		<description>Dear Pat,
According to Marcus Epstein on the V-Dare website...
"...Pat argues that had Britain acted differently, above all in giving a guarantee to Poland in March of 1939, World War II could have been avoided..."
--------

Of course, WW2 could have been AVOIDED. But not because of the reason you cite. Judging only from this article and not from reading the book, you make Britain's guarantee to Poland the crucial factor that allowed World War II to happen. To be sure, it was part of the events as they really occurred, but WW2 would have happened anyway, even without Britain's guarantee to Poland. That is because of people in England with a lot of money and pulling strings from behind the curtain, i.e. Rothschild and ilk, WANTED that war. Judea had already publicly declared war against Germany as early as March 1933, and the Zionists did everything in their power to get the rest of the world involved. (The goal was still the establishment of the Jewish homeland). If it had not been that British guarantee to Poland, they would have found other ways to get WW2 started.

World War I could have been avoided, too. It was the very same people in England with a lot of money - money parasites really - pulling strings from behind the curtain, that caused WW1. 

The origins of World War I go back to the first Zionist Congress in 1897 in Basel, Switzerland. Their program stated:

"Zionism seeks for the Jewish people a publicly recognized legally secured homeland in Palestine."

Once that homeland idea was adopted by Rothschild and the other money parasites, Zionism became the driving force that led to WW1 and WW2. The official reasons stated in history books are all cheap alibi exercises and excuses for the true reasons which are so horrible that they HAVE to be covered up. The disinformation about the true events is maintained until the present day.

It started harmless enough with the Zionists attempting to obtain Palestine from the Ottoman Turkish Sultan. They tried everything... negotiating, cajoling, bribing... but nothing worked. The Sultan would not budge, not even for 
150 million dollars, which was a huge sum at that time. No deal. 

Stage 2 was the subversion of the Sultan's already crumbling empire via the establishment of the so called Young Turks, which was a totally Jewish established and led enterprise with the purpose of deposing the Sultan and hopefully obtaining Palestine from a friendlier successor regime.

Whilst subversion and revolt got the old Sultan out of power, Palestine was still no deal under his successor. 

Stage 3 finally had to be war, which was sparked by the Austrian archduke's assassination in Sarajevo by a Jewish agent. But that dragged Germany into the war as well, and the Jews at that time still had good relations with Germany and the Kaiser. 

Unfortunately, for the Zionists, the first few years of WW1, which was a purely European war at first, didn't settle anything and resulted in a stalemate or even slightly in favor of Germany, mainly because of Germany's military strength. After suffering the worst war casualties in world history, all parties were tired, depleted and wanted to go home. And they would have gone home - with status quo ante - had it not been for a new development, the cryptically formulated Balfour Declaration.

The Zionists saw that with status quo ante all their homeland efforts would come to naught, so they came up with this idea of finally overpowering Germany/Austria/Turkey with the engagement of America in the war. That 85% of Americans wanted nothing to do with the "European War" was no hindrance to the Zionists. With false flag operations and propaganda they dragged America into the war anyway. Benjamin Freedman gave a very lurid portrait of those events. His account is all over the internet.

The Zionists made a deal with England, formalized in the Balfour Declaration, which simply stated that "...His Majesty's Government [would] view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people...". That Declaration was addressed to ROTHSCHILD PERSONALLY.

It was the quo. The unstated QUID in this quid pro quo deal was the bringing of America as Britain's ally into the war in Europe. Britain would - with America's help the sure winner of this war and later in charge of conquered territories, INCLUDING PALESTINE - guarantee to work for the establishment of that Jewish homeland. 

For this reason alone the world had to suffer all this subversion and the resulting two world wars. The people of Europe and America were never told or knew the true reasons why there was a World War I in 1914 (or World War II for that matter), nor did any of the millions of soldiers or their families know for what purpose and for whom they really died. 

World War II was already baked into the pie in 1919 and is generally acknowledged as having been unavoidable when considering the unfair and onerous conditions imposed on Germany at the Versailles "Peace" Treaty.

Ever since, the men in England with a lot of money and their successors who are pulling strings from behind the curtain, have secretly been in charge not only of England, America and Israel but of Europe and a lot of other places. They have personally and directly caused every single war involving western powers in the last 100 years, 
but according to official history books they don't even exist, nor is their role acknowledged at all. Nor have the media, supposed watch dogs for the people, ever let out one peep to alert the public. Not surprising, these media are owned, controlled by or beholden to the very same people in England with a lot of money. 

As a result of their media control, they have made it taboo and practically illegal to even criticise or mention them, let alone take them to task for their crimes. Compare that to an AIDS-virus claiming protection from eradication under some egalitarian, universal "organism rights" statutes which the AIDS-virus itself got enacted.

WW1 and WW2 and later wars would never have happened if it hadn't been for these immoral, megalomaniac Zionist whack jobs.  What enabled their evil plans to turn into reality was solely their control over England's, America's and other countries' money supply, which coupled with their unhinged desire to claim Palestine as their own led to the world's greatest tragedies in the last 100 years. That, and their insane quest for control over the entire planet, which has been in progress ever since. 

In view of this big picture, squabbling over little details seems rather pathetic.

Closer to our current time line, these same world criminals have been responsible for the events of 9-11, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq for which the false flag operation of 9-11 served as excuse, terrorism in general, the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security (what a laugh), and soon maybe wars with Iran, Syria, or whoever else is a thorn in the side of the money parasites. 

The stench of their oppression and immoral dealings is getting ever more offensive and unbearable. Their world tyranny will hopefully come to an end now with the crumbling of their financial empire that started as the subprime 
mortgage crisis in America in August 2007. The crisis is in progress, but the parasites will not go easily.

Focusing on certain details and leaving out the big picture appears like half baked disinformation that will only add to the people's confusion about our history. Akin to claiming a zebra is a white animal. While that has some truth in it, it deliberately misses the overall picture, giving the uninitiated a completely misleading impression and leaving them forever stuck in ignorance. The truth must be radical - or it is not the truth.

		<description>Pat, The last thing the ADL cares about is truth.  If you would state that you believed 20 million was the more appropriate Holocaust number, for instance, even though that would be a lie, you'd be their hero du jour.  When the ADL attacks you, you have positive confirmation that you're doing something right.

Your high integrity is well known.  God bless you for always telling the truth, and always standing firm.</description>

		<description>My comments to this video:
I agree with Pat that Hitler did not want a war with Britain. He believed germanic nations were a superior race and admired England which in fact had a German royalty. 

But he wanted to expand German space (Lebensraum) eastward, thought Slavs were inferior, and wanted Czech lands (all, not just Sudetenland) and what is now western Poland. 

I too think that the holocaust - genocide of Jews would not have happenned if not for the war and frankly the very successful food blockade by US and UK. Germans were starving and Hitler just cut off the hated Jews. But the Jews would not have fared very well even if the WWII did not happen, likely much worse han any other nation of Europe under German occupation.



Expanding NATO into former Soviet Union is a strategic blunder. Instead of having Russia a friend and ally (they did what we wanted them throughout the 90s), we are pushing it in the other direction, likely because some forces in the US need an enemy. The right model should be a neutrality for those republics, similar to Austria' status after WWII. 

To Wolf, all EU citizens actually cannot work anywhere in EU. He should know that. Some EU countries ("old Europe") are blocking citizens of other countries (new EU members) to work there.</description>

		<description>Yes, Hitler did not want war with UK or US--not in the short term anyway. (The recent book, Wages of Destruction argues Hitler foresaw conflict with US down the line). 
But, Hitler did want to swallow up Poland. He had dream of invading Russia, killing 10s of millions of Slavs and resettling eastern lands with German farmers. For this to happen, Hitler and his henchmen calculated that 30 million Slavs would have to die. Rest would be enslaved. 
IF HItler had invaded Russia to defeat communism, that's one thing. He could have been a liberator like Napoleon or Bush in Iraq.  But, Hilter invaded Russia not to liberate but to subjugate. He did it to wipe out entire populations and to enslave the rest under the Aryan order. Is that okay with Buchanan? Of course, Buchanan can argue that it's none of our business. But, suppose Stalin had started the war first and had plans of enslaving all of Western Europe; suppose Stalin had no desire to fight UK or US.  Would Buchanan then say it's no business for US or UK to stop the commies from overrunning, slaughtering, and enslaving Western Europeans, especially Germans?  I don't think so. 
The main reason why Buchanan is making apologies for Hitler is racial. Buchanan thinks Germans are higher quality whites than the Slavs contaminated by Asiatic blood. 
I despise communism, but Russians were on the right side of history in WWII.  They fought not for ideology but for motherland. All people should have that right. The right to survive and to rule over their motherland.  If US and UK played a role in defeating Hitler, glory to them.</description>

		<title>Comment on The American Conservative, John Lukacs, and The Unnecessary Review by animalishness</title>

		<description>I haven't read Buchanan's book yet, but I have great respect for Lukacs. Buchanan is intelligent and often insightful but his strong passions often get the better of him whereas Lukacs avoids simplistic conclusions. Though I often disagree with Lukacs, I know he's treading carefully, considering different points of view, weighing all  known facts.  Too often, Buchanan chooses ONLY the facts that support his argument and ignore all else.  He ends up with a cops and robbers manichean view of the world with good guys and bad guys. This is due to Buchanan's fiery temperament and his hardline ideology on race and nationhood. 

Also, Buchanan is less an American Firster than a Germany Firster.  I don't think he's a Nazi Sympathizer but he has an all-too-easy fondness for all things German. So, even Nazi Germany gets less blame than Winston Churchill's Britain. 

The reason WWII happened was 99% because of Hitler.  Whereas Germans were not the only culprits in WWI, they certainly were in WWII.   Sure, Germans had gripes, many of them justified. But, Hitler exploited them to conquer/create a new order where the Aryans would rule almost all of Europe.  
Also, Germans were not the only people with justifiable grudges. Yes, Germany lost land to Poland after WWI, but Germany and Russia had carved up Poland and denied nationhood to the Poles for over a century.  Wasn't that an injustice? NO, according to Buchanan because he feels that Germans have a God-given right to disregard non-German interests.

And, no matter how foolish Churchill's promise to Poland was prior to the German invasion, it was  noble, and history bears this out. The greatness of the Polish soul is there in the pages of Henryk Sienkiewicz's books The Teutonic Knights, With Fire and Sword, and The Deluge. And, Poles were indeed the greatest heroes and most tragic victims of the war.  
Poland was attacked nearly simultaneously by both Nazi Germany and Soviet Union. Poles in both sides suffered horribly. But, unlike most other conquered peoples, Poles kept fighting to the end. Even in 1944, after yrs of German terror and mass murder, Poles were able to mount the Warsaw Uprising and fight bravely almost to the last man. If that is not heroism, I don't know what is. 

No, Poles were not saints. And, Germans had legitimate grievances against Poles--as all people in Europe did against their neighbors.  The real problem was Hitler really didn't know where to stop. He didn't just want German land back from Poland and Czechoslovkia but had a dream of a German Empire stretching all across Russia. He estimated that 30 million Slavs would have to be exterminated to make room for German settlers. THAT is the reason for WWII. 

And, consider the fact that Hitler even moved against USSR with which he signed a pact.  
At worst, Churchill was foolish in his miscalculation.  But, Hitler was truly evil. 

What alarms me is Buchanans' way of thinking isn't much different than leftist historians on the Korean and Vietnam War. Bruce Cumings tells us that the Korean War and all the ensuing problems were the fault of South Korea and the US. And, Leftwing scholars have blamed Vietnam War entirely on the US.  From their point of view, Kim Il Sung and Ho Chi Minh were sensible, heroic, and patriotic heroes who simply wanted to 'liberate' their countries but evil US stood in the way. 
Buchanan's narrative on WWII comes close. It's as though Hitler, though admittedly evil, would have been content IF he reclaimed some land from Poland. So,the bad guys were Churchill--and by extention, FDR. 
Who REALLY believes this?  I don't think Buchanan believes this.  But, Buchanan roots for Germany in WWII because he's a Germany-firster than an America Firster.  That is depressing.</description>

The real problem was Hitler really didn&#8217;t know where to stop. He didn&#8217;t just want German land back from Poland and Czechoslovkia but had a dream of a German Empire stretching all across Russia. He estimated that 30 million Slavs would have to be exterminated to make room for German settlers. THAT is the reason for WWII. </p>
<p>And, consider the fact that Hitler even moved against USSR with which he signed a pact.<br />
At worst, Churchill was foolish in his miscalculation.  But, Hitler was truly evil. </p>
<p>What alarms me is Buchanans&#8217; way of thinking isn&#8217;t much different than leftist historians on the Korean and Vietnam War. Bruce Cumings tells us that the Korean War and all the ensuing problems were the fault of South Korea and the US. And, Leftwing scholars have blamed Vietnam War entirely on the US.  From their point of view, Kim Il Sung and Ho Chi Minh were sensible, heroic, and patriotic heroes who simply wanted to &#8216;liberate&#8217; their countries but evil US stood in the way.<br />
Buchanan&#8217;s narrative on WWII comes close. It&#8217;s as though Hitler, though admittedly evil, would have been content IF he reclaimed some land from Poland. So,the bad guys were Churchill&#8211;and by extention, FDR.<br />
Who REALLY believes this?  I don&#8217;t think Buchanan believes this.  But, Buchanan roots for Germany in WWII because he&#8217;s a Germany-firster than an America Firster.  That is depressing.</p>

		<description>Mr. Buchanan,
I have long been a fan of yours until now. You are totally disregarding the history of the Holocaust genesis which began as a separate war of Hitler's in the 30's. The Final Solution was put into motion long before. The Dachau Concentration Camp opened on March 22, 1933. I believe you have fallen prey to the liberal revisionist theories of history. At least this book will no doubt play into their own propaganda. Appeasement of evil didn't work then and it won't work now, regardless of the situation.</description>

		<description>I have never read anyone with a complete and total grasp of History like Mr. Buchanan. Unbelievable. I mention him in a book I wrote under the pseudonym Ruth A. Cod, "Wrath of Cod" My husband, an Inventor and Automotive Safety System Pioneer, with over 32 patents, said that Pat  is a great man who should be in Granite.(As in Mt. Rushmore) A true Patriot. In the Domstic Auto industry we are, and have been, getting killed by competition. It seems a lot of Americans associate American cars with inferiority, and that is No Longer True. Domestics being manufactured can compete with the best in Class of foreign cars. There is No Loyalty in our country and  Americans do not realize the importance of a Domestic manufacturing base. Russia just bought our fourth largest steel mill. The Asian markets are kicking our blanks, because they have Homogeneous countries, and they will not be installing foot baths in their colleges any time soon. Our college student at Columbia U embrace a madman, cheering him on, until he get to irans opposition to gays, then they turn on him. It is hard to believe anyone could embrace America's enemies. Let alone the "educated elite." I wish Pat were in a position of power. We need honsty and fiscal sobriety, and Integrity. We wish Pat's book much success.
God bless,

		<description>Mr. Buchanan,
I belive you are wrong and naive to think Hitler and Nazi Germany were not going to destroy the Jews of Europe. This was the Master Plan and had nothing to do with Churchill, UK, and the WWII.
These people were evil and determined to ride Europe of the " Unter Menchen ". This was the plan in the early 1930's where I saw it first hand in my birthplace in Germany. Eliminating Jews from society in Germany started in 1935. Please review history of Germany in many books on the "History and Beginings of the Holucaust".</description>

		<description>Dear Mr. Buchanan,

I am a great admirer and can't wait to read your book.  I have one question about your premise. 

Do you really think Hitler would have been satisfied if the allies had given him Danzig?  

There is of course no doubt many things could have been done differently from 1906 on, but one could argue events prior to 06 were mishanled which lead us to the mistakes of that year.

I find it hard to believe that a different line up of nations and diplomatic postions would have completely averted violence in the last cenury, or saved the empire.

Of course it is also impossible to know with any certainty the chain of events had different strategies been used. A different course of action could have delivered even worse results.

As in most situations Chamberlain and Churchill were probably doing the best they knew how to do.

Can't wait to read it.</description>

		<description>I would just like to thank Pat Buchanan for being my guiding light in all things historical. It is not easy to challenge the status quo - especially when it is universally accepted and I admire Pat's conviction. I always enjoy the books and columns and I learn a great deal. Keep the faith, Pat - you are a hero in conservative thought.</description>
