RE: [A-List] US Imperialism: The Special Relationship

["Craven, Jim" <jcraven@xxxxxxxxx>]

Though I find your opinion of "all conservatives" of consuming interest, I
did ask for a source linking American Firsters such as Albert Jay Nock,
Frank Chodorov, John T. Flynn, Rose Wilder Lane, etc. to a plot to overthrow
FDR in cahoots with Bush/Walker/Morgan (men consistently villified in their
writings), and in regard to the assertion above,  I would be interested in
knowing of any solid sourcing regarding their financial contributions to
Hitler and Mussolini you allege.

Thanks for your response,

Hi Anne,

For further references as to the financing of Hitler from 1924 (Bush,
Walker, J.P. Morgan, Irenee Du Pont, GM, Henry Ford et al) see the
following: "The Sovereign State of ITT" by Anthony Sampson; "Blowback" and
"The Splendid Blonde Beast" by Christopher Simpson, "The Secret War Against
the Jews" by John Loftus, go to www.John-Loftus.com (for info on the Bushes
trading in nazi securities AFTER Pearl Harbor and profiting off of Auschwitz
slave labor--be sure to check out Loftus' credentials; see archives or
current work at website).

That should do for openers. As for your comments above, I was not aware of
your conservative bent although some of the discussion on money is some of
the typical libertarian and old-time populist stuff, but I guess I'll just
add the quote from John Stuart Mill on Conservatism: "Although NOT ALL
conservatives are stupid, mean and selfish, MOST stupid, mean and selfish
people are conservative." I think that is quite accurate as conservatism
(certainly not monolithic) puts a premium on bumper-sticker and
simple-minded slogans for complex realities and also appeals to narrow
prejudices, cognitive dissonance problems, lack of intellectual curiosity
and rigor, and basic ignorance to create broad social bases out of narrow,
single-issue, reactive/reactionary constituencies.

But I have to add that it is not only conservatives who pander to popular
prejudices, low intelligence, selfishness, narcissism, basic bigotries and
privileges; a lot of that goes on on the nominal left as well with
meaningless bumper stickers, reflexive/myopic "single-issueism", narrow
agenda/issues etc.
