FACTS Q&A:

  Q. Former nazi soldiers?

What happened to them? Were ALL tried for war crimes? Were they able to go back to civilian life?

  A.There were thousands of Nazi war criminals who escaped justice running off to friendly countries and and settling in under assumed identities. The U.S./Soviet gov'ts., participated in several conspiracies to help war criminals escape justice. Some of these criminals were scientists and engineers, and the U.S./Soviet gov'ts., had a policy that it was in the interests of their nations to exploit that talent rather than see that justice was done. The U.S./USSR rocket programs in the 1950s and 1960s were influenced by German rocket scientists who had participated in war crimes.
Only approx. 20% of the 150,000 Nazi war criminals were ever brought to trail. Millions of others escaped punishment. The Waffen SS was declared a criminal organization, but only the top leaders were ever tried. Most went back to civilian life. Many high profile figures escaped the hang mans' noose, most notably Dr. Mengele and others.

wikileaks connected#1:The Spyfiles


Mass interception of entire populations is not only a reality, it is a secret new industry spanning 25 countries
It sounds like something out of Hollywood, but as of today, mass interception systems, built by Western intelligence contractors, including for ’political opponents’ are a reality. Today WikiLeaks began releasing a database of hundreds of documents from as many as 160 intelligence contractors in the mass surveillance industry. Working with Bugged Planet and Privacy International, as well as media organizations form six countries – ARD in Germany, The Bureau of Investigative Journalism in the UK, The Hindu in India, L’Espresso in Italy, OWNI in France and the Washington Post in the U.S. Wikileaks is shining a light on this secret industry that has boomed since September 11, 2001 and is worth billions of dollars per year. WikiLeaks has released 287 documents today, but the Spy Files project is ongoing and further information will be released this week and into next year.
International surveillance companies are based in the more technologically sophisticated countries, and they sell their technology on to every country of the world. This industry is, in practice, unregulated. Intelligence agencies, military forces and police authorities are able to silently, and on mass, and secretly intercept calls and take over computers without the help or knowledge of the telecommunication providers. Users’ physical location can be tracked if they are carrying a mobile phone, even if it is only on stand by.
But the WikiLeaks Spy Files are more than just about ’good Western countries’ exporting to ’bad developing world countries’. Western companies are also selling a vast range of mass surveillance equipment to Western intelligence agencies. In traditional spy stories, intelligence agencies like MI5 bug the phone of one or two people of interest. In the last ten years systems for indiscriminate, mass surveillance have become the norm. Intelligence companies such as VASTech secretly sell equipment to permanently record the phone calls of entire nations. Others record the location of every mobile phone in a city, down to 50 meters. Systems to infect every Facebook user, or smart-phone owner of an entire population group are on the intelligence market.
Selling Surveillance to Dictators
When citizens overthrew the dictatorships in Egypt and Libya this year, they uncovered listening rooms where devices from Gamma corporation of the UK, Amesys of France, VASTech of South Africa and ZTE Corp of China monitored their every move online and on the phone.
Surveillance companies like SS8 in the U.S., Hacking Team in Italy and Vupen in France manufacture viruses (Trojans) that hijack individual computers and phones (including iPhones, Blackberries and Androids), take over the device, record its every use, movement, and even the sights and sounds of the room it is in. Other companies like Phoenexia in the Czech Republic collaborate with the military to create speech analysis tools. They identify individuals by gender, age and stress levels and track them based on ‘voiceprints’. Blue Coat in the U.S. and Ipoque in Germany sell tools to governments in countries like China and Iran to prevent dissidents from organizing online.
Trovicor, previously a subsidiary of Nokia Siemens Networks, supplied the Bahraini government with interception technologies that tracked human rights activist Abdul Ghani Al Khanjar. He was shown details of personal mobile phone conversations from before he was interrogated and beaten in the winter of 2010-2011.
How Mass Surveillance Contractors Share Your Data with the State
In January 2011, the National Security Agency broke ground on a $1.5 billion facility in the Utah desert that is designed to store terabytes of domestic and foreign intelligence data forever and process it for years to come.
Telecommunication companies are forthcoming when it comes to disclosing client information to the authorities - no matter the country. Headlines during August’s unrest in the UK exposed how Research in Motion (RIM), makers of the Blackberry, offered to help the government identify their clients. RIM has been in similar negotiations to share BlackBerry Messenger data with the governments of India, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Weaponizing Data Kills Innocent People
There are commercial firms that now sell special software that analyze this data and turn it into powerful tools that can be used by military and intelligence agencies.
For example, in military bases across the U.S., Air Force pilots use a video link and joystick to fly Predator drones to conduct surveillance over the Middle East and Central Asia. This data is available to Central Intelligence Agency officials who use it to fire Hellfire missiles on targets.
The CIA officials have bought software that allows them to match phone signals and voice prints instantly and pinpoint the specific identity and location of individuals. Intelligence Integration Systems, Inc., based in Massachusetts - sells a “location-based analytics” software called Geospatial Toolkit for this purpose. Another Massachusetts company named Netezza, which bought a copy of the software, allegedly reverse engineered the code and sold a hacked version to the Central Intelligence Agency for use in remotely piloted drone aircraft.
IISI, which says that the software could be wrong by a distance of up to 40 feet, sued Netezza to prevent the use of this software. Company founder Rich Zimmerman stated in court that his “reaction was one of stun, amazement that they (CIA) want to kill people with my software that doesn’t work."
Orwell’s World
Across the world, mass surveillance contractors are helping intelligence agencies spy on individuals and ‘communities of interest’ on an industrial scale.
The Wikileaks Spy Files reveal the details of which companies are making billions selling sophisticated tracking tools to government buyers, flouting export rules, and turning a blind eye to dictatorial regimes that abuse human rights.

10 Ways Technology Is Ruining Your Love Life

Technology has completely changed how we live our lives, and it’s happening at an ever-increasing rate. Our worlds are completely different from the world of even 10 years ago. This obviously has resulted in differences in the way we work and play, but did you know it’s even changed the way we have sex?

10Netflix Adultery

A new issue causing strife between couples is “Netflix adultery”: watching TV shows and movies alone that they promised their partner they would watch together. Twelve percent of those surveyed said they do it, and 59 percent of cheaters even reveal spoilers, which means that more than 7 percent of us are dating huge jerks.

Netflix’s director of public relations Jenny McCabe says that couples are reporting some serious drama over the phenomenon, commenting “We hear people say, ‘We made a pact, we were going to watch this together.’ ” It’s a real violation of trust and lack of consideration that can cause tension every bit as real as fights over money or other relationship matters.

9Internet Infidelity

The Internet has made actual infidelity easy and guiltless. Cybersex offers a convenience and anonymity that can prove too tempting for many to resist, even if they have someone who is generally willing to have sex with them right there in the other room. There’s no physical contact, so what’s the problem? It’s not like cybersex is really cheating, right?

Wrong: 77 percent of people surveyed said that cybersex infidelity is unaccptable. Despite the many reasons a cheater coeuld use to rationalize their activities, an overwhelming majority of people agree that cheating is cheating, period. This new and puzzling gray area is such a big problem that it was responsible for a full third of divorce cases in 2009.

8We’re All Creepy Stalkers

The Internet has given us unprecedented access to the personal lives of prospective and past partners, and boy are we making use of it. Almost 90 percent of us admit to “stalking” the social networking activities ofour ex-partners, and 60 percent of us admit to doing so to a crush.

This can have catastrophic effects on our well-being, because the information often doesn’t fully satisfy our curiosity and causes even more anxiety. Stalking an ex can significantly hamper our recovery from the breakup, and even spur us to make really bad decisions like hopping back into bed with them (yes, scientists actually studied this stuff). It might be best to keep them out of feed, out of mind.

7Fear Of Intimacy

Harvard professor Craig Malkin has coined the term “cybercelibacy” to describe the increasing number of people who turn to online games and networks to satisfy their social needs without having to face scary real people. It creates a vicious cycle, he explains, where people aren’t forced to face their anxieties about relationships, which makes those anxieties grow and causes them to retreat further.

How bad is the problem, exactly? Well, 28 percent of people surveyed admitted that they spend less time with meatspace friends in favor of online activities, and almost as many (20 percent) say they’re having less sex. It turns out that going outside occasionally is a really important step to taking up residence in someone else’s underpants.

6Facebook Provokes Your Jealousy

Following your partner’s Facebook feed creates needless jealousy, one study says. Even after controlling for other factors (that’s science for “weeding out the crazy people whose unbridled jealousy would exist either way”), the study found that the more time you spend reading your partner’s boring status updates, the more likely you are to turn into a raging psycho.

This happens because a good chunk of your partner’s social interaction becomes visible to you, but you don’t have those in-person cues that gives the exchange context. For example, when your lady’s gay co-worker or the best friend who loves her like a sister leaves an innocent “You look great!” on her picture, they know it’s a harmless compliment—but all you see is some dude hitting on your girlfriend.

5Too Many Points Of Contact

A lack of communication can be a big problem in a relationship, but one study suggests that communicating too much can be a strain as well. A survey of 24,000 married people found that using more than five channels (such as social media, texting, instant messaging, etc.) to communicate with your partner actually decreases relationship satisfaction.

The stress of never being more than a series of ones and zeroes away from your partner and monitoring so many incoming data streams is a killer. Think about how easy it is to step over that threshold. You follow your partner’s Facebook and Twitter feed, obviously, and of course they have your phone number for calling and texting—if you regularly use even one more communication tool, you’re screwed.

4The Online Pornsplosion

With porn so easily accessible, convenient, and increasingly hardcore, many women are feeling either neglected or pressured to adhere to male-centric sexual scripts that they don’t enjoy. It turns out that many ladies don’t actually enjoy being sprayed in the face or poked in the butt (acts that are simply a matter of course in even mainstream porn nowadays) but feel like they have to if they want to please their man.

That is, if they’re being asked to please them at all: More women are reporting that they can’t compete with the blonde, tanned, and augmented video vixens, and their partners neglect them in favor of prerecorded thrills. It’s never a good thing if one person is unhappy with the naked-time routine, but the problem is so bad that in 2003, it was reported that online porn played a major role in a quarter of all divorce cases that year (and we’re pretty sure the amount of porn available hasn’t decreased any since then).

3Gadgets

Some people are literally addicted to their smartphones; they can’t even leave the room without carrying them around like a colicky baby. Or maybe you like to bring your laptop to bed for some late-night work, or even just watch a little Letterman before tucking in. Well, all of those things could be wreaking havoc on your sex life, studies show. The mere act of having a phone nearby is so distracting that we can’t focus onthe person we’re with, and simply having a TV in the bedroom can cut the amount of sex you have in half.

2Dubious ‘Matching Algorithms’

Matching algorithms, such as those used by OkCupid and eHarmony, use questionnaire information about users’ personality and interests, which may help the strangers find things to talk about, but won’t in any way guarantee relationship success. Hold on, you say, isn’t it important that my partner likes Star Wars and skydiving as much as I do? If I end up with a scaredy cat who hates sci-fi, how are we even supposed to relate to each other?

Actually, the former has little to do with the latter. The way two individuals interact with each other specifically—i.e., plain ol’ chemistry—is the best indication of a good match, something that can’t be determined until two people meet. Maybe that overly cautious person keeps you grounded without holding you back, or the foreign film nut knows intuitively just what kind of support you need when you’ve had a bad day. Furthermore, the sites encourage users to objectify potential partners, “shopping” for matches based on these superficial and insignificant traits.

1Googling Your Date

There’s really no such thing as a blind date anymore: 48 percent of women will not hesitate to Google you before they agree to go out with you, and just as many are willing to decline if they find unsavory information. Sure, some serious bullets can be dodged this way, like if you find your potential date’s incoherent, violent blog about his serial killer fantasies, but in many cases, you might be rejecting your soulmate based on a false (or at least meaningless) representation.

According to one study, the more information we dig up about our suitors, the more likely we are to reject them. You might think that just saves everyone some time—you’re going to find out about her online shrine to Hanson eventually, right?—but before you judge too harshly, take a minute to Google yourself. Did anything potentially off-putting come up? That embarrassingly naive op-ed piece about Objectivism you wrote for your college newspaper, say, or videos of your misguided attempt at hip-hop superstardom? How representative are those things of you as a person?

The fact is, someone who’s had a chance to get to know all the virtues and quirks that come packed in the you-shaped bundle is probably going to find those things endearing, but someone whose first impression of you has been based on them is going to run away screaming. As study coauthor Joanna Frost, PhD., says, “Your disillusionment with someone during a conversation might take hours, during which your date has the opportunity to explain himself, whereas online that disillusionment can happen almost instantly.” So give that freak a chance to explain herself over a beer—it might just be a charming quirk in an otherwise flawless package.

TOP 10 MYSTERIOUS MILLIONAIRES WHO DISAPPEARED UNKNOWN

TOP 10 MYSTERIOUS MILLIONAIRES WHO DISAPPEARED~

10.

Don Lewis
Missing: 16 Years

Don Lewis was a self-made millionaire and a somewhat eccentric sort who would wear yard-sale clothing while carrying huge amounts of cash. Lewis had made his money in real estate and trucking, as well as a number of other ventures. He and his wife Carole had transformed 140 acres of land in Tampa, Florida into “Wildlife on Easy Street,” a sanctuary for 200 big cats.

In August 1997, Carole reported 60-year-old Don missing, and the following day his van was found at an airport with the keys still inside. It came to light that Lewis had filed for a domestic violence injunction against his wife two months before his disappearance, alleging that she had threatened to shoot him. Lewis’s three daughters from his first marriage believe that Carole is responsible, even suggesting that police test the meat grinder at the sanctuary for human DNA. His wife called the rumors ridiculous, saying “My tigers eat meat, they don’t eat people.” She believes Lewis absconded to Costa Rica, where he owned property.

9.

Guma Aguiar
Missing: 1 Year

In June 2012, the fishing boat of 35-year-old oil and gas magnate Guma Aguiar landed on the shores of Fort Lauderdale, Florida with the engines running and the navigation lights on. Aguiar’s wallet and cell phone were discovered on board, and a T-shirt and pair a flip-flops were found on deck. Searches for his body turned up nothing, and no sightings have been reported.
There is a lot of speculation surrounding the Braziilian-born multi-millionaire’s disappearance. Aguiar had spent time in a mental hospital due to bipolar disorder, had been facing legal problems, and had been on the brink of a divorce. His wife Jamie had been looking into circumventing the pre-nuptial agreement, as they had married before Aguiar had made his money, and this prompted speculation that he had willingly disappeared trying to protect his $100 million fortune. This theory was fueled by the fact that Aguiar’s sister and his closest business partner have both relocated to the Netherlands, prompting speculation that Aguiar has also fled there.

Camilla ‘Cam’ Lyman 
Missing: 10 years

 Camilla Lyman was born into a wealthy family and bred champion cocker spaniels on a $2.1 million estate in Massachusetts. Early in his life, Lyman legally changed his name to Cam and transitioned into living as a man. 

When Cam Lyman disappeared  in 1987 at age 54, along with some cash, clothing, and a case full of jewels, there was talk that he had gone off to Europe for the sex reassignment surgery he’d always talked about. George O’Neil, the caretaker of Lyman’s estate, did not report him missing and continued to look after the dogs and household. Additionally, O’Neil had power of attorney over Lyman’s affairs and was a beneficiary in his will. Cam Lyman’s body was recovered from the septic tank of his home 10 years after his disappearance. He had been shot, his body weighed down with a cinder block. George O’Neil vehemently denied any involvement and was never charged with murder, but was later convicted of embezzling from the Lyman estate. Even after being featured on Unsolved Mysteries, the murder remains exactly that.

Kevin McGeever
Missing: 8 Months

After being missing for eight months, an Irish property tycoon was found wandering along a country road looking emaciated and confused. Kevin McGeever, 68, told police that he had been abducted at gunpoint and held in a shipping container.However, his story started to unravel when he was questioned by police. It eventually came out that he had been living in a remote area of the country and had concocted the kidnapping story to escape financial pressures. McGeever’s business had collapsed, and he was suspected of running property frauds in Dubai and Germany. He apparently believed that his former clients would be hesitant to demand money from him, as it might have implicated them in his kidnapping. McGeever was arrested for wasting police time and making false allegations.

6 .

Bob Harrod
Missing: 4 Years

Bob Harrod was 81 years old and newly married when he disappeared from his home in California in July, 2009. He was preparing for the arrival of his new wife, assisted by his son-in-law Jeff Michaels. When Michaels returned from a trip into town to pick up supplies, he found Harrod’s housekeeper waiting outside the locked home. His father-in-law was nowhere to be found. Harrod’s wallet and keys were gone, but his car was still parked in the driveway.

Though elderly and suffering from poor eyesight, Harrod did not have dementia or other medical conditions that would explain erratic behavior. There have been no attempts to access his bank account or credit cards. Though Herrod was a multi-millionaire, nothing had been signed over to his new wife and she had not yet been written into his will. There had recently been a heated discussion with his daughters regarding money, as well as concerns about him lending large amounts of money to a friend who was thought to be taking advantage of the elderly man. However, Harrod’s friend, daughters, and son-in-law have all been cleared of suspicion.

5.

 Herman Rockefeller

Missing: 8 Days

 

In January 2010, millionaire businessman Herman Rockefeller of Melbourne, Australia disappeared shortly after returning from a business trip. The 51-year-old’s car was found abandoned several days later. His bank accounts and cell phone showed no activity. A report of a sighting of the millionaire at a convenience store near where his car was found led nowhere.

Then, eight days after he disappeared, Rockefeller’s burned and dismembered body was discovered in agarbage-filled backyard. It came to light that the married Rockefeller had been leading a sordid double life of swinging and had been meeting strangers through erotic personal ads. The night of his murder, Rockefeller had met with Mario Schembri and Bernadette Denny for a sexual encounter, and they had murdered him in Bernadette’s home. Their motive was never made clear.

4 .

Leonid Rozhetskin
Missing: 4 Years, 6 Months

Leonid Rozhetskin was a Russian-born American lawyer who had struck it rich as a venture capitalist and was worth several hundred million dollars. In 2008, 41-year-old Rozhetskin disappeared from his luxurious villa in the resort town of Jurmala in Latvia, leaving behind pools of blood.

Theories abound about his disappearance and range from kidnapping, to murder, to the millionaire faking his own death. Though married to a model, there were rumors about Rozhetskin and other men, fueled by the fact that he was last seen with two male acquaintances who had then gotten out of a taxi at a gay nightclub. His mother called the gay angle a “smear campaign” and said she was convinced her son was killed by Russian agents because he had threatened to expose government corruption. Though remains found in a forest in Jurmala in 2012 were positively identified through DNA testing as Leonid Rozhetskin, the cause his death remains a mystery.

3.

Moe Jiwani
Missing: 7 Years

 

Moe Jiwani, a 40-year-old millionaire hotelier, left a business meeting in Toronto in 2006 and was never seen or heard from again. His Mercedes was discovered in a rough part of town, next to a strip club called Filmore’s. There are reports of Jiwani patronizing the club the night of his disappearance, but they were never confirmed. Jiwani had previously disappeared for four days and was reportedly hooked on crack cocaine.

Almost three months after Moe Jiwani disappeared, his wife was fleeced for $80,000 while attempting to pay a ransom for her husband, which turned out to be a hoax perpetrated by acquaintances of his. The money was never recovered, and Jiwani’s whereabouts remain a mystery.

2.

Steve Fossett
Missing: 13 Months

Steve Fossett was a businessman who had made his fortune in the stock market. He was also an avid adventurer and sportsman who set no fewer than 116 world records in flying, sailing, and ballooning. He was the first person to fly solo around the world in a hot-air balloon, and made the first solo nonstop journey around the world in an airplane. At 63 years old, Fossett disappeared in September 2007 over the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California during a solo flight, prompting what was called the largest and most complex search for a single individual in US history. Neither Fossett nor his plane were found, and Fossett was declared legally dead in February 2008.In October of the same year, 13 months after his disappearance, the wreckage of Fossett’s plane was discovered by a hiker. DNA tests proved the bones found on site belonged to Steve Fossett. He had collided head-on with a mountainside and died instantly. Sixty of his world records were still standing when he disappeared.

1.

Ambrose Small
Missing: 94 Years

The 1919 disappearance of mogul Ambrose Small remains one of Toronto’s most enduring mysteries. Small had started as an usher, and over the next 40 years, he had built a theater empire and amassed a fortune. On December 1, 1919, Small sold his businesses for $1.7 million and deposited it into his bank account. The next evening, he left his office and disappeared, leaving behind not only his wife, but the huge sum of money he had received the day before.

Small was a known gambler, womanizer, and ruthless businessman. The case caused a sensation, especially once Small’s wife Theresa offered a $50,000 reward. However, no ransom request was ever made, and no body was ever discovered. In the years following his disappearance, there were reports of sightings of Ambrose Small in London, France, Mexico, and South America, but none were ever confirmed. He was declared legally dead in 1923, and in 1960, the case was officially closed. Decades after he vanished, the ghost of Ambrose Small was reported to be haunting his favorite theater, “The Grand” in London, Ontario. His portrait hangs in the lobby there, commemorating his contribution to the theater’s legacy.After spending eight years traveling the world working on cruise ships, Caroline is currently living the dream of exploring Europe on her own. Experiencing so many interesting people and places has inspired her to get writing about anything and everything.
