Chapter 1 - Embracing Untouchable Indira

      "I didn't think Hitler was backed by the empire," Indira interrupted.

      "Of course he was backed by them. He was practically created by them. He was financed into power by them in a big way," I replied. "He would have been lost without this financing. The Empire didn't actually create Hitler. There was no need for it. Hitler had already lowered himself into that sewer as a disciple of Nietzsche and Heidegger. The empire merely latched onto the opportunity that Hitler presented to them as a useful stooge at a crucial moment for the empire. They loved his intentions to destroy once more the fledgling economic development that had come back into the foreground after World War I. The British Empire had even been invited to become a part of the fascist world-empire that Hitler dreamed of creating. It must have been a tempting offer as the empire saw itself threatened by the resurgent economic strength that came from the humanist reawakening in several key areas of the world all at once. Especially the renewed republican spirit flowing from America across the world was seen as a deadly threat by the empire. The imperials saw a profound reflection of this spirit happening in Germany with the potential that the world's greatest cultural centers would be linking together to usher in a new era of prosperity for humanity. Hitler was hired almost like a private contractor to preempt this. The stakes were immensely high for the Empire. The Empire would not have been able to survive this renewed unfolding wave of humanist freedom. Roosevelt had captured the hearts of America at this time, with his promised new deals and new freedoms. Kurt von Schleicher represented the same humanist ideals for economic development in Germany. However, within a month before Roosevelt was inaugurated who would have backed the Von Schleicher government and its economic development program, Kurt von Schleicher was maneuvered out of the way and replaced by Hitler. It was all done one single month before Roosevelt came to power. The fate of civilization hung in the balance in that month and mankind was dealt a crushing defeat."

      "Are you saying that this narrowly aborted humanist development in Germany could have prevented World War II?" Indira interrupted me.

      I simply nodded. "That's is what Hitler was 'hired' to prevent," I said. "By supporting Hitler at this crucial period the Empire could be assured of a big war. Except, the Empire had miscalculated. The blinded imperials didn't fully recognize the much more base fascist force that Hitler represented. Hitler tore up the Empire's own rule book and all of its playing fields. He threatened the Empire itself when the Empire refused to join him on his terms together with everybody else. On this note, Hitler combined the Empire's own idea of class extinction, that the Jacobin crowd had pioneered decades earlier, for which the French revolution had been launched. He took the Jacobin beastmen ideology, and the Venetian trash that became the Spanish Inquisition, and even added his own brand of the Aryan invasion that had destroyed India. He rolled it all together into a new form of fascism, or more correctly, this mess was handed to him by his own philosophers had reduced the worst of all the world to a still lover level. Naturally, the resulting new world-empire dream presented the little man that Hitler was with a considerable logistical problem. After all, the rapidly unfolding humanist ideal had become a world-uplifting threat that he had to neutralize. Hitler solved the problem by reducing the logistics of mass genocide to the lowest possible level of inhumanity, far below what the Roman had employed. He reduced the murdering of human beings to the stone-cold process of industrial automation. Hitler applied industrial-type process to the murdering of human beings. There had never been a more powerful killing machine let loose on the face of the planet than his machine, except the one that was built in response to destroy it. The fight of the new fascism against humanity was no longer the kind of fight that we had seen in earlier ages that had been waged to suppress the rise of a new perception of the divinity of man. The new fight became a fight to reshape humanity as a whole to its very core by the extinction of entire societies, especially if those societies had a strong cultural and humanist root. No great malice was involved in these near automated logistical processes of industrial style mass killing. Nothing more was involved than coldly calculated deliberate intends. The American atomic bombing and fire-bombing of large civilian cities eventually extended the automated murdering process still further under the guidance of the resurgent British Empire that had learned from Hitler and had persuaded America to lay down its own humanist role in the world and become an imperial servant."
