communist authorities to kill him, which they did. Arrested in 1947 for "foreign imperialism" and executed 1948.

Newspaper headlines from before the Holocaust regarding "Six Million Jews," used by neo-Nazis, Holocaust deniers and other conspiracy theorists to claim that the death toll of the Holocaust was made up or something. Here is the explanation I wrote a couple years ago in another server:
10:08 AM
I have an explanation for the thing where people send newspaper articles from 1905, 1915, 1920, etc about six million. The Jewish population of the Russian Empire in 1897 was over 5,063,156 people, the total in Austria-Hungary in 1910 was 2,261,180 and the total in German Empire in 1910 was 615,000. In total, that's about 7.8 million Jews in Central–Eastern Europe with over 5 million in Russia alone. Now, most of the articles are from 1905–07, 1914–23 and 1932–33. During each of these periods, there were wars, famines and riots in Eastern Europe that killed millions. The 1905 Russian Revolution, World War I, the 1917 Russian Revolution, the Russian Civil War, the 1920–22 Russian/Soviet famine and the 1932–33 Soviet famine (Holodomor). Anti-Jewish riots and lynchings (pogroms) took place during this time too. The most hard-hit places of all of these events was the Pale of Settlement, Moldova, Ukraine, Poland, Galicia and Lodomeria, eastern Germany, etc which was where most of these millions of Jews lived. These horrific events gained international attention and various foreign governments and groups sent aid to these areas. Jewish groups and non-Jewish groups, aid for suffering Jewish people and suffering Gentile people. The press covered it a lot. The 6,000,000 number just comes from the Jewish population of the region at the time. It'd be like saying "28 Million Yemenis are in Danger of Starving and Dying" as a headline today.

During WW2, half a million Nazi POWs were brought to America to work the fields and factories. Fears spread of fraternization with nurses, so the military hoped to stop this by allowing African American women to tend to the German prisoners.
