I’ll take a crack at India, and this will be the longest answer I’ve ever written and most effort I’ve ever put into an answer.The year is 1855. A visitor arrives at the port of Madras, with scant belongings but a large briefcase. Seemingly mediocre, no one particularly notices him as he makes his way along the streets of Madras, bustling with activity near the port. He holds on tight to his briefcase as he walks past hustling natives and columns of Redcoat soldiers. He continues walking at a brisk pace, with none of the British soldiers lounging around the area questioning or noticing him, too busy talking about the war raging on in Crimea with the Russians, and the successful landings in Kerch against the Russians. He makes his way to a poor man attending to his horse-cart, slips out a few coins to the cart-driver, and tells him to make way for Hyderabad, an independent princely state situated northwest of Madras.After a while, this visitor found himself in the territory of the Nizam, in Hyderabad. He found a small inn, where he paid to rent a small room for the next two weeks. Once granted permission, he quickly opened up his briefcase in his room, and took out the components. First, he took out a letter from a man named Johann Nicolaus von Dreyse, which seemingly had hundreds of instructions written across it. Then, he took out the gun.It was the Nadalgewehr, the needle gun invented by his friend Johann von Dreyse. It operated with a peculiar manner at the time. Instead of being loaded from the muzzle, it was loaded from the breech, like guns would be decades later. As such, it had an incredibly high fire rate as compared to muskets, and Johann himself hand-made this gun for his friend, the Visitor, to ensure reliability. Through his contacts throughout Prussia, the Visitor had a sizeable stock of ammunition for this weapon stocked with his contacts throughout Hindostan already.The Visitor grabbed his long overcoat, hid the Nadalgewehr under it, and set out, wearing his top cap. Today, after all, was the day that Mir Faqunda Ali Khan, the Nizam of Hyderabad, would be touring the streets of his grand capital, according to the Visitor’s contacts in the city.Accompanied by his soldiers, the Nizam walked through the streets of Hyderabad. As the Nizam galloped on his horse, the visitor pulled back the bolt of his gun. He loaded a bullet into the gun, and pushed the bolt into place. As the Nizam’s horse came in range, the Visitor took a breath. He watched the Nizam carefully from the rooftop he was perched upon, hidden from view, and as soon as the gun settled, he pulled the trigger.The Nizam was almost instantly killed by a shot to the head. His men panicked, and his son around him jumped off the horse to avoid the same fate. Too late. The Visitor had loaded the gun once again within 5 seconds, and pulled the trigger again, shooting Mir Tahniyath Ali Khan in the neck, killing him. The host that was meant to protect the Nizam and his son scattered, confused as to where the bullets were coming from, while officer upon officer was shot down by the Visitor. When the Visitor decided it was too dangerous to keep shooting, he tucked the gun back in his coat, and ran from rooftop to rooftop, hidden from the crowds gathered down, and jumped down from a narrow alley onto the ground. He walked towards the office of one of his acquaintances, but was stopped on the way by one of the Nizam’s soldiers.“What’s your name?” enquired the soldier, as his comrade interrogated another man walking down the street.“My name is Hyder Jafar, Janab,” answered the Visitor.The soldier, nodding in approval, kept walking down the street. Meanwhile, the other man being interrogated also answered, telling another soldier his name. The man was named Raja. The Visitor heard the soldier call Raja a “damn low caste Hindoo”, and from his peripheral vision saw the soldier drag Raja into a dark alleyway, where he was undoubtably stabbed. The Visitor kept walking, knowing now was not the time to think about this. He walked to his acquaintance’s home, and handed him a letter. Right away, his acquaintance ordered his workers to make 200 copies of the letter, which was to be plastered all around the city, and they were to shout the message of the letter to people passing by. Once the Visitor saw the copies made, he watched the messengers flock around, plastering them around the city, and he handed a pouch of coins to his acquaintance. After shouting the message they were ordered to shout, the 6 employees started to run away from the Nizam’s forces, who had caught onto the miscreants. As they ran, with full knowledge of the content of those letters, towards the office, the Visitor took aim, and shot all of them down to prevent their capture.Days later, British forces invaded Hyderabad, tipped off by an anonymous source months before that there would be an opportunity for expanding their domains into Hyderabad. As they walked into the city, shooting the Nizam’s forces and civilians by accident, they started to see innocent civilians get gunned down from somewhere they couldn’t see.Once the occupation was complete, at the cost of thousands of death civilians, the soldiers began to notice posters plastered around the city, blaming the British for assassinating the Nizam because they wished to invade Hyderabad, and warned of the murder of civilians if the British invaded.The visitor was now in the Punjab. It had been months since the Hyderabad War, and tensions were running high across India. Armed with multiple Dreyse Needle Guns, the Visitor, who now used the name Fauja Singh, stormed the sacred Sikh gurdwaras alongside his Akali contacts.One by one, the corrupt Udasi Mahants who were the stewards of the Gurudwaras were driven out and executed for the heinous crimes they had committed by abusing their power against women and the faith, and replaced with Akalis, with the support of bribed British officials. The entire power core of the Sikh faith had shifted from the non-Sikh Udasis to the orthodox Akali Order, who were now very close with Fauja Singh, whom they regarded almost as their leader, having led the battles from the front lines.Over the next year, the Visitor travelled across the country, making connections with many dissidents across the nation. Several prominent British officials began to go missing or were found dead.In March of 1857, the wave of dissent began to rage across India. Almost every week, a high-ranking official or native Prince was assassinated. Security had been ramped up in the cities of Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, with more and more troops arriving. With more officers than soldiers dying, the East India Company troops were finding that their units were increasingly lacking leaders, and their officers began to cut down on patrols throughout cities due to fears of ambushes. The tight streets of Lucknow had become a death trap for British forces; many times, patrols of 10 troops marching through the alleys would be cut off on both ends by 2 or 3 men, and mercilessly gunned down, with at least half of the unit being killed in the fury of gunfire.In April of 1857, prominent leaders across India travelled, in secret, to Delhi, where they reportedly met in a small tavern near the heart of the town.In May of 1857, the War of Independence began, fuelled by hatred of the British occupiers. On May 10, 1857, the garrisons in Meerut, Cawnpore, Pune, Lucknow, Agra, and Lahore revolted, with the native Sepoys overpowering their officers. Expecting the Sepoys to kill them, the British soldiers and officers were surprised when they were simply tied up on the orders of the Sepoys who seemed to be the leaders, and transported secretly through the forests in the discreet cover of night to the headquarters of the Revolution.Within a week, all across India, the natives were rebelling. Sepoys seldom shot the British, and simply took them hostage. Traffic around the city of Delhi was increasing, which raised alarm bells for the British soldiers in the area. Their fears were confirmed when Bahadur Shah Zafar was proclaimed the Emperor of India by the rebels.The people of Hyderabad, having quelled their hatred against the marauding forces of the British who stormed their city just like the posters said they would, fought off the few soldiers in the area, mainly armed with farm equipment and a few carrying outdated muskets.The East India Company was flabbergasted by the planning of the entire rebellion. It seemed as if everything was coordinated, and the entire garrison system across India began to fall apart. The British appealed for help to the Gurkhas and Sikhs. The Gurkhas came to their aid, marching upon the cities of Awadh, where the idea of Indian nationalism first sprouted during the War. However, the British were shocked by the reaction of the Sikhs, who they expected to support them. All across Punjab, the Akalis were sending messages straight from the Durbar Sahib in Amritsar to all the cities of Punjab, which urged the Sikhs to fight against British. From Lahore, Akalis helped transport the Fatwas of the Muslim clergy all across Punjab, urging Muslims to take up arms against the British. The Hindus too followed suit, fighting for the independence of Hindostan.Within weeks of the outbreak of the rebellion, the garrisons in Bengal were completely overrun by rebels. Calcutta soon fell as well, with thousands of Sepoys rushing into the city through a secret attack, bolstered by the people of Calcutta. The few British soldiers who survived later reported that at the vanguard of the attacks was a very tall man, well over six feet, who mowed down the Redcoats with his seemingly Prussian gun. One British artist who was captured by the forces and was apparently interrogated by this mysterious leader himself before being released by the magnanimous leader drew his experience sitting in front of the leader as such:He was described as wearing armour while leading his men, apparently to instill a sense of power in them. He wielded a scimitar, and was taken by the British to be a Sikh. When questioned about his age, the artist said that this man seemed to be in his early 20s.By this time, most of Northern India was already under the control of the revolutionaries. Such was the rough situation in India by that time:While fragmented EIC controlled areas existed inside the Revolutionary States, the massive offensive into Calcutta cut off their reinforcements and supply, and they slowly either starved or surrendered, having heard stories of how prisoners were not killed by Sepoys usually. Thousands of these prisoners joined their compatriots in Delhi’s jails, who had been rotting there since the start of the conflict.By now, a lull had been reached in the fighting. Very few troops had been sent to India from Britain, since the coordination amongst the rebels was not expected. Pune, and thus a large swathe of land in Bombay Presidency had been recaptured, and troops were being offloaded out onto Madras Presidency in the South and the Sindh in West India.On March 19, 1858, one of the deathblows to the British hold over the subcontinent was dealt. Afghan forces invaded with all their might the North West Frontier, linking up with Punjab, where they were greeted by Punjabi revolutionaries, many of whom were the same Sikh Empire soldiers whom the Afghans had brutally fought a mere decade back. Oh well, decided the Punjabis and Afghans. Better to live in the present than the past, and make to most out of opportunities presented to them. With the few British troops in Balochistan rushing north to try to retake Peshawar, Iranian forces invaded Balochistan, leaving British forces stranded in the mountains between Iran and Hindostan. The now-starving forces decided to travel into the Multan region of Punjab, and all remaining 6000 forces surrendered, making their way to Delhi as prisoners. It was later reported to French diplomats by some Iranian servants to the Qajar Emperor that they had seen turbaned man clad in a lush navy blue tunic talking to the Emperor of Iran and with the Emir of Afghanistan.With a mass mobilization of forces, the revolution also reached the Dacca Area in East Bengal, and was soon overrun by mid-1858, with rebels in South Burma simultaneously declaring independence from the British. The mountain states, cut off from supplies, were also abandoned by the forces of the East India Company, who made their way through Burma, perishing in the jungles.However, the British hold in South India was still strong. With the war dragging on so long, Britain had started sending regular troops. Every week, a convoy carrying a thousand British soldiers arrived in Ceylon, Madras, Calicut, and Surat. Knowing that this fragmented rebellion cannot withstand a united push by the British, and knowing all about the Opium Wars, the Visitor decided that it was the perfect time to declare an independent state of India. Taking inspiration from the USA and France, the Visitor, in the city of Delhi in front of hundreds of the major revolutionary leaders and even regular soldiers and civilians, penned the Delhi Manifesto of independence in English, with multiple scribes copying down the Manifesto in their own languages.We the People of Hindostan hereby do declare the founding of the United Republic of India under the following maxims:All people are created equal at birth, and none shall be superior to another on the basis of caste, creed, gender, or occupation; slavery and bondage shall be abolished.All people must have the freedom to speak as they wish, to worship whomever they wish, and assemble peacefully shall they wish.There shall be no more aristocratic tyranny, and a Republic shall be formed for governing this nation, as elected by the electorate, and office shall be held by the electorate.No foreign nation shall have dominion over this sacred land.We shall consider all men and women innocent until proven guilty.With copies of the short Delhi Manifesto being sent all around the Revolutionary States in taverns by the few educated people that were alive at this time in front of the illiterate masses, a massive propaganda campaign was started to keep the fire of patriotism burning and prevent the factionisation of the movement. Translated copies of the works of Thomas Paine, John Locke, and the such were sent across both Revolutionary and British India, being read secretly in the latter at inns and in public places. People were being inspired by the French and American Revolutions. Support for the Manifesto was unabounding amongst the masses, but was reviled by the upper castes for its republican attitude. As a result, the Visitor caught on to a conspiracy to depose of him and restore aristocracy. It was then that the Visitor, whom all Indians admired for anonymously leading the rebellion, decided he needed to reveal himself to be able to get the masses to crush the coup attempt.Messages were sent in a flurry all around Revolutionary India, proclaiming Raisal Singh Ven as the new Commander of the Revolution, and the author of the Delhi Manifesto. With the support of the religious clergy around the nation, Commander Ven called upon the masses to rise up against the aristocrats who were bandwagoning upon the Revolutionary War. Within weeks, the aristocracy was nearly completely destroyed, with land reforms being initiated within its territory. More battles were fought in British-occupied land, with more rebellions inspired by the campaigns of Ven tipping the tide of the war. Now, by the summer of 1860, the situation in India was such:Peasant uprisings had given the revolutionaries the chances to sweep across British-held territory, and only Madras Presidency, Ceylon, Sindh, and part of Bombay presidency were left under British control. However, by now, European nations had grown increasingly concerned, and had started to take part in this conflict. The French had sent troops alongside the British to desperately hold onto the British Indian territory. There were around 18 000 Franco-British forces in Sindh-Bombay, around 40 000 Franco-British forces in Madras, and close to 20 000 Franco-British forces in Ceylon, for a grand total of 78 000 forces in the Indian Coalition, in addition to tens of thousands of native irregulars. Meanwhile, Raisal Ven had raised close to 220 000 forces, of whom half were patriotic militia and the rest were regulars. The Russian Empire and the Prussians had sent modern arms to India, and the elite forces of the Revolutionary Army were being outfitted with modern artillery and Dreyse Guns as well. He called upon his closest allies for a final offensive.The Maratha leader, Venu Darekar, was assigned 60 000 forces, raising the Sena-e-Bombay. The Bengali intellectual, Satendra Roy, was assigned 60 000 forces as well, raising the Sena-e-Bengal. Finally, Raisal Ven himself took control of 40 000 men from the Punjab, comprising one of the fiercest fighting units who still had experience from the Anglo-Sikh wars, forming the Fauj-e-Punjab.The Grand Coalition and the Sena-e-Hindostan squared off on the borders for a calm few months, until the beginning of the final offensive…On 12 December, 1860, the Fauj-e-Punjab invaded the Sindh-Bombay, utterly crashing through the forces of the Franco-British. 20 000 soldiers entered the Sindh first, driving on deep into the province towards Karachi. Thousands of soldiers from the Grand Coalition fought their hardest, but were overcome by the sheer strength and numbers of the Muslim soldiers of the Fauj-e-Punjab, who fought with intense religious and nationalist fervour. By 4 January, 1860, Raisal Ven was at the gates of Karachi with his remaining 8000 men, with 4000 enemy soldiers starving inside the city. Meanwhile, the other 10 000 predominantly Sikh soldiers, mainly veterans of the Anglo-Sikh Wars, invaded North Bombay a week later, once Raisal Ven arrived.The soldiers cut across the Rann of Kutch, towards Rajkot, whilst Venu Darekar sent a few thousand of his men towards Vadodara, surrounding the region of Surat. The Sikh soldiers had been trained according to French standards and had experiencing fighting against and with the British, and as such mercilessly advanced upon Junagadh, eventually reaching Somnath. The Kathiawar Peninsula, after an immense number of deaths, was finally taken, and revolutionaries in Surat overthrew the British garrison, and completed the takeover of Sindh-Bombay. Raisal Ven was said to have killed at least 200 men himself with his beloved Dreyse gun. Of the original 30 000 troops of the Fauj-e-Punjab, only 12 000 still remained alive, many of whom went south to join the other Armies.General Darekar of the Sena-e-Bombay invaded the western portion of Madras on 18 February.Not much resistence was encountered until Cochin/Kochi was reached. Over there, a predominately French force held out against the forces of Darekar, who was also being bombarded by French warships. At the opportune moment, Russian ships arrived, eager to avenge Crimea, and the French ships quickly picked up their comrade in Cochin and dashed away from the bellicose Russians. The Russian ships continued to support Darekar’s dash down Madras, and Travancore in the very south of the Presidency fell after a particularly bloody battle which saw the utter destruction of half of the Coalition forces. The other half fled for East Madras. Darekar and Raisal Ven prepared in the South, ready to invade the last remaining vestige of Europe on the subcontinent.With a newly raised host of reinforcements thanks to the efforts of religious leaders across India, who declared Holy Wars against the Coalition, Ven’s Grand Army swelled to number 150 000, compared to the 30 000 Coalition forces. They quickly all retreated into Madras to wait out for a month, anticipating the arrival of Franco-British forces numbering 50 000 very soon. Ven pounced at the opportunity. He ordered all his commanders to mass forces around Madras, and, to the shock of the Madras Defense, started bombarding the city with his secretly-acquired Prussian Artillery, which was gifted by Otto von Bismarck to the Revolutionaries. Over the next month, Franco-British forces decreased in number due to disease, starvation, and bombardment. Finally, on March 26, 1860, over a hundred thousand men, led by Ven himself, stormed Madras, fighting street to street. The large British fort still flew the Union Jack. He and his men walked across the street. He saw a Redcoat take aim at him, and quickly shot him with his revolver. Three French soldiers ran at him with their bayonets; Ven’s men shot two, and Ven clubbed the last one with his rifle and shot him too. Within an hour, the fort was captured, the last remaining Franco-British forces surrendered, and Ven, in front of countless artists and dignitaries, raised the new Indian flag upon the fortress:With close to 20 000 British men still rotting in the prisons of Delhi, many of whom were powerful men back in Britain, Raisal Ven met with British diplomats in Athens, where it was decided that the prisoners shall be swapped in return for Ceylon, 10 modern warships, and 50 000 modern Lee Enfield rifles. Within weeks, the Indian Republic was declared in Delhi in front of roaring masses, with elections being held across India. While flawed due to incomplete voter turnout, the result was near unanimous in favour of Raisal Ven as President, and Raisal Ven selected his former General, User-11207606550574183728, as his Vice-President. Soon enough, a fully American style political system was set up, except with a unicameral legislature. 4 Senators are selected per province, for a total of 40 Senators in the Grand Senate in Delhi, the new capital. Diplomats were sent to major European nations to establish relations, and an uneasy peace with Britain was reached, and a full alliance was made between France and India. Taking advantage of the patriotic fervour across India, Raisal Ven issued a corvee, starting multiple projects across the nation and encouraging free labour to improve the nation. Delhi, for the most part, was bulldozed, and wide streets were build with intricate and beautiful buildings built on the side, leading up to the centre of this new city, which was the Grand Senate, build to look like this:Telegraph lines were build all across the nation in addition to roads. Dozens of new railroads were build across the nation, with technical aid from Prussia. Thousands of schools were built in a nation with 2% literacy, with the biggest focus being on how to read. Equality was enforced by law, and it was a common sight to see soldiers bursting through doors armed with guns to prevent forced marriages. This was especially pronounced in the Punjab region, where Akalis, in the name of the Sikh faith, often enforced the Constitution of India, which was almost entirely based upon the US constitution. By 1870, India’s literacy had risen to 20% thanks to the forced education of nearly everyone. Railroads connected nearly every major city, and industrialization was taking place across the nation. Thanks to the good logistical network, the vast coal resources of Eastern India were transported to the Western parts, where steel was constantly being produced in massive factories. Land reforms had resulted in a more productive distribution of land, and a free-market oriented system had resulted in great prosperity. Raisal Ven made sure that the army was constantly modernized, and great relations were built with almost every European nation. Meanwhile, a very special relationship was cultivated with the USA, with the two becoming the closest of allies. Raisal Ven also cultivated a very good relationship with Meiji-era Japan, creating a relationship that would last for decades. By 1900, the Republic had matured, and was one of the largest economies in the world, held together by its Constitution, despite the still-present tribalism. The Iron Fist of the State had managed to stamp out most of the vestiges of the caste system, resulting in a united nation. Literacy was at 70% due to near universal education of the youth and the old dying out. The population seemingly stabilized at around 250 million due to the education of women, who were now even ahead of their counterparts in the West due to universal suffrage and the males of the generation being educated in a liberal fashion. Bombay and Calcutta were quickly catching up to cities such as New York in economic clout due to the sheer size of the nation. In 1905, after the Russian defeat in the Russo-Japanese War, Raisal Ven declared war on the Russian Empire, nearly annexing Central Asia, but letting the Russians keep it in return for governmental reform. In 1914, with the outbreak of war in Europe, India stayed neutral, selling immense amounts of arms and armament to both sides, earning enough to move up the production chain. Cities in the interior, like Lucknow, Lahore, Jullundur, and Patna, quickly became manufacturing hubs, pumping out airplanes and cars. With the declaration of the USSR, India helped the nation set up its industry, with Raisal Ven planning on becoming major creditor to the nation. By 1935, the skylines of Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay were starting to look like New York. During World War One, Indian forces were sent en masse to China to defeat the Japanese, and a fortune was earned by selling war equipment. During the wars of decolonization, India helped fight British troops in East Africa and South East Asia under President Ven, setting up states very closely allied with India in the region, in addition to becoming very good allies of the US and China. By 1970, India was, thanks to its massive industry, practically a first world nation, and President Ven stepped down from power, letting the mature Republic continue to traditions.

I grew up in a small, Christian conservative town in the mid-west. I lived a very sheltered life up until about high-school (and middle school when I was introduced to the horror of curse words) and as such, I felt very shocked by many of the changes happening around me. It was overwhelming!My backgroundAnd for context, you must understand that I was, by all means, a good Christian girl. I wore a purity ring, I didn’t curse, I never lied to my parents, and followed rules to a T. I knew since a fairly young age I wanted to follow in my dad’s footsteps and go into a career in criminal justice, so I was a very firm by the rule player. I did not drink or do drugs, I did not do anything that I felt could hurt my chances of going into the career I wanted. I hung out around good friends and wore a cross necklace. I became a police Explorer and spent every Thursday evening going on ride-alongs with police officers and learning things like how to perform CPR, traffic stops and the law. I was also an avid writer and spent much of my free time writing books for fun or reading. I won numerous writing awards in high school and was published by the age of 13. With hobbies like FBLA, the police Explorers and writing club I didn’t pay much attention to what was happening in the rest of the world. I was very zeroed in on me.This meant on social and political issues, I was pretty ignorant and tended to accept the views of those around me.And boy was I unprepared for this whole “gay” thing. I’m not lying when I say that up until high school I honestly hadn’t been very aware that gay people existed. The idea of not following the established tradition hadn’t really entered my mind. Granted, dating at all was just starting to become something interesting rather than gross so it wasn’t altogether shocking that someone who is just starting to consider dating wasn’t completely familiar with the many variations in dating there could be. But I was appalled and mortified if I saw two gay people kiss. It was like a scandal playing out before my little virgin eyes.And when I was in high school gay rights were a big topic. I primarily felt I should stay out of it because it didn’t affect me. I felt this way about a lot of hot topics, like abortion and the war in Iraq and stem-cell research. I could ignore it, so that’s what I wanted to do. I’ve since learned that having privilege allows one to ignore issues that have a serious impact on the lives of other people. But at the time, “staying in my lane” and not getting involved in the problems affecting others was an easy and tantalizing option.This was not my hometown church though I’ve seen it in person.  Photo by David Besh from Pexels The GoodThis wasn’t all a bad thing. I had a really wonderful upbringing. Both my parents are happily married with master’s degrees and are loving parents. I got to live on acres of land while being a mere ten-minute drive from one of the best high schools in my state. I live in an absolutely beautiful state, with natural wildlife and a mountain view out of my kitchen window but also I was just a mere fifteen-minute drive outside of town. We have well-paved roads, tons of places to shop and eat, a good education system, an upper-middle-class economy and we’re not a far drive from a ton of beautiful tourist destinations. Our town was ranked one of the best places to live in the nation and we’re known for having a home-town feel despite having the benefits of many cities. I was able to pursue so many different opportunities educationally and as hobbies. I was and am very privileged but I can’t apologize for that. It wasn’t bad being a small-town Christian girl. Not by any stretch of the imagination.This was not an uncommon view where I grew up. Photo by Sean M. from Pexels. My MindsetIn many ways, I was the embodiment of what many conservatives claim they want people (and especially women) to be. I was chaste, religiously devoted and followed the rule of law to the letter. I prioritized my education over partying, went to church on Sundays and was very feminine. I wanted to go into a field that is always in-demand and wanted to get a good job. I did community service locally and was rather committed to the traditional view of marriage. I was responsible and did chores and cleaning efficiently like a good little home-maker. I even bought into some of the toxic behaviors around me, like slut-shaming people who had sex and really looking down on people who made bad decisions.For example, I would see liberals saying things like we need to focus on sexual education and birth control because teens will have sex and get pregnant regardless of what we teach them.But in response, I would think That’s not true. I wear a purity ring and abstain from sex, it is a choice that is within your control. I am not out getting pregnant, why do they act like this is inevitable? Why are they trying to erase people like me?So in a way, the “reward” for me being chaste was of course that I would avoid pregnancy and STDs. People who got pregnant in high school and who caught STDs brought it on themselves with their bad behavior. It wasn’t my problem so why should I care about providing them with birth control and education when they could have just been more like me?And of course, when liberals talked about people turning to drugs to cope with their mental illness, or the effect of living in bad neighborhoods I would think the same type of way. I don’t do drugs, I follow the law. It isn’t that hard, why do they act like drug use is inevitable? It’s their own dumb decision making that leads to their problems.That was a large part of my pattern of thinking. If I (the picture of privilege) didn’t do certain things then everyone could just be like me and I shouldn’t have to care about their problems. Who needs sex education or drug rehabilitation or crime intervention when clearly I can pull it off and so can they. You can just not have sex and not do drugs and not commit crimes.And so when people would say that underage drinking was normal and having sex as a teenager was normal and healthy and that certain petty crimes did not deserve jail I really pushed against that. It’s a choice, it’s a choice, it’s a choice. Why should those people be shielded from the consequences of their bad decisions when someone like me was smart enough to abstain from them? Of course, I should be better off than those people.The RealizationDespite living a life that I really thought was pretty above reproach, I of course came to the realization that when dealing with Christian conservatives, nothing I could ever do was going to be enough for them. Despite wearing a purity ring and committing to abstinence, I was still open to be slut-shamed and derided by grown men on the internet for the way I dressed. If something I wore was not modest enough I was a slut, a whore, a harlot who deserved heaps of scorn and correction.And of course, who was I to have such lofty goals of a career in a male-dominated profession? I was informed by boys I went to school with and by the shouting of those on the internet that I, a woman, would never make it in the criminal justice field. In fact, women shouldn’t be allowed in it at all, given our inferior strength and size. We are unable to protect others. Our voices are too shrill and obnoxious and what has a female officer ever done that was useful in the ranks of the police? I’m a joke, my dreams worthy of derision. Give up now, you will never make it.My greatest offense, however, the one the cements me as the true enemy of God and mankind was my desire to be child-free. I have been told in direct terms that I have committed a great moral sin. I will deprive my husband of happiness and joy and he will resent me for the rest of my life for this affront. I go against nature, I am immoral, I am a bane to my husband.This was to be my legacy as a child-free woman in Christian America. A slut, a useless woman and an unnatural abomination.I was not to be loved by God, not to be loved even by my husband, I was not to be praised for my celibacy or my forward-thinking career goals. Christian conservatives do NOT love and revere women. Do not fall prey to their posturings. (This does not mean that no Christian republican men love women, I am speaking of the stereotypical, loudest “Christian conservatives” that dominate the extremes).And once more my eyes began to open to the reality that not even many of these God-fearing Christians lived a life as above reproach as I. Many “abstinence-only” educators had premarital sex themselves before they became “born-again” and then assumed the pulpit and the stick with which to beat down others who made the same decisions as them.And though I too, at 16, was guilty of slut-shaming people behind their back, I was appalled to learn some of the teachings and messages by these supposed “educators”. The sexism and misogyny that infects their discourse, their focus on heavily slut-shaming girls while hand-waving away men who do not abstain. The purity balls, the guilt that they wished upon the sexually active and the lack of compassion and forgiveness that I was taught dominated Christ’s teachings. What was this hatefulness, this sexism and scorn that these supposed Christian conservatives were teaching our youth?God's love, according to Christian Conservatives  ExposureWhen my best friend came out as gay, it became much more difficult to deny that marriage equality was a right that should be afforded to everyone. And when people I knew smoked weed and still managed to function as human beings without becoming out of control low lives or violent criminals, the fears that I had been taught to internalize began to recede. What was so bad if marijuana was legalized and taxed? How was anyone harmed by gay marriage being legal?And when it became apparent that it seemed like everyone around me, including some of my friends, were having sex and yet did not transform into fundamentally different people, I had to concede that maybe someone who lived like me was in a minority of people. Maybe I wasn’t the measuring stick of how other people lived their lives. And even if I were, there were still so many people out there who still felt that I was not good enough.For everyone worse than me, I was worse than someone else. If we continued to perpetuate this cycle of only giving empathy to those above reproach, would Jesus Himself even be above reproach in the eyes of the hateful and unempathetic?The ResultBy my senior year of high school, I cast my vote to legalize marijuana in our state, which was an economic success. I did not buy into the silly “gateway drug” argument because I could see plainly from the research and from those around me that experimenting with weed and alcohol did not lead to people becoming homeless meth heads.I started to favor a rehabilitative approach to many crimes, including drug crimes and I became skeptical of the war on drugs both for its effectiveness and its lack of compassion.My best friend and I joined our AP politics class, where we were two of three non-conservatives. My best friend and I were centrists and our other friend was a proud liberal. We stood against the rest of our classmates on various social issues, including marriage equality.When it came time to debate marriage equality, I found myself debating a team of conservative Christians who were almost in giggles about the idea of gay marriage, and a group of teammates that, though they were assigned to argue for marriage equality, were open about their personal stance against it and the obviousness that it would never pass.I allowed the opposition to speak, allowed my teammates to immediately concede, and then presented my argument, that the elastic clause permitted the federal government of the United States of America to pass federal legalization of marriage equality should they determine it was necessary and proper, likely under the equal rights clause of the Constitution.What followed was a period of utter and complete silence as everyone in the debate and the entire classroom flipped through notes, shook their heads and remained dumbfounded. The teacher prompted anyone to refute me and after a few minutes of stunned silence awarded me the debate. It is still one of my proudest moments.And of course, I was happily cheering when equal rights were finally granted to gay American citizens by the Supreme Court.I went on to learn that the majority of Americans lose their virginity at the age of 16 and that this has remained consistent since the age of the Baby Boomers. I came to learn that the rate of premarital sex has remained the same since the 1940s. People around me were not sluts and whores, and if anything Millennials are having less sex than previous generations. And even if they were “sluts”, the crime of enjoying good sex is not one that deserves the gendered shame and the “punishment” of unplanned pregnancy, STDs and cancer that these abstinence-only educators use to scare people away from sex.I stopped slut-shaming and started to become a huge advocate against purity culture and the harms that it causes to young people and young women. I now favor comprehensive sexual education and easy access to female birth control.Did I Change?None of this is because I stopped abstaining, or because I did drugs or committed crimes. It’s because I realized that I am not representative of the American population and people don’t have to be like me in order to be extended compassion, empathy and second-chances. I don’t want young women to grow up believing that all that matters about them is their virginity. I don’t want to grow up in a world where 50-year-old men are telling teenagers like I was, that they are sluts because they wore a tank top. I don’t want to live in a world where people go to jail longer for possessing weed than for raping someone. And I don’t want to live in a world where rape victims are slut-shamed on the stands.I want to live in a world where everyone in the United States, including gay people, have equal rights. I want to live in a world where justice is applied evenly and fairly and not based on race. I want to live in a world where girls think they can achieve their dreams and control their reproductive choices like having or not having children.And I want to see the version of Christianity that I was taught to love and believe in, become what we see in the mainstream. I don’t want Christians to be represented by purity balls, by abstinence-only education and homophobia. I want to see my faith represented by extending compassion and forgiveness to sinners rather than judgment and scorn. I want to see Christianity represented by extending aid to the poor instead of lectures to pull themselves up by the bootstraps. I want to see Christianity represented by compassion, by acting as stewards over the environment instead of tyrants over it. I want to see Christianity represented by the shunning of material wealth instead of by corporate greed. I want to see Christianity represented by those who live true to its calling and not rich, adulterous, egomaniacs like President Trump.That is why I am a liberal Christian and a political centrist, not a Christian conservative and not the small-town republican girl who avoids issues that don’t directly impact her.

Lord Oswald Mosley of Ancoats, was a hereditary “Peer” who had a seat inside the English Parliament in the 1920s.Losing first his seat as a Tory (Conservative) MP, he then contested another seat, but this time he joined the parliamentary Labour Left wing Party. He failed again. Next, he formed “The New Party”. This was the early name for the BUF in England. Clearly, Mosley’s Political failure to use mainstream politics, caused him to finaly form a political party of his own.He became the anointed Leader of the “BUF’s” or the “British Union of Fascists” to give it its full name in English.After his failure to be elected in 1931, Mosley went on a study tour of the "new movements" of Italy's Military Fascist Dictator “Il Duce” Benito Mussolini. and other fascists, and returned convinced that it was the way forward for Britain.Oswald Mosley was deeply unpopular in Britan, reasonably so. He was surrounded by a Korps of “Goons” wearing Black Nazi-style shirts, which he used to suppress and put down public anger and ante fascist demonstrations, which frequently disrupted his English Fascist BUF or “New Party” Meetings.Mosley had found problems with disruption of New Party meetings, and instituted a corps of black-uniformed paramilitary stewards, the Fascist Defence Force, nicknamed the “blackshirts” (after Mussolini's crack attack Fascist regiment of troops in Italy). The party was frequently involved in violent confrontations, particularly with Communist and Jewish groups and especially in London.Picture. Oswald Mosley, Lord of Ancoats, at an English Nazi Party BUF Rally in the 1930s. His followers openly exchanged the “Hitler Salut” on the English streets and were highly inflammatory in their behaviour towards the English >Jewish community, which caused serious trouble in England during the thirties.At a large Mosley rally at Olympia on 7 June 1934, his bodyguards' violence caused bad publicity.This and the infamous “Night of the Long Knives” when Hitler murdered Rhom and the SD, and instituted Ante Jewish violent Pograms, in Germany led to the loss of most of the BUF's mass support. Nevertheless, Mosley continued espousing anti-Semitism. At one of his New Party meetings in Leicester in April 1935, he stated, "For the first time I openly and publicly challenge the Jewish interests of this country, commanding commerce, commanding the Press, commanding the cinema, dominating the City of London, killing industry with their sweat-shops. These great interests are not intimidating, and will not intimidate, the Fascist movement of the modern age."The BUF distributed pamphlets and newspapers.The party was unable to fight the 1935 English Political general Election.In October 1936, Mosley and the BUF attempted to march through an area with a high proportion of Jewish residents, and violence resulted between local and nationally organized protesters trying to block the march and police trying to force it through since called the battle of Cable Street. At length SirPhillip game the Police Chief Commissioner disallowed the march from going ahead and the BUF abandoned it.Mosley continued to organize marches policed by the Blackshirts, and the government was sufficiently concerned to pass the English Public Order Act 1936, which, amongst other things, banned political uniforms and quasi-military style organizations and came into effect on 1 January 1937. In the London County Council elections in 1937, the BUF stood in three wards in East London (some former New Party seats), its strongest areas, polling up to a quarter of the vote. Mosley made most of the Blackshirt employees redundant, some of whom then defected from the party with William Joyce.Case Study Feature The British Fascist Nazi traitor William Joyce (Lord Haw Haw”.His infamous broadcasts always began with “Germany calling, Germany calling, …..Germany calling.Although listening to his broadcasts was officially discouraged (but not illegal), many Britons heard the broadcasts. At the height of his influence, in 1940, Joyce had an estimated six million regular and 18 million occasional listeners in the United Kingdom.". These broadcasts urged the British people to surrender and were well known for their jeering, sarcastic and menacing tone. There was also a desire by civilian listeners to hear what the other side was saying since information during wartime was strictly censored.J Joyce's broadcasts initially came from studios in Berlin, later transferring (because of heavy Allied bombing) to Luxembourg and finally to Apen near Hamburg, and were relayed over a network of German-controlled radio stations that included Hamburg, Bremen, LuxembourgHilversum, Calais, Oslo, and Zeesen. Joyce also broadcast on and wrote scripts for, the German Büro Concordia organization, which ran several black propaganda radio broadcasting stations, stations, many of which pretended to broadcast illegally from within Britain. However, rather disturbingly, it did appear that Joyce was being constantly, and rather “too well” informed very accurately all about events in Britain.Joyce got his detailed “information” from British Nazi sympathizers, and fifth columnists and traitors living inside England during the war, who also collaborated with Admiral Canaris's ABWHER nazi Agents who had been operating inside Britain since the 1930s. .William Brooke Joyce was a Fascist pro-Nazi fifth Columnist and Traitor, who collaborated with Adolf Hitler, and went to Germany. From Berlin he sent harmful, mocking, laughing bad news and deceptive, fake news propaganda radio “news” from the German side, designed to break public Moral in Britain.William Brooke Joyce (24 April 1906 – 3 January 1946), nicknamed Lord Haw-Haw, was an American-born, Anglo-Irish Fascist politician and Nazi seditionist type Propaganda, broadcaster to the United Kingdom, during world war two, He took German citizenship in 1940. He was convicted of one count of high treason (for which under British law the penalty remains death), in 1945 and sentenced to death. The Court of Appeal and the House of Lords upheld his conviction. He was sent to Wandsworth prison, and then hanged by Mr. Pierre Point, (the Queen's legal Executioner in England, that family held this official post exclusively in Britain for several generations of years), on 3 January 1946, making him the last person to be executed for treason in the United Kingdom.Joyce and Oswald Mosley were trying to subvert the English Population, into surrendering and accepting Nazi German rule. They were dangerous seditionists, and strongly Racist, especially Anti-Jewish, and they constantly went “looking for trouble” by threatening the Jewish communities living in England.Joyce was going to be arrested by the English Authorities, but appears to have actually been forewarned, and tipped off, by MI5 Officer and Spy Master Mr. Maxwell Knight, who had been electronically eavesdropping on Mosley and Joyce for some time. This enabled the traitor Joyce to escape to Germany.Maxwell Knight was at the same time also spying on the English Communists.Mosley continued to organize marches policed by the Blackshirts, and the government was sufficiently concerned to pass the Public Order Act 1936, which, amongst other things, banned political uniforms and quasi-military style organizations and came into effect on 1 January 1937. In the London county council elections in 1937, the BUF stood in three wards in East London (some former New Party seats), its strongest areas, polling up to a quarter of the vote. Mosley made most of the Blackshirt employees redundant, some of whom then defected from the party with William Joyce As the European situation moved towards war, the BUF began to nominate Parliamentary by-election candidates and launched campaigns on the theme of Mind Britain's Business. Mosley remained popular as late as summer 1939. His Britain First rally at the Earls Court Exhibition Hall on 16 July 1939 was the biggest indoor political rally in British history.Mosleys Movement was most dangerous potentially for English wartime security and was highly embarrassing to many English people. It was being watched and shadowed by MI5. But strangely, it was one of the MI5 spymasters who actually warned William Joyce, letting him actually escape and reach Germany. And there is another most curious story, surrounding MI 5 operatives who tricked a Nazi sympathizer from Australia, into thinking, wrongly, she was a german ABWHER spy. The methods used by MI5 are most “unorthodox”.ON November 17, 1942, two young women walked into an apartment in London’s East End. They were there to chat with a man called Jack King who claimed to be a Gestapo agent. Over a cup of tea, the women blithely discussed ways they could help the Nazis defeat the British.One of the women was Marita Perigoe, a fascist convert and daughter of famous Australian songwriter May Brahe. Perigoe’s usual trade was restoring artworks, but with little call for that during the war, she had taken a secretarial job. Now she was looking to moonlight as a Nazi spy.Women BUF Blackshirts from Oswald Mosley's English pro-Nazi Party.She didn’t trust men to do the spying. “The male population of this country is more or less dead,” she said. “They’re no use whatsoever. You could exterminate the lot and find it would be a better world. They’ve got the guts of lice, and they’re absolute without brain or reasoning power.”Little did she realize the man she was talking to was not King. Instead, he was MI5 operative Eric Roberts, who was recording their conversation. Roberts had recruited Perigoe to make sure that she didn’t pass secrets to the NazisUnbeknownst to Mosley, the British security service and Special Branch had deeply penetrated the BUF and were also monitoring him through listening devices. Beginning in 1934, they were increasingly worried that Mosley's noted oratory skills would convince the public to provide financial support to the BUF, enabling it to challenge the political establishment.Which in lay man's terms, meant bringing to power a Fascist >>Government in England, that would have sold the entire country “out” to Adolf Hitler and the German National Socialist Party, without a shot being fired.His agitation was officially tolerated until the events of the Battle of France in May 1940 made him too dangerous. Mosley, who at that time was focused on pleading for the British to accept Hitler's peace offer of March, was detained on 23 May 1940, less than a fortnight after Winston Churchill became Prime Minister.Mosley was interrogated for 16 hours by Lord Birkett.Oswald Mosley however, was never formally charged with a crime, instead of being interned underDefence Regulation 18 b.This Regulation was originally brought onto the statute books, to cover Aircraft Movements. The Defence Regulations existed in draft form, constantly revised, throughout the years between the world wars. In early 1939 it was decided that since war might break out without warning or without time to pass an act of Parliament to bring in emergency regulations, the Regulations should be split into two codes. Code A would be needed immediately if war broke out and could be passed in peacetime, while Code B, containing more severe restrictions on civil liberties, would be brought in later. In order not to alert the public to the existence of Code B, Code A was simply numbered consecutively.The British Nazi “New party” under Oswald Mosley carried this banner through the English streets and was a highly dangerous, seditionist, front organization for German Nazi sympathizers.In fact, the runaway Nazi who married into the authors family after the war was understood to have briefly been “interned” during the 1930s in Britain under article 18 b when, as part of a delegation from Dutch-German nazi Organisations, he visited and supported one of Mosley's Rallys in Britain.Below. The Dutch Nazi party cap and badge.The “Herr Doctor” who was once a German Nazi from Holland, was detained in Britan under regulation 18b for his encouragement of activities and behaviours likely to cause danger to the peace of Great Britain. There were strong links and associations between Dutch Nazi imagery, and Tibetan “Buddhism”. The Herr Doctor went on after the war, to secretly found a Nazi “Cult” inside the English Academic establishment in Cambridge and also Glastonbury in Somerset.He organized “Buddhist style” groups who embraced Nazi Philosophies and continued his Nazi “work” in England and Europe and America.During the 1930s the Dutchman who joined the Waffen-SS was “encouraged” in his activities and Nazi ideas by the youth leader of the Dutch NSB. Cornelis Van Geelkerken.Below Van Geelkirken.Above. SS-Unterscharführer George Kettmann as a war correspondent in Karelia, 1943. George Kettmann was the publicist for political pamphlets and documentation and promotion of the NSB in Holland.In the years before World War II, in addition to running the company, he edited Volk en Vaderland, the national weekly of the NSB (until 1941) and wrote and published prose, poetry and essays, showing enormous energy. Over the years his relation with Anton Mussert deteriorated, as Kettmann accused Mussert of being unable to grasp the true, revolutionary nature of National Socialism. This led ultimately to his joining the Nederlandsche SS on 7 March 1942. In September 1942 Mussert expelled him from the NSB; Kettmann was considered too radical a National Socialist. He went to the eastern Europe front as a war correspondent.After the war, Kettmann fled to Belgium, where he was arrested in 1948.Back in the Netherlands, he was accused of:joining the German armed forces,aiding the enemy, National Socialism and Anti-Semitism.having written and published articles and poems glorifying National Socialism and antisemitism.He was sentenced to 10 years in prison. After his release in 1955, he refrained from any political activity. He published some volumes of poetry, in which he demonstrates not having lost his National Socialist ideology.Ideologically he evolved from Italian-style fascism (1931–1933) to a Dutch National Socialism (1933–1940), then to a German-oriented National Socialism (1940–1942) and finally to the most radical SS ideology, desiring one great Germanic empire in Europe (1942–1945). After the German defeat, he returned to his ideas of the 1933-1940 period.The “Herr Doctor” is known to have had a relationship in Holland, but it is not clear if ever he was permitted to “return there” after his involvement with Waffen SS war crimes in German prison camps. It is known he used and travelled under a false identity. He obtained his Nazi ideological experiences and psychological “tools” to set up various groups, from his NSB and SS Party involvements during the early phase of the war years during the 1930s.As the NSB became far more radical, and more embracing and practicing of the Nazi methods, this was due at least in part, to his association with Dutch NSB Fascist Member Meinoud Rost van Tonningen.Meinoud Rost van Tonningen.Many Dutch organizations chose to “dissolve” rather than become part of the Dutch Nazi Party with him.Whilst first being denied membership of the Dutch Waffen SS, because he was born in an Indian Dutch East Indies continent colony and could not furnish all of the necessary Documents as proof of his 150 years “pure Aryan blood” he was later allowed to join the lower echelons.1939 saw Rost van Tonningen establish the paramilitary organization – the Mussert guards. Many members of this organization later became members of the Nederlandsche SS Rost van Tonningen's request to be admitted as a member of the SS Westland regiment was at first denied, because he had been born in the Dutch East Indies, and was unable to obtain documents showing that his family had 150 years of "pure Aryan blood ". However, from 1943, Indos, (Dutch Eurasians ) could join the lower ranks of the Waffen SS.(Whereas those deemed to be "Native Indonesians ", with no or little European ancestry, were still not allowed.) In 1944, Rost van Tonningen again applied for membership of the SS and was admitted.He became a member of the NSB on 7 August 1936 after returning from Austria. He won a seat in parliament in the elections that year and became the leader of his parliamentary party in the DutchHouse of RepresentativesHe also became editor-in-chief of the NSB party newspaper, Het Nationale Dagblad, which he made into a vessel of his own ideas to the dismay of the NSB party leadership. Rost van Tonningen was obsessed with Germany and the Greater German Idea, while Anton Mussert the leader of the NSB, had more affinity with the idea of Fascism as carried out by Benito Mussolini in Italy.It was mainly Rost van Tonningen's influence that caused the NSB to become more openly anti-semitic; Rost van Tonningen's anti-semitism was more radical than NSB leader Anton Mussert. Because of his influence. the NSB became closer to the German Nazi Party, the NSDAP.He became a member of the NSB on 7 August 1936 after returning from Austria.

Because of his influence. the NSB became closer to the German Nazi Party, the NSDAP.In fact, during his time in East England during the late 1980s and early 1990s, the author was harassed and had a great deal of trouble made for him by one of these “Dutch Eurasians” who was working for the “Orange” Network Group of the Herr Doctor. The author has, in turn, carried out research into this particular individual and traced his origins and his “name” which hails from the Dutch East Indies, before he was in England.There have been suspicions surrounding the “Herr Doctor” and stolen Jewish Gold from North Afrika. it is interesting to “note” his association with Meinoud van Tonningen could have led to his involvement in dealing in stolen Gold to sell into German Reich marks when Van Tonningen became Finance minister in Holland during the German Nazi occupation.Nazi Fascist SS Dutch Zone Financial administratorOn 26 March 1941, Rost van Tonningen was appointed to the posts of Secretary General of theFinance Ministry and President of the Dutch National Bank, the Nederlandsche Bank. During his tenure in these functions, the Germans held the Netherlands financially responsible for the costs of the occupation of their country. The total cost of this to the Dutch society was calculated by the Dutch government after the war as being 9,488,000,000 Reichsmark. Besides this amount, an amount of 5,750,000,000 Reichsmark of loans made by the Netherlands to Germany was never repaid, so a total amount of 14,500,000,000 Reichsmark flowed to Germany. (Comparison: France 43,250,000,000 and Belgium 11,070,000,000.)On 1 April 1941, the currency barriers between the Netherlands and the Third Reich were removed, and on 1 September 1941, the last obstructions in the currency markets between the two countries were finally removed. This meant that the Germans could trade the gold of the Dutch National Bank for paper Reichsmarks.The “inheritance” destined for the “Herr Doctors” son, the believed Anointed Leader of the English and or Dutch Nazi Party is understood to have come from the “Herrr Doctors” meddling with Van Tonningen during the Nazi war years in Holland and Germany. The author has come to conclude that the Nazi “Dutch Orange” network, including especially the fake Tibetan style persons who followed the Herr Doctor in England and America, have stolen the authors houses and his own inheritance from another member of his family, who he now has unmasked as belonging to, wait for it (!!!) , the “BUF” in England, the “New Party” of Oswald Mosley. The author has his origins in France, but family “connections” also include an Uncle, who was part of the BUF in England during the war, which he has recently learnt about for the first time in his life, and finds profoundly shocking. The author, far from being remotely connected to them, chose a very different life path and belief system and clearly has been targeted by the Nazi sympathizers, who had him violently beaten up, robbed and then very nearly murdered in France in 2018.The author's long-held suspicions of the “Herr Doctor” acquiring money from stolen wartime Gold, (some stolen from the Island and Jewish Community of Djerba) and transactions of various natures between Fascists in England during the 1930s and down to recent times, perhaps as recent as October 2011, are soundly based in fact. Indeed, there appears small room for doubt, based upon his mysterious “purchase” of land and property near Newmarket and Cambridge during the 1970s, at a time when his research grants were being taken away, and policies changing in areas of “research”, and he had very “little” capital (publicaly°*.)Therefore, there was always a link between Dutch Fascist Nazi groups and Englands Oswald Mosley.Anton Mussert Dutch Fascist NSB Leader, under Arrest in 1945.Dutch NSB Armband.The “Herr Doctor began his Political and later Nazi Waffen SS Military career in Holland, as a member of the Dutch Movement the NSB. The NSB copied elements of the Italian Fascists and German Nazis. Like Mussolini's Fascists, the NSB uniforms included black shirts, and the Party adopted the Fascist salute. Since 1933 it used the salute "Hou Zee!", which, Anton Mussert said, connoted courage and referred to the glorious maritime history of the Dutch Republic. . It also began using titles like Leider for Mussert (Leader; similar to Duce, or Fuhrer), Kameraad for men (comrade) and Kameraadske ('comradess', a neologism) for women. One party slogan was "Mussert or Moscow", evoking the Fascist defence against supposed Communist subversion.Although the Party later adopted the Nazi red and black colours and the Swastika symbol, the original NSB flag used the Princes Flag A blue wolfsangel (a hooked symbol of a wolf trap) on a white disc was set against an orange field.Dutch and German Nazis cooperated together, and the Dutch Party fully embraced the Racial and Anti-Semitic viewpoints of those already in Italy and Germany. When Germany invaded Holland, they also assisted with Death trains and convoys of Jews to send to German Death camps, and there were several Nazi-style prison camps in Holland.The “Herr Doctor” spoke several European languages, and perfect >English was one of them, so he passed himself off easily as supposedly British, when in Britain at any time. He was also a master at “faking” accents.1931–40The NSB was founded in Utrecht in 1931 during a period when several Nationalist, fascist and national socialist parties were founded. The founders were Anton Mussertt, who became the party's leader, and Cornelis van Geelkerken. The party based its program on Italian fascism and German national socialism, however unlike the latter before 1936 the party was not anti-semitic and even had Jewish members. But this soon changed with greater influence coming from Nazi Germany into the Dutch branch of the movement.In 1933, after a year of building an organization, the party organized its first public meeting, a Landaag in Utrecht which was attended by 600 party militants. Here the party presented itself. After that, the party's support began to grow. In the same year, the government forbade civil servants to be members of the NSB.In the provincial elections of 1935, the party gained 8 percent of the votes and two seats in the. This result was achieved against the background of the economic hards Senate of the Great Depression. Mussert's image as a reliable politician and his pragmatism allowed him to unite the different types of fascism and contributed to the party's success. This was bolstered by the party's strong organization and its political strategy, which was not oriented towards a violent revolution but a democratic legal take over of the country. By 1936 the party had begun holding annual mass meetings near Lunteren in Gelderland, and in 1938 it built the Muur van Mussert there, a wall which was supposed to be one element in a set of buildings and monuments inspired by the Nazi Party Rally Grounds in NurembergIn 1936, under influence of Meinoud Rost Van Tonningen, the party became openly anti-semitic. Rost van Tonningen began to question Mussert's leadership with the support of the German Nazi party, raising internal divisions within the party. This led to decreased support for the party and a strong anti-fascist reaction of the political parties, trade unions and churches. In the 1937 general elections, the party gained only 4 percent of the votes and four seats in the House of Representatives, however, it increased its representation in the Senate to five seats. In parliament, the NSB MPs showed little respect for parliamentary procedures and rules. Many NSB MPs were called to order by the chairman of parliament for physical and verbal violence. In the provincial election of 1939, the party also gained 4 percent of the votes.There were strong links between his Neo-nazi organization, and the “New Age” Movement and civil agitation in England pre, during, and also, and continuingly down to our modern times, “post-war”. The false” Age of Aquarius” is all about this underneath the sweet syrupy, phoney stories which he and his Nazi wife circulated. Amongst the socially disaffected, and among former British soldiers, he found a ready source and supply of Mercenaries and hit men to strengthen his hold on society, and eliminate anybody who threatened to expose him or his followers. Many of these “British soldiers” were also in fact already contaminated by Nazism, and the symbology and dangerous, the false sense of authority it gives. Creating “designer” drugs at huge prices, which can kill or cripple their users, from secret nazi type Laboratories, is also another aspect of their work.Like Adolf Hitler, whose work he admired and desired to follow, he stole, borrowed, changed, converted and abused all sorts of imagery, Religious belief systems, and especially, pseudo-Philosophies and sacred Science, to attract rich investors, and Industrialists, and wealthy “New Age” wealthy runaway daughters, and sons, and disaffected Millionaire Lords, to his cause. His message of pseudoscientific intellect, cleverly combined with elements of Tibetan Buddhism and Religiosity, was an appealing toxic recipe for many disillusioned rich English Middle and upper-class people. In effect, he espoused and promulgated Nazism, and aspects of outwardly “Green” Philosophies which negated the personal responsibilities of the human individual, opening the way to commit terrible Nazi atrocities later.NSB Standard flags.Many Dutchmen joined the Waffen SS after their initial membership of the NSB.Holland had traditional “links” with parts of Norfolk and East Anglia and Norwich, and the author encountered and had very serious difficulties with a number of Dutch connected Nazis there during the early 1990s. There were also several very suspicious deaths which the author tried to report but instead found himself “framed” and falsely accused. The trail led back to Wales, and to the “Herr Doctor” and his secret “Orange” network of Nazi collaborators.Dutch National Socialists workers Party Swastika banner in orange.English areas and Dutch and German ones sometimes have kept “over” from the Saxon German past, certain old symbols. The County of Kent in England, and a German and a Dutch town, still share the same ancient White Horse on Red background.The presumed escape aircraft of Adolf Hitler that was seen taking off from near the Berlin Brandenberg gate , just hours before the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, also may have actually carried this as a painted symbol or badge on its fuselage.The secret dice codeThis was one of the secret codes they used, tattooed on their wrists.These dice have the numbers 1, 4 and 8 (5+3). The code 1488 is a common one in neo-Nazi circles and represents a white separatist ideology and the phrase 'Heil Hitler'To the untrained eye, these may look like a perfectly ordinary pair of dice.But the truth is that their dots hold a secret neo-Nazi code.The first die shows one and four dots - representing the number 14. The second has five and three dots - which add up to eight.Together, they form the hate code '1488'.The number 14 is used to represent 'the 14 words' slogan of white supremacy: 'We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.'The number 88 represents the phrase 'Heil Hitler,' becauseThe men and women who violently attacked the author in England and later France and who tried to trap him in Holland, are from, and “working” for this Nazi network.Of the 25,000-some Dutch who served in the Waffen-SS, one quarter to one-third was killed. Four Dutch volunteers received the Knight’s Cross.He returned to Britain and continued his work beginning sometime in the late 1940’s early 1950’s.Defence Regulation 18 concerned restrictions on the movement of aircraft. It was originally intended that Code B would be imposed by an Order in Council with retrospective indemnity being granted by an Act of Parliament should anyone dispute the actions of the authorities.Defence Regulation Number 18b.

In mid-May 1940, Mosley was nearly wounded by assault.Being viewed as a “Nazi Fifth Columnist” Mosley was arrested and imprisoned in England. Mosley was imprisoned in May 1940 and the BUF was banned. He was released in 1943 and, politically disgraced by his association with fascism, moved abroad in 1951, spending the majority of the remainder of his life in France in Paris.. He stood for Parliament twice in the postwar era, achieving very little support.Oswald Mosley was a controversial figure and deeply unpopular for reasons which should be transparently clear from his seditionist Nazi front activities.The author of this “answer” was himself a victim of one of the 1930’s Nazi followers, who joined his family after the war, and categorically despises hates and does not support or share any of these Nazi groups or any similar type of groups views or associations.
