History's Denial by The New York Times

The New York Times just published this about U.S. Presidential candidate John McCain's pastor John Hagee:

(excerpt)

Mr. McCain had sought the endorsement of the Rev. John Hagee, a televangelist, for more than a year and finally won it in February, only to have the Catholic League denounce Mr. Hagee for waging “an unrelenting war against the Catholic Church.” Mr. Hagee called it “the Great Whore,” an “apostate church,” and a “false cult system.” The pastor apologized and said his remarks had been misconstrued, a truce was declared and Mr. McCain still welcomed the endorsement.

Apparently the New York Times forgets what it wrote in 1892 about a faction within the Roman Catholic Church/Vatican, headed by one Miesczyslaw Ledochowski, uncle to the then future Jesuit Order Superior General Wlodimir Ledochowski (b. October 7, 1866, elected Superior General February 11, 1915, retaining that position to his death of December 13, 1942):

(excerpt)

It is very well understood, however, that Monaco is entirely under the control of Ledochowski, that proud, imperious, and able Pole who made Bismarck such worlds of trouble in the old Kulterkampf day and who has been able to impose his will very often upon even the present Pope. This powerful man was in a German prison when Pius IX created him a Cardinal in 1875. Next year he was released and banished, and he has since lived in Rome, devoting his great wealth and talents to building up a militant Ultramontagne party about him. His wrath at the treatment he received at the hands of Bismarck has colored all his political views. He has hated both Germany and Italy and has looked unceasingly forward to the time when French bayonets should restore the temporal power of the Vatican in the old Roman States.

If we assume that this spirited and resolute prelate will shortly be ruling the Church through its nominal head, it becomes a most anxious question how he will accept the existing political conditions of Europe which have so radically changed since 1875. The new rulers of the Germans have been at pains to show their desire to abolish the last traces of the Kulterkampf. When the pending Prussian Education bill is passed, the German Catholics will be actually stronger than they were before the May laws. During the last half year these dispatches have frequently reflected the new interest which William and his immediate entourage are displaying in the Polish question. Of course a good deal of this has arisen naturally from the contemplation of the necessity of sooner or later fighting Russia: but even more it represents the effort to allure Ledochowski into friendship with Germany by an appeal to his national sentiment. How far this has succeeded will be, as has been said, a most anxious question.

In any event under this new regime there would be an abrupt cessation of pastorals on Socialistic and labor problems and of poems about St. Thomas Aquinas. We should instead see the Vatican boldly embark upon the troubled waters of European diplomacy, seeking alliances and taking desperate risks upon the fortune in the next war.

“Should Old Pope Leo Die: the political tendencies of his successor. The Cardinal who would probably win the prize – his Polish supporter – affairs in France and Germany – Spurgeon’s return – Lord Lorne’s appointment", The New York Times, January 23, 1892

What The New York Times writes now is an insult to the 10s of millions of people murdered by the Ledochowskis' wars- 1st that for Polish independence (WWI), and especially the following war (WWII) for the 'cleansing' of Poland of its Jewish and its more independently minded peoples and so many many more, for the goal of Poland's shift westward for the continuing counter reformation's aim of the wholesale theft of lands from Protestants.

Wlodimir (Vladimir) Ledochowski: Ignored By Historians Such as Norman Davies

Norman Davies, author of "God's Playground: A History of Poland"

Wlodimir Ledochowski apparently Un-mentioned in this 700+ page book
on the history of Poland from 1795-present!

Norman Davies

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God's_Playground

God's Playground is a book written in 1979 by Norman Davies, covering the history of Poland.

Davies was inspired to the title by Jan Kochanowski's 1580s Boże igrzysko (Mankind: Bauble of the Gods).

The book (or two, as many editions are split into two volumes) has received good reviews in international press^[1] and is considered by many historians^[2] and other scholars^[3] to be one of the best English-language books on the subject of history of Poland. The author received several Polish honours.

Yet where does it even mention Wlodimir Ledochowski (born October 7, 1866, died December 13, 1942)?!

The only Ledochowski mentioned in the index is Wlodimir's uncle Mieczyslaw, who was imprisoned in 1874 by the government of Otto Von Bismarck, at page 127.

(excerpt)

Davies' works have been criticized at Stanford and elsewhere, by such experts as Lucy S. Dawidowicz (author of The War Against the Jews: 1933-1945) who said they felt Davies minimized historic anti- Semitism in Poland and tended to blame Polish Jews for their fate in the Holocaust. Davies' supporters contend that Poles suffered as much as Jews did in the war and could have done very little to save any of the 3 million Jews living in Poland at the time of the Nazi invasion in 1939.

The History 'Un-Fit' to Print

In Love With the History Our Teachers Never Told Us

French Huguenots murdered by Spanish Roman Catholics.

Much like the inability of it and other newspapers, notably the Washington [a]Post[ate], regarding Roman Catholic terrorist Guy Fawkes, who attempted to blow up the British Parliament in 1605, the New York Times fails to mention the religion and hence the religious motives of the Spanish murderers of French Protestants.

(excerpt)

CUTTYHUNK ISLAND, Mass. — Tony Horwitz’s new book, “A Voyage Long and Strange,” is about the American history most Americans never learned, including the story of the short-lived, early-17th-century colony established on this windswept island eight miles west of Martha’s Vineyard.

The book starts with the Viking discovery of North America, dispels a number of myths about Columbus (a much lousier navigator than we were taught) and then traces the various Spanish and French explorations of America before turning to the English settlements at Jamestown and Plymouth.

That the Pilgrims were very tardy latecomers is one of the themes of “A Voyage Long and Strange,” just published by Macmillan. Another is that much of what we think of as heroic exploration was bumbling and misguided. And a third is that large chunks of our past are preserved these days less by scholars than by passionate amateurs. Who knew, for example, that some evangelicals in Jacksonville, Fla., were keeping alive the memory of the French Huguenots who settled there and were massacred by the Spanish?

The New York Times Lies: Guy Fawkes

According to The New York Times, in a piece published December 17, 2007, "Fund-Raising Reinventing the Revolution" by Marc Santora:

Supporters of Mr. Paul, the Republican Congressman from Texas, are hoping to top their fund-raising effort extravaganza last month, when they took in more then $4 million for the campaign. That effort was pegged to Guy Fawkes Day, which commemorates the attempted assassination of King James I by a British mercenary on Nov. 5, 1605.

Why NO mention that he was a Roman Catholic terrorist who plotted to blow up Parliament?

Is not the New York Times committing a double-standard by referring at times to Islamic terrorists, while the term Roman Catholic terrorist escapes their lexicon?

Why should the New York Times so debase itself by enabling Vatican terrorism?

Common Effective Holocaust Denial via The New York Times Book Review: July 4, 2007

"In 1648 the peace of Westphalia brought the Thirty Years War to an end. Although the Europeans didn't know it, of course, this devastating conflict would prove to be the last of the Wars of Religion that had been tearing the continent apart since the start of the Reformation in 1517."

The common, effective holocaust denial, triumphed by the opening line of NY Times writer John Steele Gordon's July 4, 2007 review of Tim Blanning's book "The Pursuit of Glory": Europe 1648-1815".

The "last" of such Wars of Religion ending in 1648?!

What, for a start, was the 20th century Holocaust of Europe's Jewish peoples?

What was what criminal apostate Utashe Croatia did to the Serbs?

What was World War 2?

And what about Wlodimir Ledochowski?

Who will write the first book about "Hitler's Black Pope"?

Wlodimir Ledochowski
26th Superior General of the Jesuit Order
February 11, 1915 - December 13, 1942

Wlodimir (Vladimir) Ledochowski's Spooky Obscurity

Here’s an indisputably significant yet obscure historical figure:

Wlodimir (Vladimir) or (Włodzimierz) Ledochowski, 26^th Superior General of the Jesuit Order from 1915 to 1942.

According to Tupper Saussy, Ledochowski's obituary in The New York Times stated that Ledchowski did “many great and important things” which future historians would write about

According to his premature (reportedly erroneously reported) New York Times obituary of December 10, 1942:

Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, who met Father Ledochowski in 1930, wrote later that "everyone in Rome I was told that Father Ledochowski would rank as one of the two or three greatest heads of the Jesuit Order," an estimate which would group him with such men as Ignatius Loyola, the first [Jesuit] general, Francisco Borgia, the third, and [Claudius] Aquaviva, the fifth.

Yet a man this influential, yet no books, no movies, no video. Nothing. Not even on many Roman Catholic sites, with his name curiously omitted from Jesuit sites.

Why might that be?
