All corporations that were around during Hitler’s reign were acting in collusion with the Nazis. They had no choice or they would be sold off to somebody who would cooperate.

Hollywood in the 1930s was in bed with Hitler.

I'll gladly accept a Rolex from anyone who would like to turn it in due to its checkered history. If you have one that loses time, I'll just take it to "Jimmy Sherman Watch Repairs" at 85th and Columbus. Uncle Leo told me about him.

I got a knock off Rolex from Bob Saccamano. It's misspelled as Timex but the difference is negligible.

America corporatism was in bed. JFK Sr, as well if memory serves.

It may have been one of the sources of his great wealth.

That was a very very long time ago.

As the supply of Nazis goes to zero, the demand from the blob has never been stronger.

So you are saying Joseph Kennedy got the Nazis to kill (or try to kill) his own sons?

Shultz lost his toy company and wound up as a guard at Stalag 13.

No. He used them to get great wealth si he could buy influence to get his sos into power. The murder of JFK and RFK ate separate issues.

JFK Sr. was a rum runner during prohibition. That’s where the Kennedy money began.

Im sure that was one of sources. Do you think he would be honest about all his sources of income?

Do you think that, when after the war, the US took useful Nazis to start the CIA and NASA and half the European leadership were former Nazis and entire US corporate structure was supportive of the Nazis that they wouldnt try to influence US politics and some people might be willing to be bought?

It is also documented.

You are way off base. RFK was in the U.S. Naval Reserve for a while, but was never close to combat. Not sure where you heard that.

Joseph Kennedy Jr. died in WWII, and his body never recovered. Now, he was on a mission, but supposedly the Germans didn't actually cause his death, but who knows.

JFK was almost killed by the Japanese, and saved other service member's lives.

Joseph Kennedy actually used his influence to get his sons into combat, not out of. JFK, in particular had health issues that would have nixed his chance. And also, he went back into the field after he partially recovered from his injuries.

But I have never heard anyone suggest Joseph Kennedy got the Germans and Japanese to kill his son.

You think the entire U.S. has been controlled by Nazis since 1945.

I dont know where you got the idea that I said Joselh Kennedy, a documented Nazi sympathizer, got the Nazis to kill his son’s, when I only suggested that he was willing to be a sympathizer for money.
