New World Order Title: Hitler's Christmas party: Rare photographs capture leading Nazis celebrating in 1941 A less festive bunch it’s hard to imagine. This is Hitler and his henchmen celebrating Christmas in 1941 – not that you’d know it from their glum expressions. These probably had something to do with the recent dispiriting failure of Nazi attempts to seize Moscow and take control of Russia. The pictures from December 18, which have only just come to light, show Hitler and his generals at a party for SS officer cadets in Munich. But the Nazi Christmas was far from traditional. Hitler believed religion had no place in his 1,000-year Reich, so he replaced the Christian figure of Saint Nicholas with the Norse god Odin and urged Germans to celebrate the season as a holiday of the ‘winter solstice’, rather than Christmas. Out of sight at the top of the tree behind Hitler was a swastika instead of an angel, and many of the baubles carried runic symbols and iron cross motifs. The remarkable pictures were captured by Hugo Jaeger, one of the Fuhrer’s personal photographers. He buried the images in glass jars on the outskirts of Munich towards the end of the war, fearing that they would be taken away from him. Later he sold them to Life Magazine in America which published many of them this week. Other photographs show brownshirt thugs drinking beer. In 1944-1945, the Nazis tried to reinvent Christmas once again as a day to commemorate the dead, in particular fallen soldiers – by that time Germany had lost almost four million men in the war. But while many Germans baked biscuits and cakes in the shape of swastikas and adorned their trees with the symbols of the Nazi regime, most still called the festival Christmas.

The Entire SS was either Lutheran/Catholic. Not One Excommunicated. See latest Pope Hitler Youth Ratzinger for details.
#9. To: mcgowanjm (#8) Jim, Let's talk about your "oil at $30 a barrel by Christmas" prediction, shall we?
#13. To: Nebuchadnezzar, All (#9) Let's talk about your "oil at $30 a barrel by Christmas" prediction, shall we? At the same time of $29.75 to be precise oil 8D the Empire's Periphery will be under extreme duress. Think Iraq's just doing super duper now, eh. 8D A Christmas card from one of the in-laws was unintentionally soaked in irony. I’ll skip the rant about celebrating Christ and mass, the two components of Christ’s mass (i.e., Christmas) in which I don’t believe, much less celebrate. And, too, I”ll forgo the equally tempting rant about a religious holiday that promotes conspicuous consumption in an empire founded on secular ideals. On to that card: It was filled with proud stories of the kids in the U.S. Army, and it closed with, “We pray for peace.” I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Never mind that the writer almost certainly is fooling herself. If her prayers are answered, that’ll put the battle-ready kids out of their jobs. And, since war comprises the foundation for our entire industrial economy, the empire almost surely would sink to the bottom of the already stinking swamp within weeks of an outbreak of peace. Praying for peace makes as much sense as supporting the troops, and both cases of wishful thinking are clothed in lies."
#14. To: All (#13) And note not One. Fucking. Word. about Anything the Imperial City has promised and Epic Failed to deliver on. Because you can't, Neb. Like breathing water. ;} Like the Ohio State players nailed for selling jerseys and rings while the BigBoys like QB Newton at Auburn skate away with $1.5 million. The New Normal. You'll see the price the Empire paid to keep oil from hitting $29.75 this year. It will leave a mark. ;}
