The Role of Locality and Non-Locality in the 3rd Reich’s Development of the ‘Final Solution’

In reading through a fine history book on the week leading to the signing of the Armistice 11-11-11-1918 ending World War One I have reflected upon not only this work, but that of others on the role and reaction of Imperial powers and other elements of European and global history to political and economic presence of Jews leading to the Reich’s adoption of the final solution to end the political ‘problem’ of Jews existing in a local polity. The infamous term developed perhaps applicable to a broader context of economic and political issues that made Germany politically unstable.

Yes, there may be more interesting, contemporary topics to write on. For instance there may be a question of was Osama Bin Laden read his Miranda rights before being shot by U.S. Navy Seals in Abadabad (a place in Pakistan where bad guys sometimes go to hide out). This essay isn’t intended to be a deep, comprehensive thesis on the causes of the decision of the Reich’s leadership to concentrate the German and European Jewish population and liquidate them in the death camps.

I am presenting several ideas on the topic stimulated by a recent reading of a history of part of the First World War. As one encounters novel ideas approaching the age of sixty, it is difficult to persuade oneself that the choice to procrastinate would lead to anything beyond annihilating the prospect for writing down the thought.

The German imperial state had existed for only about forty years near the start of the First World War. The King of Prussia was the Emperor-the Kaiser, of the German military and state that lost to the allies during the four years of the First World War. Jews were not Prussian officers loyal to their warlord, and as international and sometimes brilliant members of a Jewish Diaspora were scattered throughout the European nations as a somewhat restive commercial and intellectual class with little prospect for becoming ethnic insiders within a hotly contested political environment over history. They could easily become regarded as politically antipathetic members of an internal proletariat during a time of national stress. Political leaders could view them like rich cherry pies cooling in windows ripe for harvest. Humanity may have the heart of a thief in some of its political establishment sometimes. Our Lord was crucified hanging on a cross between two thieves.

European history it should be recalled was not invariably sweetness and light with liberty and justice for all. Those were real Huns that flanked the Roman Army too swiftly, real Mongols invading Russia and on to Novgorod, actual thirty years and hundred years wars, actual hundreds of years of British-Spanish naval battles, actual thousand years of war to drive the Moors back to Africa. Much of European political history developed along tribal lines loyal to racial leadership through feudalism that itself was capable of producing or politically evolving democratic institutions such as England during the event-processes of the Magna Charta. Jews were extraneous to the process in many respects, and following the tremendous losses of German established human, social and economic capital during the first world war, the rise of scapegoating of Jews for causal explanations of failures to win the war were easy to develop.

The Jews as a people in a society yet not of it was not unique to Germany. In Russia the tsar had a history of stimulating pogroms against Jews in various towns when the economy was bad to take the popular heat of himself and blame the Jews for a recession. European Jews of the Diaspora were politically outsiders in many respects both in religion and politics-two of the primary cultural avenues to power in local politics. Some Jewish thinkers desired a land of their own where they might also be a local people. Herzog and Zionism would take some time to arise, during the late 19th century many Jews opted for some new European state-perhaps a class neutral Bolshevik state or a nation for itself perhaps beyond the Pale of Poland. Jewish participation in the Underground red political organizations such as the Bolshevik Party (e.g. Trotsky) and widespread leadership in German revolutionary communist actions leading to the formation of the first German Republic including three Jews in charge in Bavaria ending the monarchy of King Ludwig’s 900 year family tradition were loud political opponents of German conservatives thereafter-especially during the post war decade the near creation of a German Bolshevik state at the end of the war would become an apparent obstruction to a reformation of a loyal German militarism.

During European history there was an ongoing process of local and non-local powers in politics. I have started to regard that problem of local political control versus non-local as something like that of non-locality and locality in quantum mechanics; each are necessary if one wishes to have material planets and stars exist.

In global politics today the advantage tends to be with non-localists sometimes appearing s a plague of locusts to the locals observing their resources being taken. The United States may have its Jews such as Solomon Brothers to participate in globalism and non-locality, yet they can hardly be said to be leading over Americans who have become more Jewish than Jews at business non-locality, since the Jews have created their own locality in Israel achieving a kind of balance although sometimes trained in the locality and non-locality phenomena that the United States is in error moving away from.

Locality is a necessary precondition for political self-determination in politics. It is also a requirement for non-monolithic governments and its multiplicity of nations that locality is not erased by non-local political and economic power.

The Jews in Germany became victims of the historical evolution of simultaneous local and non-local political, religious and economic powers. They were originally unwilling victims of a local Diaspora flinging them outward non-locally. One finds the absurdity of the genius son of the richest man in Europe-Ludwig Wittgenstein, enlisting in the Austrian Army to experience non-intellectual danger during the four years of the First World War where he writes the Tractatus Logico Philosophicus and pines away after his deceased British pilot. The non-locality of Jews in the early 20th century of Europe versus the local sometimes reached even more absurd levels.

Albert Einstein his friendship with a mentor who was the inventor of the chemical war agent GB. Eventually he left Germany with his family who manufactured electrical generators in Switzerland. After years of education and work in Germany fled to the United States developing an atomic bomb on the way. Locality and non-locality in politics and social experience created a vast range of conflicting waves of turbulent social change. Simple reactionaries such as Adolph Hitler developed economic and political methods in response to the existential challenges they encountered with means that were hyperbolized expressions of human historical tradition.

Perhaps human beings in this era are capable of only two absolute forms of governance-absolutism as a totalized state or local neo-democracy. Because human life exist in a physical continuum of perpetual time progression political balances have a tendency to escalate or reduce to absolute conditions not unlike the reduction of mass and energy to black hole singularities through the reinforcement of gravitational attraction. Keeping localities free from non-local political takeover and erasure is a reciprocal requisite for keeping non-local political powers such as that of global economics from becoming absolute powers. Unleavened political locality is a necessity if the leavened non-locality of global politics is to keep from collapsing into some form of authoritarianism of totalitarianism.

The Jews of the Era of the 3rd Reich were large victims of the human political conflict between locality and non-locality in politics. They weren’t the first nor the last to be held to be class enemies of local powers as non-local opponents to well being. That experience increases as chaos arises in society-such as occurred after the end of the First World War. John Maynard Keynes had believed that harsh requirements by the allies for reparations would lead to further crisis. World war two may have been the result of that, as deficit sending in Germany to stimulate a radical industrial economic recovery with huge public debt led the Nazi leadership to an unbalanced war economy footing that required a relitigation of the conclusion of the First World War.

The same dangers of radical political instability could develop in the world again with vast public debt build ups and global economic chaos stimulating wars and struggle for local security sometimes on a class basis not dissimilar in logic from expressions in law of class action suits. A stable political idea of conservative locality within a liberal non-locality seems the better approach to continuing life on Earth in nations free of oppression and environment destroying existential industrialist-nihilists.

The Nazi ‘final solution’ to the existential geo-political circumstance of the time was exemplary of populist reasoning of the day. Incompetence in political diagnostics is a reciprocal of political contests of power-there are winners and losers in mass actions necessary and unnecessary each. No more than final solution in physical theories of everything are comprehensive political solutions likely to cover the optimal utopian requirements able to satisfy all people at all times, or explain all things for all time. Non-localities and non-localities must cohere simultaneously in the paradoxes of politics and quantum mechanics without violating the boundaries of either, leaving the transcendence to us as God and grace permits.

Einstein demonstrated that as a local object accelerates toward the speed of light it mass ‘weight’ increases. Political mass too encounters a bow wave that it cannot get over at sublunary velocity as a locality tries to become the Universal State. Political resistance to universal, global states may also increase Universal precipitating a transition into gravitation collapse toward singularity.

Populism and pragmatism may find many ways to define class enemies. Locality may be regarded as hindering to votaries of non-locality and vice versa. Mistaken belief in non-locality as locality can prevail amidst existentially phenomenal economic classes arising without local roots.
Existential economic bubbles developed through non-local business processes may locally collapse with anisotropic distribution.
Conservativism and its antipathetic opposition perennially discover new political methods whereby conflict is afforded opportunity as a means-for-itself. Confusions arise in the polity solved through allegiance to simple, stark-for-others beliefs. Belief in God and the Lord Jesus Christ may be the only effective solution capable of liberating human beings as localities-in-themselves, for-themselves to overcome temporal finity, transcending in the saving relationship to the ultimate non-locality of God, the Father of all localities.

Ideas for Expeditious Financial Withdrawal from Afghanistan and Pakistan

The world historian Arnold Toynbee once noted that a foreign culture will resist perceived or real attack on their religion more than any other attack that might otherwise leave them without a will to resist. We know that cultural adaptations follow economic change positively and economic changes follow cultural changes generally negatively or destructively. In seeking to permanently change the economic causes of comparative poverty and Moslem terrorism on the United States from Afghanistan or Pakistan it is improvident to implement policy goals primarily through military means. Military changes radicalize a culture stimulating its culture toward violent catastrophe based transitions rather than stability without asymmetric condign state oppression-state dictatorship of clerics, bureaucrats or families.



The U.S. political policy should be to design highly adaptive steady-state green economic procedures for second and third world countries that can be transfered and implemented at comparatively low cost for the United States. It would be far more cost effective compared to the highly inefficient largely military approach of American occupation relying on building sycophants of the global corporatist economic infrastructure. That costs hundreds of billions per year versus two or three billion development costs for a steady-state economy in Afghanistan or Pakistan. The trouble is of course that the U.S. Government hasn't got a clue about how to develop a steady-state economy in a second or third world country. Instead it employees hundreds of thousands in the war industries with extremely high tech and costs wrecking the opportunities for life development of millions of American citizens.

More efficient, less costly military procedures to arrest foreign terrorist need to be innovated along with readily transferable solid-state economic and energy packages for second and third world countries that need help. A trickle down of further high tech tools of modernization will inevitably follow over time bring an evolution of culture as the people themselves find their new balance.

A Comment on 'The Greatest Day in History'

In reading the book on the last week of World War One by Nicholas Best named 'The Greatest Day in History' (The London Daily Express called Armistice Day-November 11, 1918 that) I am reminded a little of significant historical events such as the recent trophy hunt of the most wanted terrorist in the world Osama Bin Laden and how they effect public perceptions.

History experienced by many different participants in the final week of the war including soldiers, politicians and civilians from sveral sides remind one of the mini-bird-god's eye view of how so many politicians, soldiers, civilians and other thought at one time, diventegratively, wholistically, fractiously and/or phenomenally the great events of the week.

Contemporary historical events in Pakistan and Afghanistan also afforrd disintegrative social powers and individuals asymmetrically asserting political powers and economic power, or subverting political and economic power, or subverting power in a simultaneous nexus of contemporary history.

Pakistan has myriad parties and terrorist organizations devoted to driving India from Kashmir. Its military and intelligence forces have factions and groups not at all on the same sheet of music necessarily-that is, some of the players support individual initiatives with plausble deniability or even complete covert activty that others in government, military and intelligence know nothing about. An effort to impose a uniform, cookie cutter politcal conformity upon the region by the Unted States that would eliminate formation of terrorism is unlikely for several reasons including but not limited to the fact that the U.S.A. seems like such a rich yet stupid nation that can be defeated or reduced in power simply by forcing it to spend on defese against terrorism. It is also questionable that the U.S. administration and establishement financial elites have a monistic view of Central Asian efforts in the new hyper-dimensional 'great game' already a decade old.

The U.S.A. should dedicate itself to the propositions that all people are created equal unto God, and that the U.S. economy should resolutely improve toward full employment and eological health with home security and justice for all Americans. Many hope that the U.S.A. begins a positive cultural contribution of Afghanistan and Pakistan with transferable steady-state economic packages operable in a hostile social environment and discontinues the military approaches as an ineffective means to bring cultural progress. It create a temporal displacement of power that resumes because of an inconclusive resolution of underlying reasons for conflict in Afghanistan as in Europe in 1918. World War Two-the bigger brawl-was the second round of the first world war.

American demands on Afghans and Pakistanis for conformal political organization absent of terrorists to a certain extent disregard the tactical issues of the region that drive Pakistan to support terrorism in Kashmir and Afghanistan as a way to de frappe Indian hegemony, and Pakistan's constitution requires Shria law.

The ongoing idiomatic logic of Washington politicians to prosecute wars of cultural transformation for decades can lead as readily to the destruction of U.S. cultural health as it can repress and radicalize civil life of people abroad that have zero prospect for affording the expensive American way of life to the satisfaction of the financial service and banking sector that led the mortgage default crisis.

President Obama Sends River Flood to Missouri

The Federal Government sapped a levy holding the Mississippi River back out of Missouri to save a town in the President's home state of Illinois from potential flooding. Demographic, utilitarian political choices are exemplified-the greatest good for the greatest politician determines the political decision. If Harry S. Truman were President would he have made the same decision, or would Illinois have been inundated?

For several years environmental scientists have studied the idea of allowing the Mississippi River to flood naturally instead of trying to force it into a levied drainage ditch; not only unrealistic, its bad for fishing and hunting as well. The method used by the government to use the flood control method of flood diversion needs improvement.

Select areas might be designated for high-water flood control overflow and special gates installed to allow flooding from a given level rather than at a zero level as results when a levy is blown. Perhaps only a few feet of water off the top needed to spill over instead of flooding it down to ground zero.

Horizontal river spillways of lower height than other levies along the Mississippi might be built along with a comprehensive overflow spill control design to channel future floods into constructive ends. Farmers and others in these areas should know the potential high water mark and build accordingly. The federal government might compensate farmers for years when their fields are flooded because of high water. The government should also notify farmers adequately in advance of floods so expensive farm equipment can be moved. If homes and other structures must be built in flood overflow areas, they should be built on concrete piers, be able to float or be set on survival islands with rip rap rock around them.

Overall, I would give the Army Corps of Engineers and D grade donated by the Administration for a failure to better plan for Mississippi overflow spill control. We know from the failure of levies in the Katrina disaster that the Congress values spending billions for foreign kinetic military actions over funding the Corp of Engineers to work with ecological analysts to improve the United States.

When obvious flood control overflow is possible-even the Indians of Cohokia of A.D. had the good sense God gave them to build near St. Louis in a location where there pyramids could survive for a millennia without being flooded by water (the human flood of insensitive development overtook them)-the U.S. Government should use and implement new flood control overflow spill control planning with synergetic, beneficial effects on the environment and farm prosperity.

The Constant Source ©2011GaryCGibson (poem)

If the constants of both time and space
were forever to become untrue
changing life's conceptions along with place
what things could last even if we choose?

What things last when all inflate
light speed, learning and dreams of night
such meanings past, the present in sight
those futures we might first contemplate

Three Persons in One
three dimensions and time
God of all morrows
transcending the signs

Of seasons changing and worlds anew
living chemical equilibria
quasars with a redshift of four
fine-tuned processes that shift like a string
up to the cross
reverberations beyond ways and means

Satan has no pain
never a good thing lacking
given everything from God
for the asking
first place near perfection
the created being of scenes
ultimate sadist, desiring consumate wings
power, the perfected yunpie esortsufngred hrough crucifixion though
giving the meek and saved the true constant
that they may know the glory
of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Mission to Planets Orange ©2011GaryCGibson (poem)

With a classification of the worlds
according to the color
planets that were orange belonged to no other
clusters of angstroms measured in time
with or without magnetic fields
deflecting charged particle from stars
of waves through curved spaces time
unto Mars, Europa and Tethys read
as green and blue
selected with vision determing locality
visions interpreted in reactive spectral concise renormality
chords of sharp and major frequencies
shifted from infrared to ultraviolet
with biological thought receptors
changing brown to yellow
when paint pots of possibility write
for Mercury becomes white
in the meaning of first light
the speed of gravitons faster
erasing color with terminator night
overcome by surfing quantum packets
interpreted with God given reasoning of right
ever the colors flow
signals, data, of no classification inchoate
lifting event processes to vector then
for timing direction to planets orange.

Osama Bin Laden Killed in Pakistan

In the non-fiction book 'Hunting Bin Laden' author Rob Shyltheis describes the most likely hideout of the designer of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States as a compound in the northeast mountains of Pakistan. The compound is described in detail. The terrorist was killed Sunday. U.S. reliance on fossil fuels continues special vulnerability to global terror on the U.S. economy.

http://www.amazon.com/Hunting-bin-Laden-al-Qaeda-Winning/dp/1602392447

Osama Bin Laden may have lived in Pakistan with the protection of Pakistani intelligence. Evidently Osama Bin Laden was located at a reasonable facsimile of the compound of literary note in Abadabad Pakistan. U.S. intelligence is said to have followed up a lead from August 2010 (did they read the book 'Hunting Bin Laden' published in 2008 or 2009?) that led to an an assault by a few Americans Sunday-reportedly a Navy Seal team The U.S. Government buried Bin Laden's body at sea after sampling the D.N.A. for confirmation. Such a quick disposal will leave room for some to wonder if, as in the absence of Hitler's body for public review, if he really was killed.

It would have been more satisfactory if Os had been captured with a high tech area knock out method and returned for interrogation. When Lee Oswald was killed quickly by Jack Ruby and unavailable for debriefing, it closed off a lot of leads and left many unanswered questions.

A decade has been spent chasing Os Bin Laden at very high opportunity cost to domestic U.S. development enriching a world of global corporate contractors. Os Bin Laden was finally killed as if on schedule as the U.S. is slated to pull out military forces from Iraq this year and supposed to withdraw forces from Afghanistan by 2014 while a new kinetic military action has begun in Libya creating more work and cash transfers to the military-industrial complex.

This is not rocket science or the deployment of more advanced space propulsion systems. More efficeint, lower cost methods of defending U.S. physical and economic property and civil rights need to be developed alternative to large scale conventional deployment of troops to hunt for global guerrilla spook terrorists, their leaders and broadcast cohorts.

Perhaps the government can plan for withdrawal and reduction of taxable military investments abroad until a future time when kinetic military action is required for proximal defense or preemptive defense against continua of attack. Creating steady-state, green, renewable economic infrastructure in second and third world countries is a better investment than dumping military aid and non-renewable, unsustainable neo-classic economic assistance to upper classes abroad.
