    Not sure it ever was the utopia that it was supposed to be with the constitution and all. Once the ink dried on that document, powerful people started subverting it and made it the essentially useless document it is today

    Good point, although I can't quite get the words, "John Boehner...King Maker" out before collapsing in laughter.

    I am so tired of manipulation and political correctness. I want someone who will tell us when the emperor has no clothes for a change. 4 years would be good for that. The US is really a business and should be run that way

    Looks like the US, France, and Russia are taking the lead on this one. Three more unlikely to form a coalition scarcely exist. Thread on the renewed Air Attacks by Russia and France under the NEW category

    Sounds like you have great interest in history and a lot more knowledge on these subjects than I do. I have thought for awhile that humans seem to just look for power over other humans any way they can get it- whether from honest innovation and competition, or a myriad of far less honorable and manipulative ways. Government powers have been used for all sorts of power grabbing hidden agendas and cronyism. Even though the USA had a constitution, it was ignored from the start whenever it was convenient Religious freedom was ok except for the hated Mormons. Territories were invaded and Indians "resettled" in a quest for more land. . And then there was the civil war to put down the south which seemingly just wanted to not be ruled by the "union". It's been a very unclean past. I want trump for 4 years to expose what goes on. He is the only one that doesn't care about political correctness and might actually tell it like it is. More than 4 years could be bad for his crony capitalistic leanings though

    I imagine similar scenes played out in the room next to Boehner's office as he suffered his political death. Or did he. He said he would resign...after some key votes. Did he say resign from politics? Remember Arlen Specter? All he has to do is resign membership in the Dumbos and switch to the Demos and McConnell as the wagging tail. No real difference RINO = Democrat.


    Politician's all. Then and now.

    Just to settle a second follow on point in advance. When the vote on partition of Palestine was taken in the 'United Nations there were two ways to say yes. Many nations voted Yes De Jure meaning it was the legal and right thing to do. The USA voted yes De Facto meaning they are in fact there.

    During WWII the Roosevelt Government routinely withheld recognition, denied the evidence as it mounted, denied Katyn Forest evidence which indicted the Russians for that massacre, and denied sancturary for those escaping Hitler's Germany. The British routinely after the war turned back refugee ships leaving Europe for Palestine. The French government during the war was openly anti-semitic and the British also. Palestine was a sanctuary for the survivors but the Allies were not protectors.

    The USA involved in Nuremberg because of overwhelming public opinion when the stories broke. Nuremberg was chosen because it was home of the Nuremberg Laws which stripped German citizens (Jews) of all rights including property rights. I will go so far as to say if it were not for oil the attitude in Washington DC would be far different as to the Middle East's Muslim population and were it not for it's shameful and well publicized role in World War II would have been far different for Israel. Along with being the world's largest practitioner of Apartheid to this day the Districts skirts were and are far from clean as are the skirts of Europe who used those populations as cheap labor much as we have done with the population of Mexico. In the latter version the US unions are as much to blame as the U
    S Government en toto both previously separate parties and the indifference of the voting population.

    Pol Pot and Stalin and German and others regimes actions while reprehensible are no less acceptable than those getting less unfavorable publicity today. Human slavery to any degree is human slavery no matter if in Syria or in the lower 48 and no matter the treatment or substandard wage levels. Well the US businesses and house hold got their cheap labor and had their cheap hamburgers and now that's gone. The unions had their closed shop sweetheart rules with preferential contract treatment....that should be the next target. Repeal of Davis-Bacon act and open bidding. Right To Work laws made the law of the land. Sherman Anti-Trust II applied to labor as well as corporations. The US Governments support of human trafficking curtailed.

    The trouble with pointing a finger is the three hidden fingers reflecting our own national policies.

    Indian Reservations? Another name for apartheid.
    Cheap Mexican Labor and depressed US wages?
    No labor representation nor protection for the majority of US workers?
    US Gov't support of racism, sexism,ethnic and religious intolerance and the world wide sex trade human trafficking?
    and one ignored Constitution

    And we end up with looters and moochers like Hillary and Trump as leading candidates.

    and one ignored Constitution

    and wonder why?

    That's the context of our times. We aren't responsible for the past we are responsible for the now.

    I had read somewhere that Nikita was in on poisoning old Joe, and he and several others were drinking in the next room waiting while the "Man of Steel" slowly died. Not that he didn't deserve it, but that's pretty cold.

    I didn't actually claim the trials were engineered BY the "jews". It just appeared that they were done so as to not let the atrocities in the nazis just be hidden There have been atrocities committed by other despots like Stalin and the Cambodian guy (Pot?). That haven't gotten the focus of public trials but I believe we're just as deadly

    The truth is that neither the Holocost, nor the Jews, had anything to do with the Nuremberg Trials. The Trials were actually orchestrated by Stalin and the Allied were pulled into the scheme, without realizing it. The main object was to prove Nazi aggression against Europe in general and the Soviet Union in particular. That way, Stalin's agrression against Poland, the Baltic States and Finland, as well as his plans to "liberate" Europe from his friend Hitler could be swept under the rug. It worked.

    Just a quick search of the obvious places I found one reference in one of those holocaust denial neo-Nazi places out of 20 sites checked. I'd be more inclined to look for the opposite viewpoint in the US State Department back then easy search.

    Like any good socialist, he regrets the damage he caused to the ozone layers and is making you pay for it.

    So, before you say that (oops, you've already said that...), what evidence can you present to us that Jews had anything to do with the Nuremburg Trials? The few remaining Jews that were just freed from extermination and on the verge of starvation, not allowed by the British into Palestine, not accepted by any country in the world, somehow engineered the Nuremburg Trials? Please explain.
