So did the Guandique guy actually do it or was he just the designated patsy- either way he got off scot-free, vs. Condit taking the heat in the court of public opinion Until reading that thread I was always under the impression Condit killed her

If he did it it was because he was paid. The crazy thing is that Condit had her killed, and he would have gotten away with if if he wasn’t a minor speed bump to the expansion of American capitalism.

2 fun stories I’ve heard about dear Allen. The landing at Normandy, despite being successful, was a massive disaster. The Allies were expecting light German resistance, and that’s because it’s what Allen told them. Also, he reportedly broke down crying when Rosevelt told him to stop ending every letter with “Heil Hitler.” Seems like a guy you don’t want to listen to when going to war against the Nazis. It’s like the US never was ideologically opposed to the Nazis or something.

I can't find a reference to the Normandy/D-Day part, but here's an excerpt from chapter 1 of "The Devil's Chessboard"quote:Dulles knew many of the central players in the secretive Swiss financial milieu because he and his brother had worked with them as clients or business partners before the war. Sullivan and Cromwell, the Dulles brothers’ Wall Street law firm, was at the center of an intricate international network of banks, investment firms, and industrial conglomerates that rebuilt Germany after World War I. Foster, the law firm’s top executive, grew skilled at structuring the complex merry-go-round of transactions that funneled massive U.S. investments into German industrial giants like the IG Farben chemical conglomerate and Krupp Steel. The profits generated by these investments then flowed to France and Britain in the form of war reparations, and then back to the United States to pay off war loans. a close reading tells us that it was John Foster Dulles, though, and not Allen, that implemented the policy of signing off the way they did

Chris Tucker was a rising star, riding the successes of Friday, Fifth Element, Rush Hour 1 + 2, then he takes a trip to Africa on the Lolita Express with Epstein, Clinton, Spacey in 2002 and afterwards he doesn’t really do many more movies. I always thought it was because he didn’t “play ball” and so he got kinda blacklisted Rush Hour 3 in 2007 is a notable exception to this but otherwise he goes from doing a few movies a year to doing one movie every five year or so

I was doom scrolling YouTube shorts the other day and one was the chorus from Serbia strong with subtitles and they referred to the Croatians as ustase. I thought that was a strange thing to say and a very specific insult so I started reading the history of the build to the Yugo civil war. It never came up that part of the anger was that the Croatian libs integrated the collaborators into their party to sure up support for breaking off Croatia as an independent country. This led me to the realisation that since the civil war resolved without Sherman burning his way to the sea the USA has somehow found a way to always end up on the wrong side of every war they got involved in. I'm sure the only reason they got involved in the European theatre in WW2 is because they realised Germany was going to lose and they needed to ensure the constancy of right wing terror. Gehlen org, operation paperclip, having Mengele provide support on keeping their soldiers healthy in the tropics while overthrowing left wing governments, and do much more!

It never came up that part of the anger was that the Croatian libs integrated the collaborators into their party to sure up support for breaking off Croatia as an independent country. All things being equal, I think the US would have preferred to do what Sweden did and play both sides as much as possible, but as big as the section of leadership wanting a US-German alliance was, there was a bigger section that wanted friendly relations with England and France. And when Germany couldn't put together a fascist coup in England (or pull off the Business Plot in America) that pretty much sealed us coming down against them a decade plus later. It's easy to forget just how far behind Germany was in terms of empire-building. They had overseas colonies sure, but in terms of supplying the raw materials to feed the American industrial engine, it was really no choice at all which side to back once the battle lines in Europe were drawn. And then there's the whole alliance with Japan. That pretty much guaranteed America coming into the war against Germany sooner or later, as Japan was definitely going to be kicking out not just the Americans but the rest of our European allies. There's an open question what would have happened if Japan hadn't gone after American colonies but given their position, there's no way America doesn't at a minimum provide support against Japan, and if the British have American bases to operate out of that Japan can't attack, well it's only a matter of time until they get fed up with that and attack one and then boom we're in a war against Japan. We obviously wanted to contain the Communist Menace, and history has proved time and again that liberals hate communists more than fascists, but WW2 had too much WW1-style military and economic alliance entanglements to ever make the US backing Germany against Britain and France a serious possibility.
