Knuckle makes a great point. Trade wars can be more damaging than all-out war. Dropping subsidized Toyotas can be more effective than dropping bombs in damaging an enemy.
I tried to search the number of wars or limited wars the US has been involved in since 1945. There was no comprehensive study available (easily) to be found in order to answer you which specific war, not even considering Poverty, Drugs, Littering or the American taxpayer that could serve as an answer. Here's a short list. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/military/etc/cron.html
it is rare that ORI misses the point, but here you did. The Frankfurt and London are the financial centres, and as ilustrated in other article Hitlers banker continued life of luxury after the war. USA, exceptional country is given a choice of Clinton or Bush to vote for. It is clear the people who control the money have out of chaos made a profit (killing) and firmed their control over the world, so it can be said they won the war (and probably have engineered it too).
Sarcasm aside, it's actually really sad bc the US once was a wonderful country welcoming millions from all parts of the world and turning them into "Americans". You could have led the world towards a bright future, instead chose to follow the path of crony capitalism to the bitter end. Well someone some day will build a better system, that's for sure.
Fuck GM the UAW and Obama's croni ball out kick back bull shit . They make jokes and pass them for cars you fucking drive that low quality government motors shit.
You should read the comments of the article you have linked to. They discuss the discrepancies with the photos. Such as, the amusement park is really in Yokohama. Still, even though there are some nice areas around Detroit, I wouldn't want to drive through that city. I won't even get a connecting flight through there.
Well, it would take a bit more space than we have here, so to sum it up- razing an area will lead to the necessity of rebuilding it. This means debt. This means churn. This means more vig for the Banks.
Think of it as the Broken Window Theorem writ large. Which is all war is (3GW or the current 4GW that is going on now).
Enabled by Central Banking, Banks loan to both combatants in a war. The "victors" will simply pillage the conquered for the necessary resources. They don't need to care who wins, or who loses.
And now for your prize: eternal debt servitude for you and your children and your children's children for all time or until such time as the banks no longer actually need human beings as chattle and they wipe you out.
bullshit... you can cherry pick rough areas in London and Frankfurt and troll the same way... put up the Detroit skyline in its best light like you did the other two, you'll get the opposite result
In all honesty London has really shit areas especially to the east. Oh if you want to make some direct comparisons with run down shit cities in the US pick some equally run down areas in the UK. The most depressing cities being Birmingham followed by Leicester and Coventry. If only Hitlers bombers had a little further range they could have levelled Birmingham, there again Coventry was bombed to shit and post war planners made a right bollocks of that.
Some small bit of truth in your comment, but on the whole, and you can trust me on this one as i get to see it on a regular basis, Detroit is an epic mess.
Outsourcing fucked over UAW. Now Obama plan's to recover unions with a TPP community organizer platform. Good luck Kenyan cocksucker. The pain endured will make Reggie sucking on your nut pleasurable.
No blacks turn any city, any country into a third world shithole. They did it to Detroit, Ferguson, Flint, Baltimore, etc. etc. Send them back to Africa and all the liberals with them.
these guys have forgot that this type of negative attitude is not going to help solve anything - it will just make matters worse, just what the banksters ordered...

Check out the hilariously quaint "Notice on Racial Discrimination" on the right side of every ZeroHedge article. Has anyone actually been kicked off ZH for telling the truth about knee grows?
Seems that is no longer the case TD. My guess is that they realized that by censoring, they were missing an important opportunity to refine the various inference engines, exceedingly valuable when herding, branding and cutting out the sheeple. The more data points, the more reliably it works.
Are you stupid goyim really that blind? In every instance, jewdom WINS!! We foment and then finance both sides of every war and military conflict, and we WIN! We import hoards of non-Whites onto your major cities, foment racial tensions, and we WIN! We either get you to kill yourselves off, or use proxies to exterminate you. And yet our controlled media continues to get you to worship us out of fear of being called an anti-semite and racist. You stupid goyim are killing us with uncontrollable laughter. Oy vey! Will the persecution never cease? LOL!!
MAUTHAUSEN, Austria (AP) — Many people were worked to death or starved. Others were gassed or killed by injection. But of all the ways to die at Mauthausen, Austria's largest concentration camp, one method in particular reflected the horrible cynicism of the Nazis in charge.
As emaciated inmates struggled up the 186 steps of "the Stairway of Death" balancing huge blocks of granite on their backs, a guard would ask one if he would like to step out of the line to sit and rest for a minute on a ledge, recalled former inmate Aba Lewitt.
Of course, most said yes.
"The guard said, 'Well, then, sit over there'— then he shot him," said Lewitt, tears welling in his eyes. "He said the inmate tried to escape the camp. That happened umpteen times every day."
Austria marked the 70th anniversary of Mauthausen's liberation Sunday with somber speeches by dignitaries and funeral marches by scores of flag-carrying delegations from Europe and beyond. More than 20,000 people attended. The most powerful commemorations, however, were the stories told by some of the approximately 50 survivors present.
One of the longest-existing concentration camps in Hitler's Reich, Mauthausen received its first railway wagon of inmates in 1938. By the time it and its nearly 50 satellite camps were liberated by American troops in May 1945, more than 100,000 people had died, most in the main camp.
International delegations with flags arrive for a ceremony to commemorate the 70th anniversary of th …
That main camp was designated "Category III" — which meant its inmates were slated for death through labor.
Many of the hundreds of thousands at the Mauthausen complex — Jews as well as prisoners of war, political prisoners, conscientious objectors and other opponents of Hitler's Nazi regime — built war planes and other military equipment in deep tunnels they dug at the auxiliary camps .
But the most unfortunate landed in its huge granite pit. Those assigned to 12-hour days of trying to climb the stairs — uneven slabs, some half a meter (yard) high — died from exhaustion, being shot or after being transferred to barracks for the sick, where lack of care and epidemics decimated the horribly weakened inmates.
The Nazis called the main camp "The Bone Mill." On Sunday, cows grazed on rolling meadows near tidy farm houses within eyesight of the forbidding granite walls of Mauthausen as people in nearby villages went about their business — a scene witnesses have described as not much different than Sundays past, as those inside the walls suffered and died.
Most Austrians denied knowing about the camps until after the war. It took decades for public opinion to swing from the perception that Austria was a victim of Hitler to recognition that it was one of Germany's most willing accomplices after its annexation in 1938.
Members of a delegation from Israel arrive for a ceremony to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the …
Invoking the memory of "one of the most horrible chapters in our history," Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann on Sunday urged his countrymen "to never forget and to elevate values such as tolerance, democracy, non-violence and solidarity."
Earlier, scores of delegations from countries whose citizens died at the Mauthausen complex made their way to the podium. A survivor with the Israeli delegation wore a copy of the black-and-white pajamas issued to inmates.
Mauthausen was the last concentration camp to be liberated by the allies, with U.S armored troops rolling into the compound on May 5, 1945. It was a day many survivors remember with joy.
"One of the sergeants on the first tank took a packet of cigarettes out his pockets and lit (one)," Max Garcia recalled Sunday. "I said, 'Ahhh, it's a long time ago since I saw a Lucky Strike.'
"He gave me one and ... immediately called his lieutenant," said Garcia, 90, now of San Francisco. Within hours, Garcia was ensconced in a comfortable hotel and helping the Americans interrogate his former tormentors and their backers.
Members of a delegation from Israel arrive for a ceremony to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the …
But for Lewitt, 92, of Vienna, the day of liberation was bitter.
With nowhere to go, he and fellow inmates spent their first free night still in the camp. Transferred to Linz, the nearest big city, and then left on their own, they wandered the streets dressed in their camp stripes, hungry, penniless, and lonely as the rest of Austria started picking up from the ruins of war.
"No one cared about us," he says. "It was trauma in the camp and afterward too."
His eyes teared up again Sunday when asked what his thoughts were.
The holocaust grievance industry makes big bucks off exaggerations and outright lies. The most obvious red-flag is that no one is allowed to question the holocaust. In Europe and Canada you can literally be arrested and sent to jail for daring to even question the mainstream holocaust narrative. There is no other historical event that cannot be questioned under threat of imprisonment.
Mao killed 90 million Chinese, not evil incarnate
Stalin killed 60 million Russsians, not evil incarnate
I'm sure it's got nothing to do with the fact that in the first picture the city was populated by whites and run by whites. Must be some sort of socioeconomic factor...those white people who left somehow created a prosperous suburban crime free paradise out of farmland. Those evil whites that left the city and took their human resources with them are to blame.
Don't you folks get it??? Financial sociopaths finance the war buildups, then go short before unleasing the destructions; then finance the rebuilding and go long; then THEY decide it time to finance the war buildup and simply repeat the process. With no conscience nor empathy, no problem. Sometimes The Dragon Wins. It's so disgusting that the masses keep feeding the dragon.
yea, but those socialist fuckers don't have gleaming streets filled with every retail opportunity in the world with parking lots filled to the brim with fat and happy people getting their daily dose of usa happiness. who needs detroit when you have walmarts in every town in the usa. do they have anything like that? no? ha, they haven't lived.
London? Are you effing kidding me? A hollow shell, based almost entirely upon the 'finanical industry.' A second rate power barely treading water above its third world destiny.
Germans always win because they are not so afraid to die. And they learn very quickly. In other words they have been killed so many times in the past that the successful genes have been passed on to future generations more quickly than other peoples. Same thing is happening in the mid east now.
But besides all that got word tonight that something is going on in FLA with the AirForce bases and Wells Fargo freezing of accounts of anyone that owns a gun, has a gun shop, rifle range or a license to carry a gun. Haven't heard anything via the web yet.
In Detroit they're finally getting around to foreclosing on niggers who haven't paid their property taxes in years and insisting they move on, as should have been done decades ago.
London is still being filled with the contents of the cesspits of the Muslim world, because the banksters' trophy wives refuse to cook or clean anything. By 2050 London will be the rotting heart of a country ungovernable except by an Islamic state.
Reaganomics and globalization is what stole American wealth. Too many politicians supported tax cuts for the rich and outsouring of our jobs.
Any future American President can reverse this decline by taxing foreign made goods like we used to. We would see a tidal wave if jobs and money return to the US.
Yeah but, you're promoting an isolationist policy that will be shot down out of the gates. Look what happened to Ron Paul when he even suggested a pull-back, he was labeled a loon. Certainly globalization is fucking us over, that's why I promote localization. The day of the 6000 mile pineapple is coming to an end.

When European competition was destroyed in WWII, Detroit prospered. Uneducated and unskilled auto workers demanded high salaries and large benefits, and they got everything. Such a worker could own a 4-bedroom house, new cars, have all the niceties of the middle class.
The US won the war via Operation Paperclip. Somehow they thought that bringing Nazis over here to run things would not lead to a new, smarter, Nazi SS regime.
So how many generations of Americans should be able to feed off the rest of the planet because the US was on the winning side in the world war II? By the way, the European theatre of the World War II was won by the Soviet Union despite what the Hollywood movies may say.
No one wants to acknowledge (at least not the communists) the massive amount of financial and arms support the US gave Russia in WWII which was a big factor in the squashing of the Nazi's
Yes America you didn't innovate and become the most productive you could be, and so started importing better, cheaper stuff from Japan, then Germany and now China, exporting your manufacturing wealth and jobs.
Good scam with the dollar though - the Fed, the Nixon Shock, you get all these imports for free and they hold worthless paper, but they do build up their industry. I think the game is up now as that paper will be coming home.
You'll need to burn all that paper of course to reflate your currency, to be able to buy those future imports, unless they go back to gold and you'll be really screwed.
Pity you don't have any industry, but I'm sure China will invest, they already own alot of your land, so I'm sure they'll build those factories for you.. ahem I mean for themselves. Every cloud has a silver lining :-) or a least some low paid jobs.
unions got greedy and price themselves out of the world market. Remember Detriot as Motor City? In 1970's it was said $2500 of the cost of a car went to cover the union wages, etc.
There's a much bigger picture D and for Detiot it was offshoring and cheap imports. If the Detroit bosses said "Hey. the Japs are really pressuring us, but we have a plan to counter it" I think you would have supported it? My guess is yes you would, if it was offered.
The Nazi's and their commitments to other powers just came to the US. They became the CIA and NASA and eventually had control over the entire US government... and have since put the US government into a state of perpetual war, which drains and misallocates our resources ... while the Nazi's and their cronies benefit and laugh.
PPT will just get rid of the pretense that there is a functioning US government.
For several decades after WW1 and WW2 the USA did very well out of stupid Europeans shipping over 100 years worth of accumulated capital to the USA to make arms. Arms which were then used to blow up any remaining capital left in Europe.
I think that the myth of war = good for economy comes from this.
If you can find another Civilization stupid enough to ship its capital abroad to make arms...good luck with that.
The USA has been perpetualy at war since Korea basically - except now, instead of being financed by European gold it's "financed" by the printing press. Count yourselves lucky that basically outside of 911 USA has nary been hit by a single bomb.
There was a 5 day warning about Japan going to hit Pearl Harbour. The message was told to be pigeonholed by higher powers.
People think that the USA went into the war in Europe to save people but in fact the long range goal was to get economic foothold in Europe. It worked for about 70 years but now is losing its foothold.
Thus the TTIP and TTP needs to be passed as per the ZioNazis that control the USA.
Yeah, that word "racist" doesn't really have much bite anymore. We now have a black president and the richest (black) woman in the world lecturing poor white people that blacks can't get ahead in this country because of...wait for it...racism!
I thank you for this post, because it illustrates that the spirit of the German people (and all peoples) cannot be crushed, even by something as terrible as WW II.
The cabal won WW II that Europeans fought for them.
The cabal declared war on Germany publicly in the international press in 1933 (between WW I and WW II, a fact that while fully documented in the international press at the time, is rarely if ever discussed today), encouraging all nations to boycott German goods.
The US was drawn into the war by the cabal-puppet Roosevelt (despite our people’s desire to stay out), and England was drawn into the war by the cabal-puppet Churchill (because they financed his villa, and otherwise greased him politically).
We both fought on the wrong side, despite Germany's repeated attempts to ally with England (this is fully documented in diplomatic records).
After the war, Germany ended up demoralized, occupied (the west by the US, the east by Russia), slandered (with cabal-generated falsehoods about German behavior prior to and during the war) and vilified for daring to defy the same cabal that now controls the West.
As the US, England (and the West in general) begin to realize that we are now controlled by the very same cabal that controlled and manipulated Germany before WW II, we will also realize that we are facing some of the same dilemma's that Germany faced.
Churchill himself said before the war that 'Mr. Hitler has declared war on the international bankers. And this will be the finish of him'. How right he was. And to crown it all the 'international bankers' got the rest of us to do their fighting for them.
The Jews won the war; they started it and they won it. Europeans and their descendants everywhere lost it.
“However, here is what a Frenchman cannot avoid asking himself. The Jews are originally foreigners, who were initially allowed into our country warily, then in an increasingly large number as some of them obtained influence. In spite of this hospitality which was granted to them, they did not abstain from taking part in the political discussions of our country: and when it was a question of knowing if we would transform the invasion of Czechoslovakia or the war in Poland into an European war, they did not hesitate (it is they who currently affirm this to us) to fight any spirit of conciliation, that is, to involve our country in a disastrous but desirable war, because it was directed against an enemy of their race. We have ceased today being a great nation, we have perhaps even ceased actually being an independent nation, because [189] their wealth and their influence have made their point of view prevail over that of the French who are attached to the conservation of their land and who wanted to maintain peace. We found them then opposed to all reasonable measures which could have preserved our lives and our goods, and at the same time their own lives and their own goods. And, later still, we found them at the head of the persecution and calumny against those of our comrades who had wanted to protect from the rigors of the occupation this country where we have lived longer than they, where our parents have lived, and which the men of our race had made a great country. They say today that they are the true husbands of this land which their parents did not know, and that they understand better than we the wisdom and the mission of this country of which some of them can hardly speak the language: they divided us, they claimed the blood of the best and the purest among us, and they rejoiced and they are rejoicing at our deaths. This war that they wanted, they gave us the right to say that it was their war [190] and not ours. They paid for it the price which one pays for all wars. We have the right not to count their deaths with our deaths.
In spite of the silence imposed on our intellectuals, this effort to pose the Jewish question in concrete terms cannot be eluded. It need not at all be accompanied by anti-Semitism and, for my part, I am not anti-Semitic: I wish on the contrary that the Jewish people find somewhere the fatherland which will enable them to group themselves together. But it seems obvious to me that if I were a refugee in Argentina, I would not concern myself with the internal affairs of Argentina, even if I had obtained the nationality of that country. I would not demand that the Argentinians become the avengers of the persecuted French; I especially would not ask that Argentinians be condemned to death or be imprisoned because they were indifferent to the fate of the French refugees in their land. Why should we feel obliged to avenge and lament in the name of a compatriotism that the law forces us to confess, but which does not touch our hearts? Fraternities [191] are not manufactured. A Jew is for me a man like another, but he is only a man like another; I find it sad that he is massacred and that he is persecuted, but my feeling does not suddenly change, my blood does not suddenly solidify if it is added that he lives in Bordeaux. I do not feel obliged to take up particularly the defense of the Jews, no more than that of the Slavs or that of the Japanese: I would like very much that one cease massacring without reason the Jews, the Slavs and the Japanese, and also the Madagascans, the Indochinese or the Germans of the Sudetenland. That is all. I feel nothing special for the Jews who live in France and I do not see why I should. Moreover, the attitude taken by the majority of the Jews with regard to the purification underscored these divergences of sensitivity which an act of naturalization does not make disappear. Many French were ready in 1944, without partisanship, to feel vividly the inhuman treatment which had been inflicted on the Jews; but today other sufferings, other injustices, much more pressing, have drawn our [192] indignation and even our pity. It is the Jews themselves who organized a switching of victims, a switching of injustice. Let them not accuse us of having no heart: we think first of our own, it is they who wanted it so. The purification left in our country bloody scars which will never be forgotten. I would still do, if I had to do it again, what I did during the occupation for the resistants and even for Jews, but I would do it today as Don Juan gives to poor: “for the love of God,” and with immense disdain. For it is, indeed, only in the name of this love of God and because they were saved like us by Christ, that we can share today in the sufferings of the Jews. Their reaction to the demands of loyalty, honor and the defense of our land was not the same as ours; this solidarity that we had the right to expect, even in times of ideological war, from co-participants in our nationality, we did not obtain from them; today we can have in regard to them only the impression of a separation, of an incapacity to [193] think of unison, of a failure of assimilation.
Of course Jews were the main beneficiaries of the war. And indeed the ones goading the Western countries into war with Germany. A very senior British diplomat, can't remember who, said afterwards that it appeared as if an invisible hand was guiding Britain away from the many peace overtures made by Germany.
Jews got Israel, trillions in 'reparations' from the unfortunate German taxpayer, and probably most valuable of all, the use of the Holocau$t™ to preempt any criticism of Jews and/or Israel through Hate Crime laws.
Qui bono should be the first question asked when trying to solve a crime. War, being the supreme crime against humanity, should be examined in the same way: who benefits?
The financial class of course – or the banksters. The ‘owners of the system’.
It’s laughable that ‘socialism’ is again being thrown in as an ‘actor’ on the global stage. If equality, egalitarianism and the common ownership of the means of production is the goal (and means) of socialism, then what we’ve got today is the opposite. An enormous (not seen in history before) concentration of wealth and power in a very few number of hands (the <0,01%). To call it socialism is pure ignorance. Yes, USA have had decades of anti-left-wing-propaganda (it’s a rarity to meet people from US actually having a clue about ideologies – maybe different variances of right-wing ideologies. Some of them labelled ‘socialist’ by the propagandists – like the democrats/progressives or whatever. All servants of the oligarchy), but that's not an excuse to keep being ignorant on these issues. It does matter what we call the current system - it creates/and limits the possible solutions.
You might call the current system socialism for the rich (but that’s an oxymoron). It’s fascism. Pure and simple. A merging of state and private power. The definition of fascism.
And yes, the Nazis used socialism in their party-name. They were masters of propaganda and knew the socialists had popular support = the tapped into that support without having any socialists ambitions.
The banks?

No one won, everyone lost.

"If my sons did not want wars, there would be none."
( Quote from the Rothschild dynasty )
The banks?! They make money either way. It was the SOCIALISTS(statists). They went after the biggest symbol of capitalism, and they succeded.
How do the banks gain from destroying the most productive, prosperous city in the world? Their bread was buttered on that city alone. Think about it.
Socialists have an ideology and an agenda. They don't want to see "big business" thrive.
Dude?! (troll?)
Socialists espouse an economic system that developed in a pre-technological era.
It is a zero-sum economic system trying to function in a positive-sum economic world.
Really?
Well, it would take a bit more space than we have here, so to sum it up- razing an area will lead to the necessity of rebuilding it. This means debt. This means churn. This means more vig for the Banks.
Think of it as the Broken Window Theorem writ large. Which is all war is (3GW or the current 4GW that is going on now).
Enabled by Central Banking, Banks loan to both combatants in a war. The "victors" will simply pillage the conquered for the necessary resources. They don't need to care who wins, or who loses.
"Big business" certainly thrived working with the National SOCIALISTS (Nazis).

Are you stupid goyim really that blind? In every instance, jewdom WINS!! We foment and then finance both sides of every war and military conflict, and we WIN! We import hoards of non-Whites onto your major cities, foment racial tensions, and we WIN! We either get you to kill yourselves off, or use proxies to exterminate you. And yet our controlled media continues to get you to worship us out of fear of being called an anti-semite and racist. You stupid goyim are killing us with uncontrollable laughter. Oy vey! Will the persecution never cease? LOL!!

MAUTHAUSEN, Austria (AP) — Many people were worked to death or starved. Others were gassed or killed by injection. But of all the ways to die at Mauthausen, Austria's largest concentration camp, one method in particular reflected the horrible cynicism of the Nazis in charge.
Related StoriesAs emaciated inmates struggled up the 186 steps of "the Stairway of Death" balancing huge blocks of granite on their backs, a guard would ask one if he would like to step out of the line to sit and rest for a minute on a ledge, recalled former inmate Aba Lewitt.
Of course, most said yes.
"The guard said, 'Well, then, sit over there'— then he shot him," said Lewitt, tears welling in his eyes. "He said the inmate tried to escape the camp. That happened umpteen times every day."
Austria marked the 70th anniversary of Mauthausen's liberation Sunday with somber speeches by dignitaries and funeral marches by scores of flag-carrying delegations from Europe and beyond. More than 20,000 people attended. The most powerful commemorations, however, were the stories told by some of the approximately 50 survivors present.
One of the longest-existing concentration camps in Hitler's Reich, Mauthausen received its first railway wagon of inmates in 1938. By the time it and its nearly 50 satellite camps were liberated by American troops in May 1945, more than 100,000 people had died, most in the main camp.

That main camp was designated "Category III" — which meant its inmates were slated for death through labor.
Many of the hundreds of thousands at the Mauthausen complex — Jews as well as prisoners of war, political prisoners, conscientious objectors and other opponents of Hitler's Nazi regime — built war planes and other military equipment in deep tunnels they dug at the auxiliary camps .
But the most unfortunate landed in its huge granite pit. Those assigned to 12-hour days of trying to climb the stairs — uneven slabs, some half a meter (yard) high — died from exhaustion, being shot or after being transferred to barracks for the sick, where lack of care and epidemics decimated the horribly weakened inmates.
The Nazis called the main camp "The Bone Mill." On Sunday, cows grazed on rolling meadows near tidy farm houses within eyesight of the forbidding granite walls of Mauthausen as people in nearby villages went about their business — a scene witnesses have described as not much different than Sundays past, as those inside the walls suffered and died.
Most Austrians denied knowing about the camps until after the war. It took decades for public opinion to swing from the perception that Austria was a victim of Hitler to recognition that it was one of Germany's most willing accomplices after its annexation in 1938.

Invoking the memory of "one of the most horrible chapters in our history," Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann on Sunday urged his countrymen "to never forget and to elevate values such as tolerance, democracy, non-violence and solidarity."
Earlier, scores of delegations from countries whose citizens died at the Mauthausen complex made their way to the podium. A survivor with the Israeli delegation wore a copy of the black-and-white pajamas issued to inmates.
Mauthausen was the last concentration camp to be liberated by the allies, with U.S armored troops rolling into the compound on May 5, 1945. It was a day many survivors remember with joy.
"One of the sergeants on the first tank took a packet of cigarettes out his pockets and lit (one)," Max Garcia recalled Sunday. "I said, 'Ahhh, it's a long time ago since I saw a Lucky Strike.'
"He gave me one and ... immediately called his lieutenant," said Garcia, 90, now of San Francisco. Within hours, Garcia was ensconced in a comfortable hotel and helping the Americans interrogate his former tormentors and their backers.

But for Lewitt, 92, of Vienna, the day of liberation was bitter.
With nowhere to go, he and fellow inmates spent their first free night still in the camp. Transferred to Linz, the nearest big city, and then left on their own, they wandered the streets dressed in their camp stripes, hungry, penniless, and lonely as the rest of Austria started picking up from the ruins of war.
"No one cared about us," he says. "It was trauma in the camp and afterward too."
His eyes teared up again Sunday when asked what his thoughts were.
"I survived," he said. "And the others didn't."
The holocaust grievance industry makes big bucks off exaggerations and outright lies. The most obvious red-flag is that no one is allowed to question the holocaust. In Europe and Canada you can literally be arrested and sent to jail for daring to even question the mainstream holocaust narrative. There is no other historical event that cannot be questioned under threat of imprisonment.

Earthly wins are quite temporary; on a long enough timeline.......
I'm sure it's got nothing to do with the fact that in the first picture the city was populated by whites and run by whites. Must be some sort of socioeconomic factor...those white people who left somehow created a prosperous suburban crime free paradise out of farmland. Those evil whites that left the city and took their human resources with them are to blame.
Nah it's easier to blame teh jews or bankers.
I get your point and is that why you left out Japan?
Don't you folks get it??? Financial sociopaths finance the war buildups, then go short before unleasing the destructions; then finance the rebuilding and go long; then THEY decide it time to finance the war buildup and simply repeat the process. With no conscience nor empathy, no problem. Sometimes The Dragon Wins. It's so disgusting that the masses keep feeding the dragon.
War without bombs, on their own country.

London? Are you effing kidding me? A hollow shell, based almost entirely upon the 'finanical industry.' A second rate power barely treading water above its third world destiny.
Germans always win because they are not so afraid to die. And they learn very quickly. In other words they have been killed so many times in the past that the successful genes have been passed on to future generations more quickly than other peoples. Same thing is happening in the mid east now.
But besides all that got word tonight that something is going on in FLA with the AirForce bases and Wells Fargo freezing of accounts of anyone that owns a gun, has a gun shop, rifle range or a license to carry a gun. Haven't heard anything via the web yet.
Germans are the arm-chair quarterbacks of the planet.
I want to see the same three cities in 2050.
In Detroit they're finally getting around to foreclosing on niggers who haven't paid their property taxes in years and insisting they move on, as should have been done decades ago.
London is still being filled with the contents of the cesspits of the Muslim world, because the banksters' trophy wives refuse to cook or clean anything. By 2050 London will be the rotting heart of a country ungovernable except by an Islamic state.

Reaganomics and globalization is what stole American wealth. Too many politicians supported tax cuts for the rich and outsouring of our jobs.
Any future American President can reverse this decline by taxing foreign made goods like we used to. We would see a tidal wave if jobs and money return to the US.
Yeah but, you're promoting an isolationist policy that will be shot down out of the gates. Look what happened to Ron Paul when he even suggested a pull-back, he was labeled a loon. Certainly globalization is fucking us over, that's why I promote localization. The day of the 6000 mile pineapple is coming to an end.

Damn double-tap.
When European competition was destroyed in WWII, Detroit prospered.
Uneducated and unskilled auto workers demanded high salaries and large benefits, and they got everything. Such a worker could own a 4-bedroom house, new cars, have all the niceties of the middle class.
You mean the Unions, a branch of the communists, demanded high salaries
unions are a right of liberty. collecting in groups to demand a salary is human nature. that is freedom. not communism.
the commie spin on unions is a ploy to keep YOU from EVER demanding a better wage.
If you are a living paycheck to paycheck...then they are winning and you are losing.
You are free to call unions commies, all the way to poor house, while they get to have the 4 bdrm house.
you guys won the war... we win the peace ;)
Those who financed and pulled the string on both sides .. and you know who they are.
Banksters again! When will people quit obeying them jews?
The US won the war via Operation Paperclip. Somehow they thought that bringing Nazis over here to run things would not lead to a new, smarter, Nazi SS regime.
Kudos gents!
So how many generations of Americans should be able to feed off the rest of the planet because the US was on the winning side in the world war II? By the way, the European theatre of the World War II was won by the Soviet Union despite what the Hollywood movies may say.
Spoon fed by the Lend/Lease else there would have been only the demise of Uncle Joe and his monkey army. Manstien would have eaten them alive!
No one wants to acknowledge (at least not the communists) the massive amount of financial and arms support the US gave Russia in WWII which was a big factor in the squashing of the Nazi's
"Something went wrong..."
Yes America you didn't innovate and become the most productive you could be, and so started importing better, cheaper stuff from Japan, then Germany and now China, exporting your manufacturing wealth and jobs.
Good scam with the dollar though - the Fed, the Nixon Shock, you get all these imports for free and they hold worthless paper, but they do build up their industry. I think the game is up now as that paper will be coming home.
You'll need to burn all that paper of course to reflate your currency, to be able to buy those future imports, unless they go back to gold and you'll be really screwed.
Pity you don't have any industry, but I'm sure China will invest, they already own alot of your land, so I'm sure they'll build those factories for you.. ahem I mean for themselves. Every cloud has a silver lining :-) or a least some low paid jobs.
unions got greedy and price themselves out of the world market. Remember Detriot as Motor City? In 1970's it was said $2500 of the cost of a car went to cover the union wages, etc.
that and demcrat govt killed Detriot.
White Flight changed Detroit Metro culture for 30 miles around after the Riots.
For me this whole thing is a tragedy, not just the US and Detroit, but the UK and Europe are going through the same thing.
For me this whole thing is a tragedy, not just the US and Detroit, but the UK and Europe are going through the same thing.
If it helps anybody, I support those who could work but can't.
There's a much bigger picture D and for Detiot it was offshoring and cheap imports. If the Detroit bosses said "Hey. the Japs are really pressuring us, but we have a plan to counter it" I think you would have supported it? My guess is yes you would, if it was offered.
The Nazi's and their commitments to other powers just came to the US. They became the CIA and NASA and eventually had control over the entire US government... and have since put the US government into a state of perpetual war, which drains and misallocates our resources ... while the Nazi's and their cronies benefit and laugh.
PPT will just get rid of the pretense that there is a functioning US government.
Ha! Ever since the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8lT1o0sDwI
Pick your data points.
For several decades after WW1 and WW2 the USA did very well out of stupid Europeans shipping over 100 years worth of accumulated capital to the USA to make arms. Arms which were then used to blow up any remaining capital left in Europe.
I think that the myth of war = good for economy comes from this.
If you can find another Civilization stupid enough to ship its capital abroad to make arms...good luck with that.
The USA has been perpetualy at war since Korea basically - except now, instead of being financed by European gold it's "financed" by the printing press. Count yourselves lucky that basically outside of 911 USA has nary been hit by a single bomb.
D'uh? 911? Psst it was an internal attack. I know that is secret info so you best keep it under your hat....
There was a 5 day warning about Japan going to hit Pearl Harbour. The message was told to be pigeonholed by higher powers.
People think that the USA went into the war in Europe to save people but in fact the long range goal was to get economic foothold in Europe. It worked for about 70 years but now is losing its foothold.
Thus the TTIP and TTP needs to be passed as per the ZioNazis that control the USA.
If not, look for WW3.
You are still a moron.
Fantasy land of a communist
Yeah, and how 'bout the theater quality film crews with their equipment at the the ready? You betcha.
This used to be a great website. Now it is the laughing stock of online financial news and a cesspool of racism and pro-communism.
Yeah, that word "racist" doesn't really have much bite anymore. We now have a black president and the richest (black) woman in the world lecturing poor white people that blacks can't get ahead in this country because of...wait for it...racism!
The commies won the war.

We need to declare bankruptcy and stop all trade with other countries and become isolationists and just trade within the 50 states.
I thank you for this post, because it illustrates that the spirit of the German people (and all peoples) cannot be crushed, even by something as terrible as WW II.
The cabal won WW II that Europeans fought for them.
The cabal declared war on Germany publicly in the international press in 1933 (between WW I and WW II, a fact that while fully documented in the international press at the time, is rarely if ever discussed today), encouraging all nations to boycott German goods.
The US was drawn into the war by the cabal-puppet Roosevelt (despite our people’s desire to stay out), and England was drawn into the war by the cabal-puppet Churchill (because they financed his villa, and otherwise greased him politically).
We both fought on the wrong side, despite Germany's repeated attempts to ally with England (this is fully documented in diplomatic records).
After the war, Germany ended up demoralized, occupied (the west by the US, the east by Russia), slandered (with cabal-generated falsehoods about German behavior prior to and during the war) and vilified for daring to defy the same cabal that now controls the West.
As the US, England (and the West in general) begin to realize that we are now controlled by the very same cabal that controlled and manipulated Germany before WW II, we will also realize that we are facing some of the same dilemma's that Germany faced.
Time will tell what we chose to do about it.
It is getting past date to Hang 'em High before this Kabal begins using their guillotines on people that are awake
Churchill himself said before the war that 'Mr. Hitler has declared war on the international bankers. And this will be the finish of him'. How right he was. And to crown it all the 'international bankers' got the rest of us to do their fighting for them.
The Jews won the war; they started it and they won it. Europeans and their descendants everywhere lost it.
“However, here is what a Frenchman cannot avoid asking himself. The Jews are originally foreigners, who were initially allowed into our country warily, then in an increasingly large number as some of them obtained influence. In spite of this hospitality which was granted to them, they did not abstain from taking part in the political discussions of our country: and when it was a question of knowing if we would transform the invasion of Czechoslovakia or the war in Poland into an European war, they did not hesitate (it is they who currently affirm this to us) to fight any spirit of conciliation, that is, to involve our country in a disastrous but desirable war, because it was directed against an enemy of their race. We have ceased today being a great nation, we have perhaps even ceased actually being an independent nation, because [189] their wealth and their influence have made their point of view prevail over that of the French who are attached to the conservation of their land and who wanted to maintain peace. We found them then opposed to all reasonable measures which could have preserved our lives and our goods, and at the same time their own lives and their own goods. And, later still, we found them at the head of the persecution and calumny against those of our comrades who had wanted to protect from the rigors of the occupation this country where we have lived longer than they, where our parents have lived, and which the men of our race had made a great country. They say today that they are the true husbands of this land which their parents did not know, and that they understand better than we the wisdom and the mission of this country of which some of them can hardly speak the language: they divided us, they claimed the blood of the best and the purest among us, and they rejoiced and they are rejoicing at our deaths. This war that they wanted, they gave us the right to say that it was their war [190] and not ours. They paid for it the price which one pays for all wars. We have the right not to count their deaths with our deaths.
In spite of the silence imposed on our intellectuals, this effort to pose the Jewish question in concrete terms cannot be eluded. It need not at all be accompanied by anti-Semitism and, for my part, I am not anti-Semitic: I wish on the contrary that the Jewish people find somewhere the fatherland which will enable them to group themselves together. But it seems obvious to me that if I were a refugee in Argentina, I would not concern myself with the internal affairs of Argentina, even if I had obtained the nationality of that country. I would not demand that the Argentinians become the avengers of the persecuted French; I especially would not ask that Argentinians be condemned to death or be imprisoned because they were indifferent to the fate of the French refugees in their land. Why should we feel obliged to avenge and lament in the name of a compatriotism that the law forces us to confess, but which does not touch our hearts? Fraternities [191] are not manufactured. A Jew is for me a man like another, but he is only a man like another; I find it sad that he is massacred and that he is persecuted, but my feeling does not suddenly change, my blood does not suddenly solidify if it is added that he lives in Bordeaux. I do not feel obliged to take up particularly the defense of the Jews, no more than that of the Slavs or that of the Japanese: I would like very much that one cease massacring without reason the Jews, the Slavs and the Japanese, and also the Madagascans, the Indochinese or the Germans of the Sudetenland. That is all. I feel nothing special for the Jews who live in France and I do not see why I should. Moreover, the attitude taken by the majority of the Jews with regard to the purification underscored these divergences of sensitivity which an act of naturalization does not make disappear. Many French were ready in 1944, without partisanship, to feel vividly the inhuman treatment which had been inflicted on the Jews; but today other sufferings, other injustices, much more pressing, have drawn our [192] indignation and even our pity. It is the Jews themselves who organized a switching of victims, a switching of injustice. Let them not accuse us of having no heart: we think first of our own, it is they who wanted it so. The purification left in our country bloody scars which will never be forgotten. I would still do, if I had to do it again, what I did during the occupation for the resistants and even for Jews, but I would do it today as Don Juan gives to poor: “for the love of God,” and with immense disdain. For it is, indeed, only in the name of this love of God and because they were saved like us by Christ, that we can share today in the sufferings of the Jews. Their reaction to the demands of loyalty, honor and the defense of our land was not the same as ours; this solidarity that we had the right to expect, even in times of ideological war, from co-participants in our nationality, we did not obtain from them; today we can have in regard to them only the impression of a separation, of an incapacity to [193] think of unison, of a failure of assimilation.

Of course Jews were the main beneficiaries of the war. And indeed the ones goading the Western countries into war with Germany. A very senior British diplomat, can't remember who, said afterwards that it appeared as if an invisible hand was guiding Britain away from the many peace overtures made by Germany.
Jews got Israel, trillions in 'reparations' from the unfortunate German taxpayer, and probably most valuable of all, the use of the Holocau$t™ to preempt any criticism of Jews and/or Israel through Hate Crime laws.
Qui bono should be the first question asked when trying to solve a crime. War, being the supreme crime against humanity, should be examined in the same way: who benefits?
The financial class of course – or the banksters. The ‘owners of the system’.
It’s laughable that ‘socialism’ is again being thrown in as an ‘actor’ on the global stage. If equality, egalitarianism and the common ownership of the means of production is the goal (and means) of socialism, then what we’ve got today is the opposite. An enormous (not seen in history before) concentration of wealth and power in a very few number of hands (the <0,01%). To call it socialism is pure ignorance. Yes, USA have had decades of anti-left-wing-propaganda (it’s a rarity to meet people from US actually having a clue about ideologies – maybe different variances of right-wing ideologies. Some of them labelled ‘socialist’ by the propagandists – like the democrats/progressives or whatever. All servants of the oligarchy), but that's not an excuse to keep being ignorant on these issues. It does matter what we call the current system - it creates/and limits the possible solutions.
You might call the current system socialism for the rich (but that’s an oxymoron). It’s fascism. Pure and simple. A merging of state and private power. The definition of fascism.
And yes, the Nazis used socialism in their party-name. They were masters of propaganda and knew the socialists had popular support = the tapped into that support without having any socialists ambitions.
HATER!
