Knut Hamsun - The Legend Lives On
THE LEGEND
150 years ago, the world was quite a different place. There were Norwegians who lived as Norwegians, America was still America.
And then Knut Hamsun was born in Vågå. He grew up in the old Norway, on Hamarøy in Nordland, and saw how things had been.
He wrote about what he had seen and experienced, in a style that has changed the literary world forever. Today, he is generally recognized as the greatest of the Norwegian authors.
THE MAKING OF A MASTER
His early books like Sult (Hunger) and Mysterier (Mysteries) tell the story of the old Norway. Pan and Viktoria probe the deepest mysteries of romantic love. His 1908 books Benoni and Rosa reflect the cynicism of an experienced man.
In 1915, he hit his stride with the masterpiece Segelfoss By, which tells a story of love, wealth, and loss. Two years later, in 1917, Markens Grøde, considered by many to be his greatest masterwork, told the story of a pioneer breaking in new land. The admirers included the Nobel Prize committee, and they awarded Knut Hamsun the Nobel Prize for literature in 1920.
BUT LIFE GOES ON
Most people grow old, and the same thing happened with the Master. He reminisced about the free days of youth in his 1927 Landstrykere (Vagabonds). And the title of his 1933 work Men Livet lever says it all -- But the Life Lives on.
Then it was time for the ring to close, with Ringen sluttet (The Ring Closes) in 1936.
These books don't just tell the story of this master craftsman of the written word who observed life from the various vantage points of his life, no, they give an inside view of the Nordic soul.
Inspiring Nordic people with pride in their heritage and being.
BUT NOT EVERYONE IS NORDIC
Not even in Norway.
The gentleman on the right is Prins Haakon, posing with his White wife.
As Dr. Jerome Webster put it, “Nose is fairly long, has a very slight hump, is somewhat broad near the tip and the tip bends down, giving somewhat the appearance of a Jewish nose.”
And Dr. Webster knew exactly what he was talking about. The prince's nose is "fairly long". Its even "somewhat broad near the tip", which "bends down".
Not to mention that the prince is rather dark-complexioned for a king of the Norwegians.
You look at this man straight on, and you'll notice that something is a little "crooked".
As with Dominic Greene, we observe "the same sleepless brown eyes, the same fluid mouth and an attractiveness that stops short of being uncomplicatedly good-looking." I suppose to some, this man is attractive. But the "attractivenes" stops quite a bit "short of being uncomplicatedly good-looking".
Oh, he tries to fit in.
"One type of marginal Jew in America (and the same obtains in other Western countries as well) tries to "pass"; that is, he strives to assimilate to his non-Jewish environment. But this cannot be successfully accomplished because, however strenuously he tries to dress, speak, and behave like the Gentiles whose company he seeks and acceptance he craves, they will nevertheless consider him a Jew." (Raphael Patai, The Jewish Mind, Charles Scribner, 1977, p. 430) Certainly the prince has an attractive Nordic wife, he dresses as a White man, and even troubles to trim his black beard.
This certainly makes him different that those Sephardic Jews who had come to Gibralter. “Most retained traditional North African customs”. The Jewish men shaved their heads and had big beards.
Different on the outside.
And the prince is not the only Jew in Norway who struggles with feelings of "marginality, a mental state which can easily produce neurotic symptoms, one of which, as Jessie Bernard put it, is the desire "to tear down the Gentile world" as well.
"Since they could be neither Jew nor Gentile, they must destroy everything these stood for." (Patai, supra)
WHEN MARGINALITY PLAGUES NEWS AND INFORMATION MEDIA
People like the management team at the state-owned NRK broadcaster.
During the lifetime of the Master, Knut Hamsun, there had been a free press. But then, in 1933, when the Jew Johan Mowinckel was running the Norwegian government (http://www.regjeringen.no/), the freedom ended.
In the interests of “freedom of expression” (for the marginals), his government took over private broadcasting, and set up NRK (Norsk Riks Kringkasting). Sure there was a little bit of opposition, but Mowinckel just went right ahead with his plans. (Håvard Tangen og Geir Martin Pilskog, Studentar i målstrid -Den nynorske delen av folkefronten, kapittel 3 1930-1945, p. 158)
TEARING DOWN THE LITERARY MONUMENTS
What better place to start than with the literary giants, especially the one who still happened to be alive in Norway. They grabbed Hamsun, and confined him to the Gaustad sykehus for psychiatric tortures, similar to those inflicted on Ezra Pound. Which must not have worked, because they still needed to conduct a show trial. The Jews imposed a heavy fine of 325 000 crowns (back in the days when a Norwegian crown still meant something), and did their best to break this Nordic giant.
And this hero of the Nordic people was injured. The 1951 photo at left shows a tired old man.
During the life of the Master, they did everything short of crucifixion to make Hamsun miserable.
And then he passed away in 1952.
After inspiring the Nordic soul for some 90 years, the Master was gone.
JOB NOT DONE
Or so the Jews thought.
But things didn't quite work out that way. The books lived on, and are still generally available.
People read them, and the old magic still works!
THE MARGINALS SOLDIER ON
So it was time for a media smear campaign. The marginals at NRK put together a best effort that starts out like this:
"Hva var det egentlig Knut Hamsun gjorde som var så galt? Hvorfor er det så vanskelig for mange å legge bort nazisten Hamsun, og bare tenke positive tanker om forfatteren Hamsun? Hva er det av konkrete handlinger som stikker så dypt og sårt ned i den norske folkesjela?" (Pål Plassen, Hvorfor han ble hatet: Hamsuns fire dødssynder, NRK, 20 Feb 2009)
Wow! The Master was "hated"! This hit piece comes right out with the purpose in the title: "Why he was hated: Hamsun's four deadly sins".
Since Hamsun has only been loved, and never hated, by real Norwegians, we know right away that the author of the article is not a real Norwegian. Sure, Mr. Plassen can write in the language. His grammar is good. He "strives to assimilate to his non-Jewish environment. But this cannot be successfully accomplished because, however strenuously he tries to dress, speak, and behave like the Gentiles whose company he seeks and acceptance he craves, they will nevertheless consider him a Jew." (Patai, supra)
The Jewish author leads with, What did Knut Hamsun do that was so crazy?
It wasn't his books, which are masterpieces.
The marginals are having trouble laying away the man they call the Nazi Hamsun, and claim they would like to just think positive thoughts about the author Hamsun.
But Hamsun was never a Nazi.
And these boys wanting to think positive thoughts about the Master? What a lie!
They hounded him throughout his life, tortured him in the psychiatric facility, and stole his money.
But now they want to think "positively" about him. They say.
But then go on to list the big sins:
1) Hamsun thought positively about Germany,
2) during the war, he didn't think the Jewish side should win
"Det er ikke vanskelig å peke ut Hamsuns fire dødssynder. Hamsun hadde vært positiv til Tyskland gjennom alle år, og da krigen kom hoppa han ned på feil side av gjerdet, og støttet det nordmenn flest så på som fienden" (Plassen, supra)
War was on. England wanted to grab Norway, so the Germans sent some soldiers up to defend the country. Hamsun said, "Why fight against the Germans, when they're just here to help". Things went so far that Hamsun even met Josef Terboven, the German governor in Norway -- and let himself be photographed with the boss. And this is a sin?
When Hitler allegedly passed away in May, 1945, Hamsun wrote a top-notch eulogy which was published in the Norwegian paper Aftenposten.
Now you'll be thinking, that's it? Knut Hamsun had his own opinions, and expressed them.
THE LINE: A WAR FOR DEMOCRACY
The Jews helpfully explain that World War II was fought for democracy. (Fighting for Democracy: Who is the 'We' in 'We the People'? -- Special exhibit at The National WWII Museum explores the fight for freedom on the battlefront and the Home Front, The National World War II Museum, 8 Feb 2009)
REALITY: REPRESSION OF FREE THOUGHT AND SPEECH
"One of the most important and cherished features of liberal democracy is the value placed on freedom of speech and inquiry. Regimes of free speech and free inquiry inevitably lead to disagreement, not only about issues of value, but also about very important factual matters. Hence, another important feature of liberal democracy is the commitment to the toleration of disagreement, even over crucial factual matters." (The Epistemology of Liberal Democracy
—Free Speech, Disagreement and Common Belief, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, 20 - 21 Nov 2008 )
THE LIE
The case of Knut Hamsun shows that the "allies" of World War II were fighting to end democracy. Oh, they still have elections. But if the voters make the wrong decisions, sanctions, coups, and open warfare follow on.
Just one example of many: Salvador Allende "was elected as president in 1970 [and] he became the first Marxist to gain power in a free democratic election. The new government faced serious economic problems. Inflation was running at 30 per cent and over 20 per cent of the male adult population were unemployed. It was estimated that half of the children under 15 suffered from malnutrition.
Allende's decided to take action to redistribute wealth and land in Chile. Wage increases of around 40 per cent were introduced. At the same time companies were not allowed to increase prices. The copper industry was nationalized. So also were the banks. Allende also restored diplomatic relations with Cuba, China and the German Democratic Republic.
The CIA arranged for Michael V. Townley to be sent to Chile under the alias of Kenneth W. Enyart. He was accompanied by Aldo Vera Serafin [Jewish] of the Secret Army Organization (SAO). Townley now came under the control of David Atlee Phillips who had been asked to lead a special task force assigned to remove Allende.
The CIA attempted to persuade Chile's Chief of Staff General Rene Schneider, to overthrow Allende. He refused and on 22nd October, 1970, his car was ambushed. Schneider drew a gun to defend himself, and was shot point-blank several times. He was rushed to hospital, but he died three days later. Military courts in Chile found that Schneider's death was caused by two military groups, one led by Roberto Viaux and the other by Camilo Valenzuela. It was claimed that the CIA was providing support for both groups.
Allende's attempts to build a socialist society was opposed by business interests. Later, Henry Kissinger [Jewish] admitted that in September 1970, President Richard Nixon ordered him to organize a coup against Allende's government. A CIA document written just after Allende was elected said: "It is firm and continuing policy that Allende be overthrown by a coup" and "it is imperative that these actions be implemented clandestinely and securely so that the USG (United States government) and American hand be well hidden."
David Atlee Phillips set Michael V. Townley the task of organizing two paramilitary action groups Orden y Libertad (Order and Freedom) and Protecion Comunal y Soberania (Common Protection and Sovereignty). Townley also established an arson squad that started several fires in Santiago. Townley also mounted a smear campaign against General Carlos Prats, the head of the Chilean Army. Prats resigned on 21st August, 1973.
On 11th September, 1973, a military coup removed Allende's government from power. Salvador Allende died in the fighting in the presidential palace in Santiago. General Augusto Pinochet replaced Allende as president." http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/COLDallende.htm
The people of Chile elected Salvador Allende in democratic elections. The marginal Jew Dr. Henry Kissinger destroyed the democratically-elected government of Chile.
Etc.
THE END OF FREE SPEECH IN NORWAY
And freedom of speech? The marginals in Norway, as elsewhere in the world, have as much freedom of speech as they want.
But for the Nordic soul?
The marginals practice theft, psychiatric torture, and regular smears in the media.
Raphael Patai knew exactly what he was talking about: the marginals are out "to tear down the Gentile world". (Patai, supra)
Just ask Dr. Karadžić, the man who received 3 days of third-degree after his kidnapping in
Belgrade.
THE MASTER SAW IT ALL
Knut Hamsun's long and productive life spanned the transition from freedom to slavery. His experience was first-hand.
The reader who studies Hamsun's work from start to finish will learn what has been lost.
And that's why the marginals hate him.
MAY HIS LIGHT SHINE FOREVER
His life and message haven't lost one bit of their power!
For of such is the Kingdom of God.
