Hitler was kind of like the German Obama. He was also "new age". Vegetarian, no alcohol or tobacco and into spiritual stuff like Theosophy. The SS was all about secret rituals, maintaining the earth and nature...and HomeLand, I mean FatherLand security. Also the communists were referred to as terrorists. They had their own little 911, called the Reichstag fire in 1933. After that, no one was allowed to have a gun and you could throw anyone in jail you wanted by suspecting they might be a communist. The mainstream media was also controlled, of course. Talk about "support the troops", they had that shit down ! Sharpest uniforms in history...gotta give them that.
Hitler invented the Volkswagen (a car for the people), and designed a familar logo we still use today...that ring symbol for the Olympics. He adopted the Roman policy of giving the masses a lot of sports to occupy their time with. While they are playing stupid games, you can fuck 'em over before they know what hit him.
You can see why Hitler was considered cool in 1938

Prof Murder also knows about Bush's grandfather, Prescott, doing a lot of business with the Nazis. It might already be in your linx)...
Heres an exerpt from an article by mainstream paper The Guardian:
"Remarkably, little of Bush's dealings with Germany has received public scrutiny, partly because of the secret status of the documentation involving him. But now the multibillion dollar legal action for damages by two Holocaust survivors against the Bush family, and the imminent publication of three books on the subject are threatening to make Prescott Bush's business history an uncomfortable issue for his grandson, George W, as he seeks re-election."

the German Obama? pathetic, no wonder fascist rule...

"Nothing will benefit human health
and increase chances for survival of life on Earth
as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet."

~Albert Einstein


The teabog ditzo's are why fascist continue to steal from Americans.
Just plain lapdog stupid. Blame Obama while Boosh still pilages. The reason the drug war continues is because of the appeasers, flapping their gums, mouthfarting idiocy. While the war perpetuates. Just hope they don't breed...

To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands.
But the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
If you know the enemy, and know yourself, you need not fear the outcome of a hundred battles.
If you know yourself, but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer defeat.
If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

Bush Property Seized--Trading with the Enemy


In October 1942, ten months after entering World War II, America was preparing its first assault against Nazi military forces. Prescott Bush was managing partner of Brown Brothers Harriman. His 18-year-old son George, the future U.S. President, had just begun training to become a naval pilot. On Oct. 20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered the seizure of Nazi German banking operations in New York City which were being conducted by Prescott Bush.

Under the Trading with the Enemy Act, the government took over the Union Banking Corporation, in which Bush was a director. The U.S. Alien Property Custodian seized Union Banking Corp.'s stock shares, all of which were owned by Prescott Bush, E. Roland `` Bunny '' Harriman, three Nazi executives, and two other associates of Bush.@s1

George Bush:The Unauthorized Biography

Italian fascism and German Nazism had their admirers within the U.S. business community and the corporate owned press. Bankers, publishers, and industrialists, including the likes of Henry Ford, traveled to Rome and Berlin to pay homage, receive medals, and strike profitable deals. Many did their utmost to advance the Nazi war effort, sharing military industrial secrets and engaging in secret transactions with the Nazi government, even after the United States entered the war. During the 1920s and early 1930s, major publications like Fortune, the Wall Street Journal, Saturday Evening Post, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and Christian Science Monitor hailed Mussolini as the man who rescued Italy from anarchy and radicalism.

"Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith . . . we need believing people."
Adolf Hitler, April 26, 1933, from a speech made during negotiations leading to the Nazi Vatican Concordant of 1933




Bush family history with Nazism

In another Simpson book, "The Splendid Blonde Beast," the author wrote about George H. W. Bush's father, Prescott, and his maternal grandfather, George Herbert Walker. Both Bert Walker and Prescott Bush were powerful financial supporters of Adolf Hitler.

Walker was president of Union Banking Corporation, a firm that traded with Germany and helped German industrialists consolidate Hitler's political power. Simpson says Union Banking became a Nazi money-laundering machine.

Walker helped take over North American operations of Hamburg-Amerika Line, a shipping line and cover for I. G. Farben's Nazi espionage unit in the U. S. Hamburg-Amerika smuggled in German agents, and brought in money for bribing American politicians to support Hitler. A 1934 congressional investigation showed Hamburg-Amerika subsidized Nazi propaganda efforts in the U. S.

George H. W. Bush's father, Prescott, was a board member of Union Banking and a senior partner in a Union Banking affiliate -- the investment firm Brown Brothers, Harriman. The U. S. government investigated both Bert Walker and Prescott Bush, and under the Trading with the Enemy Act seized all shares of Union Banking, including shares held by Prescott Bush. The government held that "huge sections of Prescott Bush's empire had been operated on behalf of Nazi Germany and had greatly assisted the German war effort."

American Manifest Destiny comes to Germany Via $$ & Hitler cult

Flappy, you missed the point of the fund connections, "Big Money".

Hitler was not the German Obama, because

Hitler was funded by the "World's Richest of the Rich";
Obama was funded by America's small donors.

Obama's Campaign Takes In $25 Million - washingtonpost.com

Obama surpassed Clinton in several areas that could be critical to their
competition: He reported donations from 100,000 individuals, double the
50,000 people who gave to the former first lady. More than half of those
donors, largely giving in small increments, sent money over the Internet. He
raised $6.9 million online, compared with Clinton's $4.2 million. The fact that
many Obama donors contributed relatively small amounts also means that he
will be able to appeal to those donors for contributions later in the campaign.



And he went up against the Clintons and won.

If he was "one of them" why did they throw the kitchen sink at him?

I'm sure the Clintons are glad he won the Peace Prize.

They're planning the suprise party, right now.



If you read up on Hitler he was a bit of a loon, loner, sexually repressed, thug,
rabble rouser, spy turn coat, superstitous, divinely ordained delusions,
war monger-foot soldier(wwi), book publishing hate monger, public joke.

People considered him a joke for his failed aspirations at power.
But who was still funding him?

Sure wasn't regular germans cause they were carring their money in wheel barrows to buy bread.

None of these guys get in without the banking houses. They virtually choose a president before the elections.

He's going to break a few campaign promises,
let's hope he picks the right group to let down.


Barack Obama's rich supporters fear his tax plans show he's a class warrior - Telegraph

Wealthy Wall Street financiers and other business figures provided crucial
support for Mr Obama during the election, backing him over the Republican
candidate John McCain as the right leader to rescue the collapsing US
economy.

But it is now dawning on many among them that Mr Obama was serious about
his campaign trail promises to bring root and branch reform to corporate
America - and that they were more than just election rhetoric.


Firedoglake Offshore Banking Business: Obama’s Rich Donors Threaten Him over Closing Foreign Tax Havens

One of the most bold and impressive aspects of Obama’s budget plan is the
decision to plug the huge loopholes that allow American companies to hide
assets and evade paying their taxes, and hire 800 IRS agents to enforce it

Swiss Secrecy Onslaught May ?Criminalize? Elites, Hummler Says - Bloomberg.com

Sept. 24 (Bloomberg) -- European leaders should give up the attack on Swiss
banking secrecy and accept a withholding tax on foreigners to avoid
criminalizing wealthy taxpayers, said Konrad Hummler, managing partner of
Switzerland’s oldest private bank.

“If there is really a desire to criminalize part of the elite in European
countries, then it would be a bigger problem for these countries than for
Switzerland,” Konrad Hummler said in an interview at the offices of Wegelin &
Co. in Zurich. The “majority of European clients were not criminals but just
diversifying away from their home country.”

What, a brain-dead torture victim and an Alaskan soccer mom? They threw the fight! Think about how much media power went into portraying Obama as a political messiah for months before the actual election. Think about how Obama is giving the military industrial complex exactly what they wanted. Obama was always going to be their guy; we have no way of knowing how often or how deep the corporate powers of America have invested in him beyond his declared corporate donations, how many favours or agreements he may have entered into, but it would be extremely naive to assume that a man could rise so drastically from obscurity to the pole position in the Democratic party without being lifted onto the shoulders of industry giants.

Anyway, I only came back here to ask; where do I line up to collect my "I Told You Fucking So" medal? Because, y'know, I told you he was going to perpetuate the wars. Of-course, not in my wildest dreams could I have imagined he'd be given the fucking peace prize for it, but that's life for you.

while i condemn the military commitment obama has made, i think you're stretching it a bit by saying he's giving "exactly what they wanted."

also, obama himself said he was going to perpetuate the wars. sorry man but it looks like he got that award too. his mantle must be getting crowded

I can't imagine why they'd complain, the military-industrial complex has got their way so far and I can't imagine their boy is planning to do anything that would upset his bosses. The farcical "closing" of one illegal torture camp does not constitute "change".

That's what I was saying at the time. Remember? People were so drunk on the propaganda, they insisted to me that Obama had promised full withdrawals from Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama won the election because supposed anti-war voters fail at basic reading comprehension.

In My opinion it will be the people who sit in buildings that dont see whats actually going on! the government keep worrying about big companies not the people who actually make this country profit by working there asses off for what minimun wage and still buy within the country? Dont you think people who provide items that are crutial for us to survive and eat should get paid dirt while people who invent or make toys/games get paid a hell of alot more and thats something we dont need to survive all it is wants not needs, you need water not a gameboy, You need food/meats that isnt diseased but how can this be when they caint afford to properly raise these animals for food when they barely make money off what they sell? idk im not a politician but i still have always had common sense the government out of control, the big companies are out of control, in fact al.l the bailout money went to who, the people who always took our money and still blow it, how many chances do they get when the people (us) get one! Im getting fed up with the people who decide whats right and whats wrong, who the fuck are they to me and you!! but thats my opinion itll never be right again no matter who we have as a president! i dont think obama should got the nobel peace prize he hasnt done anything different he said he was against sending more troops yet 30,000 more are going, he wants to create more jobs, but instead more loose there jobs, he hasnt done enough you might say thats not fair to say, but he hasnt and caint with all these people who have this power to change the mind of our own president is anyone safe!?? In god i trust, Our government is a joke! We are being lead like blind SHEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to a fucking cliff!!

One of two men was going to get elected, that's a given. If there was any chance whatsoever that the wars would end it was with obama getting elected. I've listened to so many people gloat and say 'I told you so' when in reality most everyone knew it would be business as usual but were grasping to that shred of a chance that things might change. Now if boots on the ground mccain had won would people be gloating about how neck deep in shit he had gotten us into in Iran, N.Korea, Russia...

No they wouldn't, America's resources can't stretch that far. He would only have pushed the conflicts as far as he was allowed, with the exact same results that Obama is currently achieving, and unlike Obama he wouldn't have a Nobel Peace Prize or this cult of messianic worship which to this day clouds the perceptions of so many of his supporters. Electing McCain wouldn't have been better or worse, it would only have been less sickening to watch.

There were anti-war candidates in 08, and people could have voted for them. Instead they decided to vote for the guy whom everybody already knew would win, the guy who was going to "Change" absolutely nothing as we suspected, the guy who was already well in the establishment's pocket. They voted for the propagation of the status quo because genuine change is a terrifying notion to middle-class Americans; they chose the easy comfort of the lie over the painful sacrifice needed to end the war on terror. Sad but true.

^Yeah, the lesser of 2 evils. I was praying for a Kerry win in '04 even though I voted libertarian (as always), but would it have made a difference (if kerry won)? Possibly, but look at 0 is doing! He is escalating the war and you can't give 0 credit for the fact that things have calmed down in Iraq. Otherwise he might be sending more soldiers there too.

We don't have the resources to be conducting two occupations but we continue to do so. I think mccain would have re-enlisted himself to get mccrackhead his 80,000 troops and we have plenty of toys in stock to "take out" Iran's imaginary nukes.

We all know about the hold the two party system has in this country. I voted for Ed Clark in 1980 and I'm not even a libertarian. Here we are in 09 and not a fucking thing has changed.

If that's true then I think you have an exceptionally naive view of politics... and knowing you're an intelligent man I'm perfectly ready to believe that it's not true. You can't judge the qualities of a politician's character based on their public persona any more than you can judge an actor's personal qualities based on their performance in a role. The people who pay McCain's bills are the same people who pay Obama's, and we can assume that those profit-driven people do not want America's few remaining resources stretched unprofitably thin across Iran and Russia, especially while so much money is made in the Middle East; therefore, even if McCain was the raving lunatic the mainstream media portrayed him as (which is about as likely as Heath Ledger really being The Joker), he still would never be allowed to do such outrageous and impractical things while under the employ of the powers that be. What he would be obliged to do is exactly what Obama is doing now, meaning we're no further forwards than we would be if McCain had been the one they chose.

America doesn't want change, that's why they voted for "Change(TM)" instead. Americans like glossy advertising campaigns. Most humans do, but Americans really like 'em.

stateofkane: true, but the lesser of two evils is still evil, and people who knowingly vote for evil are gonna get exactly what they ask for.

A true anti-war candidate couldn't possibly get elected if what you say is true and if they did get elected, they would have their bills paid by the same people paying the warmonger's bills. So I guess change is virtually impossible because the powers that be are so entrenched.

Obama is what he is to any given person. But nobody can deny his election was a shift of incredible magnitude on many fronts. The way I see it is, if Obama fulfills even a fraction of his promises, he marks a major change in how people feel about government. If he ends up proving to be a total fraud...he marks a major change in how people feel about government. Either way, there are shifts underway and I feel they are all positive in the aspect that we, as a country, are becoming more aware of the process each day. I never thought I'd see the day where neo-cons were complaining about big government or liberals supporting an increase in troop levels. Obama has stirred things up on many levels, in the US and across the world, and that alone is significant enough for me.

Change in this country always has seemed impossible at the time, yet hindsight proves that it was happening all along.

GOP Chickenhawk Deadbeats sticking Taxpayers with the bill

"...somebody has to take governments' place,
and business seems to me to be a logical entity to do it."
- David Rockefeller - Newsweek International, Feb 1 1999


GOPerverts need to stop this pitiful struggle to survive, just go die and decay where we can't smell it. Or hear the whiny selfish moans. With McCon we would have had three or four wars. And a commitment to stay in scam iraq 100 years. Bomb bomb bomb, Bomb bomb Iran. Plus his old lady stole drugs she was addicted to from a charity and makes a fortune as a beer distributor/prohibitionist. Kucinich, Nader and Ron Paul were the only humans running on the American ticket. The rest are just different cuts of Wall Street moneysluts. But when the people speak out for health benefits or ending the Ganjawar. Self appointed moralists herding self imposed slaves, swift-boating anything dictated. Blind ignorant lapdogs that deserve to be sleeping outdoors, chained up so their incessant barking doesn't keep the kids up at night. Especially those without health insurance. $600 million spent in propaganda. Who sucked it up lock stock and barrel Qerry?

The same naive even entering a thought of comparing Obama to the Boosh Klan. This is 50 years of manipulating government for personal gain compared to someone ain't even 50. Just cowards afraid to make an informed decision so they censor everyone else. Your not invisible as you think. The majority of honest hard working Americans aren't that stupid either. It doesn't work so Qerry tell your bossman the fear of "Liberals" is only diverting from bonafide thieves and liar Neocons child abuse deregulating safeguards jeopardizing everyones health and well being and pursuits of happiness, for G-20 greed. Wake up assholes!


History's Verdict In on George "Loser" Bush
The non-profit History News Network has just released results of a survey of 109 professional US historians. By a margin of slightly over 98% they declared the presidency of George w. Bush a failure. It seems two of the 109, or a whopping 1.8%, judged the Bush presidency a success. 61% of the historians polled opined that the Bush presidency has been the worst in American history. Another 35% ranked Bush in the bottom quartile.



McCain Should Know The Truth

Obama Tilts Toward Iran Contra Gates

The prohibitionists/modern nazi's from hell, have no qualms about seeing UFO's, believing virgin births or that Boosh Jr was the second cumming. Blind faith in Fox propagandists while burying themselves in deniel over Ganja and even Hemp. Its one thing when teabog ditzo's swig a Lone Star and do goofy shit. I hear they worship smoke stacks. But when tax paid employees do it, I think that is not representing me or my tax dollar. Fire the Swine!

Cannabis Shrinks Tumors: Government Knew in 74
( Wednesday, March 28, The United States Supreme Court rules on whether marijuana use for medicinal purposes can be a valid defense on charges of marijuana possession. The following article was listed as one of the top 25 censored stories of the year 2000. We reprint it here and pose the question, why would the government want to keep us from knowing this? )

Beck and Palin Officially Retarded

A new, high resolution, interactive map of United States carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels has found that the emissions aren't all where we thought. The maps and system, called Vulcan, show CO2 emissions at more than 100 times more detail than was available before. Until now, data on carbon dioxide emissions were reported, in the best cases, monthly at the level of an entire state grid. The Vulcan model examines CO2 emissions at local levels on an hourly basis. Purdue researchers say the maps are also more accurate than previous data because they are based on greenhouse gas emissions instead of estimates based on population in areas of the United States.

hostile, I thought Boosh Cheney would be a wake up call to the sheep over Gore Liebermen Same Old Shit. Boosh 1 and Junior showed obvious fascist methods, just check his Texas record and how he and his bro Jeb got Governorships for their Birthday presents. Lowest education and highest pollution, for the kids. At least it would be full view wide screen making Rayguns look like an Acorn. Out fucking the people over his own daddya. Something that might bring truth to the Ganjawar and the blatent lies perpetuating it. Thus free the weed since Klintoon Gore sold out for 8 years why let them continue. The third option was best but a conglomeration of boomer gimmegimmies, me me me. So splintered no chance for a dent. Klintoons plan scam colombia and Als occidental oil or predictably rape and pillage as every smidgeon of a Boosh has done since Prescott kissed Hitlers ass.

Klintoon intervening with the Supremes, mixing government powers. Patriot Ax and higher Education Ax both under Klintoon Gored and J Edgar Reno. Ashcrap even protested it while spending $8,000 on drapes covering Spirit of Justice. Klintoon was bought in Arkansas,, and before that in Berkeley then Oxford. Nark Boosh CIA operative. Obama may have made some deals with that cartel. Skolsnick was researching him and died. Thompson was researching 9-11 and oops. Peter McWilliams Paul Wellstone John Jr and Lennon, I think Obama gets the drift, and has better stage presence for the world to calm down after president Cheney's debacle. The only reason he isn't hanged upside down in front of the white house is the media is owned by 5 corporations and no one has time or energy working two jobs while AIG topcocks get $100,000.00 an hour driving cost beyond the workers ability. Obama has said all along, its up to us if we want change. Obviously teabog ditzo's want to follow their masters. Pitifucking fools!




Shirley the sheep will get off their partisan bickering and register and vote for a respite at least. Just stop and take a breather. No more loans no more wars. No one would be that partisan to vote for the status weird. But they did. And they still do. As much as the lesson to the people not to trust Boosh or his Klan, was proven beyond a doubt to even the most naive such Qerry and perhaps as yourself. Boosh proved to be better at taking orders than anyone in History. There is a small world of difference in the lesser evil, or respites in the Ganjawar with state initiatives until the Nixon lie is outed and corrected by trashing the CSA. Boosh's "base" is different than Obama Daly crap games. Boosh Cheney and the Halliburton tape worms pure profit after Mission Accomplished converted a sanctioned non profit war into a for profit police action like Nam, Korea and Kosovo. Or the Ganjawar. Obama doesn't have any personal gain outside of maybe Corporatists and Insurance hedging bets backing both sides.

Al Capone andWatergate were red herrings to divert the countries attention from the Fascist acts of eliminating competition. Booze or Ganja/Hemp. While GOPerverts and Demonkrats bicker over nonsense. Half the population can not vote. Half who can, do not register. Have registered don’t vote. The voters are split equally between the same WTO Neocon fascists. Meaning twice as many not registering and not voting could decide the outcome, but choose to be apathetic and keep the status weird in power.




Pat Robertson Fortune 700 Club devotees Hara-kiri after watching their smoke stacks taken down. Oil junkie rigs encased in Isochanvre. Fast fat banned and cattle fed to the wolves in Alaska. No guns for anyone under 65. Drunks can drive inebriated one day a year so they can crash into each other making it a little safer for the innocents they seem to aim for. Lose their license and have to go to Ganja school to learn rage control. Prisons to Hemp Factories and hard core drug worrier schizoids de-programming...
