The documents, many of which were declassified only three years ago, show that even after America had entered the war and when there was already significant information about the Nazis' plans and policies, Prescott Bush worked for and profited from companies closely involved with the very German businesses that hoisted Hitler to power.
While there is no suggestion that Prescott Bush was sympathetic to the Nazi cause (nor is there any proof to the contrary), the documents reveal that the firm he worked for, Brown Brothers Harriman acted as a U.S. base for Fritz Thyssen, the German industrialist who financed Hitler in the 1930s. Evidence shows Bush was the director of the New York-based Union Banking Corp. that represented Thyssen's U.S. interests and he continued to work for the bank well after America entered the war. Bush was also on the board of at least 1 of the companies that formed part of a multinational network of front companies to allow Thyssen to move assets around the world. Papers also show, Prescott Bush was a director and shareholder of a number of companies involved with Thyssen, Germany's most powerful industrial family, and with I.G. Farben, which was prosecuted for war crimes, and is best known as the producer of Zyklon B, a lethal poison widely used at the Auschwitz and Majdanek death camps.
( Isn't it curious in light of various notes that news and records about death camps are scarce that more noise isn't audible about the Bush family....and where does the b.s. end given I don't believe the bin Laden fable about 9-11...but tend to take stories about their involvement in JFK's death seriously ...PNAC ? )

The boys who cry “Holocaust”
The same neocon hawks who lied us into Iraq are using the ultimate argument-stopper to push war with Iran
http://www.salon.com/2011/11/22/the_boys_who_cry_holocaust/singleton
As one of the most disastrous wars in our history is coming to an inglorious end, the same neoconservative hawks who dreamed it up are agitating for a new war that would make Iraq look like the invasion of Grenada — and using the ultimate trump card in American politics to silence debate over it.
When hawks begin beating the drums for war in the Middle East, Israel is usually a big reason why. That was true in the run-up to the war in Iraq, and it is doubly true with the current hysteria over Iran. Despite disingenuous claims to the contrary, the only reason the U.S. is even talking about war with Iran is Israel. As the invaluable M.J. Rosenberg, who knows the working of the Israel lobby as only a former card-carrying member can, notes, “It is impossible to find a single politician or journalist advocating war with Iran who is not a neocon or an AIPAC cutout. (They’re often both.)”
Ever since the International Atomic Energy Agency released its overhyped, old-news report on Iran’s nuclear program, Israel’s amen corner in the U.S. has been loudly calling for war.
If American politics did not contain an enormous blind spot, no one would pay any attention to what these discredited ideologues have to say. The Iraq war they championed turned out to be one of the biggest foreign-policy disasters in U.S. history. Their ignorant and Islamophobic view of the Middle East is as breathtaking as their bland willingness to commit America to yet another ruinous war against a Muslim country, this time one four times larger than Iraq and with more than twice as many people. They have a demonstrated track record of complete failure.

I think Raul Hilberg logged more than 15 years of independent research, Gordon.
Hilberg didn’t truck in the pieties of what became the Holocaust industry that exploited the colossal suffering of Jews for political and financial gain. He rejected the notion that the Nazi holocaust sprang uniquely from virulent anti-Semitism and concomitantly maintained that “Jews were only the first victims” of the German bureaucracy’s genocidal juggernaut, which also targeted Gypsies and Poles, among others. He reckoned Jewish resistance to be negligible but Jewish cooperation (which however he distinguished from collaboration) to be significant, while he reckoned the total number of Jewish victims at closer to 5.1 million. The third volume contains a 20-page appendix detailing his complex calculations of Jewish dead. In contrast Dawidowicz gives a figure for each country and then totals the number, as if this calculation were simply an addition problem whereas, as Hilberg notes, “the raw data are seldom self-explanatory, and…their interpretation often requires the use of voluminous background materials that have to be analyzed in turn.”
It should go without saying that whether the figure is closer to five than six million is of zero moral significance – except for a moral cretin, who could utter “only five million”? – although Hilberg believed it was of historical significance. Even if it weren’t he almost certainly would still have insisted on the 5.1 million figure if his research showed it was closer to the truth. “Always in my life,” Hilberg wrote unaffectedly in his memoir, “I had wanted the truth about myself.” This was also how he approached the study of the Nazi holocaust.
His confident knowledge of the field no doubt accounted for Hilberg’s easygoing tolerance of Holocaust deniers. Those who want to suppress them do so not only in disgust at what they might say but also in dread of the inability to answer them. (The hysterical allegation of Holocaust deniers lurking in every corner is apparently also contrived to justify the endless proliferation of Holo-trash.) Hilberg recently made the provocative statement that whereas the Nazi holocaust is an irrefutable fact this was “more easily said than demonstrated.”
(from an elegy for Hilberg, by a guy that some people have characterized as a Jew hater. Read and decide.)
If you think you can impeach Hilberg's research, have at it. But I think that more obsessed adversaries than you have tried.
As far as my own personal research, I'll put it up against yours any day. I haven't looked into what's called "Holocaust denial" for 15 years. But it really doesn't take take nearly that long to detect the overall fraudulence of the position. The HD people are a study in moved goalposts and non-falsifiable hypotheses.
And, mind you, adherence to that viewpoint isn't exactly serving the cause of restraining Israeli militarism.
Iran has been 'under attack' for decades. Feb 2007 the Russian military were convinced the U.S. would shortly follow up on the demonization of a nation - one of several - which promoted nuclear disarmament and worked tirelessly towards that objective : despite the risks of foreign spies not only verifying that they were helpless to retaliate to nuclear attack in kind, but of other defensive capacities as well.
For this presumption they have been hit by economic warfare which was based on the claim that nuclear armed nations could read their real intentions.
And the Holocaust itself is said by Iran to be dishonoured by Israel...as it subjects Semites and more to internment and apartheid : Palestine captive behind the Wall.
Russia supplies fuel and tech to Iran - a close neighbour. Yet in the 60's Turkish sites equipped with nuclear missiles were the impetus for doing likewise in Cuba. Yet Putin went so far as to state any attack on its clients' nuclear industry would be received as if it were an attack on Russia itself....a warning from one who has ICBMs with MIRVs lost in the hoo-haw about the Phantom Menace.

Gaddafi’s Fateful Speech
So tonight, the youth, all the youths, not those rats who’ve taken the pills, all the youths tomorrow form security committees from tonight, they put green with red writing secure the cities, to bring back security to the cities. - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Gaddafi:
Installing Projection Biasa ruthless dictator that has no conscience and will destroy anyone or anything in his way…That is just his nature. There are some creatures that are like that.
a person subconsciously denies his or her own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, usually to other people. Thus, projection involves imagining or projecting the belief that others originate those feelings.[1]
I thought Clinton was talking about how Amerika behaves when anyone gets between us and our oil, the same could be said for the Europeans.
The BS about the African mercenaries lead to the slaughter of innocent African workers but i guess that is OK since Libya’s oil is back under western oil companies control.

Libya and “The Arab Spring”: Neoliberalism, “Regime Change” and NATO’s “Humanitarian Wars”
This selection of articles is intended to dispel the notion that the “Arab Spring” is just a pro-democracy movement spreading spontaneously from country to country, opening the way to a meaningful change in the political and economic landscape. The term “Arab Spring” is itself a Western-imposed term conjured up by people who appear to have little understanding of the complexities and realities of the region.
( Ahem. They have negative interest in transmitting knowledge of these complexities. )
America is no “role model” of democratization for the Arab World, comprising some 22 countries with a combined population of 300 million. US military presence imposed on Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and other Arab countries over decades, coupled with Washington-inspired “free market” reforms, are the root cause of state violence. [ Free Market = Globalization = New World Order referred to by George Bush Sr. in speeches. Why is this Monroe Doctrine expanded to global conquest and the PNAC treated as if it was another episode of 'Pinky and the Brain'] ?

workingclass commented on the blog post Occupy Boulder Threatened with Eviction, Organizes Town Hall for 5pm on Wed
The occupiers are the best people in this country. But they are sitting ducks in their urban encampments. I am a (modest) supporter of Supply OWS and I hope there are still gains to be made by this tactic. Much has been accomplished already and many have been radicalized thanks to DHS.
The Occupy movement needs *legal* base camps. Actual buildings with actual occupancy permits in sectors where space is available on the cheap. There they could begin to perform the functions of a shadow government. A good place to start would be assistance to the homeless. And they could foray where they choose and have a place to return to when they get out of jail. Of course the rest of us would have to step up our support. Eventually we will occupy the whole country as sovereign citizens like we are meant to be.
Thank you for all you do Jane and Company.
Obama Administration Will Abolish The Most Successful Minority Job Creation Program in U.S. History
For almost two decades I’ve watched federal agencies adopt policies and procedures that result in the gradual dismantling of federal programs for small businesses. Most of these policy changes are in clear violation of the Small Business Act of 1953, which mandates that 23 percent of all federal contracts must go to small businesses. Traditionally you’ll see the Whitehouse and federal agencies bury these anti-small business policy announcements in the Federal Register at times when reporters are less likely to see it, like the busy holiday season.
This seems to continue under Democrats or Republicans, most likely due to the avalanche of lobbying dollars spent by the defense and aerospace industries to acquire the majority of all federal contracts awarded each year.

COMMENT & INFORMATION ON CLIMATE CHANGE
PRINCE PHILIP LAMENTS "USELESS" WIND FARMS
In a robust discussion with a director of an energy firm, Prince Philip described wind farms as "absolutely useless" and "a disgrace". The U.K. Telegraph said the Prince's comments were supported by an increasing number of groups opposed to wind farms. This opposition to wind farms has spread to Denmark, often held up as the poster boy of success. The Danish government has banned any further on-shore wind farms because as the size of turbines grow, so do the complaints about noise and health effects.
The hidden costs and the farce of the 'Danish success' with wind energy are exposed in this peer-reviewed study of the false claims of economic and jobs value of wind energy.
Energy companies however, will have more to worry about in Australia than the Prince's strong opposition to the previously unquestioned acceptance of the 'fairy tale' that is wind energy.
But the growing incidence of turbine fires [graphic photos in PowerPoint] in Australia, the inability to extinguish because of the turbine height and the big payouts will concern energy companies and nearby residents alike.
