German dictator Adolf Hitler's Nazi party “actively worked to destroy Europe's Jews financially” and nearly a third of the German war effort was paid for with money stolen from Jews according a new study about the role of the German Finance Ministry during the ‘Third Reich’. A commission of historians found that bureaucrats at the Finance Ministry in Berlin were more involved in the persecution of Jews under the Nazis than was previously known. Ministry officials robbed an estimated 120 billion reichsmarks [the equivalent of nearly US$ 20 billion today] by looting and through stringent confiscation laws.The figure has been revealed in a study by the German Finance Ministry to uncover its crimes while the Nazis were in power, between 1933 and 1945. The newspaper quotes Hans-Peter Ullmann, a Cologne University history professor who is heading the three-year investigation, as saying that under the Nazis the authorities "actively worked to destroy Jews financially". He added: "In a conservative estimate, their money financed at least 30 per cent of the German war effort.”
Ullmann suggested that the role of the Finance Ministry had not been scrutinized by Germany as much as other factors concerning the Nazi era. "What was obscured behind that image was the indispensable contribution made by the Reich Finance Ministry toward the functioning, the stability and the criminal policies of the Nazi regime," he said, according to the ‘Reuters’ news agency. The report now released by the commission also suggested that bondholders of German debt were aware their money was being used to further the goals of the Nazis.
Tax laws discriminated against Jews from 1934, while some who managed to leave Germany before the Holocaust had much of their wealth seized through an ‘exit tax’. Nazi officials seized and sold the property of Jews who fled or who were sent to the death camps, both in Germany and in the nations the Nazis occupied during World War II.
My Note:
Here's a question .... Would the future be marked by the BILLIONS OF DOLLARS being robbed from the U.S. taxpayers in order to support the Arab Palestinians? Just a few days ago, the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, announced how pleased she was to contribute (on behalf of American taxpayers) another $150 MILLION DOLLARS to the Palestinians, in support for their "future" state within the boundaries of the Land of Israel. Early into his new job as President of the United States, Obama had Ms. Clinton announce that the U.S. would be contributing $940 MILLION DOLLARS to Gaza, led by the leaders of the Hamas Terrorists Organization. (Now, is Obama planning on joining Hamas and the Abbas group into one Palestinians "state"? Under the guise of humanitarian aid, whatever is given to Gaza immediately falls into the hands of Hamas.
With that in mind, if the Palestinian Arabs led by Hamas should one day link up with Abbas (and his band of merry men), and they should decide to attack Israel, would the United States go down in history as the country who supported both dictators and terrorists?!
While in India, Obama began apologizing for America (again!) ... Obama acknowledges decline of US dominance - and in this article, Obama acknowledged "the decline of American dominance, Barack Obama on Sunday said the US was no longer in a position to "meet the rest of the world economically on our terms".
So, keeping Obama's own words in mind, how is it that the United States has suddenly become responsible for a group of Arabs - Arabs our own military has been training for a few years, plus contributing BILLIONS into their pockets, at the expense of America's tax payers?! When did it become America's responsibility to build Arab nations, when there are already 22 Arab countries within the Middle East that should be picking up the tab for these "lost boys" i.e. Arab Palestinians, who actually belong to their own country of Jordan?
I'm just saying ........................ !
