Bohemian Rhapsody

Posted in General at 2:12 pm by MamaSaid

 In my most recent blog entry, I cleared up the confusion about the real meaning of “Bohemian”. Although inaccurately used to describe wayward artists and powerful, white men who participate in a ritualistic group, it is actually a nationality of people from western Czechoslovakia. I am aware of this fact because of my own Bohemian ancestry.

Many Bohemian Jews and gypsies were victimized, oppressed and killed by Nazis during the Holocaust. In fact, a head count taken after World War II revealed that there were less than one hundred Bohemians left in Czechoslovakia. However, because so many Bohemians were “gypsies” running from oppression, the census was deemed to be inaccurate.

Despite the fact that few Bohemians existed and the nation was dissolved in 1949, we do still exist and are aware of the insults being misdirected at our nationality. Racial slurs against other groups are pursued, prosecuted and acknowledged, but this group is forgotten other than to make nasty jokes or comparisons. Our country perpetuates wars such as the current one, alleging they are spreading the concept of democracy and encouraging individual human rights. Clearly this is a thinly disguised smoke screen because if a battle does not involve profit from oil and political power, government officials don’t seem to care.

After all, a pig farm still exists over the former graves of Bohemians killed (many helpless children) during the Holocaust. Despite international laws that require such sites be respected and memorialized, the pig farm continues to conduct business over the bodies of those sacrificed because of prejudice. Appeals have even been made to the U.N. to give dignity to the grave sites and families of these people to no avail. To add insult to injury, inaccurate allegations have been made that these people died because of typhus and not oppression, despite witnesses to the events and evidence that they occurred. Just consider the fact that the Diary of Ann Frank was actually written by a Bohemian Jew.

A writer named Paul Polansky was integral in having the memorial built that does exist in Lety. He gave a speech back in 1995 at the Holocaust Museum on Washington, DC that outlined the experience of these Bohemian and Romany victims. He brought witnesses and the truth to light many times and published a book in 1999 called Living Through it Twice: Poems of the Romany Holocaust. He offers actual accounts of severe racism against the darker-skinned Romany population, with racial attacks by skinheads amounting to over 1,200 as of 1998. Despite his efforts and publicity in the American press, the pig farm and racial slurs continue to go on.

In fact, they are being perpetuated by our own government officials, who refer to their elite little group of political policy-makers as the Bohemian Grove. Beware of the comparison because the white aristocracy actually wiped out the nation of Bohemia and continues to relentlessly persecute those who remain, denying them equal rights and education. Is this an inside joke about what their intentions are toward the masses right here in America? Don’t be too surprised. Consider that the majority of wealth is held by less than five percent of the population, most of whom probably have a connection at Bohemian Grove. Scary, isn’t it?

To end my Bohemian blog, I will give you two quotes to think about. The first is from Paul Polansky’s speech:

“The communists made us give up our nomadic ways in the 1950s but democracy has released a racism in this country that has taken away our livelihoods, our culture, our souls. On top of all this, you walk around the big cities and you see signs written on the walls: ‘Gypsies to the gas chambers,’ ‘Gypsy go back to India,’ ‘Gypsy out,’ ‘Death for Gypsies,’ ‘Gypsy parasites go back to Asia,’ ‘Czech Republic for Czechs not for Gypsies,’ ‘Czech Republic White, F— Off Gypsies.’ Was the holocaust any worst for us? Today is a living holocaust. I truly believe another Lety is descending upon us.
“I also fear that what is happening to the Romany in the Czech Republic will happen in other European countries if they see that the Czech policy is successful. If it is allowed to be successful, then other European countries will copy it. Italy, Belgium, German, Spain are all watching to see what happens in the Czech Republic. They hope the white Czechs win so that they can begin the same program. I have relatives in these countries. They hear talk about the same things being carried out there.”Perhaps it is not just in Europe we need to fear this happening, after finding out about Bohemian Brove. I would like to end with the words of Reverend Al Sharpton in his book “Al On America”, written in 2003:“Presidential politics has become too narrow. It has become an exclusive club for white males, of a certain income, of a certain age…People are living in fear and we have to break that cycle and offer them more than words.”Where do the rest of us fit in?

    I’ve been a memeber of this group now for roughly 2 years.

    I requested to have my name and email removed because I was afriad of the government- they’ve got guns, and badges and they control the Judges.

    Well, bottom line is screw’em- I’ve left enough tracks over the Internet its not going to make any difference.

    So, please put me back on the emailing list, and when they knock on my door- and they will, someday, I suppose- I’ll just have to give them this.

    ,,!,,

    Thanks, Larry!

    I don’t get the meaning of this post, my Father came from Bohemia and since we are Blond Haired and Blue Eyed we weren’t Romany so what are you saying we are?

    Gypsies in Bohemia and elsewhere were limited in their ability to roam the country as laws were enacted to discourage this practice and ground them in the local culture.

    I am not aware that all of the Bohemians (Bohmen if you’re german) were expelled after the War.

    Bohemian Grove is a club and has no affiliation to Bohemia beyond the stereotype of a free and liberal society (which is embodied in current day Czech Republic)
