The Size Of The Lie Is A Definite Factor In Causing It To Be Believed, For The Vast Masses Of The Nation Are In The Depths Of Their Hearts More Easily Deceived Than They Are Consciously And Intentionally Bad. The Primitive Simplicity Of Their Minds Renders Them A More Easy Prey To A Big Lie Than A Small One, For They Themselves Often Tell Little Lies But Would Be Ashamed To Tell A Big One.

The Whites Have Carried To These (colonial) People The Worst That They Could Carry: The Plagues Of The World: Materialism, Fanaticism, Alcoholism, And Syphilis. Moreover, Since What These People Possessed On Their Own Was Superior To Anything We Could Give Them, They Have Remained Themselves... The Sole Result Of The Activity Of The Colonizers Is: They Have Everywhere Aroused Hatred.

Christianity [is] A Rebellion Against Natural Law, A Protest Against Nature.

In The Spanish People There Is A Mixture Of Gothic, Frankish And Moorish Blood. One Can Speak Of The Spaniard As One Would Speak Of A Brave Anarchist. The Arabian Epoch-the Arabs Look Down On The Turks As They Do On Dogs-was The Most Cultured, The Most Intellectual And In Every Way Best And Happiest Epoch In Spanish History. It Was Followed By The Period Of The Persecutions With Its Unceasing Atrocities.

It Is A Tragedy Of The Germanic World That Jesus Was Judaised, Distorted, Falsified; And An Alien Asiatic Spirit Was Forced Upon Us. That Is A Crime We Must Repair.

You, My Brown Guard, Will Regard It As A Matter Of Course That This German People Should Go Only By The Way Which Providence Ordained For It When It Gave To Germans The Common Language.

Everything On This Earth Can Be Made Into Something Better. Every Defeat May Be Made The Foundation Of A Future Victory. Every Lost War May Be The Cause Of A Later Resurgence.

But In The Great Hour Heaven Sent The German People A Great Man, Herr Von Cuno.

I Speak In The Name Of The Entire German People When I Assure The World That We All Share The Honest Wish To Eliminate The Enmity That Brings Far More Costs Than Any Possible Benefits.

For This, To Be Sure, From The Child's Primer Down To The Last Newspaper, Every Theater And Every Movie House, Every Advertising Pillar And Every Billboard, Must Be Pressed Into The Service Of This One Great Mission, Until The Timorous Prayer Of Our Present Parlor Patriots: 'lord, Make Us Free!' Is Transformed In The Brain Of The Smallest Boy Into The Burning Plea: 'almighty God, Bless Our Arms When The Time Comes; Be Just As Thou Hast Always Been; Judge Now Whether We Be Deserving Of Freedom; Lord, Bless Our Battle!"

If Only One Country, For Whatever Reason, Tolerates A Jewish Family In It, That Family Will Become The Germ Center For Fresh Sedition. If One Little Jewish Boy Survives Without Any Jewish Education, With No Synagogue And No Hebrew School, It [judaism] Is In His Soul. Even If There Had Never Been A Synagogue Or A Jewish School Or An Old Testament, The Jewish Spirit Would Still Exist And Exert Its Influence. It Has Been There From The Beginning And There Is No Jew, Not A Single One, Who Does Not Personify It.

The Heaviest Blow That Ever Struck Humanity Was The Coming Of Christianity. Bolshevism Is Christianity's Illegitimate Child. Both Are Inventions Of The Jew.

I Am Convinced That 1941 Will Be The Crucial Year Of A Great New Order In Europe. The World Shall Open Up For Everyone. Privileges For Individuals, The Tyranny Of Certain Nations And Their Financial Rulers Shall Fall. And Last Of All This Year Will Help To Provide The Foundations Of A Real Understanding Among Peoples, And With It The Certainty Of Conciliation Among Nations. . . . Those Nations Who Are Still Opposed To Us Will Some Day Recognize The Greater Enemy Within. Then They Will Join Us In A Combined Front, A Front Against Jewish Exploitation And Racial Degeneration.

Thousands Of Americans, Englishmen And Frenchmen Have Visited Germany During The Months After The National Revolution And Were Able To Testify As Eye-witnesses That There Is No Country In The World Where Law And Order Are Better Maintained Than In Present-day Germany. That There Is No Country In The World Where Person And Property Are Held In Better Respect Than In Our Own, But That There Is Perhaps Also No Country In The Word Where A More Rigorous Fight Is Put Up Against Those Who Believe That They Are Free To Let Loose Their Lower Instincts To The Detriment Of Their Fellow-beings.

Struggle Is The Father Of All Things. It Is Not By The Principles Of Humanity That Man Lives Or Is Able To Preserve Himself Above The Animal World, But Solely By Means Of The Most Brutal Struggle.

The Application Of Force Alone, Without Support Based On A Spiritual Concept, Can Never Bring About The Destruction Of An Idea Or Arrest The Propagation Of It, Unless One Is Ready And Able To Ruthlessly To Exterminate The Last Upholders Of That Idea Even To A Man, And Also Wipe Out Any Tradition Which It May Tend To Leave Behind.

England, Unlike In 1914, Will Not Allow Herself To Blunder Into A War Lasting For Years.... Such Is The Fate Of Rich Countries.. .not Even England Has The Money Nowadays To Fight A World War. What Should England Fight For? You Don't Get Yourself Killed Over An Ally.

By The Skillful And Sustained Use Of Propaganda, One Can Make A People See Even Heaven As Hell Or An Extremely Wretched Life As Paradise.

Nature Knows No Political Boundaries. She Puts Living Creatures On This Globe And Watches The Free Play Of Forces. She Then Confers The Master's Right On Her Favourite Child, The Strongest In Courage And Industry ... The Stronger Must Dominate And Not Blend With The Weaker, Thus Sacrificing His Own Greatness. Only The Born Weakling Can View This As Cruel.

Why Nationalize Industry When You Can Nationalize The People?

To Whom Should Propaganda Be Addressed? To The Scientifically Trained Intelligentsia Or The Less Educated Masses? It Must Be Addressed Always And Exclusively To The Masses.

While Both Denominations Maintain Missions In Asia And Africa In Order To Win New Followers For Their Doctrine- An Activity Which Can Boast But Very Modest Success Compared To The Advance Of The Mohammedan Faith In Particular- Right Here In Europe They Lose Millions And Millions Of Inward Adherents Who Either Are Alien To All Religious Life Or Simply Go Their Own Ways. The Consequences, Particularly From A Moral Point Of View, Are Not Favorable.

The Art Of Leadership . . . Consists In Consolidating The Attention Of The People Against A Single Adversary And Taking Care That Nothing Will Split Up That Attention. . . . The Leader Of Genius Must Have The Ability To Make Different Opponents Appear As If They Belong To One Category.

One Of Our Most Important Tasks Will Be To Save Future Generations From A Similar Political Fate And To Maintain For Ever Watchful In Them A Knowledge Of The Menace Of Jewry. For This Reason Alone It Is Vital That The Passion Play Be Continued At Oberammergau; For Never Has The Menace Of Jewry Been So Convincingly Portrayed As In This Presentation Of What Happened In The Times Of The Romans. There One Sees In Pontius Pilate A Roman Racially And Intellectually So Superior, That He Stands Like A Firm, Clean Rock In The Middle Of The Whole Muck And Mire Of Jewry.

Theater, Art, Literature, Cinema, Press, Posters, And Window Displays Must Be Cleansed Of All Manifestations Of Our Rotting World And Placed In The Service Of A Moral, Political, And Cultural Idea.

Today Christians ... Stand At The Head Of [this Country]... I Pledge That I Never Will Tie Myself To Parties Who Want To Destroy Christianity .. We Want To Fill Our Culture Again With The Christian Spirit ...

The Greatness Of Christianity Did Not Lie In Attempted Negotiations For Compromise With Any Similar Philosophical Opinions In The Ancient World, But In Its Inexorable Fanaticism In Preaching And Fighting For Its Own Doctrine.

The Fight Against Syphilis Demands A Fight Against Prostitution, Against Prejudices, Old Habits, Against Previous Conceptions, General Views Among Them Not Least The False Prudery Of Certain Circles. The First Prerequisite For Even The Moral Right To Combat These Things Is The Facilitation Of Earlier Marriage For The Coming Generation.

It Would Have Been More To The Point, More Honest And More Christian, In Past Decades Not To Support Those Who Intentionally Destroyed Healthy Life Than To Rebel Against Those Who Have No Other Wish Than To Avoid Disease. Moreover, A Policy Of Laissez Faire In This Sphere Is Not Only Cruelty To The Individual Guiltless Victims But Also To The Nation As A Whole... If The Churches Were To Declare Themselves Ready To Take Over The Treatment And Care Of Those Suffering From Hereditary Diseases, We Should Be Quite Ready To Refrain From Sterilizing Them.

I Have Issued The Command, And I'll Have Anybody Who Utters But One Word Of Criticism Executed By A Firing Squad, That Our War Aim Does Not Consist In Reaching Certain Lines, But In The Physical Destruction Of The Enemy. Accordingly, I Have Placed My Death's-head Formation In Readiness, For The Present Only In The East, With Orders To Them To Send To Death Mercilessly And Without Compassion, Men, Women, And Children Of Polish Derivation And Language. Only Thus Shall We Gain The Living Space Which We Need. Who, After All, Speaks Today Of The Annihilation Of The Armenians?

Reading Is Not An End To Itself, But A Means To An End.

I Soon Realized That The Correct Use Of Propaganda Is A True Art Which Has Remained Practically Unknown To The Bourgeois Parties. Only The Christian- Social Movement, Especially In Lueger's Time Achieved A Certain Virtuosity On This Instrument, To Which It Owed Many Of Its Success.

Neither I Nor Anyone Else In Germany Would Even Consider Placing Any "conditions" On Our Possible Return To The League Of Nations. Whether Or Not We Return To This Body Depends Exclusively Upon Whether We Can Belong To It As A Completely Equal Nation. This Is Not A "condition," But A Matter Of Course.

When Folk Have Set Before Them A True Purpose And Then Pursue It Unmoved With Bravery And Courage, When They Withstand With A Strong Heart Every Trial Which Heaven Sends Upon Them, Then One Day At The Last Almighty Providence Will Yet Grant Them The Fruits Of Their Struggle And Of Their Sacrifices. For God Has Never Abandoned Any Man Upon This Earth Unless He Has First Abandoned Himself.

The Result Of The Revolution In Germany Has Been To Establish A Democracy In The Best Sense Of The Word. We Are Steering Towards An Order Of Things Guaranteeing A Process Of A Natural And Reasonable Selection In The Domain Of Political Leadership, Thanks To Which That Leadership Will Be Entrusted To The Most Competent, Irrespective Of Their Descent, Name Or Fortune. The Memorable Words Of The Great Corsican That Every Soldier Carries A Field Marshal's Baton In His Knapsack, Will Find Its Political Complement In Germany.

I Was Europe's Last Chance.

For The Greater A Man's Works For The Future, The Less The Present Can Comprehend Them; The Harder His Fight, And The Rarer Success. If, However, Once In Centuries Success Does Come To A Man, Perhaps In His Latter Days A Faint Beam Of His Coming Glory May Shine Upon Him. To Be Sure, These Great Men Are Only The Marathon Runners Of History; The Laurel Wreath Of The Present Touches Only The Brow Of The Dying Hero.

The National Government Sees In Both Christian Denominations The Most Important Factor For The Maintenance Of Our Society.

Bolshevism Turns Flourishing Countryside Into Sinister Wastes Of Ruins; National Socialism Transforms A Reich Of Destruction And Misery Into A Healthy State With A Flourishing Economic Life.

Soldiers Of The Reich! This Day, You Are To Take Part In An Offensive Of Such Importance That The Whole Future Of The War May Depend On Its Outcome.

When There Is Change, It Must Not Alter The Content Of What Propaganda Is Driving At, But In The End Must Always Say The Same Thing. For Instance, A Slogan Must Be Presented From Different Angles, But The End Of All Remarks Must Always And Immutably Be The Slogan Itself. Only In This Way Can The Propaganda Have A Unified And Complete Effect.

Surrender Is Forbidden. Sixth Army Will Hold Their Positions To The Last Man And The Last Round And By Their Heroic Endurance Will Make An Unforgettable Contribution Toward The Establishment Of A Defensive Front And The Salvation Of The Western World.

The Readiness To Sacrifice One's Personal Work And, If Necessary, Even One's Life For Others Shows Its Most Highly Developed Form In The Aryan Race. The Greatness Of The Aryan Is Not Based On His Intellectual Powers; But Rather On His Willingness To Devote All His Faculties To The Service Of His Community.

There Is, Then, No Danger In The Circumstances That Anti-semitism Will Disappear, For It Is The Jews Themselves Who Add Fuel To Its Flames And See That It Is Kept Well Stoked. Before The Opposition To It Can Disappear, The Malady Itself Must Disappear. And From That Point Of View, You Can Rely On The Jews: As Long As They Survive, Anti-semitism Will Never Fade. (13th February 1945)

This Human World Of Ours Would Be Inconceivable Without The Practical Existence Of A Religious Belief.

Catholic Religion

The Great Masses Of People Do Not Consist Of Philosophers; Precisely For The Masses, Faith Is Often The Sole Foundation Of A Moral Attitude. ... For The Political Man, The Value Of A Religion Must Be Estimated Less By Its Deficiencies Than By The Virtue Of A Visibly Better Substitute.

Of Course, The Latter Made No Secret Of His Attitude Toward The Jewish People, And When Necessary He Even Took The Whip To Drive From The Temple Of The Lord This Adversary Of All Humanity, Who Then As Always Saw In Religion Nothing But An Instrument For His Business Existence.

I Want Everyone To Keep The Property That He Has Acquired For Himself According To The Principle: Benefit To The Community Precedes Benefit To The Individual. But The State Should Retain Supervision And Each Property Owner Should Consider Himself Appointed By The State. It Is His Duty Not To Use His Property Against The Interests Of Others Among His Own People. This Is The Crucial Matter. The Third Reich Will Always Retain Its Right To Control The Owners Of Property.

The More Abstractly Correct And Hence Powerful This Idea Will Be, The More Impossible Remains Its Complete Fulfillment As Long As It Continues To Depend On Human Beings... If This Were Not So, The Founders Of Religion Could Not Be Counted Among The Greatest Men Of This Earth... In Its Workings, Even The Religion Of Love Is Only The Weak Reflection Of The Will Of Its Exalted Founder; Its Significance, However, Lies In The Direction Which It Attempted To Give To A Universal Human Development Of Culture, Ethics, And Morality.

I Am Sure That The Japanese, The Chinese And The Peoples Of Islam Will Always Be Closer To Us Than, For Example, France, In Spite Of The Fact That We Are Related By Blood (...)

Nationalist Socialist Germany Wants Peace Because Of Its Fundamental Convictions. And It Wants Peace Also Owing To The Realization Of The Simple Primitive Fact That No War Would Be Likely Essentially To Alter The Distress In Europe. The Principal Effect Of Every War Is To Destroy The Flower Of The Nation. Germany Needs Peace And Desires Peace!
