[Quote from above]
'In the case of spiritual terror, it was applied to Jim Garrison, breaking his momentum in a fusillade of slander
In the case of physical terror, Hit List by Richard Belzer and David Wayne is replete with examples: Domingo Benevidez did not identify Oswald as Tippit's killer--until his lookalike brother was fatally shot in the head.
Waco displayed both: spiritual terror with the long build up of Federal forces and the deprivations and provocations towards the captives, then tanks rampant spraying flamable gas into kerosene lamp-lit spaces buttressed with bales of flammable hay.
In Dallas the Wanted poster, security stripping, obvious crossfire, ludicrous eliminatinon of the patsy--spiritual terror.
Physical terror: the president is publicly massacred in a murderous fussilade and a fluff panel of candy-asses calls it good.
No Communist will ever burn down the Reichstag again; we'll send it home.
The danger of Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden is that they rip the sheep's clothing off the wolves of the security state:"
[End Quote]
Terror is as terror does.
Yep the point I took of the Shirer quote is that AHitler was not fully displaying his psychosis in the early days of his life.
He was vulnerable to manipulation.
So many try to blame military service for Hitler's slide into hate as a lens to view the world.
His reaction to "social democrats" as parasites born of the Slav "pollution" of the Nordic homeland with the "Jews" helping,
to me shows he was already on the road to insanity and hate before the German military mindbenders had direct contact with the man.
In that context of "pre-war" Munich and the interactions AHitler had with people, he wasn't that "different" from other people in Munich.
When he according to John Toland's work, was detained for suspicion of avoiding conscription into the "detested Austrian" Army by moving to Munich, his neighbors and the authorities held favorable opinions of him, writing letters to the Austrian authorities to grant him an extension of time to answer the questions.
He was not the only German to think democracy was too slow and ineffective. Nor to think the Reich was invaded by bloodlines inferior to the northern Germanic lines. Just radical maybe but not out of the mainstream thought yet in say 1912-13.
Those details of his pre-military life will come out later I hope.
If death had come to AHitler in the war another name would have sufficed.
There are always some kinds of people around operating without an internal moral compass.
Sometimes it seems AHitler's biography is a study in how to create a terrorist.
No Gitmo needed, no Abu Garieb either.
I'm a little side tracked by Belzer's Hit List, it is good to see someone continue the Penn Jones Jr. ideas.
Best Regards
Jim
