THIS DAY IN HISTORY – Nuremberg trials begin – 1945

Via History.com

Twenty-four high-ranking Nazis go on trial in Nuremberg, Germany, for atrocities committed during World War II.

The Nuremberg Trials were conducted by an international tribunal made up of representatives from the United States, the Soviet Union, France and Great Britain. It was the first trial of its kind in history, and the defendants faced charges ranging from crimes against peace, to crimes of war, to crimes against humanity. Lord Justice Geoffrey Lawrence, the British member, presided over the proceedings, which lasted 10 months and consisted of 216 court sessions.

On October 1, 1946, 12 architects of Nazi policy were sentenced to death. Seven others were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 10 years to life, and three were acquitted. Of the original 24 defendants, one, Robert Ley, committed suicide while in prison, and another, Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach, was deemed mentally and physically incompetent to stand trial. Among those condemned to death by hanging were Joachim von Ribbentrop, Nazi minister of foreign affairs; Hermann Goering, leader of the Gestapo and the Luftwaffe; Alfred Jodl, head of the German armed forces staff; and Wilhelm Frick, minister of the interior.

On October 16, 10 of the architects of Nazi policy were hanged. Goering, who at sentencing was called the “leading war aggressor and creator of the oppressive program against the Jews,” committed suicide by poison on the eve of his scheduled execution. Nazi Party leader Martin Bormann was condemned to death in absentia (but is now believed to have died in May 1945). Trials of lesser German and Axis war criminals continued in Germany into the 1950s and resulted in the conviction of 5,025 other defendants and the execution of 806.

And one year and three months later my 6 month old sister died in Nuremberg. The death certificate says gastroenteritis. My father was a Lt. with the Army Air Force which became the Air Force 18 September, 1947, then becoming a separate and equal element of the Armed Forces. Dad had piloted a glider into France the night before D-Day. He told me it was a rough landing and the soft bodied brass he was carrying were hurt and incapacitated. There is a movie scene in Saving Private Ryan which recreates it in my imagination.

Father attended to military details in making the peace and worked closely with Gypsies as Germans generally could not be trusted. He eventually collected German Shepherd dogs to bring back to the states. I like to say I was raised by GS’s as we owned a succession of of them, from the litters guarding SAC bases.

My parents and two year old brother were billeted in a house taken from German Nationals. My mother said the couple were nice, bringing milk and things for infant Nancy Carol. Eventually I came to imagine that perhaps Nancy was poisoned, just intuition from meditations about my sister, who died one year before I was born. As a young man I asked my father if perhaps something nefarious was involved with her death. He gave me a stern look telling me not to bring up things that would upset his wife, and he did not deny my belief.

With your rich family background it is hard to imagine you were only a dentist.

The Nazi’s original sin was that they initiated war according to the kangaroo court. That holy jurisprudence has since been flushed down the memory hole now that the u.s. has initiated multiple wars. Just another example of the ‘No one is above the law’ bullshit story.

The trials were a travesty in so many ways that an objective seeker of truth on the matter hardly knows where to start, one reason for which is that he will be incarcerated or his career destroyed for the sin of questioning or simply researching the so-called holocaust.

Though never openly brought up, Hitler’s greatest sin IMO was that, while the rest of the Western world was mired in the Great Depresion, he restored prosperity to Germany by circumventing the Rothchild ((international banking cabal)).

Lars..
Yup. That is the only unforgivable sin. The high crime of Blasphemy and heresy against the Jewish owned Central Banks. That was Napoleons undoing, The Tzar’s undoing, and the list goes on.

Of course those war crimes committed by Churchill and Eisenhower such as an actual holocaust – i.e. the supremely vindictive fire-bombing of unarmed refugee civilians, tens of thousands of children included, in Dresden, a city with no tactical or strategic military or industrial assets – or crimes against humanity such as the loss of 1.5 million lives of captive German civilians in Eisenhower’s death camps immediately after Germany’s destruction are studiously ignored or memory-holed

Statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception.

That is a very powerful post Flash. Hiroshima, Dresden and Vietnam. Lew Rockwell was asked by some commission what he thought would make a good monument honoring WW2. He answered a million brass skulls welded into a pile. They rejected the idea, of course. Pity.

Google Confirms Android Camera Security Threat: ‘Hundreds Of Millions’ Of Users Affected

I asked Ian Thornton-Trump, a cyber threat intelligence expert and CompTIA global faculty member, for his take on the seriousness of this vulnerability disclosure and how it plays into the broader smartphone security narrative. “My jaw dropped when I read this report about just how vulnerable the camera app was,” Thornton-Trump says, “it did not sound like a vulnerability, it sounded more like an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actor with fully-featured spyware.”

They project onto us what they themselves have done in spades.

Far too many of our folk naively discount the power of international jewry and reflexively dismiss those few among us who point it out as baselessly angry jew-haters. They need to come to their senses.

It’s 9:20 EST and the Anti-Jew Basher, Bashers haven’t shown up yet. What gives? Where’s Mygirl and Martel?
Anyone doubt the Jews are behind the riots in Iran? Iran and N. Korea are the only countries left that don’t have a Rothchild owned Central Bank.

Now, after 70 years of Hitler bashing it’s finally coming out that Russia was indeed on the verge of attacking Germany. The Soviets were so easily over run because they were strictly an offensive Army massed 100 miles inside the border to avoid detection.

Substitute satanic power for jewish power, knowing that satan (for reasons that are easily explainable with some Bible study) targets and uses specifically the massively deceived jews for his nefarious purposes, and I’m with you.

The jews don’t have power greater or lesser than anyone, though many sit near the pyramids peak. The power wielded through them is spiritual and purely evil. They are deceived. They missed the entirety of what God gave them opportunity to be. Theirs, along with most others, is the god of this world (2 Cor 4:3-4). So sad…

Job 12:16 KJB… “With Him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.”

God yet has unfulfilled promises made to them that can’t not be kept however. Things are going to change big time here on earth before such comes to pass. You ready?

I realize there remains a group of people that continue to fall under the umbrella of God’s people. To keep it straight (for myself) .. i refer to the evil ones as .. satan’s tribe. Works for me.

Gods people today are members of a body; neither jew nor gentile, but I hear you loud and clear. Christ Himself referred to unbelieving Israel as the synagogue of satan and nothing has changed in 2,000 years.

Victors justice all dressed up in judicial robes. Nothing new here. The losers have been at the mercy of the winners since time began. The moral of the story is DON’T LOSE.

Cutesy simplistic answer.
They were left with the same choice we are being given today. Groveling submission and continued humiliation or dying on our feet win or lose.
Don’t believe me. Look no further than Queer Cakes and the groveling of Chick-Filet.
