African American Inventors IGNORED BY Modern RACIST WHITEY
[quote]Percy Julian came up with a soy protein concoction that
put out gas and oil fires not extinguishable by water.

That same man, Percy Julian, came up with a way to synthesize
cortisone, a sterol that has eased the sufferings of millions.
Prior to his work, sterols cost several hundreds of dollars per
gram; his process brought that cost down to 20 cents per
gram.[/size][/quote]

[quote][color=navy]
In 1935 Frederick McKinley Jones (of the portable air
conditioning unit) invented the first refrigerated truck. He
kept tinkering at his innovation, eventually developing a highly
successful automatic refrigeration system for long-haul
carriers. Prior to Jones' invention, many people were primarily
limited to eating foods grown locally, because perishable goods
could not be efficiently transported over longer
distances.[/color] [/quote]

Dear reader, did you know that many of the ideas made infamous
by Nazi Germany were being taught in Wilhelmine German academia
in 1910? These included Lebensraum (‘living space’) and
Rassenhygiene (racial hygiene) , and the idea that
[size=12pt]handicapped people were worth less than animals.
[/size] War was just an aspect of Darwinian survival of the
fittest. [img width=128

HTML http://i1.wp.com/gas2.org/files/2013/05/stupid.png[/img]
And a few years before 1910 a TRUE BELIEVER in YOU KNOW WHAT
applied Darwin to the Hereros of Africa. The architect of this
mass murder—65,000 of the 80,000 Hereros, Lieutenant-General
Lothar von Trotha (1848–1920) was a virulent white supremacist
who believed in ‘cleansing’ the allegedly less fit.
Because 80% of the Hereros were killed, this is regarded by
historians as the worst genocide in the 20th century. Yet,
you've probably never heard of this "water under the bridge".
GUESS WHY? ;)
A lot that was later (in the NAZI Third Reich) done to the
German "misfits" and later the Jews was PRACTICED first on the
Hereros. Some were killed quickly and some SLOWLY with the
"innovative" introduction of CONCENTRATION CAMPS and medical
experimentation including shipping the skulls of starved to
death Hereros to BIOLOGISTS AND ANTHROPOLOGISTS in Germany for "
evolutionary study". Anything for the advancement of science,
eh?

NOW do you understand that the Mkings are the REALLY WILD EYED
Crazies in our society?
Do you understand the DANGER to civilization that these people
pose who openly state they DO NOT CRY for peoples and warriors
that whitey tried to exterminate as they IGNORE REAL HISTORY and
hem and haw about grand juries and trusting the police in a
pretense of a "measured" approach to society's wrongs?
Do you understand WHY they eschew welfare and helping the poor
and downtrodden in any way shape or form?
Do you FNALLY understand that the LINK to their RELIGION (Social
Darwinism) is the COMMON THREAD in all their cruel and uncaring
mindset presented as "prudent pragmatism"?
I feel sorry for you if you don't. These people are dangerous to
themselves and society.
You have been warned. If you let Social Darwinism in your home,
it will destroy it as it is destroying our country. Have a nice

Darwinism and World War One
[quote][color=maroon]The evolutionary ideas of Charles Darwin
(1809–1882) destructively influenced many of the Western world’s
leaders in the early 20th century. In particular, intellectuals
in Germany were among the earliest to embrace Darwinism
enthusiastically, and to apply its concept of the survival of
the fittest to human society. That is, they applied the subtitle
of On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or
the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life
(1859). The most infamous result of this was the Holocaust,1 but
social Darwinism was also a major influence in the events
leading up to World War One.
In the decades leading up to World War One, intellectuals
embraced Darwinism and its ethical implications as a welcome
alternative to Christian belief and ethics. Ernst Haeckel
(1834–1919), the most famous German Darwinist of the time, and
notorious forger of embryo diagrams,2 believed that evolution
would “bring forth a complete revolution in the entire world
view of humanity.”3 He argued that Darwinism required the
abandonment of Christian morals.
Until the advent of Darwinism, the sanctity of human life was
taken for granted in European law and thought. But many German
intellectuals began to argue that some had a greater right to
life than others, namely, those who are deemed more valuable to
society. This inequality was mainly based on race, but the
Darwinists argued that there were inferior individuals within a
race as well. For instance, zoologist and politician Karl Vogt
(1817–1895) argued that a mentally handicapped child was closer
in value to an ape than to his own parents.4 It should thus not
be surprising that the world’s first eugenics5 society was
founded in Germany, promoting the concept founded by Darwin’s
cousin Francis Galton (1822–1911).6
While the belief in German superiority led the Nazis to
exterminate ‘undesirable’ individuals, during WW1 German
Darwinists used the same idea to justify war on states which
they deemed inferior.
German social Darwinists were enamoured with the vision of the
“master race”, which in their mind was the Nordic or Germanic
race. Eugenicist Alfred Ploetz (1860–1940) coined the term
“racial hygiene” (Rassenhygiene), and later welcomed the Nazis
as the ones who would put this into practice. While the belief
in German superiority led the Nazis to exterminate “undesirable”
individuals, during WW1 German Darwinists used the same idea to
justify war on states which they deemed inferior. They believed
that the destiny of the master race was to dominate or eliminate
“inferior” races, and the most obvious way to accomplish this
was through war. In their view, all races and states were in
competition for survival, and those who would not wage war would
perish.7 In other words “war is inevitable and peace is merely
an armistice in the continuous battle between races and groups
for survival.”8
The concept of Lebensraum or “living space” was one of the
justifications for the Germans in both World Wars to take over
their neighbouring countries. While Germany was not actually
overcrowded, they believed that since one side or the other was
always advancing, “without war, inferior or decaying races would
easily choke the growth of healthy budding elements, and a
universal decadence would follow.”9 Max Weber emphasized this
racial competition:
“Our descendants will not hold us responsible primarily for the
kind of economic organization that we pass on to them, but
rather for the extent of elbow-room [Ellbogenraum], that we
obtain through struggle and leave behind”10
Because of the view of war as an evolutionary instrument, the
German leaders regarded war as a desirable option, even though
they could not be sure of a victory.
Interestingly, German Darwinists were divided about whether war
was beneficial for the master race. Some were pacifists,
including Haeckel, because they believed that war would kill off
mainly the best members of the master race, but anthropologist
Otto Ammon (1842–1916) believed that war was the only way to
test which nation was stronger and to grant victory to the
fittest opponent.11 Of course, there was the problem of
undesirable individuals in the German population as well; Ploetz
suggested sending them to the front lines so they would be
killed before those who were deemed to be more fit.12
Because of this view of war as an evolutionary instrument, the
German leaders regarded war as a desirable option, even though
they could not be sure of a victory. There was also a fatalistic
element; they believed that it was their destiny and that they
were fulfilling their “preordained role in the development of
the world.”13
Some argue that because Darwin did not directly apply the
principles of social Darwinism, the term, and its connection to
evolutionary thought, is invalid. But Darwin himself said that
killing in the animal kingdom was a way for evolution to
progress:
“It may be difficult, but we ought to admire the savage
instinctive hatred of the queen-bee, which urges her to
instantly destroy the young queens her daughters as soon as
born, or to perish herself in the combat; for undoubtedly this
is for the good of the community; and maternal love and maternal
hatred, though the latter fortunately is most rare, is all the
same to the inexorable principle of natural selection.”14
Darwin simply was reluctant to apply this principle to humans,
but the German social Darwinists did not share his
disinclination. While there were other factors that caused World
War 1, the German leadership’s universal belief in social
Darwinism and its anti-Christian ethical system justified their
militarism and made it into a moral good[/color][/quote].

African American Inventors IGNORED BY Modern RACIST WHITEY
[/quote]
Nice list... let me ask a loaded question, who invented the
light bulb? Not the first electric light, but the modern,
screw-in bulb that dominated lighting for over a century.
[/quote]
JD,
Please define "nice list" for me. Does that mean you didn't know
and have incorporated said knowledge in your memory banks so
that you appreciate more the contribution of people of color to
your comfort and will resolve to jump on any asshole that wants
to mock them as being deserving of their routine shafting by our
sick society?
If not, and you feel you have always been objective about their
unfortunate circumstances, then don't bother with trivia
questions about who invented what. During the cold war, the
Russians came up with a lot of "propaganda" saying most of the
key inventions Americans assume were invented HERE were, in
fact, NOT invented here OR by Americans (i.e. WHITEY European
immigrants ;D).
Of course our media mocked the Russians by saying THEY were
claiming to have invented everything from the flush toilet to
the airplane. It turns out that, over all, the Russians WERE
TELLING THE TRUTH (For those who challenge that, school is out.
As Mking ;D says, "feel free to engage in your fantasies if
you wish").
WE were the ones being propagandized by clever fucks who write
our history books and run our media. Sure, the truth is out
there. But it 's So-o-o-o much more comfortable to GROUPTHINK
all the S CUBED USA HYPE we were given since we were knee high
to a grasshopper.
It's even campy to act huffy, arrogant and amused by any claim
that the main export of the USA is S CUBED mendacity in the form
of advertising, propaganda and doubletalk and bombs in the
service of profit over planet and we are about as objective
about people of color as we are on intelligence comparisons
between our children and theirs.
Our government is (and has been for a LONG TIME) a fossil fuel
oligarchy. That is the reason our patent "laws" make any fucking
thing that challenges that hierarchy instantly and legally a
SECRET patent the government will not allow available to the
public. It's ALL ABOUT controlling the energy spigot AND who
lives where. Our patent laws are JOKE. But they keep the evil
fucks in power.
What does that have to do with Blacky and inventions?
EVERYTHING! The Fossil Fuel Oligarchy is RUN by Racist profit
over planet whitey! You never noticed? WHY do you think ALL the
most polluted neighborhoods and "low cost real estate" areas of
this country just HAPPEN to be downstream of toxic coal or
chemical or whatever (insert whitey industry here ;D)?
Do you think that's a COINCIDENCE? Do you think those minorites
just don't know how to prudently pick the place they live? Do
you think that, MAYBE, BEFORE those polluting facilities were
put up next to browny and blacky, the power companies KNEW the
shit they were going to be putting out and STRATEGICALLY made
SURE to locate their power plants so the majority of WHITEYS
would applaud all this ENERGY for our "advanced" industrial
society and be willing to be MILKED 24/7 by the upper crust
WHITEYS that laugh all the way to the bank?
Conspiracy theory or PRUDENT WHITEY PREDATORY CAPITALIST
PREPLANNING? The later, of course. They just "Do what they DO".
:evil4:
And NOW poor and middle class whitey is FINALLY staring to GET
IT on climate and pollution because the predatory capitalist
SEWERS are backing up all over the planet. But Blacky and Browny
has LONG experience with local FUCKED UP POLLUTING CLIMATE
CHANGE as a result of the profit over plant modus operandi.

This is such a GIANT elephant in the PROPAGANDISED WHITEY room
that it's hard to know where to begin. JD, I suggest you perform
a cursory study of power plant siting by utilities in this
country for the last 100 years or so. While you are at it,
study the patent "laws". And thirdly, ask yourself WHY
minorities who had the same or greater knowledge of farming and
animal husbandry after the Civil War were excluded from the
Homestead Act; a PATTERN that repeated itself all the way up to
the PRESENT with "race clauses" (or doubletalk that equates to
the same fucking thing!) on real estate purchases (Don't bother
with the cops and our criminal "justice" system. They don't even
hide how prejudiced they are any longer.).
If you want to have some REAL fun, check out the percentage of
income that minorities pay in all forms of taxes versus whitey.
Boring, I know.

The inventors that are ALLOWED to successfully patent an
invention in our society RARELY make money off of it. It's TPTB
that rake in the cash. And when the inventor happens to be the
WRONG COLOR, they sorta get "missed" in the history books for
whitey AND blacky and browny.
All inventions are FILTERED for the effects on the fossil fuel
oligarchy BEFORE they are approved. The bullshitised history
books are just the final step in this corrupt process that
leaves minorities with the short end of the stick.
Motorized aircraft were invented in Brazil simultaneously (and
without correspondence from the Wrong Brothers!) to the Wright
brothers' successful effort at Kitty Hawk. Bill Gates did not
invent windows software. He stole it. It's the American way.
Consider all the

those who sacrificed for us in wars 24/7 in this country. NOW
consider how racist whiteys ANYWHERE in our country (NOT just
the South!) would have GREAT DIFFICULTY clinging to their racism
when they are being educated on our history if they learned the
TRUTH that their DADDY made it through WWII because a BLACK
inventor came up with "bean soup" for fires that water could not
extinguish.
I GUARANTEE YOU, JD, that if Henry Ford or Thomas Edison had
invented BEAN SOUP, we would HEAR ABOUT IT AND READ ABOUT until
it was drilled into our heads so we would NEVER FORGET such a
great (whitey, of course!) LIFE SAVING INVENTION by a GENIUS

But we don't. And all you can say is, "nice list". Are we

Herero genocide
by Marc Ambler
Like most visitors to Namibia,1 one of the memorable pictures I
carried away was of the noble-looking Herero people. Their
women wear colourful, voluminous Victorian-style dresses and
hats (see p. 55), and the men wear uniforms on ceremonial
occasions. How terribly sad it was to learn that 100 years ago,
their great-grandparents had been the victims of the first
genocide of the 20th century.
During the colonial land-grab of African countries by European
nations after the 1884–85 Berlin Conference,2 Germany annexed
Namibia, then known as South-West Africa. German settlers
quickly ran roughshod over the historical rights and claims of
the Herero tribal inhabitants, and for the next 20 years
plundered their lands, houses and livestock.
Of this period, the Governor, Theodor Leutwein, wrote that the
German settlers had an ‘inborn feeling of belonging to a
superior race’.3 Thus racism was rife. The Herero were
regularly referred to as ‘baboons’; the men were commonly beaten
to death for minor infringements, and the women were made sex
slaves by the soldiers and settlers.
Uprising
HTML http://image.ohmynews.com/down/images/1/internews_180988_1[227456].jpg
Lieutenant-General Lothar von Trotha
Lieutenant-General Lothar von Trotha’s beliefs of racial
superiority led him to contemptuously state: ‘I wipe out
rebellious tribes with streams of blood and streams of money.
Only following this cleansing can something new emerge’. And ‘…
I find it appropriate that the [Herero] nation perishes instead
of infecting our soldiers’.
In these circumstances, it is hardly surprising that an uprising
occurred. On 12 January 1904, fighting broke out between Herero
tribesmen and the settlers, in the town of Okahandja, where
there was a German fort.
The response of the Berlin government to this insurrection by a
colonized people who had dared to resist the might of the German
nation was fast and ruthless. Kaiser Wilhelm II dispatched
14,000 troops to the region under the command of
Lieutenant-General Lothar von Trotha. Von Trotha was renowned
for the ruthless efficiency with which he had helped to suppress
the Boxer Rebellion in China in 1900, and to quash resistance to
his nation’s occupation of German East Africa (today’s Rwanda,
Burundi and Tanzania).
Von Trotha’s written goal was: ‘I believe that the [Herero]
nation as such should be exterminated.’4 He stated: ‘The
exercise of violence and crass terrorism and even with
gruesomeness was and is my policy. I destroy the African tribes
with streams of blood and streams of money. Only following this
cleansing can something new emerge, which will remain.’5
That the German settlers and a high-ranking officer like General
von Trotha would hold to these ‘superior race’,
‘survival-of-the-fittest-through-“cleansing”-of-the-weakest’
views is hardly surprising. Darwin’s On the Origin of Species
(which is subtitled By Means of Natural Selection or the
Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life) had
been translated into German in 1875, and his evolutionary
theories had for decades been avidly promoted to all and sundry
by the popular books and theatrical presentations of Ernst
Haeckel.6 The German nation had also been subjected for many
years to the ‘God-is-dead’ atheism of Nietzsche.7
This, too, was a consequence of Darwinian thought. Nietzsche
believed that Darwinian evolution would eventually produce the
Übermensch, ‘a superman whose distance from the ordinary man was
greater than the distance between man and ape’.8 Then a
‘super-race’ of such beings would impose its will on the weak
and the worthless.
Decades later, Hitler would proclaim the same Darwinist
superiority views to justify his own subjugation of the ‘lesser’
peoples of Europe.9
In the light of this attitude of racial superiority, it is
interesting to compare probably the two most famous documents to
come out of the Herero war. In his infamous Vernichtungsbefehl
(annihilation order), von Trotha stated: ‘[E]very Herero, with
or without a gun, with or without cattle, will be shot. I will
no longer accept women and children, I will drive them back to
their people or I will let them be shot at.’10
The response of the ‘lesser’ people
In contrast, a letter of Herero chief Samuel Maharero to his
people shortly after the outbreak of war11 states that
Englishmen, Boers, missionaries and people of other tribes were
not to be harmed.12 History has shown that both instructions
were diligently carried out. :emthup:
In a decisive battle at Hamakari, near Waterberg, on 11 August
1904, von Trotha’s troops surrounded the Herero tribespeople on
three sides and brutally defeated them. In a cynical ploy, he
left open only the way into the Omaheke area of the Kalahari
Desert. The battle plan was that those who escaped the German
bullets should die of thirst. Waterholes for 150 miles (240 km)
around the desert were either patrolled or poisoned, and those
Herero who came crawling out of the Omaheke, desperate for
water, were bayoneted. This left the Herero ‘with but one
option: to cross the desert into Botswana [then called
Bechuanaland], in reality a march to death. This, indeed, is
how the majority of the Herero perished.’13
Due to missionary pressure and a growing shortage of labour in
the colony, von Trotha’s extermination campaign was eventually
stopped by Berlin, and the surviving Herero people were put into
concentration camps.

‘Put to slave labor, overworked, hungry, and exposed to
diseases such as typhoid and smallpox, more Herero men perished
in these camps. Herero women, meanwhile, were turned into sex
slaves.’14
The result of this policy was that from 1904 to 1908 the Herero
were reduced ‘from a tribe of 80,000 persons to 15,000 starving
refugees.’15
Following the war, all Herero persons over the age of seven were
forced to wear a metal disc around their necks with their
registration number, designating them as free labour. This was
an ominous foretaste of the Jewish Holocaust star years later,
when Hitler similarly enslaved those he considered to be members
of inferior races.
Genocide and ‘race branding’
There are powerful links between the Herero genocide, the
Holocaust 40 years later, and the Rwandan genocide of the
1990s.16
1.Francis Galton, the anti-Christian cousin of Charles Darwin,
visited South-West Africa in the early 1850s. He went on to
develop his theory of eugenics, a term he coined in 1883. This
pseudo-science helped promote the racial superiority views which
played such a major role in the fate of the Herero people years
later.

Herr Doktor Eugen Fischer hard at "evolutionary studies" work!
2.Making his rounds of the Herero concentration camps was Herr
Doktor Eugen Fischer. It was here that Fischer did his first
‘medical’ experiments on race, genetics and eugenics, using as
his guinea pigs both Herero full-bloods and the mulatto
offspring of Herero women and German men. Under his
supervision, the preserved bodies and severed heads of Herero
who had been hanged were sent to Germany for dissection.4

Anything for the advancement of EVOLUTIONARY science, eh?
Fischer went on to become the head of the Kaiser Wilhelm
Institute of Anthropology, Human Heredity and Eugenics. He
co-authored the book The Principles of Human Heredity and Race
Hygiene,17 which became the standard textbook in Germany on this
subject. Hitler cited it in his Mein Kampf [My Struggle] ,
which became the basis for the destruction of millions of people
in his own pursuit of ‘racial purity’.
Hitler appointed Fischer as rector of the University of Berlin
in 1933, where he taught medicine to Nazi doctors. Fischer is
sometimes referred to as the father of modern genetics. One of
his prominent pupils was Josef Mengele, the so-called ‘Angel of
Death’, who went on to repeat his teacher’s cruel experiments on
Jewish children, and directed the operation of the gas chambers
at Auschwitz.

Lewis Latimer - blackinventor.com
Lewis Latimer is considered one of the 10 most important Black
inventors of all time, not only for the sheer number of
inventions created and patents secured but also for the
magnitude of importance for his most famous discovery. Latimer
was born on September 4, 1848 in Chelsea, Massachusetts. His
parents were George and Rebecca Latimer, both runaway slaves who
migrated to Massachusetts in 1842 from Virginia. George Latimer
was captured by his slave owner, who was determined to take him
back to Virginia. His situation gained great notoriety, even
reaching the Massachusetts Supreme Court. Eventually George was
purchased by abolition supporters who set him free.
Lewis served in the United States Navy for the Union during the
Civil War, assigned to the U.S.S. Massasoit gunboat and received
an honorable discharge on July 3, 1865. After his discharge he
sought employment throughout Boston, Massachusetts and
eventually gained a position as an office boy with a patent law
firm, Crosby and Gould earning $3.00 each week. After observing
Latimer’s ability to sketch patent drawings, he was eventually
promoted to the position of head draftsman earning $20.00 a
week. In addition to his newfound success, Latimer found
additional happiness when he married Mary Wilson in November of
1873.
In 1874, along with W.C. Brown, Latimer co-invented an improved
of a train water closet, a bathroom compartment for railroad
trains. Two years later, Latimer would play a part in one of the
world’s most important inventions.
In 1876, Latimer was sought out as a draftsman by a teacher for
deaf children. The teacher had created a device and wanted Lewis
to draft the drawing necessary for a patent application. The
teacher was Alexander Graham Bell and the device was the
telephone. Working late into the night, Latimer worked hard to
finish the patent application, which was submitted on February
14, 1876, just hours before another application was submitted by
Elisha Gray for a similar device.
In 1880, after moving to Bridgeport, Connecticut, Latimer was
hired as the assistant manager and draftsman for U.S. Electric
Lighting Company owned by Hiram Maxim. Maxim was the chief rival
to Thomas Edison, the man who invented the electric light bulb.
The light was composed of a glass bulb which surrounded a carbon
wire filament, generally made of bamboo, paper or thread. When
the filament was burned inside of the bulb (which contained
almost no air), it became so hot that it actually glowed.
Thus by passing electricity into the bulb, Edison had been able
to cause the glowing bright light to emanate within a room.
Before this time most lighting was delivered either through
candles or through gas lamps or kerosene lanterns. Maxim greatly
desired to improve on Edison’s light bulb and focused on the
main weakness of Edison’s bulb – their short life span
(generally only a few days.) Latimer set out to make a longer
lasting bulb.

Latimer devised a way of encasing the filament within an
cardboard envelope which prevented the carbon from breaking and
thereby provided a much longer life to the bulb and hence made
the bulbs less expensive and more efficient. This enabled
electric lighting to be installed within homes and throughout
streets.
Latimer’s abilities in electric lighting became well known and
soon he was sought after to continue to improve on incandescent
lighting as well as arc lighting. Eventually, as more major
cities began wiring their streets for electric lighting, Latimer
was dispatched to lead the planning team. He helped to install
the first electric plants in Philadelphia, New York City and
Montreal and oversaw the installation of lighting in railroad
stations, government building and major thoroughfares in Canada,
New England and London.
In 1890, Latimer, having been hired by Thomas Edison, began
working in the legal department of Edison Electric Light
Company, serving as the chief draftsman and patent expert. In
this capacity he drafted drawings and documents related to
Edison patents, inspected plants in search of infringers of
Edison’s patents, conducted patent searches and testified in
court proceeding on Edison’s behalf. Later that year wrote the
worlds most thorough book on electric lighting, “Incandescent
Electric Lighting: A Practical Description of the Edison
System.” Lewis was named one of the charter members of the
Edison pioneer, a distinguished group of people deemed
responsible for creating the electrical industry. The Edison
Electric Lighting would eventually evolve into what is now known
as the General Electric Company.

Latimer continued to display his creative talents over then next
several years. In 1894 he created a safety elevator, a vast
improvement on existing elevators. He next received a patent for
Locking Racks for Hats, Coats, and Umbrellas. The device was
used in restaurants, hotels and office buildings, holding items
securely and allowing owners of items to keep the from getting
misplaced or accidentally taken by others. He next created a
improved version of a Book Supporter, used to keep books neatly
arranged on shelves.
Latimer next devised a method of making rooms more sanitary and
climate controlled. He termed his device an Apparatus for
Cooling and Disinfecting. The device worked wonders in
hospitals, preventing dust and particles from circulating within
patient rooms and public areas.
Throughout the rest of his life, Latimer continued to try to
devise ways of improving everyday living for the public,
eventually working in efforts to improve the civil rights of
Black citizens within the United States. He also painted
portraits and wrote poetry and music for friends and family.
Lewis Latimer died on December 11, 1928 and left behind a legacy
of achievement and leadership that much of the world owes
thanks.

Einstein rescinded his German Citizenship when he was 17 so he
could not be drafted.
In 1945 he wrote Roosevelt that there would be dire consequences
for mankind if the atomic bomb was dropped. President Roosevelt
died a few days later. The letter from Einstein was never
opened. So it goes. >:(
‘Dear Professor Einstein’ sheds new light on Cold War
Albert Einstein and eight other prominent scientists, including
OSU alumnus Linus Pauling, formed a committee in 1946 to warn
the public about the dangers of nuclear holocaust. Thousands of
ordinary Americans responded to his fundraising appeals with
cash donations and heartfelt letters expressing their concerns
at the dawn of the Atomic Age. (Amanda Cowan | Corvallis
Gazette-Times)

'Frankly, I am terrified'
Dear Dr. Einstein:
You can explore the “Dear Professor Einstein” exhibition online
at bit.ly/1uzOxG2. It contains more than 3,000 letters and other
documents related to the Emergency Committee of Atomic
Scientists, organized by Albert Einstein in 1946 to combat the
threat of nuclear war.
It can be hard for anyone born since the collapse of the Soviet
Union to comprehend, but the threat of nuclear holocaust seemed
very real during the Cold War, looming over the collective
consciousness like a psychic mushroom cloud.
The possibility of global annihilation formed an ever-present
backdrop to the entire post-World War II period, with the United
States and the USSR staring each other down like a couple of
Wild West gunslingers armed with ICBMs instead of six-shooters
while the whole world waited to see who would flinch first.
In 1946, a year after the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
ended World War II and demonstrated the awesome power of the
atom bomb, a group of distinguished American scientists led by
Albert Einstein tried to rally public support to curb the danger
of nuclear conflict.
Now the discovery of a cache of long-lost documents is shedding
new light on this dimly remembered chapter of Cold War history.
“Dear Professor Einstein,” an online exhibition put together by
the Special Collections and Archives Research Center at Oregon
State University’s Valley Library, showcases thousands of
letters from ordinary Americans to the Emergency Committee of
Atomic Scientists. Many are written in a highly personal tone
and addressed directly to Einstein in response to a widely
distributed fundraising appeal bearing his signature.
“There are very poignant letters from people all over the United
States talking about how scared they are to be living in this
new atomic age,” said Anne Bahde, who curated the exhibition.
Bahde came across the letters — as well as meeting minutes,
educational materials and other documents related to the
Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists — while combing through
OSU’s extensive collection of Linus Pauling’s personal papers.
Pauling, an Oregon State alumnus, was one of the committee’s
original nine members, and some of the ECAS files passed to him
after Einstein’s death in 1955.
Many of the letters came with cash contributions to help the
committee spread the word about the dangers of atomic weapons.
Some were as large as $10,000, but the vast majority were much
smaller amounts — $10, $5, sometimes even less.

/>
“The really moving ones are the offers to help. These are people
who do not have any money, and all they can offer is service,”
Bahde said.
“One I just cried when I found,” she added. “It was (from)
German Jewish refugees who were new to this country and said,
‘We have no money to give, but we’re happy to help in any way we
can.’”

/>
Others take a different tone, exhorting the famous scientist to
do his best, advising him about possible solutions or taking him
to task for his own contributions to nuclear weapons research.
The rediscovered documents represent a treasure trove for
researchers, with potential applications in a number of fields,
from history to sociology, political science and peace studies.
To maximize that potential, OSU is asking the public to help
digitize the collection.
Visitors to the online exhibition are invited to view images of
the documents and transcribe their contents in a software
program called Scripto. The transcriptions will be proofread and
uploaded to a full-text database that can be analyzed by
scholars using computer keyword searches to find related
documents or identify trends.
Larry Landis, the director of the Special Collections and
Archives Research Center, said this kind of public participation
is a growing trend among cultural institutions, though it’s
something OSU hasn’t tried before.
“It will be interesting to see for us how this public
transcription crowdsourcing takes off,” he said.
“We don’t have the manpower to undertake something like this.”
The Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists disbanded in 1951,
in part because some members recoiled against Einstein’s calls
for a world government. But its anti-war message continued to
resonate, and some of the group’s founders carried on the
campaign against nuclear weapons.
For Pauling it became a lifelong crusade, and in 1962 he was
awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his anti-nuclear activism.
Jake Hamblin, an associate professor of history at OSU who
specializes in the Cold War period, says “Dear Professor
Einstein” provides a valuable refresher course on an episode
from the nation’s past that is easily overlooked today.
“You get a really strong sense of the hopes and fears and the
time period — it really jumps out at you,” he said.
“What’s interesting about that time is that Americans were
looking to scientists not just for expertise but also for moral
leadership.”
It’s also a valuable reminder that the possibility of nuclear
conflict has never fully disappeared, with rogue states and
terrorist organizations replacing the old Cold War superpowers
as the most likely potential antagonists.
“We are still confronted with nuclear weapons today .... it’s an
issue we still haven’t solved,” Hamblin said.
“We are still dealing with the fallout from the bomb.” :(

The FBI's secret war against Albert Einstein >:(
[quote]Einstein, on Hitler's hit list as a brilliant Jewish
scientist and anti-Nazi, arrived in the US just 18 days before
the Nazis seized power but he almost didn't make it as the State
Department attempted to block his visa :o based on allegations
from a US far-right group that Einstein was a "communist". This
was the first of many pro-Nazi, anti-Semitic "sources" which fed
the FBI with invented tales of Einstein's "communism".
Fearing international ridicule for barring the Nobel Prize
winner, the State Department relented but, along with the FBI,
War Department and Immigration and Naturalization Service,
continued to keep tabs on the draft-dodger and pacifist who
lectured by day on relativity and in the evening urged civil
disobedience against military service.
Hoover was soon on the case of this dangerous radical. Before
the Nazis' threat as rival imperialists outweighed their status
as useful anti-communists, the FBI and the Gestapo had worked
together in the hunt for communists. Einstein's file grew with
each German he sponsored for refugee status for whom the Gestapo
had a "record" of "communist sympathies".
Einstein's support for the Lincoln Brigade, the US Communist
Party-led American volunteer soldiers against the fascist Franco
in the Spanish Civil War, was further "evidence" of Einstein's
undesirablity to Hoover who had a deep empathy with the
anti-Semitic and fascist off-shoots of the far-right.
@BODY TEXT SPA = When Einstein put aside his pacifism to support
the Allied war effort against the fascist juggernaut and signed
a letter in 1939 successfully urging President Franklin
Roosevelt to commit the US to building an atomic bomb to counter
Nazi Germany's nuclear bomb project, the FBI sprung into action.
Einstein was ruled off the US bomb project after US Army
Counter-Intelligence Corps, using the FBI for background checks
of scientists, red-inked Einstein's name.
Einstein was later to call his letter to the president his "one
great mistake in my life" after the atomic bomb was used against
Japan, a criminal act which Einstein saw as militarily
unnecessary and politically motivated (to rush-end the Pacific
war solely to intimidate the Soviet Union).
Einstein joined the anti-nuclear movement, heading the Emergency
Committee of Atomic Scientists, which the FBI saw as a threat to
America's nuclear monopoly and imperialist reach and thus a
"communist front" with Einstein a "big name", "innocent"
sponsor.
Einstein's anti-racism further inflamed Hoover. Twelve months
after the end of the "war to save democracy", some 50 African
Americans, most of them war veterans, were killed by the Ku Klux
Klan and other racist vigilantes.[color=green][size=12pt]
Einstein, the Jewish victim of racism in Germany, reached out to
the African-American victims of racism through articles,
speeches and sponsorship of campaigns against racist violence
and injustice. He accepted Paul Robeson's offer to co-chair the
American Crusade to End Lynching.
Robeson was a trigger for more FBI salivating.

These two Einstein articles are absolutely fascinating. I had no
idea of this forgotten history, aside from Einstein's letter to
Roosevelt.
Great stuff.
