The rise of the Nazi thought system is a effect of Jewish control, just as it was in Germany 1933. Anti-Zionism is on the rise everywhere due to the evil behavior of the Israelis. There are too many duel citizenship Israelis in the American government who are viewed as traitors and spy's by many Americans. Jews are only 2% of the population and there is a disproportional amount controlling everything in the country. This could bring about problems for them!

The Americans voted against this resolution?? How could we in light of what happened? I have to look up the resolution now and read it fully for myself, I can't see any reason to want to deny that resolution beyond our last administration (sorry about them, Ivoted against them every time, jr and sr) wanting to be a pain in the worlds collective asses. Maybe they felt that since neal prescott bush's fortune came from aiding the Nazi's via funding and banking, that it would be hypocricitcal, though hypocrisy was normally not an issue for them.

I think there is an attempt by Russian news media to portray Baltic people as Nazi, in a way to defend the illegal and cruel invasion and occupation of the Baltic countries by the USSR from 1944-1991. Estonians did not ask, nor did not want to be occupied by either the USSR or Germany, but simply wanted to be free and independent, as all nations do. In should be pointed out, that in 1940, when the Soviet Union invaded the Baltic countries, that the USSR was in fact was allied with Nazi Germany, and then the Baltic countries were not called fascist, but Borgiouse Capitalist. The Red Army claimed to liberate the Baltics from borgiouse capitalism. In fact, Stalin's official reason for invading Estonia was because Estonia had let the Polish ship leave its harbor, claiming that Estonia was not being neutral by helping Poland, then Poland being both considered an enemy to the Russian-German allience, an allience defined by the Molitov-Ribbeptrop pact. It is interesting that now even Russia claims to no longer be communist and supposedly embraces capitalist system, while still defending those Red Army soldiers who brought the Baltic countries under communism. Estonians faught its war of Independence from 1918-1920, which it even faught side by side White Russian soldiers against the Red Army. Now that Russia has admitted that communism was the wrong path and now embraces free market democracy, why does it still defend those who for communism. The truth is that Russia has made up many excuses for invading land, but the only real reason it ever invades is to aquire and steal more land for itself as it has for hundreds of years. We have yet to here an apology and admission by the Russian government for the illegal 50 years of Soviet Occupation from 1940-1991. All we hear are soviet apologists who defend the Soviet invasion of the Baltics, and the mass deportations of its people to Siberia. This insults the memory of all the millions who died in the Gulags.
