Here There Be Traitors

Something a little different for this Memorial Day. I’m still honouring and remembering all those who gave everything for their country. How could I not? My family has fought in pretty much every war this country was in and even before there was a country. They started with King Philip’s War, King William’s War, the Battle of Quebec in 1690, The French and Indian Wars and kept going with the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil War, …. Your history classes maybe mentioned the French and Indian War, but never mentioned the 1st three nor mentioned the French and Indian Wars were four wars.

I guarantee the story of the traitors I’m about to get to was never mentioned in your history class. You have to take schoolbook history with not a grain, but several tons of salt. Edison did not invent the light bulb, Marconi didn’t invent radio, …

Traitors live and prosper among us is never going to be taught, They’ve missed the dishonour they so rightly deserve. Let’s rectify that too this Memorial Day. They deserve equal time, don’t you think? It’s only fair (and balanced).

This will be a long one. There are a large number of traitors to vilify, revile and generally abuse for putting profit before country. There is no patriotism when profit calls. It’s only a sampler. I’m trying to keep this an essay, not a book.

Prescott Bush, George’s pappy and Dubbya’s grand-pappy, was money launderer in chief for Adolf and Fiends, using Swiss bank, BIS to to bypass those pesky blocked bank accounts the Nazis couldn’t access. With one little bounce through BIS the money was ‘clean’, and Prescott richer. Prescott and Union Banking Corp. were eventually shut down, stock and money seized, but after the war, he got all his ill gotten gains back. Union Banking Corp wasn’t the only traitorous Bankster. JP Morgan, Chase and others all played the money beats morals game.

IBM was invaluable to the Final Solution by converting census data into an efficient list of people to send to concentration camps and helped keep the trains to Auschwitz running on time. Besides money, CEO Thomas Watson was awarded the Grand Cross of the German Eagle by Hitler for his help.

Texaco, sold petroleum to Franco’s regime during the Spanish Civil War and later Nazi Germany. The US issued an oil embargo. Texaco violated it and was fined. Texaco stopped, were a good little oil corporation, and everyone lived happily ever after. Sorry, that’s a fairy tale. The Texaco board said, “There’s gold in them there wars!” They continued shipping oil to Franco and Adolf. They just made sure they wouldn’t get caught again. Texaco’s profit margin dropped a little bit. They had the extra expense of buying flags and paint to re-flag and re-christen Texaco tankers in mid-Atlantic. Hocus pocus, presto changeo tankers ‘belong’ to some other company and country. Plausible deniability!

You can run a jet on nearly anything that will burn, but piston powered aviation engines need high octane gasoline. That means tetraethyl lead for leaded gas. Unleaded just doesn’t cut it for Blitzkrieging. Standard Oil and GM jointly owned the Ethyl corporation, the world’s sole source of tetraethyl lead. Surely that meant the Nazis were cut off. You don’t know corporations very well, do you? They played the old shuffle your shipments through another country game. In this case ‘selling’ buttloads to the Netherlands. “It’s not our fault if the Germans ship it to Germany.” How many people died because GM and Standard Oil kept Nazi warplanes flying?

GM again with a new dance partner. When the German subsidiaries of Ford and GM were asked by Adolf & Fiends to convert to war production, they clicked their heels smartly and said, “Zum befehl, mein Führer. Sieg heil!” with the blessing of the US parent corporations. But, when asked to retool US factories for war production, GM and Ford balked. I guess Adolf paid better. Ford made millions using slave labour in its plants. Ford was also allied with IG Farben in the Buna chemical plant at Auschwitz. They used slave labour to produce Zyklon-B gas for the ‘showers’. That’s right, the prisoners made the poison gas to kill themselves. That’s Teutonic efficiency. After the war Ford & GM were able to collect all that lovely Nazi profit locked up in blocked bank accounts. On top of that they had the unmitigated gall to sue the US for the damage allied bombers did to their German factories. Yes, the bastards won their suits, earning nice little multi-million dollar bonuses for their treachery.

I guess I should begin wrapping it up and just list the rest of the traitors by name:

  • Alcoa,
  • ITT,
  • General Electric,
  • Dupont,
  • Kodak,
  • Westinghouse,
  • Pratt & Whitney,
  • Douglas Aircraft,
  • United Fruit,
  • Singer,
  • International Harvester,
  • and more all greedily joined in for their share of the Nazi profit bonanza.

Can’t forget Big daddy Fred Koch(sucker) sire of Chuckie and Davie Koch(sucker). He was a minor traitor, but took took money from anybody, Commies, Nazis, anyone. He’d be dealing with Lil Kim and Iran right now if still alive. His whelps very likely are. It’s all about the Benjamins, can’t buy politicians without them.

Now, don’t think corporate  treason began or ended with WW2. Corporate greed is eternal. While Iran was still under sanction, Dick Cheney’s Haliburton, really wanted to sell oilfield and refinery equipment to Iran. Black gold means real gold. “We don’t need no steekin sanctions!” They added the good old subsidiary shuffle to their dance card. Haliburton US has hundreds of wholly owned and controlled foreign subsidiaries. (Of course, they do. Don’t evade taxes without them.) Cheney’s corporation bounced their US inventory through subsidiaries until they got to Haliburton Dubai. Dubai wasn’t one of the countries enforcing sanctions on Iran. How fortuitous! The product bounced from Haliburton Dubai, across the Persian Gulf to Haliburton Iran and bingo money bounced back to Haliburton US. Haliburton US claimed to have no control over their wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries and got off Scot-free.

Remember, there are no morals or patriotism where corporate greed is involved. On this day honour and remember the patriots who gave everything for their country. They deserve it.

But, never forget to hate and revile the corporate traitors, who place profit above patriotism and morals. They are deserving too. Deserving of your revulsion.

Those who forget history are destined to repeat it. You can be sure the treason continues. You don’t think that the above villains and others aren’t doing a booming business with Lil Kim despite the sanctions against North Korea. They are. A little detour though China and it’s sanctions, what sanctions?

Them vs Us

It’s Holocaust Remembrance Day. The holocaust was a horrible period of the inhumanity of man towards his fellow man. Hitler and his fascist minions bear primary responsibility. But, almost all the occupied countries were very willing accomplices.

How could such a thing happen. Hitler played the division game. It’s Us versus Them. #45 is playing that game today to create division and hate against Blacks (all thugs), Hispanics (rapists and murderers), Haitians (all have AIDS), Muslims (all terrorists), immigrants, shithole countries. It’s always easy to convince losers that all their problems are because of Them, no matter who Them are.

In Nazi Germany, Hitler used Jews as Them. The occupied countries hopped on the bandwagon because the Jewish people were Them, not Us, throughout almost all of Europe. French Gendarmes rounded up Jews for Hitler. Poles happily ran the ovens and cut firewood for the cremation pits. All were willing to help get rid of Them.

Only one country resisted participation in Hitler’s genocide, Denmark. When they got word of the impending round up, the people got the word out and hid Jews. They evacuated 7,220 of Denmark’s 7,800 Jews to Sweden. Denmark interceded on behalf of the 464 Danish Jews who were captured and deported to the Theresienstadt transit camp. They were held in concentration camps but not sent to the death camps. A small number died in the camp from starvation and illness. But, 99% of Danish Jews survived the holocaust.

How did that happen? The Danes didn’t consider their Jewish countrymen as Them. They were Us, fellow Danish citizens.

Be like Denmark! Don’t let politicians and hate mongers play the Us versus Them division game with you.

Rapesody in Orange (Blowhardian Rapesody)

If I should come down by this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really happened.

Sends shivers down your spine,

Goodbye, everybody, I’ve got to tweet,
Gotta leave you all behind and push alt truth.

Grabbing pussy in extreme luxury.

No one really matters,
Anyone can see,

No one really matters but me.

As long as I got blow.

 

America Was Founded By Refugees and Criminals

The pants pissing and pooping paranoids who are afraid of refugees forget that this country was settled by people who were refugees or criminals.

Georgia was settled by criminals who made the choice to come to the new world to escape debtors prisons.

The other colonies were founded by refugees from religious persecution. Some were Protestants oppressed because they lived in a Protestant country but weren’t the right kind of Protestant. Others were oppressed because they lived in a Catholic country. And there were even Catholic refugees from Protestant countries.

Religious persecution continued in this country because they didn’t belong to the ‘right’ church. Massachusetts hanged both Baptists and Quakers as heretics because they belonged to the ‘wrong’ church. New England splintered into a number of colonies because if you didn’t belong to the ‘right’ church, it was move or die. That’s the reason freedom of religion is in the First Amendment.

Not that it helped much. People were still lynched because they belonged to the wrong church. The Klan didn’t lynch only Blacks. The strung up Catholics and Jews too.

My sixth Great-Grandfather in 1730 as refugee in the Palatine exodus. The Palatinate was a German state in the Rheinland. They were between the French and German states. They had farms and crops destroyed every time one side or the other came through to keep the other side from getting food. They had to change religions every time a new Elector took power. It was change or die.
