Nazism is a form of imperialism. In my decades-long study of billionaires and of imperialism, I’ve never yet come across a billionaire anywhere who has been anti-imperialist. Some are conservative, and some are liberal, but all of them have been pro-imperialist. Britain’s Guardian newspaper, which used to be progressive (something that no billionaire actually is), got taken over (such as is shown in this), around a decade ago, by liberal billionaires — by Democratic Party U.S. billionaires, and by Labour Party UK billionaires — and it even goes so far as to publish (as being a propaganda-asset of the liberal billionaires who now control it) on 6 July 2018, an article about the world’s most famous imperialist, the American billionaire George Soros, alleging him to advocate that the “American empire, and the alienations of contemporary capitalism would be things of the past.” What a bad joke that is. The major difference between German imperialism of the 1930s (Nazism) and American imperialism after WW II, has been that the latter displays vastly more sophisticated propaganda-techniques, and is consequently far more hypocritical, not nearly so bold and forthright in the propaganda for its many aggressions (‘for democracy and human rights’) as Hitler’s Nazi Party (which openly despised both) was. Before this takeover by billionaires occurred, that newspaper published on 28 March 2007 an importantly informative and honest op-ed by Bruni de la Motte, “East Germany did face up to its Nazi past: The west’s demonisation of communism has led to a distortion of history”, which would hardly be publishable anywhere in the U.S.-and-allied sphere today. It pointed out that West Germany (the part of Germany that the U.S. had controlled during 1945-1991 while the Soviets controlled Eastern Germany) didn’t face up to its Nazi past. Here are excerpts:
It is a truism that history is invariably written by the victors, but that shouldn’t stop individuals like me protesting when the truth is so clearly distorted. I read too often recently about how the communists in eastern Europe repressed knowledge of the iniquities of Hitler and Nazism. Recent Guardian articles have stated: “… in communist East Germany which did little to expose its Nazi past” (Hitler’s honour lives on in G8 summit town, March 12); and “Due to the communist regime’s suppression of history and its encouragement of anti-semitism, few Poles were aware …” (I’m no hero, says woman who saved 2,500 ghetto children, March 15).
I was born and grew up in the German Democratic Republic [eastern Germany]. Our schoolbooks dealt extensively with the Nazi period and what it did to the German nation and most of Europe. During the course of their schooling, all pupils were taken at least once to a concentration camp, where a former inmate would explain in graphic detail what took place. All concentration camps in the former GDR were maintained as commemorative places, “so that no one should forget”. The government itself included a good proportion of those, including Jews, who had been forced to flee Hitler fascism or who had been interred.
The allies’ post-war Potsdam agreement laid down the vital need to prosecute Nazi war criminals and de-Nazify the country. In the east, thousands of new teachers had to be found overnight, as those tainted by the Nazi ideology were not suitable to teach a new postwar generation, and this resulted in schools having under-trained and inadequate teaching staff for some years; all lawyers were replaced too.
Although the Nuremberg trials set the scene with the trial and conviction of the 24 top leaders, after the onset of the cold war the west did not carry through the spirit of Potsdam. In West Germany thousands of leading Nazi army officers, judges who had sent Jews and leftists to their deaths, doctors who’d experimented on concentration camp victims, politicians and others, were left unscathed and continued in their professions. They received generous pensions on retirement, whereas those who opposed the Nazis and had been imprisoned or in concentration camps received no pensions for these periods as “they hadn’t paid their contributions”. In the GDR the “victims of fascism” received extra pensions and other privileges in recognition of their suffering. …
In East Germany, on the other hand, all top Nazis were put on trial or fled to the west before they could be caught; and the government produced its famous Brown Book, with a list of leading Nazis who were still “on the run”.
This post-WW-II U.S. support of the Nazis’ ideology — racist-fascist-imperialism — and even of many leading ‘former’ Nazis, has had a major impact upon today, because the U.S. Government has, to a large extent, shaped the entire post-WW-II world; and, so, in “The West,” there is a degree of acceptance of nazism (that ideology) which far exceeds what prevails in the rest of the world, where the nazi ideology is widely despised not only for its racism, and not only for its fascism, and not only for its imperialism, but for all three of these reasons at once.
On 7 November 2022, I headlined “U.S. and allies vote for Nazism at U.N.”, and reported that:
Annually, each year, since 2005, the U.S. Government has been one of only from 1 to 3 Governments to vote in the U.N. General Assembly against an annual statement by the General Assembly against racism and other forms of bigotry — an annual Resolution condemning it, and expressing a commitment to doing everything possible to reduce bigoted acts. For the first time ever, on November 4th, America was joined not only by one or two voting against it, but 52 nations, and almost all gave as reasons that Russia was for it and has invaded Ukraine. Ukraine is the only country that has almost always been joining America in opposing such resolutions [resolutions against all forms of state-supported bigotry]; and many [though still a minority of] countries now vote against the resolution because Ukraine always does, and thus vote in solidarity with Ukraine against Russia — condemn the resolution because Russia supports it.
This year’s Resolution particularly offended America and its allies because “Nazism” is mentioned and condemned specifically in it.
No specific nation is ever mentioned in such resolutions.
Then, the nations were listed, as to their having voted “IN FAVOR (105)” and “AGAINST (52)” and “ABSTAIN (15)” and the 21 that were “ABSENT.” The 52 “AGAINST” are basically the complete list of the U.S.-and-allied countries, and these are the countries that advocate for “regime-change in Russia” or “Putin must go”.
The U.S. representative explained the U.S. vote against the resolution against state-supported bigotry, not by alleging that this is a free-speech issue (such as the U.S. often had used as its excuse in the past, even though there is nothing in the resolution that has ever advocated against freedom of speech) but instead by alleging “This resolution is a cynical attempt at best by Russia [as-if ONLY Russia had created the Resolution — which is NOT true] to further its contemporary geopolitical aims by invoking the Holocaust and the Second World War to malign other countries.” (No country was so much as even merely named — much less condemned — in the Resolution, nor ever has been.) He summed up, “For these reasons, the United States will continue to vote No on this resolution, as it has since 2005, and calls on other States to do the same.”
However, in the first record that I have been able to find, which was in 1985 (when the “AGAINST” were instead marked “N” for “No”), there were only 2 against that year’s version: U.S. and Israel. And, then, from 2005 on, there were only 2 or 3 against the Resolution each year, until 2022, when the U.S. suddenly got all of its allies voting its way on this matter, now that the U.S. Government is coming out more aggressively than ever against both China and Russia and demanding its allies (or vassal-nations) to obey. For example, on 19 November 2017, I headlined “Trump Continues Obama’s Support of Nazism” (and here was the U.N. nation-by-nation vote on it that year), and noted that only Ukraine had joined the U.S. in voting against the Resolution (but Israel joined those two in supporting an amendment to it, which failed to pass; Israel nonetheless voted for the Resolution, that year). America is the ONLY nation that ALWAYS votes for state-supported bigotry. America is not a moderate country: it might even be today more of a police-state than any other.
Here is a brief statement of the history that explains the origin of the U.S. Government’s decisive turn away from FDR’s intense opposition to all imperialism, to, instead, his successor, Truman’s, intense determination for the U.S. Government to become not merely another empire but the world’s ONLY empire, much as Hitler had intended for Germany, but this came instead from both Dwight Eisenhower (Truman’s hero) and Winston Churchill. And it has stayed with the U.S. Government ever since, despite America’s NOMINAL opponent, communism, having been totally abandoned by Russia in 1991. On 11 January 2023, I explained that America’s ‘war against communism’ was really a war against advocates for the poor. Like with Hitler’s racist-fascist imperialism, America’s version is based upon a “Might makes right” ideology, but America’s version of it is more explicit than his was about equating wealth with power or “Might.” Hitler’s was instead primarily “racist,” just a different emphasis than America’s, which is primarily a wealth-based caste-system. Otherwise, it’s quite similar. And, just as Hitler lost because his “Operation Barbarossa” invasion of Russia failed, America could be in for a similar outcome, but only time will tell — perhaps soon.
Anyway, Ukraine’s & Russia’s Defense Ministers agree (but NATO disagrees) that the war in Ukraine is between NATO & Russia, not between Ukraine & Russia; this is already WW III, and the only significant question about it now is whether it’s going to reach a final nuclear stage. This will depend upon how far Washington is willing to go in order to persist in the objective that Hitler had, to control ultimately the entire world.
There is sound reason why global polls show that America is the #1 country that is cited as posing the world’s biggest threat to peace. Global polls didn’t exist during World War II, but if they had, then America certainly wouldn’t have been viewed that way then; probably Nazi Germany would have been. And America has risen to take its place.
The U.S. Congressional Research Service’s list of U.S. invasions (including increases in existing invasions) lists and briefly describes 297 such invasions after WW II (i.e., during 1945-2022, a 77-year period), and is titled “Instances of Use of United States Armed Forces Abroad, 1798-2022”. That 297 U.S. invasions in the past 77 years is more than all of the instances put together during 1798-1945 — a 147-year period. And none of those 297 invasions was defensive. All were unConstitutional. Most of them were purely aggressions (some in order to help a foreign tyrant suppress his own population). America’s Founders had insisted there be no “standing army” in this nation. Until Truman established the ‘Defense’ Department and CIA in 1947, there wasn’t any. That created America’s military-industrial complex, which he and his hero and immediate successor Eisenhower institutionalized. There can be no doubt that starting in 1945 (i.e., with Truman), America changed fundamentally. It became Hitler’s heir. And that is how and why it happened. I don’t think that one can understand it truthfully without knowing this history.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s new book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.

Let me complete the statement: “How the World’s Nazi Movement Relocated From Berlin to Washington and Transferred from Germans to Jews.”
… and to Christians.
You have to pay closer attention to both percentages and roles played, Eric. So I did a search (On DuckDuckGo) using the key words “neocons jews”. The results were illuminating indeed.
Had I read your post first, I would have reconsidered posting above. Still, Eric has many merits and a blind spot, or two, like a beauty spot on the face of a harlot, just makes him more attractive. Love you Eric! You really are on a roll and appreciated here…
Your bias against Jews shows because you are seeking to find Jews who are neocons. Far more neocons are not Jews but Christians, and some are Muslims — for example the Sauds are (or at least have traditionally been) neocons, Fareed Zakaria is a neocon. There is this myth that Jews CREATED neoconservatism (such as that Irving Krystol did at CUNY after he abandoned communism, or that Leo Strauss did after he escaped Nazi Germany), but Cecil Rhodes did in 1877, and was no Jew, and Truman adopted neoconservatism (Rhodesism) from both Churchill and Eisenhower on 25 July 1945 but had already surrounded himself… Read more »
I see Neocons as an American/Zionist branch of British imperialism. Nazis, both German and Ukrainian ones, are their useful idiots fanatically sacrificing themselves fighting real enemies of Anglo Zionists. The poor Jews killed by Hitler were also sacrificed for the Anglo Zionist cause. No powerful Jew died in so called Holocaust (means ritual sacrifice in Hebrew).
Rhodesism doesn’t need Jews, nor does it need Christians, nor does it need Muslims; it needs super-rich individuals who control international corporations that are headquartered in the U.S, especially international armaments-makers like General Dynamics, and extraction firms like ExxonMobil. And it needs their agents, such as some of themselves who control ‘news’-media, and such as politicians and journalists. And it needs academic ‘experts’ to validate their lies. And it needs suckers to misinterpret what is behind all this, suckers who don’t know that what is really behind it is a very small number of extremely wealthy persons — of ALL… Read more »
I don’t think (Zionist) Jews are necessarily on top of the world imperialist system, but I disagree that imperialists don’t need them. By supporting both Zionism and Antisemitism, the imperialists turned Zionist Jews into the most loyal supporters of the system. I am not talking about assimilated Jews. Unlike Nazis, I don’t see Jews as a racial category.
WQhy are hyou again bringing up Jews? Neoconservatism is U.S. imperialism, and it was invented in 1877 by the English Christian Cecil Rhodes and is dominated today by non-Jews and doesn’t even need Jews. My article has nothing to do with Jews but everything to do with neoconservatives and with neoconservatism — of all nations and religions.
small correction. While you may not see them “as a racial category” they themselves consider themselves a racial category. In order to be accepted by the tribe, in the past you had to prove that your mother was a Jew, regardless of whether your father was a Jew or not, based on the “theory” that you always know who your mother is, but can never be sure who your father is. That rule changed, I believe, once they invented paternity testing. So it has little to do with religion, and everything to do with race, at least the way they… Read more »
“small correction. While you may not see them “as a racial category” they themselves consider themselves a racial category”
The Zionist ones and the followers of Zionism do. The assimilated ones (minority in America) don’t. Many of those killed by Nazis were already assimilated or in the process of assimilation. That is why Nazis greatly helped the Zionist cause.
Very true. There were ample warnings in Germany about the rise of anti-semitism. The Holocaust didn’t happen overnight. The signs were unmistakable, for long enough to make it possible for those German Jews who had stolen the German treasury via usury and other methods were able to pack their wealth and flee to other countries, many of them to Latin America. The Jews who didn’t flee did so because they knew they had done no wrong to anyone. They identified as Germans, felt loyal to Germany like other patriots, and believed that surely no one would do them any wrong… Read more »
Your point is taken (though perhaps not well). What do you think the proportion of Jews to Christians and Muslims is among the Washington-based necons in particular, or even perhaps, in general throughout the known world among those who have the ears, or the lever itself, of Power?
I
I think it’s not relevant.
Furthermore: I think that billionaires WANT the public to be bigoted — such as against Blacks, or against Jews, or against Muslims — so that billionaires (remember “Money is power”) WON’T be blamed.
So the jews are participating willingly in building up this awful history which always leads to retribution, though perhaps never enough?
Oh, and retribution doesn’t exist among adherents to ALL religions? How much do you think that most Christians today adhere to the rabbi Jesus’s admonition, “Turn the other cheek”?
Not real Christians
The Bolshevik Jews came to us directly, as well as through Israel, to seize power in the West using the same tactics they had used to subvert and destroy the Russian Empire – Cultural Marxism, nepotism and ruthless, dehumanising scorn for the ‘host’ populations and finally, an incompetence which would make Jahweh himself blush all over again. As Buber said of his tribe: “They are good at tearing things down but not at building them up again.” So be very, very afraid of Jew Claus Schwab who claims to want to rebuild the world he is destroying, under the ominous… Read more »
Come on, everyone with an IQ above 80 understands that America is controlled by Jews. The only question up for debate is how good or bad a job they are doing. If America, instead of being Neocon Central, were a force for Peace and Stability, gave up their lust for global hegemony, and stood by their treaties and promises, then I would give credit to those controlling it for doing a good job. So, I am not complaining about who runs America. I don’t fall for the silly “Democracy” charade. I’m concerned about the job they are doing. And right… Read more »
Zionist Jews are used by anglo imperialist elites to control not only America. The fact that they feel no loyalties to the country makes them useful.
RE: anglo imperialist elites
Who exactly are they currently?
Are they the leaders of the Military/Intelligence/Industrial/Pharmaceutical groups who profit from Arms, War and Disease?
It’s controlled by billionaires, 70% of whom aren’t Jews, and I don’t understand why a majority at this site don’t understand this, and instead blame a minority religious group (or racial group if they are defined not by their individual religious beliefs but instead by whom their parents were) instead of blame the roughly 1,000 billionaires who provide around half of all the money that funds political campaigns in America. The 30-Years War in Europe between Catholics and Protestants that ended in 1648 took five million lives — that was a war between Christians that was a religious war; but… Read more »
Do an investigative article on Paul Wolfowitz for us, Eric.
George W. Bush had made the decision to invade Iraq and to enrich Dick Cheney and the big oil companies by that. Paul Wolfowitz was just one of their agents. He was an eager cog in the wheel.
I think we both know it was the other way around. Wolfowitz was the brains behind the schemes and Bush Jr. (Bush the Retard) was an easy target to manipulate.
“When the Soviet Union collapsed, they came up with the Wolfowitz Doctrine, a declaration of US hegemony over the world as the principal goal of US foreign policy.” . . . Paul Craig Roberts – He was there. You were saying?
Where do you get that number, 70% of billionaires aren’t Jews, from. I suspect the truth to be closer to 70% of billionaires are Jews.
Mr. Zuesse…do us a readers a big favour: keep your articles short and to the point – there is a lot more stuff to read and the day has only 24 hours. Insert links for those who have time to spare. Thanks.
Readers here, please reply below to say Yes or No to that request: Yes if you agree with it, or No if you don’t. Until now, I have let each article determine how long it ought to be. I’ve never believed that anything but the subject-matter should determine the length of an article. When an article is done, I know that it is done. The article tells me when. Does a novelist or a symphonist, or any scientist, work in any other way. Should one? I am not a columnist who writes in order to meet some physical newspaper’s predictable… Read more »
I agree with Vera. It’s not that your long articles aren’t interesting, it’s a matter of time. The day has only 16 hours, yours are not the only articles we read, and most people have other duties and chores to do every day. I have found that when I am forced to shorten an article because its length is limited, forcing me to go back to take out parts or words not absolutely essential to get the meaning across, the end result is surprisingly good. Sometimes one expresses ideas better with fewer words, when eliminating every word not absolutely essential… Read more »
Thanks, Helga. However, from your description of your method of writing, it is basically different from mine. Perhaps subtracting helps improve continuity and smoothness of flow in yours, but it wouldn’t in mine. In mine, continuity would be hurt not helped — like amputating one’s thigh in order to strengthen one’s calf would do.
Fascism emerged in the 19th century. That was also the era of imperialism and racism. South Carolina is were the American fascists still come from. Senator Graham is such an example. The house of Windsor was also fascist. Imperialism, fascism and racism go hand in hand. Zionism came from imperalism.
Eric points out that there are very bad “Christians” as well as “Jews”, Oh is he right about that. Two of the best examples are the War Mongers and War Criminals Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Winston Churchill. Their goal was to destroy Germany and they were willing to plunge the planet into world war to accomplish that. So they set up a trap using Poland to provoke the hot head Hitler into trying to solve the Danzig/East German problem with military force. Hitler succumbed to hubris and dived head first into their trap. Roosevelt meanwhile had one more problem. How… Read more »
