It explains a very small portion of what went on in the USA. In the 20's and 30's in America, there were nazi bund camps, training camps as it were set up in the USA. Someone had to pay for it - research who it was. Lots of rich families and corporations involved, big names that we know today. Research who owned the companies that used Jews as slaves in the concentration camps.
Werner Von Braun and his cronies, yep, another nazi responsible for the deaths of some 20,000+ jews for building the V2 rockets in slave camps. It wasn't until Braun's death in '77 that the US released the fact that they brought nazi's over to the US.
Want more intriguing historical figures? Fritz Thyssen. His ties to the Union Banking Corporation in the USA - and Prescott Bush.

How about Henry Ford and all of the engines that he supplied to Nazi war machines.
How about the Rothschild dynasty and how they have had their hands in financing both sides of every major conflict dating back to the french revolution.

And yet no mention of "Justin Truedope". I guess that I should start a thread of whom you'd like to see tarred and feathered.

Tell me more. Did he actually supply them or did Ford-Werke after it was separated from Ford? Or maybe even some engines in 1933, seven years before the war started? I have a very difficult time believing he supplied Nazi Germany with anything after they declared war on the US.

Ever wonder why the US didn't enter the war until 1942? We all know the claims. How did Hitler bring Germany out of the ashes of WW1, bring her back to a superpower and start another war 20 years later? I know what we were told, but Hitler didn't have any money. It took alot of investment, and it didn't come out of Germany.
Ford and GM supplied both sides of the war. Henry Ford actually got a medal from Hitler. Ford-Werke was owned by Henry Ford - and he indeed used slave Jewish labor to build vehicles and supply the Nazi regime. This isn't a big secret anymore, even family guy torments Ford - remember the Jew flattening machine episode? And many others like it?

Ever hear the term "War is Business"? That's not a new term, that was WW2.The list of Western corporations that supplied Hitler was long. Fascism was big in Canada as well in the 20's and 30's.

My List
Let me begin by saying 3 people is too few as there are so many historical greats.
1) Martin Luther
I think this man made the modern world possible. He broke the chains of the Dark Age Roman Catholic church and in my mind was responsible for the paradigm shift that made the Renessaince possible. He also took the control of man's relationship with his creator out of the hands of the church and put it in the control of each individual. Ohh ya and in his spare time translated the bible into the language of the common person.
2) Leonardo Davinci
The true uber manch. Guys was a genius in so many fields that its hard to include them all in a few sentences.
3) Nick Telsa
I am convinced that he discovered free energy and the powers that be have kept it out of the hands of the people.

Justin Trudeau.
If you're not fascinated with him, you should be. He is changing the way you, and the rest of Canadians, will live their lives for the next 10 years or more.

It is not him, but his controllers. If you think he is calling the shots, you are mistaken.
Justin Trudeau is not fascinating, he is merely a product of circumstances.

Jody Mitic.
He wrote a book; Unflinching: The making of a Canadian Sniper. Really good read about how he came to be and what his plans are down the road.

Yup. Anyone who thinks a stuttering part-time teacher had the chops for the PM's position is deluded, he was brought in because people will vote for a pretty-boy with a national family history. When you can't see the marionette strings, its because there's a hand up his backside controlling his mouth movements.

The U.S. declared war Dec 7 1941. Roosevelt wanted to get in when Great Britain and France declared war on Germany . The war would have been over much sooner but for the isolationist movement and their poster boy Charles Lindbergh. Hitler had plenty of mney, he stole it from the Jews before enslaving and murdering them.

I've always been intrigued by Custer. To you, what stands out as a "what were you thinking" mistake he made?
After a lot of reading about the Battle of Little Bighorn everything that Custer did was rational to someone in his shoes.
He was facing an enemy that, never once, had stood and fought against a full strength Calvary column. He figured, based on years of experience, that the Indians would run. Of course one may say if he used his scouts more effectively he would have soon found out that what was waiting for him was unlike any Indian force the US had ever faced. However, he knew the Indians would likely spot his scouts, and as I said before he thought they would run. He figured it was imperative he seek them out and destroy the combined force before they had a chance to run. This was a rational thought based on previous US experience. This is why he didn't deploy his scouts and wait for Intel, this is why he engaged despite having fatigued troops, this is why he divided his forces.
There were many things Custer could have done to change the fate of him and his men, but the decisions he made that led to his death weren't necessarily poor ones given his knowledge and experiences previous the the battle. He was an experienced and effective commander with lots of prior combat experience. I think history has been too hard on him in the last several decades. Regardless, it is a very interesting bit of history.

I forgot to mention Thomas Sowell. Google him, and check out his website and his posts on other sites.
I know, he's not "famous" but if anyone wants a "black" US president, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat, without a second thought, if I was an American.

Carl Sagan.
His soliloquy of the "Pale Blue Dot" is as insightful as anything I've heard. It speaks to all of us, no matter what religion, race or politics.
