Complacency Toward Radicalism, Satisfaction Under Tyranny


ICJS Research sent this to me in email form about a week ago. It is an email from a Dr. Emanual Tanay writing about how a small amount of radicals in society will end up being the ruling elites if complacency is the mind-set of the day.

For Dr. Tanay this is not merely theoretical thinking, it is a conclusion derived form personal experience of being a person of wealth and influence in pre-Nazi Germany. He uses his experience of how the Nazis took everything and eventually sent him to a concentration camp.

You see Dr. Tanay was not a Nazi fan but the pride that Nazism restored to Germans of the humiliation heaped upon Germany after World War I was just too irresistible even as bad things began to happen Nazi enemies and Jews.

Early complacency to radical Nazism hooked good German people who basically became owned by Hitler’s power apparatus before it was too late to move from complacency to activism.

In the ICJS Research email I received, they asked me to read an article about Jewish thinking in which basically Jews become their own enemies. That article is entitled “The Enemy Within.”

The theme of “The Enemy Within” is Jews became complacent in their existence and satisfied with an exilic or Diaspora way life for fear of change to be able to take control of their own lives such as Moses (Moshe) leading the Hebrew tribes to the Promised Land. Moses had to deal with Jews who did not want to leave and a Pharaoh who did not want to let them go.

Read “A German’s Point of View on Islam” and then read “The Enemy Within” and then cogitate the mind bending scenario.
