Democracy- THINK

Democracy- THINK! We can see in this extract from a Must read- Must purchase book among a series of book by Edwin Black which needed to be purchased and studied; We can see how extremely urgent and powerful movements were in the year of 1933- In New York urgently attempting to over throw the newly minted Nazi administration in Germany. And in an earlier blog series ‘The Myth of America’ I examined several hundred years of highly perceptive visitors to USA who could see and made predictions based upon the flaws they could see in the way USA was developing. While this blog begins 400 years ago in the outer reaches of New York and discusses what could be the fatal flaw of the foundation of Empire State perfectly preserved in some of the original inhabitants of East Hampton. Therefore in terms of philosophy I am as always attempting to get you to –THINK (Thankyou IBM) at a number of different levels and encouraging those reading this with some religious background or agenda to consider it the Chief Jew- Matthew 7:23- if saying we know him or look forward to his appearance- we may well find that what we do and what he does is entirely different. But here the at any one time having lived or living in the tenements of Lower Eastside- The migrant supporting Democrats protestors are attempting change in respect of a developing Holocaust. And for those who have studied Empire State history and tactics based out of Albany and Wall St with mansions on Long Island know that the Republicans who tend to be silent except when they use their considerable economic power to push public opinion-especially in Middle America and on the West Coast- And who literally rule the world at times out of New York performing spectacular stunts such as a Rockefeller funded John Mott and friends getting Trotsky out of New York and back to St Petersburg and Moscow in time for Communist Revolution! Well living and working in a democracy- But as a believer in God have never committed to nor put my faith in democracy. Instead as a student of government and business I watch with interest those who manipulate or attempt to manipulate the political systems and public opinion- And my answer to that? Psalm 2. OK! ‘At the time when Watson was organizing his plans to set sail on the Bremen August 29 1933, the New York times in a page one article, reported the existence of sixty- five brutal concentration camps holding some 45,000 Jews and non Jewish inmates.. a total of 90,000 held… Although anti-German protest marches, picket lines, boycotts and noisy demands to stop the atrocities were in full swing on every continent of the world, nowhere would the protest have appeared more omnipresent than to a businessman in New York City. In New York the air burned with Anti Nazi agitation. All sectors of society- from labor unions to business leaders, from Catholic Bishops to Protestant deacons to defiant Rabbis- rallied behind the battle cry that humanity must starve Depression battered Germany into abandoning her anti Semitic course. ‘Germany will crack this winter’ read the placards and the leaflets…. New York and Thomas Watson had never seen anything like it. From the windows of IBM at 270 Broadway, the massive demonstration was an unmistakable message: ‘Don’t do business with Hitler’. Moreover boycott leaders promised vigilant retaliation for any American that did…. The stakes must have been high for Watson to disregard the gargantuan protest of a nation, and the world’s battle cry to isolate Germany commercially. But IBM maintained its steadfast commitment to an alliance with Nazi Germany… Germans understood Watson to be a friend of the Reich p83-85 IBM and the Holocaust.

  1. Please let me deb-use you of any belief that I have a do nothing approach to politics in spite of never seeing Democracy as a workable or viable system. New Zealands first woman Prime Minister was a right wing take over of the National Party and party conservatives such as myself believed her to be despite her profile of being a Christian to be insincere. Thus John Dawson's mum and her praying intercessor friends took seriously PM Shipley attending the Auckland Gay Hero Parade- and prayed. And that night the electric power system for that city collapsed jst as the parade ended and the weakness of the political ideology in respect of public services being privatised was clearly apparent as the power could not restored to the nations largest city for weeks. If in Jan 1933 when Hitler was moving into power in Germany the Germans or those in New York had desperately prayed and cried out to God instead of big business and conservatives saying 'It is alright we can control this man' then things would have developed differently.... Look I hate being a prophet saying Holocaust is coming- what is that crap tjhe christain radio quote from the bible- If my people are called by name will humble themselves and pray.. In the 1964 Time Life America book the photographer visited a Pentecostal church and took pictures of the entire congregation on its knees praying- And now we stand and clap- Take this seriously- pray- the most effective political action and God will hear and he will answer not to stop Holocaust because the prophets said it- but to save your life and Your family and people- shalom
