When you insult and vilify your critics, you are merely showing that you don't have anything meaningful to say on the matter. I will stick to the facts, and as it turns out, history isn't black and white, there are lots of grays. The UK Daily Express was one example. There are many other references for the Jewish boycott of Germany. Here's an excerpt of an article from the The Barnes Review, Jan./Feb. 2001, pp. 41-45. --------------------------------------------------------------------- On March 12, 1933 the American Jewish Congress announced a massive protest at Madison Square Gardens for March 27. At that time the commander in chief of the Jewish War Veterans called for an American boycott of German goods. In the meantime, on March 23, 20,000 Jews protested at New York's City Hall as rallies were staged outside the North German Lloyd and Hamburg-American shipping lines and boycotts were mounted against German goods throughout shops and businesses in New York City. (...) However, note well that the Zionist Association of Germany put out a telegram on the 26th of March rejecting many of the allegations made against the National Socialists as "propaganda," "mendacious" and "sensational." --------------------------------------------------------------------- Full article at http://www.wintersonnenwende.com/scriptorium/english/archives/articles/jdecwar.html As for the Untermyer speech, you somehow missed the parts with the "holy war" and "sacred war", he did say that. What I posted was rather a summary than a quote but nonetheless a fair representation of what Untermyer said in his whole speech. The excerpt from sweetliberty.org was actually a speech by Benjamin Freedman at the Willard Hotel in 1961. So, what does it matter if a transcript of Freedman's speech is hosted at that site? It's hosted at other sites as well, does this change anything? Some background info on Freedman, from the introductory note of the 1961 speech: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Freedman, born in 1890, was a successful Jewish businessman of New York City who was at one time the principal owner of the Woodbury Soap Company. He broke with organized Jewry after the Judeo-Communist victory of 1945, and spent the remainder of his life and the great preponderance of his considerable fortune, at least 2.5 million dollars, exposing the Jewish tyranny which has enveloped the United States. Mr. Freedman knew what he was talking about because he had been an insider at the highest levels of Jewish organizations and Jewish machinations to gain power over our nation. Mr. Freedman was personally acquainted with Bernard Baruch, Samuel Untermyer, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Joseph Kennedy, and John F. Kennedy, and many more movers and shakers of our times. --------------------------------------------------------------------- What's more, Freedman attended the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. He was there and has first hand knowledge of what really happened. This brings us to another reason of why Jews were eventually hated in Germany, the Balfour Declaration.

I thought this was the twenty-first century. I must be in some kind of time warp. Why doesn't the US just switch to using domestic natural gas -- there's plenty -- in cars. That would bring our balance of payments into balance, so to speak. Then we could go on buying junk from China, and on the rare occasion when we wanted something to work well and last we could buy it from Germany or Japan. Then we just go on selling the rest of the world soybeans, rice and wheat, and weapons too of course, since that's what we are truly good at, and everyone is happy.
Yes it is. It is also referred to as Remembrance Day in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. Today is also Veterans Day in America. God bless America and its allies - the lands of the free, because of the the brave.

lol, I guess you are slightly blind. Another nation has maneuvered itself into a corner and its not China, G20 meetings and growing frustration towards American monetary policy make this very clear. Think and listen and observe before you speak, there is a reason you were born with 2 ears and two eyes but only one mouth. My 2 cents...
my God, please, can you please come back to fuxxing reality? Sneak out of your Alabama hole and breath a fresh wind of new world order. You seem to have slept over the past couple years....
This is the twenty-first century. Just let it go. It is unproductive to try and keep hate alive when there is no reason for it. Today's Germans are appalled at what happened in their country during the Nazi era. They learned a hard and lasting lesson. And to say Merkel is wanting only Christians living in Germany is complete nonsense. Most Germans are non-believers, as is true of Europe in General. What Merkel said was "we feel attached to the Christian concept of mankind." That's something even an atheist could feel -- nothing to do with being a Christian except incidentally. If you have concerns about a country potentially becoming very dangerous to the rest of the world you should be concerned about the direction the U.S. is headed, with ever larger numbers of "Christian reactionaries" gaining more political power, particularly in the Republican party. This is what scares me. We have those wanting to kill doctors because of their religious beliefs, we have many who think military spending is a priority above health and education. We have more per capita incarcerated than any other civilized country; our personal liberties are being eroded; we give corporations the same constitutional protection as individuals; and in practice corporate interests often prevail over individual interests; and as a nation we recently attacked and laid waste to a sovereign country that had not attacked us nor were they planning to, or even capable of it. Shockingly, U.S. military spending is nearly as much as that of all other countries combined. The middle class is shrinking while the number of wealthy persons is growing and the number in poverty is growing even faster. These is not a good directions to be moving in.
US is not the only country in the world where you say there is real freedom. It is a big world out there. And not all countries are in same mould as China and Middle East. Best, Max
