"Secret Records reveal six million Jews slaughtered".
Yeah right, but one can not even show those 'records' let alone demonstrate that there is empirical merits to them. It's the usual shell game playing hide and seek with the evidence. You know who also does act like this? Fraudsters. That's why one should immediately cut all ties with that kind of actors. But instead they seem to get into all positions of prominence: Academia, Journalism, government officials, church. Now a society political structure can handle a few of those. It should be manageable, but when it goes over a approximate level and especially when they gain dominance and the behavior become more normative, it gets dangerous for those organizations and all people they do have some power or influence overt. This is how I imagine ancient civilizations did collapsed. The dupes, fraudsters and functionally insane taking over the show there. Not immediately of course, but slowly, but certainly, because the previous core group submitted to dictates of 'tolerance' and 'compassion' with those that 'are different'.
@Hieldner
Hoettl seems to be the type of guy that knows how the wind is blowing. Gaining compliance in 1945 was relatively easy. "If you are not compliant", imagine what could happen to your family, if they were transferred to the Soviets. Especially people that had access to intelligence reports on what was happening in Eastern Europe would not be eager to want something like this. There is of course even more subtle methods of 'coercive persuasion'. But with Hoettl I doubt much would have been necessary. He was 30 years at that stage. Essentially having most of his life still in front of him. He live another 55 years. .
Even wiki admits:
Work for US Army intelligence
Höttl was released from confinement in December 1947 and the US Army refused his extradition to the Austrian People's Courts, which at the time took action against Nazi perpetrators.[5] In March 1948 he got in contact with the CIC and became subsequently control chief of two espionage operations, namely "MOUNT VERNON" and "MONTGOMERY".[3] His task was to conduct espionage against the Communist Party of Austria and Soviet activities in the Soviet-occupied part of Austria.[3] Höttl was described by the CIC as "an excellent source for ideas, both concrete and theoretical, on the expansion of American Intelligence in Austria."[3]
Later life
In 1952 Höttl opened a school in Bad Aussee and served as its director until 1980. Under the name Walter Hagen he wrote the books The Secret Front (Enigma Books, 1954) and Unternehmen Bernhard. Ein historischer Tatsachenbericht über die größte Geldfälscheraktion aller Zeiten (Welsermühl Verlag, Wels 1955), a historical report on the biggest currency counterfeit operation in history (the Germans had printed millions of British pounds). Under his own name he later published Einsatz für das Reich. Im Auslandsgeheimdienst des Dritten Reiches, (Siegfried Bublies, Koblenz 1997, ISBN 3-926584-41-6).
Höttl received a cross of merit for his work as a historian and as a school director, despite the protest of surviving Nazi victims. Höttl died 27 June 1999 in Altaussee, Austria, aged 84.
Clearly took a lucrative path there.
Opening a school wasn't cheap either. I doubt he earned that money from a normal salary. We had a nice word for that kind of people: A joiner.
Also, getting decorated by left-leaning or cuckish Austrian governments, while being an ardent 'NAZI'. Sorry I don't think so, but I guess there were several placements inside the Austrian structure who were helping each other.
I'd be surprised, if the
Cameron-articles were made up entirely. It was probably published in a smaller volume and didn't get that much attention at the time. What was flooding international media and caught attention was the course of the war and of course atrocity propaganda. And lots of people including intellectuals were rather askind in 1945 Quo-Vadis? Some exotic academic won't be of that much interest. And I think people didn't expect a shrink to say anything meaningful on the matter anyway. Especially in democracies people are under the impression that they are the ones that decide and that they 'can't be influenced by propaganda and psychological trickery'. That was actually only realized after the 1945 after American prisoners were subject to brain washing and thought reform as POW of the Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamese etc. Edgar Schein wrote on this, but so did Robert Lifton. In fact lots of Lifton's examples deal with observations in Communist China.
Concerning "Psychoanalyzing Nazi-Germany", I realize that most of what was written about it, is actually quackery. It still is the foundation and motivation for the Reeducation or Thought-Reform Program that followed. It served in terms of target definition. They were aiming for family, fatherhood, folk, national culture, respect for authority, tradition, etc. First get the youth rebellious and turn them against the elders. When confusion comes in work on them via academia and media to give them 'a new value system'. That's in short was done. I think Lewin had more on this to say. Don't forget that a large number of psychologists, sociologists, etc. were employed and involved in the Program. It's a far bigger deal than most people think today. And while participants may think that they were 'fighting the Nazis'... The real aim was to devastate Germany culture completely over time.
Cameron may have been one of the extremists there. And I think one reason for the initial lack of success of the program (before 1960) was that the methods were far to blunt. And most people may not deny the accusation, but from memory knew that they aren't actually believable. The success with the program came actually only after time went on, memories faded and cultural production became a substitute for those memories. What gave it the edge was that those preaching Holocaustianity and 'the new values' were actually Germans from educated families that became teachers, academics, journalist, preachers, etc. "If even our smart people say it, than it must be somehow true". That they would have to rely on German collaborators was already pointed out early in the Program. Someone with an American or Yiddish Accent telling them that "The NAZIS were monsters" would quickly be ridiculed in private conversations. And it is those private conversations were the actual forming of opinions takes place (plus the inner thought processes). What's given by media and education is only giving keywords and setting an agenda on what to discuss.
'Interrogation techniques"
I heard about this. Supposedly it's done to annoy a person and get making the person contact. Probably it is just a way to distress a person so 'it opens up' and starts a conversation.
One would have to look into it. Also: Who is more likely to make a false confession? A hardened criminal or someone that is actually innocent and finds himself confronted with repetitive monstrous accusations all over the media?
'Feminine traits' What I meant was that in the community females don't count a lot. Usually public behavior then starts to appear to be 'more masculine'. That's my experience with e.g. Muslims or Black communities. But it all depends about what more specifically one is talking about. Feminine behavior tends to be 'more compliant', more towards group norms, more average, more emotional, etc. It is also more manipulative and more indirect in its approach. So some of it may indeed more prevalent among Jewish males than with the members of other communities. But there is a general trend to disparage 'male behavior'. That is then defined as 'toxic masculinity'. Being dominant, energetic, competitive, showing initiative, actually also being more rational and cool in ones approach... has been made more suspect over the years. That has been done by picking outliers like violent criminals or rapists and putting them into a bad light as examples for 'toxic masculinity'. That seems to be the technique of choice, pick the exceptional and make it the representative of a group. If those are good examples motivations within the group to perform go up. But if it is bad examples, ugly ones, hated ones than people start distancing themselves from this.
This is also done with political ideologies or religions. Statements from them will be over a large spectrum and so will be representatives. If you want to promote it, pick the 'good examples' where they appear just and intelligent. If denigration is the aim simply pick some idiots out of the group and select rather harsh statements from them. Also list accusations against that political group and be repetitive with what you tell there. The result is a distortion of historical realties, which can even lead into superstition. Myths are created giving the whole thing power. The Ukraine conflict is a recent example for this. What's different to me compared to the past is that it is getting more surreal in my observation. Putin being called 'another Hitler'. he himself stating he wants to denazify Ukraine. The leader of Ukraine being a lewd type of Jew. New Left Western politicians (whose party's always wrote pacifism onto their flags) calling for war against Russia and wanting to supply Ukraine with lots of military material. The world seems to be getting more mad by the decade. I remember how Communist Terrorists were made into 'heroes' or even 'messiah like figures', while ordinary civil servants were made into villain. Then the 9-11 affair, the Iraq war, and more recently the 'refugee crisis' and the 'covid-pandemic'... Shocking how otherwise ordinary people turned into dupes in no time after they hype was only big enough.
