74 years ago this week, on 11/9/38, the horrifying event occurred that the Nazi Party called Krystallnacht. It could be said that the events of that night represented the official start of Adolf Hitler’s “endless war” against the Jews, but the methods used to justify that war were not an aberration.
Rather, the Night of the Shattering Glass, which saw the plate glass windows of a thousand Jewish businesses shattered (with most Jewish synagogues going up in flames and the first batch of 26,000 Jewish men heading for the concentration camps) was simply another example of an all-too-common historical reality that has been going on ever since the first tyrant orchestrated the first false flag operation that gave him a reason to declare, with flags waving behind, the first “retaliatory” war against a feared or hated scapegoat/enemy. And then, through cunning propaganda tactics, that tyrant plausibly denied responsibility for the coming violence because the enemy was, after all, the one who drew “first blood”.
