Collusion Found Between German Secret Service and Neo-Nazis.

Germany's secret service - Ver­fas­sungss­chutz (VS) - is at the center of a scandal involving a very well armed neo-Nazi terrorist cell operating in Germany since 2000. Last week, it was found that the Ver­fas­sungss­chutz destroyed files containing vital information on  the National Social­ist Underground (NSU), the day before it was supposed to be turned over to federal prosecutors.

The VS was built up after 1955 by Hubert Schrübbers, who had served the Nazi regime as a member of the SA storm troopers and as attorney general. According to Wikipedia, he filled a huge number of posts in the secret service with former members of the SS and its intelligence service, the SD.

 Heinz Fromm, head of the VS has resigned following an investigation initiated by the German judiciary on a series of unsolved murders dating from the period 2000-2010. During the investigations, the investigators have established a connection between the German Secret Service and the terrorist organization "clandestinity National Socialist" (NSU), a neo-Nazi terrorist cell accused of at least 10 murders.

The resignation of Fromm represent the latest chapter of an investigation started by magistrates last November. After careful analysis, the investigators concluded that the secret services were not only aware of the terrorist organization, but at the time of the opening of investigations have conveniently destroyed seven folders containing information provided by the militant neo-Nazi group, used as intelligence informants.

Fromm's resignation will not stop the work of the investigators intending to clarify the links between the NSU and intelligence agencies. Meanwhile, German politicians have spoken out in favor of the former intelligence chief, believed by the majority and the opposition "intact and unconnected with the facts on which the investigations are conducted."

This may be hard to believe, but according to a survey done by the Free University of Berlin, from a sample of 7,500 students over 15 years, 50% do not know who Adolf Hitler was, and, of those who do know, one-third believe he was a protector of human rights!

Operation Gladio was part of a post-World War II program set up by the CIA and NATO:

The Titanic Movie You Never Saw, Nazi Style.

Titanic was a 1943 Nazi propaganda film made during World War II in Berlin by Tobis Productions for UFA. The film used the sinking of the RMS Titanic as a setting for an attempt to discredit British and American capitalist dealings and glorify the bravery and selflessness of Germanic men. The film is known for its extremely dark production history and, ironically, became the symbol of the corruption and "sinking" of the Third Reich itself.

Cult icon Sybille Schmitz, who would achieve everlasting fame twenty-seven years after her death when R. W. Fassbinder adapted her unhappy life into his famous film Die Sehnsucht der Veronika Voss, has her most widely accessible role for today's audience in this film.

Frank Rich Nails it Again

[...]"Should Baghdad implode, our contractors, not having to answer to the military chain of command, can simply “drop their guns and go home.” Vulnerable American troops could be deserted by those “who deliver their bullets and beans.

This potential scenario is just one example of why it’s in our national self-interest to attend to Iraq policy the White House counts on us to ignore. Our national character is on the line too. The extralegal contractors are both a slap at the sovereignty of the self-governing Iraq we supposedly support and an insult to those in uniform receiving as little as one-sixth the pay. Yet it took mass death in Nisour Square to fix even our fleeting attention on this long-metastasizing cancer in our battle plan."[...]
