Quote by William Manchester

“I have thought carefully in these last days whether it was part of my duty to consider entering into negotiations with that man. And concluded, if this long island story of ours is to end at last let it end only when each one of us lies choking in his own blood upon the ground.”

“Humpty Dumpty (Colonial Sonnet) Humpty Dumpty sat on a throne, he made a career of divide-n-rule. Whole west found a savior in a fool, as he was anointed the royal mule. He smuggled food from starving natives, for fighting troops were far more worthy. Adolf was designated the villain supremo, while he was the free world's beloved Humpty. It's fault of the natives to "breed like rabbits", he was right to be their judge and executioner. After all, human rights mean rights of the pale, freedom and equality don't apply to the darker. Humpty Dumpty was ready with his cigar, to fight the invaders on the beaches. Sure he was the right nut for the job, expertise lies in centuries of practice.”

“The object of this book is not to show that Hitler and his confederates were saints or that National Socialism was an ideal or even a desirable form of government. Its aim is a less ambitious one—to demonstrate that the rise of National Socialism was due in the main to the blind and revengeful policy of the Allies; that National Socialism, whatever its defects, saved first Germany and later Spain from becoming bulwarks of Communism; that the Western Powers under Roosevelt’s guidance did everything possible in the pre-War years to drive the German leaders to extremes; that the Roosevelt-Churchill policy of annihilating Germany as a military power served the interests of Communism and of Communism alone; that the “war crimes” were the work of a small band of fanatics; and that the German people as a whole were guilty of nothing more criminal than of defending their country in time of war.”

“El libro de 2054 páginas de Churchill "Segunda Guerra Mundial" no menciona el genocidio o el asesinato de judíos. Casualmente, Churchill fue un firme defensor de la legislación eugenésica antes del estallido de la segunda guerra mundial.”

“Colonialism was a mass extinction event, yet no textbook has the spine to bear the burden. You demonize hitler for his measly 6m white body count! Americas were radiant with life, love and wonder, then columbus happened, and population dropped 90%, bengal had the world's finest silk industry, then churchill happened, and industry collapsed, 4 million starved to death, millions massacred across india, like australia, like leopold-infestation in congo. Everywhere the white man has laid his eyes on, plague, famine and massacre has followed.”

“Poultry Farm (Sonnet) First law of poultry farming: keep your livestock busy with trivial problems, so they stay ever oblivious to systemic criminal activities. That's why the West makes such a song and dance about Hitler, so that the actual world criminals never lose their pedestal of heroic honor. World War 2 is the ultimate geopolitical smoke screen, fed to the livestock religiously, with Hitler as the moral decoy, so that Planet Earth never grows the brain or the backbone to question the extinction level crimes of the White Allies. Fascism is not an anomaly, it's the Operating System of Mock Democracy.”

“The most beautiful things are the ones that come unexpectedly. It is the unexpected thing that makes the change, and it brings out the best. All we need to do is take risks sometimes dear reader and walk on the path that we fear most. That is the path that’s going to make us grow.”
