How have Nazis risen to positions of power after World War II?

[Goathead]

Ratzinger is only the latest and probably the last, considering that those that were involved with the Third Reich are getting up there in age. Kurt Waldheim was U.N. Secretary-General from 1972 to 1981, he was an officer in the SA-Reitercorps a Nazi paramilitary organization. Werner Von Braun was a German rocket scientist and member of the S.S., after WWII he entered the United States and headed the United States' space program. So how has this happened? These men were part of an apparatus that was bent on global domination and they came very close to achieving that goal. My guess is that fascism represents at least one thing to the United States, it is anti-communist. Think about all the dictatorships that the U.S. has installed they too had at least one thing in common they were also anti-communist regimes. The fact of the matter is that capitalists and plutocrats have one fear, communism, and they will exploit any means to destroy that perceived threat, even if that means allowing their former enemies to attain positions of power.

8. There is a very strong unnatural breed of anti-socialism.

Anti-socialism and anti-communism exist very strongly in the United States, more so than any nation. This becomes fascism. This is why the de-nazification program failed.

They did not want to tell you that the de-nazification program failed, because they felt it was a non issue. This key piece of history of course, is now blowing up.

Many parties, and especially dominionists believe irrefutably that there are communists in this country who call themselves patriots.

9. The thing about the Nazis is that they exist within

a Secret Society clique.

Hitler's armies were destroyed, but the people who created Hitler's armies are still with us -- from those within the pharmaceutical industry, to those who call the shots from within the military industrial complex, to those who seek leadership roles in the Vatican.

Nothing has changed for these people.

10. Because a lot of people have short memories.

And a lot of powerful people had an interest in exploiting their special talents.
