National-Socialist Resources

"The Jews in Jurisprudence" by Carl Schmitt, a translation by Tom Sunic

2012-01-28T10:28:00.000-08:00

The following is from The Occidental Observer, a translation by Tom Sunic of Dr. Carl Schmitt's speech at a conference on law in 1936, published as Das Judentum in der Recthswissenschaft. Dr. Schmitt emphasizes continuing Jewish influence in law even as the National-Socialist government waxed in Germany, and suggests approaches for its removal.

Carl Schmitt's speech:

As all presentations have demonstrated, Jewish law appears to be redemption from chaos. The polarity of Jewish chaos and Jewish legalism, of anarchic nihilism and positivistic normativism, of coarse sensualist materialism and abstract moralism, appears so clearly and so vividly before our eye, that we can use this fact — similar to the studies of racial psychology — as a scientific finding in our meetings for our future work. Therefore, in the capacity of German guardians of law and professors of law, for the first time we have made a contribution to the significant research already carried out in the realm of race studies. In this teamwork of ours, over the last two days, we have arrived at the initial conclusion which preserves the honor of our science in conjunction with other accomplishments, and which, as was rightly pointed out by Dr. Falk Ruttke, are accomplishments that can serve us as models.

1. The necessary task regarding the bibliography is very difficult. What is needed is to determine, as accurately as possible, who is Jewish and who is not. The smallest errors in this respect may be blown out of proportion, lead to confusion, and help the enemies of National-Socialism score cheap triumphs. Also, these errors could have a damaging effect in view of the fact that young students can be distracted from the main ideas by small inaccuracies, whereas on the basis of the false sense of justice — so common to our German way — they may readily be inclined to ponder over an isolated case of inaccuracy, instead of focusing on the big and just issue for which we are fighting.

2. Only when we have an accurate register can we continue working in the direction of library cataloguing and, by cleaning up the libraries, protect our students from the confusions that lie in these facts; on the one hand we keep pointing to the necessary fight against the Jewish spirit, yet on the other hand, at the end of 1936, a seminar library in legal studies looks as if the greater part of the legal literature is being produced by Jews. Only by cleansing the libraries will this monstrous suggestion disappear, a suggestion grounded in the fact that the works by Jews are still featured in legal seminars, virtually inviting students to carry on with the absorption of Jewish thought. All legal writings by Jewish authors belong, as Reich Minister Dr. Frank aptly remarked, without distinction to the library catalogue of the department “Judaica.”

3. Also crucial is the issue of the quotations. As a follow-up to this meeting it is no longer possible to quote a Jewish writer just as any other writer. It would be downright irresponsible to quote a Jewish author as an expert witness, or even as some sort of authority in the field. A Jewish writer is for us no source of authority — not even as a “purely scientific” authority. This finding is a starting point when considering the issue of the quotations. For us, a Jewish writer, even when he is quoted at all, remains a Jewish author. The adding of the word and the designation ‘Jewish’ is not an external characteristic, but something essential, given that we cannot prevent a Jewish author from using the German language. Failing this, the purification of our legal literature will not be possible. Whoever writes today, ‘Stahl Jolson’ will achieve much more in a clear scientific manner than by writing long exegeses against the Jews, which, in general, move around in abstract expressions and which in concreto do not affect a single Jew. [The person referred to by Schmitt as Stahl-Jolson is usually known as Friedrich Julius Stahl; by using ‘Stahl-Jolson’ Schmitt emphasizes Stahl’s Jewish background. Stahl-Jolson was a conservative Jewish German legal scholar and philosopher (1802–1861) who had converted to Christianity]

Thus, only when we solve the issue of the quotations, we will be able to remove the Jewish-infected literature [von Juden infiziertes], and attain, instead, German legal literature. The problem of the quotations is not only of a practical nature; it is a fundamental problem. One can recognize an individual writer by the way he uses quotations. I’d like to point to the brazen matter-of-factness of the Vienna School of the Jew [Hans] Kelsen, where everybody quotes each other, with other opinions being neglected — to us Germans an incomprehensible cruelty and insolence. The issue of the citations is not a trivial matter. There are today, as far as the Jewish question is concerned, no more trivial matters. Everything is very closely connected and intimate as soon as the real battle of worldviews starts.

The issue of the quotations will lead to necessary clarification regarding many other individual issues, such as the issue of quoting half-Jews and those closely-related to Jews. I’ll warn right at the beginning against putting in the center of attention fringe issues and interposed issues. This is a standard way of avoiding clear cut decisions. There are hundreds of cases where it is beyond doubt that they are full Jews [Volljuden]. It is a typical Jewish trick to divert the attention from the heart of the matter to the doubt- related issues, to the fringe issues and to the interposed issues. Authors, with who there is no doubt that they are full Jews (Volljuden), will be in the future in our German legal literature, referred to as Jews. When, for an objective reason it becomes necessary to quote Jewish authors, this will be done only with the addition of the word “Jewish.” By the mere mentioning of the word “Jewish” a healing exorcism will start.

4. The last practical goal is related to the issue of scientific research, particularly regarding dissertations. A lot of good material for doctoral dissertations has emerged from the presentations of these two days. I do not think it is necessary that still 70 to 80 percent of hundreds of doctoral dissertations, which see the light today in Germany, continue to be written in the same old style of civil code and penal code dissertations. Again, this is a serious matter, considering how much talent and intellectual potential exists among German youth and what it means when German law professors in charge of the education and the scientific training of these young Germans, steer these young people to distracting topics and away from the daily life of the German people. Here we have a professional task of first-rate importance. If one keeps in mind what has been concluded in this conference on the dissertation themes alone, concerning the legal historical and constitutional historical approaches — as well as the research into the Jewish mind and its influence on German intellectual life in its “intersection” with the German mind, as was very clearly remarked by one of the speakers — it does not seem to be difficult to draw the attention of a young student to the influence of Lasker, Friedberg, and Johann Jacoby [19th-century German-Jewish liberal legal thinkers and politicians] on German legal developments, or better yet encourage a student to study the rise of the civil procedure code and penal procedure code, as well as other laws in relationship to Jewish influence, or have the student focus his attention on the issue of “Jews and the concept of the rule-of-law-state.” There is no lack of dissertation themes and it would be the most stupid negligence if these new themes were not addressed.

III. But most importantly, what turned out in these past days to be the definitive conclusion, is that Jewish opinions, with their intellectual content, cannot be put on the same level with the opinions of German or other non-Jewish authors. We all became aware with the greatest clarity as to this supposed difficulty, such as when there are Jews expressing national and patriotic views, as was the case with the famed Stahl-Jolson. Over and over again in our conference we have come to realize that the Jew is sterile and unproductive for the German type of spirit. He has nothing to say to us, however shrewdly he may keep deducing [kombinieren], or even eagerly wishing to assimilate himself. Of course, he may play around with his enormous mediation and mercantile skills — but as far as the substance is concerned he creates nothing. It is a sign of the lack of training in the study of race and hence in the National-Socialist thought to overlook this and to assume that there is a more substantial problem behind this, such as some Jews speaking and writing in nationalist terms, some in internationalist terms — that they can advocate at a moment’s notice conservative, liberal, subjective, or objective theories. Even the much vaunted skills of criticism of the Jew are the product of his mismatch to everything essential and genuine. It is a completely different concept of criticism from the one used by German law professors acting in a genuine teamwork, criticizing each other or promoting each other. Nor is it correct to depict the Jew as a very logical, very conceptual, constructive, or rational person. It is not so much his “care-free logical sharpness” [unbekümmerte logische Schärfe] — what we ourselves mean by logic, but a weapon aimed at us; it stems from the disproportion concerning the topic and the matter.

The relationship of Jewish thinking to the German spirit is of the following kind: the Jew has a parasitic, tactical and mercantile relationship toward our own intellectual work. Through his mercantile skills he has often a keen sense of the authentic; with great ingenuity and quick flair he knows how to target the authentic. This is the instinct of a parasite and of a genuine tradesman. As little as this skill has been demonstrated by the Jews in the art of painting, Jewish art dealers can, nevertheless, faster tell a genuine Rembrandt than German art historians. Likewise, in the field of jurisprudence, this cannot be a proof that with his skills the Jew can very rapidly recognize good authors and good theories. The Jews quickly spot German substance and it is to this that they are attracted. We must not give them credit for this – only to warn us to switch on our inhibitions. It is simply due to the overall situation of the Jew, in his parasitic, tactical and mercantile relationship toward the German intellectual heritage. Even such a horrible, sinister mask swapping, which underlines the whole life of Stahl-Jolson should no longer distract us. Whenever it is ceaselessly emphasized that this person is “subjectively honest,” — as true as this may be — yet, I must add that we cannot glimpse into the soul of the Jews and that we have no access into the inner character of the Jews. We only know the discrepancy between our kinds. Whoever has grasped this truth — also knows what race is all about.

Furthermore, it is necessary to realize how differently the Jews have behaved at different stages of history. Heinrich Lange [German legal scholar, 1900–1977] has explicitly pointed to that in his excellent essays. The most significant turning points in Jewish behavior during the last century were the years 1815, 1830, 1848, 1871, 1890 — Bismarck’s dismissal, the beginning of the Wilhelminian era — 1918, 1933. It is, therefore, unacceptable to put on the same level a case of Jewish appearance on the scene in 1830 with that in 1930. Here again we have the Jew Stahl–Jolson, who still exerts influence on the denominational and ecclesiastical opposition against the National-Socialist state. It is completely false to portray him as an exemplary, conservative Jew in contrast to other belated Jews that could have unfortunately never become that. In this fact lies a dangerous failure to recognize the essential insight, i.e., that with every change in the overall situation, with each new period in history, and so quickly that we can only grasp it with utmost attention, a change occurs in the overall Jewish behavior, a mask swapping of demonic subtlety [von dämonischer Hintergründigkeit] where, by contrast, the issue regarding individually involved Jews, is fully irrelevant. Indeed, the great adaptability of the Jews has been carried to extremes over several thousand years of their history by specific racial characteristics whereby the virtuosity of mimicry has been even more fostered by long practice. We can see it, but we cannot comprehend it. However, we must not lose sight of the fact that there is Jewish virtuosity.

I repeat again and again the urgent plea to read every sentence on the Jewish question in Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, and especially his comments on “Jewish dialectics.” What has been put forward at our meeting by experts in many scientific papers and in outstanding speeches is told in simple language to every national comrade [Volksgenosse] in a fully comprehensive manner. Do refer our law students always to those sentences by the Führer.

But beyond the Jewish problem let us not forget the German side of this question. For example, in a direct application of what Dr. Falk Ruttke said, we could mention the case of Karl Marx and the impact he had, as represented by the case of Friedrich Engels, or Bruno Bauer, or Ludwig Feuerbach, or perhaps even Hegel. Here lies a tragic problem. How was it possible that a German from Wuppertal, such as Engels, fell prey to the Jew Marx so completely? How was it possible that thousands of decent and honest national comrades [Volksgenossen] could over decades succumb in such a way to the Jewish mind? From where comes this non-resistance of many German men and from where comes weakness and the darkening of the German style at such a historical moment? The examination of this issue belongs to our scientific self-awareness as well as to the armor for the new struggle.

We have recognized all this in this workshop with greatest scientific clarity. Compared to the blindness and ignorance of earlier times, these are revolutionary insights. If equipped with it we can enter into the struggle whose new phase has begun. Let us not deceive ourselves about the seriousness of this struggle. The speeches at the Nuremberg Party Congress left no doubt about it. Judaism is, as the Führer notes in Mein Kampf, not only hostile to everything that is hostile to Jews; it is a mortal enemy of any real productivity of any other people. Its world power does not tolerate national productivity because otherwise its own kind of existence would be refuted. Jewish interest in the real productivity of other nations, the speed with which the Jewish artist or the intellectual merchant collide with the German artist, poet or scholar — and by means of giving him a pension or tenure [Rente] harness [einspannen] him for themselves — are not virtues and they are not qualities that should distract us from the essential. We are dealing with the Jews not for their own sake. What we are looking for and what we are fighting for is our own authentic nature and the unspoiled purity of our German people. “While resisting the Jew,” says our Führer, “I fight for the work of the Lord.”

Mark Weber on the Voice of Reason: Why Germany Struck Against the Soviet Union in 1941

2012-01-16T11:29:00.000-08:00

I have added a link to the Voice of Reason radio broadcast in the websites section. The Voice of Reason (VOR) offers perspectives on history and contemporary politics from a revisionist and racially aware point of view. Its programs are informative and interesting.

In this VOR broadcast, Mark Weber discusses the German invasion of the Soviet Union.

From August 1939, when Germany was compelled to conclude a Non-Aggression Treaty with the Soviet Union in part to avert a war with Britain by deterring her, until June 1941, when the German campaign in the Soviet Union began, the Soviet Union doubled its number of troops, divisions, guns and mortars, and tripled its number of aircraft.(1)

Russian former intelligence analyst Viktor Suvorov has proposed that the Soviets did this as a prelude to a strike against Europe. This is his "Icebreaker thesis", that the Soviets sought to weaken Europe by encouraging war among its nations, in order to till the soil for a future Soviet invasion and effect Communist domination of most of Europe.

When Germany began its campaign against the Soviet Union, called Operation Barbarossa, the Soviets were caught completely by surprise. If the Soviet military buildup was strictly for defensive purposes, this should not have been the case.

Therefore, if the Soviet Union's buildup was not intended for defense, then it was intended for offensive military operations. This is precisely Suvorov's argument. And if valid, then Weber rightly suggests that our understanding of the causes and conduct of World War II deserves to be reconsidered. The caricature of Hitler as as a reckless adventurist bent on domination of the world by force should be abandoned.(2)

Three New Links: "Germany Speaks" by J. Ribbentrop, "The Nazi-Sozi" Q&A by P. Goebbels, and Calvin.edu Website

2011-12-25T21:40:00.000-08:00

I have added three new links to primary sources in my English links section. Two of these links are books, and the third is a comprehensive website.

The book, Germany Speaks (1938) is a book edited by Foreign Minister J. Ribbentrop and featuring the writings of numerous NSDAP officials in their areas of policy. It explains the various aspects of German domestic and foreign policy and makes an argument for a lasting and real peace between Germany and the British Empire.

I have also added a link to a full scan of a book by Dr. Paul J. Goebbels, The "Nazi-Sozi": Questions and Answers for National-Socialists.

Lastly, I have included a link to the Nazi and East Germany Propaganda Guide, containing translations and writings by Randall Bytwerk. There are numerous primary sources and relating from the German Reich, from 1933 through 1945, and an option to search the archive toward the bottom of the web page. Though Bytwerk is anti-revisionist, most of his translations appear unbiased and, barring negative introductory commentary he gives in some cases, comprise a valuable resource for National-Socialist literature.

The United Nations Passes Resolution Proposed by Russia Outlawing the "Glorification of Nazism"

2011-12-14T21:21:00.000-08:00

In 2010, Russia proposed a United Nations resolution criminalizing "glorification of the Nazi movement" and promoting "the theory of racial superiority", so as to "contribute greatly to the elimination of racial discrimination, xenophobia, and intolerance".

Recently, the United Nations passed the resolution, with a few nations, notably the Baltic States of Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania, but also the United States, voting against it.

The resolution gives Russia political leverage with nations where questioning of established World War II history, criticism of the Soviet Union's wartime or postwar policies, or efforts to remove a Red Army memorial or other signature of Soviet brutality may arise. Russian patriotism, which for many is still linked to Stalin, therefore has the backing of the United Nations and its organs in designating countries as criminal.

New Link Added: Hitler's Table Talk, 1941-44

2011-12-14T00:21:00.000-08:00

I added a link to the English-language resources section, Hitler's Table Talk, 1941-44: His Private Conversations. This is a collection of private discussions during wartime, recorded by Heinrich Heim, Henry Picker, and Martin Bormann, at Fuehrer Headquarters.

Baltic States Continue to Receive Criticism for Support of Germans that Served in Second World War

2011-12-12T18:02:00.000-08:00

The Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania continue to resist the trend of the rest of the world to demonize and hound former German soldiers that served during World War II. Recently, I read a few articles regarding criticism by foreign officials of Estonia's policy of offering support to these servicemen. A Google search for the terms 'Estonia' and 'Nazi' turn up a number of articles, many of them from Russia Today.

Most of these articles are heavily laden with moral language and hypocrisy. In the article, "Estonia: Nazi safe haven", the author writes that

The Nuremberg Tribunal sentenced the Nazi leadership to either executions or prison terms 65 years ago. This trial of history was meant to get rid of Nazism for good. But the SS marches in Baltic states, and other cases of rehabilitation of fascism nowadays, suggest that history lessons have no been fully learned.

Perhaps this journalist's query can partly be answered by pointing to the monumentally hypocritical and unjust nature of the Nuremberg Tribunal itself, as Mark Weber does in this report. It was a trial conducted by victors in a war, one of which, the Soviet Union, had engaged in large scale atrocities against civilians both in peacetime and during the war. A sane and moral individual sees the Nuremberg trials for what they were.

It is being claimed that the Baltic countries are motivated by "nationalism" to take a revisionist stance on historical events, including the so-called Holocaust.

Here, American-born Israeli historian, Efraim Zuroff, asserts that "no civilized country" should "tolerate" the deviance of countries or individuals that take a revisionist stance on World War II, including "the attempt to equate Communist and Nazi crimes". Jewish professor Dovid Katz here asserts that "Soviet crimes were horrendous" but that they were less atrocious because "ethnic cleansing" did not motivate them.

This is the crux of the matter, because what we are being asked to maintain is that crimes that lack racial animus are not as "horrendous" as those that have it, even if a crime of the former sort is, in quantiative terms, greater than one of the latter.

The Soviet Union had murdered an estimated seven million, or more, Ukrainians, and all told more than ten million Soviets of all nationalities, in 1932-33, during the time Hitler was assuming power in Germany. Jews, from Leon Trotsky through Lazar Kaganovich, played important roles in the Soviet system and were involved in its crimes. Both the numbers of deaths involved and Jewish complicity in producing them are relevant.

Though "nationalism" is held to be at the heart of the revisionism of the Baltic states, one rightly ponders the motives of nations critical of them. The State of Israel is predicated upon the Holocaust myth, and the Russian government is very sensitive about its Soviet past, especially its atrocities. This creates a confluence of moral interests between Jews and some Russian officials, with obvious historic bridges.

The Baltic states appear to be inconvenienced by nations that have their own political agendas, rather than by being wrong on the relevant moral and historical points.

New Links: An Essay and Dr. William Pierce Blog

2011-11-29T14:19:00.000-08:00

I just added a blog run by Hadding, called The Legacy of Dr. William Pierce. Also, I decided to place a link Hadding has made available there, a piece written by Dr. Pierce entitled Gun Control in Germany, 1928-1945 (click on Read Online on the left to view), which helps dispel a prevalent myth about the Third Reich, namely, that the National-Socialist government did not allow private gun ownership and use.

A Jew Boasting of the Impact of Jews on Aryans: "A Real Case Against the Jews" by Marcus Eli Ravage

2011-10-18T23:58:00.000-07:00

Marcus Eli Ravage (Max Ravitch) was a Romanian-born Jew that immigrated to America. He wrote about immigration and became biographer of the Jewish Rothschilds family. The quotes below come from an article he wrote, "A Real Case Against the Jews", in Century Magazine, January 1928, Vol. 115, No. 3, pages 346-350. The entire article is one long tract sarcastically granting some basic conclusions of anti-Semitism. Jews have fomented leftist social revolutions, created social disarray, and as Ravage sees it, has through Christianity saturated the Aryan race with Jewish culture and ideology.

We are intruders. We are disturbers. We are subverters. We have taken your natural world, your ideals, your destiny, and played havoc with them. We have been at the bottom not merely of the latest great war but of nearly all your wars, not only of the Russian but of every other major revolution in your history. We have brought discord and confusion and frustration into your personal and public life. We are still doing it. No one can tell how long we shall go on doing it.

Jewish artisans and Jewish fishermen are your teachers and your saints, with countless statues carved in their image and innumerable cathedrals raised to their memories. A Jewish maiden is your ideal of motherhood and womanhood. A Jewish rebel-prophet is the central figure in your religious worship. We have pulled down your idols, cast aside your racial inheritance, and substituted for them our God and our traditions. No conquest in history can even remotely compare with this clean sweep of our conquest over you.

I will be including a link to this article in the English language resources section.

Excerpt from The Forrestal Diaries: Chamberlain Blamed "World Jews" for World War II

2011-10-14T21:48:00.000-07:00

Here is an an article referencing from The Forrestal Diaries, in which British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain is recounted by James Forrestal as having stated that "America and the world Jews forced England into this war." This is from a LIFE article from October 15, 1951, echoing the Diaries from December 27, 1945.

Introduction and Preliminaries: Organization of this Blog

2011-08-26T20:41:00.000-07:00

The blog has been reorganized with a primary emphasis on providing links to external sites, including primary and secondary resources, with blog posts generally offering commentary on recent events, links, articles, and videos. To make this blog and its resources searchable, I am going to list by name in blog posts any links that I include.

Links to the following resources on race were retained: A translation of Bolshevism from Moses to Lenin (1924) by Dr. William L. Pierce, Han's Gunther's Racial Elements in European History (1927), Jewish Involvement in Shaping American Immigration Policy by Kevin MacDonald, Race as a Biological Concept and Race, Evolution, and Behavior by J. Philippe Rushton, and Races of Europe (1939) by C.S. Coon.

I included a link to Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will and I retained a link to an interview with Ernst Zundel by an Israeli journalist from 1996.

I plan on slowly expanding German language resources. There are a few, now, including an article from 1936 entitled Blut und Boden: ein Grundgedanke des Nationalsozialismus, discussing the concept of blood and soil and foundations for National-Socialism.

Last, I kept a section on external website links that doubles as a blogroll. A few websites are particularly noteworthy: Adolf Hitler and Third Reich Media has many internal links and primary sources. Two blogs, run by associates, are recommended. National-Socialist Worldview is an excellent blog run by Hadding Scott, with a lot of original research. Ironlight is a great blog rich in insights and references.

If there is a National-Socialist resource you would recommend that I blog on or include as a link, please send me an email: organontouontos@gmail.com
