The following excerpts thoroughly document how capitalists really acted during the Second World War. Behind the patriotic propaganda that encouraged the working class to slaughter each other in the interests of competing national interests, international capital quietly kept the commodity circuits flowing and profits growing across all borders.

We begin with some excerpts from "Trading With the Enemy: An Exposé of The Nazi-American Money-Plot 1933-1949" by Charles Higham; Hale, London, 1983.

This is followed by "The Coca Cola Company under the Nazis" by Eleanor Jones and Florian Ritzmann; From the "Coca Cola Goes to War" website; http://xroads.virginia.edu/~CLASS/coke/coke.html

From the "Trading With the Enemy" cover blurb;
"Here is the extraordinary true story of the American businessmen and government officials who dealt with the Nazis for profit or through conviction throughout the Second World War: Ford. Standard Oil, Chase Bank and members of the State Department were among those who shared in the spoils. Meticulously documented and dispassionately told, this is an alarming story. At its centre is 'The Fraternity', an influential international group associated with the Rockefeller or Morgan banks and linked by the ideology of Business as Usual.
Higham starts with an account of the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland - a Nazi-controlled bank presided over by an American, Thomas H. McKittrick, even in 1944. While Americans were dying in the war, McKittrick sat down with his German, Japanese, Italian, British and American executive staff to discuss the gold bars that had been sent to the Bank earlier that year by the Nazi government for use by its leaders after the war. This was gold that had been looted from the banks of Austria, Belgium, and Czechoslovakia or melted down from teeth fillings, eyeglass frames, and wedding rings of millions of murdered Jews.
...
But that is only one of the cases detailed in this book. We have Standard Oil shipping enemy fuel through Switzerland for the Nazi occupation forces in France; Ford trucks transporting German troops; I.T.T. helping supply the rocket bombs that marauded much of London ; and I.T.T. building the Focke-Wulfs that dropped those bombs. Long and shocking is the list of diplomats and businessmen alike who had their own ways of profiting from the war."

Preface to the book TRADING WITH THE ENEMY: An Exposé of The Nazi-American Money-Plot 1933-1949 by Charles Higham; Hale, London, 1983.
Preface
It would be comforting to believe that the financial Establishment of the United States and the leaders of American industry were united in a common purpose following the Day of Infamy, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Certainly, the American public was assured that Big Business along with all of the officials of government ceased from the moment the war began to have any dealings whatsoever with the enemy. That assurance sustained the morale of millions of Americans who bore arms in World War II and their kinfolk who stayed at home and suffered the anguish of separation.
But the heartbreaking truth is that a number of financial and industrial figures of World War II and several members of the government served the cause of money before the cause of patriotism. While aiding the United States' war effort, they also aided Nazi Germany's.
...
It thus came as a severe shock to learn that several of the greatest American corporate leaders were in league with Nazi corporations before and after Pearl Harbor, including I.G. Farben, the colossal Nazi industrial trust that created Auschwitz. Those leaders interlocked through an association I have dubbed The Fraternity. Each of these business leaders was entangled with the others through interlocking directorates or financial sources. All were represented internationally by the National City Bank or by the Chase National Bank and by the Nazi attorneys Gerhardt Westrick and Dr. Heinrich Albert. All had connections to that crucial Nazi economist, Emil Puhl, of Hitler's Reichsbank and the Bank for International Settlements.
The tycoons were linked by an ideology: the ideology of Business as Usual. Bound by identical reactionary ideas, the members sought a common future in fascist domination, regardless of which world leader might further that ambition.
Several members not only sought a continuing alliance of interests for the duration of World War II but supported the idea of a negotiated peace with Germany that would bar any reorganization of Europe along liberal lines. It would leave as its residue a police state that would place The Fraternity in postwar possession of financial, industrial, and political autonomy. When it was clear that Germany was losing the war the businessmen became notably more "loyal." Then, when war was over, the survivors pushed into Germany, protected their assets, restored Nazi friends to high office, helped provoke the Cold War, and insured the permanent future of The Fraternity.

While corporate owned, highly censored mainstream media beat the drums of war, playing a video showing "Iran's interference in Iraq where they are, gasp, "killing AMERICAN soldiers."
I recall Hitler dressing up some poor Polish people they had captured, tortured then dressed in Polish army uniforms and placed their bodies on the German side of the border, claiming the Poles had invaded Germany - Hitler then marched into Poland.

We have watched American pre-emptive war(s) and genocide for decades, and generations...the American involvement, conscience and responsibility unexamined, unprosecuted and therefore repeated, blindly again and again.

The real shock and awe will be if America can wake up and come to terms with the actions of the fascist corporate psychopaths who have promoted slavery, genocide and murder throughout the world. Every American oil company in Darfur involved in stealing land from indigenous people, every auto company and armaments company who arm both sides of every war, is oppressing us as surely as they are the rest of the world. Every pharmaceutical company that uses South Africa and the gay community as its concentration camp for drug testing.

Millions of black people have been driven out of New Orleans and death squads now roam the streets like El Salvador and everywhere else the USA is. or has been involved.

During WWII the Russians liberated Nazi death camps, the Canadians liberated Nazi death camps....the Americans showed up late for WII after arming both sides. THAT IS WHY THE USA IS HATED...no more - no less. The lies, the constant, unrelenting mockingbird of justice the mainstream media of the USA has become. The USA was practicing, sanctioned slavery while claiming to be a democracy for over two hundred years. Not much has changed, the slavery exported abroad has simply come home to roost - now to be foisted on the middle class of America.

The suits occupying the White House are criminal corporate thugs who answer to no one.
(Please correct me if I am wrong - what law, or legality governs their behavior?)
The mainstream media has protected the Bush crime family for over three decades, hiding the truth buried in the National Archives that shows Bush involvement in war from the Merchants of Death in WWI to today.

There is no habeas corpus in the USA - it is a police state run by corporations, who seized control illegally in a fraudulent election in 2001. You cannot spread abroad what you have never had at home. The press is not free - it is a paid off mouth piece for psychopathic corporations who justify everything one way - does it make money (?). Conscience, intellect,
integrity and character have no part in this psychopathic narcissism that is provided as justification for their actions.

We lost WWII. We lost it to Nazi corporations and individuals who were never prosecuted, yet they made it all possible in the first place. Isn't THAT the root of most of the evil in the world today - the unprosecuted behavior of US criminal corporations, and the "families" like the Bush's who have been an integral part of every war.

It looks incredibly bizarre for a country that has illegally, immorally and genocidally (shock and awe bombing in a country with no airforce to defend itself?) invaded and now occupies Iraq, to accuse Iran of "meddling" or "intefering". Interfering in what - trying to keep the USA away from THEIR borders.

What would we do in Canada if someone invaded the USA?
