Good points made. The more we find out the harder they push back with their lame Big Lie(s). And they continue to have most of the timid population yet in their thrall. But they rightfully expected just that; they know their prey.
Regarding the USA's lack of Exceptionalism vs the Nazis' innovations, there's the matter of although the Germans came up with the coal to gas to fuel via the Fischer-Tropsch process for diesel in 1925, our stellar and ever civic minded capitalists cannot be said to have shirked their if not patriotic, then at least entrepreneurial instincts and duties in doing the same for Hitler (and themselves regarding gasoline:
"Researchers Morton Mintz and Jerry S. Cohen, in their book, Power Inc., describe the Du Pont-GM-Nazi relationship in these terms:
. . . In 1929, (Du Pont-controlled) GM acquired the largest automobile company in Germany, Adam Opel, A.G. This predestined the subsidiary to become important to the Nazi war effort. In a heavily documented study presented to the Senate Subcommittee on Antitrust and Monopoly in February 1974, Bradford C. Snell, an assistant subcommittee counsel, wrote:
'GM's participation in Germany's preparation for war began in 1935. That year its Opel subsidiary cooperated with the Reich in locating a new heavy truck facility at Brandenburg, which military officials advised would be less vulnerable to enemy air attacks. During the succeeding years, GM supplied the Wehrmact with Opel "Blitz" trucks from the Brandenburg complex. For these and other contributions to (the Nazis) wartime preparations, GM's chief executive for overseas operations (James Mooney) was awarded the Order of the German Eagle (first class) by Adolf Hitler.'
Du Pont-GM Nazi collaboration, according to Snell, included the participation of Standard Oil of New Jersey (now Exxon) in one, very important arrangement. GM and Standard Oil of New Jersey formed a joint subsidiary with the giant Nazi chemical cartel, I.G. Farben, named Ethyl G.m.b.H. (now Ethyl, Inc.) which, according to Snell: "provided the mechanized German armies with synthetic tetraethyl fuel (leaded gas). During 1936-39, at the urgent request of Nazi officials who realized that Germany's scarce petroleum reserves would not satisfy war demands, GM and Exxon joined with German chemical interests in the erection of the lead-tetraethyl plants. According to captured German records, these facilities contributed substantially to the German war effort: 'The fact that since the beginning of the war we could produce lead-tetraethyl is entirely due to the circumstances that, shortly before, the Americans (Du Pont, GM and Standard Oil) had presented us with the production plants complete with experimental knowledge. Without lead-tetraethyl the present method of warfare would be unthinkable.'' (7)"
Regarding rocketry, Dr Robert Goddard's world class work in the 20s and 30s was sniffed at by the US military command; they just didn't take him seriously. German scientists and their government however, did. And were happy to capitalize on his pioneering research.
I am not sure about apocalyptic predictions of being taken away in a third phase. But he that as it may, exclusion for the non compliant will be nightmarish enough.
