My father was evacuated from Guernsey in the Channel Islands just eight days before the Nazis invaded in an occupation that was to last for five years. I have archival photos of a Nazi flag draped over my grandfather's hotel and German fortifications still dot this small island.
This was to be a "model occupation" and set the stage for how Hitler would occupy Britain.
I visited an elderly aunt in Guernsey a few years before she died. She did not make it off the island in time. We visited the German underground museum and stopped in front of a letter that General Rommel sent to Hitler bitterly complaining that they needed troop support in northern Africa and why was he arming Guernsey and using badly needed funds?
My aunt laughed when she re-read the letter. "You know", she said, "we always knew that when we read the newspapers or listened to the radio that the very opposite was happening in the Nazi world. We all knew that the papers were their way to control us."
She went onto say that they knew the war was going badly for them when the level of rhetoric rose higher praising the Nazi armies and predicting their "certain victory."
"We never believed them", she said, "not once".
We are facing a more global whitewash now and we must all develop critical thinking when we read things in the mainstream media about our Covid world, a media that is owned after all, by those entities that are vested in keeping us the thrall of paralytic fear.
The same level of propaganda that was refined by the Nazis then is being used now. Demand concrete scientific evidence. Hold all corporations, development agencies and governments to task and demand their integrity.
