Hysteria
HYSTERIA: The Precursor
Anti-German Hysteria
“The seeds of World War One and Two were not nurtured amid lofty principles of liberty, religious freedom or from a need to topple cruel despots. It was a conflict conceived in smoke-filled board rooms, political offices, stock exchanges and banks on both sides of the Atlantic and carried to term by various parties who stood to gain politically or financially.
Birthed into the waiting arms of jealousy, politics and greed, it was a banal, vile creation, an artificially inseminated monster that maimed and murdered a generation of young men and laid a direct pathway to another war.
To achieve this goal, motivations and villains had to be artificially crafted [propagandized].
What ensued was the largest ethnic assault in human history.”

Schurz: Plea for Amnesty 1872
Before They Sprouted Horns — “The German people in our modern media have been alternately portrayed as silly, clumsy, beer-
bellied fools or mad scientists and evil warlords. They vie with Arabs for first place as the Saturday
cartoon version of the arch enemy of mankind.. their "guttural" accent alone enough to trigger fear
and loathing. This conditioning started long before the National Socialists [Nazis], however. It began almost a
century ago and only took a few months to engineer. It is difficult to believe that there was actually a
time when the German popular image was not only otherwise, but completely the opposite. It was
very good and very old, going back, as we have seen, to the American Revolution.”
