Diary: Arsenal of Hypocrisy

Bruce Gagnon's video takes us on a tour of the history of the U.S. military-industrial complex and introduces us to some of the top players and policy planners: former members of the German Nazi party guilty of crimes against humanity who were never tried at Nuremberg because they were smuggled into the U.S. as part of Operation Paperclip, and placed in key positions in the space program and elsewhere. Arsenal of Hypocrisy If you want to know why our tax money is going for guns instead of for butter, this is a very important film to watch. Who made the decision to smuggle high-ranking Nazi war criminals into the U.S. instead of letting them be tried at Nuremberg? Why don't our representatives know the facts? And if they do, why are they still funding the Nazi agenda? Henry Ford, Prescott Bush, and many other important U.S. industrialists and bankers supported Hitler, and when he lost, they brought many of his top people here to continue his agenda. They made sure that none of the corporations that profited from slave labor in Nazi Germany were ever given more than a token slap on the wrist in the form of miniscule compensation payments or fines, and most of those companies are now some of the biggest multinationals promoting globalization policies. There are some people who are still asking if the U.S. has become fascist yet. A better question might be if it has ever stopped being fascist.
