Though I shouldn't be awake right now things are going well. The well stated bit of truth saturday freed me in many ways. Had a good sunday night, monday night, tuesday night. Desk cleared but yet unused. New chef first day today. We'll run like butter soon. Watched Barfly. Interesting. Almost an anthem. Endurance aye? Anyway goodnight. hope you are well.
(below is a bulletin I just sent out on myspace. Feel free to repost or at least read up.)
June 1942 to February 1943 Munich University, Munich, Germany -
5 students and a professor print leaflets and distribute them by leaving them in the hallway between classes. Excerpts below. During the distribution of thier 6th leaftlet the Gespato catches them. They are tried, convicted and beheaded.
Digested from : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Rose
But they tried. They did something. In Nazi Germany people spoke the truth knowing the price. War Veterans of the French and Russian fronts who had seen what was happening with thier own eyes. I should hope we would all have the courage and integrity to do the same.
Thier names: Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl, Christoph Probst, Alexander Schmorell, Willi Graf, and professor Kurt Huber.
Thier words:
An excerpt from thier First Leaflet
"Nothing is so unworthy of a civilised nation as allowing itself to be governed without opposition by an irresponsible clique that has yielded to base instinct. It is certain that today every honest German is ashamed of his government. Who among us has any conception of the dimensions of shame that will befall us and our children when one day the veil has fallen from our eyes and the most horrible of crimes - crimes that infinitely outdistance every human measure - reach the light of day? "
Third leaflet:
Many, perhaps most, of the readers of these leaflets do not see clearly how they can practice an effective opposition. They do not see any avenues open to them. We want to try to show them that everyone is in a position to contribute to the overthrow of this system.
And the Fourth Leaflet:
"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, the fallen angel, Satan. His mouth is the foul-smelling maw of Hell, and his might is at bottom accursed. True, we must conduct a struggle against the National Socialist terrorist state with rational means; but whoever today still doubts the reality, the existence of demonic powers, has failed by a wide margin to understand the metaphysical background of this war.
