HITLER'S PLAN TO ATOM BOMB NEW YORK

In 1944, the Nazi top brass believed that a rudimentary nuclear weapon might soon be within their scientists' grasp. Hitler, desperate to turn the tide of the war, hatched a secret plan for an aircraft that would usher in the age of global terrorism – the 'Amerika Bomber'. This would deliver the hoped-for 'wonder weapon' directly on to the biggest target of them all: New York City.

Romanticists Overlook Allende's Many Faults

It is probably appropriate that on the 30th anniversary of the coup that deposed Salvador Allende, Chile's president should wax romantically on his late predecessor at the head of the country's socialist party. (Unless otherwise noted, all quotes in this piece are from the 30th anniversary speech in Santiago.) It may not, however, be very truthful. Recalling that era in an interview two years earlier, the same Ricardo Lagos admitted that "we put the interests of the party before the interests of the people". In conversations that the New York Times' Clifford Krauss conducted with only members of Allende's party, it emerged again and again that they implicitly blamed the party’s radicalism for Chile’s hyperinflation, shortages, and economic collapse in 1972 and 1973, conceding that a crucial reason for the coup was the Socialists' encouragement of peasant land invasions and worker takeovers of factories, going as far as calling on military units to mutiny. In other words, the Marxist leader, like so many others, was preparing a worker's paradise.

Crimes of Communism Against Ukraine And Her People

(Introduction: In 1959, the population of the USSR for the first time heard the official acknowledgement of Josef Stalin's crimes against his own people. Speaking at the historic 20th Congress of the CPSU (Communist Party of the Soviet Union), its then General Secretary Mykyta Khruschov revealed the truth about his predecessor's unjustified genocide targeted at individuals, groups, and entire nations. One of those nations was Ukraine.)

French Resistance

After the war (WWII) many Frenchmen falsely claimed to have had connections to resistance. Some—like Maurice Papon—even manufactured a false resistance past for themselves. Estimates range from 5% of French population to about 200,000 active armed members and possibly ten times that of supporters.
