Lies being taught;
Mein Kampf is unintelligible ravings of a

Now the Truth; Read and know. CHAPTER XIa Race and People.
“There are certain truths which stand out so
openly on the roadsides of life, as it were, that every passer-by may see them.
Yet, because of their very obviousness, the general run of people disregard
such truths or at least they do not make them the object of any conscious
knowledge.
People are so blind to some of the simplest
facts in every-day life that they are highly surprised when somebody calls
attention to what everybody ought to know. Examples of The Columbus Egg lie
around us in hundreds of thousands; but observers like Columbus are rare.
Walking about in the garden of Nature, most
men have the self-conceit to think that they know everything; yet almost all
are blind to one of the outstanding principles that Nature employs in her work.
This principle may be called the inner isolation which characterizes each and
every living species on this earth.
Even a superficial glance is sufficient to
show that all the innumerable forms in which the life-urge of Nature manifests
itself are subject to a fundamental law--one may call it an iron law of
Nature--which compels the various species to keep within the definite limits of
their own life-forms when propagating and multiplying their kind. Each animal mates
only with one of its own species.
Deviations from this law take place only in
exceptional circumstances. This happens especially under the compulsion of
captivity, or when some other obstacle makes procreative intercourse impossible
between individuals of the same species. But then Nature abhors such
intercourse with all her might; and her protest is most clearly demonstrated by
the fact that the hybrid is either sterile or the fecundity of its descendants
is limited. In most cases hybrids and their progeny are denied the ordinary
powers of resistance to disease or the natural means of defence against outer
attack.
Such a dispensation of Nature is quite
logical. Every crossing between two breeds which are not quite equal results in
a product which holds an intermediate place between the levels of the two
parents. This means that the offspring will indeed be superior to the parent
which stands in the biologically lower order of being, but not so high as the
higher parent. For this reason it must eventually succumb in any struggle against
the higher species. Such mating contradicts the will of Nature towards the
selective improvements of life in general. The favourable preliminary to this
improvement is not to mate individuals of higher and lower orders of being but
rather to allow the complete triumph of the higher order. The stronger must
dominate and not mate with the weaker, which would signify the sacrifice of its
own higher nature. Only the born weakling can look upon this principle as
cruel, and if he does so it is merely because he is of a feebler nature and
narrower mind; for if such a law did not direct the process of evolution then
the higher development of organic life would not be conceivable at all.
If Nature does not wish that weaker
individuals should mate with the stronger, she wishes even less that a superior
race should intermingle with an inferior one; because in such a case all her
efforts, throughout hundreds of thousands of years, to establish an
evolutionary higher stage of being, may thus be rendered futile.
History furnishes us with innumerable
instances that prove this law. It shows, with a startling clarity, that
whenever Aryans have mingled their blood with that of an inferior race the
result has been the downfall of the people who were the standard-bearers of a
higher culture. In North America, where the population is prevalently Teutonic,
and where those elements intermingled with the inferior race only to a very
small degree, we have a quality of mankind and a civilization which are different
from those of Central and South America. In these latter countries the
immigrants--who mainly belonged to the Latin races—mated with the aborigines,
sometimes to a very large extent indeed. In this case we have a clear and
decisive example of the effect produced by the mixture of races. But in North
America the Teutonic element, which has kept its racial stock pure and did not
mix it with any other racial stock, has come to dominate the American Continent
and will remain master of it as long as that element does not fall a victim to
the habit of adulterating its blood.
In short, the results of miscegenation are
always the following:
(a) The level of the superior race becomes
lowered;
(b) physical and mental degeneration sets in,
thus leading slowly but steadily towards a progressive drying up of the vital
sap.
Man's effort to build up something that
contradicts the iron logic of Nature brings him into conflict with those
principles to which he himself exclusively owes his own existence. By acting
against the laws of Nature he prepares the way that leads to his ruin.
Here we meet the insolent objection, which is
Jewish in its inspiration and is typical of the modern pacifist. It says:
"Man can control even Nature."
There are millions who repeat by rote that
piece of Jewish babble and end up by imagining that somehow they themselves are
the conquerors of Nature. And yet their only weapon is just a mere idea, and a
very preposterous idea into the bargain; because if one accepted it, then it would
be impossible even to imagine the existence of the world.
The real truth is that, not only has man
failed to overcome Nature in any sphere whatsoever but that at best he has
merely succeeded in getting hold of and lifting a tiny corner of the enormous
veil which she has spread over her eternal mysteries and secret. He never
creates anything. All he can do is to discover something. He does not master Nature
but has only come to be the master of those living beings who have not gained
the knowledge he has arrived at by penetrating into some of Nature's laws and
mysteries.
All that we admire in the world to-day, its
science, its art, its technical developments and discoveries, are the products
of the creative activities of a few peoples, and it may be true that their
first beginnings must be attributed to one race. The maintenance of civilization
is wholly dependent on such peoples. Should they perish, all that makes this
earth beautiful will descend with them into the grave.
However great, for example, be the influence
which the soil exerts on men, this influence will always vary according to the
race in which it produces its effect. Dearth of soil may stimulate one race to
the most strenuous efforts and highest achievement; while, for another race,
the poverty of the soil may be the cause of misery and finally of undernourishment,
with all its consequences. The internal characteristics of a people are always
the causes which determine the nature of the effect that outer circumstances
have on them. What reduces one race to starvation trains another race to harder
work.
If we divide mankind into three
categories--founders of culture, bearers of culture, and destroyers of culture--the
Aryan alone can be considered as representing the first category. It was he who
laid the groundwork and erected the walls of every great structure in human
culture. Only the shape and colour of such structures are to be attributed to
the individual characteristics of the various nations. It is the Aryan who has
furnished the great building-stones and plans for the edifices of all human
progress; only the way in which these plans have been executed is to be
attributed to the qualities of each individual race.
This short sketch of the changes that take
place among those races that are only the depositories of a culture also
furnishes a picture of the development and the activity and the disappearance
of those who are the true founders of culture on this earth, namely the Aryans
themselves.
Just as in our daily life the so-called man
of genius needs a particular occasion, and sometimes indeed a special stimulus,
to bring his genius to light, so too in the life of the peoples the race that
has genius in it needs the occasion and stimulus to bring that genius to
expression. In the monotony and routine of everyday life even persons of significance
seem just like the others and do not rise beyond the average level of their
fellow-men. But as soon as such men find themselves in a special situation
which disconcerts and unbalances the others, the humble person of apparently
common qualities reveals traits of genius, often to the amazement of those who
have hitherto known him in the small things of everyday life. That is the
reason why a prophet only seldom counts for something in his own country. War
offers an excellent occasion for observing this phenomenon. In times of
distress, when the others despair, apparently harmless boys suddenly spring up
and become heroes, full of determination, undaunted in the presence of Death and
manifesting wonderful powers of calm reflection under such circumstances. If
such an hour of trial did not come nobody would have thought that the soul of a
hero lurked in the body of that beardless youth. A special impulse is almost
always necessary to bring a man of genius into the foreground. The
sledge-hammer of Fate which strikes down the one so easily suddenly finds the
counter-impact of steel when it strikes at the other. And, after the common
shell of everyday life is broken, the core that lay hidden in it is displayed
to the eyes of an astonished world. This surrounding world then grows obstinate
and will not believe that what had seemed so like itself is really of that different
quality so suddenly displayed. This is a process which is repeated probably
every time a man of outstanding significance appears.
Though an inventor, for example, does not
establish his fame until the very day that he carries through his invention, it
would be a mistake to believe that the creative genius did not become alive in
him until that moment. From the very hour of his birth the spark of genius is
living within the man who has been endowed with the real creative faculty. True
genius is an innate quality. It can never be the result of education or training.
As I have stated already, this holds good not
merely of the individual but also of the race. Those peoples who manifest
creative abilities in certain periods of their history have always been
fundamentally creative. It belongs to their very nature, even though this fact
may escape the eyes of the superficial observer. Here also recognition from outside
is only the consequence of practical achievement. Since the rest of the world
is incapable of recognizing genius as such, it can only see the visible
manifestations of genius in the form of inventions, discoveries, buildings,
painting, etc.; but even here a long time passes before recognition is given.
Just as the individual person who has been endowed with the gift of genius, or
at least talent of a very high order, cannot bring that endowment to
realization until he comes under the urge of special circumstances, so in the
life of the nations the creative capacities and powers frequently have to wait
until certain conditions stimulate them to action.”
