IG Farben:

Recall, IG Farben was part of the Nazi-cartel that emerged in the mid-1920s as American capital flowed into German corporations under the Dawes Plan. This enabled them to fund Hitler’s political campaigns. Between 1927 and 1939, the company’s operations doubled in size. Hugely profitable agreements were made with American firms such as Standard Oil, DuPont, Alcoa and Dow Chemical.

Farben was ultimately seized by Allied Forces and eventually broken up into separate chemical companies: Bayer (Monsanto), Hoechst and BASF. Today, these companies are some of the biggest chemical, pharmaceutical and GMO food companies in the world.

In typical Prussian style, IG Farben never retreated; it just rebranded.

    The electronic currency gives the government complete control over accumulation and spending of wealth

    The first meme reminded me of something i saw recently, just passing along, without comment, one man’s prediction made in July 1920.

    “As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
    ― H.L. Mencken, On Politics: A Carnival of Buncombe

    H.L. Mencken (September 12, 1880 - January 29, 1956)

    Not really. There are zoning restrictions, licenses for most all trades and professions from plumbers to physicians, hair dressers etc. And not to mention the tax forms and sales tax licenses. Today the government restrictions are driving the economy to a "cash is king" platform. And one wonders why the push to an electronic currency?

    Nazi germany under hitler was fascist, just like our government is here. Remember you cant open a business without getting government licenses and approvals. You can put your own money at risk, but are only allowed to run the business the way our government permits.

    I didn't even know about his German connections or I would have really been angry! Ignorance is bliss but I thank you for this Post. N

    I'm really have trouble with my fingers, hands, and computer this a.m. My comment is that Big George lost my support when he was so interested in the One World Government thing and it occurred to me he wanted to be President of the World! N

    Nicely composed drive-by wake up to history. There are parallels today with big business going woke and jumping into bed with the Neo Communists. Same rot, different global location.

    Looking forward to Q uick History #2.
