Three dictums serve as beacons of----about 90,000 words----treatise covering the succession of lands : [1] Roman Emperors' adage '"Panem et Circenses," [2] Goebbels' “...A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth,” and [3] Marx's “...Freedom is the consciousness of necessity.” During the WWII, two events : My tete-a-tete with Reinhard Heydrich and my Dad's---having been awarded National Hero Cross' by President'---“Don Quixotesque” and insane fight against the entire SS regiment during the Prague uprising in May 1945. Even an SS commander appreciated his feat and personally drove his half-dead carcass to a nearby hospital. After WWII, the Russian reign over the Czech Lands was piece-meal established culminating in a Communist putsch in 1948. Yet, dictum [1], when even foodstuff became rare in the late 60's, compelled even the Communist politburo to enlist the best professionals of the Land----their mostly negative attitude towards Communist doctrine notwithstanding----to put the economy straight. Hence I became an ADM in Ministry of Technology, saving the country untold billions, succesfully fending off Brezhnev's tries to ruin the Czech industry. By nonsensical edicts. In 1968, I moved to Canada to became an economic adviser for Ontario Treasury. As the PM Trudeau's policies defied any improvement of the living standard of Canadians, I relocated to Saudi Arabia, where-----under the aegis of Saudi PM and with the mandate : To improve the economy-----I stayed almost 20 year. There, I lived through a few serious escapades, almost costing my beheading. I met young Osama Binladin at a Binladin Corp. reception. This unexpected tete-a-tete lead to my joining him in a card-game following by further fascinating chat. I also jointed my Saudi friends in a conspiracy of royal princes against the King and been tasked to write a letter---officially presented to president Bush Sr. by a Saudi ambassador----asking the US president to order (because he could at the time) king Fahd to install Majlis (senate) with Osama presiding. George Bush Sr. recoiled and since then, instead of a born leader who could have made an Eden out of Kingdom, the world “landed” the Caliph of Terror and 9/11. After the Kingdom tenure----founding Canada worse to live in then when I left it---my next, almost 4-year, stint took place at Silk Route of Central Asia; where Ashgabat, under the Turkmenbashi spell, was a center of some incredible scenes that literally bewitched me there. . Last part of the text deals with subjects the whole world population is morally terrorized by: The doomsday-type climate change; presumably brought about by human CO2 emission. These completely false (in text proved ridiculous) news are spread around by Al Gore-style Eco-terrorists (proved in the text)----some of them funded by Neo-Marxian funds tied to Soros Funds---are extorting heavy “carbon” taxes from already poor segments of population, coercing them, on top of it, into buying various anti-CO2-emission gizmos from Al Gore Enterprises (All my notions are backed by science-proven axioms by the world pre-eminent scientists). .

INTRODUCTION

This opus presents a collection of memories of most interesting events in my life, from the beginning of the WWII. I was born and had lived in Prague----the cultural and intellectual capital of the Central Europe----between 1936 and 1968. All through the text, there’s only one beacon that substitutes a litmus test to grade the success of individual administrations under which I have lived, and for some of them had worked, for 80-plus years: They were: two different ‘democratic’ republics, a protectorate under the Third Reich, a communist and a post- communist dictatorship, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and five former Soviet Central Asia republics. The said litmus test being the ancient Greco-Roman dictum: "Panem et Circenses" (i.e. "Bread and Circuses"). It is an axiom for world rulers and leaders who want their subjects to stay together in peace and prosper as the dictum could be loosely approximated by well-being.

Based on my memories and all the most trustworthy available information (from parents, close relatives, friends and other trusted sources), I have distilled four kinds of terror that I believe stand----in various forms----behind any sudden drop of the living standard (i.e. Bread in the Roman dictum) in any given sociopolitical setting of the world:

[1] Political terror---combined with the open moral terror based on frightening people with a peril that might appear if they wouldn’t do as told---- inaugurated by the Russian secret police, with the help of local Communist-Marxist parties, in all the East European countries (and many of the Asian and African as well) "liberated by the Red Army or under the USSR influence. This had let to eventual partition of Europe and into the Cold War, lasting about forty years.

[2] An open and undiluted physical terror based on militant WahhabiQuran worshipers-----some of which have emigrated to the predominantly Christian Lands in the last decades ---and, as a ‘fifth column,’ abet or perform some of the most uspeakable crimes against humanity (in the name of Allah, of course).

[3] Implicit moral terror, based on frightening people with a peril that might appear if they wouldn’t behave according to strongly suggested norms. In our times, the major moral-terror incidence comes from the unscrupulous gold-diggers who---instead of threats of Allah vengeance--- are using the threat of the global-warming-by humans-CO2-emission to extort carbon and other aligned taxes, inclusive of the anti-global warming gizmos they peddle to scarred masses to make themselves billionaires, The king among this odious rat-pack is unassailable Al Gore. More about him appears in the passage, Commonwealth of Virginia investigation of Al Gore in RE: 18 U.S.C. § 1040 (around 2007), later in the text.

[4] Intellectual terror, which was brought about by the neo-Marxist academia ----- originally educated by Frankfurt School in Germany (whose most odious graduate was Mr. Soros) ---- which is busy spreading gospels about: Global-warming, Affirmative Action, Accelerated Multiculturalism, BLM, Woke Brigades, and bevy of Constitutional Laws giving all media benefits to everybody who is not Straight Single Male or Female; and god forbid being a WASP. These academics are banned even from free speech in academic institutions.

[NOTE: Professor J.B. Peterson says: If you don’t say what you think then you kill your unborn self. And U.S. district court decision in United States v. Associated Press (1942), the Court observed, The Nation’s future depends upon leaders trained through wide exposure to that robust exchange of ideas which discovers truth ‘out of a multitude of tongues, [rather] than through any kind of authoritative selection’. (see GOOGLE).]

According to my experience the institution that has contributed the most to reducing the standard of living (that is BREAD in the DICTUM----mostly through the above roots [3] and [4] is the MEDIA. Wanton bias in many mass-media ‘offerings’ proves its omnipresent occurrence and, hence, allows a wee question: What if there is a general bias, about major historical events, going on for ages? To do something about it has been the main driving power behind this vade mecum.

To start with my first great (and completely truthful) tale--- whose subject had become a subject of probably unfairly demonized---- occurred while being only a 6-year old tyke. It came up as completely random chatter with Reinhard Heydrich (the third man in the Third Reich). He---in the story in the later chapter--- sat me onto his lap, stroking my hair (while visibly crying after our creche choir sang for him) and in halting sob-gasped words, pointing at me, said: This is the future of our nation. His, severely botched, assassination a few weeks afterwards, had only one crystal clear effect: virtual elimination of the entire elite of Czech and Moravian lands. An absolutely insane act----- conceived by already mortally ill former president Benes so that he could be recognized by Allies as a future president again-----had its absurd cost: Czech Lands have never returned among the top intellectual-savvy countries, she used to be before the WWII, again.

Later on and despite my upper middle class ancestry----inclusive my public and definitely not at all Marxian behavior (even on the stage while played and MC-ed the most popular country & western band in Prague), boosting my red flags in the State Security files (StB) well over the max----I eventually made it to an ADM, in the Czechoslovak ministry of technology in 1967, just in time to shot down (with the great help from my section) Brezhnev’s direct order to ax the sugar beet fields, plant the bread wheat instead, and buy the sugar from Cuba. As an aside: Sugar beet is the source of sugar (a very lucrative export article, a main ingredient in making the Czech Rum, a famous---for its low price--- alcoholic beverage in the whole Central Europe and a mainstay in Czech pubs (together with beer), and no less important cattle feed.

Then, the very next year (September 1968) the Russians, with the rest of the Communist sphere warriors, invaded our Lands (sugar beet, wheat, and all the rest of country) and started to reign under the Marx doctrine. Because I never did what I despised to do particularly for whom I hated--- and vice versa attitude from the victorious Communist war machine---- it had to disappear fast. Consequently, I moved to Canada via Bern (Switzerland) with my fiance, a 4-years sentence----granted in absentia---for participation in a group of academics who allegedly worked against communist ideals and a deal with Ontario administration. The deal----the pledge "to seriously upgrade the Ontario (and Canada) academic output to the US or UK standards ----was done by shaking hand with the then Canadian consul general in Bern.

Canada under Conservatives, in 60s and half of 70s, was a country that could have become a paradise, much as Norway has been in the last decades. The academic output in social sciences was, indeed, ridiculous but I had a 5-year plan to slowly mend it (publications, lectures at major international meetings and/or conferences) drastically (as seen in the text). However, no new idea (theory, system, method, etc.) was necessary because a new proto-Marxist ‘liberal’ administration----whose average comprehension didn’t exceed even the sub-par middle school student in Canada----took over the government. Consequently, I was slowly moved away from the policy circle, so any pledge---given to the Davis’ administration---- could not be fulfilled any more.

Hence I relocated (for 20 years) to Saudi Arabia, to continue with my trade: Applied quantitative sociology and socio-economic systems optimization and strategic planning. This time it was the Saudi PM, the Prince Sultan, who was pretty well the whole administration. With full backing of his government, I helped them, among other projects, to alleviate the bane of the sudden oil prices drop. There, I’d made a lot of friends in the Saudi Hejazi high society of very intelligent and in West-educated Saudi crowd.

Next big tale from the Kingdom (also pukka sahib) concerned me playing cards with Osama-bin-Ladin, leading to very interesting discussion with him, while playing the Black Cat, which made me eventually understanding his evils,. This event is reported in special two sub-chapter in the text. Continuing with harrowing tales from the Kingdom, the next one had drawn me into the, then, genuine Saudi underground. Hence, the only hwadji (white non-Muslim) that has ever waded into the maze of the Saudi international politics----apart from Lawrence of Arabia---- was most probably me.

My assignment was to make a final editing of the semi-official letter, the underground---containing a few of very senior royal princes, without whose clout I would have probably been beheaded, as lese majeste offense had only this final solution--- was personally delivered by the Saudi ambassador in White House to president Bush Sr. Only he could push the then Saudi monarch, Fahd-bin-Abdulaziz, to install Majlis (sort of Saudi sand senate). This was the institution every Saudi intellectual yearned for a long time. And the time---beginning of the Iraq War and, hence, Fahd’s total submission to the American forces protection ----was on our side too. If Osama, generally expected and by entire Saudi elite approved, would become the chief of Majlis ----after Bush would grab a telephone handset and say YES, DO IT (to Fahd)---- there wouldn’t have been any Taliban, nor 9/11. But Bush---- as all US presidents, couldn’t see outside the US borders----dropped the whole thing and did nothing.

Coming back (after almost 20 years) to Canada----pretty well like in PET’s reign 20 years ago---- I couldn’t stomach idiocy of the liberal administration policies (global warming due to human emission of CO2, green energy, political correctness, free immigration, etc.). Disseminated by neo-Marxist zealots in Canadian media, universities, NGOs, and administration, these policies should keep Canada in the Third World probably forever. So I left again for a few years to lead various European Commission’s projects in Central Asia and, now, I am only astounded by the current Canadian administration that---no matter what absurd results has been collected world-over from the very same policies---- let the leftist and neo-Marxist policy-makers to make another enormous mishmash out of, basically, sound economy. Theoretically sound I might add. In so far the natural resources there’s more than enough natural resources in these Lands, that----with proper management (that is: professionals, managers and scientists)----would make Canada an Eden on this Planet.

But, the overall drivel-producing Justin Trudeau administration notwithstanding, I still am (in my mind) bound by my pledge to the Davis’ Ontario to push Canada into, at least, the Central European enlightenment level. This is the very reason of this narrative, after all. The last chapters of my opus should----if understood properly, together what "Bread" upsurge the American economic policies are producing (see NOTE)----might be the last nail in the coffin of recent Canada socio-economic policy makers. Let us have a very slim hope that the next generation is, finally, going to get it right. However, given the brainwashing----by media and, particularly, by legions of Marxian-leaning and trained academic and administrations’ windbags----the young generation has been going in toto, I am not so sure.

[NOTE: Peter Hitchens in The Mail on Sunday, 13 October 2019 wrote: „....If we completely abolish all our fossil-fuel generation (9% of 135 GW in Canada), it would likewise not matter in the slightest – except to us, our economy and our standard of living. It would make no difference at all to the impact of Chinese coal burning on the atmosphere.. They producing well over 1,200 GW from the coal alone; with 390 GW for US and 200 GW for India. Whatever we do----suppressing coal (Canada’s great and only world-topping energy source) ---- it would make no difference at all to the impact of (combined) Chinese, US and Indian coal burning on the atmosphere.]

To summarize: There’s enough Games in these Lands, but Bread (in terms of the family disposable income) is getting astray fast, as well as any hope for future and population mood, so important for productivity improvement is dropping too.

PRESIDENT OF THE CZECH AND

SLOVAK LANDS WAS A CATALYST

OF THE WWII; POLAND AND

UKRAINE ITS FIRST VICTIMS

I was born in Prague---- a city around 100 miles west from Vienna (if we talk in the meridian geographical terms)----few years before the onset of WWII, as the only kid to a thoroughly middle-class family. Memories of my (and my friends’) parents and/or the lingering tales about the WWII horrors had probably a lot to do with such a meager procreation. My tender age also robbed this paragraph of a lot of my personal recollections except from the couple of major ones. Hence, I am left here at the mercy of sometimes difficult to get information from the best sources possible (obviously not from the media, official or not). Fortunately, some great info came from the actual participants and/or books written by the direct participators in each of the remembered actions and/or situations..

PAGE 1 in GP

When the odious year 1938 came about, the then Czechoslovak president Edvard Benes---despite the Czech Border Fortifications (called The Benes Wall), much better designed that the Maginot Line and were, for the 1938 (not the 1939) state of the German army virtually impenetrable -----threw the towel into the ring. The only serious worry would have been: German air force superiority (Luftwaffe). On the other side-----and that should have been well known to the Czechoslovak military intelligence-----the expected battle losses would have most probably kick-started the German army general staff officers to stage a putsch against Hitler (see [S 8]). And this is what we all---Czechs, Slovaks, and the world at large ---should forever remember: A surrendering gesture like this one, which in the history of human warfare is almost unique, will always sap all the moral level of the nation, and possible forever. Even relatively unarmed Poles, at the same crossroad, chose to fight the attacking German armored divisions with cavalry troops; not having any armored units, and even the Polish infantry didn’t have any modern equipment except of WWI rifles and WWI machine guns (see [S 9]). It may have, in retrospect, seriously alter the whole WWII proceedings and, as we shall read on, perhaps even drastically. Same the Finns: They had kept the whole Red Army troops in the trenches long enough so the reasonable treaty could have been successfully negotiated..

[NOTE: In the WWII all the Polish units--- in RAF as well as in armored units and infantry--- fighting alongside the Allies, showed incredible courage and spirit; after two months’ of American and British forces trying to overcome the German defenses at Monte Casino in Italy to no avail, a Polish battalion run over the best German SS defenders in the first try]

So, all of the sudden, the Czechs---the Slovak part split and formed an independent state under the German tutelage---had now a protectorate (see [S 10]). An unusual legal apparition of a former independent state, from which, apart from Slovaks, all German occupied territories (with the fortifications) were officially added to the German Reich. Consequently, the Czechoslovak president Benes officially resigned in October 1938---the year is of major importance vis-a-vis the previous paragraph with the years in bold fonts--- before being flown to U.K. as a private person.

[NOTE: This had become a giant headache for the British Foreign Office, to wit: How to made officially abdicated president of Czechoslovak Republic the full-fledged president again in Britain while the new president of his country of origin was democratically elected by the legally existing National Assembly later in 1938 (also important, as one country is not supposed to have two legal presidents at any one time.)]

However, into this legal, geographical, and demographic mess, the German protector had been thrown, to actually reign over this remaining society of Czechs, 30 percent-strong German minority, and substantial percentage of mixed marriage---Jewish-Czech and Jewish-German----population. If anything it showed that in the technology well-versed and trained Czech workforce was deemed by the German policymakers to be one of the basics for the Reich and its army to stay afloat. notwithstanding their plans for other Eastern Slavs. Some of it was clearly shown in the Polish----".Poles have been born for low labor;" see [S 11] --- and, later, in the Russian propaganda campaign (see [S 12]). And it didn’t amount to any sort of protectorate friendliness.

In these proceedings Hitler missed the only opportunity he ever had to install the lebensraum (i.e. the habitat for the German race in the East) up to the Ural Range by treating the Ukrainians as enemies. There is an ancient Arab proverb stating: The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Not heeding this proverb probably cost Hitler the WWII.

In fact, the whole Ukrainian nation would be only too glad to help German army to beat the Russians (and Stalin, most of all) to a frazzle as a repayment for Stalin’s earlier policy designed to cause a famine in the Ukraine to destroy the people there seeking independence from his rule (see [S 13]). As a result, an estimated 7 million persons perished (see [S 14]). Hence, turning enemies into the friendly folks and moving the Lebensraum borders to accommodate the whole Ukraine would brought about: breadbasket of the East Europe, large oil reserves and full refineries infrastructure, and important ports in the Black Sea: Odessa, Sevastopol, Yalta etc.. Of those seven millions, two and a half millions must be charged mostly to the British War and Foreign offices (see [S 99]) and---- partially and, due to utmost naivety-cum-stupidity-----to American High Command in Germany. The first group of British political generals and Anthony Eden decided unilaterally (with Americans not knowing any better) that 2,5 regular war prisoners (in German uniforms) and other refugees from Ukraine should be forcibly (in trucks, most of the time) returned to USSR. Obviously, there was a certain death awaiting them on the other side. Naivete or stupidity, the Allies have been till eternity responsible for the death of two and a half Ukrainians (and probably more; as these ‘official’ counts were by definition (and for political reasons) under-counted.

Political shenanigans aside, these very units of Vlasov’s Ukrainian army actually saved Prague, the city of my forebears, from potentially becoming another Warsaw. Hence I, together with all Prague citizens at the time, simply must give them our collective thanks.

Let us switch for a moment from warriors’ lingo to the domestic front. Both my parents were working. Mum at the Ministry of Finance and Dad was ‘couching’ a publishing house, big enough to be able to produce (in the late 30s) the first complete encyclopedia of general knowledge in Czech language.

[NOTE: It was called The Masaryk Encyclopedia of General Knowledge. Dad not only put it, more or less, together himself ----getting all the best available experts’ articles in time and, most importantly, the imprimatur from president T.G. Masaryk---- but was enterprising enough to stash about 30 complete 7-volume tomes for himself. This appeared to be a godsend in the crisis eras of WWII, and then the Communist reign over the country for 21 years. During both societal crises, there was not enough food (in the first crisis) and money (in the subsequent second), so these tomes acquired---in Czech highly intellectual and over-all educated society--- the value of gold and opened the black market for, both, money and direct barter of food from always well-to-do farmers, for decades to come].

During that time, I was living a full-fledged prequel to a "Home Alone" movies except of the Nanny toiling somewhere about in our apartment----- big enough to have a special room for the chief of household: our dog Arga (a 90 lbs cross between the German shepherd and, most probably, a wolf) ---- bringing me the lunch at noon-time sharp and thence disappeared to whatever room she wanted to. So, in a warped sense of priorities, it was almost a watershed event that I contracted a full-fledged polio and had to spend about 3 months in a hospital. For me it was, finally: the world. The pinnacle of these merry times were always happenings at 4 PM sharp every day. It was the time when the hospital sisters, nuns in fact, appeared with a tea. Tea was there all right but also a full plate of confectionery called "Indians with whipped cream. Their origin was Vienna but----just as most of Viennese confectionery-----these goodies were invented by the Czech pastry-chefs working in Vienna, and further improved in Prague. A cone of the dark thick chocolate filled with the whipped cream on the thin circular pastry. have become a love of my life, and I was sure if somebody later suggested those were the reasons I went through the polio scot-free, I would say: definitely."

PAGE 4 in GP

So back to the saga of the Ukrainians who were, after a lot of tries-and-errors," eventually successful in getting some of their soldiers admitted into German army corps. But all they wanted was to fight against Stalin. In fact, if Hitler played his cards right, most of the Ukraine would be joining him fighting Stalin (see [S 15]). At the long last, they were eventually allowed by Hitler to rally around the general A.A.Vlasov to join Wehrmacht but, to their dismay, were allowed to build only two divisions in 1943 (see [S 16]). Let us, henceforth, call the Ukrainian army by its actual initials RLA (as Russian Liberation Army---from Stalin rule---obviously).

[NOTE: The dream of Greater Ukraine brought (over the last two centuries) chant, the masses of Ukrainian people had taken to: Ot Kieva po Pekina, samostijna Ukraina, translated as From Kiev to Beijing, independent Ukraine It is also clear that with similarly unreal national goals, Ukraine will be a big problem for the world in a long future].

Going with that tide, Heinrich Himmler, the chief of SS---who was, at the time, made the supreme Commander of the Vistula front ---told this to general Vlasov: .. Now all depends on you and on fulfilling the task you were given. The task is not easy but you are the best of the best in our army. Go, do your duty and homeland will never forget you (see [S 17]).

By homeland he obviously meant the Ukraine, hoping that her helping the Wehrmacht to conquer Stalin would be the final nail into the Stalin’s coffin. No need to stress again that this was Hitler’s major supreme goal from the beginning (see [S 18]). However, as it fortunately happened, the mismanagement, slights, and outright contempt of the Ukrainians by the German forces, had eventually lead to the decision of general Vlasov and the RLA----during their retreat westward----to help Prague rather than help the SS forces already in Prague to raze her.

In the meantime, in the Protektorat Bohmen & Mehren (the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia) the life went on relatively smoothly for most of the population with two important exceptions:

# One were the Jews, against whom Hitler felt the raw and almost insane animosity, easily recognized in his Mein Kampf opus. The Jewish transports to Teresin (a Czech equivalent of the odious concentration camps in Germany or Poland; except that this one was meant to be just a transfer station to the real concentration camps).

# And the second one was the elite of the Czech society formed by the old-generation politicians, intellectuals: academics, writers, actors & artists----who, as they were primus inter pares in the pre-War Masaryk’s republics----steadfastly opposed the Germanization plans of Hitler. The opposition was not about the language or nationality at all. They would hate to teach either Czech or Czech-German new upcoming elite that could be, on their own volition, helping_Germans to realize their_New Europe---- which, strictly speaking, wouldn’t be that much different from the EU as we know it today-----and were hence swiftly shipped to the concentration camps.

The problem was that scantily manned ‘underground was usually satisfied with minor sabotages in the minor factories. Only few militants had taken the direct actions against the armed units of Wehrmacht. They were installed there to function as protectors of the law and order of the ordinary citizens of ‘The Bohemian and Moravian Protectorate.’ And this---to the knowledge of any number of citizens I talked to, not to mention my parents and their clans ---they did impartially and fairly. legally (;see the Geneva Convention above). Apart from regular German armed units there were numbers of Sicherdienst (i.e. security) personnel stationed there as well to keep tab on the militant ‘underground;’but the ordinary citizen never knew there is such an ‘extra’ police force in the Land. In the same way, you don’t care about FBI or CIA guys in mufti who have more on their plate than to even notice you (unless you are IT: i.e. a terrorists). Too bad these guerrilla underground and elitist rebels forgot or didn’t read the Geneva Convention 1929. Or, most probably, from their elite status they have never cared about the ordinary citizens, who are the soil of Czech and every other Land.

PAGE 11 in GP

This is, by the way, the case of every presumed do-gooder on this planet. They, just like the Yassser Arafat, Nelson Mandela, Obamas, Trudeaus, Al Gore, Kofi Annan, and the late lamented Marx, Lenin, Fidel Castro et al, interested in their self-assured higher calling to make the planet better. The major question here is: FOR WHOM?

And so, following this circle of madness, the Czech ‘elites’ (abroad) were doing their utmost not to make minuscule dents into the German war machine-----but make sure they were re-elected into their high government posts after the WWII----- in exchange of the lives of tens of thousands of absolutely innocent ordinary and decent citizens. They just had the misfortune of being relatives, distant relatives, unsuspecting friends or even acquaintance of these ‘apostles of progress.’ The real tragedy was that to gallows, long-term jail or to concentration camps almost always went the innocent bystanders, never the self-crowned ‘messiahs.’

[NOTE: In WWII chronicles, we run time and again into articles describing unspeakable atrocities having been carried out by German army (particularly Waffen SS). First of all, the SS divisions were every inch the best of the best fighting force in WWII with exemplary behavior---- see the story of my Dad’s removal from the battlefield to the hospital in the SS general’s car (and thus saving his life) equaled maybe only by a few British guards regiments. Secondly, the Geneva Convention 1929: para IV, ch.64, para IV, ch.66 and para IV, ch. 71, tells you that civilians in the country militarily defeated at war and occupied by the winning side cannot engage in destroying the occupied infrastructure that now serves the winning side. Also, and above all, the civilians (unless they from the occupied side cannot start shooting at random at the occupied army forces. The retribution is death and it is legal. And by the way, summary executions of guerrillas----foreign soldiers and officers clad in the opposing army’s uniforms or terrorists (armed civilians of occupied country fighting the regular occupied forces ----had been proven to be going on both sides. That’s why even the Hitler’s favorite commando leader, SS colonel Otto Skorzeny, who lead the rescue mission (Operation Greif) freeing Italian dictator Benito Mussolini from captivity and later----during the Battle of the Bulge------given an order by Hitler to assassinate general Eisenhower, he used German soldiers, speaking fluent American lingo clad in German uniforms. Eventually he was charged at the Dachau Military Tribunal with breaching the 1907 Hague Convention. But----as it was proven that the Allies forces were using similar tricks ---- he was acquitted; see WIKI.]

REINHARD HEYDRICH: AN

INCARNATION OF LOVE-HATE

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CZECHS

AND THEIR GERMAN PROTECTOR

After all these necessary preambles, it’s time to mention "the Cause of Reinhard Heydrich, that has been the source of so much misinformation and/or politically intentional disinformation ---- to the point of being ridiculous ----presented by the world media ever since his death. Using Mark Twain’s phrasing I been there," my personal experience had, both, negative and ambiguous impact on the mind of, then, a five year old tyke. The negative one concerned the security police apparatus in Prague (under Heydrich) snuffed off the life of my godfather. He was a member of SOKOL anti-German cell and despite the incredible torture didn’t reveal the cell above; of which my Dad was the only contact person.

[NOTE: The SOKOL, is an all-age gymnastics organization first founded in Prague in the Czech region of Austria-Hungary in 1862 It was based upon the principle of a strong mind in a sound body. The SOKOL, through lectures, discussions, and group outings provided s physical, moral, and intellectual training for the nation. This training extended to men of all ages and classes, and eventually to women.]

But then, I was sitting on Heydrich’s lap while he was stroking my hair, voice muffled by his weeping, after our choir----- of the pupils of the kindergarten on Hellich Street located among the sakura-like trees in the gardens below the Petrin Hill in Prague-----sang a medley of German evergreens in that spring of 1942. Since then I have developed quite a different notion of him. I was too young to judge a person but I knew that person-----being so attuned to music----couldn’t be bad.

Seems a good time, now, to introduce this new protector in some more details. Especially since some of his ideas vis-s-vis Czechs and Moravians, the tribes forming The Protectorate of Czech and Moravia, were not exactly corresponding to Hitler’s master-plan for this new political entity. General of Waffen SS, General of Police, Chief of State Security and the man with the iron heart (as defined by Hitler) was the third most powerful person in the Third Reich. Another epithets called Reinhard Heydrich the Blond Beast or the Hangman, depending of who was talking.

Reinhard Heydrich wasn’t an idiot or a savage, let alone the hangman; unless you chose to forget the Geneva Convention 1929 protocol about home-made terrorists under lese majeste umbrella. (see it’s para. IV, pp. 65-77, 78, 136, 137, and 143). He was a product of the German Naval Academy and started his career as a naval officer. He had been completely sold on----as majority of the intelligent Germans (and all the masses)------Hitler’s ‘master-plan. Its objective and main premise was for Germany. to be strong again after the shameful Treaty of Versailles---- presented for German leaders to sign on May 7, 1919---- had made a perpetual poor boy out of their motherland. He grasped very fast the major axiom of the future of the Third Reich in war. With most of the indigenous German manpower either already in, or soon to be in, the German arm forces (Wehrmacht) you need a whole new, very skilled,
