The worst of it all is that this division is also the first step of Genocide…
Genocide never just happens. There is always a set of circumstances which occur or which are created to build the climate in which genocide can take place.
Gregory H Stanton, President of Genocide Watch developed the 10 stages of genocide which explains the different stages which lead to genocide. At each of the earlier stages there is an opportunity for members of the community or the International Community to halt the stages and stop genocide before it happens.
The stages are:
1. Classification – The differences between people are not respected. There’s a division of ‘us’ and ‘them’ which can be carried out using stereotypes, or excluding people who are perceived to be different.
2. Symbolisation – This is a visual manifestation of hatred. Jews in Nazi Europe were forced to wear yellow stars to show that they were ‘different’.
3. Discrimination – The dominant group denies civil rights or even citizenship to identified groups. The 1935 Nuremberg Laws stripped Jews of their German citizenship, made it illegal for them to do many jobs or to marry German non-Jews.
4. Dehumanisation – Those perceived as ‘different’ are treated with no form of human rights or personal dignity. During the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, Tutsis were referred to as ‘cockroaches’; the Nazis referred to Jews as ‘vermin’.
5. Organisation – Genocides are always planned. Regimes of hatred often train those who go on to carry out the destruction of a people.
6. Polarisation – Propaganda begins to be spread by hate groups. The Nazis used the newspaper Der Stürmer to spread and incite messages of hate about Jewish people.
7. Preparation – Perpetrators plan the genocide. They often use euphemisms such as the Nazis’ phrase ‘The Final Solution’ to cloak their intentions. They create fear of the victim group, building up armies and weapons.
8. Persecution – Victims are identified because of their ethnicity or religion and death lists are drawn up. People are sometimes segregated into ghettos, deported or starved and property is often expropriated. Genocidal massacres begin.
9. Extermination – The hate group murders their identified victims in a deliberate and systematic campaign of violence. Millions of lives have been destroyed or changed beyond recognition through genocide.
10. Denial – The perpetrators or later generations deny the existence of any crime
Thank you Michael. I had to turn off twitter for a few days. I actually felt sick witnessing the macabre celebration of Kirk’s death. The faux compassion with caveats (he was an evil mans etc etc) unveiled the banality of evil for all to see. As we saw during the covid scam, these people would have ordinary people in concentration camps in a heart beat.
I saw a short video of Obama saying that people should stay angry and not back down. It was supposed to be part of his response to the assassination, but who knows.
He and T Blair have been the leaders of the movement for the destruction of truth, and they continue to do so.
I live in sleepy Jedburgh Bruce. I had no idea who Charlie Kirk was until I read about his death/murder. I read a little about his background etc. I obviously did not read enough to really have any idea about his true background etc. Regardless of my previous sentence, I was very sad and disturbed by this event for a multitude of reasons. I while at work on Friday, the two uni indoctrinated graduates that work with us began discussing Charlie Kirk. I was shocked, angry, disturbed and at one point I was on the verge of laying in to them both. I resisted that urge. The young lady concerned was educated at Dundee, he at Stirling. She is brainwashed, wears 2 NHS wifi attachments on her body. believes the world is overpopulated. She asked me about my political views, when I told her I had never voted she went a tirade of ridiculousness including "people died so you could vote" BS. He is overtly homosexual and since he began work with us has been very loud and obvious about his ideologies. I quote what he said about Charlie, "He was an evil misogynist and the world and his family are better off without him." End quote. You are right Bruce, these two young oinks would have you and I in a Gulag in a heartbeat.
Reading 'the true believers' by Eric Hoffer, written in 1948...astoundingly insightful...he basically describes...now.
Thanks for the reminder!

Absolutely on point Bruce as usual! Shared. This video should be of interest.

Thanks. Will take a look
Very well said, Bruce. Some of the comments from the likes of Stephen King and Adam Boulton are not only vile, they are in fact lies.
The cult of the left have no relationship with the truth.
