Hermann Goering

"Of course the people dont want war...that is understood. But voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

That man was a Genius. A military mastermind and a Patriot. He claims have not been anti-semetic, but who knows...

Here is more of that conversation.

Quoting: Goering

"Why, of course, the people don't want war," Goering shrugged. "Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship."

Quoting: interviewer

"There is one difference," I pointed out. "In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars."

Quoting: Goering

"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

How does what he did in anyway determine intelligence and cunning?

I mean, hell, if you that criteria there goes the title Evil Genius right out the window!!

I knew that's what you'd say too

Fine, you can call him an Evil Genius, but not a normal genius

All genius' were fairly nuts, but Goering was a disturbed, manipulative, evil bastard. Anti-semitist or not, the guy signed papers to arrange the Final Solution, and ran the SA....

Cunning, I'll give yah though

Sick fuck is what the guy was....his doing nothing allowed the death of millions though. And even though the entire population did nothing, that guy was in a possition to do something on his own, real intellect

Funny...isnt it that thought process collectivly that allowed the Nazi's to slaughter millions without the German people doing a thing about it?

A man so smart and patriotic could have probably figured somethin out.....he was the evil genius, not us

That is a cop out answer.
