Kaiser William was evidently quite aware what the assassination in Sarajevo meant. His comment was that Edward (the late King Edward VII of England) had at last succeeded. So the Kaiser knew what all the maneuvering of the previous decades had been about. He commented that "he" (Edward) was "stronger in death" than he himself (the Kaiser) was who was still alive. Kaiser Wilhelm, who was not known as a man of great intellect, still understood that the conspiracy that Edward had set in motion throughout the decades before, had pitted the nations of Europe against each other, and that the conspirators had now lit the fuse. The great crash of civilization was about to begin.
The Kaiser's comment also indicates that he felt himself impotent to prevent the outcome. He knew Edward. He knew how thoroughly the stage was set. He knew that the game had crossed the point of no return. But was he right in those assumptions?
There are two major ways in which human beings fail to honor fundamental principles. One way is innocent. It results from ignorance, which may be excused, though it is ultimately preventable. The other way is through cold, calculated defiance of the fundamental principles involved, which occurs often for 'noble' goals. This type of infraction is a hard one to deal with.
Adolf Hitler's 'success' serves as an example. Hitler was well aware that his acts of genocide violated fundamental principle, for he tried to conceal the process from the public whenever practical. This means that his actions were carried out in calculated defiance of fundamental law. The budget cutters of today operate on the same platform, consciously, by their own admission. They speak about 'tough' decisions as they shut down hospitals in the name of saving money, or eliminate social support structures by which the life of many people was upheld. They understand that fundamental principles are violated by their actions, which, as thy recognize, makes the work "tough." Still, they see stronger imperatives which move them contrary to these principles, even to commit murder by degree.
Hitler had used innocently sounding phrases to 'sanitize' his murderous schemes. He used phrases like, "the final solution" to justify the elimination of millions of unwanted people, especially the Jewish people. The finance ministers of today have their sanitizing phrases, too, with which they define their actions while they chop the life-support of people below the minimal requirement for physical existence, for the poorest of the people, and the elderly, and the sick. They talk about "tough" decisions which they understand violate the most fundamental principle of civilization, but they carry out their "tough" decisions as "necessary budget measures."
What conspiracy guides people into the conduct of policies which they know must result in the wrongful death of targeted groups of the population?
The oligarchy is certainly not exempt from this process that motivated Hitler. It is very much involved in the conduct of policies that are understood to be contrary to the fundamental principles of moral existence. The late Bertrand Russell, who was one of the chief advocates of the dramatic population reduction scheme admits openly that the measures he proposed are "disgusting," to which he added, "even if they are necessary."
Whoever decides to intentionally violate fundamental principles, will always find an excuse for his doing, whether he be a petty thief who steals a dollar for a meal, or the budget-axe man of the IMF who murders with the stroke of a pen, or the most noble oligarch who orders the death of four billion people to rescue the dying Empire. The process is the same in every case, and it will always be carried out once the decision has been made that a 'higher cause' requires the violation of principle.
