Chapter 17: American calendar

On Sunday "Americans" giving no food -- kin liability because of a toilet lid -- offense is punished with 3 days hunger torture -- a parcel from a girl thrown over the fence is punished with 1 day hunger torture -- barbarian collective jokes -- from 50 days 35 days are hunger torture days -- mass flight ending with a "joke" or with a mass murder -- mass murderer folk of "U.S.A" with extinction of primary nations and with slavery -- no moral of white people in the "U.S.A."

[Hunger torture on Sundays: criminal "Americans" don't give food on Sundays]

Communication is not easy for the populations on Earth, as it is already difficult for the masses to understand themselves.

I have never been in America and therefore I do not know the customs of this country. When I take my experience of Rheinberg as a base, then I have all grounds to believe that in the "U.S.A." there is no meal on Sundays in the political upper class. In England only all joyful things are prohibited. In "America" also meals are rated as joyful things. Sunday has to be a fasting day there just to the contrary to all other countries of the Western world. Only by such mentality and tradition I can explain the fact that during eight weeks in Rheinberg during our joyful stay with the "American" administration there was never given food on Sundays.

Thus we were living with a good calendar also when there was no calendar distributed on paper. When there was no food this was a Sunday. When there was no food during two days, then it could be only the Christian Whitsun lasting two days. Because Eastern was during the war yet, and for Christmas it was not cold enough.

This simple was our calendar, just like a simple line [p.159]. The week was always beginning well. During the first weekdays there was fasting. This could not be called hunger. We were suffering hunger each day already.

[Hunger torture by criminal "Americans" with kin liability because of a toilet tap -- little violations of rules punished with 3 days of hunger]

Other days were on the same level as Sundays and festivities, the days of justice. When someone had stolen the wooden toilet tap in the night - during a time when wooden floor panels and wooden taps existed - then the commander was ordering a Christian festivity day, one more fasting day. In this way the whole camp was informed that a toilet tap had been stolen and did not get any food. I don't know if the guy really was a catholic and therefore knew the use of the Triduum [4 days Easter]. Sometimes he was taking revenge punishing a little sin punishing the whole camp with three days fasting. Perhaps he was a nationalist who wanted to spare some dollars for his home land. Perhaps he was privately a good merchant and was making a black market with the spared food.

[Hunger torture by criminal "Americans" with kin liability because girl threw parcel over the fence]

Perhaps the case was also more simple and it was only a superior military head as it was believed to exist only in the Prussian Army and it's successor states. How otherwise he could have the idea to punish the whole camp with a fasting day [p.160] because a girl had thrown a food parcel over the wire fence? This virgin only had had the courage to do this before his eyes because she did not know the "American" badges of rank.

[Barbarian collective jokes with hunger torture - not important which uniform the military staff is wearing]

When I think about that there were also soldiers from Vienna in the Wehrmacht of the Third Reich, and these Vienna national socialists were charming people in private life but they were brute drillers and oppressors in the army, then it will be also possible that the Democrats from Ohio or from Wisconsin will suffer backslides committing barbarian collective military jokes. Additionally one has to add here that uniforms and badges of rank do not spoil humanity but the only disclosing of what character a person is. And the shabbiness of a character is never depending on any national colors of any flag.

[From the 50 days about 35 days are days with hunger torture]

The summery with the statistics is coming out like this: From 50 days of stay under "American" majestic dignity in Rheinberg 35 days were normal hunger days where only ravenous hunger was served without any system. About 15 days were real fasting days fostering penitence and mouth and throat and stomach had really to relax.

Not only this "American" calendar was causing us just a headache, [but] the "American" people's character was presenting many enigmas to us - when there can be spoken about such a character generally [p.161].

[Mass flight - Rhine as a border - a second flight ending in a hail of bullets of the criminal "Americans"

One day I saw in a clear night where the starry sky could be seen how prisoners were manipulating the wire fence loosening making a big hole for an outbreak. As fast like an arrow they were going outside flitting in the high grass from tree to tree. Watching this picture I was remembered to the swimming dolphins near Kiel. I was contemplating this mass flight not without sorrow. But when I was near enough to see the details I saw outside near the pass an "American" soldier. In a slightly curbed position he was helping the prisoners that no one of the refugees would be bothers by any of the rusty stings. Then he gave anybody a little friendly kick into the ass reaching freedom. He was enjoyed as I could see. As a fair sports man he gave a chance to any jail breaker. He was an advanced man, thinking more than any other man, this nice helpful guy. With his simple mind he was already thinking in the dimensions of Marshall Plan, of Atlantic Pact and of rearmament.

I almost had decided to be also a member of this snake which was taking it's flight. But I considered the problem how to pass the Rhine. There was hardly any chance for this. When I was thinking about this problem yet I was shocked by a noise of machine guns at the other side of the camp. Without any hurry I crossed the camp to see what was going on there. Also here the German soldiers had made a hole in the barbed wire and had created an exit. But there was not [p.162] a joyfully grinning sportsman aside, but this was a hunter. Probably he had suffered too long not having any training with living targets in front of his murder gun. Now he was using the living targets which were offered to him by nature. At last there was something to extinguish again. The guy was doing it like this permitting the flight for a handful of German prisoners. And then he was mowing them down. That means, they were scrawling all on the floor and thus they were on the floor already, he only had to extinguish them. He was managing this with the indifference of a butcher's assist who was executing his daily quota of swines in a slaughterhouse.

His calendar was retarded yet, no, modern. His action corresponded to the present kind of thinking, not of the thinking of the future. He was translating the basics of the Morgenthau Plan into the simple language of a killer.

[Criminal "Americans" are a people of mass murderers: primary nations and slavery was already committed]

It was seldom the case that I could watch the nobleness and comradeship and humanity so near to hatred, greed and desire to kill. Really, it seemed that the "American" popular character is becoming a little bit a problem concerning these aspects. We have to decide to presume that there are also good and bad persons at the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. There are Quakers and gangsters, there are people sending atomic bombs to Japan and Care parcels to Germany, there are men delivering half of Germany to Bolshevism and then saving Berlin managing an airlift with any commitment they have without any example of before. [The blockage of Berlin by Stalin was the revenge of the foundation of racist Zionist Israel permitted by Truman]. It's very probable that priest seminars [p.164], mother's houses for nurses, societies saving shipwrecked men in "America" also get their young generation as also penal workhouses, spies of state's police and murder commandos. And concerning the racial policy of the Third Reich we needed decades yet recovering our conscience from the horrors and shame [but the Hitchcock films are a fake, the shame is not that big but is falling on the "U.S.A."]. Should we be as far that also Jews had forgiven us, then but only then we may look around in the world, in England and in South Africa, in the "United States" and even in Palestine investigating if there are only archangels of racial politics.

The natives in North, Central and in South "America" were not treated according to the Hague Convention, nor treated according to the Geneva Conventions, nor treated according to the Magna Charta of the human rights. Also slave trade with Negroes of Africa is not at all an exploit of our culture. The quarrel can only be about if the horror had been committed ten years ago, hundred years ago, or five hundred years ago, but there is not a special difference for the ones who neither were committing anything nor had any responsibility. The shame is on all without the difference of nations, for the fact that humans were capable to commit such crimes 10, 100, or 500 years ago, in France, in Spain, in Turkey, in Ireland, in Mexico, and also in Germany [and especially in the racist British Empire and in the racist "U.S.A."]. And we have to be anxious about the abilities of the humans in future [p.164] what will be possible yet to commit.

[No moral of the "U.S.A.": criminal "Americans" want to be the "winner" behaving worse than NS dictatorship before]

But this has to be put down as a cognition: The clay of which the homo americanus is made of, is just of such a good or bad quality as the European clay. And as the human being of all time zones and nations - as can be submitted - was made by the same hands of the creator thanking for breathing, thinking and being, there has really to be feared that all humans come from the same creator who made the clay figures, and that all figures have certain features, specialties, general development possibilities. God is near all humans and in all populations the same as also Devil is near to every human being and to every population. A military victory is not worth to split men into good and bad samples. Winners and defeated are not moral categories.

We in Rheinberg were recognizing this fast. The "Americans" needed years for this mental step. Thus also the defeated has his hour of strength [p.165].
