1. First kick for today, I'd like to hear your views about US/NAZI relationships DUers.
You've been hearing my views about this vital topic here since 2001-it's time for you to post your own take on this sinister history.

2. it's all fascinating...
bottom line.

After the war US authorities found it more valuable to flip Hans the Nazi into Hans the spy than to imprison Hans the Nazi.

3. I think the people in power who supported the Nazis infiltrated them into the US Government
and we've been suffering their presence ever since. Russ Baker's Family of Secrets lays it out. They aren't just supportive of Nazis, pretty much any right wing totalitarian gets their backing.

4. The US made a huge mistake in taking in Nazi's after the war,
In fact one could say that the Cold War and the rise of the US MIC wouldn't have happened, or at least been severely curtailed, if we hadn't given safe haven and employed so many former Nazi war criminals.

5. Here's a couple of archived threads about these historic US/NAZI relationships
Nazis were apt pupils of American eugenics (started 1-31-05 by Minstrel Boy)

January 1, 1934: "The Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring" took effect (I started this one on 1-1-08)
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2570336

Add to this thread-knowledge is power, it's needed when talking truth to power.

6. Go read about Reinhardt Gehlen and George Kennan
Gehlen, a Nazi war criminal, became the leading US intelligence expert on the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. A fascist reporting on communists, what could go wrong there? As it turns out, plenty. Gehlen consistently overstated the threat to the US from the Soviet Union. A few dozen missiles became a few hundred, Soviet troops were threatening the W. German border when in reality they were retreating from it, etc. etc. It was because of this single man that the US ramped up its military build-up during the fifties and sixties. What's funny is that even when we were able to independently verify, or disprove, Gehlen's wild claims, we didn't. Instead we continued to accept his word as gospel and acted accordingly. The Cold War and the rise of the MIC would have been a lot less if it wasn't for this man.

The reason that Gehlen was taken at face value was because his superiors were Nazi sympathizers and admirers themselves. George Kennan, the author of the Long Telegram, which essentially set out US policy vis-a-vis the Soviet Union, was a huge admirer of fascism and Nazism. Averell Harriman, who had corporations convicted under the Trading With the Enemy Act, was appointed as both our British and Soviet diplomat after WWII, not to mention he was Sec. of Commerce during the Truman administration and went on to challenge for the presidency twice. He was a well known Nazi admirer and expressed a desire to bring about fascism in the US. Other notables on the Nazi admiration parade are the Dulles brothers, who went on to be on the bench and the other head of the FBI. These are the big names, but there were literally dozens of other fascist and Nazi sympathizers serving in government throughout the latter part of the twentieth century.

8. They did a great movie about the life of Werner von Braun
called 'I Aim for the Stars' (bur sometimes I hit London). The father of our space program and the V2. Oh, he became a nazi in 1937.

11. Lots of NAZIS in NASA deaniac21-folks like the "father of space medicine" Hubertus Strughold
Operation Paperclip page (Jewish Virtual Library.org)
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/ww2/OperationPaperclip.html

Hubertus Strughold Wikipedia entry (cleaned-up by his admirers)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubertus_Strughold

Hubertus Strughold was a NAZI and a medical/scientific monster PAPER CLIPPED into our nation--then there are the histories of medical NAZIS like Dr. Ernst Rudin et al and how RASSENHYGIENE is very much with US in the 21st century...

9. The CIA and the Nazis-including RW Republican Party (started 10-29-03)
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x610251

Fwiw, I've gotten a lot healthier since posting that. I'm standing behind the historical facts, (aka the truth) as always. This includes my strong opinions (and life experiences) involving political party moles, their networks and domestic black operations in the context of the RW working for the growth of fascism in The United States of America.

13. We've had lots of real NAZIS here in Wisconsin, and now many of their extended families. What about
your region/state? It's truly intergenerational, because many of the extended family members know and have been indoctrinated into the hate filled ideology some embracing it while others rejecting it.

I'm interested in hearing about cases of real NAZIS in your neighborhood-and we're not talking about toprank folks or even officers, we're talking about people that include former Waffen SS troops, OPERATION PAPERCLIP professionals, etc.

Here's an example from Wisconsin Heinz Max Schlicke, who was a "passenger" on the last German U-boat mission to Japan, the U-234 which had some very interesting cargo like enriched uranium, infrared proximity fuses (one of Heinz Schlicke's areas of expertise-often called the "father of stealth technology" he was in charge of the Third Reich's naval labs at Kiel during WWII) Heinz was captured aboard the U-234 which is detailed in the link below, a Charles C. Kolb review of Joseph M. Scalia's book "Germany's Last Mission to Japan: The Failed Voyage of U-234" posted on H Net in 2000
http://www.ess.uwe.ac.uk/genocide/reviewsw54.htm

Heinz Max Schlicke and others spent some time in one of the U.S. National Parks used for covert purposes, documented by the link below
P.O. Box 1142
http://www.npca.org/magazine/2010/winter/po-box-1142.html

Schlicke wound up in my hometown of Milwaukee for awhile working for Allen Bradley, yet as a PAPERCLIP Nazi (he had to be a Party member to hold some of his positions) "recruited" by OUR government who knows what else he was up to (he was reported to have been a SALT I US "expert")???

Below is his cleaned-up Wiki entry
Heinz Max Schlicke
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz_Schlicke

What about the NAZI history where you live-post it in this thread.

15. There were more than 30 POW camps in Wisconsin during WWII; Milwaukee was a big Bund city
consequently there are many NAZI influences all over this State--what about where you live, DU?

Fwiw, below are a few more US/NAZI links

Wisconsin Man's Hitler Memorial the Sickening Work of a Holocaust Denier (built by a Waffen SS vet) (6-14-06 ADL press release)
http://www.adl.org/PresRele/ASUS_12/4836_12.htm

Documents Shed Light on C.I.A.'s Use of Ex-Nazis by Scott Shane (6-6-06 NYT article)
"The Central Intelligence Agency took no action after learning the pseudonym and whereabouts of the fugitive Holocaust overseer Adolph Eichmann in 1958..."
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/06/washington/06cnd-nazi.html


excerpts from Blowback: America's recruitment of Nazis and its disastrous effect on our domestic and foreign policy
by Christopher Simpson (Third World Traveler)

The CIA and Nazi War Criminals (The National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book 146 posted 2-4-05)
http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB146/index.htm

So what's the story about that NAZI influence in your neck of the woods DUers???

Nation of Cowards.

I guess that we can't handle the truth.

Edited on Sat Nov-20-10 11:43 AM by bobthedrummer
linkage has always been there-there are lots more individuals speaking out today yet the political mind control of a generation of lies (and liars) constantly repeating bs in every media has been highly effective to date in these unprecedented times here in the good old USA.

23. This is outrageous of the DOJ!!!....Half these people are gone now.
What is reason the DOJ would cover up their participation????
Absurd!!

Everyone knows by now how corrupt our gov't was, is and continues to be.

It would behoove Obama to step up like a MAN and apologize to the world and all the remaining victims for the US gov't's errors.

I am just stunned!!! and angered that these Nazis were here living in luxury.
No wonder there is a new revival here and across the internet. This is scary shit. And mean-ass people.

We need to prosecute the ones that are left. They need to come forward and receive penance.

This is an atrocity.

24. President Clinton did apologize for what he called "cold war" errors-but no one has singled out the
US/NAZI's plus the DoJ has quite a record of employing the worst kind of scumbags (including Nazi's and their American cousins) itself since the end of WWII. Below are a couple more links to our historical connections to NAZIS.

Holocaust Era Assets (National Archives)
http://www.archives.gov/research/holocaust/finding-aid/introduction.html

Know your BFEE: Nazi's couldn't win WWII so they backed Bushes (Octafish thread started 7-1-06)
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1547206

Anyone else here recall the life of Edwin W. Pauley??? He really didn't help return those Holocaust assets, he helped place them in RW hands imo.

"...money trumps peace, sometimes..." George Walker Bush State of the Union address segment

Add to this thread, DU. Never forget isn't a rhetorical phrase to some of US.
