Volume V, Chapter 6
Arnulf of Carinthia,
East Frankish king and
emperor (887-899)
‘Like his father Carloman, Arnulf also went through the political and military “school” as commander in the south-eastern Marches… When the ailing Emperor Charles III became politically weaker and weaker, Arnulf quickly intervened, joining forces with the deposed Archchancellor Liutward in 887 to overthrow Charles… Arnulf was able to rely heavily on the episcopal churches since the Synod of Frankfurt in 888.’
—William Störmer
‘In me, you have the most determined opponent of all those who are hostile to the Church of Christ and rebellious to his priestly ministry.’
—Arnulf of Carinthia
‘The king travelled from Franconia to Alamannia, crowned with victory, and celebrated the Lord’s birthday dignifiedly at the royal court of Ulm. From there he travelled eastwards and arrived in Moravia in July. He stayed there for four weeks with such a superior force—even Hungarians joined his march there—, burning down the whole country… Before Lent, the king visited “monasteries and bishoprics throughout the land of the West Franks” (Lotharingia) “in order to pray”.’
—Annales Fuldenses
‘Anarchy, lawlessness and legal insecurity are the hallmarks of the time, growing out of the feudal structure of society.’
—L. M. Hartmann

What white nationalist pundit today imagines that these 9th century actions on behalf of the god of the Jews would have devastating consequences for Aryan mental health in centuries to come (cf. what I said earlier today in my previous post)?
By honoring the Saxons massacred by Christian kings of the Carolingian dynasty, Himmler did realize how toxic that historical enterprise had been.
Tomorrow I will resume my quotes from Irving’s biography on Herr Himmler, which, unlike Deschner’s volumes, can be purchased in English.
“By honoring the Saxons massacred by Christian kings of the Carolingian dynasty, Himmler did realize how toxic that historical enterprise had been.”
I see now why you are posting the Criminal History of Christianity series. The consequence of the ascendance of Christianity was the mass slaughter of Nordic Europeans all for the glory of a Semitic god. I never thought of it that way. No one in the modern world does. All your writing is consistent in pointing this out. For that I’m grateful.
Its funny, I have read about Charles Martel. And while he is heroic for saving Europe from Arab / Muslim conquest, he did start off his career by waging war against the Frisians in the name of Christian conquest. So he may have been one of the first people to have started this process making him a mixed figure.
It baffles me why Europeans thought Christianity was a superior theological system to their native paganism. So much so that they fought brutal wars of religious conquest of their own people to enforce this alien religion. Never realizing how an alien tribe might one day benefit.
And when a European nation finally woke up, look no further than what the Americans did (as the interviewee in my last post ‘Hellstorm interview’ says)!
The irony is that in the New Testament, neither Saul nor Jesus ever spoke of imposing Christianity by force, but voluntarily and peacefully, the idea of imposing it violently comes from the Old Testament, our native pagan European religions and cultures, all the accumulated knowledge and wisdom was destroyed by a deliberately distorted interpretation of the Church starting from Constantine to gain power and lands contradicting the New Testament, the medieval kings who attacked pagan peoples literally behaved like Talmudic Jews, the only real Christians in history were the early ones and some Anabaptist sects. later Christianity is a forced and artificial mixture that is neither Christianity because it totally contradicts the New Testament nor is it paganism because it worships a Jewish god, has a warrior and heroic ethos, is ethnocentric and celebrates seasonal festivals.
The missionaries deceived the pagan leaders into believing that Christianity was paganism 2.0 by presenting Jesus as a conquering warrior (as appears in the poem “The Dream of the Rood”) because the Germanic peoples were not interested in a religion that said that one had to love one’s enemies and turn the other cheek, which would have put the safety of their tribe at risk, they only accepted becoming Christians when this Christianity was sufficiently paganized for them, in addition to political and economic interests to forge alliances and trade agreements with Christianized nations.
