Some top-notch famous sculptures by Adolf Hitler's two favorite artists, for whom he built gigantic studios for their super-large works to be created for public buildings and public spaces, have been confiscated by the Berlin State Office of Criminal Investigation. It is the preliminary determination that the rightful owner of this artwork is the German State, or German government.

Among the masterpieces discovered and expropriated from their current owners are (click on images to enlarge):

It made me happy to see this story in the news reports this morning. I am always attracted to the kind of designs on clothing that are associated with Ukraine folk art. I think President Poroshenko looks handsome in his brightly colored embroidered shirt worn with a modern business suit. (below right) We should see more nationalist dress being worn by Europeans. 

In Ukraine it is not a problem, but in Germany it would be a big problem. Dressing in your national costume conveys that you are a nationalist, or you may have nationalistic feelings, and that is verboten for Germans. In Austria it can now be done  because, as a separate nation, Austria can celebrate itself. Germans cannot, mainly because it would offend Jews. I don't think the large number of Turks there would even care if Germans wore their national costume, but the Jews care.

The old Dresden. It does not look like this today, even after being "rebuilt." The essence is gone, leaving it mainly a tourist destination rather than a place for Germans to enjoy.

On this 70 year remembrance of the destruction of Dresden, the incomparable cultural city of Europe and a German treasure, remembering the hellish inferno that burnt to death up to 200,000 undefended civilians whose "crime" was to live in Adolf Hitler's Third Reich, I feel compelled to acknowledge publicly that my anger and disgust goes mainly toward the British.

A nation that can lie to itself, in order to keep lying to the rest of the world, and feel sincere about it, as the British do, deserves no respect. This includes the British decendants in Canada, the US, Australia, wherever they may be.

Margaret Huffstickler returns with another great musical show -- a tour of German Christmas music that was heard and enjoyed during the Third Reich. Eleven selections are played, ranging from children's choirs and soft lullabys to the voices of soldiers from all the many fronts in 1942 singing Stille Nacht together connected by radio ... and by their comradeship.

Margaret translates and comments on each selection, giving us some background information and a sense of how Germans celebrated Weinachten at that time. I hope you enjoy it and Fröhliche Weinachten to you all!! [1hr50min]

Film director Roman Polanski was a guest of honor at the opening of the new Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw, honoring the "1000 year history of Jews in Poland." Of course, Poland is not 1000 years old -that's just another Polish fiction and historical invention.

From the BBC, Nov. 4, 2014

An advisor to the Polish President has accused the US of "absolute ignorance" in seeking to arrest Roman Polanski at the opening of a Jewish history museum.

Polanski has been wanted by US police since 1977 after fleeing the country before he could be sentenced for having sex with a 13-year-old girl.

US authorities contacted Polish officials as Polanski attended the museum opening in Warsaw last week.

The director was questioned by prosecutors but was not arrested.

Margaret Huffstickler returns after too long of an absence with a wide range of music styles and performers that personify the cultural life during the National-Socialist period. We begin with composer-conductor Richard Strauss and singers Jussi Björling, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Heinrich Schlusnus, plus Gerhard Huesch and Rudolf Schock (pictured at right in top hat).

We play two degenerate composers to give you an idea of what the Third Reich didn't allow in its concert halls or on it's record labels ... by the Jew Schoenberg and the communist Hindemith. For the intermission, we play the full 11 minutes of Wilhelm Furtwaengler conducting Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" on the Fuehrer's birthday when he is in the audience.

Following that we feature Erna Berger, Hermann Prey and Hans Albers with more popular-type music, ending with Heinrich Spitta singing a Hitler Jugend song. As an encore, the incomparable Zarah Leander.

Much appreciation to Margaret Huffstickler for bringing this musical show to us. 2hr9min

The Russian Federation is a multi-ethnic state with the 2nd largest number of immigrants in the world, after the U.S. But it represents "Freedom", according to "the Saker" and Alexandr Dugin. Freedom for whom?

Carolyn Yeager goes beyond the reality of Race to the further distinction of Ethnicity and how that leads to various Ideologies. 1hr57min.

• The Hitler view of the healthy state and the Putin view do not coincide;
  

• The ethnicities of Europe and their distinct cultures cause discomfort to Globalists, WN's and to Putinists;
• The concept of "Novorossia" appears to be just another way to expand territorial control;
• Callous disregard for Russian boy-fighters recruited online described by mother of dead son;
• The Saker blog is criticized for promoting East-West division and obviously dishonest fund-raising tactics;   
  
• I forgot to talk about the "Zombie Nazi Invasion" video created by a Russian rights group to warn about the dangers of racism and xenophobia. Don't miss it!
