“Nowadays, we rightly view the Nazi regime as an evil empire, horrific in their actions and despicable in their ideology. However, Nazi Germany was not always viewed as such. In fact, many major corporations that have survived to this day did business with the Nazis…” — Gabe Paoletti.
Being an ex-Muslim actively working against Islam and in particular jihad, I could not help but be struck by these opening lines to a short overview of 7 Brands with Nazi Ties That We All Use, by Gabe Paoletti. Ideally, a topic like this should be more substantially referenced, but then it is a short overview and the references offered are good. The seven corporations listed are: IBM, Volkswagen, Coca-Cola, Hugo Boss, The Associated Press, Kodak and Bayer. Especially relevant is the linked material on The Associated Press.
The opening lines quoted above struck me for their chilling prefiguring of a possible aftermath of present developments. A future version of this passage could so easily read:
“Nowadays, we rightly view Islam as an evil empire, horrific in its actions and despicable in its ideology. However, Islam was not always viewed as such. In fact, many major corporations that have survived to this day did business with Islam…”
Of course, one immediately thinks of Nike, Facebook, Google, YouTube, Twitter, the BBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Guardian, and so on, which quickly segues into the non-profits: the SPLC, the very large number of so-called “Islamic Studies” departments in Western universities, the vast agglomeration of civic society organisations promoting Islam, entire governments… collaboration with Islam is everywhere, and in every walk of life, so much so that if all collaboration with Islam were to cease tomorrow, Western society would be left resembling a Swiss cheese.
Collaboration with the Nazis was the exception. Collaboration with Islam is the rule. Nazi ideology and propaganda bought acquiescence from most of the non-Jewish German population, from small sections of other European populations, and from the Catholic Church, which was substantial. Yet it never became a virtue to collaborate with the Nazis. Islamic ideology pervades everything, everywhere because, perversely, collaboration with an ideology of plunder, murder and rape has become a virtue.
Hitler admired Islam and its prophet, Muhammad, and had a brief encounter with a specimen of his followers, the then Grand Mufti of Palestine, Mohammad Amin al-Husayni. The Grand Mufti did all he could to press the Nazis not just to stop sending Jews to Palestine, but to send the Jews to Poland and exterminate them. The Führer admired Islam and regretted not being able to attain to it. He was right. His propagandists were amateurs against those of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, The Arab League, The Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force, etc., etc. But then, Islam’s final solution is so much grander than the mere extermination of a people; jihad will not stop until “all worship is for Allah alone,” (Qur’an 2:193) or the entire planet is engulfed in violence in the attempt.

Modern Islam”ism” was a Nazi project since the days when they subsidised the Muslim Brotherhood and Muslim millions proclaimed “Allah in heaven and Hitler on earth.”
william carr says
Henry Ford did business right with Germany right up to Pearl Harbour and was even awarded a medal by Hitler himself fo his service to the Nazis

It is very encouraging to see that an Indian writer by the Indian name of Anjuli Pandavar has been motivated to contribute to Jihad Watch.
And we are not disappointed since Anjuli ‘s brilliant , incisive mind, subtle yet penetrating insights and exquisitely crafted language have raised the bench mark of analysis and debate on Jihad Watch just as Ms Christine Douglass- Williams has done
Welcome Anjuli !!

Thank you for your kind words, Cicero and GI.

I will offer a few actions that are well within the purview of a legislature.
1) End dual citizenship altogether. Your loyalties and jurisdiction should be with one country only.
2) End corporate partnership with, and ownership of, foreign subsidiaries. Domestic corporations will do business with foreign corporations through buying and selling, but will not share profits nor interests. Any US corporation having foreign capital assets will not be considered a US corporation. We could do worse than to end corporate personship altogether and make individuals liable for their own actions;
3) Require US corporations to be headed and controlled by US citizens.
4) End tax exemption for non-profits, so-called, and end tax deductible donations. You make money, you can spend it, the same as everyone else, but we won’t provide an exempt class where you spend spend your money tax-free for your own personal interests.
What these points address is the ability of Islam and Islamists to leverage government resources to turn to their own purposes.
Brian hoff says
You are saying muslim have no rights in america so you are than racist.
Angemon says
Nothing in RonaldB’s post says what you claim. But by all means, keep calling everyone “racist” and see how far that gets you…
TruthWFree says
First off, being a Muslim is being a member of a religion and I understand any race can believe in Muhammad and his allah god. Second, if you knew the teachings in the Quran exhorting Muslims to fight, kill and subjugate the unbeliever and if you were able to connect the allah god’s commands in the Quran to killing the unbeliever, like 9/11/2001, San Bernadino, Orlando, Ft. Hood, Boston and countless other atrocieties around the world, you would not want to bring in Muslims whose allah god wants them to fight kill and subjugate you. One cannot get in a Muslim’s head to see if he believes strongly in his allah god’s commands, so what are the cahances he does? Some say 10% and I’ve also seen up to 30%, so the likely hood of being killed by a Muslim increases with the number you bring in. A supposed moderate Muslim can raise a son who believe he should kill unbelievers. Personally, i don’t want any Muslims of any race coming into the country and certainly not living next door to me.
James says
The Nazis could not claim to be one of the great world religions. Islam is an international religion existing for 1400 years and enmeshed in over 55 countries worldwide. It can claim to be universal. People assume that it must be there to give comfort to the poor in spirit and heal wounds, provide the promise of heaven and comfort. But people do not realize that it has so much in common with totalitarian ideologies like communism and Nazism. It should be quarantined and kept out, like an invasive species.
TruthWFree says
I agree with you. Islam has no place in a free society like America.

Yup – never forget it.

I always wondered why they started to kill the Jews when they work before together with the Emigration to British Palestine.

Collaborators with Islam are as deadly as Islam itself.

Collaboration with the Nazis was more wide spread than Pandavar realizes. Bush, Ford , and many other powerful families supported the rise of Hitler.Ford plants operated in Germany during the war. A number of military officers said off record that we should have been fighting Russia not Germany during WW2. We had the German American Bund here in NYC. This was a out right Nazi organization during WW2. After the war we recruited Nazi scientist to work in our space program. Unfortunately pro Nazi sentiment was wide spread in some circles here in the USA. Some American elites have a habit of playing both sides of the fence. Welcome to JW Mr. Pandavar.

There was Nazi support even in South Africa.

This was an article long waiting to be written. The old form of warfare is nearly obsolete, since the Islamist know they could never win a hot war. The new form of warfare is massive funding into misinformation campaigns. Subversion of democratic political and judicial institutions is a new tactic, and money is the means. They have a warchest of trillions, and the petro pumps bring more each day. The assault on our freedoms comes from multiple directions and is hard to pinpoint just one. We can only expose them one at a time. An anecdote sticks in my mind. When Christine Basey Ford, and Julie Swetnick were accusing Justice Cavanaugh of unsubstantiated rape and abuse allegations, Faiz Shakir, the public spokesperson for the ACLU said of Kavanaugh on the Tucker Carlson show “he (Kavanaugh) is not entitled to the presumption of innocence”. They are infiltrating these institutions at an alarming rate.

IBM did very thing legal to stop Hitler from taken over the branch of IBM but lose. Volkswago Hugo Boss Bayer are Germany companys. Coca Cola and Kodak are international corporations. Coca Cola make only soft drink like soda no war makeing materials in soft drink. Kodak only make films for picture taken.
Norger says
The SPLC has chosen align itself with an ideology that is every bit as intolerant, repressive and dangerous as the KKK. Collaborators, useful idiots; history will not treat them kindly.
