Pictures Worth a Thousand Words: “If I Had a Hammer . . . ”

COMMENT: The Euro­zone cri­sis and the advance of fas­cism in its afflicted nations has afforded us some telling imagery. Mus­solini took the name for his “Cor­po­rate State” from the fascis–a bun­dle of rods bound together with an axe head joined to it.
In the wake of the for­ma­tion of the pro­vi­sional gov­ern­ment in Greece, we [...]

Nazis Infiltrating Germany’s Pirate Party

COMMENT: In the long For The Record series on Wik­iLeaks, Pirate Bay and the Arab Spring, we noted that the Pirate Party milieu in Europe has been the foun­da­tion of Wik­iLeaks’ pres­ence in Swe­den and Europe.
Osten­si­bly “anaarcho/Utopian” in their out­look, the Pirate Bay/Pirate Party milieu has man­i­fested strong fas­cist and Nazi con­nec­tions, despite its [...]

Bye, Bye Miss American Pie, er . . . Democracy. Not With a Bang, but a Whimper!

COMMENT: As noted by blog­ger David Sea­mon, the demise of Amer­i­can democ­racy took place amid the volu­mi­nous, flat­u­lant pon­tif­i­ca­tion of U.S. media pun­dits, a pro­found dis­trac­tion in the event.
With very lit­tle notice from politi­cial or media insti­tu­tions and/or indi­vid­u­als, the National Defense Autho­riza­tion Act has incor­po­rated some fea­tures that would allow the vir­tual elim­i­na­tion of civil [...]

Sirhan Sirhan’s Lawyers Moving to Reopen the Case

COMMENT: Attor­neys for Sirhan Sirhan have moved to reopen his case, con­tend­ing (among other things) that a bul­let was switched at his trial, inval­i­dat­ing his con­vic­tion.
Ear­lier this year, Sirhan’s defense team rein­forced the “girl in the polka-dot dress” anec­do­tal infor­ma­tion fol­low­ing a hyp­no­sis ses­sion with their client.

Greek Fascists Set to Become Part of New Provisional Government

COMMENT: In the wake of the eco­nomic and polit­i­cal tur­moil sweep­ing  Europe as a result of the Euro­zone debt cri­sis, Greece has formed a new coali­tion gov­ern­ment, one of whose par­tic­i­pants is the LAOS party.

Book writ­ten in 1961 asks: Has Ger­many really changed? If so, where are the hun­dreds of thou­sands who once faith­fully and eagerly served Hitler’s reign of ter­ror? And what is life like today for the Jews who are still in Germany?

. . . . And Walther Rauff, Too!

COMMENT: Adding to the already long list of heinous war crim­i­nals who found shel­ter and employ­ment with the Gehlen orga­ni­za­tion, is the BBC”s dis­clo­sure that Walther Rauff found a niche with the BND.
Orig­i­na­tor of the mobile gas chambers–vans that fed lethal car­bon monox­ide into the pas­sen­ger area–Rauff worked for the then West Ger­man intel­li­gence service, [...]

Addendum to FTR #746: Germany Rejecting Greek War Crimes Reparations

COMMENT: In FTR #746, we exam­ined Greece’s par­tic­i­pa­tion in the Euro­pean Mon­e­tary Union as the deci­sive ele­ment in the fail­ure of the Greek econ­omy and its resul­tant sub­ju­ga­tion to Ger­man polit­i­cal will.
