I've had enough of someone else's propaganda. I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against. I'm a human being first and foremost, and as such I am for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.
Perhaps some people may understand now why the Zionists have said long ago: constant remembrance of the holocaust is necessary in order to bring...

Also of interest in the book is the size of the rockets required, but one could argue Von Braun didn't know what he was talking about
Psalm 19.1, “the heavens declare the glory of God,” and “the firmament showeth his handywork” (Von Braun's gravestone)
Even his wife and kids are a fabrication. Kinda like the first moon landing.
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Nazi’s (part of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce) took away LBJ’s license to kill.
One of the most interesting things Von Braun said according to Carol Rosin
My name is Carol Rosin. I am an educator who became the first woman corporate manager of an Aerospace Company, Fairchild Industries. I am a Space and Missile Defense Consultant and have consulted to a number of companies, organizations, and government departments, even the intelligence community. I was a consultant to TRW working on the MX missile, so I was part of that strategy, which turned out to be a role model for how to sell space-based weapons to the public. The MX missile is yet another weapon system that we didn’t need.
I founded the Institute for Security and Cooperation in Outer Space, a Washington DC based think tank. I am an author and have testified before Congress and the President’s Commission on Space. When I was a Corporate Manager of Fairchild Industries from 1974 through 1977, I met the late Dr. Wernher Von Braun. We first met in early 1974. At that time, Von Braun was dying of cancer but he assured me that he would live a few more years to tell me about the game that was being played- that game being the effort to weaponize space, to control the Earth from space and space itself. Von Braun had a history of working with weapons systems. He had escaped from Germany to come to this country and had become a Vice President of Fairchild Industries when I met him. Von Braun’s purpose during the last years of his life, his dying years, was to educate the public and decision-makers about why space-based weapons are dumb, dangerous, destabilizing, too costly, unnecessary, unworkable, and an undesirable idea , and about the alternatives that are available. As practically a deathbed speech, he educated me about those concepts and who the players were in this game. He gave me the responsibility, since he was dying, of continuing this effort to prevent the weaponization of outer space. When Wernher Von Braun was dying of cancer, he asked me to be his spokesperson, to appear on occasions when he was too ill to speak. And so, I did this.
What was most interesting to me was a repetitive sentence that he said to me over and over again during the approximately four years that I had the opportunity to work with him. He said the strategy that was being used to educate the public and decision makers was to use scare tactics … That was how we identify an enemy .
The strategy that Wernher Von Braun taught me was that first the Russians are going to be considered to be the enemy. In fact, in 1974, they were the enemy, the identified enemy. We were told that they Russians had “killer satellites.” We were told that they were “coming to get us” and control us – that they were “Commies.”
Then, after the Russian threat passed (with the “fall of Communism”), terrorists would be identified as the next threat, and that was soon to follow. Throughout the media for the next decade, we heard a lot about terrorism. Then we were going to identify third-world country “crazies.” We now call them Nations of Concern. But he said that would be the third enemy against whom we would build space-based weapons.
The next enemy was asteroids. Now, at this point he kind of chuckled the first time he said it. Asteroids- against asteroids we are going to build space-based weapons. And the funniest one of all was what he called aliens, extraterrestrials. That would be the final scare. And over and over and over during the four years that I knew him and was giving speeches for him, he would bring up that last card. “And remember Carol, the last card is the alien card. We are going to have to build space-based weapons against aliens and all of it is a lie.”
Since WWII, there has always had to be a straw man to be demonized as the "enemy" and to fight or to endlessly and expensively prepare to fight. That is how the US intelligence agencies and the military power brokers and their pawns and yes-men in Congress keep the funds flowing from the US Treasury. If there is no perceived "enemy," no "threat," then there are no funds. With continued "sky is falling" shouts and warnings from the recipients of the Treasury money, shamefully aided by the corporate-controlled media, a steady stream of taxpayer gold flows to the intel agencies, the military bigwigs, and the defense contractors. A few crumbs from this financial banquet table get kicked back to "tame" Congresscriminals as "campaign funds."

Not to be confused with Leon Vitale, Stanley Kubrick's assistant...[Link]

It's not a name we have over here much.
Philip K. Dick’s “The Man in the High Castle” When I look at America now, I see what Philip K. Dick saw. If America won WWII, why do Nazi’s and Fascist’s control America?
A bifurcation in time would be lot simpler to fix than what did happen in America.
I'd guess that 'Leon' might be a common Hispanic name, but we just had pretty much white folks and black folks and it wasn't until I was 19 that I learned that I should have known that a friend I grew up with (last name like Hernandez or Fernandez) was Hispanic. He got attacked for being white, too. (I know that I never met any Polish 'Leon Kowalskis" (the replicant's name) though. )

Ps, SM, High Castle: I've never read it. I believe that Kafka had a title akin to that (which I've also never read). (Yep. I see Kafka had a work called 'The Castle.') Do you believe that PKD was paying homage to K there?

Such people should be careful what they think.
.. and, from the film Léon: The Professional (French: Léon), titled Leon in the UK and Australia (and originally titled The Professional in the US)
Amazon produced The Man in the High Castle, it was a 4 season series, pretty good
Such people should be careful what they think.
It was a design for a nuclear explosive, not a bomb. There is a difference.
America didn't win, Fascism did; it simply transferred its HQ (temporarily) to America. For most of the world, there appears little difference between Nazi Germany and Free America. I think it's likely that's because there is little difference.
