Unwrapping wrappers or, as my grandmother said…

Now, you might ask what he is talking about? Or get curious and find out what my Grandma said?

What nonsense I will read below, you could think…

My grandmother was a brave woman who had a difficult life like so many people in those days. She was born at the beginning of the 20th century and lived for little more than 80 years. So, she experienced and survived two world wars, revolutions, economic hardships, etc… She lost two brothers in WWI and the last brother at the beginning of the Second World War. She married my hard-working grandfather, who stayed orphan when he was 11 years old. They had eight children. Only three survived to reach youth. One of those three, my uncle, got killed near the end of WWII in April 1945. He, as a student of the faculty of law, was fighting against Croatian Nazis in the Balkans. He was 23 years old. My grandmother’s third brother graduated law in Lyon, France. He was always promoting the idea of freedom, equal opportunity for all, compassion and humanity. . He did not want to stay there in France and went back to his hometown. He served as a clerk in the district court. He held several decorations from the First World War. The government then presented him with some 6 thousand square meters of very fertile land. He refused to take it since he already had land in his hometown. He sends a message to the government to give that land to someone in need! Once, in the 1920s, while walking in the capital city, he saw a beggar asking for money. The beggar was carrying one of the highest medals presented only to genuine heroes. He got nervous and accused that man of stealing that medal. The man angrily replied to him. He said that the medal was his. He had earned it in one of the crucial battles of WWI. Then, when he realized that the man was telling the truth, he got more angry! The government did not do anything to help that World War I hero, so he was forced to start begging! When he got back in his hometown, he went into the house and took all his, his father and brothers medals, and threw them into the outhouse toilet. My grandmother managed to save only one medal from her father and my great grand father.

In 1941 German Nazi captured his hometown. They already had his name together with another woman ready. Most probably because he kicked out the future Prime Minister from the restaurant he used to promote himself. He pushed him and kicked him in his butt saying that he should stop the lies and never come back! That person was the one who signed for the country to join the tripartite pact led by Hitler Germany. They captured him together with another woman and executed both of them. After they hanged them both at the centre of the town to send a message to the rest of the people. The nearby partisans that were called to come and rescue them ‘did not manage’ to come on time and free them. One of those became a national hero…. The brother of my grandmother did not have family. He said that his family were all those who were ready to fight for real equality and pure freedom, and he wanted those to be the whole world.

That was him

So, armed with all these details, we all in the family learned that integrity has costs but that it is one of the main purposes for existence. That greed is a personality and soul killer! I witnessed as a young boy many years ago, an event that became rotted in my soul forever. That even explained my father’s fierce opposition for me to become a member of the state security!  He said after me insisting to start helping our country:  “No! They will sell you easily, as you will never trade your integrity and your beliefs for justice! Even that Iustitia, the Lady Justice is blind!

In those days, the youth, some students representing the state, visited my grandmother. It was a tradition then to visit the family of those who gave their life fighting Nazis. They brought her some presents out of respect for her family’s sacrifice during the war….She greeted them. She served them coffee, some brandy, and some sweets. She talked with them for about an hour. After they left, I told her my impression. I was so pleased that someone came and showed respect. I will never forget her reply! She said, “My son, yes, they showed respect. They are nice and cultured young people. However, I am more and more of the opinion that it is better that the Germans killed my brother and Croats Nazi my son, and your uncle!” I, astonished what I have heard, asked her. WHY GRANDMA? She said : ‘You are surprised, my son? Well, when you grow up, you will understand how the people are! If the Nazis did not kill them, they would be executed by their comrades as they both would never accept corruption and greed of any kind! That is why you should always be aware of those who are wearing gold, medals, diamonds, etc….There is a rule that will never change, remember! And the rule from where my family comes from says: ‘Outside gold, inside shit!’ ‘Never forget that, and never sell your integrity, for anyone and anything!’

This is how we got to the title of this post!

Just please do not jump to the conclusions to judge my grandmother.

Well, to understand, you need first to recognize it. You must realize that ideologies and ruling systems like monarchy, socialism, democracy, civil society, capitalism, and others are merely wrappers. They cover a global slave civilization we live in.

Come on! But how will we live else as we learn with these “ideologies,” “systems,” etc… ?

Simple! Let’s simply be nice to one another, respect elders, take care of the new generation, and disabled… Work honestly and from the heart. Do not do bad things even for money, power, or social standing. Again, simply, we should do everything divine!

This is opposite from the other concept that says – Why should I work with you together? Why do I need it? Instead, I will reign over you as a master, and you will be my slave, my cattle.

People following the first concept have nothing to hide. Others following the second concept will never tell you the truth directly. They always need nice wrapping!

If you are one of the first, you will easily recognise the second. If you are the second, please join us in the first group. Why? Oh, because you will leave a beautiful deed behind you, apart from your children if you have any. That should be our, the majority, purpose for existence!

That is the way our civilization will survive!

Think that “THE WORLD IS WHAT WE MAKE OF IT!”

Fight all those who are learned to infiltrate all ideas and every system and dilute it as they wish. One of those who also changed the name to be more acceptable to the herd wrote this:

” We will make our hearts cruel, hard, and immovable so that no mercy will enter them and so that they will not quiver at the sight of a sea of enemy blood. We will let loose the floodgates of that sea. Without mercy, without sparing, we will kill our enemies in scores of hundreds. Let them be thousands, let them drown themselves in their own blood! … Let there be floods of blood of the bourgeois- more blood! As much as possible!” 

Could any sane human being write this? Well, it has been written by one Grigory Zinoviev, the member of the Lenin inner circle who was born as Hirsch Apfelbaum. He was the head of Communist International and wrote above words in Moscow Krasnaya Gazeta in September of 1918. He was executed later by the Lenin successor Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin ( nè) Dzhugashvili.

So, maybe now you get how serious the message  was naming of the new and world biggest Ice Breaker STALINGRAD.

Message!

Recognize who is insidiously sowing the seeds of discord.  Who is arguing with us?  Who is spreading half truths! Who vilely undermines every desire for peace. Who scares and blackmails you! Who promotes greed instead of simple LOVE!

Then, you will be able to clean your soul and progress as a human being!

Unwrap the wrap and inspect the essence!
