Essay: A word about political assassinations

With the assassination attempt on Prime Minister Robert Fico, much was said about how Slovakia has not been known for political assassinations. This experience, (and "tolerance for diversity") is part of its Westernization and embracing Western values process.

Many societies have known eras of political assassinations. The US in the 1960s and the US Civil war era. The four German signers of the Armistice to end WWI were all killed within two years, regarded as traitors. Adolf Hitler was one of the rabble rousers inciting such violence. In 1923 his Putsch tried to overthrow the local Bavarian government. In 1925 he was convicted of insurrectionist activity and received a lengthy sentence to a summer spa prison camp (he was a veteran, local war hero and leader so he received some leniency from hard labor. At trial, 'there was not a dry eye in the room when he spoke'). In prison he was granted more leniency in having his sentence reduced by showing remorse, repentance, and publicly condemning political assassinations - which he did in Mein Kampf. He reversed himself by squarely condemning political assassinations when the idea of legitimately being elected to lead Germany someday was held out to him, which was the prime motivation in writing Mein Kampf.

Why? The liberal German government informed him, "Hey, if you wanna be Chancellor someday and have the Nazi party take over the government, you better condemn political assassinations or you yourself might be a victim someday."

So after he did the bidding of the establishment in condemning and helping quell political assassinations, the social and political instability it produces, he received an early release (probably for "good behavior").

That part of the Hitler narrative is often overlooked - that Mein Kampf was written primarily to apologize and condemn political assassinations (note: pay attention to the different uses of "political violence" vs "political assassinations" in MSM narratives). If the Weimar gubmint really didn't like Hitler, they would put him through all sorts of lawfare. Instead, they cut him a plea deal by making him a legitimate contender for office.

This is what wars do to people, they make psychopaths like Hitler (he's far from the only one, he just rose to the top) drunk on killing. Once the killing is set in motion, it's hard to stop. Like the CIA goons who whacked Kennedy. It becomes an addiction which they can't overcome. -I hope you're proud of your work, Blinken, Biden, and Sullivan.
