RUE DE RIVOLI, near the Louvre, in Nazi occupied Paris. Giant Swastikas line the streets of the French capital. Paris fell to the Germans just weeks after the Nazis launched an invasion in 1940
In 20th century Europe the ones with a true passion for revolution were the Marxists, who in fact envisioned the tyranny of an ideological elite. The other great passion to sweep Europe was Fascism - another tyranny.
Europeans who have fought for democracy and true freedom have been a tiny minority. French resistance to the Nazi regime was in large part a myth, and most of them were Communists. A large percentage of Europeans were happy to submit. Even the Jews did not dare to fight. Not one of them thought of putting an end to the Nazi elite during one of their numerous public ceremonies.
Perhaps it is not in Europe's DNA to cherish political freedom enough to fight for it. For much of its history, after all, Europe has been ruled by kings, emperors, and other despots.
When Europe finally succumbs to Muslim majority and Muslim rule, Americans won't be there to bail them out. America is, as we speak, going down too, with a twice-elected Muslim-sympathizing president who is bringing hundreds of thousands of Muslims into the country. And in spite of Trump's popularity, the USA is too mired in political correctness to even save itself.
Paris through a Nazi lens:
Andre Zucca's images of Paris in the Second World War have remained controversial
When these pictures were put on display in 2008 - more than 60 years after being taken - many called for the exhibition to be closed down
They appear to show Parisians carefree and jubilant under Nazi occupation and Vichy rule
The photojournalist took images of fashionable women, smiling soldiers, and happy families in the capital for the German magazine SIGNAL
They were to be used as Nazi propaganda, but they managed to capture the shameful nature of French passivity and collaboration
Much of the French Resistance myth is just that, a myth concocted after the war to rebuild the French national spirit.
In the years before World War II fascist and anti-Semitic ideology was prominent in France, particularly among intellectuals.
The Vichy regime was even more enthusiastic than the Nazis themselves in its zeal to round up and ship French Jews and Jewish refugees to death camps.
The British who came under Nazi occupation in the Channel Islands, also happily adapted to their new life.
The current authorities in western Europe arrest citizens for the mere crime of questioning Islam, and turn their police and water cannons on those who protest Muslim rapes and terror attacks.
UNFORTUNATELY the only option for saving Europe from Muslim dominance is another tyranny.
Neo-Nazis and crypto-Nazis are already coming out, emboldened by the growing fear and disgust of the general population with rampant Muslim crime and terror.
Moderate anti-Islamization organizations and political parties are bound to morph into more radical fascist movements once they establish a stronger foothold in European parliaments.
The future looks dim. Either Europe will be fully colonized by Islam, or it will revert to the rule of fascist despots. According to a widening point of view, there is no way to repatriate Muslims out of Europe without a ruthless right wing government in power.
Or it could all end in nuclear apocalypse and chaos, as terrorists are already working on an attack on nuclear power plants, and on detonating home-made nuclear devices.
