with Hitler, now makes vaccine passports

app and shares data between governments, health care providers, life science
organizations, individuals, food supply chains and global financial systems

the Nazi regime in its efforts to eradicate Jews. Without its information

scale he was able to
At the time
of Hitler’s rise to power, the world was unaware that massively organized
information capabilities had emerged to become a means of social control and
weapon of war. Today, we cannot be accused of not understanding that massive
data collection can be used to manipulate societies across the globe, and must
look to history to see how personal data can be misused
It would be
naïve to think that digital vaccine certificates, tied to our biometric IDs,
banking, credit histories, health and food allocation data could not end up
being used as a tool for social control and the destruction of certain groups
of people
In a March
28, 2021, interview with Fox News' Steve Hilton, former Clinton adviser and
author Naomi Wolf warned that mandatory COVID-19 passports will spell the
"end of human liberty in the West":
"'Vaccine
passport' sounds like a ne thing if you don't understand what those platforms
can do," she said. "I'm [the] CEO of a tech company, I understand
what these platforms can do. It is not about the vaccine, it's not about the
virus, it's about your data.
Once this
rolls out, you don't have a choice about being part of the system. What people
have to understand is that any other functionality can be loaded onto that
platform with no problem at all. It can be merged with your Paypal account,
with your digital currency.
Microsoft
is already talking about merging it with payment plans. Your network can be
sucked up. It geolocates you everywhere you go. Your credit history can be
included. All of your medical and health history can be included.
This has
already happened in Israel, and six months later, we're hearing from activists
that it's a two-tiered society and that basically, activists are ostracized and
surveilled continually. It is the end of civil society, and they are trying to
roll it out around the world.
It is
absolutely so much more than a vaccine pass … I cannot stress enough that it
has the power to turn off your life, or to turn on your life, to let you engage
in society or be marginalized."
The
Forgotten History of IBM
Wolf also
points out the horrific history of IBM, whose Digital Health Pass will tie our
biometric IDs to our health data through its smartphone app. This "health
pass" will then grant or deny us access to public spaces and events, based
on our vaccination status.
This is
essentially the modern-day version of the punch card system — the forerunner to
digital entry on computers — that IBM developed for the Nazi regime, which
allowed them to create a census of Jews and other undesirables, who could then
be identified, tracked and sorted into groups slated for incarceration or
extermination.
In no
uncertain terms, IBM's technology facilitated the Third Reich's genocide of the
Jewish nation, and IBM leadership aided and abetted the Nazi's reign of terror
with full knowledge of what it was doing.
While it's
hard to understand how a company playing such an integral role in genocide was
allowed to survive past the end of the war, it's even harder to fathom why it
would be entrusted to create the same kind of system decades later.
You don't
need a tinfoil hat to wonder whether IBM might have been purposely chosen for
the task of creating a "health pass" system, for the simple reason
that the purpose of the system itself is near-identical to that deployed in
Nazi Germany. IBM also has a relationship with the CIA, which has a history of
mind control abuses and assassination programs.
IBM Played
Strategic Role in the Holocaust
IBM's
connection to the Third Reich is no secret, and IBM has never denied even the
most incriminating details of its involvement in the holocaust. In 2001, Edwin
Black, a historian and investigative author, published the book "IBM and
the Holocaust," in which he detailed the company's pivotal role in this
criminal tragedy.
The book
was based on documentation obtained from archives in seven different countries.
In 2012, Black obtained another cache of correspondence that revealed just how
much IBM knew about what was going on in the Nazi concentration camps. In a
February 2012 article in HuffPost, Black wrote:
"Newly-released
documents expose more explicitly the details of IBM's pivotal role in the
Holocaust — all six phases: identification, expulsion from society, confiscation,
ghettoization, deportation, and even extermination.
Moreover,
the documents portray with crystal clarity the personal involvement and
micro-management of IBM president Thomas J. Watson in the company's co-planning
and co-organizing of Hitler's campaign to destroy the Jews …"
The fact
that Watson received a 1% commission on all business prots made from the
company's business with the Nazis may help explain his eagerness to take on
such a hands-on role in this gruesome business. Black continues:
"The
new 'expanded edition' [of 'IBM and the Holocaust'] contains 32 pages of
never-before-published internal IBM correspondence, State Department and
Justice Department memos, and concentration camp documents that graphically
chronicle IBM's actions and what they knew during the 12-year Hitler regime …
Among the
newly-released documents and archival materials are secret 1941 correspondence
setting up the Dutch subsidiary of IBM to work in tandem with the Nazis,
company President Thomas Watson's personal approval for the 1939 release of
special IBM alphabetizing machines to help organize … the deportation of Polish
Jews, as well as the IBM Concentration Camp Codes including IBM's code for
death by Gas Chamber.
Among the
newly published photos of the punch cards is the one developed for the
statistician who reported directly to Himmler and Eichmann."
IBM Guilty
of Genocide
As
explained by Black, the population census and identification of Jews were
managed by IBM directly, at its New York headquarters, and later through
subsidiaries in Germany, Poland, Holland, France, Switzerland and other
European countries. IBM headquarters also directed the activities of a Dutch
subsidiary charged with identifying and liquidating Jews in Holland.
"Particularly
powerful are the newly-released copies of the IBM concentration camp
codes," Black writes. "IBM maintained a customer site … in virtually
every concentration camp to sort or process punch cards and track prisoners.
The codes show IBM's numerical designation for various camps …
Various
prisoner types were reduced to IBM numbers, with 3 signifying homosexual, 9 for
anti-social, and 12 for Gypsy. The IBM number 8 designated a Jew. Inmate death
was also reduced to an IBM digit: 3 represented death by natural causes, 4 by
execution, 5 by suicide, and code 6 designated 'special treatment' in gas
chambers.
IBM
engineers had to create Hollerith codes to differentiate between a Jew who had
been worked to death and one who had been gassed, then print the cards, configure
the machines, train the staff, and continuously maintain the fragile systems
every two weeks on site in the concentration camps."
A
particularly noteworthy memo came from the U.S. Justice Department, which post-
war launched a federal investigation into IBM's relationship with the Hitler
regime. The memo, written by Howard J. Carter, the chief investigator of the
Economic Warfare Section to his superiors, read:
"What
Hitler has done to us through his economic warfare, one of our own American
corporations has also done ... Hence IBM is in a class with the Nazis … The
entire world citizenry is hampered by an international monster."
Black adds:
"It is
important to remember that Thomas Watson and his corporate behemoth were guilty
of genocide. The Treaty on Genocide, Article 2, denes genocide as 'acts
committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical,
racial, or religious group.'
In Article
3, the treaty states that among the 'acts [that] shall be punishable,' are the
ones in subsection (e), that is 'complicity in genocide.'
As for who
shall be punished, the Treaty species the perpetrators in Article 4: 'Persons
committing genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in Article 3 shall be
punished, whether they are constitutionally responsible rulers, public officials,
or private individuals.' International Business Machines, and its president
Thomas J. Watson, committed genocide by any standard."
Massively
Organized Information as a Means of Social Control
As noted in
Black's introduction to his book, "IBM and the Holocaust: The Strategic
Alliance between Nazi Germany and America's Most Powerful Corporation," at
the time of Hitler's rise to power, the world was unaware that "massively
organized information" had "emerged to become a means of social
control, a weapon of war, and a roadmap for group destruction."
Today, we
cannot be accused of not understanding that massive data collection can be and
is being used to manipulate societies across the globe.
Therefore,
it would be insanely naïve to think that digital vaccine certificates, tied to
our biometric IDs, banking, credit histories and health data would not end up
being used as a tool for social control and a weapon for group destruction.
As Black
points out, were it not for IBM and its information technology, Hitler, like
other tyrants before him, would not have been nearly as successful in his plan
to eradicate the Jews. Hitler also received help from other unexpected
quarters:
"In
the upside-down world of the Holocaust, dignified professionals were Hitler's
advance troops. Police officials disregarded their duty in favor of protecting
villains and persecuting victims.
Lawyers
perverted concepts of justice to create anti-Jewish laws. Doctors deled the art
of medicine to perpetrate ghastly experiments and even choose who was healthy
enough to be worked to death — and who could be cost- effectively sent to the
gas chamber," Black writes.
"Scientists
and engineers debased their higher calling to devise the instruments and
rationales of destruction. And statisticians used their little known but powerful
discipline to identify the victims, project and rationalize the benefits of
their destruction, organize their persecution, and even audit the efficiency of
genocide."
Will You
Allow Yourself To Be Turned Into a Monster ?
Eighteenth-century
Irish philosopher and statesman Edmund Burke once said, "The only thing
necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Put
another way, good people need to gather their wherewithal and refuse to follow
instructions they suspect to be harmful or know will lead to evil ends.
Unfortunately,
as demonstrated in the 1962 Milgram Experiment, featured in an internet blog
titled "Will You Obey the Criminal Authoritarians ? "most people
simply follow orders when given by a perceived authority. "I was just
following orders" was indeed a hallmark excuse during the Nuremberg Trials
that followed the end of World War II.
That excuse
won't suffice this time around, so just about everyone, at this point, probably
needs to engage in some preemptive internal refection to orient their ethical
compass in preparation for what might come next.
I have no
doubt that the months and years ahead will test your ethics and humanity, and
having a clear picture of recent history — how the greatest genocide in modern
history was actually implemented and carried out using information technology —
can be a valuable guide that can help you sidestep serious mistakes in
judgment.
The Central
Role of Information Technology in the Holocaust
In his book
introduction, Black summarizes the key role of IBM's information technology in
the holocaust:
"When
Hitler came to power, a central Nazi goal was to identify and destroy Germany's
600,000 Jews. To Nazis, Jews were not just those who practiced Judaism, but
those of Jewish blood, regardless of their assimilation, intermarriage,
religious activity, or even conversion to Christianity.
Only after
Jews were identified could they be targeted for asset confiscation,
ghettoization, deportation, and ultimately extermination. To search generations
of communal, church, and governmental records all across Germany — and later
throughout Europe — was a cross-indexing task so monumental, it called for a
computer. But in 1933, no computer existed.
When the
Reich needed to mount a systematic campaign of Jewish economic
disenfranchisement and later began the massive movement of European Jews out of
their homes and into ghettos, once again, the task was so prodigious it called
for a computer. But in 1933, no computer existed.
When the
Final Solution sought to efficiently transport Jews out of European ghettos
along railroad lines and into death camps, with timing so precise the victims
were able to walk right out of the boxcar and into a waiting gas chamber, the
coordination was so complex a task, this too called for a computer. But in
1933, no computer existed.
However,
another invention did exist: the IBM punch card and card sorting system — a
precursor to the computer. IBM, primarily through its German subsidiary, made
Hitler's program of Jewish destruction a technologic mission the company
pursued with chilling success.
IBM
Germany, using its own staff and equipment, designed, executed, and supplied
the indispensable technologic assistance Hitler's Third Reich needed to
accomplish what had never been done before — the automation of human
destruction …
I was
haunted by a question whose answer has long eluded historians. The Germans
always had the lists of Jewish names. Suddenly, a squadron of grim- faced SS
would burst into a city square and post a notice demanding those listed
assemble the next day at the train station for deportation to the East. But how
did the Nazis get the lists? For decades, no one has known. Few have asked.
The answer:
IBM Germany's census operations and similar advanced people counting and
registration technologies. IBM was founded in 1898 by German inventor Herman
Hollerith as a census tabulating company. Census was its business. But when IBM
Germany formed its philosophical and technologic alliance with Nazi Germany,
census and registration took on a new mission.
IBM Germany
invented the racial census — listing not just religious affiliation, but
bloodline going back generations. This was the Nazi data lust. Not just to
count the Jews — but to identify them.
People and
asset registration was only one of the many uses Nazi Germany found for
high-speed data sorters. Food allocation was organized around databases,
allowing Germany to starve the Jews.
Slave labor
was identified, tracked, and managed largely through punch cards. Punch cards
even made the trains run on time and cataloged their human cargo. German
Railway … dealt directly with senior management in Berlin. Dehomag maintained
punch card installations at train depots across Germany, and eventually across
all Europe."
Using a
mere 2,000 precomputer automatic tabulators, the Third Reich was able to efficiently
identify, sort, track and catch Jews of every stripe in multiple countries. Now
fast-forward to today, where virtually every person on the planet has had their
personal data siphoned off, hour by hour, day by day, year by year.
Decades'
worth of data is catalogued and cross-tabulated in ways we probably cannot even
imagine. How efficient do you reckon a modern-day holocaust by would-be
dictators might be, using the technologies of today? I'll leave that for you to
ponder.
IG Farben,
Another Genocide Enabler
So far, no
Big Tech company has vowed to ban their technologies from being used in an
attempt to repeat the Holocaust, and that includes IBM, which played a central
role in it.
In a 2002
Village Voice article, Black addressed this shortcoming, pointing out that
while IBM has refused to discuss its role in Hitler's regime, other companies,
such as the German media conglomerate Bertelsmann and Ford Motor have at least
had the couth to correct their company histories, admitting to (and apologizing
for) sponsoring Hitler.
While
technology played a determining role in the Holocaust, leaders in the chemical
and pharmaceutical industry were also working with Hitler. One of the most
prominent ones was the German chemical and drug company IG Farben, which had a
factory complex near Monowitz (the slave labor camp at Auschwitz) and actually
housed the IBM facilities there.
IG Farben
used slave labor from the Monowitz camp and IBM's technology to keep track of
them. "The Monowitz systems were customized for the specific coding Farben
needed to process the thousands of slave workers who labored and died
there," Black explains. Auschwitz archivist Piotr Setkiewicz further told
Black:
"The
Hollerith once at IG Farben in Monowitz used the IBM machines as a system of
computerization of civil and slave labor resources. This gave Farben the
opportunity to identify people with certain skills, primarily skills needed for
the construction of certain buildings in Monowitz."
Of course,
IG Farben was also in the business of pharmaceuticals, and prisoners from
Auschwitz were used for horrific medical experiments at the company's facility.
While IG
Farben executives were put on trial after the war, their sentences were light.
As just one example, Fritz Ter Meer, a high-ranking executive charged with
slavery and mass medical murder, served just three of his seven-year sentence,
and after release became chairman of Bayer's advisory board.
Some have
speculated that the reason they got off so lightly was because of their
connections to other powerful figures, such as John Rockefeller, founder of
Standard Oil and one of the masterminds behind the creation of Big Pharma.
(There was actually a Standard Oil IG Farben company. Without the fossil fuels
of Standard Oil, IG Farben couldn't have made synthetic fertilizers or fuels.)
As noted by Jon Rappoport:
"You
could say that, after the War, the emerging global pharmaceutical colossus was
a reincarnation of the Farben pattern: Profit before safety; lethal medical
experimentation beyond any legal limit; the use of drugs/vaccines as a means of
control."
IBM
Partners with Moderna
IBM has now
partnered with COVID-19 vaccine maker Moderna and, together, they are producing
digital COVID-19 vaccine passes to track vaccinated individuals in real time. A
pilot program has already been rolled out in the state of New York.
IBM and
Moderna will "explore technologies, including artificial intelligence,
blockchain and hybrid cloud" to "support smarter COVID-19 vaccine
management," according to a press release. In short, the partnership is
aimed at facilitating data sharing between "governments, health care
providers, life science organizations and individuals," but this data is
not restricted to health data.
As reported
by Raul Diego in a March 10, 2021, Mint Press News article, other
"multiple blockchain ledger applications" being leveraged include
IBM's Blockchain Transparent Supply and Food Trust services, which shares food
sourcing and supply-chain data, and its Blockchain World Wire cross-border
payment processing service.
Considering
how similar kinds of data (but far less voluminous) were used to carry out
Hitler's genocide, we really need to start thinking about how all of this data
collecting and sharing today might be misused. While not discussed much, the
collection of genetic data is part and parcel of this program as well, which
opens all sorts of unpleasant possibilities.
IBM Is a
Powerful Presence in Law Enforcement as Well
Already, in
Israel, the requirement of vaccine certificates has resulted in the creation of
a two-tier society where unvaccinated individuals are ostracized and forbidden
from entering certain public venues such as bars, restaurants, hotels and
public exercise facilities.
Although
right now in the U.S., vaccine passports are voluntary on a federal level,
several counties and states have already either rolled out their own regional
vaccine passports, or are considering them. IBM is also looking at its health
pass as a model for what it predicts will be mandatory in the future.
According
to IBM's U.S. public and federal market leader, Steve LaFleche, the passes will
cease to be voluntary "once government guidelines and regulations force
the private sector to enforce their implementation." As noted by Diego:
"Conveniently,
IBM's strong presence in the law enforcement space, as one of the largest
providers of digital profiling technologies and AI policing systems in the
world, may also help with any obstacles Moderna may face among vaccine-
hesitant populations."
When you
look at the big picture, IBM is the best and worst candidate for the job of
creating vaccine passports. It has a history of enabling genocide by misusing
census data (which was its original business) and creating technologies to
identify, track and capture individuals based on specific parameters such as
bloodlines and religious affiliation.
They also
used their technology to identify areas of food production where Jews lived in
order to starve them, and now they're planning to leverage their Blockchain
Transparent Supply and Food Trust services that shares food sourcing and
supply-chain data, and its Blockchain World Wire cross-border payment
processing service. How might all of that be misused? “Only through exposing
and examining what really occurred can the world of technology finally adopt
the well-worn motto: Never Again. ~ Edwin Black”
To get an
idea, simply look at the services they rendered Nazi Germany. When you dissect
IBM's history and compare it to its current role in the COVID-19 pandemic, it's
virtually impossible to not reach the conclusion that they're perfectly
equipped to carry out a awless repeat of the Holocaust, but at an unimaginable
scale, and with unfathomable efficiency.
The only
difference is they would not be helping to hunt a specific national, religious
or racial prole. To start, they'll hunt down vaccine dissenters. After that,
there's no telling what the target group might be. But whatever it is, they'll
be able to identify and track them down with near-effortless ease.
As noted by
Black in the introduction to his book, "Only through exposing and
examining what really occurred can the world of technology finally adopt the
well-worn motto: Never Again." We need to do that, and come to a global
consensus that we're simply not going to allow a repeat of history.
One small
bright spot amid all this darkness is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who March 29,
2021, announced he will issue an executive order forbidding local governments
and businesses from requiring vaccine certificates.
"It's completely
unacceptable for either the government or the private sector to impose upon you
the requirement that you show proof of vaccine to just simply participate in
normal society," he said.
Although a
federal judge blocked DeSantis' executive order in August 2021, he's calling on
the state legislature to create a measure that will allow him to sign it into
law. Hopefully, such laws will be put into place, and other states will follow
suit.
IBM and
Bill Gates
In case you
are unaware, Bill Gates in the early '80s was responsible for providing IBM
with the DOS operating system for its then-new personal computers, which
heralded in the massive explosion of computer technology. I remember it quite
well. I got my first IBM clone PC around 1985.
The reason why
this is important is that, eventually, computer hardware became a commodity and
computer software became the source of most of the technology revenues. Gates'
nefarious strategies eventually led him to become the richest man in the world.
That mantle now shifts between Jeff Bezos of Amazon fame and Elon Musk, CEO of
Tesla Motors.
However,
the current market cap of IBM is $110 billion while the market cap of Microsoft
is 10 times that at over $1 trillion. So, while IBM has a clearly sordid
history going back to World War II, the likely more serious threat is Gates
himself, who is largely responsible for engineering and promoting from this
entire COVID wealth transfer play through his strategic partnering with the
World Health Organization, as we have carefully articulated in previous
articles.
It is
interesting that IBM is repeating its egregious contribution to the
extermination of millions of Jews in Germany, but that may pale to the likely
unintended consequences of Gates' plans, which will probably far exceed the
lives lost in Nazi Germany. We need to do everything we can to make sure he
doesn't succeed. Too harsh? Then I suggest you review Gary Barnett's article on
Lew Rockwell, where he states:
"The
extermination of societies through genocide and democide is achieved in many
ways, from war, forced starvation, psychological destruction, mass
imprisonment, and sterilization; from chemical agents, bombs, nuclear weapons,
and now the killing will be due to 'vaccination.'
Surely I
jest you say, but I do not, as the indiscriminate killing of hundreds of
millions or billions of people around the world at the hands of the powerful is
sought.
Some call
it population control, some call it depopulation, but it is simply planned mass
murder to benefit the agendas of the few. The tool being used to accomplish
this goal is the untested, experimental, mind-altering, gene- changing, toxic
poison called the Covid-19 'vaccine,' and it is the newest weapon of mass
destruction.
Many are
having horrible effects due to these injections, and many others are dying.
Some are dying immediately after taking this shot, some are dying after a few
hours or days, others after a few weeks, and the long-term effects at this
point are virtually unknown. (In nearly every case the media denies the
association.)
It is as if
people are deaf, dumb, and blind when it comes to logic, as this falsely
claimed action called COVID that supposedly has a survival rate of 99.98%, is
being treated as a deadly pandemic, and the 'cure' recommended is a 'vaccine'
that kills many more than the purposely created fake virus scam.
