Die systematische Plünderung Deutschlands seit 1945

Zum ersten Mal wird in diesem Buch umfassend und in allen Einzelheiten erzählt und belegt, welch immense Werte im Verlauf von 7 Jahrzehn-ten an Sachvermögen, geistigem Eigentum und finanziellen Tributen aus Deutschland herausgezogen wurden: Wie das Land nach der Niederlage 1945 von den Siegermächten regelrecht aus-geplündert wurde und warum das Ausmaß der Reparationen bis heute krass unterschätzt wird. Was hinter dem Projekt der europäischen Integration steckt und wie dem Steuerzahler...

Eastern front disasters predicted

Von Clausewitz  stated in his book “Vom Kriege” that war is only a continuation of state policy by other means. “Der Krieg ist … ein Akt der Gewalt, um den Gegner zur Erfüllung unseres Willens zu zwingen” War … is an act of violence intended to compel our opponent to fulfill our will … Violence, that is to say (for there is no moral force without the conception of states...

Finding the Foe – the German airmen

Finding the Foe, deals with the postwar discovery and recovery of wartime Luftwaffe aircrew who were downed and lost over the UK, most of them during 1940s. There is a lot of detective work involved here. Sometimes airmen have been identified with the tiniest clue, although each case has a common thread; they were all concluded by the diligent research of private individuals and researchers, many involving the author. Indeed, as a result of his work, Saunders was given a […]...

Finland’s Independence Day: A Northern Threshold Between Empires

Every year on the 6th of December, Finland marks its independence with a solemnity rare in the modern world. There is no excess, no carnival, no spectacle. Instead, households place two candles in their windows. The gesture is simple, and yet it carries the accumulated weight of centuries — a message of remembrance, endurance, and a quiet defiance that has shaped this northern land. Seen from afar, Finland’s Independence Day...

Folklore in Baltic history: Resistance and Resurgence

This book should be seen as a nuanced representation of the relationship between folklore studies and a socialist-totalitarian state, based on some of the significant issues in the history of folklore studies in the three countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, often referred to as “the Baltic countries.” This is not a complete and comprehensive history of folkloristics in the Baltic countries, nor is it an even representation of all....

Frederick the Great: A Birthday Reflection on the Philosopher-King (January 24)

January 24, marked the birth in 1712 of one of history’s most intriguing figures: Frederick II of Prussia, forever known as Frederick the Great. Born into a rigid military household under his authoritarian father, Frederick William I, the young prince rebelled quietly—devouring French literature, composing music, and dreaming of a world governed by reason rather than the lash. His early years were marked by tension, even a failed escape attempt that nearly cost him his life. Yet from these shadows […]...

Frederick the Great: Unveiling the Philosopher-King’s Literary Legacy

In the annals of history, few monarchs have left as lasting an imprint on both the political and intellectual spheres as Frederick II, commonly known as Frederick the Great. Born in 1712, Frederick ascended to the throne of Prussia in 1740, embarking on a transformative reign that combined military prowess with an unparalleled commitment to philosophical discourse. The present English selection of Frederick’s writings aims to shift the focus from...

GET READY FOR A WORLD CURRENCY

Consider the title page of The Economist in 1988, (9 jan. 1988) presented above, which insinuated another world money and noticeably included “2018” on the spread. Most realize that the financial world often arrange things decades ahead of time. The euro currency is such a case. “THIRTY years from now, Americans, Japanese, Europeans, and people in many other rich countries, and some relatively poor ones will probably be paying for...
Wendell Holmes

History is a lie

History is a lie. History is, as Wendell Holmes stated, “what the people who won say it is.” It has been warped over vast periods of time to fit with each generation’s idea of what is fact and what is truth. Without the existence of the secret societies, our history would have been totally different. The history of mankind is like a vast jigsaw puzzle. Only when all the pieces are laid down in the correct order can we see […]...

Is Pope Francis the Final Pontiff?

The passing of Pope John Paul II on April 2, 2005, marked a significant transition in the Catholic Church, but it also stirred curiosity about an ancient prophecy linked to the end of the papacy. With the traditional Rite of Extreme Unction, his death was solemnly acknowledged by the Vatican chamberlain, and Pope Benedict XVI took over. Yet, lurking behind this procession of Popes is a mysterious prediction from nearly...

Is the missing Ghent Altarpiece a map to the Holy Grail?

The iconography of The Ghent Altarpiece has since a long time fascinated  researchers. When it was finished in 1432, the work of art became instantly the most famous in Europe. It was the first real oil painting. Oil had been utilized to tie shades to artistic creations since the Middle Ages, however Jan van Eyck was the first to exhibit the genuine capability of oils, which permit far greater subtlety...
Sophists

Is truth an illusion?

TIDBITS The sophists were skeptics who doubted the possibility of attaining true knowledge of anything. They emphasized the practical application of rhetoric in civic and political life. Some claimed that they could teach both a thing and its opposite, simultaneously arguing both thesis and antithesis. One of the founders of sophism was Gorgias a Sicilian philosopher, orator, and rhetorician who settled in Athens where over his long life of 108 years he made large sums of money from his lecturing.
