"After all, and end in terror is preferable to terror without end."

[nostamj]

have you ever read The White Rose Society's Four Leaflets?

It is part to strive to see to it that nothing is kept hidden of that which any subject says or does, but that everywhere he will be spied upon,... and further, to set man against man and friend against friend, and the common people against the privileged and the wealthy. Also it is part of these tyrannical measures, to keep the subjects poor, in order to pay the guards and the soldiers, and so that they will be occupied with earning their livelihood and will have neither leisure nor opportunity to engage in conspiratorial acts... Also, the tyrant is inclined constantly to foment wars. - Aristotle, "Politics"

I found this stunning quote in one of the White Rose Society's Four Leaflets. if you've never read them, please take a look here:

White Rose Society - The Four Leaflets

this is part of an ongoing project to create new content for www.whiterosesociety.org which will include a new essay which I'm still researching.

comments about readability, layout, etc. are welcome. these pages are still in the early stages and have not been linked to benburch's site yet.

I believe you'll find the parallels to life under bushco to be frightening. And remember, these students were executed (beheaded!) for their resistance to Hitler's Reich.

After all, and end in terror is preferable to terror without end.

"Every word that comes from Hitler's mouth is a lie. When he says peace, he means war, and when he blasphemously uses the name of the Almighty, he means the power of evil..."

(just in case anyone here isn't familiar with the background of "White Rose")

"She was arrested on February 18, 1943, while distributing the sixth leaflet at the University of Munich. On February 22, 1943, Sophie, her brother Hans and their friend Christoph Probst were condemned to death and executed by guillotine only a few hours later."
