American Holocaust
by C.E. Gee
“Professor Giddings,” said Margaret, “so good to see you.”
On a bench overlooking the Quad, Professor Homer Giddings took a seat
next to Margaret, said, “Ditto,”
Margaret smiled at Professor Giddings’ brevity, asked,
“I heard you took a sabbatical. What are you working on?”
“My next book.”
Margaret nodded as she asked, “This one like your other two books? You
know, all about Native Americans?”
Snidely, Professor Giddings answered, “I’ve decided the proper term is
Aboriginal Americans. There’s no such thing as Native Americans. All of
us here, including the Aboriginals, we’re all immigrants.”
“Really?!” exclaimed Margaret. “I know someone who might argue that
point. He’s a member of the Church of Latter Day Saints, believes the
Garden of Eden was in Missouri.”
I’ve read the Book of Mormon,” replied Professor Giddings. Turns out
the Garden of Eden came first. Then God created Adam and Eve there. If
that is true, turns out they also were immigrants.”
Giddings said, “Did you know the Church of Latter Day Saints promotes
the concept that one of the lost tribes of Israel migrated to America?”
“Well,” Margaret mused as she gazed up into the sky, eyeing some
clouds, “I saw on one of the history channels a documentary that was
about pre-historic migrations to America by various groups such as the
Irish, Vikings, French, etc... It mentioned one of the lost tribes of
Israel as being among those groups.”
“Right,” said Professor Giddings. “Thus, you should pay attention to
what I now say. I’ve an old friend who served some time in the Army.
He’d previously spent his youth here on the West Coast, lived in
Oregon, Alaska, California, Nevada. The Aboriginal Americans on the
west coast have a decidedly Asiatic cast. Also, it’s well known that
their ancestors crossed the Bering Strait during an ice age.”
“When the Army sent this friend of mine overseas, one of his
squad-mates was a member of a tribe located in the northeast section of
our country.”
“My friend insists his squad-mate had decidedly Semitic features.”
“Interesting,” said Margaret.
Professor Giddings went on with his idea. “Should I assume you’re aware
of the obscure theory that the reason the Nazis tried to eliminate the
Jews was so that the coming messiah, born of a Jewish woman, would not
conflict with the 1000-year Reich?”
Margaret said, “I was on one of my archeological digs a coupla years
ago. A participating student was Jewish. During a break when we were
sipping sodas and discussing her heritage, she informed me of that
theory.”
“Well now,” said Professor Giddings, “I think you’ll find this
interesting. Turns out the Nazis saw themselves as the National
Socialist German Worker’s Party. However, in actuality, they were
anything but. They were right wing fascists to the core.”
“Here’s were things get really interesting in terms of Aboriginal
Americans. American Army generals such as Sheridan, Crook, Custer,
Reno, Sherman, were all dispatched to fight the Indians, force them
onto reservations, which were nothing more than large concentration
camps. These generals were given their posts by presidents who were of
a common American political party, which has a reputation of being
right wing.”
“Fascinating,” said Margaret.
Giddings continued with, “Here’s my take. An American Aboriginal woman
descendant of the lost tribe of Israel in America will give birth to
the Messiah.”
Margaret snorted, then said “Sheesh. That’s one heck of a theory. Those
generals you mentioned who were given the duty of eliminating the
Indians, obviously they failed.”
Professor Giddings smugly smiled said, “I suspect my next book will be a best seller.”
“No doubt, said Margaret. “I’ll buy a copy for my kindle.”
Professor Giddings reached over, gripped Margaret’s forearm as he said,
“I’ll give you a copy. My publisher always ships me boxes full of
hardcover editions for me to submit to reviewers and such.”
As Giddings removed his hand Margaret said, “I’d appreciate that.”
“Professor Giddings continued with his theory. “I’ve one problem yet to
solve. How did the Presidents of the 1800’s know the goal of the 1930’s
Nazis?”
“That’s a tough one,” replied Margaret.”
Nodding, Giddings said, “Yes indeed. I’ve got three likely theories. I
may present all of them, let the readers decide based upon their own
beliefs.”
“The first theory is that the white settlers of our country were
striking back in revenge in continuation of the conflicts the
originated in the 17th and 18th Centuries. “
“The second theory is due to the Nazi fascination with the occult.
Maybe they found a metaphysical way to communicate with persons in the
past.”
“The third theory I myself find to be most likely. Perhaps some secret
society that’s existed far back in history passed its beliefs on to
persons in later years, such as in the 19th and 20th Centuries. I find
this most likely because of the fascist leanings of both the Nazis and
particular U.S. Presidents.”
Again, Margaret nodded as she said, “That’ll certainly give your readers something to ponder.”
Margaret stood, turned to Professor Giddings, said, “I’ve got a lecture
to deliver. I must say, you’ve certainly, given me something to ponder
as well. May I mention our conversation to my husband?”
Giddings warmly smiled. “Of course. I’ve had numerous conversations
with Kevin. From what I know of him he will appreciate my findings.”
Margaret turned, walked across the Quad.
