Hi Jim,

I saw the "180" around the net but for some reason never clicked on the link. Thanks for posting this and I must say the lack of knowledge about hitler and the nazis is unbelievable but unfortunately not surprising.

The answers to whether they would bury people alive was shocking and raises serious questions about the morality and choices people make. The inclusion of abortion into the equation had amazing results and you could see the people incapable of giving logical responses.

What I found amazing was that when asked to finish the question "killing a baby in the womb is OK when......." they couldn't finish the sentence. And not one said when it was for the health of the mother. I hope the change of heart people had about abortion wasn't only momentary but will truly have a lasting effect. Knowing how fickle people are with very short attention spans I have my doubts but sincerely hope I'm wrong.

Great video.

Shalom,

Peter

Hello Peter,

Thanks for your reply, which I agree with by the way.

I had intended to post a forward with this originaly but my hyperactivity got the best of me and I hit the post button on my way to a shutdown. Then decided it needed no forward or introduction.

I will say that I bet this movie can have you change your mind in 33 minutes. If not then, I am so sorry for you and yours.

Thanks for coming in and posting again, Peter.

Jim

Portland police captain who put up memorial plaques to Nazi soldiers now providing bureau leadership training

Published: Thursday, March 29, 2012, 9:21 PM Updated: Thursday, March 29, 2012, 9:46 PM


View full sizeCapt. Mark Kruger of the Portland Police Bureau recently was tapped to provide leadership training to command staff. Two years ago, an internal affairs investigation found he brought "discredit and disgrace upon the Bureau" when he nailed "memorial plaques" of five Nazi soldiers to a tree on Rocky Butte Park. A Portland police captain who was suspended less than two years ago for bringing "discredit and disgrace upon the bureau and the city" was tapped this year to provide leadership training to command staff.

Assistant Chief Larry O'Dea, who oversees the bureau's operations branch, asked Capt. Mark Kruger to develop a training course called, "Leadership and the Resolution of Common Tactical Problems."

Kruger provided the training to all bureau command staff, including sergeants, lieutenants and commanders. Two weeks ago, he also provided the training to North Precinct staff.

Kruger's training focused on "common tactical problems and the role leadership plays," according to the police bureau's response to a written public information request.

The Oregonian filed a request for information on what Kruger's training class was called on March 9, and it took the bureau more than two weeks to respond.

Some officers have privately questioned the choice, considering his background.

When asked why the bureau chose Kruger to lead the training, O'Dea said in a written response, "because he has developed an expertise in the role leadership plays in solving common tactical problems ...Captain Kruger's work in this area has made the Bureau's response to tactical incidents and people in crisis better and safer."

O'Dea added that his class has received "excellent peer reviews."

In late November 2010, Chief Mike Reese announced he was suspending Kruger for 80 hours without pay and ordered him to take "Tools for Tolerance" training because he had erected a public tribute to five Nazi-era German soldiers at a city park while employed by the Police Bureau.

An internal affairs investigation found Kruger brought "discredit and disgrace upon the Bureau and the City," when Kruger nailed "memorial plaques" of five Nazi soldiers to a tree on the east side of Rocky Butte Park sometime between 1999 and 2001.

Kruger was a Portland officer at the time, but was not on duty when he erected the plaques as a shrine. Kruger called the memorial "Ehrenbaum" or "Honor Tree."

The chief found Kruger violated a bureau directive on professional conduct, and Portland city code, which says no person shall attach anything to property in a city park.

In his disciplinary letter, Reese wrote that Kruger's conduct and the publicity from the plaques "raise legitimate questions about your ability to be effective in your job."

The chief said he expected Kruger never to engage in conduct that "denigrates others or their differences" on duty or off duty, and that he participate in a "mentorship arrangement" that the chief and mayor had not defined.

Kruger wrote a letter of apology to the chief, the bureau, the City Council and community. He described himself as a European and military history buff, but denied any admiration for Nazis, and said he had no knowledge that one of the officers he honored was involved in war crimes.

Book Description

December 15, 2011
The History of the American Left; The Latest Release February 25, 2012. This is the First Version that is Complete and Unabridged. First Edition. This version now contains all three books in their First Edition... Book One: The Origins of the American Left. Book Two: The Pterodactyl Hatches, and Book Three: The Shadow of the Wind.

It was the best government ever devised by man. There were no political parties. The losing candidate in a presidential election became the automatic vice president. And no one in government ever dared to speak of anything but Freedom and what was best for each of the sovereign states. The general government was as good a servant as there ever was. But then there arose certain who wished to see the federal government become the master, and no longer the servant of the people. To vote themselves largesse from the common purse at the expense of the residue. To have a permanent adversarial and malcontented national party which would continually chafe at the Constitution, its limitations, and its laws preventing monarchy, socialism, and empire. To force the country to live by its socialist opinions, and its agenda, however deranged and unorthodox these opinions
might become.

These people would become known as the American Left.

America today has two major political 'parties' which seem to overpower and
control the political landscape of our government. They call themselves by the names of Democrat and Republican. They believe that they fall somewhere along a linear viewpoint that has one side, the Democrats, to the left, and the other side, the Republicans, to a right. There does not seem to be a centrist viewpoint in North America, at all. There is certainly no party which aligns itself as such, nor is there any other political party even mentioned with respect to the elections each year.
But where did these two major political parties come from? Who are they, and why do they completely control our political futures?

It is often said that we should never discuss nor argue either religion or politics in polite society. Yet, while religion should be a personal thing, the concept of politics affects us all, as a group. Why, then, should we not discuss where this creature came from, and why it sounds so radically hostile and alien to the soothing platitudes and forthright dignity found in the United States Constitution?

The truth is this; the rise of the American Left brought politics to We the People, and cast an evil shadow on this nation, one which would tear us in half, over and over again. One which now keeps us torn in half, to this very moment.

Let us now explore the origins of this concept, and what we might do to set matters aright, in the future. The founders did know of this possible problem, and feared it greatly, even in their day. Perhaps they may yet have the sound advice that we need to finally, at long last, 'preserve this union of states' from such a division...

It is a fairly simple and straightforward look at something that has never been done before; that is, to show just how the American Left started the political party system in this country. The reader will want to read each of these excellent sources that are mentioned herein, for the full story...

The purpose of The History of the American Left is to give the basic information on the history of the American Left, inspire an interest into the study of real American History, and to link the Hamilton era with the Henry Clay/ Lincoln era, all the way into the modern era, as a fairly competent overview of American socialism, and its agenda, as well as its incumbent evils.

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of Ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." Winston Churchill

Do these words still ring true or have you done a 180?
