JudgeMagister: /* See also */

'''Kaiser Wilhelm II''' (27 January 1859 – 4 June 1941) ruled Germany from June 1888 to November 1918. He fled to Holland at the end of the war, after his abdication due to political pressure in the midst of Germany's surrender in [[World War I]].
Wilhelm was a prominent figure in late 19th century and early 20th century politics, pursuing an aggressive foreign policy strategy known as "Weltpolitik", literally meaning "world policy" in English.
Wilhelm II was obsessed with militarism, having had a say in many German military issues of the time. He was also a manic depressive, which influenced his decisions considerably, and lead to inconsistent and erratic policies. His power was undermined by 1916, with Generals Ludendorff and Von Hindenburg taking control of many wartime affairs.

Volgograd

2008-03-04T15:03:39Z

JudgeMagister:

'''Volgograd''' (formerly '''Stalingrad''') is a major city in [[Russia]], originally named after [[Joseph Stalin]], and originally called Tsaritsyn.

The [[battle of Stalingrad]] was fought for 6 1/2 months in [[World War II]], in 1942-43, in one of the bloodiest battles in human history. The German 6th Army under General von Paulus managed to occupy 90% of the city, but was surrounded and destroyed by Soviet armies after Hitler forbade an attempt to break out (and promoted von Paulus to Field Marshal on the grounds that no German Field Marshal had ever surrendered in the field). The German surrender was considered the turning point of the war in Russia, and indeed World War II, as Germany had suffered a fatal strategic defeat.

According to authors John Loftus and Mark Aarons, "A handful of Jews won World War II". They worked for the only intelligence organization to penetrate both the Axis and [[Allied powers]]. Agents of [[Reinhard Gehlen]]'s <ref>[http://www.fas.org/irp/world/germany/intro/gehlen.htm Organization Gehlen] retreived 08 May 2007.</ref> "Max network" of supposed "Fascist Jews" in the [[Kremlin]] "lured the Nazi divisions into a series of death traps on the Eastern front, using rare bits of false intelligence planted through the Max network. The first trap was Stalingrad". <ref>John Loftus and Mark Aarons, [http://yamaguchy.netfirms.com/vegyes_/secretwar_06.rtf ''The Secret War Against the Jews''], St. Martin's Press (1994).</ref>

Battlecruiser

2008-03-04T14:55:26Z

JudgeMagister:

Battlecruisers were massive warships built to be faster and more powerful than the smaller warships that dominated combat at sea. Battlecruisers were most popular during the early 1900s, such as during navy [[World War I]].

The advent of military aircraft made battlecruisers vulnerable to attack from above, and [[Japan]] converted some to aircraft carriers prior to [[World War II]]. With this vulnerability, they were almost obsoleted, except in the Soviet Union and later Russian Federation, the only navy with battlecruisers.

Otto von Bismarck

JudgeMagister: /* See also */

'''Otto von Bismarck''' (1815-1898) was the Chancellor of [[Prussia]], and later the first [[chancellor]] of the [[German Empire]] before stepping aside in 1890, at the request of the third German Emperor, [[Kaiser Wilhelm II]].

Known as the ''Iron Chancellor", Bismarck is remembered as a unifier for bringing the various Germanic states together into a unified [[Germany]], and the namesake of a famous [[battleship]]. He was fiercly patriotic and believed in [[realpolitik]].

Bismarck entered Prussian politics in 1847. He first served as ambassador to [[Russia]] and [[France]] before becoming the chancellor. He defeated [[Austria]] in the [[Austro-Prussian War]] and annexed or coerced neighboring states into the [[North German Federation]]. Following the defeat of the French in the [[Franco-Prussian War]], the German Empire was created and Bismarck was made its imperial chancellor and Prince in 1871. In 1890 he was forced to step aside by [[Kaiser Wilhelm II]].

Aircraft carrier

2008-03-04T14:42:28Z

JudgeMagister:

An '''aircraft carrier''' is a ship whose primary purpose is to transport and deploy aircraft. It also can be fitted with anti-air weapons to increase protection of aircraft being deployed. Since late 1942, aircraft carriers have been considered [[capital ship]]s, taking over from battleships and cruisers, which are now mostly obsolete compared to aircraft carriers. The largest aircraft carriers in the world are the United States' [[Nimitz class]] carriers. The first aircraft carrier was the ''HMS Ark Royal'', originally laid down as a merchant ship and converted to a carrier in 1914.

Aircraft carriers allow nations to launch air power from the sea, usually for bombing operations against land targets, defending fleets, hunting other ships and destroying enemy aircraft, or supporting ground forces.

Hippocrates

2008-03-01T00:17:24Z

JudgeMagister:

'''Hippocrates''', the “father of medicine,” lived 460-377 B.C. He crafted the [[Oath_of_Hippocrates|Hippocratic Oath]] that has been required of medical students around the world as a condition of graduation.

The Oath originally stated in part: “I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous. (...) I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce [[abortion]].” Hippocrates saw abortion as being in direct opposition to a doctor’s role of promoting life and health.

Physicians who practice abortion today do not obey this Oath in its original formulation but this should not worry [[Christian]] doctors as the original wording began I swear by [[Apollo]], [[Æsculapius]], [[Hygieia]], and [[Panacea]] which are Mythical Greek gods.

Liberal denial

2008-02-08T00:24:06Z

JudgeMagister:

'''Liberal denial''' is the tendency of [[liberals]] to conceal, deny or censor:

*examples of how the [[liberal]] ideology harms people
*admitting that that they are [[liberals]] themselves
*how the [[liberal]] ideology is pushed on unsuspecting others, particularly youngsters

[[Hillary Clinton]], for example, refused to admit in a presidential debate in 2007 that she is a [[liberal]]. [[Michael Dukakis]] refused for a while to admit that he was a [[liberal]] during the 1988 presidential campaign, until finally he declared himself to be a [[liberal]] in the sense that President [[Harry Truman]], who served 40 years earlier, was a [[liberal]].

There are also specific examples of [[liberals]] denying, for ideological reasons, facts that are plainly true:

# that the numerous premature deaths of Hollywood stars are the result of [[Hollywood Values]]
# that successful [[democracy]], both historically and logically, is the result of [[Protestantism|Protestant]] [[Christianity]]
# that [[Lawrence Summers]] was fired as President of [[Harvard]] for making a politically incorrect suggestion about women and [[math]] aptitude
# that [[Ronald Reagan]]'s public exhortation, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall" caused the nearly 30-year-old wall to be torn down later
# that [[gun control]] may increase crime
# that group prayer is censored from [[public school]]
# that reducing taxes stimulates the economy
# that abortions increase the likelihood of breast cancer
# that the mainstream media is biased
# that private transport is more efficient than public transport
# that some criminals cannot be rehabilitated
# that immigration is out of control

(add more examples)
