The Men Who Built America

hahahahahahahahaha!!! no, they were a cartel and consisted of Bayer, BASF, Hoechst and more. you clearly have never read the nuremberg war tribunals against IG Farben, not sure why you're pretending to be accurate. good to know that it takes you 2 attempts to spell a word with 5 letters.

"Their purpose was to turn the German nation into a military machine so it could impose her dominion on Europe, and later, on other nations beyond the seas. They were the warp and woof of the dark mantle of death that settled over Europe."

-Telford Taylor, US-Chief Prosecutor, in his opening statement in the trial against IG Farben

you know best though lollllllllll.
 
We can play word games all night conglomerate is more accurate. They obviously wanted the country to do well because they had investments in it. But to say they caused Germany to attack is wrong. This is the same court that executed the scientist who invented the pesticide known as zyklon b which the us itself used before the war to kill disease carry bugs on trains . To say this court was out for blood is not an extravagance.
 
i actually agree with roor here.

i think the nuremberg trials were a sham and made a mockery of the law

w/ ex-postfacto etc etc

and what's the point of having a trial

if you know what the verdict is going to be beforehand

it's not like the allies were gonna let the nazi's walk free (lmao)

doesn't mean i'm apologizing for nazi crimes

the soviets dealt with it much better
 
"It was a documentary on The History Channel, about Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, JP Morgan, and the business men after the Civil War. It was a great history lesson on business, entrepreneurs, and the risk associated with business. If you want to see it, it is on history.com"

Not so much about politics, mate. You fuckers turned it into one.
 
you're missing the point. the sentences didn't matter at all since all 24 convicted were released and went to america. the whole point is the evidence still stands against farben.
 
I'm going to say they wanted headlines saying they charged everyone who was involved in zyklon b. Since the trials were equivocal to a kangaroo court the sentences would have never held up any appeals
 
The unions were lucky to only come out with nine dead those pinkertons were the best mercenaries in the world at the time. Like the black water of today
 
The us has never had a large standing army untill the later half of the half of the century. I think even the army the stoped it was a militia
 
don't act like you don't know what $ is and don't know who rockefeller is lol. $$$$ the same reason that it took 60 years to publish the trial and evidence records of nuremberg against farben and why these national archives of important historic events still do not publish them. corporate interests, profit over life. i'm starting to think you are not familiar with herbert wagner and paperclip? you should know what i mean when i say "evidence still stands".................there are over 10 thousand pages from nuremberg of evidence linking farben to crimes against humanity.

you can continue to say that farben didn't know the gas would be for people but thats bs because they made chlorine gas in ww1 and used it on french and canadians.
 
Lol there was a lot of shit declassified 60 years later including new dog fighting footage. According to your logic these pilots used millions of dollars to cover up how ruthless they were.  I'm sure now that that the trials are delcassified I'm sure there somewhere in the national archives and they are more avalable on the Internet. You keep spouting off about paper clip. Listen under the superior orders  they would have been deemed not guilty. We have gained so much from these scientists NASA ect that letting them die or rott would have been the equivalent of the burning of th library of Alexandria or the inquisition against science.  The only reason why ig was brought to trial was because since all german men 16-45 were off  fighting they had to usedslave labor. Virtually every company including porshe vw used slave labor. Ig  bought into the company before the rise of hitler and nazi supremacy so how could they have known there were going to be death camps and have their pesticide with such little amount of cynide that it took 30 minutes to kill used. The producer of chlorine gas you are referring to Bayer ig bought after ww1 in 1925.  During the 1925 - 1930 Germany had the weakest army and weakest economy in europe. when ig bought these companies it was inconceivable that there would be another war and Germany would conquer most of Europe.

dude marshall plan was all about business

why do you think american bussinesses wanted usa to extend huge loans/financial releif to western europe?

us businesses needed strong european market to buy overproduction from world war 2

etc etc
 
it wasn't completely about business.......you can't deny it helped improve european economies, especially with all the debts. why did western europe want financial relief, right? but that's not even comparable to paperclip.
 
what the fuck are you babbling about??? so there are over 10 thousands pages of evidence against farben just for slave labour? i don't even see how that's possible, think of the size of the room that 10 thousand pages would fit in. seriously, unless you plan on reading any of the nuremberg records on farben, just stop telling lies now......

this is why you just don't know what you're talking about lol since you've never taken the time to read them. you're waaaaaaaay off by talking about gaining lots from the scientists.......i never even mentioned the scientists. all 24 convicted were executives and big managers of farben, not exclusively scientists.

sounds like you have everything figured out, but i'm going to trust the evidence records from the trials over some indoctrinated kid on a forum who hasn't read a single one.

btw i never said they were declassified. i said published because all these national archives of important history still do not publish them.
 
I bet you two just wait for this. Probably going through the day thinking "Oh shit, I can't wait to get home to argue with Jl8/Roor". There's no other reason to have 4 pages of that much arguing, other than enjoyment.

Such a buzzkill when I open this thread and see it's the same as it was yesterday.
 
how was it not all about business?

keeping the soviets out of western europe was "good business" for usa companies

ofc it improved economy for europe

that doesnt mean us didnt have business interests in mind
 
Na I was having dinner at the most expensive yacht club in marblehead. I'm still drunk you ant killing my buzz u mad bro? To jo8 they had more then 10000 slave Labors working for them I hope they had a page each
 
I ant got spell check on my iPhone. Fuck I better start snorting some lines before Goldman bro or theyll make me od. I went drinking with one of their clients it's amazing how drunk you can get when you have no bugget.
 
duh, that doesn't mean it was all about business........

i just don't see how someone can compare something that from your view could be considered an investment with something like paperclip.
 
the marshall plan was essentially an "investment" in western european anti-communism. communist movements in western europe were crushed and marginalized.

it was even worse in greece where the brits sided with the fascists and put the communist partisan heroes of the second world war in concentration camps.
