The New School Nazis: It's Your Actions that Define You

The New School Nazis

Making “Complicated” Simple 2

The New School Nazis are openly bigoted — and they take every opportunity to promote their beliefs — just turn on the television.

Pick a show, say, “Secrets in the Ice”

S1 E1: Revenge of the Zombie Killer — In a segment featuring the discovery of a “30,000 year old virus [Mollivirus Sibericum] lying in a state of dormancy” – the dangers of a newly appearing virus are presented:

“When smallpox first arrived in the Americas, it annihilated indigenous populations” — “The pain and suffering it caused was indescribable.” [With photos of children in extremis used for effect] “Entire communities were destroyed.”

This was the only example selected for highlighting. Coincidence?

In the next episode: “Alien Ice Towers” [another provocative title] there’s a segment that more clearly exposes their bias:

“A horrific discovery is retrieved from the bowels of a frozen peak in the Andes.” – “Archeologists braved several days of driving winds and freezing temperatures to reach the summit of Llullallaco [over 20,000 feet in elevation] before they could begin excavations of three burials lying under 5 feet of rock and earth.” – “It appears as if these bodies are all children . . . Why are these children buried so high up on a mountain?” – “What on earth could they possibly be doing up here?” – “It’s an unsettling discovery, even for this group of seasoned archeologists, and they’re compelled to find out what happened to them.”

They came up with a theory:

“When the Spanish invaded in 1532, they were known to capture important members of the Inca nobility and hold them ransom as a means to exert influence over the entire society. Could these children have been taken hostage? The young boy was tied up which could be evidence of a kidnapping. And the high elevation would have allowed them to spot any rescue force coming from a distance. Maybe these were hostages who were eliminated when nobles didn’t cooperate or when they weren’t needed any more.”

Are we expected to believe that these soldiers would climb through “several days of driving winds and freezing temperatures to reach the summit” — to a position with no food, shelter, firewood, or path of safe retreat — so they can “spot any rescue force coming from a distance”?

It’s a scenario that is not only ludicrous, it was proven impossible: but only after implicating the Spanish does the series finally admit that carbon dating showed this occurred before the Spanish had even arrived in the area.

Interestingly; archaeologists use radiocarbon dating on bodies immediately after the initial excavation has been completed — and before any final analysis of the site is done — making this debunked “theory” no more than a gratuitous xenophobic swipe.

But there’s more.

While the Spanish are presented as 2-dimensional cardboard villains; the Incas receive a much different treatment. The revelation that these children were victims of human sacrifice ceremonies brings a quick defense of this “sophisticated and powerful civilization”:

“The Inca chose children from the far corners of their lands to underscore the unity of their empire. In fact, there was a caste of Inca groomed especially for this great honor.” – “Typical methods of ritual killing were strangulation, live burial, and blows to the head. As barbaric as it sounds, we need to understand this in the context of Inca belief and tradition. This was one of the greatest honors bestowed on anyone” – “Their sacrifice literally was to ensure the survival of their entire people.”

Although these indigenous apologists insist that; “We need to understand this in the context of Inca belief and tradition” – they show no interest in doing the same for the Spanish.

But then, if you’re creating an atmosphere of xenophobic hate: understanding is the last thing you want to encourage.
