Long thread on Wall St and the rise of Hitler. Will take me a little bit to upload everything, so make sure to check back.

"The Dawes Plan, adopted in August 1924, fitted perfectly tnto the plans of the German General Staff's miltary econo- mists." (Testimony before United States Senate, Committee on Military Affairs, 1946,)

The post-World War Kilgore Committee of the United States Senate heard detailed evidence from government officials to the effect that,

"..when the Nazis came to power in 1933, they found that long strides had been made stnce 1918 in preparing Cermany for war from an economic and tndustrial point of view.'

This build-up for European war both before and after 1933 was in great part due to Wall Street financial assistance in the 1920s to create the German cartel system, and to technical assistance from well-known American firms to build the German Wehrmacht. Whereas this financial and technical assistance is referred to as "'acciden- tal" or due to the "short-sightedness"" of American businessmen, the evidence presented below strongly suggests some degree of premeditation on the part of these American financiers.

Similar and unacceptable pleas of "accident" were made on behalf of American financiers and industrialists in the parallel example of building the military power of the Soviet Union from 1917 onwards. Yet these American capitalists were willing to finance and subsidize the Soviet Union while the Vietnam War was underway, knowing that the Soviets were supplying the other side.

The contribution made by American capitalism to German war preparations before 1940 can only be described as phenomenal. It was certainly crucial to German military capabilities. For instance, in 1934, Germany produced domestically only 300,000 tons of natural petroleum products. and less than 300,000 tons of synthetic gasoline; the balance was imported. Yet, ten years later, in World War II, after transfer of the Standard Oil of New Jersey hydrogenation patents and technology to I. C. Farben (used to produce synthetic gasoline from coal), Germany produced about 64 million tons of oil, of which 85 percent (5 ½ million tons) was synthetic oil using the Standard 0il hydrogenation process. Moreover, the control of synthetic oil output in Germany was held by the I.G. Farben subsidiary, Braunkohle-Benzin A.G. and this Farben cartel itself was created in 1926 with Wall Street financial assistance. On the other hand, the general impression left with the reader by modern historians is that this American technical assistance was accidental and that American industrialists were innocent of wrongdoing. For example, the Kilgore Committee stated:

"The United States accidentally played an important role in the technical arming of Germany. Although the German military planners had ordered and persuaded manufacturing corporations to install modern equipment for mass production, neither the military economists nor the corporations seem to have realized to the full extent what that meant. Their eyes were opened when two of the chief American automobile companies built plants in Germany in order to sell in the European market, without the handicap of ocean freight charges and high German tariffs. Germans were brought to Detroit to learn the techniques of speclalized production of components and of straight-line assembly. What they saw caused further reorganization and refitting of other key German war plants. The techniques learned in Detroit were eventually used to construct the dive bombing Stukas.... At a later period, I.G. Farben representatives in this country enabled a stream of German engineers to visit not only plane plants but others of military importance, in which they learned a great deal that was eventually used against the Untted States."

Following these observations, which emphasize the "accidental" nature of the assistance, it has been concluded by such academic writers as Gabriel Kolko, who is not usually a supporter of big business, that:

"It ts almost superfluous to point out that the motives of the American firms bound to contracts with German concerns were not pro-Nazi, whatever else they may have been."

Yet, Kolko to the contrary, analyses of the contemporary American business press confirm that business journals and newspapers were fully aware of the Nazi threat and its nature, while warning their business readers of German war preparations. And even Kolko admits that:

"The business press [in the United States] was aware, from 1935 on, that German prosperity was based war preparations. More important, it was conscious of the fact that German industry was under the control of the Nazis and was being directed to serve Germany's rearmament, and the firm mentioned most frequently in this context was the giant chemical empire, I.G. Farben."

Further, the evidence presented below suggests that not only was an influential sector of American business aware of the nature of Nazism, but for its own purposes aided Nazism wherever Possible (and profitable) with full knowledge that the probable outcome would be war involving Europe and the United States. As we shall see, the pleas of innocence do not accord with the facts.

Heres a long thread of quotes from the 1800s that led up to the civil war.

Henry L. Benning, Georgia politician and future Confederate general, writing in the summer of 1849 to his fellow Georgian, Howell Cobb: "First then, it is apparent, horribly apparent, that the slavery question rides insolently over every other everywhere---in fact that is the only question which in the least affects the results of the elections." [Allan Nevins, The Fruits of Manifest Destiny pages 240-241.] Later in the same letter Benning says, "I think then, 1st, that the only safety of the South from abolition universal is to be found in an early dissolution of the Union."

Senator Jefferson Davis of Mississippi (future Confederate President): "A large part of the non-slaveholding States have declared war against the institution of slavery. They have announced that it shall not be extended, and with that annunciation have coupled the declaration that it is a stain upon the Republic ..." [Speech in the Senate, Feb. 13--14, 1850; Congressional Globe, 31st Congress, 1st Session, Appendix, p. 149.]

Davis, from the same speech: "The slave trade, however, so far as the African was concerned, was a blessing; it brought him from abject slavery and a barbarian master, and sold him into a Christian land ... The slave trade has been the greatest source of permanent blessing to him."
Davis, again (same speech): "We claim that it is the duty of the Government to protect every species of property."

Stephan Dodson Ramseur, future Confederate general, writing from West Point (where he was a cadet) to a friend in the wake of the 1856 election: "...Slavery, the very source of our existence, the greatest blessing both for Master & Slave that could have been bestowed upon us."

Albert Gallatin Brown, U.S. Senator from Mississippi, speaking on Spt. 11, 1858, with regard to the several filibuster expeditions to Central America: "I want Cuba . . . I want Tamaulipas, Potosi, and one or two other Mexican States; and I want them all for the same reason -- for the planting and spreading of slavery." [Battle Cry of Freedom, p. 106]

Brown, again, from the same speech: "I would spread the blessings of slavery, like the religion of our Divine Master, to the uttermost ends of the earth."

Brown, yet again, December 27, 1860: "Mr. President, it seems to me that northern Senators most pertinaciously overlook the main point at issue between the two sections of our Confederacy. We claim that there is property in slaves, and they deny it. Until we shall settle, upon some basis, that point of controversy, it is idle to talk of going any further." [Quote taken from The Congressional Globe, 36th Cong., 2nd Sess., p. 201.]

Senator James Bayard (Democrat of Delaware), in a letter to his son, dated December 12, 1860: "The sole cause of the existing disunion excitement which is about to break up the government is the war which has been carried on for years past all manner of devices by the antislavery fanatical sentiment upon more than $2,000,000,000 of property." [Bayard papers]

Richard Thompson Archer (Mississippi planter): "The South is invaded. It is time for all patriots to be united, to be under military organization, to be advancing to the conflict determined to live or die in defence of the God given right to own the African"---letter to the Vicksburg Sun, Dec. 8, 1859. Representative Benjamin Stanton, Republican of Ohio, January 15, 1861: "Mr. Chairman, I desire to state, in a few words, what I regard as the real question in controversy between the political parties of the country. The Republican party holds that African slavery is a local institution, created and sustained by State laws and usages that cannot exist beyond the limits of the State, by virtue of whose laws it is established and sustained. The Democratic party holds that African slavery is a national institution, recognized and sustained by the Constitution of the United States throughout the entire territorial limits, where not prohibited by State constitutions and State laws...All other questions about which we differ grow out of this, and are dependent upon it..." [Congressional Globe, 36th Cong., 2nd Sess., (Appendix), p 58]

Senator Robert M. T. Hunter of Virginia: "There is not a respectable system of civilization known to history whose foundations were not laid in the institution of domestic slavery." [Battle Cry of Freedom, p. 56.]

Richmond Enquirer, 1856: "Democratic liberty exists solely because we have slaves . . . freedom is not possible without slavery."
Atlanta Confederacy, 1860: "We regard every man in our midst an enemy to the institutions of the South, who does not boldly declare that he believes African slavery to be a social, moral, and political blessing."

Atlanta Confederacy, 1860: "We regard every man in our midst an enemy to the institutions of the South, who does not boldly declare that he believes African slavery to be a social, moral, and political blessing."

Lawrence Keitt, Congressman from South Carolina, in a speech to the House on January 25, 1860: "African slavery is the corner-stone of the industrial, social, and political fabric of the South; and whatever wars against it, wars against her very existence. Strike down the institution of African slavery and you reduce the South to depopulation and barbarism." Later in the same speech he said, "The anti-slavery party contend that slavery is wrong in itself, and the Government is a consolidated national democracy. We of the South contend that slavery is right, and that this is a confederate Republic of sovereign States." Congressional Globe

Keitt again, this time as delegate to the South Carolina secession convention, during the debates on the state's declaration of causes: "Our people have come to this on the question of slavery. I am willing, in that address to rest it upon that question. I think it is the great central point from which we are now proceeding, and I am not willing to divert the public attention from it." Taken from the Charleston, South Carolina, Courier, dated Dec. 22, 1860. Keitt became a colonel in the Confederate army and was killed at Cold Harbor on June 1, 1864.

Every maga I've ever seen complain about immigrants taking American jobs would never do this. Question. If trump wins and fulfills his campaign promises.

Common law.... lol Charlie kirk is so full of shit.

Thomas Jefferson once said, "If, therefore, from the settlement of the Saxons, to the introduction of Christianity among them, that system of religion could not be a part of the common law, because they were not yet Christians". He also said that since there is no evidence of Christianity being adopted into the common law from the time of the Saxons until the end of the common law, "we may safely affirm (though contradicted by all the judges and writers on earth) that Christianity neither is, nor ever was, a part of the common law".

What havoc has been made of books through every century of the Christian era? Where are fifty gospels condemned as spurious by the bull of Pope Gelasius? Where are forty wagon-loads of Hebrew manuscripts burned in France, by order of another pope, because of suspected heresy? Remember the Index Expurgato-rius, the Inquisition, the stake, the axe, the halter, and the guillotine; and, oh! horrible, the rack! This is as bad, if not worse, than a slow fire. Nor should the Lion's Mouth be forgotten. Have you considered that system of holy lies and pious frauds that has raged and triumphed for 1,500 years.

Hey you redneck maga ppl when exactly did you become so pro law enforcement? Do you even know where the term redneck comes from? In the 1800's coal mining was serious business. And companies didn't even pay you. They gave you monopoly money that was only good at company owned stores because in the 1st gilded age we had company towns. Where everything was owned by the company. Even your home.

Because we are in the end stages of capitalism and oligarchs will protect their wealth at all costs. Like in 1934 America's oligarchs formed the American liberty league to undermine FDR's political ambitions.

The same year smedly butler testified to Congress he was approached to lead an industrialist coup against FDR w ½ million soldiers. Oligarchy and fascism embrace eachother. We are again at another crossroad in our country like we were here in the 1930's.

South Carolina Preacher James Henley Thornwell called slavery, "the obligation to labour for another, determined by the providence of god." He also went on to say, "the parties in this conflict are not merely abolitionist and slaveholders; they are atheists, socialists, communists, red Republicans, jacobins on the one side, and the friends of order and regulated freedom on the other."

Tired of being everyone's joke. Tired of being treated like I was subhuman. Tired of being looked at with disgust. Tired of ppl telling my wife she should leave me. Tired of men disrespecting me by trying to pick up my wife.

No MAGA supporter can ever claim to love the troops again. If any maga says they support the troops punch them in the mouth. Trump has directly endangered our entire military/spies/soldiers/country/allies. The damage he caused exceeds men like Alger hiss or Robert Henssen. It's unprecedented what trump has done through his crimes and there's still more to come. Let me be clear, he is the biggest traitor this country has ever seen. He has ripped America from its foundations of democracy. He has put the safety and well being of our country at risk.

Was it during Jim Crow when black ppl were severely persecuted and executed? Was it in the gilded age when men were killed for trying to unionize? Was it in the mid 1800's when half the country killed eachother over slavery?

What made america special, what really shook the world, wasn't exactly representative government or human rights. It was the fact America was the 1st country to establish itself w/out a religion. When Thomas Jefferson wasn't writing declarations, being president, inventing, erecting a hard wall between church and state or enslaving millions of Africans, he spent a great deal of time cutting out all the superstition, miracles and wonders that surrounded Jesus in the Bible.
