The purpose wasn’t to protect against NATO tanks crossing into East Berlin, but rather, it was claimed, to stop Western scoundrels from entering the GDR for subversive purposes. It also stopped Eastern Germans from taking jobs in the West.Randall Bytwerkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09586984644417180021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994876869982868138.post-82725875127670607912023-02-16T17:08:51.075-05:002023-02-16T17:08:51.075-05:00I feel that the explanations for the Wall are on t...I feel that the explanations for the Wall are on their face ridiculous.

The scientist and author named CP Snow said that he had become widely known as the Public Enemy #1 of the Reich. I forget what he wrote that said that, but it is mentioned in time.com/Einstein-England as well. I know that Otto Strasser stole that "honor" (really, a great risk) from Einstein in 1940.<br /><br />I see some articles written about what a great reception he had in America, and that may have been a function of wanting a distraction after WWI. (The Beatles first became popular in Hamburg due to a similar cultural need, I think, after WWII of course.) Anyways the Einstein, beloved in America narrative is disrupted by articles like this in the NY Times:<br /><br />"HITLER IS 'GREATEST' IN PRINCETON POLL; Freshmen Put Einstein Second and Chamberlain Third.<br />PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 27-- Princeton's freshmen ***again*** have chosen Adolf Hitler as "the greatest living person" in the annual poll of their class conducted by The Daily Princetonian. Ninety three votes were given to the German Chancellor, as compared<br />with twenty-seven to Albert Einstein in second position and fifteen to Neville Chamberlain in third.<br /><br />I'm also looking for material about the Bolshevik revolution. Emperor Hirohito, Winston Churchill, the French, etc. hated their guts, as did Wilhelm II- who first said gassing Jews was a great idea in 1919. Which is what Churchill actually did that very same year, with poison gas delivered by artillery shells on Arkhangel, North Russia. This infuriated William Christian Bullitt Jr, our ambassador to Lenin. He demanded his observations be written down in the Library of Congress.. and it sheds some light on what the nationalist wikipedia editors don't want to talk about. :| <br /><br />Its highly relevant to the current Ukraine crisis because this is the origin of hostility between USA and Russia. My guess is the fear of Jewish backlash against Christians played a large role in many countries dealings with the Bolsheviks, who had enabled full universal suffrage in 1917, before they soured on the idea after about 70 countries attacked them between 1918 and 1922 or so. So the alternative to Judeophobia is that maybe we hated them for their Freedom. Eat your heart out, W. ;)Yes Huahuahua!

Striking in retrospect how much time the East Bloc devoted to “making the record” for future historians who, it turns out, never gave a damn and never will.
