The current wars and WWII Legacy (Iraq, ethical, weapons, conspiracy)

[SIZE=3]America did not learn from the Nazi atrocities, or did they[/SIZE]? this is taken from a blog: SICK HELL

Operation Paperclip. Importation of Nazis to United States. No conspiracy entertainment to gaze at and suppliment your TV veiwing. It is a horrendous reality. There is limited scholarly work on this horrid aspect of US military / intelligence history, but Linda Hunt has written material on this historic reality that should cause anyone to do some thinking about what is hidden in unsolved mysteries, ethical misconduct, human experimentation in the US.

Linda Hunt:

Book: Secret Agenda: The United States Government, Nazi Scientists, and Project Paperclip, 1945 to 1990. by Linda Hunt. (http://www.yamaguchy.netfirms.com/miscell/clip_00.html ).

quote: Hubertus Strughold was a German Nazi aviation medicine scientist who knowingly supervised the murderous experiments at Dachau concentration camp during 1941 and 1942 into the reactions of the human body to low pressure, cold, hypothermia and re-warming using prisoners – many of whom died unnecessarily. Not surprisingly, Strughold was never convicted of his war crimes and after the Second World War like many other Nazi scientists he joined the USAAF to work as a scientist, his research being end quote.

John Pilger (http://www.johnpilger.com/) estimates that about 1 million Iraqis have been killed as a direct result of, as well as fall out from (sectarian violence) the US invasion of Iraq. Is this not GENOCIDE? Are we like the Germans of Nazi German, killing people who are different? It is ok to bomb these people, kill innocence, for they do not look like us. They have different values, customs, economies, histories. I would say that there is a huge moral deficit in the ethos of America. That is my arguement.

What are the numbers? As Americans eat popcorn and sat on couches, glued to the first night of bombing of Bagdad in 2003, did they ever think of what it might be like to have this happen to one of their own cities?

Are we thoughtless, cruel, crippled morally? Does Hollywood desensitize us to violence thousands of miles away, but bought and paid for by our defense budget (tax payer dollars)?

What is going on? A people fed lies, pacified by television, consumerism, and never taugh to think critically.

Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, seem to become literature for a cultivated sector that considers itself liberal leaning, and critically postured, their words are isolated in a nitch market of readership. Bill Moyers is another important figure in this equation that I would see as the amorality of the ethos of America.

To quote:

"War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. In the World War [World War I] a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War. That many admitted huge gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows. [Please note these are 1935 U.S. dollars. To adjust for inflation, multiply all figures X 10 or more]"-read more: http://www.wanttoknow.info/warcoverup

I was strongly against going into Iraq. Now that we are there I think it will be very hard to leave.

The media controls the opinions of people, in very furtive ways, though I mean not to offend anyone who has an opinion. What I mean is that things become simplified and reduced in scope. I say this echoing to some extent Ross Douthat's words in today's NYT op-ed section text 'Hollywood's Political Fiction'.

Hollywood and the media all portray a non-reality. Cultivated is a narrow view. Editors cater to the Pentagon, in a non-direct way, and sensationalism draws emotions.

Ever imagine foreign troops walking in the streets of your city or town, having communications disrupted and services disrupted. Hearing that a family member has died in a bombing, or by gun fire.

It is not a matter of peace. It is a matter of human respect, human rights, and on the other hand domination, destruction, and profits.

The DoD is no different than crack dealers, only they deal in big bucks (heavy financing) from government dollars, and the king pins live in Mansions. Also, they never risk arrest, as thousands die from the reach of their weapons systems, policies, and power.
