"'Strength through Joy'"
What caught my attention!
(snip)
Robert S. McNamara was born on 9 June, 1916 in San Francisco, California. He graduated from the University of California Berkeley in 1937 with a Bachelor's degree in Economics and Philosophy. McNamara went on to earn a Master's degree in 1939 from the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration. After a short teaching career at Harvard starting in 1940, McNamara joined the Army Air Force in 1943 and served until 1946. After leaving the military, he was hired by the Ford Motor Company to work with statistical control experts. In 1960, after rapid promotion through the company, he became its president.
On 21 January 1961, Robert McNamara's political career began when President John F. Kennedy appointed him as Secretary of Defense. McNamara made a more significant contribution to the area of nuclear weapons strategy than that of his predecessors. In 1962, he urged a "no cities" policy in nuclear retaliation strategy. McNamara argued that the "principal military objectives, in the event of a nuclear war stemming from a major attack on the Alliance, should be the destruction of the enemy's military forces, not of his civilian population."

1971 -
The day after Tricia Nixon's wedding the Washington Post and the New York Times began printing THE PENTAGON PAPERS. They were leaked by dissenting intelligence specialist Daniel Ellsberg. Ellsberg was on the staff of defence secretary Robert MacNamara when McNamara ordered a fact paper drawn up explaining step by step just how the U.S. managed to get in as big a mess as Vietnam. The papers revealed publically such damaging secrets as the U.S. had been fighting alongside the SouthVietnamese much earlier than the "Tonkin Gulf Incident" of 1965 while saying we were neutral. That the ship that was fired on in the incident (the U.S.S. Maddox) was ordered to violate Vietnamese waters and hopefully provoke a communist attack, and that the opinion of the Pentagon Joint Chiefs was that we knew we couldn't win as early as 1968, yet we stayed in anyway until 1973. McNamara said recently he himself never got around to reading the Pentagon Papers but had a copy in his garage.
So what became of McNamara?

So not only was MacNamara HEAD of the World Bank, It is CO-CHAIRED by SOROS?????
(snip) 4 A May 22, 2001 meeting at World Bank co-chaired by James D. Wolfensohn and George Soros, brought together approximately 50 representatives from foundations, government agencies, and corporations that pledged contributions or matching funds (for a detailed description see "Investment with a High Return: Supporting Economics Education and Research in Transition Countries.

Just another reason why lawyers should be 'purged' from society.
I hope you can follow my logic on this one.

"'Strength through Joy'"
The Ford Charity Foundation, is a major communist supporter.
There is quite a bit of info out there, showing that
Mr. Ford was connected to the Nazi's and to Communism.
When you shake the commie bush, out falls Soros. He must be super human, to have touched so much evilness in one lifetime.
Henry Ford's Nazi collaboration is pretty well-documented, as is James Mooney's at GM (see authors James Pool and Charles Higham on this). This was before McNamara got involved with Ford, though, and by the time McNamara came along there had been some changes at Ford. When Henry Ford was alive he restricted the Ford Foundation's use to preserving the family fortune, and he wasn't willing to sell stock publicly due to his anti-Semitic views and conspiracy theories about Wall Street. After he died his grandson Henry II, whose political views were further left, put Ford stock up for public sale and started donating to charities, many of which were left-wing, under the direction of one Rowan Gaither (who later chaired a committee which promoted nuclear disarmament policies that meshed with Soviet foreign policy). This prompted a Congressional investigation in the 1950s, the Cox and Reece Committees:
Due to pressure from the Cox/Reese investigation, Ford temporarily backed off a bit on left-wing contributions, but meanwhile (under the influence of John McCloy, who had joined the board and would later support Gaither's committee) opposed CIA requests to use Ford funding for Agency anti-Communist operations. In the 1960s after the antiwar movement gained popularity, Ford again took a sharp left turn and began contributing to various far-left causes.
Getting back to McNamara, after he had risen in prominence at Ford, he came to the attention of JFK's transition team, and was recommended to the administration largely on the strength of references from Robert Lovett, McCloy's ally from the FDR War Department. McNamara proceeded to alienate the military establishment by ignoring the Eisenhower-era Joint Chiefs' advice in favor of his own statistical theories, heavily influenced by advisors from RAND such as Ellsberg and others (see Out of the Blue Yonder: How RAND Diversified into Social Welfare Research). McNamara doled out a lot of DoD research to RAND consultants, which IMO was the source of a lot of problems in the DoD during the Vietnam War.
On McNamara and the World Bank, one of his predecessors in that position was John McCloy, who was also the Rockefellers' lawyer representing the interests of Standard Oil and Chase-Manhattan. McNamara instituted fiscal policies which were significantly more socialistic than McCloy's had been--as McCloy's biographer Kai Bird notes, "The World Bank of the 1970s, '80s and '90s more closely resembles Harry Dexter White's vision of a global New Deal agency than the conservative institution McCloy administered." (White, incidentally, was a Soviet agent.)
How Soros' links to the World Bank relate to the above I don't know--haven't gotten that far in my research. But I will mention Soros' investment group handles financing for the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), which did some questionable financial dealing with the Russian mob under Clinton.
Finally, in recent years, McNamara's name has appeared in connection with think tanks and other projects linked to many of Bush's leading foreign policy critics and Michael Moore types. For instance see:
What's next, the Norden Bombsight?
Thanks. BTTT.
It's over - let it go. The people who were running these companies during WWII aren't there any more. They probably aren't even alive.
