The Twenty Year Truce. 1919 – 1939.

 

     The  period  between the wars,  from 1919 to 1939 has been  called "the Twenty Year Truce." In this interval there was a radical  shake-up in Europe, as though the European "chess-board" was being re-assembled. Old  orders were crumbling and passing away.  New ideas and  ideologies were  emerging.  Chief  amongst  the  ideologies  were  of  course  the Socialist  ones,  as witnessed in Russia with the Bolshevik revolution, in Germany with the emergence of Hitler's regime,  and even in Britain, where the Socialist,  or Labour Party came into existence and formed  a government under Ramsay MacDonald in 1924, and again from 1929 to 1931.

 

     In  all  these Socialist ideologies there has been an  element  of Satanic  design,  inasmuch  as they have traded on the miseries of  the downtrodden  majorities,  to  bring into force a regime  calculated  to improve their lot,  but in retrospect it has turned out very much  like George Orwell’s "Animal  Farm",  in other words,  all men are equal,  but some are more "equal" than others. In Russia many improvements were promised, but the workers  who looked for an easing of their lot,  found to their  dismay that  before  long all land became state owned,  and a  new  repressive regime rose to prodigious power, far worse than the ills perpetrated by the Czarist regime it destroyed.

 

     To have a heart of sympathy for those in any plight on earth, must surely  be a God-given characteristic.  But it would seem  that  Satan, having  appreciated this general tendency in mankind,  found it to be a useful tool to establish his various reigns of terror.  It is important for those in power to alleviate suffering, but it is also important for it to be done in a lawful and humanitarian manner.  If revolutionary methods are advocated, combined with the break-down of law and order, and propaganda campaigns against all authority, then it is wholly Satanic in design.

 

     All the Socialist movements this century have fallen foul of these tendencies.  Thrones  have  toppled,  leaders  assassinated,  authority undermined,  until  now,  in  the  beginning of a new millennium we find in  our  land,  for example, a total lack of respect for authority in any form in quite the majority of the population. This is verging on anarchy and could at any time  break  out in civil war.  The advocates of  Socialism  have  used emotive rhetoric to convince the electorate of the evils of capitalism, with  all  its excesses and lack of concern for the lowest  classes  of society.  Fair  enough.  There have been excesses,  insensitivity,  and careless unconcern for those less well-off than themselves. But this is not  the point I want to make.  The real point is to do with the  break down  of  authority,   rather  than  the  establishment  of   RIGHTEOUS AUTHORITY.  The  Socialist  ideology  has  arisen from  men  like  Adam Weishaupt,  and  Moses Hess.  As a nation we vigorously condemn all the more  lurid forms  such  as  Communism  and  Naziism,  but  still  allow  its  less revolutionary sisters to operate in our land,  urging the overthrow  of law and order via Union pressure.  One very obvious example of this was with  Arthur Scargill.  In their inception,  the Miners' Unions were  a good thing to prevent inhumane practices,  but out of it arose the more militant,  authoritarian,  union bosses,  who were prepared to hold the country to ransom.

[As a footnote to the foregoing, we now see New Labour, an animal that has evolved out of its previous form, which had lost some of its teeth.]

 

     I  believe that one of the greatest of modern evils  operating  in our  land is the breakdown of respect for authority.  Anyone these days can use opprobrious language towards anyone in authority,  be it Queen, Prime  Minister,  Archbishop,  or any one of a hundred  authorities  of lesser  standing  in  society.  All of my working life I  was a teacher, and until 1968, when I went abroad, conditions in the classroom  were tolerable,  and oftentimes very enjoyable.  But when  I next  taught in an English school,  in 1981,  I found to my horror that the law of the jungle was operating. It drove me to a nervous breakdown and virtually ended my career in the classroom and laboratory.
