The great crimes on this earth are murder and rape. A murderer takes the life of a human being. A rapist violates a human being.

Pedophilia is rape of an infant, a child or a minor. Pedophilia can be effected by either violent means or by seduction. Committing the crime of pedophilia is tantamount to the murder of an infant, a child or a minor.

Pedophilia is rape of an infant, a child or a minor. Pedophilia can be effected by either seduction, intimidation or violent means

The suffering of a murdered victim ceases after he has been killed. A victim of rape is
spiritually killed but continues to live.

Pope John Paul II in his 2005 book Memory and Identity compared the Holocaust to abortion, as did many other men of the cloth. He wrote that both abortion and the murder of six million Jews were the result of humans under the guise of democracy usurping the “law of God.”
- Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, No. 68, May 1, 2008

The Archbishop of Cologne, Germany, Cardinal Joachim Meisner, “put women who had had an abortion in a row with mass murderers like Hitler, Stalin and Herod. He compared abortion to the Holocaust and the abortion pill with Zyklon B, the gas used by the Nazis in the extermination camps.”
- BBC Online, February 22, 2005.

Yes, these holy men want stamp out legalized abortion, which would mean a revival of the back-street variety and bring the knitting needle into play again. (According to APA, unsafe abortions cause 70,000 deaths a year internationally.) The holy men concentrate their efforts on fighting against “murder before birth” but what about murder after birth? The word “Holocaust” would certainly be more appropriate to describe the fate of the victims of pedophilia.

Both Pope John Paul II and Benedict XVI oversaw the hush-up and the shuffling around of pedophile priests. Ratzinger, who was Wojtyla’s ideologue, now lays the blame for the cover-up on Wojtyla. Yes, Ratzinger is as innocent as the driven snow!

Motivation

Sexual behavior between consenting adults is nobody’s business. If the Catholic Church makes it their business, it is “their” business. However, criminal acts are the business of society.

Herr Kuhner, if you do not withdraw your case, we will send the public health officer.

Martin Luksan suggested I tackle this again, so here goes!

Yes, this is a trip down Memory Lane, but there is nothing sentimental about it. These were not the good old days. There’s no dabbing at the edges of your eyes with a hankie when you think back.

I’d like to express my gratitude to all the people I encountered who helped me achieve a better understanding of the past.

My First Experience with Inhumanity:
Let me go back to 1938. I was three at the time. My mother and I were in my grandmother’s apartment in Rueppgasse in the 2nd district of Vienna. The doorbell to my grandmother’s rang. I ran to the door and opened it. It was the SA. They entered to ransack the apartment. One of them, I remember clearly, wore a brown suit and limped. The other wore a grey suit. They searched the apartment. The brown-suited man pushed my grandmother, who was eighty-three away from the sideboard in order to ransack it. And indeed it contained her shopping money.

I see that occurrence as clearly as if it were taking place right now.

My parents left what had become Ostmark with me in 1939. Members of my family who remained at that address, as well as at Kärntnertrasse 28, my paternal grandmother’s address, were deported and murdered. Incidentally the latter address used to be occupied by the Educational Academy of the right-wing Austrian Freedom Party. It is now the home of a trend chain store.

After my return to Austria in 1963, I set about translating and publishing Austrian poets. I considered it my special mission to render those poets who had experienced the Shoah.

The conditions were anything but sanguine and salubrious. It was as if I had never left.

I soon got into hot water. Apparently, I can’t let things be. I simply had to stir the pot. And I seem to keep on stirring and stirring.

I’ve always said that I wanted to have smooth sailing, but I couldn’t help rocking the boat. Rocking seems to be in my genes. Stepping out of line, which is a movement my feet can’t seem to avoid making.

I’ve been termed a troublemaker. Yes, that’s what I am, and that’s what I’ll be as long as I am on this planet.

Rosenkranz und Gudenus in der Schule

Barbara Rosenkranz, FPÖ Präsidentschafts-Kandidatin, gefragt ob es Gaskammern gegeben hat: „Ja, die hat es gegeben …Ich gehe von dem aus, was ich in der Schule darüber gelernt habe.” - Der Standard 5. März, 2010

Hat Frau Rosenkranz seit ihren Schultagen, denn keine Zeitungen, Zeitschriften oder Bücher gelesen - und auch keine Filme gesehen?

FPÖ Bundesrat John Gudenus: „Es gab Gaskammern, aber nicht im Dritten Reich. Sondern in Polen. So steht es auch in Schulbüchern.”

Herr Gudenus hat sein Wissen auch aus Schulbüchern - Auschwitz liegt tatsächlich im Polen - nur Polen war damals ein vom Dritten Reich besetztes Land.

Rosenkranz and Gudenus in School

Barbara Rosenkranz, Austrian Freedom Party Presidential Candidate asked about gas chambers: “Yes, there were….That’s what I learned in school.” - Der Standard, March 5, 2010

Didn’t Frau Rosenkranz happen to read newspapers, magazines or books since her school days? Didn’t she see any films on the subject? Is her knowledge limited to what she learned in the classroom?

John Gudenus, former Freedom Party member of the Federal Council of Austria also refers to school days. “There were gas chambers, but not in the Third Reich, but rather in Poland. That’s what the school books say.”

Yes, Herr Gudenus, Auschwitz was and is in Poland, but no, Herr Gudenus in the days of mass murder, Poland was Third-Reich territory.

Before being elected Pope in 2005, it was Cardinal Ratzinger who headed the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican department that enforced the rules.

The BBC documentary Sexual Crimes and the Vatican chronicles a 1962 directive from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. “The document reaffirmed the inviolability of the seal of confession, but the BBC film said that it was intended to ‘protect and hide’ abusive priests….There was to be an oath of secrecy on the child victim, the priest, and any witnesses. The document was revised in 2001 to deal more specifically with sex abuse cases, but it still remained secret. It was sent as a confidential letter to every Catholic bishop in May of 2001.
According to The Observer of April 24, 2005: “It asserted the Church’s right to hold its inquiries behind closed doors and keep the evidence confidential for up to 10 years after the victims reached adulthood.” The letter was signed by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger.” Thus Ratzinger made himself an accessory to every act of pedophilia committed by a priest, as well
as confirming that the Church as an institution officially shields pedophile priests.

Apparently the hush-up policy was not “limited” to cases of pedophilia. According to CNN, Father Joseph Feit, confessed to a fellow clergyman that he had raped and killed young women in 1960 at McAllen Texas. Instead of being told to turn himself in, he was shielded and counseled at Assumption Abbey Monastery in Ava, Missouri. Now, after almost half a decade, one of his “counselors” has told the story.

We have heard so much talk in Austria from Bishops Andreas Laun and Kurt Krenn about abortion, which they describe as “murder in the womb.”

According to Laun, if a child is raped and becomes pregnant, the child should have the child. Here’s Laun making comparisons: “Hitler would have been delighted with legalized abortion. May I venture to say that Hitler was not all wrong? For thirty years Austrian children have fallen victim to legalized abortion.” (Laun needs to brush up his history. In the Third Reich performing abortions was a capital crime.)

Yes Bishop Laun, Hitler was a genuine lover of children. So much so, that he had a million and a half murdered in concentration camps.

Heinz-Christian Strache in Haaretz on March 5th: “The Wehrmacht committed crimes like any other army, and the deserters should be treated like deserters in any other army….Neo-Nazism? It’s just a spirit which “does not really exist.” (1)

Was Austria the victim or the perpetrator in World War II? Or was Austria a combination of both?

It all depends on what you can milk out of the situation. Having your cake and eating it is the best way of dealing with it.

Here’s former Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel’s view: “The sovereign state of Austria was literally the first victim of the Nazi regime….They took Austria by force.”(2)

If Austria was indeed “the first victim” of Nazi Germany, then the Wehrmacht was the army that conquered Austria. Those who fought in the Wehrmacht fought in an army of occupation. Thus, the Wehrmacht did not fight for Austria, but rather for Nazi Germany.

Interesting to note, is that Austria, not Germany, pays the Wehrmacht pensions of those soldiers who were Austrian citizens before 1938 and after 1945. Here’s he question of questions: If indeed “Austria was the first victim” of Nazi Germany, why on Earth are pensions and benefits for Austrians, who served in the Wehrmacht and the SS, provided by Austria - and not Germany? Why does the “victim” have to pay?

Well, we know how the “victim” victimized his victims. That’s the story that the Austrian revisionists are diligently rewriting.

The Anschluss is often referred to as the “Rape of Austria.” In my Memoirs of a 39er, I put it this way: “Before being violated, the victim hoisted her skirts and yelped.”

The Tenth Anniversary of the Schüssel-Haider Tandem Is Upon Us

Here They Are Taking Positions on Bygone Days:

Wolfgang Schüssel: Austria Victim not Perpetrator

Question: Does Austria consider itself as a perpetrator or victim 60 years after the war?
Wolfgang Schüssel: I believe that this question has been decided. The country (Austria) was a victim of aggression, specifically a military aggression. That was proven in the night after the occupation when thousands were arrested. If the Nazi leadership thought that all of Austria was cheering, these arrests would not have been carried out. The entire political elite was de facto cancelled out. There was resistance in all political groups. The allies recognized this…I will never permit Austria not be viewed as a victim. Our country was the first military victim of the Nazis in its identity. But I do not want to create the impression that we intend to minimize or erase the individual guilt of perpetrators in any sense
Question: Does the People’s Party intend to have post-war history researched, as the Social Democratic Party has done?
Schüssel: The entire leadership of the People’s Party (ÖVP) was in concentration camps and were victims.
- Wolfgang Schüssel, Austrian Chancellor, Neue Züricher Zeitung, Feb. 15, 2005; Austrian Federal Chancellory Online.

Otto Habsburg Comes into the Picture:

“Again and again there are shameful discussions concerning Austrians having been accomplices or victims. This makes it imperative for me to say that there is certainly no country in Europe that can more adequately describe itself as a victim than Austria!…When there’s a great commotion somewhere, many people will come to cheer. If you mention the
crowd of 60,000 at Heldenplatz (Heroes’ Square) - there are 60,000 fans at every soccer game.”
- Otto Habsburg, the Austrian Parliament Commemorates the „Anschluss”, March 11, 2008

Kurt Waldheim Presents His View:

Saying farewell to the concept of having been nothing but a victim is essential, yes that is a necessity for Austrians. It was the basis of our spiritual equilibrium after 1945, as well as for our reconstruction and our post-war identity.
- Kurier, March 5, 2006, p. 3

Jörg Haider on Our Soldiers:

“Our soldiers weren’t perpetrators. The perpetrators were elsewhere…. I have said that the Wehrmacht soldiers made democracy, as we find it today in Europe, possible. Had they not afforded resistance, had they not been in the East, had they not been in a confrontation, then we would have…  (Haider is interrupted by two astute Profil editors.)  (1)  I have stated that the struggle soldiers were engaged in helped stem the communist menace, and that is an undeniable fact.(2)   Their sacrifice must not have been in vain. Without their valor, we would not have the freedom in Western Europe that we take for granted. (3)   In these unsettling times there decent individuals with character, who stick to their beliefs despite strong opposition and remain true to them today as well. That is a good basis, my dear friends, for us younger people to inherit. (4)   Your sacrifice for the Europe of today, men and women of the military generation, should not have been in vain.(5)    It is incomprehensible to me that our grandfathers and fathers should have been criminals… I espouse this generation, the dead as well as the living. (6)  The Third Reich had managed to implement a competent employment policy.” (7)
