Kaiser Wilhelm & Teddy Roosevelt

Led us to National Socialism

All I know is what I read in the papers. Here is a news article about self-censoring media in the Great Depression that followed the Panic of 1907–a depression brought on by Pure Food and Drug law enforcement of that year. The Kaiser of Germany spoke too freely and two governments joined forces to cover it up for 26 years. The Atlantic published the interview in 1934. That was the year Herbert Hoover’s Narcotics Limitation Convention of 1931 made the essential principles of a planned economy into law and frightened German pharma into backing the Nazis. See the article: (link)

The famous “lost interview” is presented in the May issue of the Atlantic monthly magazine by William Harlan Hale, son of the man to whom Emperor William II, of Germany, spoke so freely and so indiscreetly. This is the gist of the views expressed by the Kaiser: The inevitable world crisis was a clash between Japan and Occidental nations: East and West must meet, and the West must conquer. Great Britain was guilty of a sort of political miscegenation and allying herself with Japan. [Japan quietly made British Indian opium into morphine for sale to China. Eventually Formosa (now Taiwan) began farming opium and coca].

War Held Necessary. War was necessary. War was Christian. Theodore Roosevelt, then president of the United States, was his hero – a dominating, militaristic leader he hoped he himself was. Thus the Kaiser spoke. It was in July, 1908, that he consented to the interview by Hale, close friend of Theodore Roosevelt. The meeting was on the Imperial yacht, Hohenzollern, at anchor in the fjord of Bergen. In the Atlantic Monthly, Hale writes that the Emperor voiced “the most amazingly indiscreet statements ever uttered by the head of a great nation.” (…)

World Situation Dangerous.
The world situation was precarious at that time. The first-rate powers were in a fine state of balance – like a mixture of chemicals, ready to explode. The Russo-Japanese war was three years past. Germany was carrying on a naval race with Great Britain, a military race with France. The Algeciras conference, had left Germany somewhat of an Ishmael among nations. So, the German foreign office evidently believed that the Kaiser had spoken too freely. The Hale interview was to appear in The Century magazine, December 1908. (…)

“In a world of practical facts,” the Kaiser said, “we have to fight, even for righteousness’ sake. The Bible is full of fights – jolly good fights some of them were. It is a mistaken idea that Christianity has no countenance for war.” He contended that the sword should clear the way for the missionary. With the assertion that the world’s greatest warriors had been Christians, the Kaiser turned to the Japanese. The trouble with them,” he said, “is that they don’t want any religion.

Asiatic Situation. The Asiatic situation was the Emperor’s chief theme. “Everybody knows what must come to pass between Asia and the West, the yellow race and the white,” he said. [This is nearly a decade after the Monteiro Lobato book, English title America’s Black President, predicted France would succumb to the yellow peril.(link) It was also a couple of years before socialist orator Jack London produced “The Unparalleled Invasion,” featuring genocidal destruction of the entire Chinese race.] (link)

“We know this much about him” (the Japanese) the Kaiser declared. “He hates the white man worse than the white man hates the devil. The Japanese are devils, that’s a simple fact. They are devils.” (…)

Religion was the next subject. Hale makes this comment: “clearly, he esteems himself a Lord with spiritual as well as temporal responsibility.”
The future belongs to the white race, never fear,” the Emperor exclaimed. “It belongs to the Anglo-Teuton, the man who came from northern Europe – where you to whom America belongs, came from – the home of the German ***.”
“It belongs to the fair-skinned man, and it belongs to Christianity and to Protestantism. We are the only people who can save it. There is not power in any other civilization or any other religion that can save humanity; and the future – belongs – to us!”

[This is where I find these ominous parallels between TR’s Comstockist race-suicide theories, Kaiser Wilhelm’s Christianizing racial jihads for “the fair-skinned man,” Adolf Hitler’s Christian enlistment of National Socialist Womanhood into dams for breeding altruist Hitlerjugend, and today’s Trump Trilbys. All are bullies seeking to use the violence of law to AGAIN impose these lamentable superstitions on the defenseless.]

Women’s duty to the Nazi Party

Race-suicide laws 78 years after National Socialism

Germany’s leader addressed the Nazi Womanhood organization after rallying the Hitler Youth movement at Nuremberg Stadium, September 8, 1934. Adolf Hitler assured his listeners that “The National Socialist Movement has not only seen but also found in woman its most loyal assistant from the time of its conception onwards.” Thirty-nine years later, “Stockholm Syndrome” would be coined to describe how Swedish bank robbery hostages cringed fawningly and Patti Hearst genuflected and robbed a bank to please captors. The appetizer was flattery:

“That which perhaps only few philosophically gifted intellects are capable of analyzing scientifically can be sensed by the nature of an unspoiled human being with instinctive certainty. The feeling and, above all, the nature of woman has always acted throughout the ages as a supplement to the intellect of man.” This he followed up with thanks to Providence, and a few unkind words on the side to Christianity’s competitors: “The catchword “Women’s Liberation” is merely a phrase invented by the Jewish intellect, and its contents are marked by the same spirit.” The entrée was a rehash of Teddy Roosevelt’s Republican Party eugenics.(link) Hitler called on “woman to devote her life to maintaining and multiplying this important cell” and summoned “the willingness of the man to safeguard life.” Then came The Sting.

“Every child to which she gives birth is a battle which she wages in her Volk’s fateful question of to be or not to be.” Here, as in Roosevelt’s letters of 1902 and 1907, was the assignment of guilt, the blame for race suicide would fall on shirkers disdainful of God, hence easy prey for intellectuals!

“We will stand up against an intellectualism of the most depraved sort which would tear asunder what God hath joined. Because woman originates in the most basic root of all, she is also the most stable element in the preservation of a people. Ultimately, she has the most infallible sense for whatever is necessary to prevent a race from ceasing to be, for her children would bear the major brunt of all the suffering.” Hitler then made it clear that Collectivism and Duty are the true values, and sneered at “rights,” bragging:

“…we have gained, in millions of women, the most loyal and zealous fellow fighters. Female fighters for a life together in the service of together preserving our life. Fighters who fix their gaze not upon the rights which a Jewish intellectualism pretends to offer them, but upon the obligations Nature has burdened us with.”

The reader’s honesty will discern the similarities among these mystical variants of communo-fascist totalitarianism, and newspapers record how popular the German version of eugenic collectivism was among American Silver Shirts, Klansmen, Bundists and Radio Evangelists supportive of Herbert Hoover and Adolf Hitler and totally enraged by Franklin Delano Roosevelt–seen as a “traitor to his class” and totally unsupportive of his fifth cousin Teddy’s legacy. (link)

Certainly those Republicans never expected the Anschluss, death camps or genocidal war. Even today many are genuinely surprised to learn of Army of God devotées blowing up parks in Atlanta, machine-gunning police and civilians at a women’s clinic in Colorado or methodically murdering physicians out of passionate zeal for their “pro-life” movement. Like Christian National Socialism before them, God’s Own Prohibitionists are dedicated to three propositions: 1. women must be stripped of individual rights when pregnant 2. the Political State must send men with guns to coerce females to reproduce by involuntary labor as before the 13th Amendment was ratified, and 3. leaders who seek to back these propositions with what Adam Smith called “the violence of law” are ethical Christian leaders who–though they walk, talk and sound like Adolf Hitler, are nothing at all like Hitler, or Mussolini, or Franco, or Vargas, or Ceausescu or Dave Smith.

Republican racial slaves

Roosevelt v. Race Suicide, 1902, 1907

Republicans struggle to forget Teddy Roosevelt’s 1902 and 1907 letters on the dangers of race suicide. To jog the memory of libertarians, here is the story. Teddy despised libertarianism. This he makes clear in a 1902 letter critical of a woman’s article. This sets the tone:

“An easy, good-natured kindliness, and a desire to be “independent”—that is, to live one’s life purely according to one’s own desires—are in no sense substitutes for the fundamental virtues, for the practice of the strong, racial qualities without which there can be no strong races—….  But the man or woman who deliberately avoids marriage, and has a heart so cold as to know no passion and a brain so shallow and selfish as to dislike having children, is in effect a criminal against the race, and should be an object of contemptuous abhorrence by all healthy people.” (link) [Hitler was thirteen-and-a-half at the time the U.S. President denounced unreproductive women as criminals]

“Teedy” followed these thoughts with a second letter 5 years later, angrily scolding a magazine editor for allowing a statement contradicting Rooseveltian eugenic theory to see light. T.R. harrumphed:

Our people could still exist under all kinds of iniquities in government; under a debased currency, under official corruption, under the rule of a socialistic proletariat, or a wealthy oligarchy. All these things would be bad for us, but the country would still exist. But it could not continue to exist if it paid heed to the expressed or implied teachings of such articles as this. These teachings furnish excuses for every unnatural prevention of child-bearing, for every form of gross and shallow selfishness of the kind that is really the deepest reflection on, the deepest discredit to, American social life. …
… all schemes about having “doctors in public schools,” about kindergartens, civic associations, women’s clubs, and training families up in this way or that are preposterous nonsense if there are to be no families to train; and that it is a simple mathematical proposition that, where the average family that has children at all has only three, the race at once diminishes in numbers, and if the tendency is not checked will vanish completely, – in other words, there will be race suicide. (link)

At the time, the Comstock laws banning ALL forms of birth control were in full and brutal force.(link) In Austria, Adolf Hitler was turning 18. Is it possible that Theodore Roosevelt, like Edward Bellamy, helped shape the boy’s attitudes regarding women’s duties to The Race? Hitler loved Wild West stories, and could easily have perused a translation of T.R.’s The Winning of the West (1896), which asserted, to Ayn Rand’s later dismay, that:

“… the most ultimately righteous of all wars is a war with savages… it is of incalculable importance that America, Australia and Siberia should pass out of the hands of their red, black, and yellow aboriginal owners, and become the heritage of the dominant world races.” This was when Hitler was seven. This stuff was tremendously popular as tensions rose between Balkan opium producers and Austria’s Big Pharma. Hitler’s own Catholic Church was keenly interested in race suicide preoccupations, as was Mussolini’s government.
