I agree and appreciate much of this article, except I would not classify WWII French Resistance, Soviet and Tito's Partisans as necessarily terrorists. All three countries (regardless of the internal situations and leaders) were invaded by the NAZIS and they had a right to defend by most any means. To the Nazis they were Terrorists because they often used terror tactics against the regime in control, which the NAZIS also often used and worse against the people. One of the Best TV series I ever saw is: A French Village. Set in WWII in French with subtitles. It very well demonstrated the situations, angst, choices, repercussions, good and evil for both the French and the Germans. There were plenty of good French and Germans and a few psychos too. I think there were 7 seasons.
As far as the French resistance goes, from stories told to me by those in the know, there was also the settling of old scores which had little to do with the war.
In the Dordogne, on the road that descends to the village of Urval, there was an abandoned house which belonged to a doctor who was also a bibliophile. Someone, suspected by the Resistance of being pro German, was shot. Wounded he went to the doctor who removed the bullet. The Resistance barricaded the the doctor in his house and set it on fire, burning him to death. Did he deserve it?
Thanks, firstly I live in France so am acquainted with these type of stories and secondly I gave up watching movies years and years ago.
Movies = Enter-tain-ment =Enter (to enter) tain (to hold, maintain)ment (pertaining to mental,mind). = To enter into your mind and hold on to it. It is through entertainment in all it's forms that we are brainwashed by those who control medias.
Lucky you. I'm not a tv guy either but I bought and watched all seasons. I don't need a lecture on entertainment as I dropped sports and most all forms decades ago so I had time to pursue TRUTH. I'm sure you do know some things from people there as do I. However just because some Resistance members did bad things does not mean they are all rotten and there were many factions of Resistance. In the end they were fighting the aggressor, just like the Palestinians. Obviously not all or likely even not most of regular German military were bad and most seemed to have treated civilians well.
Forgive me if you felt I was lecturing you. I thought I was just passing on information of which few are aware.
Having "woken up" some time after 9/11, I began my pursuit of truth which continues to this day. A long, lonely and depressing journey which is hardly good for ones health.
Frankly, I regret that I had not been more sportive and spent more time out in nature, I may have avoided the health problems that bug me today.
No problem Joy as obviously your heart is in the right place. My story is similar as I was always different then the crowd and 911 Awaken me fast. I was a few miles away on the NJ seaport side.
It sure is a long hard journey with side-effects but in the end much better than being under illusions. I kid around with those who know me with: "It be a whole lot easier for me if I drank Bud, ate pork rinds and watched Sports and TV for enjoyment! In reality I don't drink or eat meat as I found it blocks awareness.
I read and study about 30 hours per week while having a more than full time job.
Thank you for your apology and it is appreciated because for 23 years I am not tricked by the Entertainment world.
(Katya here.) Thanks so much to Michael, for in bringing up my comment to the previous post, he shines a light on authors Irving and Barnouw, who would bear witness to his statement, "It is inauthentic for people to claim that Hoffman's insights are necessary to see these crimes and the theologically-based racism that drives them." We all have this; it is the Neoplatonic Hermetical Kabbalism that has infiltrated our souls through our history. "These facts are in the open. They constitute the civic magic of the Revelation of the Method." Hiding in plain sight.
"What does this signify? It betokens knowing and not doing," that leads to murder of mind and spirit and makes us complicit in genocide. This is the double-mindedness of the epistle of St James. The willful ignorance that is a crime and a sin for which Dante reserves a circle in Hell.
A quote from my favorite doctor: "For decades [Hoffman would say centuries] we have been conned into studying deceit." And what is the caduceus, symbol of medicine since the first world war, but the staff of Hermes in front of our eyes?
"Remember, remember the Fifth of November" -- Guy Fawkes Day. May the Prince of the Heavenly Hosts helps us reclaim ourselves in the Imago Dei from the grasp of Hell.

I'm sure lots of that happened Joy. Please watch A French Village as it covers that and so many aspects.

Words have meanings, as Crrow777 often says.

Thank you, so insightful about how the collective is changed and "hardened" while believing they are doing good.
Referring to the final paragraph of Michael's current post: Hence, the choice between two tyrannies in the upcoming election.
