While both accomplish the same ends, I think one is based on religious fervor while the nazis seemed to be basing their on scapegoat issues, ie, taking the blame for a bad economy. In 1900 or there abouts, there was a doctor in Lynchburg, VA who discovered a new word. that word was eugenics which means the cleansing of society by getting rid of "unneeded" aspects. This meant that he put labels on certain people and declared certain types as undesirable and a burden to society. Undesirable types were prostitutes, alcoholics, people who seem to be in perpetual poverty, the insane, people with congenital birth defect who pass their bad genes on to their progeny, people who live together and breed and who are not married. there were quite a number of "socially undesirable" classifications. The way in which the doctor and his supporters rid society of these burdens was to sterilize them. And, this they did. In the state of VA, there was a large number of sterilization clinics and the way they got people to "volunteer" for sterilization was quite simple. In an interview I say on PBS concerning the eugenics, the interviewer asked a survivor of that time how the sterilization came about. The elderly survivor said that he was 6 at the time and he was taken into a room where there was a nurse sitting at a little desk and who had a typewriter. The child was asked the question of should a person who is sick be made to be well? Of course everyone said yes and this was their agreement to "be made well" and volunteer for sterilization. The elderly person said he was taken to a room and his testicles were removed. He said that he remembered all of the other people screaming and crying during the long dark nights at the "hospital". The whole thing was challenged in the court of law in that state as to whether or not it was humane. The doctor and his supporters enlisted the aid of their state senator who had it passed and made into state law. This was appealed to the US Supreme Court and that court upheld it, the US Supreme Court ruled that it was legal to perform eugenics. At that point, special "clinics" sprang up all across america and literally tens of thousands were "made well". As the PBS documentary pointed out, it was not until 1978 that the state of VA acknowledged the wrongfulness of it and they merely apologized to those who are still living. Then, when Hitler came into power and needed to "make his society better", he acknowledged the effectiveness of eugenics and brought the doctor, the senator and some of their supporters to Germany and awared them with some sort of meritorious award. Hitler then launched his own propoganda campaign via the movies, radio and the news papers. Generally it would show a young couple expecting a baby and it was learned that the child would be born with some sort of defect and the question would be put to the audience as whether or not would the couple burden society and themselves with a deformed child or would it be better to simply "get rid of the deformed fetus". There were many many movies and such to convince the populace that eugenics is the only way to go in order to eliminate "undesirables" and cleanse society. Jews were included in the long list of "undesireables". And they adopted the USA methods of "ridding society of these undesirables". So, never ever think that the tactics of extermination were dreamed up by the Germans. To the contrary, they are a product of America. The documentary, "The Lynchberg Papers" can be found in the archives section on PBS and it is definitely worth watching.

These are the terms used by the zionist entities, to promote their agendas on to the world. Onething is coming positive out of all this, and that is that the zionists are now exposed in front of the peace loving world. the old saying is, what you sow shall you reap. the zionist sowed hatred towards the world, and now they are reaping its effects.
