Friends of Padre Steve’s World,
Just over a week before his invasion of Poland, Adolf Hitler told his assembled Generals and Admirals, many of who opposed the invasion, not due to any moral principle, or love for the people of Poland:
“I will provide a propagandistic casus belli. Its credibility doesn’t matter. The victor will not be asked whether he told the truth”
On the night of 31 August, 1939, Hitler’s SS, SD, and Abwehr conducted an operation designed to convince the German people that Poland had attacked Germany, thus justifying the invasion of Poland. The operation did nothing to change the minds of anyone else, but Hitler knew that he needed the absolute support of the German people in order to wage his wars of aggression, conquest, and genocide.
The head of the operation was SS Captain Alfred Naujocks, under the Orders Of Heinrich Himmler and Reinhard Heydrich. Naujocks testified to it at the Nuremberg Trials. The SS and SD organized it using their own personnel, and concentration camp inmates from Dachau dressed in Polish Army uniforms and equipment supplied by the Abwehr, the German military intelligence service. The concentration camp inmates were poisoned, and their dead bodies shot to appear that they had been killed attacking the radio station. Their faces were also disfigured in order to prevent proper identification. SD men, fluent in Polish broadcast anti-German propaganda from the station before disappearing. The SS and SD orchestrated other incidents along the German-Polish border to further perpetrate that the Poles had attacked Germany first.
The following morning the German military, followed by SS Einsatzgruppen invaded Poland, free to do so because Hitler had entered into a non-aggression pact with Stalin just days before. Pursuant to that the Soviets invaded eastern Poland on September 17th, dividing Poland between the Germans and Soviets.
In his declaration of war against Poland he blamed the Poles for the situation and went back to the Treaty of Versailles. In the declaration he lied repeatedly. He noted:
I must declare that I accepted this proposal, and I worked out a basis for these negotiations which are known to you. For two whole days I sat in my Government and waited to see whether it was convenient for the Polish Government to send a plenipotentiary or not. Last night they did not send us a plenipotentiary, but instead informed us through their Ambassador that they were still considering whether and to what extent they were in a position to go into the British proposals. The Polish Government also said that they would inform Britain of their decision.
Deputies, if the German Government and its Leader patiently endured such treatment Germany would deserve only to disappear from the political stage. But I am wrongly judged if my love of peace and my patience are mistaken for weakness or even cowardice. I, therefore, decided last night and informed the British Government that in these circumstances I can no longer find any willingness on the part of the Polish Government to conduct serious negotiations with us.
These proposals for mediation have failed because in the meanwhile there, first of all, came as an answer the sudden Polish general mobilization, followed by more Polish atrocities. These were again repeated last night. Recently in one night there were as many as twenty-one frontier incidents: last night there were fourteen, of which three were quite serious. I have, therefore, resolved to speak to Poland in the same language that Poland for months past has used toward us. This attitude on the part of the Reich will not change.
I am not a conspiracy theorist, and what the Germans orchestrated on August 31st 1939 is a historic fact. Likewise, I don’t believe that 9-11-2001 was a false flag operation, despite the subsequent actions of the Bush administration in Iraq. However, when any country is led My a man and administration that shamelessly uses propaganda, falsehoods, and outright lies to justify its policies, one cannot be surprised if that government resorts to false flag operations in order to justify its policies, and military actions.
Since President Trump is a habitual liar, and exhibits the complete behaviors of a narcissistic sociopath, we can expect the worst in the coming months, in diplomacy, economic warfare in the form of tariffs, and even potential war with Iran, North Korea, or even China.
I do hope that I am wrong about all of this, but I am afraid as the President mentally, and emotionally, devolves in front of us that any or all of these possibilities are in play. I want to be wrong because if I am right, the disaster which befalls us will be to great to imagine.
Until tomorrow,
Peace,
Padre Steve+
