“When anything is subject to the light it becomes visible… Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.”
Hitler was a neurotic germaphobe. His fixation on racial cleansing was rooted in his fear of biological threats to the German people. How did he convince a nation to submit to his neurosis? He understood human psychology…
He knew he needed to magnify fear. The vehicle was an appeal to the noble goal of “public health.” Tuberculosis was the great enemy. And it had many carriers.
Early on, there were mandatory X-rays of German and Polish citizens. It was a new technology and there was concern about radiation. But to root out the TB devil, individual rights were subordinated to communal well-being.
“It’s just an X-ray."
The unclean were marked & restricted. Citizens disarmed. Marriages prohibited. Assets stolen. Citizens imprisons…
400,000 Germans were forcibly sterilized. 5,000 died as a result of the operation. Acceptable sacrifices on the altar of safety.
“It’s just a surgery.”
TB vaccines were developed using children (dissected and then murdered) instead of animals, because they had to know how it would impact humans. Maybe that’s what they told the judge at the Nuremberg trials. I don’t know. Maybe Fauci knows. In violating the Nuremberg Code, he must have had a good reason, too.
Many died from those experimental injections. But…
"It's just a needle.”
It’s for a greater good.
We might as well use it.
No sense in letting good research go to waste.
It was just a few kids.
It was just unborn babies. Dissected alive, but still…
It will honor their memory.
My Bishop said it’s fine… remote, you know.
We have to stop TB. We have to stop the virus.
We must.
I don’t want to die.
Later on, the Nazis used TB as biowarfare against the Allies and infected ghettos/camps to facilitate extermination.
Corporations jumped on board the ship of Nazi horrors.
Bayer experimented on humans for TB research... and made Zyklon B for the gas chambers and funded Mengele’s research, knowing fully what he was doing.
But... it's about TB so it's okay. Crimes against humanity? No big deal. Very short prison term. US protection. Bayer must make some good aspirin.
Fanta was invented specifically for the Nazi troops by Coca Cola.
Henry Ford built war vehicles for the Nazis.
Chase Bank froze Jewish assets.
IBM built a death-machine infrastructure.
Random House published Nazi propaganda.
Hugo Boss designed uniforms for the SS and Hitler Youth.
Swarovski was part of the Nazi leadership.
BMW built Nazi planes and motorcycles, used slave labor, and accepted stolen Jewish businesses.
Nestle used free labor from Nazi prison camps.
The Associated Press participated in Nazi propaganda.
But… it’s probably all okay.
(This is where Americans must work hard to implement cognitive dissonance)…
It’s just a mask.
Just a star.
Just a jab.
For public health.
The experts say...
You can’t keep your job, shop, go to school, get medical care, travel, worship, or speak freely. You can’t marry, bury your dead, decline and injection, visit your loved ones, or receive the sacraments.
Don’t worry though. It's for public health.
The signs of the time are becoming more clear. We are in a time of shaking. There is a great cracking of the pious facade. When the temptation to sing a little louder to drown out the voices of the marginalized is pressing on us like we never imagine it would, we try to reassure ourselves…
“We aren’t like the Germans. We’ll see it coming. Won’t we?”
Awake, O sleeper! We must awaken to a godly order. Let the light pour in on evil. Awake!
The only answer is a deepening, a shaking, and an awakening to the Person of Jesus Christ. It is Christ who will guide us and embolden us, renew us and bring us peace in evil times. It is He alone who can provide the courage to raise prophetic voices and stand in defense of the vulnerable.
Come, Holy Spirit. Embolden us with holy love. Amen.
