I can relate to that: after all, a nation and its power elites are often very out of touch with each other (and each other’s best interests). As a German, I can testify 🙂

But you, Sir or Ma’am, seem to be able to do the same. Thank you 🙂

The consequences of this fact are mostly very far-reaching: for exanple, had the people instead of the power elites had their say in 1914, all over Europe, the vast majority would have wanted peace. Even more so in 1939; yes, even in Germany, as confirmed by the reports of the Gestapo.

Long live the powerless all over the world – the People, the Working Class!

Sorry, but one of the sentences in number 267 was meant to read: “I believe WW I was started by Germany’s great friends in London, to get rid…”

I apologize for these misspellings.

Well, yes, Incitatus just repeats the one-sided claptrap fron Kershaw.

Old story rehashed. After all, Beaverbrook, Namier and AJP Taylor live on in him.

Yes, Germany did not start WW I. Read Christopher Clark’s work “The Sleepwalkers” and, if possible, two interesting German publications: Hans Fenske’s “Der Anfang vom Ende des alten Europa” (The beginning of the end of Old Europe) and “Als Deutschland Großmacht war” (When Germany was a great Power) by Bruno Bandulet.

They make fascinating reading, challenging long-standing fallacies about German war guilt. However, the whole ugly truth is unlikely to come out as long as the acts pertaining to the run-up to August 1914 in Paris, London, Belgrade and (last but not least) in Moscow/Petersburg remain sealed…for reasons which might be very obvious.

In believe WW I was stared by Germany’s great friends in London, to ged rid of this pesky competitor in world trade. France wanted to get Alsace and Lorraine back. The fact that these territories had been part of Germany until the 17th century, when the y were conquered by France, was conveniently forgotten in Paris.

I, as a German, would rather believe in the virginity of an old dockside wh*re than in the good will of a non-German power towards Germany. Incitatus is a case in point.

Somebody in Germany said: The Anglo-Saxons or ISIS – morally, that’s six of one and half a dozen of the other…

Thank you, and good night.
