O The Times, They Are A Changin'

...Mengele hung...

We've all heard of Josef Mengele I'm sure. How many have heard of Otmar Freiherr von Verschuer? He was the chief of the Keiser Wilhelm Institute (funded by the Rockefeller and Carnegie Trusts), which was the pre-war leader in the sort of horrors we associate with Mengele, who was in fact a student and employee of Vershuer, and was sent to Auschwitz as such on Verschuer's orders. Mengele hung, but Verschuer was not prosecuted. By 1949 he had become a corresponding member of the American Society of Human Genetics. In 1950 the University of Munster offered him a position at its Institute of Human Genetics. He later became a member of the Italian Society of Genetics, the Anthropological Society of Vienna, and the Japanese Society for Human Genetics. That's odd..:whistling:

Ah yes, thanks. My mistake. In any case though, the point was mainly that, while some NAZI scientists were executed (or as you said escaped only to live in hiding), others were welcomed with open arms into the post-war society.

Correct, Werner von Braun and Heisenberg being the two most famous.

One wonders if they were really sincere during their time in Nazi Germany or if they were just going along to get along.

This shows what I think is essential to human survival: Make your selves useful!
Stay in school, kids.

PS. BrightNoon: I wrote a related post in your Anomalous Century thread a while ago, that I really like.
Haven't you subscribed to those threads any more? I would like to know what you think.

I have enjoyed watching Glenn Beck for a few months now, almost a year in fact, despite my opinion that he was just another shill, albeit a more clever one, who rather than ignoring the issues, was attempting to redirect the public anger about them. E.g., he, along with FOX in general, attempted to co-opt the 'tea-parties,' thereby making them partisan and easier to dismiss by other media factions. However, I've noticed, especially in the last month or two, an increasing, and shocking, level of honesty in Beck. He's been describing in detail the movement toward authoritarianism in this country, on all fronts: the service agenda, pseudo-environmentalism (i.e. anti-humanism), attacks on free speech, government usurpation of a mind-boggling number of new economic powers, the Fed's role, etc. I've been smiling though as he tried to pin these evils on the 'progressives' and the democrats, while carefully avoiding mention of the obvious connection to high finance. Well, today, towards the end of his show, Beck noted the fascistic and communistic artwork commisioned by the Rockefeller family (arch-capitalists) in Rockefeller center, the NBC building, and elsewhere in NYC, and asked the question I've been waiting for someone with a mass audience to ask; who is really in favor of this new collectivism; who's driving it, a bunch of hippies and college professors? No, the ultra-rich 'capitalists' themselves!

This history only reinforces my basic conviction that there are but two truly opposed political ideologies; individualism and collectivism, and collectivism has always been (despite the hope of idealistic social democrats, anarcho-communists, etc.) a game played by and for the greatest powers that be.
