This AFP article was posted on Yahoo News on Fri, September 1, 2023. By Kiyoko METZLER. I haven't been been following the FPOe for a long time and was so pleased to see that Herbert Kickl is now leading the party to greater success. It's now the highest polling party in Austria!

AUSTRIA'S FAR-RIGHT FREEDOM PARTY -- which is expected to win next year's elections -- has sparked fury with a "frightening" video glorifying fascist thinkers and making knowing nods to the country's Nazi past.

The two-minute promo -- which splices an extremist conspiracy theory that white Europeans are being replaced by migrants with images of Notre Dame in Paris in flames -- was made by the party's youth wing.

TWO LOCAL RUNOFF VOTES IN EASTERN GERMANY were won by the Alternativ für Deutschland (AfD), now the country's most successful far-right party since World War II.

Robert Sesselmann won the June 25^th District Administrator election in Sonneberg, a small district in east Germany's Thuringia state. It was the first time a candidate from the far-right party was elected to head a government. A district administrator does not have much clout, but jubilant AfD leaders are hoping the victory will herald far greater political success.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS ARTICLE is to make the case that Adolf Hitler did not help plan and approve of his deputy Rudolf Hess's “peace mission” night-flight to Scotland on May 10, 1941. There are many who want to believe that he did. I use the word “believe” because any evidence they come up with is extremely flimsy – at best, indirect. This subject came up again on an Unz Review comment & discussion thread where, as usual, it was not possible to reach anything close to a consensus due to the free participation of any and all voices, and no moderation. I announced that I would write an article on my own website and allow comments there, but they would be moderated. And so I have and this is it.

IT'S NO SECRET that I comment on certain Unz Review articles. Currently there has been another flurry of attention on David Irving as a reliable historian. While I am still organizing my promised article on the present available knowledge of Hitller's role in the Hess "secret" flight to Scotland on May 10, 1941, I came across the comments to Hadding Scott's important aritcle on David Irving found here: https://carolynyeager.net/hadding-scott-talks-frankly-about-david-irving...

There are several good comments there, but one in particular I thought deserved re-publishing as a post. It's by "David," who often wrote  long, thoughtful comments here that I always appreciated. It went like this:

The love of a father for his son? Joe Biden with son Hunter. (courtesy N4MATION)

JOE BIDEN KNOWS HIS CAMPAIGN for president will be an uphill battle this time around because of his age and failing ability to communicate. (Think of John Fetterman! It could happen to Joe too.) Even the sophisticated electoral cheating technologies semi-mastered by his Democrat party will probably not be sufficient to keep him in the White House. But running is the only way he can continue to protect his only surviving son, Hunter, from prison. Even if Joe loses in Nov. 2024, he will have extended the time of his protection to January 20, 2025. This gives Hunter's team of lawyers more time to try to arrange a plea agreement that will save Hunter from a felony charge and a prison term.

WHY HONOR HITLER? Because he was a great man and a populist (meaning of/for the common people). How do I know he was a great man, or why do I think so? Because of his works. Jesus the Christ said: “You shall know them by their fruits,” fruits meaning the results of their efforts or what is 'given' to their fellow man. Can Hitler be compared to Jesus? Was Hitler a Christian? What were Hitler's “fruits” in the world?

TODAY, JANUARY 27, 2023, IS THE EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL DAY OF COMMEMORATION FOR VICTIMS OF THE HOLOHOAX -- otherwise known as International Holocaust Memorial Day -- the one created by the United Nations (introduced by Israel) and heavily supported by the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial & Museum in Poland and the World Jewish Congress, headquartered in New York.

Chapter 15, Vol. Two: The Right to Emergency Defense  Summary

15.1  Developments in Germany since 1918 prove that the hope of winning the victor's favor by voluntary submission has the most disastous influence on the political views and conduct of the broad masses.

Seeing that the direction of our post-war historical destiny was now openly controlled by Jews, it's impossible to admit that defective knowledge was the sole cause of our misfortune. Rather, we must conclude that our people were intentionally driven to ruin.

I'VE JUST COMPLETED MINE. I got sidetracked from my original intention, and had to change what I had in mind for that reason. Now I'm in more traditional territory - my #1 resolution is to stop procrastinating, or to make great improvements in reducing it. Already today I heard myself saying, "Not today ... tomorow will be a better day to do it." I realized I say that EVERY DAY several times and it always feels convincing. However, the best time to do everything is now, when I think of it. I don't have to make a big production of it. Just do it. But everything has become a 'big production' for me. This I want to stop.
