The Nazi German Round-Up: German TV Airs Conspiracy Horsecrap, and the US Tells Germany to Drop Dead
The Germans have never been very good friends of the United States - since 1941, they have killed thousands and imprisoned thousands. Of course, all of that was during the Second World War, but in the years following that small problem caused by a German leader (not the current Nazi in charge) the Germans have funded and given solace to America's enemies, criticized America, protested America, at the same time that America was providing Germany and Germans with protection from the Soviet Union. And how do you think that billions in Marshall aid (which they have never paid back) and 50 years of free military protection is rewarded? German TV airs a show that has as its central theme that 1) 9/11 was caused by the "Bush family" and 2) this was done so that "the Bush family" could make money in oil:
TV show depicts 9/11 as Bush plot
For a country once ruled by Hitler, you would think Germans would remember what conspiracies and nutcases would do to them. Instead we get this shit.
So, how can we react to this slur from these people? Well, Germany wants to be on the Security Council in the United Nations...and without US support, they won't be. And as of now, President Bush has a long memory, and his administration has told the German imbeciles nein:
U.S. rebuffs bid to join Security Council
Sounds good to us. Just imagine what kind of kiss a President Gore or a President Kerry would have placed right on the backside of Gerhard Schroeder right about now.

TV show depicts 9/11 as Bush plot
A fictional crime drama based on the premise that the Bush administration ordered the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Washington aired this week on German state television, prompting the Green Party chairman to call for an investigation.
"I think absolutely nothing of the conspiracy theory that has been hawked in this series. I hope this particular TV movie will be discussed very critically at the next supervisory board meeting of ARD [state television]," said Green Party Chairman Reinhard Buetikofer, who acknowledged that he had not seen the show.
Sunday night's episode of "Tatort," a popular murder mystery that has been running on state-run ARD-German television for 35 years, revolved around a German woman and a man who was killed in her apartment.
According to the plot, which was seen by approximately 7 million Germans, the dead man had been trained to be one of the September 11 pilots but was left behind, only to be tracked down and killed by CIA or FBI assassins.
The woman, who says in the program that the September 11 attacks were instigated by the Bush family for oil and power, then is targeted, presumably to silence her. The drama concludes with the German detectives accepting the truth of her story as she eludes the U.S. government hit men and escapes to safety in an unnamed Arab country.
As ludicrous as it may sound to most Americans, the tale has resonance in Germany, where fantastic conspiracy theories often are taken as fact.
Many Germans think, for example, that the 1969 moon landing was faked, and a poll published in the weekly Die Zeit showed that 31 percent of Germans younger than 30 "think that there is a certain possibility that the U.S. government ordered the attacks of 9/11."
For a country once ruled by Hitler, you would think Germans would remember what conspiracies and nutcases would do to them. Instead we get this shit.

U.S. rebuffs bid to join Security Council
GERMANY -- The Bush administration, in a move that is straining relations with the government of Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, has again rebuffed Germany's effort to become a permanent member of the UN Security Council, U.S. and European officials said Wednesday.
The officials said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice again relayed the U.S. position in private to the German foreign minister, Joschka Fischer, on Wednesday, suggesting that expansion of the Security Council was secondary in importance to other changes in the United Nations, such as streamlining management. The United States declined to endorse the German effort for weeks, but its tone became more emphatic in the last several days.
Sounds good to us. Just imagine what kind of kiss a President Gore or a President Kerry would have placed right on the backside of Gerhard Schroeder right about now.
