Really? Is it possible German and American NATO military officers honor and admire Nazi's? Do we have our own little underground AZOV Brigade here? We already know many of our police forces are full of Nazi symps, and so are the police in Germany, but our military! Is this the tip of an iceberg. We know the US treated the peasants in Vietnam like the NAZIs treated civilians in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union but those officers have all retired with the appropriate metals and fat pensions. Well, their offspring did them proud in Iraq and Afghanistan (I mean officers not the grunts fooled into fighting for the profits of big business and arms dealers) they even lost as well. The NATO publicity machine will take care of this indiscrete outbreak of admiration for Adolf's old warriors in Texas-- keep it in the back rooms and barracks guys -- Putin says he is fighting in Ukraine against the NAZI infiltration of the government after the US sponsored 2014 coup against the democratically elected government -- we don't want to give the impression that's why we support Ukraine. So cool it!

NATO NAZIS ?

China and the Uyghurs via the BBC
The faces from China’s Uyghur detention camps
By John Sudworth
This is a major BBC news “exposé” on Chinese government repression of the Uyghurs— or is it?
Is there any reason to be skeptical about this article? Here are some facts to consider that I found from articles in Wikipedia.
All this information comes from one source, Adrian Zenz, a professional anti-communist and extreme religious fundamentalist, co-author of Worthy to Escape: Why All Believers Will Not Be Raptured Before the Tribulation. He has “stated that he feels "led by God" in his research on Chinese Muslims and other minority groups.”
“Zenz published the Xinjiang Police Files, a collection of official police documents he received from anonymous hackers in early 2022.” Who are these mysterious hackers? Could they be sophisticated enough to have fabricated all this stuff?
Who does Zenz work for? “As of 2021, he is a senior fellow in China studies at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.”
Who is behind this foundation? “The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (VOC) is a non-profit anti-communist organization in the United States, authorized by a unanimous Act of Congress in 1993 for the purpose of "educating Americans about the ideology, history and legacy of communism." What do you know, it’s the United States government. The Republicans and Democrats are unanimous in being anti-communists.
One of the goals of this outfit is to equate China with Nazi Germany! It supports the “double genocide” theory— Nazi race genocide = Communist class genocide.
So, the question is, does the United States government have the capabilities to fabricate all this so-called “hacked” material as part of its ongoing propaganda assault against China? If it does, then is some basis for being skeptical about this article.

Ben & Jerry's Does the Right Thing
" Ben & Jerry’s announcement nearly one year ago that it would no longer sell ice cream in “occupied Palestinian territories” is continuing to attract ire, as it finds itself the target of a new lawsuit, an alleged fake-news story and threats of further divestments…..Last week New York Gov. Kathy Hochul issued Unilever a final warning saying the state plans to divest its own funds from the company over the Israel decision if it did not take more decisive action against its subsidiary.'---JTA
