Germania: The area of land on the east bank of the Rhine, or inner Germania. It was also the name given to Berlin by the third Reich, for the projected renewal of the German capital, and part of the vision for the future of Germany after WWII."

This Journal is for the most part public, but comments are disabled on most entries. This is a place to really speak my mind as it were, through old (or new) photographs, works of art, or simply writing it down.
I might rant a bit, post articles and say things that are indeed offensive to some, to make a point. Even if I don't entirely agree with everything in said articles.

Additionally; while politics and military have nothing to do with one's cultural heritage, I will say that I am fascinated by the Third Reich before and during WWII.
Don't let the imagery of any swastikas you may find here fool you. I do not agree with most of the political ideology of the NSDAP.
I do however consider the propaganda/art, architecture, civic projects, cultural identity, perseverance and uniforms in Germany during that period to be some of the most stunning the 20th century had seen, and that we have seen since.
And yes, I have a 'thing' for German uniforms ;-)
However, I am less worried about what race is better, and more concerned with the preservation of my heritage and cultural traditions, which are so quickly being forgotten and lost.
Though perhaps *I am* concerned for my own race and its preservation as well, that in essence, encompasses these cultures and traditions.
So as a warning, there might just be a few "racially poignant" posts within; just my thoughts and comments on things I have seen and experienced as a person of central European/American nationality and race.

If you are easily offended by any of this, you shouldn't read further.
With that said, I suspect I shall get some hate-mail once in a while from the overly sensitive.

I will likely not add 'friends' to this journal, since anyone can read and occasionally comment.
If anyone truly feels the need to discuss any entry that has comments disabled, they are welcome to send me a private message.

Um....

Wow. I have no words...oh wait I do; these people disgust me.

I know it's been a long time since I posted here last, but let me get one thing out of the way first;

I don't give a shit about Amy Winehouse.
It's sad that such a talented voice was lost to drugs, but as far as the woman is concerned, I have no patience or sympathy for drug addicts. I realize there are many factors that lead to drug use, but the main reason is plain and simple: Weakness.

Humans are weak by nature, but there's also that whole self preservation thing that keeps us alive.
Drug addicts are like dogs that eat their own shit. And we all know what happens to them :-(

While people are whining over the already expected early end of the above pop star crack ho all over the news and online, the death toll from yesterday's attacks in Norway rises to 92.
Most of them children.
It's absolutely disgusting.

Just thoughts for today...

I think that the racist/racism issue is another entity in itself in that as a folkish people in today's world, we cannot help but be racially aware.
That is just an unavoidable truth. There is a huge difference between being racially aware and blatantly hostile to other races. I personally feel that although I have said things at times which seem racist and will again I'm sure, as will most of us, it is always stated in context and are merely observations made from the personal experiences I and others like me have had.

If I am branded a racist by being actively aware of my heritage or simply acknowledging that there is a difference, that I am part of a race which can accept its own culture and history in the face of modern political correctness, then so be it.

I can think of at least one more, very poignant reason:

In said film, unlike so many before and currently alongside it, we have a strong fair-skinned, blue-eyed, blonde, European female in the lead role of a mainstream film (dare I say White?).
Yes yes, we have central European female leads in films all the time, but this is not just any role. This is not the role of a soccer mom, victim, bitchy starlet, fun bunny, etc.
It's the fact she is in an action role no less, usually reserved over the last 20 years to non-Nordic, Asians and/or those of a darker complexion when it comes to films marketed to mainstream movie-goers...where the 'whites' are always cast as the bad guys or bimbos. Not to say that Hanna herself is purely a good guy...but I'll let you all see for yourselves as to not spoil it ;)

Very interesting indeed, and I must say, refreshing.

I just finished this book:

"German Voices - Memories Of Life During Hitler's Third Reich"
by Frederich C. Tubach (with Sally Patterson Tubach)

This book puts into sharp clarity and perspective, the experiences of German civilians and soldiers during the Third Reich of Germany.
'The voices of this long-overlooked population--ordinary people who were neither victims nor perpetrators--reveal the rich complexity of their attitudes and emotions.'

Introduction:
..."Several years ago I began collecting letters and interviewing Germans who lived during the Third Reich, my intention being to counteract generalizations about "All Germans" that Hitler wanted the world to believe and to rebut the common belief that Germans who lived during that time are best understood by broad, condemnatory assertions.
In order to make these differentiated German voices intelligible, I try to explain how Hitler manipulated the younger generation within his revolutionary system, and how he was able to succeed so quickly.
I believe that the German voices in this work illuminate the variety and complexity of circumstances that in fact existed during that terrible time, and they open another window on Hitler's Third Reich. It is not my intention to present a polemic but merely to add -for the record- German voices that have not been sufficiently heard in the united states."

(or in Germany/Europe for that matter)

"Finally, although the holocaust is not at the center of this project, it remains a dreadful and powerful reminder that in a democracy, ordinary citizens should be wary of political leaders who provide simplistic answers to complex social, political, and economic problems. I hope this work is a similar reminder that what government does in the people's name should be recognized and understood...before it's too late."

Mmmmm

I need a Miesbacher hat!!



The search has lead me to only two places online; Ernst Licht, who seems to be sold out?
Each time I hit the "add to cart' button, it never shows up in said cart :-(
Plus, his prices are a bit high.

Then there is another place that has a simple list of items they have up for sale, no shopping cart system.
They have one ladies Miesbacher hat left, so I sent them an email to see if it's still available.
Who knows.
They may not have updated that page since 2002, ugh.

I've been wanting one of these hats since I was a little girl, and even whenever we visited family in Austria/Bavaria, they seemed impossible to find.
I had found a badly banged up vintage one in Salzburg, but the lady wanted $300 US dollars for it.
No thanks.
I know they are still being made and that they are available. It's just finding them is a chore, and there are not a lot of online clothiers that sell the more obscure little accessories, such as this hat. Understandably, much of the traditional Tracht accessories that are still made, is very grassroots. Much as it has always been; sewn within the villages and regions they are associated with.

I could understand if they didn't want "Tourists" buying them, but it's pretty obvious my father and I aren't tourists when we inquire after them.

By the way guys;
If you are a friend of a person who is in a committed relationship with someone,
Don't suggest he go about "womanizing" or the like, even in a joking manner.
On top of it being an insult to their partner, it's an insult to their vows to each other.
It just makes you look like a socially inept douche bag.
There is nothing funny about it.

It has nothing to do with weather or not someone is feeling insecure.
Unless the person you are directing it toward is single, the suggestion is just insulting and sleazy all on it's own.

Speaking of fashion...
People who wear Uggs, unless they are actually living in cold climate conditions (like Finland!) that call for them, should be shot.
Well, not literally....but that's often my first thought each time I see them worn in such an out-of-context way 99.9% of the time.
frau_germania: (Default)
"In earlier times, each 'tracht' identified a person as belonging to a particular group in terms of social and legal status (married, single), origin or trade.
Today, the term is used to describe any garment reminiscent of the attire of rural communities. Regional varieties are pronounced.

Women's attire, the dirndl, consists of a closefitting bodice combined with an apron in a different colour. Sometimes its sleeveless and worn with a cotton and lace blouse, sometimes it features sleeves and a high neck. Hats are often costly and elaborate. They vary according to occasion and region: 'Goldhauben' (Upper Austria) and 'Bollenhut' (Black Forest region, Germany) are only worn on festive occasions.

Man's traditional clothing is made from leather, linen and wool. 'Lederhosen', knee-length trousers or short-pants made from leather are worn with rustic shoes and wool socks. Again, jackets and hats vary according to region and occasion. The traditional 'Steireranzug' a greyish garment made from loden with green embroidery has managed to become a semi-official tracht all over Austria and can be worn to all sorts of official occasions from formal dinner, ball or political meeting.

In Austria, people still enjoy wearing 'tracht' on official occasions like weddings, festivals, etc. Contemporary fashion adapts traditional elements, the production of dirndl and lederhosen is a thriving economical branch with Sportalm, Geiger or Tostmann being favourite brands.

There are many societies dedicated to 'tracht' revivals. Often, those efforts coincide with an interest in traditional crafts, like porcelain, glass-making or wood carving and traditional folk music and dancing.

With the great success of the Trapp family in the States and the even greater success of 'The sound of music' tracht became famous in the states, too!"

"Austrians have developed a strong sense for celebrations, rituals and symbolism. This is reflected in the many holidays and festivals that are held in an annual cycle. Don′t be afraid to join the crowds - like almost anything in Austria, most traditional customs (with the exception of purely religious actions) actively endorse tourism and welcome international visitors!

Outside of Vienna, Austria is a fairly rural place with traditionally small communities that were often resistant against cultural change. Therefore, many ancient traditions and customs have survived. Some of these are said to date back to Celtic or Roman times, others were introduced by Bavarian and Slavic people. Once Austria was Christian the church implemented old customs into its own mythology and thereby ensured the tradition and preservation of them. What many people today perceive as a festival of a saint might actually be derived from a worshipping ritual of a pagan goddess.

The new year in Austria begins with the so-called "Neujahrsschießen" (New Year′s Salute). Squads of historical rifle associations (well, at least referring to historical associations with their uniforms) gather in traditional costumes in many cities all over the country. They line up in rows and shoot, often with massive, 17th-century style guns. If you are willing to get up on the first of January, this is worth watching."

February is dominated by the peak of the ball season in Austria. The "national" ball, sometimes called the "Ball der Republik" (ball of the republic") is the famous Wiener Opernball (Vienna Opera Ball). This is a great opportunity for Austria's rich, famous and wannabes to dress up and have a good time. The president, chancellor and most of the government normally waltz at the ball and there is a great deal of media attention from around the World dedicated to the opera that night."

By Christian Miller

"The left has loudly, proudly, and publicly proclaimed their burning desire for the end of the White majority.

As far as violent and hateful language and calls for White genocide, there is a long list of belligerent quotations by leftists in the media, politics, and academia. The following is a small sample. Jewish intellectual and leftist activist Susan Sontag snarled, “The White race is the cancer of history.” Leonard Jeffries, chairman of African-American studies at the City College of New York, said he wanted to leave his children in a “world in which there aren’t any White people.” Jewish Harvard professor and editor of Race Traitor magazine Noel Ignatiev trumpeted, “The goal of abolishing the White race is on its face so desirable that some may find it hard to believe that it could incur any opposition other than from committed White supremacists. … Keep bashing the dead White males, and the live ones, and the females, too, until the social construct known as the White race is destroyed. Not deconstructed, but destroyed.” Mario Obledo, founder of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF), remarked on radio station KIEV, “California is going to be a Hispanic state and anyone who doesn’t like it should leave. If they don’t like Mexicans, they ought to go back to Europe.”

Professor Jose Gutierrez of the University of Texas gleefully boasted, “We have an aging White America. They are dying. They are [expletive] in their pants with fear! I love it!” Malcolm X described a plane crash in 1962 as follows: “The death of over 120 White people is a very beautiful thing.” Eldridge Cleaver, former Black Panther leader, explained why he raped White women: “Rape was an insurrectionary act. It delighted me that I was defying and trampling upon the White man’s law, upon his system of values, and that I was defiling his women.”

Leftists have conducted an incessant and strident media, political, and educational campaign with the message that White Americans are irredeemably evil. The ideology of unique White evil has motivated many Blacks to murder, rape, rob, and assault Whites, or at the very least has lessened inhibitions toward doing so. The amount of Black-on-White violent crime overshadows White-on-Black violent crime by such an egregious magnitude that it should enrage any reasonable person. Black men rape White women approximately twenty to thirty thousand times every single year in America. The annual count of White men raping Black women rarely breaks into the double digits.

Instead of pointing out the horrendous amount of Black-on-White violent crime, the left purposefully covers it up by not reporting it in the mainstream media. The silence is deafening, especially for victims and their families. Even worse, the left plays up any examples of White-on-Black violence to warp the public’s perception of reality. Instead of taking steps to reduce or call attention to Black-on-White rape, robbery, assault, and murder, the left clamors for “Hate Crime” laws which only apply to White perpetrators. Former head of the US Commission on Civil Rights, Mary Frances Berry, explained that “Civil rights laws were not passed to protect the rights of White men and do not apply to them.”

When Whites are beaten, raped, or killed in a racially-motivated fashion, the motive is always swept under the rug and described as a “random act of violence.” When Whites speak out against the disproportionate amount of non-White crime in America, leftists cry “racism!” and push for “Hate Speech” laws to silence dissent and sidestep the First Amendment by legislative means. Leftists have encouraged, incited, sanctioned, obfuscated, and defended unspeakably vicious acts of violent crime in America, and will continue to do so in the future—unless the perpetrator is White or conservative. In that case, the incident will become front-page news and transform into an endlessly-repeated “talking point.”

A great quote on Islam...
"They have killed Love. They treat their women like subhuman beings. They marry without love, they breed without love, they pamper their grubby sons like kings and abuse their daughters like dogs. They beat the living shit out of their wives, strangle them or stone them to death if their pride demands it. They have deprived themselves of God’s greatest gift, the free and happy love between a man and a woman. They live in terrible barrenness, because over the ages this lack of love has killed their souls. That is why they are dumb, cruel and near mad. With us Christians they see what love can be, and it drives them crazy. The only remedy they can find is hate, because their sick honour forbids anything else. That is why they long so much for their silly paradise. That is why they hate life and worship death, their own death included. That is why they kill their animals and enemies and women so barbarously, because it pleases them to see someone suffering more than themselves."

Valentines Day.
You know, I understand it's just a holiday invented to make money between The Big Ones, piggy-backing on a historical theme.

But I'll admit that while I don't give it too much attention, I do enjoy all the reminders it gives us to tell those we love "I love you" every day. Regardless.

I was annoyed just now though.
An acquaintance of mine was bitching about how she has gone "ignored" yet again this year.
Yet this same person bitches about how the holiday is fake and just makes the greeting card and candy industry more money.
Bitches about it all year, and when her husband asks if she want's to do anything for V Day, she bitches about it more.
The poor guy ends up just confused and afraid, and ends up not bothering.
I wouldn't bother either if that's the way my partner acted.
Then when the day rolls around, she expects to get something. Candy and flowers and sparkly things.
WTF?!?
Heh, well, she didn't get any of it. Not even a "Happy Valentine's Day".
He was probably afraid he'd get his head bitten off for even breathing the sentence.
Well, she didn't get them again this year...and she's whining and in tears, YET STILL BITCHING ABOUT HOW MUCH SHE DESPISES VALENTINES DAY and what it stands for.
What do you expect, you hypocrite!
Wow.

She is not a bad person, but she can be hard to be around sometimes.
A typical case of the self-loathing individual, she gets defensive when faced with truth, and is ill-equipped emotionally. Add to that a horrible lack of personal discipline and the ability to act her age, and you have a classic example.

On that note; she also has a bad habit of attacking other women who are thinner than her. Not like Kate Moss, but just smaller than *her*.
You know the type; sees a photo of anyone hight-weight-proportionate and says they need to eat more or that they are "emaciated". Gee, that must make me a bulimia case in her eyes.
It's maddening.

Another quip of hers that got me the other day;
she was saying how she might have worked herself "too hard" at the gym recently, because (and I kid you not) she had "broken a sweat".
O_o
THAT'S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN YOU CRAZY WOMAN! It's called BURNING CALORIES and PHYSICAL ACTIVITY!

If she had just left the description at "Gretchen costume" or even "Cosplay" or "Barmaid/wench Costume", it would be fine.
But no, she had to go and include Oktoberfest Dirndl/Bavarian/German dress.
Bitch, don't even associate traditional German and Austrian Tracht with this piece of hootchie crap.
And it's not just that one, she's a repeat-offender.

It's this kind of thing; this taking of a culture's traditions and making a joke out of it (not even an intelligent joke) that causes the rampant loss of a real cultural identity. It's true and real history and traditions are drowned out by a metaphorical heckler in the audience.
I have a sense of humor about things, but this crosses the line into just plain stupid.

So popular with our youth.

and under the covers.

Yet we still hold hope for our land
we hold his flame high
and sing for a better tomorrow
we can see it already
It is so early
that we have not yet lost the dream...

Strength Through Joy.
we are the epitome

Seriously.
This 'person' in an online group (or two) that I belong to, is at it again;
telling everyone they are of German blood, constantly quoting German songs, Calling Germany their Fatherland, constantly posting photos of German soldiers, etc... because they are that obsessed.
Uh...sure you're German...with your pitch black hair, dark olive skin and black eyes. All the family you post about (both sides) are from Spain, Portugal, and Greece. Not once have you even mentioned any German....and even if you had a few drops in your veins, it's totally diluted by the rest. NOTHING about you is German, physical features or otherwise.
It's true that there are few, if any, true light-blonde-haired Germans. Those are nordic traits, but seriously! This person is as Un-central European as they come.
GAAAHHHH!!!

This person is such an Anglo-wanna-be/Germanophile that it's even gotten to the point where they are mimicking my photos; similar poses, concepts, clothing, etc.
Creepy.

You know, I usually suck at being a racist, I'm much too accepting of others....but this turns my racist radio on, and turns the volume up to 11...in surround sound even.

BTW, Germans do have blonde hair in many cases, it's just a richer shade than the platinum blonde you see further north. Like mine, it ranges from a golden to ash blonde that lightens easily in the sun, almost bleaching out during summer months.
I have my grandmothers 'German blonde' hair color, and my mothers paler Nordic complexion. I consider myself lucky...though I really need to be careful about too much sun exposure or I burn to a crisp!

Not only a must read, it should be required reading.
The Culture Of Critique by Kevin MacDonald.


This review on Amazon is by E. Baumgartner:
"As a former leftist Hollywood Jew (I wrote TV shows), I can say from personal experience that Prof. MacDonald is 100% correct in this book. The shows I worked on: Mary Tyler Moore Show, That Girl, & Love American Style, among others, were nothing more than Jewish tools (for the most part) to undermine the innocence of American WASP culture, ("Cultural Marxism" as Prof. MacDonald calls it).
I became disturbed with the studio editorial "rule" that children should be portrayed as sassy and disrespectful towards their parents. A few times I presented a script to my editor (also a Jewish guy) in which I had the child character behaving politely and respectfully towards his parents. The editor changed the lines to make the child bratty/sassy and then told me "... that's the way it should be done from now on, unless I tell you otherwise". That's when I started to see that something else was going on besides just making TV shows. I could see the changes in American society resulting from all this TV propaganda. I eventually left writing and became a teacher.
Kudos to Prof. MacDonald for his meticulous research in writing this book.

Kevin MacDonald's Daily Show Adventure


In other news...
Shocking but no real surprise: I was actually called a "Nazi" the other day, haha!
A customer was looking at an item, and I mentioned how the leather was a nice "Loden green suede". That color description was actually printed on the tag too, but anyway...

She turned to me, exhaled sharply with that sound of bitchy offense, and said
"No, that's a MOSS green...are you German or something?"

Me: "Sure it could be called a moss green too...and yes, along with Swedish, Austrian and Bavarian, I am German."
Her: "So that makes your family a bunch of Nazis."
Me: "No...I think technically the term would've been NSDAP members." *grin*

She looked blank, had no comeback, and just walked out.
I think she could smell the ovens I imagined being heated up out back >:-)
I know, that's a horrible thought...but still. What a psycho!

The bint must have had some pretty nasty issues, to have picked on such a random subject as a color description.
