Another example of the values of american corporations, then and now. Lest none forget the aid given to Hitler by the Bush family who served as bankers for the Nazi Party, Nazis then and now. More of the same but the Repubs are proud of that and are doing the same thing now in America, to Americans and Iraqis for their oil. And so many everyday, ordinary good hearted Americans fought, got maimed and died in WWII to the benefit of IBM and the Bush family and Disney and so many other corporations just like so many are dying today for the oil companies, the Bush family, the Repub Party, Halliburton, the Cheney family, Bechtel etc. ad infinitum and ad nauseam. And do they ever stop, NEVER.

Information Before Murder?

The author states that IBM knew that the Germans were going to erase polish jews from the planet. But there is some missing information left in the void spaces. Such as when did "the final solution" come about? Was it being planned all along from the time of 1938 with progroms occuring in law? Does the author think there should be compensation? Does the author fill out a census form anyways?

My opinion is that there were plenty of zionist that wanted jews to move to palestine to form Israel and that WWII would be the best way to accomplish those goals. The US and Britain propped up Nazi Germany more than IBM. Just as they propped up the USSR in the 20's.

Germany is still occupied for what reason? And it looks as if most of Hitler's goals came to fruition.

As other posters have written, this is literally history. A more relevant, yet similar article might list all Israeli companies in the US/Isreali connected to the arms industry. Also, corporations like Haliburton are household names, a little investigative journalism might reveal tem=ns of other American companies doing the same. Get the lists out. Start the boycotts!

Better yet, an article with company names and the names of all the executive officers, their addresses, wives and children's names to boot.

GNN's connections to USIA, CIA and IDF

although i do find IBM's collusion with hitler interesting and deserving of investigation, i think anthony lappes previous work as a USIA agent in Palestine, stephen marshall's more than likely employment for the CIA in Nigeria (well, actually Ghana), and Ian Inaba's connections to Gil Shwed, who has worked (and probably still does) for unit 8200 (special intelligence unit) of the Isreali Defence Forces merit investigation as well.

GNN's links to these organizations should be investigated along with stephen marshall's family connections to big oil (aluma corp, etc.) and heavy environmental polluters, and may prove key in understanding why GNN has launched personal attacks against george galloway, al gore and the film an inconvenient truth, and tried to convince people not to show up for the sept 24th 2005 march on washington.

these guys are connected to big money and have recieved funding from the 'Cara' family (canadian fast food and penetentary and airline slop giants), ford foundation, etc., and I believe are a false provocateur.

Do some research before accepting these guys as legit...
