I grew up next to a University campus. My parents loved to learn. Our home was filled with books and people from diverse backgrounds.
One of my mother’s best friends had narrowly escaped the German concentration camps. Many in her family did not and died in the camps. I also met people who escaped Germany at the end of WWII to avoid prosecution or persecution as Nazis. I became curious about the practical details of how the Holocaust could have happened. An avid reader, I searched through book after book looking for explanations.
Implementing an operation that will offend or warn your potential victims – such as stealing all their money and assets, destroying their civil liberties or even killing them – involves some serious logistical challenges.

How do you kill the first 10%Â without everyone else getting wind of the danger and stopping or killing you? People are ornery. They get upset about real threats and will organize and act. If you have sufficient weaponry, you can go ahead and “just do it.” However, then everyone knows who and what you are which can be threatening to your authority and financial operations, let alone the profitability of continued killing.
When I became Assistant Secretary of Housing in 1989, I had the opportunity to learn a great deal about large bureaucracies. Fascinated by the logistics of getting complex operations implemented on such a large scale, I studied long hours with exceptional career staff eager to teach an appointee the details of implementing government laws, regulations, programs and other forms of credit and spending. Added to my years on Wall Street as well as starting and running various businesses, it helped me build an understanding of how things work in both government and business from a household or a community up to the Oval Office and through to the money and players behind the scenes.
As the corruption spread throughout our society in the 1990’s, I was forced by circumstance to use that knowledge to estimate how the operations of systemic physical and financial violence in our society work. How is so much financial fraud engineered? How was it millions of Americans went along with a housing and debt bubble that bankrupted us? What about the distribution of narcotics into every community in America in ways that are invisible to most people? How is $500 billion – $1 trillion of the proceeds of mortgage and financial fraud, drug sales and other illegal businesses laundered through the US financial system with rarely a peep from the network news?
Whether long ago in Germany or more recently in the drugging and bankrupting of America, I kept coming back to the importance of building proprietary or secret databases and information systems to support your operations, particularly if you need it to be invisible.
Such operations are quite expensive, which is part of the beauty of having governments pay private companies and banks to collect and maintain such data, which can then be secretly aggregated and applied. What looks like many different government agencies with diverse purposes, is really a few large defense contractors and banks building and maintaining vast databases that are easily aggregated in powerful ways.
In short, control, theft, slavery and/or murder on a large scale requires – at a minimum – a significant investment in invisible database and information systems.
To get a sense of the power and importance of good database management in implementing genocide, I strongly recommend Edwin Black’s IBM and the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance between Nazi Germany and America’s Most Powerful Corporation

When we touch on the holocaust we are talking about a tenant of the new world order. It is about the burning of a sacred number of jews, six million (same amount claimed in WWI). The Rabbis teach that jews blood is sacred blood, as sacred as the blood of god. This sacrifice makes the sacrifice of Jesus pale by comparision. The death of palestinians means nothing compared to the suffering of the jews.
The holocaust (and remember the mention of any other genocide demeans THE HOLOCAUST) is basically a politcally correct sacred myth. Its a religious article of faith of judeo-christians. Factual? That europeans and canadians cannot even question the holocaust without threat of and actual imprisonment of some has the smell of inquisition.
So when IBM is attacked as involved in some way with the third reich, I remember the New Testament warning to beware of jewish fables. The IBM story supports the holocaust story. Factual? For most people, what is factual is what accords with their beliefs. Most beliefs are tyrannies against the minds of men.
Catherine,
When I was in high school, each senior class was required to visit the Montana State Prison in Deerlodge. It made me acutely aware of the public responsibility for prisoners. I’ve always been opposed to private prisons and moving prisoners out of state because of logistics and the hardship on families. It separates the public responsibility for the treatment of prisoners from the local people. It encourages graft in the system when people are treated like a commodity and not humans. This article should be sent to every state and federal lawmaker. When our children are put at risk because they represent dollars to unscrupulous jail owners and judges, we have reached a negative number on the Popsicle Index.
Whree is the oversight? Statisically, these judges were sending two and a half times more children to jail than the average.
This article explains it better than anything I can say. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090211/ap_on_re_us/courthouse_kickbacks
I am posting the following here because it seems significant to the general goals of Solari. Some excerpts:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/2802861/Germans-get-by-without-the-euro.html
“There will soon be 65 regional currencies in operation alongside the EU’s, but the financial authorities are not worried yet, writes Ambrose Evans-Pritchard”…”The Chiemgauer is one of 16 regional currencies that have sprung into existence across Germany and Austria since the launch of the euro five years ago.”…”Another 49 regios are in the pipeline. They are outside the control of the political authorities, mostly run by activists, farmers, eco-enthusiasts, anti-globalists, and citizen committees.”…”the movement is a rejection of “capitalist globalism”, pushed by idealists fighting to save regional cultures. The currencies are “luxury” scrip that flourish most in areas with the lowest unemployment. They offer users a “prestige gain” in their neighbourhoods, and a glow of good feeling. School teacher Christian Gelleri launched the Chiemgauer, with the help of pupils, as an experiment in January 2003 at a rate of 1:1 against the euro.” (I suspect “luxury”, “prestige gain” and “glow of good feelings” are propaganda terms, or perhaps due to blinders, and that people are interested keeping the globalism monster at bay and organizing for the common good. Are pupils likey to start a system for luxury, prestige gain, or “glow of good feelings”? The article does, however, imply the importance of financial education.
I used to work for a small business that had about five IBM networked computers. When the time came for a hardware upgrade, the IBM installer was a man maybe in his early 50s who had worked for the company for a long time, maybe 15 years or longer.
I asked him about the whole Bill Gates got lucky that his first contract with IBM covered software but not Operating Systems, he had just this incredible look of HATE in his eyes. He said that IBM had no good reason to do what they did, that IBM JUST GAVE AWAY a soon-to-be billion dollar industry; it was THEIR SOFTWARE that they contracted out to vendor MS, that’s all.
I am a fan of Edwin Black(who also wrote a book on the Transfer Agreement and another called Internal Combustion about electric cars in early 20th century) , and own this book. IBM’s punch card technology helped keep track of the concentration camp prisoners.
In history books about WWII or the Holocaust, I have never found a good explanation of why “The Allies” did not bomb the train tracks going to Auschwitz. The standard explanation is that The Allies were focusing on winning the war which would eventually free the camp prisoners instead of a specific plan to free them…an explanation that does not make sense since the US had air raids VERY CLOSE (within a few miles) to the tracks. Freeing prisoners or limiting the number of prisoners was not a priority at all.
Just today, I listened to an mp3 interview of Nicholson Baker who just published a book called HUMAN SMOKE: THE BEGINNINGS OF WORLD WAR II, the End of Civilization. Baker provides the point of view of a pacificist, saying that the British air bombing of German cities (shock & awe?)instead of reducing the German’s morale did the exact opposite…which prolonged the war making no armistice possible sooner and allowing Hitler to stay in power since the population rallies around the leader during an emergency (like after 9/11 and Dubya’s popularity ratings). While Baker admires Churchill’s intelligence, he also considered him a madman.
Catherine said:”Whether long ago in Germany or more recently in the drugging and bankrupting of America, I kept coming back to the importance of building proprietary or secret databases and information systems to support your operations, particularly if you need it to be invisible.”
I read former IBM CEO (1993-2002) Lou Gerstner’s wikipedia entry a few months ago.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_V._Gerstner,_Jr.
Gerstner was credited more than anybody turning IBM around at a time when the company was struggling financially and PCs were a very niche market. Gerstner’s corporate ascent is quite illuminating: “He was formerly CEO of RJR Nabisco, and also held senior positions at American Express and McKinsey & Company…In January, 2003, he assumed the position of chairman of The Carlyle Group, a global private equity firm located in Washington, DC. He retired from that position in October 2008 and remains a senior advisor to The Carlyle Group..”
The winning bets for 1990s high-tech seem to heavily involve shifting electronic money around the world. And RJR Nabisco was sued by the European Union (i think) for laundering or embezzling activities via the underworld.

IBM must have more skeletons in its closet than JUST the Holocaust it seems.
