we punished the nazi's for the way they treated other people. then we copied their laws, and tortures, and buildings.

My question is where are the poor being forced to go? I hear PG county in Maryland is one place. Is this true? I do hate gentrification. I think mixed income neighborhoods are the way to go. I always find it sad that in order for there to be development we are forced to endure gentrification and big box and/or chain stores.

Here are some photos with further examples of the militaristic "guard tower" architectural theme. You can also see this in Southern France, where the inquisition began and entire villages who refused to pay tithes to the church were burned alive. When the church was able to re-assert its authority, it built huge, dense, militaristic structures with tall watch towers. This architecture of occupation can also be seen in the Palestinian territories.



I tried to use the bank ATM, but it was inside the locked building, only accessible till 4 on Saturdays, even with your bank card (apparently).

And Best buy, everything is locked and most employees don't have keys.

One of the most obvious, and ironic, examples of Nazi-type architecture in D.C. is at the WWII memorial.

The World War II memorial was constructed by J.A. Jones/Tompkins Builders, Inc., which is owned by the U.S. subsidiary of Philipp-Holzman AG, a German firm that used slave labor to build Nazi fighter planes during WWII. The firm never paid any restitution to Holocaust survivors.

The monument was designed by Friedrich St. Florian, an Austrian-born architect who used (among other things) caged eagles and wreaths sitting atop stone pillars in the design – identical symbols used in Nazi public plazas by Albert Speer for celebrating German war dead.

This "stripped classicism" (classical designs reduced to structural elements then rendered on a huge scale to overwhelm viewers with spectacle of raw power) was the popular choice for Nazi monuments.

Even the choice of location for the WWII monument – filling the previously open public space between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument – harkens back to the displeasure Nazi architecture had for open spaces that symbolized freedom (the open Mall area in D.C. was seen as a sort of monument representing democratic ideals of openness) and to fill open plazas with these sorts of design work.

That is not the least of those shoppers problems.

If they don't rack up at least $5,000.00 per buying trip on their MASTERace/VISAguest card [at 300% interest] the doors are locked and Zyklon B gas is released from ceiling vents.

Consumerism is a holocaust in action
