On this day in 1945: The "Allied Control Council," a military occupation dictatorship in which the German people had no voice and which was a joint operation of Stalin's Soviet Union and the Western "allies," formally takes power in Germany. Among its first acts are a total disarmament of Germans (gun ownership was widespread in National Socialist Germany), absolute censorship of all media, destruction of millions of "forbidden" books, and the forcible relocation of tens of millions of Germans, causing widespread death.

With understanding comes inspiration. With inspiration comes dedication and unrelenting struggle. And with unrelenting struggle comes success.

Congoid slang is corrupting the English language. Recently I read a headline, "house committee drops crypto bill." The obvious meaning of that is that the lawmakers were giving up on the bill and were no longer pursuing it. But no -- what the headline writer meant was that the bill had been submitted to the legislature. Very horrible, ambiguous language.

In the 1980s I met a man who had served as a gunner on a US Army Air Corps crew in WW2, flying over Germany. He said he obeyed when he was ordered to strafe and kill anything that moved below, including refugee families trudging with their pathetic possessions along the roads, farmers, women, and schoolchildren. He obeyed -- but he was a broken man for the rest of his life. Another WW2 veteran told me of the capture of some young German soldiers by an American patrol. The commanding officer ordered his men to take the captured German boys up to the regional command center for POW processing, and be back in 15 minutes. The regional command center was over 100 miles away. What he was really telling them was to take them into the woods, murder them, and leave their bodies to the wolves and vultures.
