Well well well ... Lucky Lindy ...

Well, I was first informed of his NAZI ties back inl the late 80s ...
another hero ... well not any more I guess?

Ok, Thursday night, the History Channel will be doing a very indepth
program about Lindy.

What I already know and expect to see based on the History Channel
commercials is the following:

Lindbergh was a NAZI sympathizer, as was Henry Ford who received a
special citizenship medal/award from Adolph Hitler.

Lindbergh spied on Robert H. Goddard and passed the information
directly to NAZI and German scientists, most notably, Werner von Braun
who himself was a member of the NAZI party, but because we needed von
Braun's knowlege, operation "Paper Clip" shielded this information from
the public ... someday, the TRUTH will be told ... could one of the
most famous of NAZI weapons be the result of a Jewish man's research in
the New Mexico desert ... hmmm, I guess there are those who wouldn't
want that to get out either ...

The Lindbergh baby kidknapping wasn't just a plan to get money from
Lindy, but a Jewish attempt at retribution for his helping of the
NAZIs.  Or could the killing have been a way for  sinister NAZI powers
to send a message to Lindy?  I hope to learn more of this possibility
when I watch the program.

And Lucky had a SECRET Aryan [sic] family that was meant to keep his
blood pure and safe in the Third Reich [sic].  Aryan is bullshit, as
there are only 3 homonid racial groups on planet Earth ... Mongoloid
(Asians), Negroid (Africans), and Caucizoid (Europeans).  From these 3,
all the world's ethnic groups are derived ... but you all know this, so
I am being loquacious.

Well if you want to learn more, tune into the History Channel 1/26/2006
(tomorrow Thursday night) and learn about ol' Lucky Lindy.  I hope that
someday, they do a piece about von Braun.

Don't know ... guess you will have to open your eyes and ears and watch
the History Channel tomorrow night.

I'll have to pass. There seems to be a movement lately to rewrite the
history of just about everything, from the dawn of man, to the holocaust
didn't happen, to we didn't go to the moon. Neil Armstrong and 6 million
Jews would disagree with them. (I'm not affiliated with NASA or Israel.)

Besides, who has time to go back to school and relearn it all?

I'm with you, Randy.

I don't care if Lindbergh had a furry tail and a third eye hidden under
his cap, as it takes nothing from his accomplishments as an aviator.  

Some people have some sort of "need" to run down anyone in the past who
has accomplished something.  Can't accomplish anything themselves so
it's "hey, Louis Pasteur was a communist and a gay basher and an
alcoholic...don't believe me?  Then prove me wrong".  Bunch of Geraldo
worshipping,  Hoffa's tomb lurking, 15 minute of fame grabbing wannabes.

Wonder if Geraldo has been to see Al Capone's vault lately.

Really .. and you are the guy who is posting the History of Rocketry
all over the net ... well you will have to believe me when I say he was
Jewish or you will have to do a little research :)  This time, I am NOT
going to just hand you the links and info :P

P.s. Thousands of Jews canceled their Time magazine subscriptions a few
years back when one of the articles wasn't very flattering to Robert
Hutchings Goddard ... that will give you a hint ... and Oi Veah .. I am
NOT Jewish :)  But wouldn't mind if I was :)

  He wasn't.  He was Episcopalian.  Not that it makes any difference one way or
the other.

Tom the Canuck - 28 Jan 2006 04:56 GMT
Oh sh.t! Now I am scared. I come from Estonian ancestry.
Do you now hate me too? We are all immigrants to this
continent who came from Europe. Think about the bad things
we did to the people who lived here first before we arrived.
Does a gun make us superior to those with bows and arrows?
Technology should not interfere with basic human interactions.
Look, I don't care if you are white, black, purple or green. Does
the colour of the skin prejudge you in the way you think of others? I hope
not, because if you did I would simply say open your narrow minded tunnel
vision
and look at humanity as a whole. Why should I be 'like you'? I am who I am
and do what I can for my fellow man. In my opinion, you sound like an
outdated
racist pig. Please open your mind to new things. By the way, I am an
atheist. Do
you hate me even more now? Christian teachings are good, just don't follow
one of
those organized religious cults (you know, Catholic, Protestant, Baptist,
etc.)
I think they say one thing and do another. From history, the first 'troops'
that went
on the Crusade slaughtered an entire village of Christians. I guess they
looked Muslem
to the attackers. Yup, killed everybody, looted all the good stuff. Should
we be proud
of our ancestors for their acts of barbarism in the name of God? Not me.
Just open your eyes and see the truth around you. Remember Jim and Tammy
Baker?
Now that was a good scam to get money from the ignorant populace.

"Send me $1 and I will save your soul. I will do nothing except collect all
the money
I can and go to my favourite Steak House and have a fine meal on you"
Are there more like you? Y'all kin send me $1 an ah is goin' ta be rich!

Tom-
   At first I had my doubts...I thought everybody was to rough on you.
But you continued to rattle on, and your rhetoric came off more and
more as being decidedly elitist. My doubts have been overturned...you
ARE a total shitbag.

I don't understand why he quoted me in his reply.

Well, I didn't really understand the reply, either, and I am not wasting
the CPU time to decipher it.

Nothing that Goddard was doing was considered to be classified.  None
of his research was government sponsored.  In fact, the US Government
considered Goddard to be a nut case and was happy that he was pretty
much kept to himself in New Mexico.

Any scientist who wanted to could speak to Goddard at any time without
having to get any sort of permission from the government.  Goddard was
quite secretive about his work (dare I say paranoid?) but he did share
with a number of German scientists prior to the war, including von
Braun and Willy Ley.  They were the only people taking him seriously.
America generally ridiculed Goddard.

As far as being a member of the Nazi party, a lot of good people found
themselves in the Nazi party whether they wanted to or not.  It was not
exactly optional.  Oscar Schindler was a member IIRC.

Now be a good fellow and take your meds.

  An interesting book that I've been reading lately is "Rocket Man: Robert H.
Goddard and the Birth of the Space Age" by David A. Clary.  Most of his early
funding did come from the government, the military and the Smithsonian.  I think
it would be incorrect to say that the government considered him a nutcase.
Those few people who understood what he was doing knew he was on the right track
to some real advances.  One of his problems was that he was a dreamer.  His goal
was interplanetary spaceflight, but he was working on the very first small steps
towards this goal.  Thus whenever he was interviewed, and he had a certain
amount of fame in the 20's and was interviewed and quoted quite often, he spoke
about flying to the moon and Mars, etc.  This made his sponsors nervous since
their goals were for him to get a working sounding rocket that they could use to
put some instruments up into the upper atmosphere.

  He was also a bit secretive about his work and was very concerned about other
people stealing it.  As a result he patented a very large number of ideas.  So
while he did publish much of his work I think he would have been a bit
close-mouthed if someone had some asking a lot of questions about the details of
his work.

(snipped at the scrotum)

RMR was way more enjoyable before the luney bin lost all their lithium.

Lindberg was a white supremacist, it's been out for years in books. His
Arian roots were there in black and white. Obviously only for those who
could read.  But now the literally challenged can hear it on TV and
WHOA!! It's eye opening stuff.

How about something new, like, maybe something that hasn't hit TV yet
and others may have missed in books?

Guess that won't happen.

Maybe the less read should just talk football.

Exactly.  And not only was Lindy, but the rest of white America, too.
He was outspoken about it then, but that's not what got him in trouble.
His adamant anti-war position was what put him in disfavor with the
public and Roosevelt.  But lots of folks held his racist beliefs back then.

It's nothing to be proud of.  It was a commonly held position 60+ years
ago, and nothing we do now can change it, so we shouldn't be ashamed
either.  We simply learn from it and make tomorrow better.

On the plus side, he eventually got out of the doghouse a bit.  He never
regained his colonel rank in the military, but worked as an advisor in
the Pacific where, rumor has it, he got more than one enemy kill flying
P-38's.  His work there teaching pilots how to conserve fuel enabled
them to nearly double their range.
