Pushing out and hunting them down

Pushing out and hunting them down. ‘By April 20 about the time when Watson decided IBM should solicit the census project, New York Times headlines reported more than 10, 000 refugees had fled Germany in the face of daily home invasions, tortures and kidnappings 30,000 more were already imprisoned in camps or prisons and 10,000 were facing economic ruination and even starvation. On May 10th about the time when IBM was at the height of its negotiations for the census the world was further shocked when the Nazis stage their first publicized book burnings. By the end of May, when Dehomags contract with the Reich was finalized the New York Times and the rest of America’s media had continuously published details of Jews being brutalized ousted from one profession after another … On 11th June the day before the door to door census the New York Times reported that the government was searching through the backgrounds of 350.000 government workers to identify which among them might be of Jewish extraction who were liable to dismissal. In the same edition of New York Times a page specific summary of Adolf Hitler’s book Mein Kampf explained how completely public was his program of Jewish annihilation. Hitler declared on page 344 ‘If at the beginning of the Great War 12,000 to 15,000 of these corrupters of the people (Jews) had been held under poison gas… then the sacrifice of millions at the front would not have been in vain… 12,000 scoundrels removed at the right time might perhaps have saved the lives of one million proper Germans’ p83 IBM and the Holocaust. We often think that if we read it in the New York Times or there is a big internationally covered demonstration then somehow or other we have achieved political change or society will never be outrageous. Some people think that the cruelty administered to animals on factory farms worldwide and especially in USA and other civilized nations because it is protested against will somehow or other come to an end. When and sorry if some reading this find the comparison abhorrent… when the reality is that the conditions that pigs are held under in my nation at least- well when you find out the reality you would want to weep- or get angry- but Big Business has had the full backing of the establishment. The spying agencies see ALF- Animal Liberation Front as one of the most dangerous terrorist organizations that they have had to deal with- and have applied the full resources which this IBM book tells of the start of- to tracking down and imprisoning those who have gone mere talk to attempt to stop the outrage. No when you have Law and government –backed by hiding in the shadows Big business behind something the journalists and protestors can do little and a change of government and a revolution in the way things are done- in the ideological foundations is what it takes. The holocaust as we have seen was deeply rooted in the Exceptionalism of 400 years of white racist American Calvinism and from that ideological platform in New York- Empire State Hitler encouraged by such as Rockefeller, Henry Ford, Prescott Bush and Thomas J Watson could become 1938 time Magazine Man of the Year in spite of the murmuring of Jewish journalists in New York in 1933. Do I have this story line right? Even if it is only half way right- if another Holocaust is already in the making then- THINK!
