FREDERICK H. FOX WITH MRS. FOX
. . . military man and educator

"Profile of an Educator"

["Editor's Notes" by his grandson, William B. Fox, former Major, USMCR. This web page first posted Jan 2012, my Extended Commentary provided below first posted 15 July 2012, last updated/amended 13 March 2014. As a style note, even though certain contemporary protocol directives say to use "COL" as the abbreviation for an Army colonel, I have decided to use the abbreviation "Col." because that is the abbreviation style used for Army officers at the official DoD web site at defense.gov (see example here), the official U.S. Army web site at army.mil (see example here), and by Stars and Stripes (see example here). Last but not least, it is also the style used in the U.S. Army article "American Troops Must Learn ABCs of Soldiering...So Says Col. Fox...", THE CAMP NEWS, June 16, 1943, reproduced below. The Times-Picayune article begins as follows:]

Frederick H. Fox has been leading a double life since the end of World War I.
It was not a Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde existence, but two legitimate careers -- professional soldier and engineering educator.
At present he is head of the School of Civil Engineering in Tulane University's College of Engineering, and commanding officer of the 4614th Logistical Division.
Col. Fox began half of his dual life role in 1917 as an officer candidate at Ft. Oglethorpe, Ga. This was the first officers' training camp in this country, which makes the colonel of the "90-day wonders" of the U.S. Army.

The second half of his double life began in September, 1920, when he became instructor in civil engineering at Kansas State College. He took the job after spending a restless postwar year as a highway locating engineer in his native state of Tennessee.
"Teaching was the last thing I wanted to do at that time," he says. "But Mrs. Fox (who was then Lorena Bates, his fiancee then) suggested I try it. If all went well we'd be married the following Christmas."
He tried it and he liked it. They were married during the Christmas holidays and his second life was launched.
Both of his lives have been lived simultaneously since then and will probably continue so until retirement. That will not happen at Tulane until 1959 and in the light of the present emergency will not happen soon to Commanding Officer Fox.

[Editor's Note: By "present emergency" the author probably means the Korean War which lasted from 25 June 1950 to 27 July 1953. This article was published in June 1951]


ATTENDED SORBONNE

After he was commissioned in the Corps of Engineers in 1917, Lt. Fox helped form and train the 319th Engineers at Camp Fremont, Calif. -- "the best specialist regiment the Army ever had."
After arriving in France the unit's first job was to build a camp at Brest-- a camp that eventually housed 40,000 men and built at the rate of 25 barracks a day.

[Editor's Note: My paternal grandfather worked closely with Smedley Butler, who later became a Major General and the most decorated U.S. Marine in history. He walked alongside Butler on the unusual reconnaissance and procurement mission of scoping out and carting away duckboards. According to Wikipedia "In October 1918, he [Butler] was promoted to the rank of brigadier general at the age of 37 and placed in command of Camp Pontanezen at Brest, France, a debarkation depot that funneled troops of the American Expeditionary Force to the battlefields. The camp had been plagued by horribly unsanitary, overcrowded and disorganized conditions. U.S. Secretary of War Newton Baker sent novelist Mary Roberts Rinehart to report on the camp. She later described how Butler tackled the sanitation issues. Butler began by solving the mud problem: "[T]he ground under the tents was nothing but mud, [so] he had raided the wharf at Brest of the duckboards no longer needed for the trenches, carted the first one himself up that four-mile hill to the camp, and thus provided something in the way of protection for the men to sleep on. General John J. Pershing authorized a duckboard shoulder patch for the units. This earned Butler another nickname, `Old Duckboard.' For his exemplary service he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal of both the United States Army and Navy and the French Order of the Black Star.]

Lt. Fox's next "assignment" was at the Sorbonne in Paris where he attended graduate school and received a liberal education from both the school and the city.
After the war he returned to his home at Chattanooga, worked in the Tennessee Highway Dept. and spent a year at Kansas State. It was there that he faced the most important decision of his life. He took and examination for a commission in the Regular Army. Before he had time to learn the result, he accepted a position as assistant professor of civil engineering at Tulane. Before he left for New Orleans he was notified that he placed 19th in a field of 900. Congress had commissioned him and if he would sign the oath of office he'd be in the Regular Army.

What to do? Sign or go to Tulane? He chose the latter.
But he couldn't keep out of the Army for long. In 1925 he was commissioned a captain in the 108th Cavalry of the Louisiana National Guard and became its commanding officer in 1940. In November of that year the unit was converted into an anti-aircraft battalion and wound up chasing Rommel in North Africa as part of the First Infantry Division.
As a result of the 105th Coast Artillery's outstanding record in this campaign, Lt.Col. Fox was promoted to colonel and sent back to the U.S. to train anti-aircraft battalions. The 105th blasted 52 Nazi planes from the skies in less than three months. Its commanding officer explained it this way:
"The Cajun duck shooters of the old 108th were responsible for the sharp-shooting record. They were used to wing shooting and knew all about leads. Every Nazi plane was just another big duck to them and they would let them have it with the .50 caliber machine gun just like they would blast away at a duck with a shotgun back home."

[Editor's Note: Because of his superlative combat efficiency, the Army transferred my grandfather out of the command of LtGen. George S. Patton back to the continental United States to serve out the war as an inspector of anti-aircraft units being readied for combat deployment. Before he left, Patton wrote a letter with "highest recommendations" stating that "Col. Fox is a fighting S.O.B." My grandfather used to joke that he was more proud of this "high complement" unique to Patton than any medals he ever received, to include the citation by the King of England depicted below which commended him for organizing a convoy of U.S. Army trucks on his own initiative which extracted a British unit threatened with encirclement by advancing German forces.
One can find an independent account of the exploits of my grandfather's 105th Coast Artillery command as experienced by a company-grade officer who served in it titled: The War Comes First; Lt. Col. Francis Carroll Grevemberg and the Development of a WW II AntiAircraft Artillery Officer (PDF) a Thesis by Robert Janous, University of New Orleans, 14 May 2010. This work mentions my grandfather about five times, starting with training in Louisiana, Texas, and California. During this training period we learn some interesting trivia, for example on page 12, my grandfather selects Grevemberg to train 350 "higher type" enlistees at Ft. Hulen, Texas, and on page 13, in regard to Mojave Desert training in California, Grevemberg wrote: "So, when headquarters told us to return to camp, `C' battery was the first to get out of the desert. On our arrival, General Patton and Colonel Fox were are the entrance of the camp. I rode in a big reconn car, and while passing them, I stood up and gave them a big salute."
This quote is significant to me, because it validates my grandfather's claim that he knew Patton from the time he trained in the Mojave Desert until the time he received a unique letter of recommendation from him (described again at the end of this article) when he returned to the States. However, he apparently did not come under Patton's direct command in North Africa until after the Battle of Kasserine Pass, when Patton relieved MajGen Lloyd Fredendall in March 1943 who had commanded the Central Task Force during the Operation Torch landings and the US II Corps during the Kasserine fiasco.
What was particularly remarkable about the 105th's combat record is the fact that various sources agree that the unit was provided inadequate training by the Army. The Hammer of Hell Chapter 3 — The Tunisian Campaign: The Tactical Situation by Colonel E. Paul Semmens, Reprinted from the ADA Magazine, observed:

"U.S. 40mm Bofors gun crew `covers all bets' outside the Municipal Casino in Algiers." (Caption source: "Kasserine Pass" by John Hamilton)

Kasserine Pass: North Africa Campaign Pits Inexperienced Antiaircraft Artillery Units Against Rommel’s Vaunted Afrika Corps (PDF) by John Hamilton, Air Defense Artillery, April-June 2005, also describes how the U.S. Army inadequately supported the training of the 105th Coast artillery, to include little or no tactical or maneuver warfare training, prior to its encounter with Rommel's highly experienced Afrika Korps in the Battle of Kasserine Pass.

This article describes the experiences of Battery D of the 105th Coast artillery which had eight Bofors guns, two commanded by 1LT Kenneth Madden and another six guns under CPT George Zorini. They encountered the brunt of the German attack in the Kasserine Pass and had to make several withdrawals. At one point, 200 Germans wearing captured American uniforms worked within hand grenade range of 1LT Madden's crew, forcing them to withdraw.
The article also describes how the 105 Coast Artillery helped play an important role in grinding the Axis advance to a halt and reversing it:

The Hammer of Hell, Chapter 4 — The Battle of Kasserine Pass: Four Days to Victory, by Colonel E. Paul Semmens, describes how my grandfather was actively involved in organizing and stiffening resistance by anti-aircraft assets during the battle.

My grandfather reminisced that one of the best success stories of his "Cajun Duck Shooter" took place when they and their allies inflicted a 100% loss on a Luftwaffe attack mission. The story is recounted in the article "American Troops Must Learn ABCs of Soldiering to Defeat Axis Armies," THE CAMP NEWS, June 16, 1943, reproduced further down this web page. The following is an excerpt:

When my grandfather told me this story over 45 years ago, he said that the Germans were not only coming in low to achieve greater precision bombing, but they were also trying to attack with the rising sun of the morning behind them to blind the American AA gunners who were defending aircraft parked on a makeshift airfield. The "low and slow" ground attack approach was used successfully by Hans Ulrich Rudel and other legendary German aces of WWII, but this time attacking pilots were in for a rude awakening when they encountered the Cajun Duck Shooters.
The War Comes First explains the importance of the 105th battalion in the overall North African campaign on page 35 [boldface added by myself] "During the Tunisian Campaign, the 105th Battalion's batteries were most often used to protect the field artillery battalions of the First Infantry Division against the German air attacks. The Battery "C" spent majority of the time protecting the 105mm guns of the 32nd Field Battalion. Grevemberg recalled: "If we had not been there, they [the guns] would have been wiped out because the German Stuka dive bombers would attack them several times each day. The Germans had air superiority for most of the Tunisian campaign and without the AAA protection, the [field] artillery would have been wiped out . . . The bad thing about Tunisia was the lack of AAA being needed. When the First Division was pulled out of the line, the Third Division would be put in their places and after a while the Third Division would be pulled from the line and the Ninth Division would replace them. The 105th AAA Battalion would stay in position and fight with each replacement division without being relieved. After the First Division was back up to strength, they would return to the line. It was always good to see our friends."
"American Troops Must Learn ABCs of Soldiering to Defeat Axis Armies," THE CAMP NEWS, June 16, 1943 also makes the point that the 40 mm anti-aircraft guns and .50 caliber machine guns were used to support offensive infantry combat operations by providing line-of-sight direct support artillery and "heavy weapon" machine gun support as well as guard against attacking aircraft:

It is worth noting that the Germans also used anti-aircraft guns to directly support ground operations. For example the "Flak 88" gun, originally conceived in the latter years of WWI as an improved AA weapon that fired a larger shell at higher velocity with a higher rate of fire in order to deliver more air burst fragmentation at higher altitudes, became quickly adapted by the German Army to engage ground targets. When loaded with armor-penetrating rounds, it become one of the Afrika Korps' primary anti-tank weapons. When loaded with fragmentation shells, it proved effective against infantry formations, and when loaded with high explosive shells, it proved effective against bunkers. In fact, the "88" was so effective as a direct fire weapon that it became the primary cannon of the Tiger Tank and other German main battle tanks.

In "The Hammer of Hell Chapter 4 — The Battle of Kasserine Pass: Four Days to Victory," Colonel E. Paul Semmens summarizes the importance of American anti-aircraft units and praises the leadership of the officers and NCO's in the 105th Coast Artillery:

So far in my research I have not come across anything derogatory about my grandfather's performance, in fact, I have uncovered quite a few indications that he seemed to show a lot of initiative and competence in contrast to the lack of intiative and the general incompetence attributed to MajGen Fredendall that caused the II Corps commander to get sacked over Kasserine. It is true that there was a general shake-up of Fredenhall's command, but it is also true that there was a desperate need to upgrade training of anti-aircraft units stateside and apply the lessons of Kasserine. My grandfather was probably reassigned to the States for the reasons that were explicitly stated, namely to address the urgent need to overhaul AAA training.

[And now back to the 1951 Times-Picayune article].

He returned to Tulane in November, 1945, and was named head of the school of civil engineering in 1946 when Donald Derickson retired.
Professor Fox's life as an engineering educator is just as full if not fuller than his military life. Every engineering graduate and architect from Tulane since 1921, except for the war years, has been exposed to Col. Fox's teaching. And they will tell you that they all bear the Fox trademark, which to their employers means "finished product."
The "coupling of theory and practice" is the teaching philosophy of Engineer Fox. He believes that every civil engineering graduate should have practical knowledge of his profession as well as theoretical.
That was why the engineering summer camp at Gurley, La. was created in 1916 -- the first of its kind in the South. For a month each year, the Tulane civil engineers get a practical workout under the command of the colonel. They locate branch line railroads, highways, and other major projects, and then go through every engineering step until completion.

During his years at Tulane, Professor Fox has served as engineer for all athletic facilities; designed and installed drainage for Tulane Stadium, tennis courts and other athletic fields; was in charge of the tennis programs for many years, served as faculty chairman of athletics; was director of student activities for a year, and has had numerous commissions as consulting engineer on special projects throughout the New Orleans area.
If there was such an award as "New Orleans' Most Ideal Couple" Col. and Mrs. Fox would win the title hands down. They are inseparable companions, sharing each other's interests in community, university, professional, cultural, sports, military and church life of New Orleans. Mrs. Fox accompanied her soldier husband wherever his war duties took him, except his overseas assignment.
They are the parents of two grown sons, Hewitt Bates, a petroleum geologist at Lake Charles, La., and William McNair, a civil engineering professor at Texas Tech.

[Editor's note: This is incorrect. My father, William McNair Fox, was an assistant professor teaching business management at Texas Tech. Also, in regard to the observation below, more grandchildren came later, including myself.]

Frederick H. Fox II, nine months, is the Fox's only grandchild.
You'll find both of young Frederick's grandparents at the 2000-acre Tulane engineering camp right now-- grandfather commanding his engineering "troops" and grandmother feeding the regiment.

American Troops Must Learn ABCs
of Soldiering to Defeat Axis Armies

So Says Colonel Fox of AA Who
Has Returned From African Front
-- Sees Long, Hard Struggle

THE CAMP NEWS
Wednesday, June 16, 1943

 

American soldiers fighting this global war must learn, remember and practice the A, B, C's of soldiering if they are to defeat the first string armies of the Axis. This is the terse summation of Lt.Col. Frederick H. Fox, who has returned to this country as Commanding Officer of the 57th Group, AAATC, following active participation in the successful invasion of North Africa. SEES LONG STRUGGLE Col. Fox says he cannot share the optimism displayed by so many Americans who profess to see German arms collapsing in defeat within a few months. He sees a long, hard struggle with the German Army fighting every inch of the way as the European invasion progresses, with the only hope for an early victory in a Nazi political disintegration, which he thinks unlikely. Therefore American soldiers, whom he likens to a freshman football team playing a mature, toughened varsity eleven, must learn and retain many things that the enemy has had a chance to acquire over years of training. BATTLE PROBLEMS VITAL The American soldier learns quickly and seldom repeats the same mistakes twice is Col. Fox's observation, although he stresses they should be given more simulated battle problems and maneuvers so they will learn to fight the "hard way." A veteran officer of the first World War, Col. Fox was recalled to active service in January, 1941, when he reported to Camp Hulen, Texas. During the ensuing 16 months he trained an AA Battalion that sent batteries to the [one or more lines of text is missing from the copy of the original newspaper clipping used for this web posting] with the heavier 40 mm's being landed the following morning, when AA protection was thrown up at the airports surrounding Oran. RIDDLED LUFTWAFFE After consolidating the Oran position, Col. Fox was ordered to Algiers to join forces with the British at Bougie and later Philippeville, thence to lower Tunisia and Thelepte where he was stationed during six weeks of intensive fighting with American AA units cooperating with the British. It was at Thelepte that Col. Fox and his AA batteries scored some of their most striking successes against the vaunted German Luftwaffe. At one time 10 JU 88's came over to bomb and strafe their position. The 40mm and 50-cal. machine guns operating in this sector accounted for nine of the ten planes, while the 10th was disposed of by British Spitfires. Col. Fox states that the 40's and 50's were tremendously effective against "strafing" planes that flew "in" 30 to 40 feet above the ground flying speeds of 350 to 400 miles an hour. DOWNED 49 PLANES It is definitely known that AA units at Thelepte accounted for 49 "downed" planes, and many more were listed in the "probable" column. American artillery fire was amazingly effective during the Tunisian campaign, Col. Fox states, and invariably brought high praise from British military leaders who often were astounded at the accuracy displayed by U.S. [one or more lines of text is missing from the copy of the original clipping used for this web posting] fire which proved so accurate it was continued, thus completely wiping out a battery of German 88's that had fallen within their range of fire. AA ON OFFENSIVE "I think AA action in Tunisia successfully dispels once and for all the myth that the anti-aircraft branch of the Army Ground Forces is just a defensive arm of the Service," Col. Fox says, "for the AA units who served in the North African campaign were constantly on the offensive, pushing into forward areas wherever American fighting men might be carrying the battle to the enemy." A resident of New Orleans, Col. Fox is a graduate of Ohio State University where he received a degree in Engineering, and later served as an Associate Professor. Entering the Army in 1917, he served in France with the Engineering Corps and later attended the Sorbonne in Paris. On March 18th of this year Col. Fox was ordered to return to the United States and, after making a 1,500 mile motor trip in Africa, he embarked at Casablanca for this country and his new command with the Anti-aircraft Training Center, Camp Edwards.

 

 

 

Editor's Extended Commentary

The Never-Ending Political War
on the Home Front

by William B. Fox

[First posted 15 July 2012,
last updated/amended 4 Jan 2014]

I think it is well worth my adding a number of personal reminiscences regarding my grandfather, Col. Frederick Fox. It is also worth discussing his wife (my paternal grandmother), Lorena Bates, and her brother (my great "uncle Creed") Col. Creed Fletcher Bates of Chattanooga, Tennessee who formed the "inner sanctum" of Col. Fox's life. Last but not least, at the risk of making numerous digressions regarding the true nature of various propaganda "matrices" that enshroud America today, I think it is well worth exploring why in retirement they became heavily preoccupied with trying to deal with various forms of nonstop psycho-political warfare attack against the most fundamental values embodied in the communities they had grown up in as children, all of which is very relevant to the ever growing police state and continually deteriorating society we find ourselves in today.
I have always viewed republican government at its roots as essentially an effort to adapt elements of the scientific method to governmental decision-making to make it more rational, responsive, transparent, and consistent. In an honest and viable society that has a republican form of government, voting citizens have a duty to stay on top of ultimate issues and challenge abuses of authority as well as various forms of criminal or incompetent behavior by their elected government officials.
Traditional America has always stood for the "citizen soldier" concept, which holds that Americans do not discard their responsibility to think independently once they don military uniforms, although military personnel are certainly more restricted than civilians in their ability to speak out on occasion for various "operational security"-related reasons and other justifications that include "good order and discipline." My article The First Amendment and the U.S. Military, dated Jan 1992, explains all of this in greater detail.
Consistent with the "citizen soldier" theme of this web page, my grandfather and other members of his "inner sanctum" were engaged in a heroic life-long struggle to grapple with deeper social and political realities in their efforts to perform their citizen duty to combat tyranny, corruption, incompetence, and high level treason. My grandfather felt strongly that his oath to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic did not stop when he took off his uniform upon retirement.
I think it is important to be able to interpret the real meaning of this oath not only on an abstract Constitutional law level, but also on a very basic sociobiological level. Since at least as far back as the dawn of Cro-Magnon Man tens of thousands of years ago, there has always been an implied collateral mission for those who accept the responsibilities of the warrior path, namely the warrior should not only protect his nation against violent invasion and foreign occupation, but also defend his own tribe from subtle forms of subversion that undermine its ability to determine its own destiny and survive as a distinct people. Or at least this has always been a common sense collateral mission for healthy, free, and autonomous tribes, as opposed to those that have been conquered, broken, and brainwashed by alien peoples who parasitically seek to invert healthy tribal morality with imperialist systems that suit their own special interests.
Although he was certainly "action-oriented," my grandfather believed strongly in tempering action with wisdom. Two of his favorite sayings were "The roads to hell are paved with good intentions" and "Discretion is the greater part of valor." He stressed thorough research and analysis of problems and meticulous preparation of operational plans to guard against rash and ineffective actions with unintended consequences.
A Tennessee version of all this (appropriate here since I refer to Tennessee and pioneers quite a lot later in this commentary) is "Be always sure you're right — THEN GO AHEAD!" -- a favorite motto of the pioneer, soldier, and U.S. Congressman from Tennessee named Davy Crockett.
One area that demonstrated my grandfather's desire to think for himself was his refusal to blindly go along with WWII Allied propaganda that preached unconditional hatred towards Germans. He was willing to give his former enemies credit where it was due based upon his personal experiences. As one example, my grandfather recounted a situation where he was being bombed and strafed. A German fighter plane circled around where my grandfather was standing, close enough so that my grandfather could see the pilot in the cockpit. My grandfather started shooting at him with his .45 automatic pistol. In response, the German pilot made a chivalrous gesture to my grandfather, like a wave or salute, and then winged away. That chivalrous gesture always remained firmly embedded in his memory.
The following excerpt from the Wikipedia article on Erwin Rommel may help explain the pilot's behavior. "The Afrika Korps were never accused of any war crimes, and Rommel himself referred to the fighting in North Africa as Krieg ohne Hass — war without hate. Numerous examples exist of Rommel's chivalry towards Allied POWs, such as his defiance of Hitler's infamous Commando Order following the capture of Lt. Roy Woodridge and Lt. George Lane as part of Operation Fortitude. He also refused to comply with Hitler's order to execute Jewish POWs."
My grandfather also felt a strong desire to act in a professional, civilized, and chivalrous manner "without hate," just like his former Afrika Korps adversaries. He never expressed any of the utterly sick and vicious forms of hatred against Germans that are portrayed in the video "David Duke on the film `Inglorious Basterds.'" In fact, quite to the contrary, my grandfather always respected and admired Germans as fellow soldiers and on many other levels as well.
The last name "Fox" comes from the German "Fuchs," and my grandfather was not only descended from German immigrants to America, but he also had a direct ancestor who was a member of the Austrian lower nobility who had served on the military command staff of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. When my great uncle Col. Creed F. Bates from Tennessee crossed paths with my grandfather a couple of times while on active duty during World War II, he said that quite a fellow officers behind scenes remarked that my grandfather exuded the air of a "soldier's soldier" and a "perfect Prussian officer."
My grandfather maintained a large library of professional military reading in his home in New Orleans, to include a number of books about the aristocratic German general staff. My grandfather clearly had a reverence for the "profession of arms" very similar to what Col. Trevor N. Dupoy describes in his book A Genius for War: The German Army and General Staff, 1807-1945, where Dupoy tries to explain historical, sociological, and other factors to account for results of war game studies showing that man-for-man, with all things kept equal, der Wehrmacht consistently demonstrated superior combat efficiency compared to all rivals throughout World War II.
Typical of the head of a traditional German family, my grandfather remained in character with a certain emotional distance and bearing in his home life, although he by no means ever demonstrated any behavior as extreme as the portrayal of Georg Ludwig von Trapp at the beginning of the The Sound of Music where the former naval Captain of the Austro-Hungarian Empire blows a military whistle and lines up his sons and daughters in formation. However, whenever my grandfather used the word "Army" he always had a certain reverent emphasis in his voice that echoed similar traditional popular sentiments towards "Das Heer" back in the old country.
In fact, the only time he ever wrote me a personal letter was when he commended me after I earned a commission as a Second Lieutenant out of Marine Corps Officer Candidates School. But even then, probably half in jest, he commented that some day I might want to step up to the real military and transfer into the Army. I responded, half in jest, that funny thing, the Marines say the exact same thing to entice qualified members of other branches of the Armed Forces to transfer into the Marine Corps. But I never interpreted his lack of correspondence as a form of rejection, but rather just his natural form of aloofness. In fact, when around him in person, he was often very complementary. A nickname he gave me from the time I was a small kid was the "White Hope."
My grandfather visited Germany a number of times and used a Volkswagen as an additional personal get-around car back home in America. There was also a place in Chattanooga worth mentioning where his German background really shined, and whose eventual closure symbolized ominous transitions in American society also worth some extended discussion.
Whenever my parents and grandparents were in downtown Chattanooga while I was a kid, they would usually always make it a point to "rendezvous at the Rat" for lunch or dinner. ("Rat" in German means "council" and is applied to meeting places such as a "Rathaus" or "Ratskeller" and has nothing to do with furry little rodents). The Ratskeller which then existed in downtown Chattanooga was the most cozy, atmospheric, and "authentic" meeting place that I have ever experienced, more so than even a number of historic beer halls I have patronized in Munich, Germany. Unfortunately it closed in 1970, and the building has since been razed, as noted in the article Remembering the Rathskeller, Sunday, March 20, 2005, by Harmon Jolley, chattanoogan.com, however, this article also points out that quite a few people to this day retain fond memories of what became a Chattanooga legend with absolutely outstanding food and decor.
This Rathskeller was founded in 1935 by a German immigrant, Albert Schlickling from Saarbrucken, who put his heart and soul into the place. It was a major meeting center of the German-American community in Chattanooga, during a time in America when northern-European ethnic groups were still enjoying a steady flow of immigrants from the old country who continuously revitalized European cultural ties.
Let me digress for a moment to discuss how the sociological lifeblood of the German-American community in Chattanooga that supported this Rathskeller -- not to mention other European ethnic communities across America with their own distinctive cultural centers -- eventually got cut off. It began in the mid-1960's with forced race-mixing laws and and major immigration policy changes orchestrated by the ADL and other major Jewish organizations. These Jews were supported by "useful idiot"-type Liberal Minority Coalition allies such as the Irish Catholic leader Senator Teddy Kennedy and the Italian Catholic counterparts in that era to the more recent phenomenon of "Rudy Giuliani" of "9/11 inside job" fame. All of this was part of a longstanding Democratic Party political pattern that goes back to the 19th century in which Jews used Irish Catholics and Italian Catholics as their principle muscle and front men to run utterly corrupt big city political machines in places like New York City and Chicago. These front men did an excellent job of pooh-poohing conspiracy facts as conspiracy theories. They camouflaged the steady Jewish rise in financial, economic, and political power while unsuspecting WASPs in the heartland were falsely led to believe that their good-natured works alone were sufficient to return America to the enlightened principles of the Thomas Jefferson era. In addition, these petty greedy, not-too-bright, glad-handing, rent-seeking, mafia-like Irish Catholic and Italian Catholic front and muscle men continually shrugged their shoulders, drowning their worries at local pubs rather than attempting to think too hard about long term implications, and swept everything under the rug as the steady drum beat of Jewish aggression -- from creating the privately owned Federal Reserve central bank -- to monopolizing Hollywood and other major media -- to taking command of all major vice industries and organized crime operations -- to shanghaiing America into WWI -- to taking down Russia with bloody Bolshevism -- to committing endless other outrages -- all these things continued to flash EXTREME DANGER! RED ALERT! signals that ordinarily would have moved most responsible and civic-minded WASPs to action.
(This Jewish-Catholic alliance becomes easier to understand when one considers not only significant sociological differences between Irish and Italian Catholics compared to WASPs that I cover in my Pat Buchanan section on my Reconciling Libertarianism and Nationalism web page, but also in view of how the Rothschilds and other elite Jews have been major managers for the Vatican's finances in recent centuries, as noted by Mike Piper in The New Babylon. In addition quite a few Popes and their highest advisors have been either Jews or crypto-Jews in the history of the Roman Catholic Church. Although it is true that in various historical eras leaders of the Catholic Church have turned against the Jews and severely circumscribed their criminal activities or have even expelled them, in other eras the highest levels of the Church have been thoroughly infested and corrupted by these aliens).
Then came the 1960's, when the treasonous Jewish-Catholic alliance opened up the floodgates of Third World immigration, and brought us to to the very tragic situation we find ourselves in today where whites have dropped from 90% of the total population in the 1960's down to where whites are now a "soon to be" minority, given that most Americans under age 30 are now non-whites. Not surprisingly, because America now has the demographics of a Third World country, it now also has all the same kinds of social, political, and economic problems which commonly plague Third World countries -- most of which were hardly visible in America in the 1960's.
The "Dispossessed Majority" described by Wilmot Robertson in his classic work by this same name (free PDF download page Here, Amazon listing Here) has now gone from not only being dispossessed, to also being genocided, particularly now that the Nordic percentage of the total population in America has declined from somewhere around 60% in the mid to late 19th century to less than 16% today. (Please see my web page regarding anti-WASP/Nordic genocide here). And yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is no exaggeration to call this treason. In fact, it is not only treason, but a crime against humanity conducted against my own people by fifth columnists in America.
In any event, back in that barely remembered era in American history (prior to the mid-1960's) when Germanic peoples were not shut off from immigrating to America in favor of swarms of Russian Jewish "mafiya" criminals and miscellaneous swarms of swarthy featherless bipeds from the most exotic reaches of this planet who started pouring into America between the late 1960's up until today, the Rathskeller in Chattanooga had quite a few blond, buxom German-accented waitresses and was often frequented by people who spoke German at the tables and engaged in pick-up sing-alongs in their native tongue to the tune of live piano and accordion music.
The inability or unwillingness of the last owners of the Rathskeller (who bought it from the original founder in 1960) to perpetuate their Chattanooga "institution" by closing it in 1970 is highly symbolic to me, because this coincides with the accelerating evil impact of not only the aforementioned immigration policy changes, but many other negative trends that were gathering force. These trends served as coffin nails for the highly productive WASP society that had once built America in the 19th century and had created the greatest industrial base with the highest standard of living and the highest level of personal freedom in the world.
I provide deeper commentary on these "coffin nails" on other web pages. For example, on my Chernobyl web page I comment:

If someone wants to rebuild American industry, cutting off German immigration does not make any sense because Germans have always had superior worker productivity and a special talent relative to other white ethnic groups for industrial engineering. On the other hand, if the real motivation of a totally corrupt and malevolent power elite over America is to sabotage this country, then cutting off German immigration makes perfect sense.
Another excellent idea to really hurt America good and hard is to take the last remaining economic seed corn of America which once consisted of tens of trillions of dollars of savings from the "greatest generation" through the "baby boom" generation and squander it all on financial speculation and useless wars overseas rather than rebuild America's industry -- and this is exactly what high level malefactors have done as well. They have been running up all forms of debt on all levels and are still running "weapons of mass financial destruction" (Warren Buffet's expression for "derivatives") to the moon and beyond.
Scandinavian-Americans -- typically viewed as "the WASPiest of the WASPs"-- have always been particularly talented in long range operational planning and execution, and squeezing them out is also a fine idea for saboteurs out to completely wreck America. In Appendix A in Part VI of my Oslo-Utoya 7-22 series I describe the longstanding tendency of Jews and certain Catholic allies to squeeze them out in America. In Appendix B I explain how the Protestant Work Ethic -- spearheaded by WASPs -- was a major factor that once built this country. I also talk about how "Nordic" does not necessarily have anything to do with authoritarian or jack-booted forms of "Nazism," in fact quite to the contrary the Nordic peoples have had a better track record for creating and sustaining viable republican, democratic, and parliamentary forms of government that are respectful of human rights than any other racial or ethnic groups on this planet. They are also particularly talented in entrepreneurial endeavors that require a high level of personal initiative. Entrepreneurial companies are typically the well-spring of new job creation and real productivity gains in a vibrant economy.
Last, but not least, I cover Dr. Lothrop Stoddard's explanation in his chapter Alpinized Germany from his classic work Racial Realities in Europe (1924) which makes the very important point about how German institutions became increasingly authoritarian as the percentage of Nordics in Germany declined, particularly during the catastrophic Thirty Years War of the 17th century.
Dr. Stoddard began his chapter on Germany with the following somber commentary:

No doubt there was quite a lot taking place on many different levels in America around the time frame that the Rathskeller was closed in 1970, and I do not have space to go into all it here, except to make three other important points before moving on.
First, there is a very strong likelihood that the Mossad and its City of London-New York City - Tel Aviv overlords were the principle ringleaders behind the JFK assassination, as documented by Michael Collins Piper in his classic work Final Judgment. In other words, beginning in the early 1960's, America was clearly in the clutches of utterly ruthless men willing to gun down a U.S. President in broad daylight to get what they wanted for alien interests. Or to paraphrase Dr, Lothrop Stoddard from the quote I have just provided from his chapter "Alpinized Germany," it would appear that America was now obeying the commands of an alien and criminal "masterful ruling minority" -- with innate values completely antithetical to those held by the kinds of WASPs who successfully built America in the 19th century.
As a second point, John Kaminsky notes in his article "The J Word" that "The Holocaust of World War II is an utter fabrication that was not really invented in full until the 1960s, when it began to be used as a PSYOP after the first Kennedy assassination." Jewish organizations and Jewish-controlled media "doubled down" on their efforts to intensively brainwash the American public with their "Holocaust" PSYOP concept in an effort to promote even more white guilt, more white self-hatred, even more anti-Germanism, and fraudulently soak Germany even further for reparations based on grossly exaggerated fatality figures for Jewish deaths and other forms of suffering in internment camps during WWII. Prior to WWII, Jewish groups had repeatedly exploited the creepy Kabbalistic and occult 6,000,000 numerological figure to exaggerate Jewish victimization claims and earn undeserved sympathy, but now the anti-German hate propaganda of WWII would be extended into a full blown secular synthetic religion for the masses around the world, complete with punishment of all real or perceived "heretics," as noted by Michael Collins Piper in his Preface "The Cult of Death" and Willis Carto in his Afterword "Why Is the Holocaust Important? for the book Best Witness. Please also see Chapter 34 Saving Dr. Toben, Handling Real Nazis, and Countering the Holocaustianity Intellectual Blackjack in my Mission of Conscience series where I try to sort out the facts from the disinformation regarding "Shoah Business."
The third point involves the strong likelihood that the psychedelic revolution and counter culture of the 1960's were both heavily promoted by Mossad-CIA-MI6 and their major media allies, ultimately controlled by the the UK monarchy and Rothschilds/City of London. See, for example, the web overview page for Dope, Inc.: Britain's Opium War Against the U.S; The Book That Drove Kissinger Crazy or LSD, the CIA, and the rise of the counterculture, richardbrenneman. wordpress. com, 5 May 2010.
I think that Mossad-CIA-MI6 had many different kinds of motivations on many different levels for popularizing drug culture beginning in the 1960's, ranging from making profits over new forms of drug trade to fulfilling a nihilistic desire to disorient America's youth and make it less capable of having the sense of European-based cohesion and identity necessary to rise up and break the power of America's Zio-overlords. (One of the ancient rules of tribal warfare is to be publicly left wing and to promote decadence towards people outside ones own tribe to get them to drop their guard, while at the same time privately encouraging right wing indigenous identity among the members of ones own tribe to strengthen its sense of cohesion, purpose, and self-discipline). The kind of German-American community which would support a successful Rathskeller in Chattanooga, with its healthy sense of "folk values," would certainly be high on the target list of Zionist enemies.
The following articles at aangirfan.blogspot.com provide helpful additional background on the global drug mafia:

It is on record that Mossad-CIA-MI6 uses U.S. Marines in the current Afghan War to guard opium fields in Afghanistan for their global drug trade, and that an important reason for the Vietnam War was to also secure opium in the Golden Triangle. Mossad-CIA-MI6 used the cadavers of U.S. military personnel who were killed during the Southeast Asia War in the 1960's and 1970's to smuggle opium into the U.S.A.
In other words, we are talking about hard core parasitic subversion of America by global mafia such as the Rothschilds/City of London who hate people like the Germans for their basic honesty and productivity. In fact, they are so sick and evil that they really do not seem to like humanity in general very much, which may help explain the wanton use of depleted uranium and other radiation poisons since 1990 that have been driving up rates of sterility, mutations, and miscellaneous other diseases around the planet. Please see my Leuren Moret archive and discussion of U.S. nuclear power plant contamination for more details on global depopulation through radiation warfare.
Getting back to the Chattanooga Rathskeller, Albert Schlickling was clearly a man who loved his native Germany and wanted to bring its wholesome strengths to America. He tried to accomplish through his restaurant something analogous to the effort by Walt Disney to bring the happier sides of German culture to America with his Cinderella Castle and animations of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and other Germanic fables.
In addition to the accouterments mentioned in Remembering the Rathskeller, I remember colorful streaming banners, ornate wood carvings and other relics with medieval German themes, and wall-sized 1930's-era posters or paintings of beautiful frauleins holding mugs of beer set against majestic snow-covered mountain backdrops still perceptible through a slight haze of cigarette smoke. It also had a large model of what most people today think of as the "Budweiser-Clydesdales Beer Wagon."
The place attracted people from all walks of life in Chattanooga and was usually packed. It had a certain vibrancy to it, like a nonstop Oktoberfest, a place where one just off from work could get down to some serious partying and really unwind. Once we were seated at a table, I could tell my Großvater was in his element. Among other things, he delighted in reciting Die Lorelei in German by heart over a frothing stein of beer. One could easily become mentally transported to the Germany extolled by the 19th century romantic nationalists, with the brilliant High Culture of the late Middle Ages. The Germany of the charming Hansel and Gretel cottages and fairy tale castles, that went on to produce a disproportionate number of the world's greatest classical music composers and became a dynamic world leader in science, technology, and industry.
I can read between the lines and surmise that deep down inside my grandfather felt that both World War I and World War II were horrific tragedies rather than "holy wars," and his role in both wars basically just involved the performance of grim duties demanded of him by his country. While he stated that he was not a big admirer of Adolf Hitler, he never voiced any pleasure about hurting Germans on the battlefield either. In fact my grandfather remarked on a many occasions that he viewed war in and of itself as an extremely serious and inherently cruel and destructive matter full of unintended consequences -- not to be taken lightly or undertaken willy-nilly.
This, incidentally, was a sentiment also voiced to me by his brother-in-law, Col. Creed F. Bates of Chattanooga. Col. Bates served in the U.S. Army in both World War I and WWII as a reservist brought on active duty, having pursued a civilian career as the principal at Chattanooga High School. While growing up, I would often stay at his large two-story log cabin which served as home for a gentleman farmer's estate on Signal Mountain, Tennessee during the summers along with my parents, paternal grandparents, and other relatives.
The two Southern colonels (my grandfather Col. Frederick Fox and great uncle Col. Creed Bates) remained very close friends all their lives. As the saying goes, "old soldiers don't die, they just fade away," and that is what both of them did together. They were good at keeping people entertained around them with insightful comments and witty humor. I retain a fond, Norman Rockwell-like portrait in my mind of these two retired, patrician-like "citizen-soldiers" sitting near each other in rocking chairs of the log cabin porch sipping home-made cider (or beer in the case of my grandfather). They not only discussed social and political topics between themselves, but frequently included in their conversations other retired military officers and various Chattanooga-area professionals and other bigwigs who were always dropping by, often sharing their concerns about America going to hell. To complete my portrait, members of this continuing forum could look out from their "eagle's nest" on top of Signal Mountain over a long well-kept lawn that included split-rail and stone fences towards a valley off in the distance.
Somewhat paradoxically, the discussions that what went on between the colonels and their friends on the porch were almost tame compared to the lengthy discussions by my grandmother Lorena (pictured above, the wife of Col. Fox and the sister of Col. Bates) at the supper table and elsewhere inside the house. She was a leader of the John Birch Society chapter in New Orleans, and kept large stacks of the Congressional Record wherever she went. (She also subscribed to numerous "patriot" publications, for example, she became an avid follower of The SPOTLIGHT which was founded in 1975, and was recreated in 2001 as The American Free Press). She was forever monitoring the activities of elected officials and continually firing off complaint letters. She kept us well briefed on the latest news about the Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, and other nefarious globalist organizations, and it almost goes without saying that she also tracked Communist subversion around the world. In addition to all this, she was certainly no great fan of the United Nations, which she correctly viewed as a diabolical instrument which ultimately aimed to destroy national sovereignty everywhere (with the exception of Israel) and move the world towards global dictatorship. (Thanks to Alex Jones videos like Endgame: Blue Print for Global Enslavement (2009) (2:19:30), the exposure of U.N. Agenda 21 global depopulation schemes by lady activists such as the late Joan Veon and the still living radiation expert Leuren Moret, and the publication of works like The New Babylon: Those Who Reign Supreme; The Rothschild Empire: The Modern-Day Pharisees, and the Historical, Religious, and Economic Origins of the New World Order by Michael Collins Piper, millions of Americans are finally beginning to wake up and realize that the United Nations and other creatures of the New World Order are really not their friends after all.)
While I believe that my grandmother had a good heart and was always very well-intentioned, if I were to critique her views, my first comment would be that in many areas she wasn't far enough to the right. For example, Dr. Revilo Oliver, one of the co-founders of the John Birch Society, (archived at revilo-oliver.com) later left JBS and wrote about how the society had been hijacked from within to provide a form of "limited hang-out." That is, at the same time that JBS members were encouraged to focus on the "global communist conspiracy," they were simultaneously strenuously discouraged (often upon threat of expulsion) from discussing the key Jewish role behind the creation and spread of Bolshevism, and the key role that Jews play today in manipulating Congress, major media, and the privately owned Federal Reserve central bank. The Table of Contents for The Judas Goats by Michael Collins Piper lists Chapter Twenty-Two: The John Birch Society: A Premier Case Study of The Judas Goat where the reader can find more details on the hijacking of JBS.
Once in a while my grandmother switched gears and discussed historical topics, such as the terrible suffering her mother endured as a young girl in Tennessee when Unionist cutthroats of the American Lenin dictatorship marched through during the War of Northern Aggression Against Southern Independence and burned down or stole just about everything, and then installed totally corrupt carpetbagger regimes run by criminals and illiterate former negro slaves during the so-called "Reconstruction" era. My grandmother had grown up amidst quite a few still-living Confederate Army veterans, many of whom were crippled for life. A number of family members had even been killed or unjustly imprisoned during the war or misnamed "Reconstruction" era. Sometimes my grandmother became so impassioned about these kinds of topics and started hammering home her points home so vehemently that my grandfather would start waving has hand parallel to his face, the old Army firing range signal for "Cease Fire!" They would both then chuckle and the conversation would move on to something else.
My grandmother's intensity of feeling reminds me of the anecdote told by Sam Dickson in Shattering the Icon of Abraham Lincoln about the mother of the later President Harry S. Truman:

To her credit, my grandmother was in fact a very talented conversationalist. After marrying my grandfather and moving to New Orleans, one of her big aims in life was to become a social lioness. Born and raised a Tennessee "country girl" descended from hard-shell Protestant English and Scottish pioneers, she managed to become an active member of the leading social clubs that host Mardis Gras. In many ways her life was a Southern variation on the "Unsinkable Molly Brown" theme (a character study featured in a 1960 Broadway Musical and 1964 movie about an ambitious pioneer girl from the hinterlands of Colorado who tries to make it among the social elite in the big bad city of Denver, with the episode where she survives the Titanic sinking as a motif for her resolute and winning spirit) applied instead to a Tennessee girl from "God's Country" who has gone off to the wicked city of New Orleans.
My grandmother's brother, my great uncle Creed, was a big social lion in Chattanooga just as his sister was very active in New Orleans. He belonged to all the major civic and charitable organizations, and once was even made the honorary marshall of a downtown parade on a specially designated "Creed Bates Day." Col Bates was something of a staunch egalitarian as well as an avid church goer who bent over backwards to cultivate local mountain people, to include working class folks as well as professional people. He idolized longstanding residents of eastern Tennessee as brother and sister fellow descendants of the pioneers. Often banjo, fiddle, and guitar players would drop by who jammed with country music. My great uncle held frequent social gatherings for civic organizations at his mountain home, and gave away free apple cider, corn, and other food he produced on his farm to almost all visitors.
My great uncle Creed was also a local county historian and liked to discuss early Americana, to include sharing stories about his father, Lafayette W. Bates, Esquire. His father had grown up on a farm near Chattanooga. He was too young to get drafted into the Confederate Army, however, he could remember laying down his plow as a young lad while working the family farm and hearing the constant thundering of cannon fire from the Battle of Missionary Ridge off in the distance. Beginning sometime during the 1870's, my great grandfather decided he want to find adventure and his fortune in the West. For a period of about ten years he wound up roaming by himself on horseback in virtually every state west of the Mississippi except Minnesota. He did a little bit of everything -- from hunting buffalo to panning for gold to standing in as a teacher for one of his brothers who ran a college near San Francisco -- before returning to Chattanooga to settle down and prosper as a self-taught lawyer and judge. The log cabin where I stayed in the summers was originally built by Lafayette Bates and was filled with many interesting 19th century curios, to include the Winchester lever-action rifle he had carried with him during his Western adventures. A 16 mm home movie that depicts my white-haired great grandparents hobbling out from the log cabin shortly before they passed away in their early 90's has to be one of the best expressions of "American Gothic" I have ever seen. Judge Bates has this eagle-like glower in his eyes and slightly downturned lips. My great grandfather was a very hard man, a strict disciplinarian with a totally no-nonsense attitude towards law enforcement and an uncompromising sense of moral rectitude that is completely missing most everywhere in America today. His wife, Jane Lloyd Bates, taught Sunday School every week for fifty years without fail. They were definitely products of a very different era in American history when life was generally hard, especially before the advent of electricity and modern conveniences.
Like father, like son in the case of my Uncle Creed. In fact, some ways my Uncle Creed was like an American counterpart in mental toughness to Gen. Patton's description of Russians, as noted in Patton On Communism And The Khazar Jews, General Patton's Warning, Edited by Raquel Baranow, dated 18 Feb 2009:

My great Uncle Creed frequently gave one the impression of the hard-fisted strength and virility of a recently urbanized Tennessee pioneer. As one example, when I showed up in the summer with my parents, part of the welcome aboard package involved a good hard slug in the shoulder and comment that I am just a spoiled brat from the city. (During the school year in the fall, winter, and spring, I went to a very secular, cosmopolitan, and liberal grade school affiliated with the University of Florida in Gainesville, where my father was a professor, which was almost like living on totally different planet compared to what I encountered in Tennessee). But I never took any treatment by my Uncle Creed as being malicious, but rather as a remnant of the pioneer culture described by Teddy Roosevelt in his classic work The Winning of the West. Roosevelt noted that the Western expansion really did not get moving until colonists fully developed rough and ready pioneer cultures in their western territories by the mid 18th century.
It was a truly wonderful environment to grow up in, providing profound resonance with the early America of the pioneers and the Founding Fathers, almost like a living mini-Smithsonian Museum. Without question, it greatly deepened the emotional impact on me as a kid when I saw movie characters like Jimmy Stewart's interpretation of a mountain man in How The West Was Won when it was first released in the Cinerama format in 1962, a classic film that some critics call "America's answer to Leni Riefenstahl" and "a latter-day ode to Manifest Destiny." It has also deepened my sense of awe and appreciation when I read real life accounts about the incredible bravery demonstrated by the Virginia militia that went clear across what is now the state of West Virginia to win the Battle of the Great Kanawha in 1774 along the banks of the Ohio River (some historians have interpreted this as the first battle of the American Revolution), or the "Overmountain Men" from the Watauga Association of eastern Tennessee who played a key role in winning the pivotal Battle of King's Mountain, or the dauntless courage shown by Lewis and Clark in their successful exploration venture clear across the continent to the Pacific Northwest. These noble men in buckskin exemplified steely determination and pure guts and valor.
I certainly met a lot of really interesting people and overhead quite a few really fascinating conversations. In fact, in some ways it may have been too wonderful, to the extent that this environment mainly involved honorable, manly, and chivalrous people consistent with heroic indigenous Northern European cultures, and hence it did not help me fully comprehend the alien traits and criminal psychopathology of gangster cabals that have been growing like cancers in America, such as the Mossad-CIA-related wise guys documented by Michael Collins Piper in Final Judgment who orchestrated the JFK assassination, or the Zionist neo-con traitors documented by Piper in High Priests of War who have shanghaied America into disastrous Middle Eastern and Central Asian military adventures. Let us not forget the breathless arrogance and greed of Goldman Sachs and other Zionist bankers who have extorted tens of trillions of dollars out of Congress since 2008, nor the strong evidence that Mossad operatives recklessly unleashed the Stuxnet virus at Fukushima -- where melted-down reactors are still spewing radiation into the atmosphere and ocean, poisoning America and most of the rest of the Northern Hemisphere as well. These parasitic punks stop at nothing to marginalize and squeeze out whatever is left of the heroic culture of 19th century WASP America, and in its place spread moral disorder and criminality everywhere.
In many ways the pioneers became victims of their early successes against their relatively primitive and high physical enemies consisting of Indian tribes and the conventional warfare tactics used by British soldiers. They were completely unprepared to handle what I call "covert 4th generation warfare tactics" employed by the Jewish tribe that came in from behind in major urban centers like New York and Chicago later in the 19th century, backed up by Rothschild / City of London control of the Bank of England. (See more discussion of these "Mongols of Covert 4th Generation Warfare" in Chapter 38 of my Mission of Conscience series). Unlike the Cherokee Indians that pioneers fought in the greater Chattanooga area during the Chickamauga Wars, Jews hide behind business suits rather than trees, and wage psycho-political warfare attacks through their control of mass media rather than by shooting arrows and throwing spears. They make money through international crime organizations like Dope, Inc and major money center banks that dispossess people of their homes through mortgage fraud rather than attack pioneer wagon trains or loot homesteads. They infiltrate and take over strategic bases in white society such as central banks by paying off politicians behind the scenes rather than creep up through the bushes, throw tomahawks, and assault their victims directly. They also try to shock us into submission through Mossad-CIA-MI6 false flag attacks like the "9/11 inside job" and by ramming through "Patriot Act"-type police state provisions to supposedly protect us against a make-believe "Al Qaeda" enemy rather than try to crush us by burning down whole settlements and scalping all the men, women, and children inside. One has to come up with a whole new set of tactics compared to what 19th century pioneers successfully used to handle hostile Indians to deal with the unique danger posed by the self-anointed and self-Chosen International Master Criminal Race of Old Yahweh.
My grandfather's military career foreshadowed this unique evil that we experience today, particularly in the way that he was maneuvered into fighting fellow Germanic kinsmen in both WWI and WWII. (Please see my article Thomas Jefferson and the "Incredible Truth" about Bush Cabal Wise Guys and False Flag Nukes, dated 30 Sept 2007, for some background on how America got tricked into entering WWI).
When back at their home in New Orleans, my grandparents lived in a large, white, multi-storied, Victorian-style house near Audubon Park and Tulane University. My grandmother was a member of both the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Daughters of the American Revolution in addition to serving as the leader of the local John Birch Society chapter. Her living room looked like a set from Gone With the Wind. It included crushed red velvet furniture, an overhanging chandelier, and a large painting of her mother Jane Lloyd (the wife of Judge Bates), dressed like a Southern belle, who as previously mentioned had personally witnessed the horrors of the War Against Independence and Carpetbagger Occupation. Elsewhere in the house were pictures of Confederate leaders like Robert E. Lee and Jeb Stuart, all of whom my un-Reconstructed grandmother admired as "gallant" and "dashing."
Once my grandfather told me that sometimes he had second thoughts about the other side of his dual career as college professor, because if he had accepted the Regular Army commission and been able to better focus his life he probably would have been a shoo-in for making Brigadier General or higher. But then again, he did not regret how his civilian career exposed him to other important important sides of life that he probably would have missed as a "Regular."
However, sometimes experiencing the "civilian side" also provided an education on the seamier sides of America. For example, my grandfather recounted an episode where "The Kingfish" Gov. Huey Long ordered him to mount out his Louisiana national guard unit to bust up a gambling operation that apparently was not making adequate contributions to the "deduct box."
In view of this background, it may not be surprising that my grandfather admired Gen. George Patton (who as a "Virginian" definitely qualified as a "fellow Southerner") and apparently got along with him very well, although he expressed some disdain for Patton's overabundant use of profane language. One of his most vivid recollections of Patton was during an officer's orientation session after his battalion arrived at the Mojave Desert for its final phase of advanced training before overseas deployment. Instead of giving a usual friendly and hospitable "welcome aboard to a new band of brothers-in-arms"-type orientation talk (such as what I typically experienced at various peacetime U.S.M.C. commands during my periods of active service as a Marine officer), Patton was very stern and demanding from the very beginning of his speech. This really shocked many of my grandfather's fellow officers. Patton basically said words to the effect that only way Americans would win the war was to hold a very aggressive fighting spirit, continuously show initiative, and be on the offensive whenever and wherever possible. If any officers in the orientation room had serious objections to his approach, he wanted them to get the hell out of his command right now.
I sense that my grandfather and Patton shared a similar "gut" on quite a few issues besides military affairs. In regard to Patton's social and political views, while serving as a Military Governor of Bavaria after the end of WWII, Patton refused to go along with the Morgenthau Plan originally proposed by a Jewish Secretary of the Treasury that would have resulted in the deaths of perhaps 20 million more Germans if it had been fully implemented. He also saved an enormous number of lives by sending German prisoners of war home rather that go along with the "Eisenhower Death Camp" schemes described by James Bacque in Other Losses.
After surveying the devastation wreaked on Germany and the looming Soviet threat, Patton commented in a letter to his wife "The Germans are the only decent people left in Europe." Even Winston Churchill observed: "We killed the wrong pig!"
In regard to my own activities as a former U.S. Marine Corps Major, all of this may help explain why I am currently more interested in fighting the "Info War" through alternative media to reduce as much as possible propaganda manipulation of fellow Americans than feel any great desire to rush off to every "shoot 'em up" military misadventure around the world orchestrated by very corrupt, malevolent, and alien "power elites" who have hijacked this country. For more regarding my own views related to the "Info War" (or "Nameless War") and the current status of both America and its hijackers, please see my author archive and my Mission of Conscience series. Please do not miss my analysis of the horrific ongoing Fukushima radiation assault on America, probably instigated by Mossad-CIA-MI6 through its Stuxnet virus, as well my discussion of the Oslo-Utoya 7-22 false flag attack against my Norwegian kinsmen (on my mother's side of the family).
In The First Amendment and the U.S. Military I describe the historic cases of BGen. William Mitchell, MajGen. Smedley Butler, Gen. George Patton, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, and MajGen Edwin "Ted" Walker as examples of leading military figures who also figured out that America was getting hijacked in their own era and felt as a matter of conscience they needed to try to do something about it. I also mention strong evidence presented in the book Target: Patton: The Plot to Assassinate General George S. Patton by Robert K. Wilcox that Patton was assassinated by O.S.S. intelligence operatives ultimately working for the U.S.-UK establishment to shut him up forever.
Unfortunately the faith held by my grandparents and my great uncle Creed Bates in which they felt that solid civic service and appeals to reason and a conscientious effort to "get along" would be appreciated and would help make everything work out for the better over the long run in America has been betrayed by high level sociopaths who have done nothing except continually drive America deeper towards total ruin. I am convinced that there is a biological element to these high level criminal- sociopathic groups in America, and these vile creatures hold deep within themselves an unlimited and irreconcilable subterranean hatred for the most honest and productive members of American society. As a point of fact, the Jewish leader Elie Wiesel once stated "Every Jew, somewhere in his being, should set apart a zone of hate -- healthy virile hate -- for what the German personifies and for what persists in the German."
The primary modus operandi of these aliens has always been focused on deception, intrigue, monopolization, and speculative quick gain rather than the encouragement of individual creativity and the creation of ever more real and useful things by perpetually developing science, technology, and an industrial base. All of this will never change. The widely held notion during my grandparents' era that these aliens could somehow be assimilated as "fellow Americans" to genuinely support the "American Dream" has proven tragically naive.
Please see Chapter 15 The Katrina Strike Against New Orleans as the “Weather 9/11” of my Mission of Conscience series which describes how real enemies of America wreaked havoc on the resident city of my late grandparents in 2005, and Chapter 5 Profiling the Opposing Forces Commander, “Circle B,” and His Kosher Handlers, “Circle Z” which provides a closer look at the true nature of some of the most dangerous high level criminal parasites we face today. Last, but not least, please see my web page on the BP Gulf Catastrophe which provides strong evidence that these same globalists who control British Petroleum conducted another false flag operation on April 20, 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico not far from New Orleans. BP actually took control of the Obama administration response, and in an effort to hide its oil spill crime, released enough of the highly toxic dispersant Corexit to poison millions of Americans.
Maj Gen Smedley Butler demonstrated some praiseworthy independence of mind when he published War Is A Racket in the 1930's. It makes many good points, although in my opinion it has a leftist bias and does not paint a complete picture of the special interests who dragged America into WWI -- and hence prolonged it -- against the best interests of North America and Europe. (As previously mentioned, I provide more background on these interests in my Thomas Jefferson and the "Incredible Truth" article. See also see the classic work The International Jew by Henry Ford for deeper background on Jewish manipulation of U.S. national policy and war profiteering during WWI). Nevertheless, if Maj Gen Butler were alive today, he would probably agree with my focus on resisting the hijackers on the home front rather than getting dragged into un-Constitutional wars and foreign entanglements abroad that serve absolutely none of America's legitimate national interests. In fact, I am willing to bet that if Gen. George Patton were alive, he would probably agree with this approach as well, not to mention my late grandfather Col Frederick H. Fox and my late great uncle Col. Creed F. Bates.
I would go even further and bet that these military leaders would not only encourage a spirit of total resistance to growing Zio-tyranny in America by the hijackers, but also recommend that common citizens put more time and energy into organizing themselves on the grass roots level, researching and analyzing the real nature of their true enemies, and figuring out ways to intelligently go on the offensive to take back America.
Gen. Patton was correct in the aforementioned Mojave Desert officer orientation talk in stating that a defensive mentality alone virtually never produces victory against an aggressive, determined, and ruthless enemy -- and this is exactly what we are faced with today on a broader social, political, and economic level.
In view of the ever rising levels of Fukushima radiation, the ever encroaching police state, the strong likelihood of an impending economic collapse within a country that has allowed most of its industrial base to get transferred overseas since the 1960's, and the risk that agents of Mossad-CIA-MI6 could insert a USB stick with the Stuxnet virus at any reactor in the U.S. at any time and precipitate a melt-down over here that would immediately make uninhabitable major regions of this country -- we can't afford to stand around like dodo birds anymore and simply hope that everything will somehow work out for the best.
Chronic low level radiation can be very bad for DNA (called the "Petkau effect") and right now Americans are bio-accumulating radiation that has contaminated food and water as well as the air. This threatens to damage the DNA of all future generations. I have created a special web page on Chernobyl which provides scientific studies that examine these horrendous long term effects on large human populations. Please also see my "Aerial Dance of Mass Death and Genetic Destruction" Week-by-week Fukushima radiation and fallout projections and companion articles series to get a visual as well as narrative sense of the ongoing Fukushima radiation threat, beginning with the plume dispersion charts for North America in March 2011. Last, but not least, please also see my special web that explains individual and group protective measures.
Despite the major media blackout and denial by government officials, we are currently in a de facto civil defense emergency. Please help pass the word on to fellow citizens!

The web page "Chattanooga High School, Class of 1946" has the following caption "Dr. Annetta Trimble, Lt. Walter Wooten, Lt. Ted Atwood, Col. Fred Fox, Col. Creed F. Bates, our principal, and Mrs. Elizabeth Dalton are shown at a tea given in honor of Col. Bates on his return to City. During Col. Bates' absence while serving our country, Mr. Edgar K. Smith served as principal. Because the end of THE WAR came in the Summer before we began our senior year, Col. Bates was able to return to City to be with us during our last year."
