Germany, Switzerland, Banking and the Lichtenstein affair

Few people are aware that the Swiss Banking Law that made it a criminal violation to breech privacy of the bank depositors that was passed in 1934, was passed specifically to deter German attempts to "investigate" and seize assets of Jews and other "enemies of the German state" (as customary, Germans came with a very strong legal pretexts to their investigation, armed with allegations of tax evasion, embezzelement and other statues available to them back in the day). Back in 1934 Swiss showed some backbone, and ever since Swiss banking privacy has been ironclad, until the arrival of this Millennium.

An average German today is probably a very nice chap without a shred of sympathy towards Nazis and probably will tell you how much he loves Jews (except the Russian ones, that came to steal his pension, but that's a separate story). But it is naive to think that the elite of Western Germany's society, the people who ran both the industry and the government from after the war and till today were clean of sympathy to the old regime. Unlike GDR, where Stasi with KGB's help did a thorough and complete purge of anyone known to sympathize or even collaborate with the Nazi regime in any significant way - Bundesrepublik and their American puppeteers took a very different approach, under which almost everybody got to keep their posts after some shuffling and public chest-beating. They gave it a lot of thought, and given that both the upper echelon of US military establishment and the Nazis now shared unmitigated paranoia and hatred of a common enemy, the great "Bolshevik conspiracy", where "Bolshevik" was often a moniker for a Jew - it is no surprise that General Patton and his clique on one hand, and Nazi executive functionaries on the other, found much in common. This laid a foundation to the Western Germany and today's Germany is ran by people who got to their posts by that route.

If you think that a desire of revenge over those who contributed to their downfall is gone, think again. The higher on the ladder you go, the likelier you are to encounter these pleasant, grey haired gentlemen who were pretty young during the war to be convicted of anything serious, but many of whom retain so much bitterness and hatred, closeted towards the US, Britain and Spain but rather uncloseted towards the "Russians" and whatever else they lump into the group.

So back to the banking laws, recently Germany set a nasty precedent with Lichtenstein bribing an employee to hand over confidential information about accounts of Germans that were keeping money in Lichtenstein. Germany is largely behind the pressure on the Switzerland to change or even repeal their Banking Secrecy Law, and German-written policies are used as a template by morons in Washington who are eager to buy into this well though out scheme of oppression.

"Money laundering" and "tax evasion" are phony, sucked-out-of-a-finger, reasons to give up the shred of banking privacy - by now largely symbolic, as in reality the Swiss readily and eagerly hand over information to anything resembling a criminal investgation. In reality, it's just a tiny step in building the new Eurofascism and in exacting the scheme of ethnic revenge.

Today's Germany rewards its allies from days long gone and punishes those who dared to stand up. An American for whom ethnicity is the last thing on mind won't readily understand Europeans, who think foremost in the terms of nationality and only then education, profession et cetera. Thus, whever possible Germans punish and humiliate Serbs, Russians, Czech, Danish and Dutch - while rewarding their pets from days of Nazism, such as Albanians, Bosniaks, Slovaks, Lithuanians, Estonians, Romanians, Chechens, Turks, Arabs - this list is much longer. It's not a coincidence that every attempt of separatism by those who lined with the Reich and served in Waffen SS is actively trumpeted and supported by the Germans, even when it involves supporting open terrorism and crime - like the KLA, heroin trafficking, kidnapping and murdering terrorist ring that got themselves a small country now. They divide and conquer relying on the networks of old rifts and antipathies. And they quench, oppress and sabotage those whom they perceive as "resistance", who didn't and probably won't align themselves completely with German interests of then and of now.
