Pan Germanic Jews?

“Patriotic fever
The Jews saw the war as a chance to prove to themselves, to those around them and to the emperor their absolute loyalty: more German than the Germans. Moving nationalist sermons were given in the synagogues.”
https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/.premium-when-hitler-honored-jewish-soldiers-1.5254336


WWI Pan-Germanic Germany financed Bolshevism to destroy Russia. Only 2 groups deny WWI Germany financed Bolsheviks (Soviet Communism).

#1 Nazis, because they want to whitewash their evil history.

#2 Bolsheviks because 😱 they don't want the stain of Nazism on their history.

1918 original publication date. German-Bolshevik Conspiracy, original documents passed between German Officials and their Bolshevik Spies whose sole intent was to bring chaos in Russia to oust her from the war effort. (In Free Ebook)

A Baltimore Sun investigator went to Poland to find out from the locals. Fair and unbiased criticism, including the Jewish role which helped to bring suspicions upon themselves. But the reporter verifies what I have stated, unequivocally, the "jews" who were Bolsheviks are INTERNATIONALIST (and Atheist) and have nothing in common with Judaism.

Here's Germany gearing up as a militaristic Pan-Germanism and it was an all inclusive deal,

“Protestant, Jew, Catholic, many a Socialist even…”

All for the Emperor!

The Observer, (London, Greater London, England), 30 Jun 1907
https://www.newspapers.com/clip/18580963/national_war_training_of_german_state/


Nazi fools believe "Zionists" were controlling the USSR, or, that Bolshevism was a "Zionist" plot. Ridiculous theory when understanding that Bolsheviks were anti-religious as well as anti-Nationalist. However, that didn't stop the credulous Lloyd George from falling prey to the "Monolithic Judaism: Judeo-Bolshevik World Conspiracy" Hoax, and with the help of Lenin made a fool of himself before Britain's allies and the world.

'til the world understands why Robert J. Fischer criticised the U.S./British and Russian military industry imperial alliance and their own Israeli Apartheid. Sarah Wilkinson explains:

Bobby Fischer, First Amendment, Freedom of Speech
What a sad story Fischer was,” typed a racist, pro-imperialist colonial troll who supports mega-corporation entities over human rights, police state policies & white supremacy.
To which I replied: “Really? I think he [Bob Fischer] stood up to the broken system of corruption and raised awareness! Whether on the Palestinian/Israel-British-U.S. Imperial Apartheid scam, the Bush wars of ‘7 countries in 5 years,’ illegally, unconstitutionally which constituted mass xenocide or his run in with police brutality in Pasadena, California-- right here in the U.S., police run rampant over the Constitution of the U.S., on oath they swore to uphold, but when Americans don't know the law, and the cops either don't know or worse, “don't care” -- then I think that's pretty darn “sad”. I think Mr. Fischer held out and fought the good fight, steadfast til the day he died, and may he Rest In Peace.
Educate yourself about U.S./State Laws --
https://www.youtube.com/@AuditTheAudit/videos
After which the troll posted a string of profanities, confirming there was never any genuine sentiment of “compassion” for Mr. Fischer, rather an intent to inflict further defamatory remarks.

This ongoing work is a tribute to the life and accomplishments of Robert “Bobby” Fischer who passionately loved and studied chess history. May his life continue to inspire many other future generations of chess enthusiasts and kibitzers, alike.

The photograph of Bobby Fischer (above) from the March 02, 1956 The Tampa Times was discovered by Sharon Mooney (Bobby Fischer Newspaper Archive editor) on February 01, 2018 while gathering research materials for this ongoing newspaper archive project. Along with lost games now being translated into Algebraic notation and extractions from over two centuries of newspapers, it is but one of the many lost treasures to be found in the pages of old newspapers since our social media presence was first established November 11, 2017.
