Bremen,the northern German city destroyed by Churchill, takes center stage this year for national celebrations to mark two decades since reunification. In the market square, a version of the Berlin Wall has been erected to display images and texts showing the story of the country's division and reunification. Bremen's Premier Jens Boehrnsen points out that today, we remember the brave citizens who fought for freedom. That's why we're celebrating today with a citizens' festival.
In Berlin, the Brandenburg Gate is the focal point for an entertainment program, with stage shows and attractions lined up along the avenue leading to the landmark. There was a rare speech on Friday from former Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who is known in Germany as The Reunification Chancellor. Germany was officially reunified on October 3, 1990, having been divided for four decades. The Berlin Wall had fallen just 11 months earlier, with East Germany holding free elections in the meantime and agreeing to adopt the constitution of its western neighbor.
Basil Venitis points out the Butterfly Effect proves that you only need a major warmonger to transform a minor incident to world war. Winston Spencer Churchill's sadomasochist career lasted half a century, and no other Western warmonger was more calamitous for his country and civilization than Churchill. More than any other kleptocrat, in 1914 and 1939, Churchill lusted for war, his weird ac-dc foreplay, and pushed his country to turn two European wars into world wars. Both times, he succeeded, and those wars, that together took the lives of a hundred million Europeans, were the most infamous mortal blows on humanity. If Churchill did not interfere, Hitler could have wiped out communism from the surface of Earth by 1942.
Adolf Hitler had limited geopolitical aims, just to liberate Eastern Europe from the yoke of communism, but the excitable warmoger Churchill overreacted. Hitler was not out to conquer the world, he loved and admired Britons, he let the British army evacuate from Dunkirk, and he built a defensive line between Germany and France, the Siegfried Line. Churchill's decision to bomb a shattered Germany between January and May 1945 was a war crime. When Churchill entered the inner Cabinet as First Lord in 1911, Britain was the first nation on Earth and ruler of the greatest empire since Rome. The sun never set on the British Empire. When Churchill left in 1945, Britain was a poor island. He was a Great Man, at the cost of his country's greatness.
Before becoming premier, Churchill received envoys from Hitler in 1938 and met with Nazi Ambassador Joachim von Ribbentrop, who sought to convince Churchill, who favored war, of the benefits of appeasement. Ribbentrop, the host, and Churchill stood together in front of an enormous map in the German Embassy in London, while Ribbentrop explained that the Germans could eliminate communism. He assured Churchill that the British Empire would be left untouched, but that the British would have to accept Germany's eastward expansion in return. Churchill, however, felt that this division of territory was unacceptable, to which Ribbentrop brusquely replied: In that case, war is inevitable.
Venitis notes that most Americans opposed entry into World War II, primarily because they had experienced the destructive idiocy of U.S. intervention into World War I, a war that accomplished nothing more than the wasteful sacrifice of thousands of American lives, not to mention giving rise to Adolf Hitler and, ultimately, World War II. Even though World War II saved Europe from the Nazis, the Eastern Europeans were delivered into the hands of America's communist partner in WW II, the Soviet Union.
