William Jennings Bryan tried to Warn the World about the Dangers of German Militarism fueled by Darwinism.
Bryan's warnings went unheeded by Western elites. He warned that Darwinism had led the German Imperial Army to commit terrible atrocities in Belgium during the early days of the First World War. Fake news at the Scopes Trial drowned out Bryan's desperate attempt to warn the nation. Bryan had learned of the deadly combination of German militarism and Darwinism from a book titled Headquarters Nights. This book was written by a biology professor from Stanford University named Vernon Kellogg. In Headquarters Nights, Kellogg told of his conversations with German generals while he was stationed with the German General Staff in Belgium. These German leaders attributed their brutal treatment of the Belgian people to an all-pervasive belief in Darwinism. When the combination of German militarism and Darwinism spawned the horrors of the Holocaust, there would be no book in the decades following which would detail the role of science in the Holocaust. Instead, there would be an academic silence that would last until the 1980s.
Secular Activists knew they had to hide the role played by science in the Holocaust
The report asks a simple question. If four states restricted the teaching of evolution in their public schools as a result of the role that Darwinism played in the deaths of 6,000 Belgian civilians in August of 1914, then why wasn't the teaching of evolution outlawed in America during the late 1940s as a result of the role played by science in the Holocaust?
During the early 1920s, William Jennings Bryan went on an anti-evolution campaign in which he called for the teaching of evolution in public schools to be outlawed. Bryan went on this campaign in part because of Vernon Kellogg's Headquarters Nights which detailed the connection between Darwinism and the "Rape of Belgium." If bioethicist Arthur Caplan is correct in his assertion that "science permeates the Holocaust" then how is it that the teaching of evolution in American public schools was not outlawed during the late 1940s?
The Secular Revolution
1870 to 1930
“History is written by the victors, and for this reason perhaps we are not accustomed to thinking about the secularization of American public life as the successful outcome of an intentional political struggle by secularizing activists to overthrow a religious establishment’s control over socially legitimate knowledge.”
- Sociologist Christian Smith
Academics and Journalists
“Almost all of these activists were intellectual elites – professional definers, producers, legitimators, and distributors of social knowledge. They belonged to the American knowledge class – the academic, scientific, and literary intelligentsia of their day.”
- Sociologist Christian Smith
Perpetrators
Secular activists would wage a successful takeover that saw them wrest control of the nation away from the "Protestant Establishment." They fought hard to gain this authority, and they were not going to give it up. They would hide the role played by science in the Holocaust in order to prevent the rise of a new Bryan and their loss of power.
Secularists used Five Methods to Hide the Truth
If the American people had learned of the role played by science in the Holocaust during the 1940s, every state would have outlawed the teaching of evolution in their public schools. Secular activists knew that their control of the nation was on the line. They crafted a cover-up that would lead this nation on a path that would lead to the overthrow of the moral principles that had served as the foundational bedrock of our society. Secular activists used the following 5 methods to hide the truth from the American people.
Academic Silence
“There is also an aversion to taking a long hard look at what health professionals and scientists did during the years before and throughout the Holocaust…science permeates the Holocaust. And for those who see medicine and science as bound by a higher moral code, that is a very difficult fact to accept.”
-Arthur Caplan
The Firewall of Social Darwinism
“Hofstadter declared American social Darwinism dead no later than 1918: ‘as a conscious social philosophy,’ Hofstadter said, ‘social Darwinism had disappeared in America at the end of the war.’ It is an irony, then, that the term ‘social Darwinism’ gained meaningful currency only with the book that declared the concept long dead"
-Thomas C. Leonard
The Careful Structuring of Nazi War Crimes Trials
“In their eagerness to establish the link with Nazism, the prosecutors, and the judges largely ignored the degree to which racist and eugenic thought had become well established if not dominant in medical thinking in Germany before the Nazis’ seizure of power…virtually no one looking at this issue today would discount so totally the medical and ideological background of the atrocities that were the subject of the Doctors’ Trial.”
-Michael R.Marrus
Marginalizing the Memory of Nazi Euthanasia
“There are legal, academic, and cultural reasons for the silence on Nazi euthanasia.”

Restricting Access to Hundreds of Nazi Propaganda Films
“70 years after the end of the Nazi regime, more than 40 Nazi propaganda films remain under lock and key.”

The Greatest Cover-Up in American History

We believe that Jesus wants America to know about this cover-up.
If you agree, please let your family and friends know about greatestcoverup.info
This cover-up paved the way for America to become a secular nation. This conspiracy preserved the teaching of evolution in American public schools. How different would America be today if this abomination had been outlawed in the 1940s?
