Historical Ignorance

Zur deutschen Fassung.

I am always a bit disappointed when my clients show little enthusiasm, as I explain to them that the finely balanced inter- and sometimes counterplay between federal laws, the state judiciary and municipal executive power in Germany actually has its foundations in the Holy Roman Empire.


Equally surprising: The prevalent indifference of my clients at the Family Court in Nuremberg, when I try to cheer them up with the information that they are getting divorced in the same building where the Nazis were once hanged.

  2. I would quake if my lawyer pointed out something like that

    • I don’t know why, but often, when I try to cheer people up, it has the opposite effect. :/

      One of my many talents for which I haven’t yet found a good use.

  4. Reading Andreas Moser’s thoughts about people missing the rich history behind places really hits home when I think about Nepal—and especially the Everest Base Camp trek.

    As an experienced traveler who’s spent time trekking those legendary trails, I can say it’s so much more than just stunning views and physical challenge. Nepal’s mountains aren’t just giant rocks—they’re living, breathing stories of ancient Sherpa culture, timeless traditions, and spiritual devotion. Every prayer flag, every stone path, every village whispers history and respect for nature that you feel deep in your bones.

    Many visitors come for the adventure, but the truly seasoned travelers say the same thing: the magic of Nepal is in this perfect blend of raw natural beauty and soul-stirring heritage. The Everest region teaches you humility, patience, and a connection to something greater than yourself.

    Just like Andreas points out with those historical sites in Germany, it’s easy to miss the deeper layers if you don’t look closely. But once you do, trekking in Nepal becomes a transformative experience—one that stays with you long after you descend back to the lowlands.

    For anyone who’s been there, you know what I mean. Nepal isn’t just a destination; it’s a story you live.

    Wenn ich nach Nürnberg komme, dann immer zur Zentrale der Bundesagentur für Arbeit. Das ist auch ein imposantes Gebäude (Wenn auch längst nicht so riesig wie es in Pressefotos erscheint). Von den oberen Stockwerken kann man auf das Reichsparteitagsgelände sehen. Aber keiner der BA-Kollegen wollte je mit mir da hin gehen. Aber alle wollen mir den Weihnachtsmarkt zeigen. 

    Grüße von Rolf

    • Hallo Rolf,

      dabei weiß doch jeder Nürnberger, dass der Weihnachtsmarkt nur für Taschendiebe ist. :-)

      In der Kongresshalle ist jetzt ein Dokumentationszentrum, das ist einen Besuch wert.
      Und der große Platz für die Aufmärsche, das ist irgendwie absurd, weil da jetzt die Fahrschulen üben oder Inline-Skater herumflitzen.
      Und sehr zu empfehlen: Die Currywurst beim Fritten-Kalle. Gute Wurst, cooler Typ, alles sehr entspannt.
      In diesem Artikel gibt es ein Foto von der dortigen Currywurst: https://andreas-moser.blog/2022/04/06/ukrainische-tranen/ (Mist, jetzt bekomme ich wieder Hunger. Dabei versuche ich gerade mal wieder eine Diät.)

    The Reformation did not liberate Europe from the Church; it exported the Church’s theological hatred and intolerance into multiple competing sects which promoted Supersessionism, Demonization of Jews, Replacement theology, and Sanctification of violence for ideological purity. Calvin’s Letter to Bullinger, About Luther, on 25 November 1544

    In a letter to Bullinger, dated November 25, 1544, he adjured him to treat the great man, meaning Luther, with respect. A lot of good that letter had! Both Calvin and Luther together with the Poop of Rome all directly contributed to the 30 year war blood bath. The theological absolutism of Xtianity became the political absolutism of the modern European nation-state.

    The Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648), a political earthquake. This devastating conflict in Europe, involving numerous states and religious factions. Indeed, the theological and political tensions fostered by figures like Calvin, Luther, and the Papacy played significant roles in its escalation. The Protestant Reformation, led by Calvin and Luther, splintered Xtianity in Europe. This division created deep-rooted animosities that fueled the 30 years Civil War between Protestant and Catholic states.

    Only the WWI and WWII Civil Wars slaughtered such a gross and disgusting blood bath. The Catholic Church, being a central institution during this period, sought to maintain its power against the growing Protestant movements. Actions taken by the Papacy often intensified the conflict. Religious Intolerance branded Europe just like as did Nazi racism. This inherited, perhaps genetic intolerance, perpetuated by leaders across Europe. Proved and validated: scratch a European and find a barbarian; 2023–2024: Europe slanders Israel and enables pogrom mobs on University Campuses while pretending moral authority.

    Calvin and Luther contributed to the intense hatred, matched only by the Nazi hatred of Jews! Their legacies directly responsible for the 30 years war where Xtianity as a religion proved itself as worthless tits on a boar hog avoda zarah. UN Hypocrisy as the Direct Inheritance of European Xtian Super-sessionist Ideology. Palestinian Nationalism as a Post-1964 European-Framed Gospel mythology!

    Calvin and Luther did play roles in shaping the religious landscape of Europe. The context in which they worked, marked by significant corruption within and across the church Av tuma avoda zarah. Goyim throughout European history – utterly barbaric in their violence. The Crusades stand out as but just one example of this Dead God religion, an expression of the nadir of the barbaric animal soul of European sub-human man. Europe Has No Moral Standing Over Israel.

    The violence witnessed in the Thirty Years’ War, the World Wars, and other conflicts certainly reflect a human propensity for brutality, especially when ideologies at stake. The capacity for intolerance and hatred has shadowed many aspects of human history, leading to tragic outcomes. Herzl wrote his “Jewish State” because he argued that Europeans, impossible for them to heal themselves from their anti-Semitism cancer infected minds.

    Europeans utterly addicted to ideology in shaping human behavior and societal structures. Honest discourse and acknowledgment of past atrocities immediately flies out the window whenever mob Jew hating protests condemn Jews. The disgrace of Europe during the anti-Jewish Oct 7th massacre by Hamas, Islamic Jihad and UNWRA stands proves that Europeans memory of their past crimes “forgotten” in their Holocaust Denial where the ICC assumes it has jurisdiction over Israel despite Israel’s rejection of the Rome Accords!

    The slander accusations which call Israel a genocide state matched only by the violence of Nazi inferior race propaganda that reached a pre-War cracindo during the pogrom “Night of Shattered Glass”. Long-standing struggles with intolerance and hatred define the corrupt European soul. The Thirty Years’ War illustrates how religious divisions, combined with political ambitions, lead to catastrophic violence and suffering, with devastating impacts on civilian populations. The persistent presence of anti-Semitism in European history reflects deep-seated biases that have manifested in various forms of violence and discrimination.

    UN accusations of genocide, despite the UNWRA participation in the Oct 7th massacre, never presented by the reactionary propaganda MSM press as accusations – but rather as cold proven facts. This reality proves the mental insanity that Europeans pass down from generation to generation. The Palestinian “Passion Play” over made up imaginary facts. Palestine ceased to exist as a UN protectorate territory the instant Ben Gurion declared Jewish national independence in 1948. Goyim hatred of Jews who defeated Arab Armies – dedicated to throw the Jews into the Sea and fulfill like Jesus did the words of the prophets, the Nazi Shoah across Europe; despite the PLO charter explicitly declaring that only ’48 Israel qualified as “Occupied Territories”, the UN declared post ’67 that Samaria and Gaza as “Occupied Territories”. Yet Goyim mental insanity fails to catch the UN lie.

    The empty platitude: An honest and thorough examination of the past is essential for creating a more tolerant future. Tits on a boar hog empty drum noise. Recognizing the role ideologies play in shaping societies and the harm they can cause, this the diseased minds of European governments simply cannot do. Not in the days of Calvin and Luther and not today. The common denominator which ties all European society together … their cold dead religion of Xtianity’s rabid hatred of Jews.

    Post WWII Jews say Never Again. Meaning Never Again shall European governments dictate any other “solution” for “the Jewish problem” post Shoah. Israel’s response to UN Resolutions 242, 338, 446, 2334 etc … NEVER AGAIN. The longstanding strains of anti-Semitism in Europe, indeed intertwined with historical events, creating cycles of prejudice that Europeans – without fail – always ignore or minimize every time that mobs rage across European cities. This persistent hatred has roots in religious, economic, and social contexts. UN accusations and resolutions reflect broader political agendas of biased assessment of reality, leading to distorted perceptions and narratives. Israel has washed its hands of Europe like Pontius Pilate washed his hands over the false messiah JeZeus. Jews, post Shoah, no longer accept responsibility for Blood Libels, or poisoning the wells etc.

    Anti-Semitism in Europe has no cure other than Jews breaking all diplomatic relations with European governments as possible allies in international relations. The instances of mob behavior and anti-Semitic sentiment in cities across Europe reveal a consistent repeated pattern of Jewish hatred and historical biases, specifically that Ottoman Greater Syria never referred to by the name Palestine other than in European made maps which the “Sick Man of Europe” bought and acquired after Napoleon.

    The role of the UN, a betrayal of the Balfour Declaration/League of Nation Palestine Mandate to establish a Jewish National Home in Palestine. UN revisionist history which promotes the Arafat lie that Arabs lived as Philistine boat-people who originally invaded Gaza from the Greek Islands, yet fails to confront the inconvenient fact that Arab people never originated from European countries. Ignored that not till 1964 did Arab propaganda opportunistically embrace the name Palestine! Yet amazingly European and Arab propaganda promotes the lie that Jews occupy Palestine mandate lands of Samaria despite England’s separation of the Palestine Mandate territory from Trans-Jordan at the Jordan River in 1923.

    The reference to “Palestine” in historical contexts reflects colonial influences rather than indigenous identity. The narrative that Arab identity shifted around the name “Palestine” post-1964 a political maneuvering that utterly distorts and perverts history. This revisionist history denies the Balfour Declaration and the League Palestine Mandate and substitutes UN 3379 Zionism is Racism slander only matched by the recent Israel commits genocide slander.

    The persistence of anti-Semitic actions and sentiments in Europe, a cyclical and deeply rooted mental insanity, invariably ignored or minimized by those in power for the entire Easter period passion play. European Xtians prioritize “I am saved” stupidity which they drum into the heads of their fellow believers to remain oblivious to their blood soaked, cruel and puke history as a people. Anti-Semiticism morphed into Colonialism and later into imperialism. Dominant European states addicted to ruling the roost of the balance of power across the major regions of the Planet Earth.

    After the fact, Spanish sincere apologies for expelling the Jews from Spain in 1492 compare to a screen door on a submarine German sorrow over the slaughter of 75% of Western European Jewry and Rome’s most sincere remorse over the post WWII Nazi Rat lines or Poland’s anti-Jewish pogroms! Europeans lie, just that simple. They do not possess a shred of human sincerity simply because as soon as the immediate disgrace of their inhumanity to man gets passed over through the passage of time, European behave like dogs who return and eat their own vomit again and again and again.

    The complexities of Jewish identity, historical narratives, and the struggles against Amalek/anti-Semitism resonate deeply in contemporary discourse. Propaganda narratives around “Palestine”, influenced by colonial European motivations emphasizes the impact of power dynamics in shaping identity and historical memory. The idea of post-1964 Arab identity being a political maneuver underscores the contested nature of history in this context.

    Hostile pro Arab narratives touching “Palestine”, in essence seek to deny both the Balfour Declaration and the League of Nations Palestine as the establishment of a Jewish National Home. All Arab wars fought, including the 1948 Independence War, the Arab rejection that dhimmi refugee Jews have equal rights to achieve self determination in the Middle East. UN Resolution 3379 – Zionism is Racism, and current chants: From the River to the Sea Palestine will be Free reject the European red herring “Land for Peace”. Arafat offered East Jerusalem and 98% of Samaria and Gaza as a Palestinian State. Hamas took over a Gaza independent state and immediately made repeated wars that culminated in the Oct7th Abomination 2023 War.

    The British French propaganda expressed in post ’67 UN Resolution 242 exposed as revisionist history. Russia and Poland occupy Prussia to this day! The Allies made a forced 14 to 20 million population transfer of Germans living for generations in Prussia and the Czech Republic. The Indian/Pakistan mass population transfer Britain and other Western Powers praised to achieve “peace”. Such revisionist history never to this day denounced as a blaggard lie. European imperialist vs. Israel follow the rule: Do as I say but not as I do.
