Screamers
-
-
Some days my soul cries out with such anger, such passion, that it can not be silenced... it can not find satisfaction. It needs to know that the world has seen its sins cast upon a banner raised for all to see. It needs to know that all others have been made to bear witness to the perverted crimes of their fellow man. It needs to scream.

I urge all of you to see this film. I urge all of you to be Screamers.
"Hell, No Better Word Can Describe It..."
The Liberation of Dachau.
"Lieber Gott, mach mich dumm, damit ich nicht nach Dachau kumm"
Dear God, make me dumb, that I may not to Dachau come. That was the short little song that many German children were taught. They seemed willing to forget that this camp was meant for the "enemies of the Reich... the Jews.
It is a known fact that common Germans, not of Jewish or Roma decent, were also sent to Dachau. They went their for reasons that the song above hints at. They knew too much, they talked too much, they didn't give the Hitler salute just right... for whatever reason they could end up in Dachau. They could die with the Jews.
The purpose for building Dachau is also a well known fact. To prepare the first true death camp. To make the model for all others that would follow. It was a prototype in many ways. In other ways it was its own unique corner of Hell itself.
The prisoners sent to Dachau could expect to be forced into hard labour, work designed to bring about a slow death, and then in the end be forced to push their predecessors' corpses into the camp's furnaces. By the time this camp was liberated by the United States Army on April 29Th of 1945 the permanent smell of death lingered in the air about it. The scent of burnt human hair and singed flesh seemed to permeate the very bricks that built the camp crematoriums.
In March of 1933 the Dachau furnaces were ignited and would not be extinguished till the camps liberation. In the beginning of the camp's existence it was mainly political opponents of the Nazi party that would be sacrificed to the fires of Dachau. This changed as the Nazis began their drive to exterminate the Jewish population of Germany and the newly occupied territories. By the end of the camp's existence there would be a larger number of Poles being fed to Dachau's fires than any other ethnic group.
Officially there were around 200 sub camps that reported to and supported the operations of Dachau. Most were camps where weapons and ammunition were constructed with the use of slave labour. Others were sites where the overflow of dead were burnt. All however were linked to the main camp through the use of trails or "Green Toms" (trucks used to gas prisoners on their way to the crematoriums).
As the war drew to an end more and more prisoners were being transported from outlying camps of the crumbling Third Reich. In late April of 1945 the last train from the soon to be liberated camp of Buchenwald arrived. Of the 4,800 prisoners on the train only 800 were received alive. The corpses of those who had died or been shot in transit were left on or around the train till the 5Th Army of the United States arrived.
On April 28Th the head of the camp, Camp Commandant Martin Gottfried Weiss abandoned his post and fled as the United States Army approached. History is kinder than I am to this cowardice Nazi. It is clear to me that Martin Gottfried Weiss did not simply fear capture but had left the SS Totenkopfverbande (Death's Head Unit) to destroy the camp and its prisoners as he and his loyal camp guards fled for Berlin. His orders were clear... kill them all.
(7Th Army Soldiers force Hitler Youth boys to examine the trains they helped to deliver to Dachau)
Late in the day the SS Commander Heinrich Wicker finally surrendered Dachau to the United States Army. From the report that was issued it is clear that Heinrich Wicker believed that the United States would pick up where the Nazis had left off. This is why he left his SS soldier with guns facing in on the remaining prisoners of Dachau.
"As we moved down along the west side of the concentration camp and approached the southwest corner, three people approached down the road under a flag of truce. We met these people about 75 yards north of the southwest entrance to the camp. These three people were a Swiss Red Cross representative and two SS troopers who said they were the camp commander and assistant camp commander and that they had come into the camp on the night of the 28Th to take over from the regular camp personnel for the purpose of turning the camp over to the advancing Americans. The Swiss Red Cross representative acted as interpreter and stated that there were about 100 SS guards in the camp who had their arms stacked except for the people in the tower. He said he had given instructions that there would be no shots fired and it would take about 50 men to relieve the guards, as there were 42,000 half-crazed prisoners of war in the camp, many of them typhus infected. He asked if I were an officer of the American army, to which I replied, "Yes, I am Assistant Division Commander of the 42ND Division and will accept the surrender of the camp in the name of the Rainbow Division for the American army."
Officially it is noted that the Seventh United States Army had liberated the death camp of Dachau. However it is commonly believed that units of the Fifth United States Army had been the first to enter Dachau and its outlying camps. In either case the camp's operations were put to an end and the Nazi SS soldiers were lined against the walls of Dachau and shot. No trial was needed for these dogs. No need for forgiveness for these worthless soulless monsters.
Army records report that only about fifty SS soldiers were shot that day. Other reports show that the number could have been 120 to 520 SS soldiers. These numbers are hard to accept since their was fewer than 300 SS soldiers manning Dachau and its surrounding camps when it was surrendered. In any case they should all have been shot as they knelt before their former prisoners. May their souls rot in Hell.
Trials of those who remained after the days that followed the surrender of the camp began in November of 1945. The coward SS Commander Martin Gottfried Weiss was hung as a result of these trials.
Today we should remember the heroic acts of our boys in arms. We should recall their bravery in coming face to face with the greatest evil our nation has faced in its history. And we should be proud of their reaction to it... the bloodying of evil men.
May we also keep in mind the fates of those who perished at Dachau and its supporting camps. We should never forget what was done as the world turned its eyes away from the suffering of innocent men and women. We should honestly and without exception finally be able to say "Never Again".

Out of Sight, Out of Mind
-
-
France has once again begun its racist agenda of deporting its Romani population. It still insist that the Roma it is deporting are citizens of Romania. However it is doubtful that French authorities aren't taking advantage of the opportunity to deport as many of the French Roma as possible. And thus the numbers of Roma being flown out of France may be rather disproportionate to the numbers of Roma who immigrated from Romania when the borders opened.
-
This time around it does not appear that the UN or the EU will offer any resistance to the mass deportations. Instead it appears that the EU in particular is offering its support by refusing to condemn the racist agenda proposed by France.
-
Yesterday also marked the start of the rather prejudice burqa ban laws in France. And much like the Roma deportations, the EU is just ignoring the Islamiphobia currently growing if France.
-
So where are things going from here?
-
It is my opinion that the Roma, much like they were used in World War Two Germany, are being used to measure the resistance of the populace to racist based socialism. Obviously France is already a liberal socialist society but up until the past ten years or so they hadn't be moving toward national socialism as represented by the Hitler ideology.
-
Yet as we all know from history, it is a slippery slope from good intentions to the Hell that Stalin and Hitler thrusted upon the world in the 1930s. Socialist agendas such as "free health care" were perfected when the first victims of the holocaust were slaughtered... when Hitler had the "mentally ill" or handicapped killed, some even were gassed in the same manner as the Jews in Auschwitz. Nationalist agendas were perfected when Hitler then had the first wave of "social undesirables" deported.
-
One of those two has already been accomplished by the current French government. The other usually comes hand in hand with the step France has already taken. So that brings me to the question of why France is hiding its reasons for targeting a particular group of "social undesirables"?
-
Are they simply having a dress rehearsal or is France just stumbling into a historically flawed version of government? Is France becoming ethnocentric and rather xenophobic or is France just trying to cope with the economic and political environment of the day?
-
In either case it isn't working out for France's Romani population. This is an unlawful targeting and racistly motivated attack upon the freedoms France promised these immigrants. It is also an attempt to rid France of its centuries old population of Roma along with the new comers from Eastern Europe. And it seems that the world is just going to stand back and watch... much like we did when Stalin purged his country of its "enemies".

"Peace! Rule of Law! No fascists!"
And the Jack-Boots Go Marching On...
-
-
And on... and on...
-
The Roma of Hejoszalonta united against the storm troopers the Magyar Garda. With their community linked arm in arm they shouted "Peace! Rule of Law! No Fascists!". And yet the black uniformed Jobbik army still went marching on.
-
Stomping their jack-boots and lifting torches the neo-Nazi army stormed the village of 850, only 350 of which are Roma. Their angry tone was amplified in the blaring of their heavy metal rock music. The sound of the bass drum mocked the sound of war drums as the "Magyars" attempted to spread terror amongst their intended victims.
-
In March the Jobbik party had organized a larger march in Gyongyospata where around 3,000 of the black shirts raised their torches and whips. There they had marched up and down the village streets as they shouted their anti-Semitic and anti Roma chants. All in the name of Nationalistic pride.
-
"Jobbik were deliberately provoking them. Parents held the teenagers back because the fascists wanted an excuse to attack. It would have been a bloodbath," an observer noted in Hejoszalonta. Had the Roma youth been allowed to lash out the battle would have been a "bloodbath". The homes of Roma and suspected Roma would have been set ablaze. The women and children would have been beaten to an inch of their lives and their men shot. This is how Jobbik treats Hungarian Roma.
-
When Roma and Human Rights Activist petitioned the government to form a "human chain" between the Magyar Garda and the Roma houses the government forbid them to do so. Instead they allowed the Jobbik clan to march right up to the Romany houses with torches ready. Armed men with fire in hand were allowed to terrorize the Roma children held captive behind chicken wire.
-
In the past Hungary and much of the Eastern Block nations have witnessed and participated in pogroms that start much like the scenario listed above (thankfully this one ended without bloodshed). Jobbik and its Magyar Garda allies have committed such acts of genocidal ferocity. Men, women, and children are all considered "targets" simply because they are Rom.
-
Most of the time these scenes end with Roma houses being burnt out. In the Czech Republic these scenes end with a Roma body found filled with holes. In Romania these scenes end with a Roma boy found bloody face down in a muddy river. Yet Jobbik still seems capable of holding its seats in Hungarian government?
-
This sort of fascist behaviour can not be rewarded by the outside world. Other European countries need to apply pressure on Hungary and force change in its ever leaning right culture (but most of them too are leaning the same direction these days). And most of all, America needs to be more vocal in its defense of what we consider to be inalienable human rights. We need to condemn these kind of acts where ever and whenever they occur... regardless of who is committing them.

Civil society resistance to Nazis rising in Hungary
From Romea.cz
-
-
First joint protests held by anti-racism NGOs
-
Last Saturday the Hungarian opposition Jobbik party held a demonstration against alleged "Gypsy terror" in the settlement of Hejoszalonta, roughly 150 km to the east of Budapest. Hungarian civil society confronted the demonstration.
-
Roughly 600 sympathizers and MPs of the neo-Nazi Jobbik party met in Hejoszalonta. The party won 17 % of the votes in last year's parliamentary elections, the first time it has ever held seats in the Hungarian Parliament. Some demonstrators were wearing uniforms of the Hungarian Guard, an organization which the courts have dissolved for its similarity to the Hungarian fascist brigades in operation at the end of the Second World War. The Hungarian Guard, like the dissolved Workers' Party in the Czech Republic, has been exacerbating inter-ethnic relationships in society for years. Their agitation eventually led to homicidal attacks against Roma people during which a minimum of nine people, some of them children, died and dozens of people have been injured, some of them severely. After the Hungarian Guard was dissolved, alternative organizations immediately sprang up with names such as the "New National Guard" or "Hungarian Crew".
-
At the rally, Jobbik representatives also criticized the government's economic policy. The governing Fidesz party, in their view, has become the party of the rich. Hungarian MP Marton Szegedi (Jobbik) told the rally: "They take absolutely no care of the ordinary farmer in this country.”
-
Organizations for the protection of civil and human rights, such as Amnesty International, organized a counter-demonstration last Saturday. In their call for a counter-demonstration, they declared that "it is not possible to pronounce Roma people the generators of all evil. It is unacceptable for various extremists to attempt to take justice into their own hands." They also demand an end to the discrimination of Roma in the country.
-
Agnes Daroczi, a Roma political writer and chair of the Roma association Pralipe, speaking in front of roughly 150 counter-demonstrators on Saturday, said: "Many of us are terribly poor only because we were born Roma. We need a color-blind policy that will reach those on the fringes of society."
-
Ilonka Balogh, a Roma woman from Hejoszalonta, was aghast at the fact that police did not prevent the neo-Nazi gathering from taking place near her home and feared for her family's safety. Jozsef Anderko, the mayor of the village who unwillingly permitted Jobbik to hold the gathering there, admitted that pickpocketing is a problem in Hejoszalonta, but generally evaluated relations among people in the village as good.
-
A tutor from the local school who is an ethnic Hungarian also participated in Saturday's neo-Nazi march. Roma women from the village are now drafting a petition to have her removed from her position. "At the nursery school, 90 % of the children are Roma. It is not appropriate that she teach there now," Ilonka Balogh said.
-
The Jobbik party is demanding that authorities keep files on so-called Roma criminality. According to party representatives, members of the Roma minority are the main cause of increased crime in the countryside. Other parliamentary parties have now jointly taken a strong exception to the Jobbik demands for the first time ever.
-
Hungarian Guard brigades also recently marched through Gyöngyöspat, a village in the northeast of the country. For more than two weeks they literally terrorized Roma inhabitants there, who stopped leaving their homes or sending their children to school as a result. Under pressure from police and protests from abroad, they eventually had to end their marches. This is the first time representatives of various civic associations have met to protest these racist actions.
-
Amnesty International and other organizations from around the world demanded of the Hungarian government in March that it better ensure security for members of the Roma minority. At the end of March, the trial began in Budapest of four men charged with organizing a minimum of nine homicidal attacks on Roma families throughout the entire country in 2008-09.
-
This coming Saturday, the Czech political party DSSS is organizing a similar march in the North Bohemian village of Krupka. Various civic associations are organizing counter-demonstration
