  • My point was poorly communicated sorry. I was getting at how we helped set up Mossad between 49 and 51, and have not stopped. Since it’s founding we have supported them financially, we have freely shared research and data with them that we do not share with anybody else (one way, it’s not reciprocal), we have peddled their propaganda across the world and our own country, we allowed them to lobby our government despite it being illegal and not allowing any other country to do so in an open official capacity (yes, AIPAC started in 1954…and weirdly the first president that called it out had an unfortunate accident).








  • You’re kinda proving their point lol. If you consider the US during that era to even slightly lean left then you have no familiarity with left wing policy and ideology…plus there was the whole, “oh shit, Communism is growing in popularity, quick give them the most bare bones social safety net so they don’t get angry enough to demand actual socialism” thing before they could get the cold war facade up.


  • That’s the problem though, like we’re in this spot specifically because the masses can be placated with a scapegoat. In such a massive system as a government or major corporation, 1 person did not make the decisions alone and it absolutely took way the fuck more than 1 person to enact them. Humanity has never taken things far enough to punish the most heinous of crimes, look at how well things went for so many former Nazis…their surviving rape victims were literally treated worse and received the hatred from the masses that should have been directed at the people making decisions and carrying out the orders.

    The path is more important than the destination. Knowing the end result of a genocide does not help in prevention; however knowing step by step how a group of people was convinced to murder/torture/rape/enslave/dehumanize the entirety of another group of people is a massive help in preventing it.

    Open a history book, please. The Nazis plan wasn’t to kill all Jews, it was to deport them all elsewhere until they realized how absurdly expensive that was, then the plan kept getting worse and worse until the gas chambers era that somehow is the only fucking thing people know about Nazi Germany now.
