THE PSYCHOPATHIC GLOBAL RULERS by S. Kadiri
The trial of the German Nazis began on November 20, 1945, at Nuremberg, Germany. In the dock were Herman Goering, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Rudolf Hess, Wilhelm Keitel, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Alfred Rosenberg, Wilhelm Frick and fourteen others to answer to the charge of crimes against humanity. The tribunal consisted of four-power judges: I. T. Nikitchenko and A. F. Volchkov (Soviet Union); Lord Justice William Norman Birkett and Lord Justice Geoffrey Lawrence (Great Britain); Francis Biddle and John J. Parker (USA); and Donndieu de Vabres and Robert Falco (France). The Chief Prosecutors were: Roman Rudenco (Soviet Union), Robert Jackson, a Supreme Court Member (USA), Sir Hartley Shawcross - Attorney General of Great Britain; and François de Menthon - a member of the French Government who was replaced in January 1946 by Auguste Champetier de Ribes.
Parts of the opening addresses on the first day of the trial are worthy of recalling. The President of the Tribunal, Lord Justice Geoffrey Laurence asserted, "The trial which is now about to begin is unique in the history of jurisprudence of the world and it is of Supreme importance to millions of people over the Globe." The British Prosecutor, Sir Hartley Shawcross declared, "This trial shall contain an authoritative and impartial record to which future historians may turn for truth and future politicians for warning." French Chief Prosecutor, Auguste Champetier de Ribes stated, "After the submission of our documents, hearing of the witnesses, projection of films which the defendants cannot see without shuddering with horror, nobody can possibly claim that the extermination camps, the executed prisoners, the slaughtered peoples, the mounds of corpses, the human herds maimed in body and soul, the instrument of torture, the gas chambers and crematories existed only in the imagination of anti-German propagandist." USA Chief Prosecutor, Robert Jackson stated, "The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating that civilisation cannot tolerate their being ignored and cannot survive being repeated."
The trial almost collapsed at the start as the defendants referred to historical facts to prove that the German Nazi war for *Lebensraum was not unique. They contended that USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand became Lebensraum for Europeans through genocidal war against the aborigines of America, Australia and New Zealand. The defendants submitted that the Nazi labour camps were not different from the enslavement of the Blackman from whose muscles the USA derived its wealth. One of the accused, Dr Alfred Rosenberg, deluged the judges with excerpts from books written by American, British, and French Eugenicists. He quoted studiously from the book, "The Decline of the Great Race" authored by the American racist, Madison Grant. Many racist laws enacted and applied in the USA and from which German racial laws were copied were cited. With those references, the defendants questioned the right of the Tribunal to try them for offences which were not precedential in history and comparatively less brutal than in the past. Although the judges agreed that the genocide committed by the defendants were not unique in history and had never been criminalized in the past, they decided to make a statutory example with the defending Nazis so that politics based, on racism, the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest would thenceforth be criminal and punishable under International law.
The points raised by the German Nazis in defence of their racial war for the purpose of acquiring Lebensraum were actually true. For history recorded that long before Adolf Hitler was born in 1889, Thomas Robert Malthus, a Priest and an Economist who was employed by the British East India Company wrote in 1798 what he titled "An Essay on the Principle of Population." Therein, he proposed that the society should help to accomplish higher rates of mortality instead of waiting for nature or disaster since, according to him, population tends to increase faster than food supply. By the beginning of the 20th Century Malthusian economic theory of the survival of the fittest and the idea of limiting procreation to chosen few was accepted by the civilised Western Governments. In fact, racism did not originate in Hitler's Germany since Joseph Arthur de Gobineau was not a German but a French Count, a Diplomat and a Philosopher. He died in 1882, seven years before Hitler was born. However, he wrote an essay on inequality between races from which Nazi racial biology or Eugenics doctrine germinated.
Eugenics was then defined as the study of methods of improving the quality of the human race, especially through selective breeding. Eugenicists were then commonly referred to as racial biologists or social anthropologists. Fast forward, in 1932, the third International Conference on Eugenics was held at the Museum of Natural History in New York to deliberate on how to find means of stopping people from procreating at will. The Conference attendees consisting only of Europeans and their extended foreign territories unanimously elected Drs Henry Fairchild Osborn and Ernst Rudin of the USA as President and Vice President respectively. Part of Osborn's opening address at the Conference was, "I have reached the opinion that over -population and under -employment are twin sisters. From this point of view I even find that the United States is overpopulated at the present time. In nature the less fitted individuals would gradually disappear, but in civilization, we are keeping them in the community, in the hope that in a brighter days they may find employment. This is only another instance of human civilization going directly against the order of nature and encouraging the survival of the unfittest." It is note - worthy that although no sterilization law was enacted in the USA until 1921, the Negroes (Black Americans) had by 1907 been routinely sterilized without their consent. Two years after advocating that the survival of the unfittest be discouraged, Dr Henry Fairchild Osborn of the USA was awarded the Goethe Medal by Adolf Hitler, in 1934!! Then, in 1935, the US Eugenics Records Office attended a Conference on World's population in Berlin, where the key- note speaker was Germany's Interior Minister, Wilhelm Frick. A US delegate, Dr Clearance G. Campbell addressed the Conference thus, "The leader of the German nation, Adolf Hitler, ably supported by Dr Frick and guided by German's anthropologists and social Philosophers, has been able to construct a comprehensive policy of population development and improvement that promises to be epochal in racial history. It sets a pattern which other nations and other racial groups must follow if they do not wish to fall behind in racial quality, in their racial accomplishments and in their prospects for survival." By the time Dr Campbell was praising Hitler's epochal racist policy in 1935, Jews in Germany had either been killed or incarcerated while others fled mostly to Russia the country which Winston Churchill had blamed the Jews for causing the Bolshevik revolution.
Ironically, Dr Wilhelm Frick, who Dr Campbell was praising for the implementation of racial biology in 1935 was among the German Nazis standing trial for the crimes against humanity on November 20, 1945. The Tribunal ended on September 30, 1946, after 250 days and 403 sessions. The minutes of the trials filled 16,000 pages. The prosecutors presented 2,630 documents and 116 witnesses were crossed-examined. This unprecedented trial swallowed five million sheets of paper, weighing 200 tons. A total of 27,000 meters of sound film and 7,000 photo plates were expended. On October 1, 1946, at 14:50:00 hours judgments were pronounced whereby twelve of the accused were sentenced to death, including Matin Borman who was tried in absentia; seven were sentenced to life imprisonment and three were acquitted. With the conclusion of the Nuremberg trial it was presumed that a new world where human beings would not be divided into masters and slaves, exploiters and the exploited as well as the rich and the impoverished (poor) would emerge. To be continued.
