+13Fast and Furious caused the death of hundreds and a border agent and now Obama claims Exec. Privilege on something he claims to know nothing about......he is a COWARD
If you would have a spoonfull of emotional reference to the nazi related emblems in that picture you wouldn't post them!
It has become something so common in US media and peoples everyday use of them that you really don't realize intellectual and emotionally anymore what they REALLY stand for and what they REALLY represent.
The represent a horror and destruction on such enormous scale, pain and suffering.
Everytime I see this done by US-SH's it is shocking to see the casually usage of those nazi-imagery, picture etc.
You really know nothing about history!
You live in a country that didn't see nationwide war since the Civil War.
You don't realise how much WWII still lives in peoples memory here.
In my hometown I just have to look around, see the monuments that are placed there to commemorated the horrible consequences of war. That is just one city.
In every town, in every village, on more remoted places you will find silent witnessess of that past.
For you this picture may just represent a rock at the edge of a field.
For us it represents the execution December 28 1944 of 14 man, in fact two of them were boys (just 16 year old) in the Elmpterwald. I live near the German border and that executionsite is just across the border with Germany.
Those man had to dig their own grave and were executed.
Can you imgaine what they must experienced.
What was their crime?
They were caught in their hidingplace to avoid to having to work in Germany.
Forced labour to be precise. Many man and young boys were in hiding in my hometown, just to avoid forced labour.
My parents were in their teens when the war broke out.
My father was scarred in body and soul because of the horrific experiences he endured.
My mothers experiences were different than my fathers but they left their emotional mark on her also.

In the centre of the town you will find these holes on houses, but you will find holes like that also in the walls of the nearby church.
These are actual bullet holes. They are from the time my hometown was a front city.
So if I read here US-SH's about President Obama, but this was happening with President Bush too. Making comparisons about dictatorship and the usage of nazi-imagery and words in the most casual way.
I feel sad an I'm angry for the lack of knowledge, the lack of emotional frame of reference by some of you US-SH's.
Yes, you did touch a raw nerve. Are you surprised about that?
The Dutch soldiers fought for four days against an enemy bigger, better prepared than they were.
You know why they did surrender? Because the nazi's had bombed the city of Rotterdam. If they didn't surrender other major Dutch cities would follow.
Rotterdam centre after the attack
I notice this all the time that US-SH's don't realise how much the WWII is still very present here even after so many years.
"The Dutch famine of 1944 took place in the German-occupied part of the Netherlands, especially in the densely populated western provinces, during the winter of 1944-1945, near the end of World War II. A German blockade cut off food and fuel shipments from farm areas to punish the reluctance of the Dutch to aid the Nazi war effort. Some 4.5 million were affected and survived because of soup kitchens. About 22,000 died because of the famine. Most vulnerable according to the death reports were elderly men."
The Dutch famine of 1944, known as the Hongerwinter ("Hunger winter") was a famine that took place in The Netherlands, near the end of World War II.
A total of 18,000 people died during the famine.
More than 3 million people in the cities suffered and went without food, heating, electricity, medication, transport and in some cities the taps ran dry.
Food was rationed but not available in the shops, however, one could exchange food coupons to obtain a daily meal from so-called Gaarkeukens (soup kitchen, a bread line, or a meal centre set up by the Councils) where a watery cabbage and potato soup would be served.
As an alternative people ate tulip bulbs which were still available on the black market.
Sugar beets were chopped up and boiled, the syrup used on bread and the pulp made into a sort of pancake.
It still cast a big shadow:

It now appears that the limited food intake of mothers who were pregnant during this period altered the genetic material of embryos in the early stages of development.
The effects of this can still be observed some sixty years later.
These alterations are not changes in the genetic code, but a different setting for the code which indicates whether a gene is on or off.

These alterations are not changes in the genetic code, but a different setting for the code which indicates whether a gene is on or off.
This is known as epigenetics.
Is the the epigenetic change which has been identified as a 'scar' on the DNA because of lack of food, or a specific adaptation to the shortage of food?
Epigenetics could be a mechanism which allows an individual to adapt rapidly to changed circumstances.
Changes in the DNA sequence occur by chance and it takes generations before a favourable mutation spreads throughout the population.
By then, a temporary famine is long past.
It could be that the metabolism of children of the Hunger Winter has been set at a more economical level, driven by epigenetic changes.
This could explain why children of the Hunger Winter suffer more frequently from obesity and cardio-vascular diseases. Diabetis, schizofrenia is also higher. Woman in this group have a higher risk of breastcancer.
It makes you think about countries that have famines!.

I know, that is "only" one of many sad things that happened.
The fooddroppings are still in peoples mind, certainly in that area of the country.
Tulipbulbs were food than, not for blooming in spring.
