2003 is half
over, the Iraqis have been defeated, Iran is on the verge of an
anti-Ayatollah revolution, the stock market is beginning to pick
up, and Howard Dean seems on the verge of duplicating George
McGovern’s stunning one-state victory of 1972. All in all, 2003
has been a good year for the good guys and a very bad year for
the forces of evil in the Muslim world and Old Europe.
Jumpin’ Juergen
Speaking of Old Europe, there’s even good news from the
socialist la-la lands of NATO’s weakest links. Probably the best
news to come out of Germany in a long time is the suicide
several weeks ago of Juergen Moellemann, the most openly
anti-Semitic mainstream German politician since Adolf Hitler.
Moellemann was on the verge of being indicted on tax evasion
charges for defense contract kickbacks when he committed suicide
by jumping out of a plane and slipping out of his parachute.
Moellemann, an experienced parachutist and former German
Vice-Chancellor, had millions of Euros socked away in secret
bank accounts in Luxembourg and Liechtenstein. It is even being
speculated that Moellemann had received money from Arab
terrorist groups. During the last Bundestag election, Moellemann
spent upwards of a million Euros mailing out anti-Semitic and
anti-Israeli pamphlets to registered voters in Germany.
However, the spirit of Schiklgruber and Moellemann lives on.
Several days ago I saw two German goths coming out of the train
station in Ulm, Germany wearing black t-shirts that read
“Support Your Local Einsatz Commando.” For those of you who may
not be familiar with the term, the Einsatz Kommandos (or
“Special Commandos”) were special killing details of the SS that
were formed before the construction of the death camps. They
killed literally hundreds of thousands of Jews, Poles, and
Russians mostly by shooting them one at a time. The Ulmer
Einsatz Kommando Unit was one of the most notorious of those
evil groups of people because it was formed by mostly non-SS
volunteers who wanted to contribute to the cause. It took until
the 1950s to bring the members of the Ulmer Einsatz Kommandos to
justice and almost all of them received sentences of less than
ten years imprisonment.
