It is impossible to say at any given moment: "Here the evolutionary process stops," for it is the nature of the evolution of all things that every halt to this life process must lead to extinction
On the contrary, it is the essence of Nature that again and again those who are the most competent are chosen and lifted up, meaning therefore, that one must open a pathway within the people so that those who are more competent are not locked in by a static social structure, that one must not allow financial circumstances of the people to halt the process
Instead, one must take care to ensure that a continuous stream of fresh blood rises from the bottom to the top and that everything above which is decadent, because it is lazy, should die, because it must die, because it is ready to die
One should not put a stop to this process
And so the talk of war on war has been proved quite false
The best proof for that is that the moment the war was over, the conditions for a new war could by no means be avoided, nor the instruments for waging the new war, either
It would have been a wonderful gesture if after the disarmament of Germany, as it had been promised in the treaty, England, America, and France had also disarmed
We suggested it to them often, begged them to at the time of the Weimar Republic, and still later demanded that they do it
They did not even consider it
On the contrary, the wars went on
Only the defeated people, the German people, lost every prospect ever in this world to change its condition once more for the better
FALSE PROMISES OF ENGLAND TO ITS ALLIES The methods which they used in the first World War were like those with which they are fighting today
At first the war from outside, and war in the form of creating coalitions
Here fits a piece of Churchill's shamelessness, who says today: "England was never in a position to carry on war by herself alone against Italy or Germany
" But this same man has through his lieutenant year after year given out promises of guarantee to the whole world
Then he himself admits that they were never in a position to fight alone
But they guaranteed the Baltic states; they guaranteed the Balkans
They went on around: Every state in the world, they declared, needs a guarantee
Great Britain will put her whole strength behind them and will protect them
Today this same arch-liar says: "But we were really never in a position to carry on the war alone
" But that is right; even in the World War they were not in a position to carry on the war alone
Therefore they cooked up a coalition against us of world-wide extent
The methods have likewise remained the same
Promises to all those of little faith, the credulous, or stupid, who wanted to trust these promises, moreover, the attempt to allow their own interests to be represented with as much other blood as possible
BRITAIN ENCOURAGES DIVISIONS IN GERMANY It must always be remembered that the British world empire in the 400 years since its origin had to shed in countless wars barely 10% of the blood that Germany needed to defend alone its bare existence, and in spite of that, we have always lost more and more
This truth is connected with the second British method, that is, with the method of division
In the time that the British Empire had its origin, Germany tore herself apart
There were at that time modes of thought that we no longer understand, modes of thought of a religious kind, that unfortunately were fought out only with the sword, modes of thought that became horrible among the people, that seem insufficient to us in their inner being
Only these grievous internal struggles, that cost the German people endless blood, gave England the opportunity, in this same period, to raise up a world claim that never belonged to her either in number or in significance
Then I must always point out that it is not true that we Germans are like upstarts, but if one wants to talk about upstarts, then it is unconditionally the English and not ourselves! We have an older history, and during the time when Europe had a powerful German Empire, England was a quite insignificant, small, green island
In the last World War the possibilities of this dissolution lay in another sphere
The religious problems did not provoke any more bloodshed, especially since the priests themselves would not have been ready any more to sacrifice their lives for these causes
After realizing the impossibility of involving the German people in a dark, dynastic and domestic crisis, there evolved a new possibility of playing the political parties' against one another
We lived through it then
The parties of the right and the parties of the left, which further splintered; a dozen bourgeois aspects, and a half dozen proletarian aspects
And having begun with these parties, from the bourgeoisie of the Zentrum Party up to the KPD (Communist Party of Germany), the German people were undermined and broken down slowly from within
In spite of that, the course of the war was an immeasurably glorious one
The years 1914-1918 - they proved one thing: not even the opponents triumphed; it was a low, common revolt, plotted by Marxian-Zentrum-Liberal-Capitalistic subjects
The driving force behind all of it was the eternal Jew
They brought Germany to its collapse at that time
PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY: THE ROOT OF GERMANY'S SURRENDER IN 1918 We know this today from the verdict of the English themselves, that they in 1918 were exhausted, just before their own collapse, when perhaps a quarter hour before 12 o'clock the revolt in Germany was realized
Only the cowardice of our former rulers, their indecision, their halfway measures, their own uncertainty brought it on
And so the First World War was lost not by the merit of our opponents, but exclusively by our own fault
The consequences of this collapse in November were not that world democracies stretched out open arms to Germany, they were not concerned about freeing the German people from its burdens and lifting the German people to a higher standard of culture (an impossibility since they themselves had a much lower one); the consequence was the most frightful collapse, politically and economically, that a people has ever experienced
AMERICAN LIES At that time there came to us a man who has done the German people immeasurable harm, Woodrow Wilson, the man who lied with a straight face
If Germany would lay down her arms, then she would get a compassionate, an understanding peace! Then she would not lose her colonies! But the colonial problems were fixed up, all right! The man lyingly promised us that there would be a general disarmament, that we would then be accepted on equal terms among nations, peoples, etc
with equal rights! He lyingly promised us that then secret diplomacy would be done away with, and that we too would then enter into a new age of peace, of equality, of reason, etc
! This arch-liar's stooge was the President Roosevelt of today! He was his right hand man
Our German folk believed this man
They had no idea that they were dealing here with an American President, that is, with a man who has no regard for truths; who, for example, can calmly say before an election: "I shall vote against war," and after the election can say: "I vote for war
" And who, when he is then called to answer for it, can explain as calmly as ever: "I said that then because I thought that there would be stupid people who would take it for the truth
" But we had no idea of a thing like this, that we were in fact dealing with a paralysis victim, with a madman, who was then head of this people, with which the German people had never in their history had a conflict! So there came the hour of the German people's worst disappointment: got its disappointment at the moment when the German subordinate emissaries entered the car in the Compiegne forest, now known to us for the second time
And there right away came the rude question: "What are you gentlemen doing here?" There was an armistice which in reality meant total defenselessness
And the sequel to this armistice was then the peace treaty, the complete removal of our people's arms and therewith the removal of its rights, and with that the plundering and ravaging by an international financial combine which threw our people into the depths of misery
They told us beforehand: "He who says that we intend to take away Germany's colonies lies!" They took them away from us! They said: "He who says that the intention is to take from Germany her merchant marine is not telling the truth!" They took it away from us! They said beforehand: "He who says that we want to take away part of the German people is inciting the people!" Later they took away one part after another! They had broken all their promises! In a few months the German people sank into a state of unimaginably deep despair and despondency-starving people without any hope
A people that did not get its prisoners of war back, even after the armistice and peace-treaty had been signed! A people that was not given food, even after it was defenseless! A people that was now repeatedly coerced,-if one carefully studies those times-from whom re-subjection was again and again demanded, extorted by some new repression
Even today, when one reflects upon this, one falls into a state of burning hatred and rancor against a world in which anything like this is possible
BIRTH OF NATIONAL SOCIALISM Now it was at that time, my comrades, when everything was shattered, when the highest leadership of the Reich had fled abroad, when others were surrendering, when the armed forces had to give up their weapons, when the people themselves voluntarily disarmed; at that time when agitation could rage against Germany from within our borders, that one could read in the newspapers: "It is a good thing that we lost the war," that men without character could declare: "We were not able to win the war," it was at that moment, when anyone who even thought of Germany, or spoke about it, trembled to stand up, at that time, when the renunciation of life was being preached as an ideal, so to speak, and when one was ashamed to face the world as a German altogether, it was at that very time, my comrades, that I entered my political career with the determination to resurrect Germany! It was such a mad determination in the eyes of those others, that my closest friends did not understand me
I found the strength for this determination only from my insight into the population
If, at that time, I had only known the upper ten thousand, believe me, my German people-I would not stand before you today, I would never have found courage for this thought which is capable of revolutionizing a people: Determination and Faith
I knew first and foremost the people itself; I knew my comrades; I knew that these men, who for years have done what could not be left undone, who have done work without precedence, could be trusted,-I knew that if they only would have had the right leadership, that they never would have agreed to a capitulation, not these comrades, since each knew that so many comrades had already fallen for what I was fighting for
I could not abandon that, for it would have been to betray my own comrades, who were just as badly treated by life as I myself, who had also contributed their lives to the cause
I have come to know the great mass of the German people, ladies and gentlemen, from living with them
And these masses have not only upheld my belief in the people, but have restored it, and constantly strengthened it through all the years since then, in the face of contrary circumstances, or when any misfortune seemed to threaten the realization of my plans
It was clear to me that this whole development, just as in the last 20 years or 30 years before the war, could lead only to collapse
But I had already formed the resolve to declare war on this whole development
That is not merely to declare: "I will get a German Wehrmacht, I will get an army or an air-force"; it was clear to me that the inner structure of the social order must be altered, so that in the dead body of our people the blood would flow up from the bottom again, and that society should hold firmly to the goal
I have always looked upon this undertaking as possible, as within the power of the country
But I was of the conviction that strength could only be given to a body in which the sight and the essence of the new condition was already incorporated
Therefore, I was resolved to build up a small movement, beginning with those people who should already have within themselves that which appeared later as really essential to the whole of society
And this was perhaps not so hard as I thought, inasmuch as I was already on guard against the danger of unworthy place-seekers or selfish persons joining my ranks
For whoever joined this movement in those years from 1919-23 had to be a boundless idealist
Any other kind of man would only say: "He is an utter fool
He wants to build a new people, to found a new state, to organize a new Wehrmacht, to make the Germans free again-and he hasn't even a name, no money, no press, no political clique, nothing
The man is mad
" They had to be boundless idealists who came to me then, for we had nothing at all to gain, but always only to lose, always to sacrifice
And I can say that of all my followers, all of them who at that time and later supported me: they had nothing to win, and everything to lose
And how many have lost everything, even their lives, for my sake
I have now begun this battle, first against stupidity, stupidity and inertia, under the so-called higher strata; I have begun it against the cowardice which spreads caste far and wide, the cowardice which always pretended to be cleverness and came around and said: "We must submit; we must be patient"; or, as Herr Erzberger said, "We must sign everything, we must sign everything they put before us; then they will forgive us; then it will be all right again
" Against this immeasurable cowardice which did everything rather than take a stand, I had to fight then, in small and gradually larger circles
Often we have experienced that this part of society says, "But why do you go demonstrate on the streets? Can you not see that us others don't want this and that it leads inexorably to more conflict? Why? Because you are provocative, so stop provoking them, stand back, be quiet" And we were not quiet
I then formed the program: "The German street belongs to the German, not the Jew
" And I have won the streets back for these German masses, not by the cleverness of the cowards, but the bravery of these daredevils who at that time attached themselves to me and who were ready to liberate the streets from our enemies, and carry the German colors back through these German streets, to the German markets, villages and cities
And I had at that time to fight on further against selfish interests of manyl individuals
The man of the Left said to me: "You are going against my interests" or "You are going against my interests
My interests are class interests
And these class interests oblige me to slay the other fellow
" And the other spectrum said to me: "Sir, keep away from our interests
We have the interests of station, we too have our interests, stay away
Do not come in here!" I had to turn against both sides
And above the interests which seemed to be found in station or in class, stood the interests which lie in the people themselves, in that community which cannot be torn apart
All this appears today to be so obvious a thing to get all these truisms into the cross-grained skulls of our people from the Left and Right
One group did not want to accept this idea, from pure doggedness, because they said: "What? We will break our enemies' heads in", and the others did not want to accept it because of their limitations or stupidity, because of sluggish thinking, when they said: That was not until now, why should we change now? You cannot demand of me that I should have anything to do with these persons who come from the people: That I cannot do
Eventually you will even demand of me that I should add switch positions
We want to be a people as brothers, but with enough distance, with enough distance, gentlemen, not too close, and only during elections, not every day
All that was thus not so simple, slowly to draw one thing after another out of this people, and how many have quite simply run away from it
It was not, indeed, my national comrades, as if every one who came to me at that time, on that account also remained with me
Many a time I had to bring fifty or sixty somewhere and three months later they were again only seven or eight
All the others were gone again
And one had to begin again

It is impossible to say at any given moment: "Here the evolutionary process stops," for it is the nature of the evolution of all things that every halt to this life process must lead to extinction

On the contrary, it is the essence of Nature that again and again those who are the most competent are chosen and lifted up, meaning therefore, that one must open a pathway within the people so that those who are more competent are not locked in by a static social structure, that one must not allow financial circumstances of the people to halt the process
