Hitler 1938...Cheney 2007?

by element115
Do the lessons of World War II have any bearing on today's ongoing showdown in the Persian Gulf? Is the "War Party" inside the Bush Administration, headed by Vice President Dick Cheney, borrowing a page from Hitler's 1936-39 playbook, carefully orchestrating a near- term war with Iran? Recent events, when viewed through the lens of history, suggest that this may be precisely what is going on.

Presidential Stone Walls

by element115
The template for the Bush administration’s mania for secrecy was signed by the president six years ago — Executive Order 13233, reversing the presumption of right of public access to presidential papers. This basic right of taxpayers and historians alike was embedded in the 1978 laws enacted after the Nixon administration. The reforms established a reasonable 12-year waiting period for access. But Mr. Bush’s reversal lets presidents or vice presidents (guess who?) keep their records sealed in perpetuity unless they or their heirs approve access.

Happily, some of them have access to the internet and have sufficient knowledge of one of our "western" languages to tell us what is going on in this hell on earth deliberately created by their Zionist tormentors.

It is enough to make any genuine human being weep, howver strong we may consider ourselves to be, to contemplate the suffering so viciously caused, without any feeling for their fellow human beings, by the invaders of the Holy Land.

What does Mr George W. Bush, the figurehead of the worshippers of Mammon, do to right the many wrongs suffered?

Plot to destroy airport 'fantasy'

June 6, 2007 by element115
The alleged plot to blow up fuel tanks and pipelines at New York's JFK airport had little chance of success, according to safety experts, who have questioned whether the plot ever posed a real threat.
Experts say it would have been next to impossible to cause an explosion in the jet fuel tanks and pipeline. And the plotters appeared to lack both the explosives and the financial backing to carry out the attack.

"Verschärfte Vernehmung"

by element115
The phrase "Verschärfte Vernehmung" is German for "enhanced interrogation". Other translations include "intensified interrogation" or "sharpened interrogation". It's a phrase that appears to have been concocted in 1937, to describe a form of torture that would leave no marks, and hence save the embarrassment pre-war Nazi officials were experiencing as their wounded torture victims ended up in court. The methods, as you can see above, are indistinguishable from those described as "enhanced interrogation techniques" by the president. As you can see from the Gestapo memo, moreover, the Nazis were adamant that their "enhanced interrogation techniques" would be carefully restricted and controlled, monitored by an elite professional staff, of the kind recommended by Charles Krauthammer, and strictly reserved for certain categories of prisoner. At least, that was the original plan.
