We Germans should be realistic. We lost two wars to the Jews. Why should we lose another?
- Former Nazi propagandist Werner Naumann to British intelligence agents, July, 1953

"For America," a spin-off of the America First Committee, was formed in 1954, and run by some of the leading WW II "isolationists." One of the organization's leading lights was Colonel Robert McCormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune. The chairman of For America was Clarence Manion, formerly dean of law at Notre Dame University. Robert Wood, then head of Sears, Roebuck, was a blustering propagandist for the bund. The stated aim of For America was the support of political candidates sympathetic to the Nazi cause.

McCormick's greatest legacy was his financial support of Jay Near in Near v. Minnesota -- a case that helped cement this country's freedom of the press.

Oh, one more thing, The Colonel was also a bigot.

"Minnesota Rag," a book about the Near v. Minnesota case, asserts that words like "kike" and "nigger" were a part of the Colonel's vocabulary. Oswald Garrison Villard, editor and publisher of The Nation, wrote, "If the Ku Klux Klan had a brief life in Illinois, it undoubtedly prospered while it lived because of the Tribune's aid."

The kooky Colonel also accused FDR and the New Deal of "creeping communism." A supporter of Sen. McCarthy, the Colonel was convinced that the "red menace" was more than a scare. And under McCormick's leadership, the Tribune accused the American Civil Liberties Union of "taking Bolshevik gold."

A 1930 poll of Washington correspondents, reported in Time magazine, had McCormick's Chicago Tribune among the "least fair and reliable" newspapers in America and called it a "ceaseless drip of poison."

These postwar isolationists and World War II revisionists also cast Germany as the victim by stressing the "inhumanity" and "injustice" of the Allied war crimes trials and de-Nazification programs. They questioned the legality of the Nuremberg trials and accused the Allies of hypocrisy in holding them, arguing that had the outcome of the war been reversed the Allied leaders would have found themselves in the docket. The Chicago Tribune declared that Russia's participation transformed them into a "kangaroo court." Congressman Rankin accused the court at Nuremberg of having "perpetrated more outrages than any other organization of its kind." He found it particularly appalling that Soviet Communist Jews, who he argued, bore responsibility for the murder of tens of millions of Christians, should be able to sit in judgment of "German soldiers, civilians and doctors, five or six years after the war closed." Robert McCormick, probably America's most influential isolationist, refused to have dinner with former Attorney General Francis Biddle because, as a result of his role in the Nuremberg trials, McCormick considered him a "murderer."

J. Jonah Jameson is the publisher of The Daily Bugle, a major newspaper. His father was an officer of the United States Army, a war veteran decorated as a hero but an abusive husband and father. As a result he grew convinced that "No one's a hero every day of the week" and "Even the real heroes can't keep it up all the time".

After school Jonah sought employment as a journalist. According to Marvels #1, he found employment in the Daily Bugle and bragged to his colleagues that he would one day run the newspaper. In 1939 he was witness to the first appearances of Marvel's first superheroes. He was less than convinced that they were so heroic and even less pleased that their powers outshone any regular person.

When the USA joined World War II in 1941, Jonah served as a war journalist in Europe. Following the end of the war Jonah continued his career. He was eventually promoted to chief editor of the Daily Bugle and later yet managed to gain ownership over it.

In Amazing Spider-Man #162,Jonah first introduced himself to Dr. Marla Madison. He asked for her help in creating a new Spider-Slayer, one of a series of robots created to slay Spider-Man, although the latter has managed to survive their attacks and destroy each one of them.

As a publisher Jonah is not an easy man to like. JJJ is plagued by greedy opportunism and unyielding stubbornness that is especially linked to a pathological hatred for Spider-Man.

He has acted on this hatred by continually accusing the superhero of any wrongdoing in his publications, only to be continually obliged to print almost as many retractions after being proven wrong. Even the numerous times that Spider-Man saved his and his loved ones lives have not changed his mind, only increasing his determination to find some flaw in the hero.

In addition, his efforts to stop Spider-Man included posting rewards for his capture or secret identity, hunting him for capture with Alister Smyth's Spider Slayer robots and even commissioning super powered agents to defeat the hero.

No surprise NYNewsday did the same hatchet job on Thomas as the LATimes. They are sister papers: the Newsday piece is the weaker twin of the LATimes's original screed. Thomas was awarded the Silver Star for his heroism in battle with the U.S. Army's 45th (Thunderbirds) where he served BEFORE he joined the U.S. Army CIC, so saying this somehow proves he was "only" a French Resistance fighter serving with the Americans doesn't quite meet the test of total accuracy in reporting.

Here's the money quote in Newsday, from Thomas' own private investigator, Alex Kline. Kline said to Newsday that the Army never put Thomas "through an official induction process." That would mean Thomas wasn't officially in the Army. Period.

Michel Thomas was a U.S. Army CIC agent, as testified under oath by his surviving colleagues, and by a vast documentation. A reporter who wasn't there, who refuses to accept the testimony of those who were, and who ignores documentation must have a very strong motive for doing so. Watchdog? Bad dog.

'Watchdog': why are you afraid to reveal your identity? Got something to hide? Come on out from under your rock and show your face.

Newsday should also expose Thomas' claim that he was a citizen of Germany. Under the Reich Citizenship Law passed in 1935: "A Reich citizen is a subject of the state who is German or related blood, who proves by his conduct that he is willing and fit to serve the German people and Reich. A Reich citizen is the sole bearer of all political rights."

Thus Thomas not only was NOT a member of the US Army, as demonstrated by the pioneering and brave reporting of Roy Rivenburg, but as a Jew he was not a citizen of the countries where he lived during WWII: Germany and Vichy France. He therefore had no rights, and bureaucratically speaking, he effectively ceased to exist as a person. The bureaucratic imperatives of the Reich were not uniformly enforced, and authorities failed to enforce compliance with the law with a handful nonpersons in the countries they occupied, among them Mr. Thomas.

Surely a journalistic award awaits the crusading reporter who will expose this crucial misrepresentation of another Jew who managed to get away, and continues to this day to insist he was a lawful citizen of the country where, as the law clearly demonstrates, he did not in fact exist as a person.
