The irony of course is that it is not the Germans but the Anglo-American banks and the global monied interests that have perfected and employed this modern financial warfare, again and again, around the world for the last forty years or more. They have been using debt, money, and the subversion of democratic law to take down whole countries, wage wars of plunder and aggression, create puppet governments, and reduce people everywhere to misery.
Their motto is 'greed is good' and 'der Wille zur Macht.' And they are the terror that spawns the madness, the children of Hell on earth.
"What most occupied the attention of the State Department [in 1934] was the outstanding German debt to American creditors. It was a strange juxtaposition. In Germany there was blood, viscera, and gunfire; at the State Department in Washington, there were white shirts [of the wealthy career diplomats and career politicians], Hull's red pencils, and mounting frustration with [Ambassador] Dodd to press America's case [for full payment of the sovereign German debt]…
In Berlin, Dodd was unmoved. He thought it pointless to pursue full payment, because Germany simply did not have the money, and there were far more important issues at stake…
Through his first year in Germany [1933], Dodd had been struck again and again by the strange indifference to atrocity that had settled over the nation, the willingness of the populace and the moderate elements in the government to accept each new oppressive decree, each new act of violence, without protest…
Dodd continued to hope that the murders would so outrage the German public that the regime would fall, but as the days passed he saw no evidence of any such outpouring of anger…"

"Struggle is the father of all things. It is not by the principles of humanity that man lives or is able to preserve himself in the animal world, but solely by means of the most brutal struggle…I do not see why man should not be just as cruel as nature…Success is the sole earthly judge of right and wrong…The day of individual happiness has passed.
The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it."
