  A revisionist Socrates with a chip on his shoulder
Churchill, meanwhile, so far from acknowledging that he had written hastily and irresponsibly in the wake of one of the most traumatic events of our time, was entirely unapologetic.

 THE DEMISE OF THE WESTERN NATIONS
A nation that welcomes foreign troops is no longer fit to live— such a thing is rendered impossible by the absolute instinct for self-preservation, which excludes submission to any other organism, whether “friend” or “foe.” A nation in numerical decline is moribund: the size of the population is the result of the National Mission.
A nation that no longer strives for power and possessions is dying, and the actual renunciation of power— even by traitorous churchills— means the nation is dead, for a living nation simply does not surrender its power.

This stratum of approximately 250,000 souls is distributed throughout Europe, but, naturally, it is concentrated primarily in Germany, which can be attributed to the organic fact that the Prussian-German nation is destined to actualise the European Imperium.
Since this stratum is invisible— who could have looked at Rembrandt, Goethe, Napoleon, Bismarck in the cradle, and seen what they were to become?— the Washington regime began its post-War task of liquidating this stratum by attempting to kill all of those who had already proved themselves an elite.
