VE Day

The duty of a patriot is to protect
his country from its government
— Thomas Paine

On this 63rd anniversary of VE Day, Ranger thought it important to review what VE Day meant, beyond the actual German surrender.

VE Day was:

• A victory over fascist reliance on military power and wars of aggression as a solution to all political problems.

• A victory over arbitrary imprisonment and torture to achieve an agenda of state aggrandizement.

• A victory over torture.

• A victory over malicious propaganda and lies

• A victory over a political system that aggressively forced its policies upon foreign governments and peoples.

• A victory over racist subjugation of other nations.

• A victory over a nation that euthanized medically needy (deficient) citizens. [Lack of universal health coverage = passive euthanization.]

• A victory over malignant national chauvanism.

• A victory over gulags.

• A victory over national press censorship, which curtailed the citizen's right of dissent.

• A victory over religious discrimination and persecution.

• A victory over the apotheosis of the state versus the individual.

And tell me, why was it we fought the Nazi thugs?
