“Of course the people don’t want war. But after all, it’s the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it’s always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it’s a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger.”
Herman Goering at the Nuremberg Trials.
The aggressive manipulation of all available media triggered the psychological mechanism that convinced the German people that social, political and ethnic minorities were to blame for the problems of the Great Depression, when the nation’s currency became virtually worthless and unemployment topped six million.
Testimony at the Nuremberg Trials revealed that only weeks after gaining power with a small majority, the Nazis burned down the Reichstag on February 27th 1933, blaming it on Communist terrorists, in a False Flag Terrorist Operation which was used as a justification to impose fascist dictatorship on the German people.
A mentally disturbed, unemployed Dutchman, Marinus van der Lubbe, who was beheaded for the crime following the obligatory Nazi show-trial, was officially pardoned by the German government in January 2008.
The National Socialists then dragged Germany out of the depression by its jackboot-straps, with forced employment in the burgeoning arms, steel and coal industries, as well as the constantly swelling armed forces, agricultural labour camps and civil bureaucracy.
By 1939, official unemployment statistics stated that there were only 300,000 people out of work, although that figure excluded women and Jews, the latter being omitted after they were stripped of their rights to citizenship in 1935.
Pride, prosperity and violent nationalism were swallowing German society whole by the 1936 Berlin Olympics, when African-American, Jesse Owens, embarrassed the Fuhrer by winning four gold medals. Despite this, only three years before the invasion of Poland, Nazi Berlin was considered by the social elite to be the most fashionable city in post-depression, pre-war Europe.
Founding member of the Bilderberg Group, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, was both a permanent resident of Berlin and a card-carrying member of the Nazi Party. According to Gyeorgos C. Hatonn in RAPE OF THE CONSTITUTION: DEATH AND FREEDOM, the prince was an officer in the Reitter S.S. Corp in the early 1930’s, as well as a board member of I.G. Farben subsidiary, Farben Bilder.
Hitler’s rise to power was financed by international bankers and industrialists; most famously by steel magnate, Fritz Thyssen, who laundered vast amounts of Nazi capital through American banks, Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH) and United Banking Corporation of New York (UBC), with the alleged cooperation of a Dutch intelligence unit commanded by Prince Bernhard.
Bush, Bernhard, Thyssen and the Nazis
These business relationships continued to flourish during and after World War II, despite widespread intelligence of the extermination of Jews, Romany Gypsies, Roman Catholics, Trotskyites, the mentally and physically disabled, homosexuals and other minorities from as early as 1937.
The allegations against Coca-Cola, which created Fanta Orange for the Nazis, IBM, which provided its punch-card computer system for the death camps, as well as BBH and UBC, both of which served as offshore vaults for Nazi funds, holdings and assets, are well documented, yet rarely even mentioned in the mainstream media. It is also widely believed that UBC was in reality owned by the Thyssen family.
This fact is all the more revealing and sinister because George W. Bush’s grandfather, Prescott Bush, worked for BBH, and was a board member and shareholder of UBC. Along with Avril Harriman, Bush provided the Wall Street front for the Nazi war machine by claiming ownership of assets that in reality belonged to Thyssen.
Bush, the Rockefellers and the Du Pont family were also at the centre of a nefarious plot to impose fascist dictatorship upon America in 1933 – the year Hitler imposed Nazi control over Germany. Both movements were financed by the same international banking interests.
The plot was apparently foiled because its corporate conspirators enlisted the services of the highly decorated, Major General Smedley Butler, to lead the military coup, and then oversee the declaration of martial law. Instead, during testimony he gave to a Congressional Committee in 1934, Butler publicly exposed the plans of the internationalists, who wanted to replace the elected leader, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, with Nazi-style fascist dictatorship controlled by their multinational corporations.
The alleged conspirators were the American Liberty League, financed by the Du Ponts, US Steel, General Motors and Rockefeller Standard Oil interests, including Chase National Bank. To date, no charges have been brought against any of the individuals or corporations involved, whose power and wealth have continued to grow exponentially, suggesting that Butler’s expose was carefully planned to give the false impression that the “Land of the Free” had been saved from fascism.
