Ike’s
Free Ride and Other Tales of Horror
“I
like Ike” but not so much
As
the Clock Ticks…
It’s
time we talked about Ike. Why? Today, the Huffington Post announced
that a secret underground gas chamber was found in Poland, a leftover from the
holocaust.
Some
might call this convenient timing, when Israel is assaulted around the world
for genocide in Gaza. This week, on the TV show “The Strain,” there was a
depiction of the removal of human ashes from Auschwitz, insanely unrelated to
the plot, just thrown in.
You see, in
Europe, you can go to prison for ten years for bringing up the holocaust
without getting the “factoids” straight. Now, anyone not talking about
the new “hidden gas chambers” faces jail. How does this, and films like
Winter Soldier have anything to do with Ike?
Ike, at the
beginning of World War II was a minor officer with no combat experience.
He was left home when the Army went to fight in France and stayed home as well
for World War II, until they took him from Lt. Col. to 4 star general.
Who is “they?” Ike had powerful friends, powerful friends who hated the
United States.
During the war, it was Ike
that pushed the Allies into Italy through Sicily. This ground down
resources and held back the D Day invasion by over a year while giving nothing
whatsoever to the war effort. This was pure treason. At the end of
the war, the Germans were still handily beating the hell out of us in Italy and
would still be if they wanted to.
Patton,
by staff car similar to one it was killed in
Hamstringing
Patton was Ike’s specialty.
Ground command after D Day went to Montgomery, someone who shared the same
friends Ike had. Monty, after the landings, failed to take any objective
whatsoever, failed to coordinate with Bradley, allowed an entire German Army to
escape, this act alone took the war into 1945.
He did
more. After the Allied breakout toward Paris and the Ruhr, Patton was
stopped and his gas and ammunition was given to Monty. It was spent on
Operation Market Garden, a totally insane boondoggle to send armies across the
endless network of canals and Rhein tributaries into Germany.
Anyone who has
visited the areas knows how insane this is. No army could move there,
ours didn’t we got our tails waxed as was intended.
This was
important because Hitler needed our supplies to be limited and our forces split
for his Ardennes offensive in what was called The Battle of the Bulge.
Monty, commanding British forces and the US 9th Army, was “paralyzed” when the
German’s broke through. Only Patton saved the war but he would pay for it
later, Ike would see to that.
Hitler, that’s
another story. At some point we will debate, genocidal monster, failed
savior of Christianity or most famous “crisis actor” in history.
You see, were
it not for the insane Italy campaign or Monty’s foot dragging in Normandy or
Market Garden or his failures during the Battle of the Bulge, the US would have
met the Russians inside Poland. The allies would have taken
Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Yugoslavia as well.
There was NO agreement in
place to give the Russian’s Berlin, this came later, part of the “set
up.” With America sitting on all of Germany and half of what we call
Eastern Europe, there would have been no Cold War or communist threat at all,
no Greek civil war, no need for a Marshall Plan or NATO. No one would
have pushed the French back into Vietnam, taking a pro-American government
under Ho Chi Minh and turning them into an enemy that would grind up American
armies for a decade.
You didn’t
know Ho was a US ally?
Back to recent
television, the flurry of holocaust references and victimization mythology to
offset a massive rise in anti-Israel feelings across Europe, continually
reported in the Israeli press, in fact all they talk about anymore.
So
much of our history has bee Hollywoodized
A bit
ago there was a Bill Murray film
where he played FDR. According to the film, FDR had sex with anything
that walked or crawled, a mindless sociopath and drunk. Does this sound
like the film version of JFK? It should. If you stop and think
about it, every president is being trashed, all but Ike. Let’s talk about
Ike again.
At the end of
the war, Ike was in charge in Europe, MacArthur in Japan. America has
some secrets. We had decided to starve German POWs to death. Some
estimate the deaths at 1.5 million. At least 800,000 died as POWs.
Moreover, as
many as 6 million ethnic Germans, between 1945 and 1950 were murdered
systematically, both “east” and “west” or systematically starved to
death. This is not reported.
Remember
General Patton? He was made Governor General of Occupied Germany.
He turned out daily dairy entries which are a horrific embarrassment. At
one point he noted that, as the Russians advanced into Germany, 3.5 million
German/Jewish refugees followed them, demanding homes in Germany.
Ike
ordered Patton to remove Germans
from the homes still standing and to house the 3.5 million Jewish refugees, all
of whom at been listed as killed in concentration camps. It is illegal to say
more about this, at least from the direction the next sentence should go.
That’s ok, the Mossad
assassinated Patton in late 1945, a not very well kept secret, as part of a
program that included killing both American and British leaders. This is
all over the internet, different versions. Choose one you like, everyone
else does.
Ike’s job was to destroy
Germany, the nation Patton pointed out would be the lynch pin of
Europe, the only nation according to Patton worth saving. To this
day there is little left of Germany and yet, with what little they have, we
see what they have done. Today’s Germany, however, is still tightly
controlled by Bolsheviks, a story best told by others.
Today we are
talking about Ike. Kids today are taught that growing up in America under
Eisenhower, president from 1953 to 1961, was a dream. I grew up under
Eisenhower, grew up in Detroit. It was everything but “a dream.”
For Ike’s
entire presidency, America was in economic free fall. Technology stood
still, nothing was invested in education or technology. Cars in 1953 were
cars in 1961, most parts were interchangeable. Life expectancy was flat
or falling, poverty levels soared and the South literally rotted.
Poverty
levels in Southern or Border states was unbelievable, a land of tenant farmers, of shacks,
of barefoot children, of race hatred and segregation, of malnutrition and
suffering.
“My
mother and her siblings all did this in the 1930′s”… Jim W. Dean
Ike
returned conditions of the darkest years of the Great Depression to most of America. Cities
decayed, air and water were poisoned, human rights ignored, the door was closed
on a generation that was soon to be eradicated in Vietnam, those without
the right connections, that is. Ike was all about injustice. Ike
was all about killing the US.
Let’s look at
a few national security issues. At the end of World War II, Germany had
developed guided missiles, anti-gravity flight (now declassified), assault
rifles and endless scientific achievements that cable TV channels are busy
reporting on daily.
America went
into the Vietnam War with the M 14, a rehash of the excellent Garand
“heavy battle rifle,” almost totally useless in jungle warfare. That’s
ok, we had worse problems. In Europe, where we faced a
massive Soviet/Eastern Bloc military, we had no decent battle tank.
We were still using tanks developed at the end of the war.
We also went into Vietnam
without a functioning fighter aircraft. Nothing we made maneuvered or had
a cannon on it. We could bomb and run away and hope we weren’t shot down
but had nothing that performed close to the Mig 17 or
21. America went out of her way to make certain our Air Forces, we
have 3 of them, were using useless aircraft incapable of performing any
potential mission, unless you count a repeat of flattening unprotected German
cities filled with refugees.
Did I mention
nuclear submarines? Our submarine program, led by Admiral Rickover,
was more than a decade behind Russia. Their subs were faster,
larger, and much more capable. Our program was sabotaged.
How about
America’s space program? German’s brought America, under Operation
Paperclip, designs for advanced missiles and manned space vehicles. All
of the technology that took Apollo to the moon was there in 1945. When
Ike left office, America had gone backwards for more than a decade, barely
capable of duplicating Hitler’s early missile tests. A few years later,
with Ike gone, we were on the moon, using 1945 technology that, strangely
enough, we no longer have.
Because
our tanks were outdated our early Cold War strategy was based on tactical nukes
America
couldn’t put a ten pound satellite in orbit, was unable to orbit a chimp, could barely get
anything off a launch pad while the Germans were, decades before, beginning to
enter production with ICBM’s capable of hitting American cities. Do
you think any of them would have exploded on the launch pad?
What America
did have were allies. Here is what they got us: In Latin and
Central America, communists were well on the way to control everything.
Communists controlled most of the new nations in Africa as well.
While Israel
was secretly aligned with Russia, the US held Iran, backing a hated
dictatorship, while the other nations of the Middle East moved toward Russia,
Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq and, of course India.
Yes, India is
not part of the Middle East but, as the leader of the non-aligned states, was
always close to the Soviets while the US backed Pakistan, but not very
well. The US was never a very good friend to Pakistan.
In Asia, Laos,
Vietnam, Cambodia, Burma and, on and off, Indonesia, the Philippines, all
“in play.” We kept a disarmed Japan as a client state, subsidizing their
economy which would later crush ours.
When Ike left
office, America was besieged around the world, continent after continent, with
no missiles, junk weapons, a crumbling industrial base, failing education,
racial divides and cities falling into ruin.
DDT was in
everything, it snowed brown across much of the nation, sulphur in everything.
American culture was ruled by be-bop rock and roll, game shows and a burgeoning
pornography industry. Working conditions in factories were unbearable, men
dying at machines in their 40s with millions lining up for a chance to do the same.
Free
Ride
Ike gets a
free ride. His failure to lose World War II, a man who never saw a
day of combat, who lived in luxury, shacked up with his driver, has made him an
untouchable national hero. For those who remember his presidency, it was typified
by his personal cowardice. When Senator “Joe” McCarthy called Ike’s
mentor, General George Marshall a communist, Ike was silent.
Ike’s solution
in the Korean War still hangs around our necks, a war few will ever understand,
particularly as more and more revelations come to light about China’s
revolutionary leader Mao and his “backdoor” allegiance to Ike’s “friends.”
There are sick
conspiracy theories about an imaginary group called Majestic and the role Ike
is said to have played in an equally imaginary “science fiction” surrender to
an alien race in 1953. All of that is hogwash, nothing of the kind has
ever existed.
So what if
there never were landings in North Africa or Sicily and the US went straight
into France in May 1943, stronger and better supplied, while the Germans were
fighting well into Russia with extended lines. Why let real military
stuff interfere when TV fiction has always sufficed.
Ike had to
make sure Germany was destroyed and to do that, America had to be smashed over
and over until Russia could finally come into Germany on their own. Add
the supplies and men of North Africa, Sicily, Italy, of Monty’s “ghost
offensives” and Market Garden.
In November
1943, when Patton would have entered Berlin, Russia was still fighting over Kiev.
The US landings and Patton’s drives would have drawn off forces allowing Russia
to have proceeded to the Polish border, perhaps even half way to Warsaw.
Instead of
Germany being divided, it may well have been Poland. There would have
been no Iron Curtain, no need for NATO, no Eastern Bloc for Stalin to rally to
his cause, no basis whatsoever for a Cold War.
From a
military standpoint, America’s handling of Europe in World War 2 was
insane. Frankly, MacArthur’s landings in the Philippines were as delusional.
He was still fighting there and New Guinea, when the war ended, with endless
thousands of Americans killed over objectives any rational commander would have
bypassed. MacArthur seemed to have the same friends Ike and Monty and
Stalin and Mao had.
What Ike did
to the Allies in World War II, he did to America as well.
What Ike did
to Germany is unspeakable. The books are out there, no figure of German
civilians murdered under 1.5 million, no figure of military dead much
less. In fact, nothing we know of World War II history can be
trusted. A simple reading about the Anzio landings in Italy, with a bit
of objectivity added for balance, clearly demonstrates how hard certain groups
very close to centers of power, call them “banking” or “illuminati” or
whatever, worked to see to it that the worst war in history would never end,
and it hasn’t.
