MS FITT
POSTED TEXT
Openning day of the House of Representatives on 1/27.
As soon as a few formalities were accomplished, a bill to compensate
holocaust survivors was introduced by Rep Leech (R-Iowa). He wanted
to pass the bill without hearings.  Rep. Hamilton (D- Ind) raised
questions about passing a bill that the foreign affairs committee had
not considered nor voted on.  The bill provides for $30 million
appropriations to be paid to holocaust survivors in the US.  Hamilton
questioned whether this was to be an annual appropriation and whether
this was the beginning of a new massive federal program.  Hamilton
stated that he was aware that the bill had be drafted by outside
special interest groups.  Mr. Leech responded that special interest
groups had not drafted the bill but that he had had great input from
Mr. Stuwart Eisenstat, a Jewish assistant secretary of state. (who
got his instructions from Jewish lobbying groups.)

In any event, the house of representative felt enormous preasure to
pass this bill and were willing to bypass all of the procedural
formalities to satisfy the outside preasure groups who demanded this
legislation.  Some of the appropriations were to go to the U.S.
Holocaust Museum.

Such rapid action on legislation is unprecedented.  This merely is an
example of the tremendous power that jewish lobying groups have over
our government and especially the Congress.

HELEN:
   I think it's important to post responses to this hate filled garbage
because I am afraid that this is the kind of evil that if ignored,
rather than simply going away grows stronger. Ms. Fitt, dear, I suspect
this is a reference to a payment that the US government made as part of
a resolution of the problem of what to do with the large sums of money
place in US banks from Europe in the late 1930's and then turned over to
the US government because it was never claimed. It is not unreasonable
to believe that much of this money belong to people who for one reason
or another did not survive the war. I think some of the money has been
given to US veterans' groups for memorials to the WWII dead. To give the
money to survivors of the Holocaust of any of the picked on groups, also
seem a reasonable distribution this money. Giving some of this money to
a museum that is about the events of that war also makes sense. What
would you do with this money? It does have a slight smell of blood on it
and I don't think either our banks or our government want this kind of
profit.
 
CREA
    Since no specifics were given concerning which particular bill MS
FITT
was referring to, I'm being entirely speculative here.  It seems
entirely
possible that this bill (whichever one it may be) addressed the problem
of
the disposition of the Nazi gold reserves which were confiscated and
divided
among the Allies at the end of WWII.  With the recent publicity over
accountability concerning such things (how much of that gold was
confiscated
from Jews, communists, labor-unionists, gypsies, etc.), I think that I
read
somewhere (and can't lay my finger on the source) that the US had very
graciously agreed to relinquish its claim on a portion of those
assets/monies in hopes that the legitimate owners might be
reimbursed/compensated for their losses.  I do know that the US had
urged
the other Allied Powers to follow its lead in this matter.


Helen:
That may have been what I read too, but it seems to me I saw an article
about basically the American equivalent of the Swiss situation. Of
course, what I read was six months ago, so it wouldn't have been last
week which is the date on MS. Fitt's crap. I pretty sure what I read
included money for memorials for American war dead and the museum. I can
almost guarantee you that whoever wrote the information that Ms. Fitt
got this from had the whole story and deliberately did an edit job in
the hopes of stirring up hatred of the Jews. I honestly can't understand
this level of evil.
I guess I think we are kind of honor bound to oppose it vigorously,
Helen
