THE GHOST OF ADOLPH HITLER
Nazi influence in America

By John Stanton

Here it is 2003, and the ghost of the notorious Nazi Adolph Hitler haunts America. He’s in the White House in Washington, DC and the governor’s mansion in Sacramento, California. He roams the halls of the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. His Nazi minions Arthur Rudolph and Werner Von Braun provided the know-how to put American astronauts on the moon and nuclear warheads into space. Rudolph, according to reporter Linda Hunt, was guilty of war crimes in WWII. “In 1969, Americans cheered as our astronauts took their first steps onto the moon. The giant rocket that blasted them into space was Rudolph's crowning achievement as NASA's project director for Saturn V. Fifteen years later, Rudolph relinquished his U.S. citizenship and left the country rather than face Justice Department charges that he had committed war crimes while working in an underground factory that had used Dora Concentration Camp prisoners as slave labor.”

American’s should find it a bit unsettling that their presence on the moon and the space-based military dominance they enjoy was built, in good measure, on the backs of 6,000 human beings who would ultimately be executed by the Nazi SS in the Spring of 1945. According to Hunt, exactly 40 years after the liberation of Dora, in April 1985, the Alabama Space and Rocket Museum paid tribute to 40 Germans who stood surrounded by the press, in front of old V-2s and the Saturn V Rocket they helped build for the United States. There is no monument to the Dora Concentration Camp. Why? Americans do not wish to be reminded of what WWII French Resistance leader, and Dora prisoner, Jean Michel said about the day that U.S. astronauts first walked on the moon, "I could not watch the Apollo mission without remembering that that triumphant walk was made possible by our initiation to inconceivable horror."

Hitler’s influence is everywhere in America.

Nazi Know-How and the CIA

Hitler’s ghost occupies the hallowed ground of the US Central Intelligence Agency. General Reinhard Gehlen was Hitler’s top Soviet spy during WWII and was recruited by Allen Dulles, the first director of the CIA. According to Martin Lee, writing in the San Francisco Bay Guardian, Gehlen returned to West Germany in the summer of 1946 with a mandate to rebuild his espionage organization and resume spying on the East at the behest of American intelligence. That date is significant as it preceded the onset of the Cold War, which, according to standard U.S. historical accounts, did not begin until a year later, according to Lee. The early courtship of Gehlen by American intelligence suggests that Washington was in a Cold War mode sooner than most people realize. The Gehlen gambit also belies the prevalent Western notion that aggressive Soviet policies were primarily to blame for triggering the Cold War.

Based near Munich, Gehlen proceeded to enlist thousands of Gestapo, Wehrmacht, and SS veterans. Even the vilest of the vile – the senior bureaucrats who ran the central administrative apparatus of the Holocaust – were welcome in the " Gehlen Org," as it was called, including Alois Brunner, Adolf Eichmann's chief deputy. SS major Emil Augsburg and Gestapo captain Klaus Barbie, otherwise known as the "Butcher of Lyon," were among those who did double duty for Gehlen and U.S. intelligence, indicated Lee.

Sympathy for Ford’s Devil

Hitler’s ghost is present in the assembly lines of America’s automotive manufacturers. It’s amusing listening to the Ford advertising campaign that features the Rolling Stones song, Start Me Up. More appropriate, it seems, would be the Stone’s classic recording of Sympathy for the Devil. From 1939 to 1942, Ford Motor Company produced thousands of combat vehicles for the Nazi’s at its Cologne, Germany production facility reaping enormous profits that would ultimately be used to design the next-generation of Ford’s driven by Americans in the 1950’s. During the height of WWII, Ford shipped raw materials from America to the Cologne plant to ensure that production would not be interrupted by Allied bombing and that Hitler would remain a happy customer. According to Ken Silverstein, Ford vehicles were crucial to the revolutionary Nazi military strategy of blitzkrieg. Of the 350,000 trucks used by the motorized German Army as of 1942, roughly one-third were Ford products. Imagine the surprise of American troops when they saw the enemy--the Wehrmacht—driving around in Ford vehicles. “They were understandably an unpleasant sight to men in the US Army,” reported Silverstein.

IBM received lucrative contracts from the Nazi’s to build databases that would be used to determine population demographics and track down Jews, Christians and other threats to the Nazi Party. Profits from those efforts, like Ford’s were sent home to America to perform research and development for new profit-making technologies. It’s the same story for General Motors, Kodak, Dupont, and General Electric (owner of NBC news).

Who Won WWII?

“As the world enemy wages war against the White Race and Western Civilization in every corner of the world, we have found that the ONLY WAY to shock our people awake is through BOLD ACTION. Too many others would rather try to TALK the problem away, while we realize that the time has come to FIGHT!” That from [link] a web site of the American Nazi Party. With the election of Arnold Schwarzenegger in California (his father was a member of the Nazi Party opting to be a member of the storm-trooping “Brown Shirts” who eagerly pursued and persecuted Jews, Christians and Gypsies) and Nazi-tainted George Bush II in the White House, the American Nazi Party, the Aryan Nations and other despicable hate groups have received an unintended acknowledgement that their hateful struggle on behalf of the “white race” has merit.

And why shouldn’t they when their government officials and so-called leaders tacitly sanction ethnic cleansing, demean Islam and Arabs or strive to eliminate the civil rights gains of minorities and same-sex groups.

It’s no surprise to find Hitler’s ghost in the offices of Senator Trent Lott who said of white supremacist Senator Strom Thurmond—an opponent of integration and civil rights in the 1960’s-- “When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We’re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn’t have had all these problems over all these years.” Hitler’s ghost visits the House side in the offices of Representative Tom Delay, an avowed Christian Zionist, who advocates the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians by Israel and is a proponent of the Security Fence, while at the same time admonishing those who will listen to him to “stand unashamedly for Jesus Christ”.

And in the Pentagon, Hitler’s ideology, has a friend in the form of US Marine Corps Lieutenant General William Boykin who believes that “God supports the US military because we're a Christian nation, because our foundation and our roots are Judeo-Christian...Our spiritual enemy will only be defeated if we come against them in the name of Jesus.”

That what the Aryan Nation says too. They proclaim that they have God’s support. Like all God-fearing Nazi’s, they hope “To ordain, establish, and pledge our fidelity to our Aryan Racial Nation, under the Law of God, the uniting of our individual strength as a united lawful power, for the preservation and total independence from all alien influence and control over our Faith, Children, and Destiny. “

“I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator,” said Adolf Hitler.

“God told me to strike at Al Qa’ida and I struck them. And then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did. With the might of God on our side we will triumph,” said George Bush. Or was that Hitler talking to Bush?

Hitler’s ghost haunts the United States of America.

Liberal parrots

by Walker, Texas Ranger Monday, Mar. 01, 2004 at 1:23 AM

It must be great to be a liberal. You don't need cogent arguments for anything. In fact, all you need is a parrot trained to squawk "BUSH IS HITLER!"

"What about 'free speech codes' on kollij kampuses?"
"RAWK! BUSH IS HITLER!"
"What about the 100 million dead from communism?"
"BUSH IS HITLER!"
"What about the failure of the welfare state and the endless waste of big gummint?
"BUSH IS HITLER!"

Note to Stalin Q. Marx wannabees: you don't have what it takes to run with the big dogs. Stay hidden on the kollij kampuses.

the corporate angle

by more rational Monday, Mar. 01, 2004 at 1:06 PM

Some right wingers are blinded by their fear of the government, and completely miss that this article was about corporations.

Transnational corporations are growing into trust-like megabusinesses that will coordinate to attack governments. They can turn the nations into their pawns.

They probably miss this because they like corporations at some level. This article really highlights that profit has no morals, and is potentially more coercive than government, because it rules not by "consent" but by pure force.

Evil corporations, the liberal bogeyman

by Walker, Texas Ranger Wednesday, Mar. 03, 2004 at 2:41 AM

Corporations are, in reality, fragile entities at the mercy of the free market and stockholders.

Gummint, however, has an "endless" supply of resources thru taxation aka 'the power to destroy."

You can boycott the corporations you don't like. But you can't boycott the IRS (for very long).

If you're against only corporate welfare OR publick welfare you're still 50% wrong.

“God told me to strike at Al Qa’ida and I struck them. And then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did. With the might of God on our side we will triumph,” said George Bush. Or was that Hitler talking to Bush?

This quote was taken from the idiotic ramblings posted at the top of this thread.

Kindly substantiate this quote.

Or retract your lies.

lazy/lying, stupid fuckwad

by Huff Wednesday, Mar. 03, 2004 at 8:04 AM

do your own work asshole.
"The Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, who supports the Bush plan, quoted Bush as saying he was fully committed to a solution based on his "Vision" speech on June 24, 2002, and was ready to move forward "...if there is help on your (Arab leaders') part". Abbas said Bush made the following statement, among many about God, telling him to go to war. "God told me to strike at Al Qa-ida and I struck them." "And then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did."

To Walker, Texas STRanger`

by Big Tex Wednesday, Mar. 03, 2004 at 8:34 AM

It must be great to have such a narrow focus. You only have to label people "liberal" that have opposing thoughts. How simple. Wouldn't it be great if this was really the case?

Look around stupid. There are millions still out of work with no health care for their families. I'm sure you choose to believe the "Bush" unemployment statistics that show a slight decrease in the non working. Figure it out moron. This is based on the number that file for unemployment. After 39 weeks they are off the roll and no longer counted.

I guess you also think the $10 per hour (or less) jobs that are being filled will sustain a family, or worse, a single parent with the on-going expense of clothes, food and housing to name a few.

It's easy to see you are just one of the "sheep". Keep following your "leader" and see where it gets you. You'll wind up going over the cliff, while his golden parachute saves his worthless ass.

And Kerry "cares" about you--ha ha ha.

by Walker, Texas Ranger Thursday, Mar. 04, 2004 at 5:07 PM

It must be great to have such a narrow focus. >>> You tell me. You only have to label people "liberal" that have opposing thoughts. How simple. Wouldn't it be great if this was really the case? >>>> I don't stop at liberal...victicrat, socialist, poor-me, class-envyist, communist, anarchist....all are virtually interchangeable for the same creature: someone trying to live for free off of someone's else hard work. This wonderful group includes professional race baiters like jesse 'booty call' jackson, rich democrats playing poverty pimps with tax money, and your esteemed kommie professors who spread communist lies while drawing an inflated salary of taxpayer money... Look around stupid. There are millions still out of work with no health care for their families. I'm sure you choose to believe the "Bush" unemployment statistics that show a slight decrease in the non working. Figure it out moron. This is based on the number that file for unemployment. After 39 weeks they are off the roll and no longer counted. >>> And let me guess, if the stats showed GREATER unemployment, suddenly they'd be believable... >>> You D-fellows thrive on human misery...the only way democraps get elected is if everyone is made to think they're unfairly suffering. The better off the economy the worse off the donkey party... I guess you also think the $10 per hour (or less) jobs that are being filled will sustain a family, or worse, a single parent with the on-going expense of clothes, food and housing to name a few. >>>> I don't think that $10 an hour jobs will sustain a family.....nor do I think it's anyone responsibility to provide "living wage" jobs to people who aren't qualified to do them. >>>> Put another way, if you're only making $10 an hour, you are hopefully either a college kid looking for beer money or a bored senior. If you're anyone else, you're not going to make enough, and depending on circumstances, "you" shouldn't have had kids until you could afford to take care of them. It's easy to see you are just one of the "sheep". >>> It's easy to see cause someone told you what you're seeing, and you believed them instead of your own eyes. Keep following your "leader" and see where it gets you. You'll wind up going over the cliff, while his golden parachute saves his worthless ass. >>>> I've got plenty of problems with Bush....since he spends money like a victicrat. I don't depend on any politician to provide me with anything but grief and more grief. And since you victicrats love Big Gummint, you are the greater enemy and D-politicians are even worse than RINOs (Republican In Name Only) like Bush. >>> It's a good thing Kerry "cares" about you, isn't it?......but he won't be weeping very hard over you since he married a millionairess who ALSO didn't earn the $$$ but married it. >>>> The lemmings of the past 50 years look more like donkeys than elephants.

Simple

by Simple Simon Thursday, Mar. 04, 2004 at 8:41 PM

So let's see if I have your argument straight here, Huff.

A quote is taken from a website called "INSANE PLANET"

This quote purports to be the words of Yasser Arafat's former Prime Minister, Mahmoud Abbas whom you hilariously refer to as "Supporting the Bush Plan" as if that matters at all.

In this quote Mr. Abbas claims the President told him that God told him to strike at Al Queda and at Saddam Hussein.

So, this is your substantiation?

Substantiation means PROVE he said it you brainless assclown. Not, ooh ooh, I've found a website where a guy I know says he knows another guy who heard him say it.

You're dumber than your ignorant Brazillian paint-by-numbers pal.
