Presidential Ambassador-New York

Presidential Ambassador USA- Nazi Germany I have beside me a book ‘Americans in Paris’ by Charles Glass which is like the afore mentioned ‘War Lovers’ the frustrating work of an American historian intent on double speak about critical events in the story of Empire State. Last post we ended with a question which frustratingly appears not answered- And instead here in this passage we get views into the intimate higher levels of the Roosevelt Whitehouse in its dealings with Nazi Germany with based in New York the critical ambassador being the invisible to the ordinary Americans the untouchable Thomas J Watson… Hey I might also ask for a ticket to the Eternal Jew’s court session to get to the bottom of what IBM were up to in the lead up to Europe wide world war. Our foremost journalist-Investigate Magazine- Ian Wishart tells us ‘follow the money’ and missing here is how Dehomag profits flowed back to New York but a clue maybe is that Watson is a director of the Federal Reserve Bank thus able to work with the - Bank of International Settlements.. Sorry but I am frustrated. The story line is Sadaam Hussein /Adolf Hitler were bad/evil yet the evidence is of US diplomacy working in a way that none others could or would in close relationship with these respected German and Iraqi Presidents who then- Quite suddenly- Whitehouse agrees with the protestors and those former close friends of USA are fought against at the cost of American Lives. And we get these names of back room dealers in an unwritten history, with in the Paris story two men; Charles Bedaux and William C Bullitt- Nothing seems to be as it is when looked at more carefully! ‘Watson was equally appreciated and admired by fascists especially in Germany. In its struggle with the democratic governments and popular movements that opposed German’s anti-Semitic drive. Nazis greatly valued their unexpected and influential ally. To them it was a subtle green light of quiet approval because Watson seemed… to speak for more than one American firm- he seemed to represent President Franklin D Roosevelt and indeed American itself….. the roll call of honorary appointments of power and prestige was long and enviable. He was chairman of the Carnegie Endowment for Peace, and chairman of the American section of the International Chamber of Commerce…director of the Federal Reserve and trustee of Columbia University. His access to Secretary of State Cordell Hull and more importantly to President Roosevelt was unparalleled… Soon Roosevelt began to rely on Watson for advice… Watson’s son remembers. ‘He served unofficially as Roosevelt’s representative in New York’ If a foreign dignitary arrived, the White House might ask Watson to stage and honorary luncheon, all father had to do was press a button- He had a whole department that did nothing but set up company dinners and other functions all at IBM expense’ Indeed Roosevelt remarked ‘I handle em in Washington and Tom handles em in New York’ Watson leveraged his position with the Administration to develop extensive contacts with Secretary of State, numerous ambassadors and the State Dept in general… No wonder Nazi Germany considered Watson a very powerful friend… the German consul in New York was a house guest at Watson’s home and Watson insisted on arranging for him complimentary country club privileges at the IBM Country club. His socializing with the German ambassador was equally robust making certain that special invitations fo9r dinners regularly circulated among German diplomats… Watson would travel to Germany regularly during the 30s for first hand information about the situation in the Nazi Reich… From the very first moments and continuing throughout the 12 year existence of the Third Reich, IBM placed its technology at the disposal of Hitler’s program of Jewish destruction and dominating Europe… like any technological evolution each new solution powered a new level of sinister expectation and cruel capability. P91-94 IBM and the Holocaust. ‘A reporter asked a question: On Tuesday Mr President you indicated that you did not propose, or would not consider lowering the immigration barriers for the benefit of (Jewish) German refugees… have you changed your mind? No said President Roosevelt…. P103 Human Smoke N Baker Simon and Schuster New York 2008.
