THIS DAY IN HISTORY – General George S. Patton dies – 1945

Via History.com

General George S. Patton, commander of the U.S. 3rd Army, dies from injuries suffered not in battle but in a freak car accident. He was 60 years old.

Descended from a long line of military men, Patton graduated from the West Point Military Academy in 1909. He represented the United States in the 1912 Olympics-as the first American participant in the pentathlon. He did not win a medal. He went on to serve in the Tank Corps during World War I, an experience that made Patton a dedicated proponent of tank warfare.

During World War II, as commander of the U.S. 7th Army, he captured Palermo, Sicily, in 1943 by just such means. Patton’s audacity became evident in 1944, when, during the Battle of the Bulge, he employed an unorthodox strategy that involved a 90-degree pivoting move of his 3rd Army forces, enabling him to speedily relieve the besieged Allied defenders of Bastogne, Belgium.

Along the way, Patton’s mouth proved as dangerous to his career as the Germans. When he berated and slapped a hospitalized soldier diagnosed with “shell shock,” but whom Patton accused of “malingering,” the press turned on him, and pressure was applied to cut him down to size. He might have found himself enjoying early retirement had not General Dwight Eisenhower and General George Marshall intervened on his behalf. After several months of inactivity, he was put back to work.

And work he did-at the Battle of the Bulge, during which Patton once again succeeded in employing a complex and quick-witted strategy, turning the German thrust into Bastogne into an Allied counterthrust, driving the Germans east across the Rhine. In March 1945, Patton’s army swept through southern Germany into Czechoslovakia—which he was stopped from capturing by the Allies, out of respect for the Soviets’ postwar political plans for Eastern Europe.

Patton had many gifts, but diplomacy was not one of them. After the war, while stationed in Germany, he criticized the process of denazification, the removal of former Nazi Party members from positions of political, administrative, and governmental power. His impolitic press statements questioning the policy caused Eisenhower to remove him as U.S. commander in Bavaria. He was transferred to the 15th Army Group, but in December of 1945 he suffered a broken neck in a car accident and died less than two weeks later.

Bill O’Reilly’s book “Killing Patton” left open (but insinuated) foul play. The witness description of events made it seem anything but accidental..

The assassin not only admitted it, but described it in detail.

“In 1979, OSS Agent, Major Douglas Bazata, asserted that he had been part of a hit team that was tasked to assassinate General Patton. He had fired a low velocity projectile into the back of the General’s neck, in order to snap it and cause him paralysis. When Patton failed to die and was showing signs of recovery, he was murdered in the hospital by Soviet NKVD agents. Bazata swore that Wild Bill Donavan (the head of the Officers Secret Service – OSS) paid him $10,000 plus another $800 in expenses, for his role in Patton’s death.

Prominent Assassin
Douglas Bazata, who left the Army as a Major in 1947, had been awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, 4 Purple Hearts and France’s Croix de Guerre, with two palms. He was later hired to work for the U.S. government as Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Navy. OSS Agent, Douglas Bazata later wrote of his meeting at Claridges Hotel, in London, with Wild Bill Donovan: “Douglas, I do indeed have a problem, it is the extreme disobedience of General George Patton and of his very serious disregard of orders for the common cause.” “Shall I kill him Sir?” Bazata asked. “Yes, Douglas, you do exactly what you must.” Later William Colby, a former OSS agent who went on to become head of the Central Intelligence Agency, praised Bazata in his 1978 book, Honourable Men. Some have come to recognise General Patton as the first casualty of the Cold War. Patton’s insights and convictions were considered a threat to the New World Order.”

If you were going to make any claim that might hold water,
you might make some claim that his family was part of the
Jewish infiltration of Scottish Free Masonry, and they came
to the New World as Scottish Mason Jacobites. That would
at least muddy the waters enough that it would send a
historian scrambling looking for evidence.
Of what I am writing of above, there is a huge body of evidence,
but I have never seen the Patton family name involved. There
is an extreme excess of marriages over the last 200 years between
Royal Scottish Lines such as Stewart or Sinclair and the
Ashkenazi Kabalist Banking Bloodlines we all so adore.
Also> It is always best not to confuse “Jacobite” and “Jakobin”.

He recommended that the U.S. re-arm the German Army and turn them on the Russians.
Had his idea been followed, there would be no Iron Curtain, World wide communist infiltration, Mao, Korean War, Vietnamese War, ANC, Castro, Allende, Millions of lives would have been spared, and the globalists would never have had the slightest chance to do what they are doing now.
Patton had to be murdered, he was going to stop all of it.

which he was stopped from capturing by the Allies, out of respect for the Soviets’ postwar political plans for Eastern Europe.

Out of respect for the Soviets’ postwar political plans for Eastern Europe? What? I cannot understand the US lack of understanding of the true nature and motives of the USSR.

They were never “allies”. But they did suck up US support for years, used it to bolster their military, took over half of Europe, and then proceeded to spread suffering and death for decades while pretending to stand for working people.

The pencil pusher, Eisenhower, had General Patton assassinated per Joe Cortina.
As for Eisenhower, it is common knowledge that he was involved in the murder of General Patton who censured his post-war murderous treatment of Germans. If Patton wasn’t eliminated, his persistent criticism of Eisenhower’s conduct during and after the war would have ruined his chances for the presidency.

It’s obvious to me that Eisenhower sponsored the Holocaust hoax in order to please the Jews who had the power to keep him out of the White House.

Just say it plainly. Patton said clearly that we “defeated the wrong enemy” and didn’t approve of the obviously Jewish nature of the entire affair.
…and now we live in Weimar II with diversity crime being shoved down out throats by our kosher overlords while billions per year get shipped to our “Greatest Ally”.
Patton was murdered because he was right.
