The enclosed link at the bottom of the article is a story of France returning works of art to Jewish families 70 years after the Holocaust. The article makes one ponder.How could a party such as the Nazi's with Adolph Hitler at the helm come from a fringe political party to the ruling party of Germany? How could the same disturbed individuals gain allies and ignited a lightning war across Europe to almost capturing world dominance along with their main ally Japan? How did such a group of collaborators able to become a mass movement in their Anti-Semitic feelings and express the desire to rid Europe of every Jew? The answer is complex, but the simple common denominator is the economic uncertainty of the years after The Great Depression began with the October 1929 stock market crash left the world in chaos and close to collapse. Peace and security made people forgo the realities of the monsters who were coming into power. World War II and The Holocaust are stains on our history … [Read more...]

America’s past challenges: Fortune Favors the Bold
The following column was written in 2011 before the July 4th holiday. The words of politicians, the despair of economic crisis, the compromise of of values for peace and safety. Our crisis is a different era and time, but the promises of words of history's past caused a second world war and the edge of a dark new era. ********************* As Independence Day is near, America’s is celebrating 235th year of independence as the first representative government to be formed in human history. In the midst of tyranny and human imperfections, a diverse group of individuals did set aside their differences and ideology for the pursuit of freedom. The Puritans came to this new world for the pursuit of religious freedom, and that spirit transcended in the formation of this new world. A group of individuals did not hold to ideology or individual differences as obstacles to meet a common goal of seeking the opportunity of freedom in seeking independence and formation of a … [Read more...]
Watching Hitler: If you tell a big enough lie…
"If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.” ― Adolf Hitler The run up to World War II saw the cunning and deviant Adolph Hitler employ the tactics of lying in lieu of the truth. Even though history is hindsight, the economic devastation of The Great Depression and the tragedy in human loss in post World War i did instill a period of appeasement and acceptance unlike the world has ever known. The rise of Hitler is not isolated to the past century, but a collapse of our current modern economic system will make the modern man listen to ideology outside the norms of society. When comfort and peace are taking away. The humanity in our souls become fluid in our morals and beliefs... In the event of collapse, the rise of a leader making statements of lies as the truth....Would we as society accept such a leader if they promise peace and security. Any leader using lies to obtain power does not have peace and security as a part of their … [Read more...]

Watching Hitler: How it can go so wrong?
Economics in the modern world play a role in the paradigm shifts of political beliefs and tolerance as a globe and as a people. Everything was a dribble of reality in the rise of Adolph Hitler. It was a little exposure at a time to the reality of the regime under Hitler. Hitler used the Spanish Civil War in 1936 to test his aggressive policies as detailed in Mien Kampf. Germany was host of the 1936 olympics, and the display to the world was successful of economically strong and full restoration of the New Germany. Hitler put his best foot forward for the world, but showing his true intent in the destruction against the civil population in the Spanish Civil War. We all know the rest of the horror of the following years under the Hitler regime. Do we as a people become so weak in our modern time that anyone promising peace and security is accepted so easily? Germany did with Hitler. In lieu of collapse, would we as a people submit to such a leader again? For humanity's sake, I hope … [Read more...]
Greece Crisis is America’s (2010)
EXAMINER: GREECE CRISIS Posted by donnywise | Posted in Consumer and Banking Analysis | Posted on 01-05-2010 The downgrade on Spain by Standard & Poors did spark immediacy into a reluctant Chancellor Merkel in being proactive on behalf of Germany and the European Union (EU) to engage the International Money Fund (IMF) in joint negotiations to develop a three-year financing plan of around $130 billion euros or $170 billion dollars to ease the fiscal crisis of Greece. The decisive measures are easing concerns on the imminent default by Greece. The negotiations are with many obstacles to derail the process as Chancellor Merkel is taking steps that are very unpopular in Germany to bailout a country that has been dishonest in reporting figures and statistics to gorge on debt until this crisis point. In addition, the austerity measures in the massive cuts in the budgetary expenses of Greece must be agreed under the IMF and EU stabilization plan. The citizens of Greece are … [Read more...]
Whose Cup of Tea? Republicans flat on financial fixes under guise of Grover Norquist
Consumer's must make the restoration of a healthy financial system a top priority in the 2012 election. The consumer access to a healthy financial system empowers personal responsibility and innovation in society. The consumer's restoration of health in the financial system is the foundation the post WWII economy was built upon. This restoration is beyond any one party or ideology. This restoration is American. In review of the Republican party, the party of less taxes and less government has a fly in the ointment of core principles and beliefs. The fly in the The Republican Party's ointment is a man named Grover Norquist. Any restoration to the financial system falls flat on the side of the Republican Party under one lobbyist and his firm Americans for Tax Reform. The Taxpayers Protection Pledge is signed by 95% of all Republican Congressman and all but one 2012 Republican presidential candidates. The pledge opposes all taxes increases or any reduction or elimination of … [Read more...]
Britain stands at forefront in a potential Eurozone collapse
Britain scrambles as the debt crisis worsens in Europe. Britain is one of ten countries that does not use the Euro for monetary currency exchange, but the demise of the Euro would have insurmountable impacts on Britain and the Island Kingdom. Britain’s fortunes are not easily decoupled from mainland Europe. History has seen aggressors of rival powers being the insurmountable threat, but this modern-day threat is economic as the collapse of the Euro would bring a harsh backlash to Britain. A debt contagion crisis to cripple government finances, 40% of British trade is with the Eurozone region, Foreign offices being overran by British citizens with no money and involved in civil disturbances, and a domestic banking system exposure in lieu of a European collapse. The unthinkable has become the thinkable in a potential total collapse of the Euro with global ramifications unimaginable as bank failures and civil unrest will be unprecedented in the history of humanity. Britain has … [Read more...]
