Keep the Shiny side up

The infamous Arbeit Macht Frei sign at the entrance to the Auschwitz Nazi death camp in Poland has been stolen.

The wrought iron sign, whose words mean "Work Sets You Free", was unscrewed and pulled down from its position above the gate in the early hours of Friday.

Neo-Nazis or strange Nazi memorabilia collectors, this is just wrong.

Indeed, I hope that it is found and returned.

Although it strikes me kind of ugly that that sign, for that place, issues the very same sentiment our corporate oligarchy uses to bait us into spinning the hamster wheels that make them rich.

"success, pension, retirement..."
As they loot the 401Ks, spin off and bankrupt the pensions, implode social security.

The same lies, leading to the same place, in the end.

Okay. If that happened, it should be listed in the dictionary as an example for the word "irony".

I like the number of subjective moronic statements:


"More than a million people - 90% of them Jews - were murdered by the Nazis at Auschwitz during World War II."


no, probably closer to 50%, but why does it matter. Are jews of a higher or lower value than other humans according to the writer? 1.2 million people were killed at Auschwitz.


"This was not an incident - this was a deliberate and organised action."


Um, sorry morons: Anything that happens is an incident, like an event. The Gulf of Tonkin was an incident, even if it wasn't an attack on the US, which it wasn't, as we knew, but I digress...


the theft "constitutes a true declaration of war".


No, that would be if someone declares war on you. I think a lot of people have already declared war on Israel, only one yahoo delared war on the holocaust museum.



"If they are pranksters, they'd have to be sick," said Michael Schudrich.


Um, and if they're not, then they are beacons of psychological stability?



Hundreds of thousands of prisoners passed under the sign into the camp during the Holocaust, but the majority were murdered or worked to death.


Okay, perhaps there's someone out there who wasn't aware. I see people are still making money off of this little Bush enterprise. Curious side note: Earnings of the parent company Silesian Steel were released to G.H.W. Bush by Truman, and used to fund the creation of Zapata Oil, which in turn... well you get it, it ends in some scene where Tony Shalhoub is yelling at Denzel Washington through a fence...


Perhaps they should consider motivations:

Maybe someone wanted to sell it on ebay.

Usually it's jews who paint swastikas on their doors, so that's probably what happened here.

Perhaps a jew contractor will be paid $1-million for a no-bid contract to replace the sign he stole.



General-President Ike and Churchill were jewish. General Patton opposed their genocide of post-WW2 West Germany, so Patton was assassinated by the kosher Pentagon. Enslavement of Germany was required to justify creation of United Nations Corp and Israel, as front corporations for their kosher New World Order global fascist dictatorship.

Germany’s sovereignty restricted by US and allies, insider’s book claims

07 November, 2009

The former head of the West German Military Intelligence has issued a book revealing secret details of a 1949 US-German treaty, alleging America and its allies have been deliberately suppressing the nation’s sovereignty.

Twenty years after the Berlin Wall fell and the most painful wounds have healed, there seems to be no more uncomfortable truths left for Germans.

Yet some still manage to come up with hot potatoes – and the biggest these days is from the former head of the intelligence service in West Germany.

In Gerd-Helmut Komossa’s book “The German Card”, he claims Germany has, until now, been controlled by the United States and its allies, and was even viewed as a possible target.

“At a NATO meeting, I realized that a possible plan was for the alliance to hit the largest dam in West Germany with a nuclear bomb. If strikes had taken place, a great number of civilians would have died,” Gerd-Helmut Komossa says in his “The German Card” book.

The retired General details a secret pact he alleges was signed in 1949 between Germany and the US, and which will be in force for another 90 years.

Komossa says the secret agreement means that all political parties in Germany are supervised by a special Washington-based body, that the country’s army takes part in all NATO missions at first demand and that all German gold reserves are stored in New York.

For some though, the content of the book came as nothing surprising.

“Remember Prime Minister Putin’s proposal to Germany, to share with Russia natural gas trading throughout Europe? It was made a couple of years ago. And the German leadership answered exactly the same way as the German leadership did in 1952 – with silence. But what is the reason for Germany not to participate in such a lucrative business as trading natural gas throughout Europe? Of course, somebody had to advise them not to rush into it immediately,” says Aleksandr Fomenko, a political analyst from Moscow.

Surprisingly, it was a small publisher from Austria – not Germany – who first became interested in the book.

“My personal opinion is that it was obviously clear that the Democratic Republic of Germany was not a sovereign country, and that it was really under the rule of the Soviet Union,” says Wolfgang Dvorack-Stocker, publisher of “The German Card”. “And if it comes out that the Federal Republic of Germany also was not a really sovereign country, I think this could change the discussion of history a bit.”

Reviews by the first readers quickly turned into heated debates on German Television. The author was bombarded with criticism for doubting the democratic principles brought to the country by the West.

As a result, Komossa has refused to give any more interviews and has even apologized for some uncomfortable chapters in the book.

It’s not every day that a chief of intelligence discloses secrets about a political regime and, with some good promotion, the book could become a bestseller.

But in Germany its distribution is up against some difficulties. The country’s biggest bookshop – Dussmann, which is also “a cultural foundation”, has refused to sell the book at all.

The contents of the book, though, will soon be available to millions more readers. “The German Card” has recently been translated into Russian. The publisher expects strong sales and believes the most heated debates are yet to come.


This explains why my job in US Air Farce in England was nuking West Germany instead of Communist Eastern Europe.

Unintentionally, more. There would be an extra added irony that it would have "Made in China" stamped on the back somewhere.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist this one, cause, well, you just know it's true. Whatever it might imply.

Crazed collector may be responsible for theft of Auschwitz sign
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article6963855.ece

Quote:

The iron sign — which means “Work Sets you Free” — had been split into three parts, each separate word wrapped in cloth and hidden in Polish woodland. Five men, aged between 20 and 39 from the Torun area of northern Poland, have been arrested and Andrzej Rokita, deputy commander of Cracow police, described them as non-political.

“We can say that none of the five are members of a neo-Nazi group,” said Mr Rokita. One suspect owns a construction company, others are unemployed. They are being interrogated in Cracow — which is responsible for keeping order in the nearby Auschwitz camp museum — and if charges are pressed could face up to 10 years in jail for the “theft of a cultural treasure of particular significance” and damage to property.

“This can be considered a success for Polish police work,” said Mr Rokita. He and other senior commanders had come under heavy pressure from Israel — the Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu had called on Poland to hunt down “these twisted criminals” — and the international Jewish Community to produce a quick result.



The names of the jewish thieves were not released.

Quote:



Police recovered the sign sections, along with photos and printed materials that show the sign was used in an advertising scheme for an American company, Sausage Queen of Zion's new line of WEENIE QUEENIE Barbecue grills.

"It appears that the WEENIE QUEENIE photos show the famous sign was used to promote the company's "MAKE WORK FREE" easy clean grill tops. The sign was used in the promotional materials, and then used to grill Kielbasas on, since the three sections were covered with charcoal residue and pork grease. Other than that, the sign is intact" Captain Rokita said at the press conference.

Our resident complete nutter is actually correct, the sign has been recovered and is being restored, thankfully - not that I am fond of such historic markers overall, but had they needed financing for the repairs I woulda tossed a couple bucks at it, cause that historic marker damn well belongs in place as a hard lesson we would do well to NEVER repeat...

Despite the US trying *as hard as they can* to repeat it with whatever politically-incorrect ethnicity of the day - Gus put a rack of signs up in an especially poignant protest at the very idea recently, one of which struck me to interesting thoughts.
"No Irish Need Apply"

I wonder if perhaps the large percentage of irish police following those times was perhaps because socially the police force was held in the proper contempt it deserved, and no one else would do the job if they had any choice...
