Silence = Acceptance

Cross posted by Findalis of Monkey in the Middle I have been sitting in front of my computer for the last week wondering what the hell is going on with the world. Each day I see more and more evidence of the hatred and bigotry associated with "The Religion of Peace", and not one elected official or member of the media speak out in horror of what they have seen and heard. Their silence is deafening. The supporters of murderers take to the streets and the media covers them. What they don't show the public is the level of hatred that these hordes spew at all times. Scenes like this do not make it on to the nightly news:

I could post hundreds of videos like these, but you get the point. The world does nothing to counter this. And it frightens me. I know this frightens many elder Jews. Men and women who suffered the horrors of the Holocaust. They remember how that started, they remember the songs and chants of hatred, and where it led. The Holocaust didn't start with Dachau and Auschwitz, it ended there. It didn't start with World War 2, that war ended it. It started with an idea. That was all. An idea to rid the world of all people who were Jewish. How they did it is a lesson in hate. It happened in 4 stages. Stage 1: Propaganda It started first with a media campaign. With cartoons and articles depicting Jews as less then human. The Nazis had to win over the hearts and minds of the German people. And it was through the media of the time: Print, radio, and film that they were to accomplish it.
A fine example of media manipulation by the Nazis.
As you can see by the above example, Jews are depicted as lazy and unGerman. Exactly the idea the Nazis wanted to show. And in today's media anti-Semitic cartoons are again being shown. Not just in the Muslim world where they are acceptable, but here in the United States and in Europe.
This one was printed in many major newspapers in the US, Canada and Europe.
Already the media has joined the bigots in their campaign. The print media has already started the process in 1990 and the rest of the media (Conservative radio withstanding) is jumping on the band wagon. It is already to blame Israel and more importantly Jews for all the evils in the world. That is the message the majority of people in the West are hearing day and night from the media. It is becoming their mantra, their motto. And the majority of people in the West are like sheep. They are easily led and manipulated. Stage 1 is well underway. On to Stage 2. Stage 2: Protests and Riots Stage 2 is the "People's Uprising" part of the operation. In this supposed average citizens (and in the case of German: Brownshirts) take to the streets in protests. These protests get more and more violent over the weeks, months or years, culminating in the ultimate protest of all: The Riot (in Germany Kristallnacht). Again we are seeing the middle part of Stage 2. So-called "citizen protests" in every major city in the world. Many are turning violent. In London and Paris there have been riots.
Riot in London
This is just the beginning. The protests all over the world will get more and more violent and will be attacking more and more Israeli and Jewish businesses and people. Governments will have to cave into the demands of the rioters in order to have peace. There is just one problem. Their demands lead directly to Stages 3 and 4. By this time the government is able to start their "Final Solution" without any subterfuge. They will eliminate the rabble crowd from public view (In Germany Hitler destroyed the Brownshirts) and can operated openly with public support in many cases. Stage 3: Deportation The government will begin the round up of their Jewish population to place them in safe areas. This now can be done openly and with great fanfare if the government wishes. The people will be placed in special areas with a city (as in the Warsaw Ghetto) or special areas in their nation (as in various Indian Reservations or Japanese Interment Camps). If people complain about it, they either mysteriously disappear or are brought up on false charges. If a group starts to complain about what is happening, they are reminded that these people are being relocated for their own protection.

The majority population either doesn't care or is openly supportive of the action being taken. Sometimes governments stop here. They either do not have the immorality in them to take the last step, or enough public outcry stops them from taking the last step. Stage 4: Genocide. It is a very small step to go from the rounding up of people to the mass execution of people. A very small step. This step is normally done without the public's knowledge and with a total or almost total media blackout. For if the general public ever found out about the slaughter of innocent people, they would be so horrified that they might not be easily controlled by the government. In Turkey the government rounded up millions of Armenians and slaughtered them by shootings, starvation, and illness.

In Germany at the start of the Holocaust, the Germans had a 2-fold idea. Starvation and mobile killing units (Einsatzgruppen). This units would dig a big ditch or pit, have the Jews rounded up, many times they would force the people to strip, then line the up and shoot them. At Babi Yar more than 34,000 men, women and children were murdered over a 2 day period.

But that was too inefficient and slow. The final step in the perfect genocide is the creation of "special death camps". Places where the only object is to kill your fellow man. The names of Auschwitz, Treblinka, Sobibór, Bełżec, Chełmno, and Majdanek jump out at you. They speak of untold horror and death. They are the end result in what started with Stage 1.

Already we are seeing the first 2 stages of the road to genocide being played out in the world. There is the media accepting as truth the propaganda and lies coming from the Muslim world, accepting without any questions. And there is the "People's Uprisings" being played all over the world. Already Stage 2 is progressing to riots and beatings. If left unchecked these riots will become worse and there will be murders associated with them. And what do we have to combat it? Very little. We have bloggers who try and spread the truth about what is happening. We have a few conservative speakers on the radio trying to spread the truth. But we have mostly silence. Silence from elected officials too scared of those who are rioting to anger them further and silence from the media, too afraid of losing their viewers. And thus has begun. I know many voices on the right who claim that this cannot happen again, that they will not allow it. But how many of them would actually lay down their lives to prevent it? It is one thing to say you will not allow it, but another to actually have to take a stand and prevent it. Each day I am reminded of the words of Edmund Burke, 1729-1797, British statesman and philosopher, who wrote:
"Evil flourishes when good men do nothing."
I pray that this time the good men and women will do something to stop it.
