Outrail posted:Big deal, my electric company can do that without a fancy gadget. Haha, reminds me of when the Social Democrats sold off control of our national energy grid to Goldman Sachs so they could extract profits through notorious tax shelter Luxembourg, and their immediate reaction to being warned about raising energy prices was almost literally, "Nice infrastructure you've got there. Would be a shame if anything like frequent outages happened to it." The company used to be called DONG and the Minister responsible for the sale immediately quit politics to work for McKinsey, the very same company that had advised the government on the deal. i wonder what necklacing smells like haha im just curious for laughs haha i would like to smell it

Is there a better source for that? I'm asking because that particular Ministry has been marred by continuous scandals under the current government, mostly to do with manipulating numbers to let the agricultural industry gently caress the environment even harder.

Another plus for books is that sometimes they aren't made with child slavery and will possibly survive a few years after the Great Collapse. Unfortunately, having once worked stocking new books at a library, I can tell you that you'll mostly be reading weight loss books and bad romance novels.

ate all the Oreos posted:Wasn't there a big string of immigrant murders a few years ago in Germany that the authorities didn't give a poo poo about because it must just be those immigrants murdering each other, and then it turned out it was a bunch of white nationalists doing it Yes, they were only discovered because they also killed a cop, before that it was simply the "Döner Murders". You know, because immigrants sell kebabs and are routinely shot execution-style with suppressors for no reason, must be the gangs. It's especially grievous since the age-old joke is that roughly half the neo-nazis in Germany are police informants. They also neglected to inform the vast majority of the 35,000+ people found on the various death lists discovered during the investigation, and those few they did inform weren't provided any protection whatsoever. Another guy had acquired a fake identity as a Syrian asylum seeker and was planning false flag attacks, thankfully they caught that shithead in time.

There were tons of former nazis in West German intelligence. Only a tiny fraction of Einsatzgruppen members saw justice after the war despite being captured. Operation Gladio. "Never again." At least RAF got one of those motherfuckers. Then Horst Mahler became a nazi himself and went to prison again. lol

I should have taken your advice. quote:Although the Soviet authorities wished the prosecutions to take place, the United States objected after the reports of the investigating US microbiologists. Among these was Dr. Edwin Hill (Chief of Fort Detrick), whose report stated that the information was "absolutely invaluable", it "could never have been obtained in the United States because of scruples attached to experiments on humans", and "the information was obtained fairly cheaply".

caedwalla posted:The book Unit 731 Testimony is a good overview of the heinous poo poo they did to Chinese civilians during the war. I don't think your examples are even the worst things they did. I should clarify, I'm using those examples as things that could be said to have some limited military value if you're already a monster. The rest is some hosed up Marquis de Sade poo poo. Even though the Soviets wanted them prosecuted, the few scientists they themselves captured were given relatively lenient sentences, considering that they had also experimented on Soviet civilians and POWs, and all but one who seppuku'd in prison were released by the '50s. Nuremberg trials were mostly symbolic, tens and tens of thousands of people who actively participated in industrial genocide didn't suffer a single meaningful consequence from their actions. That dude I mentioned that the RAF executed? quote:After his death Schleyer has been extensively honoured in Germany; the Hanns Martin Schleyer Prize, the Hanns Martin Schleyer Foundation and the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle are named in his honour. In 2017 German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and the German government marked the 40th anniversary of the kidnapping. quote:After World War II, the Allies held Schleyer as a prisoner of war for three years because of his membership as an Untersturmführer in the SS. In his denazification proceeding, Schleyer falsely understated his rank so as to reduce his prospective punishment. He was repatriated in 1948. In 1949 he became secretary of the chamber of commerce of Baden-Baden. In 1951 Schleyer joined Daimler-Benz, and, with help from a mentor, Fritz Könecke, eventually became a member of the board of directors. At the end of the 1960s, he was almost appointed chairman of the board, but lost the position to Joachim Zahn. Successively, Schleyer became more involved in employers' associations, and was a leader in employer and industry associations. He was simultaneously president of the Confederation of German Employers' Associations (BDA) and the Federation of German Industries (BDI). ate all the Oreos posted:In Von Braun's case he came over with plans and examples of how he wanted to take rocket tech and make it bigger and better than the V2, I assume the bioweapons scientists also had a bunch of similar ideas the US wanted to see borne out. It makes sense if your goal is "make the worst weapons you possibly can, as fast as you possibly can, by any means necessary" Yeah, they also had lots of data on bubonic plague bombs and poo poo. Some of their findings were even published in peer-review journals disguised as monkey experiments.
