Holocaust Engineers IBM Set To Win Britain's First Police Privatisation

Tony Gosling | 01.02.2008 01:24 | Analysis | Anti-racism

IBMs Hollerith machines were used in 1930s Nazi Germany. Used to identify and single out Jews and other 'sub-standard' Unless we understand how the Nazis aquited the names more lists will be compiled against more people.

IBM are about to win Britain't first police privatisation bid, it seems at Avon and Somerset police here in Bristol.

Do copy and save this link - controversial stories like this regularly disappear off the Bristol Evening Post website.

Have a listen to Edwin Black

Apologies readers but I have been forbidden to post the article itself by UK IMC moderator 'freethepeeps'


IBM and the Holocaust takes you through the carefully crafted corporate collusion with the Third Reich, as well as the structured deniability of oral agreements, undated letters, and the Geneva intermediaries -- all undertaken as the newspapers blazed with accounts of persecution and destruction.
Just as compelling is the human drama of one of our century's greatest minds, IBM founder Thomas Watson, who cooperated with the Nazis for the sake of profit.
Only with IBM's technologic assistance was Hitler able to achieve the staggering numbers of the Holocaust. Edwin Black has now uncovered one of the last great mysteries of Germany's war against the Jews -- how did Hitler get the names?

Well conspiracy nutters are like whippets after rabbits, one sniff and they are off into indefatigable monomania.

I would hardly describe providing a filing system to the Nazis as being an "engineer" of the holocaust, even if they did do it and with full knowledge it's pretty fucking sick profiteering for sure. But "engineering" sounds like they responsible for the design of the holocaust rather than providing tools.

But at any rate, since the case against IBM was dismissed it should read at best "alleged holocaust engineers". People might see you in a whole new credible light if you stop wallpapering over gaps.

What is so wrong with "Alleged dehumanised holocaust profiteers"? It's dramatic enough for me.

What's more it's misleading. Like those letters emblazoned with "You have won a prize!" and then you discover that you have won bugger all.

conspiracy nutter?

who is the nutter here. Do you think we should turn the other cheek when a company that actively and enthusiastically cooperated with Nazi genocide takes over your local police force.

I think only the naive would ignore it.

Well, I don't believe that Britain is being run by occultists. If that answers your question.

Sounds fine to me

Well if we can trust Bayer, who's participation in Nazi crimes is well documented, with growing our GM food
then IBM would appear to be the perfect choice to run the Police force.
Bayer were the nazis in person and there are plenty of todays leading companies and banks, who made a fortune out of re arming and supply Nazi Germany with all it's needs.
It's good to see the old conspiraloonies are also posting on articles that a 10 year old could research and
find valid. It would appear that anyone who knows anything about history is a Conspiracy Theorist, by default.

So the country is not run by people that are into the Occult, which means in Latin, hidden or that is hidden,
Here's a clip from a film I took of the Royal exchange building Hermes, Mercury, or Thoth as you please, is
well featured and one of his possee is holding the magic square of Jupiter, you can make 34 out of it in just
about anyway you like. I first saw this Square in a painting called Melencolia by Albrecht Durer.
It is said to have been made by Cornelius Agrippa. I'll give you a clue it has to do with "bugs bunny in the sky rocket" their sky rockets !!

And of course conspiracy nutters try to be as slippery as eels.

No there is nothing wrong with reporting corporate participation in mass murder. There is a lot wrong with reporting it inaccurately. And describing IBM as engineers of the holocaust it overplaying the hand. Like I said, what was wrong with publishing the facts: they were Holocaust profiteers?

Adding a spin to things makes believe mistrust the whole story.

The Latin derivation has no automatic bearing on the meaning of a word that has long been is use as English.

If you are going to spout supernatural beliefs in 21st Britain, you are going to get laughed at.

Thankfully.

I wonder if never ending roadworks and temporary traffic lights that malfunction are all part of my local MP's Satanic ritual? I'm sure a good numerologist would be able to tell me.

The Council Tax hike is pretty evil for sure but I'm sure they are too busy taking backhanders, siphoning funds and spinning problems with the local NHS Trust to have time for the Devil.

In fact the Devil would probably count his fingers if he shook hands with them. But I expect the Devil probably moved to another county long ago- got sick of waiting for his hip replacement.
